"System, when will my Essence get fully recovered?"
[[122 Minutes until Essence Recovery.]]
"Two hours huh... might as well hunt while waiting..." He could only create 4 stones with his essence, It would be better to spend his essence on creating stones before the essence recovery since his essence would be fully recovered.
"Now then where should I create stones?" His territory was huge but there weren't empty spaces on it, it was full of trees and stones with animals living on them
[[The System suggests the user to destroy trees to create an empty space.]]
"For what?..." Lucio could just hunt more corrupted creatures with the stones, but the system surprisingly suggested him to create an empty space by clearing up trees, why?
The system suddenly showed him a quest.
[[Quest: Create a Temple]]
[[Reward: Unknown ]]
[[Failure Condition: None]]
"Oh." He finally understood it, the system wants him to find a suitable place to create a temple on, for that he needs to clear up some spaces since the mountain was full of trees.
"Can't I just use Destruction to do that?" He hasn't tried to use his skill called Destruction on anything yet so he was curious about it.
[[The User can't use destruction on an object he didn't create.]]
"Fine fine.." He started to search for a suitable place to clear up.
After an hour of searching, he finally found a suitable place to settle in, it was a high up in the mountain but it was suitable for structures, It was full of trees but it should be almost flat if the trees gets removed.
"This place should be suitable..."
"Stone Shot!" He aimed at the nearest tree's trunk then shoots a stone at it.
Bang! There was now a hole in the middle of the tree, but it wasn't big enough to put the whole tree down.
"....." Does he really need two shots for a tree to go down?, it would take days for the whole place get cleared up if he does that!
"Stone Shot!"
Bang! with that, the tree fell down.
"Alright.. next tree!"
"Stone Shot!" He aimed for the
"Stone Shot!" And with the fourth stone shot, he ran out of essence to create anything
"is there a more efficient way to destroy those trees?" He asked the system
[[With the Users current strength, there isn't.]]
".... So I need to wait for the next recovery?" With his new huge essence capacity, it takes a longer time for it to get refilled, when he became a god he only need 10 minutes to recover 50% of his essence but now he needs to wait for a few hours before recovering his essence, it doesn't recover one by one but fully recovers after a certain time.
"....Alright time to wait then." He had no choice but to wait, He closed his eyes and started counting again, He closed his eyes and started counting, He doesn't know if he has eyes but whenever he thought about closing his eyes his vision darkens.
One.
Two.
Three.
Counting became his habit after spending a few years counting...
...
....
1419..
[[Your Essence has fully recovered.]]
[[Essence:1550/1550]]
"Wait... Not even an hour has passed by why did my essence recovered quickly?" He asked the system
"So all I had to do was meditate to manually recover my essence without killing anything?" He was getting tired of hunting corrupted creatures, plus their numbers was running out and he can't hunt without atleast a hundred essence either so he has no choice but to wait for the system essence recovery.
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
[[The User didn't ask about it]]
"...." Is the system designed to help him or to mess around with him?
[[The User can meditate and regain essence every second the user meditates.]]
"I wasted all those hours when I could just meditate and recover it...", He then closed his eyes and cleared his thoughts, he doesn't know how will he meditate since he doesn't need to breathe anymore, he had nothing to focus on but counting...
"Wait counting?..." Now that the noticed it, his essence recovers quickly whenever he started counting, he was regaining essences while he counts!
"I didn't waste my time afterall!"
[[The User is a god, time doesn't matter-]]
"Useless system" He muttered.
"Alright!" He opened his eyes and then started shooting the trees down, It was quicker than it used to be now that he can just meditate and recover essence instead of hunting corrupted creatures or waiting till the essence recovery.
"Stone Shot!"
"Stone Shot!"
"Stone Shot!"
"Stone Shot..."
