The next day is a new day, one Ryker intend on making himself stronger. He already did his best to make his monsters stronger, so it should be his turn now.
Though, to make himself stronger, he needs SP, a resource that is harder to get than LP. Thankfully, him deciding to hunt down every single tribes of monsters in the Lunos Forest paid off.
Currently, his SP is off the chart.
< System Space Tier 3 Level 6
Space Limit (Population) : 27896/70000
Space Limit (Equipment) : 15000/17500
Space Limit (Lair) : 3000/3500
Mana Point: 50000/100000
Soul Point: 27 095 720
Lust Point: 12 057 090 >
This is the first time his SP exceed his LP. Then again, LP just recently uses to upgrade his system space level, so such thing is understandable. Plus, he used LP on a daily basis compared to SP, which is used to buy Grimoires and upgrades to his body.
Speaking of upgrade to his body, Alros decided it is time for it. Before, he spend on Grimoire, which is a good investment as not only he can use it, by other people as well.
Some of his women, especially the Elder Witches have become stronger with the help of the Grimoires so it is a great investment. And not just sentient race, monsters also able to learn from the Grimoires, as can be attested by his Goblin Shaman, Ogres, and some of his Kobolds and Orcs.
Which is more than a tenth of his current SP. However, Alros did not mind as the purpose for him gathering so many SP is for his sake. So, the amount of SP he need to use did not cause him that much pain.
However, the transformation to upgrade his body, well, that will be painful, no doubt of it. He still remember the pain he feel when he upgrade it one by one. If he go straight to level 5, Alros is certain he will be howling like a banshee.
"Oh, the price to pay," he said to himself. Still, with the remaining SP, he could get 48 third volume Grimoires, along with their first and second volume.
He is not even sure if there are that many Grimoires, though there could be some books about Mana, Mana Manipulation, Alchemy, and many other disciplines related to Magic. There could also be some combat manuals detailing different weapons and different fighting styles.
He mostly ignored them to there is no weapon that can suit his current strength, plus his claws are more than enough, but it may change soon. Plus, such books could be useful for his women and monsters.
"Think about those latter, now, time for some upgrades," he took a deep breath and with shaking arms, press it.
The pain did not come until 5 seconds later, when he dropped his guards. His screams could have woken up the dead as he was subjected to intense pain.
It is a good thing he did this inside the system space and somewhere relatively isolated. Despite the pain, he continue to trudge on, as he knew the end result will be beneficial for him.

When he woke up, the pain causing him to blackout, Alros stood up and looked at himself. He then proceed to check every part of him. His horn, surprisingly did not get larger, though it definitely become stronger and sharper, but only when he wanted it to for the latter.
His claws, well, they could not be called claws anymore as they looked more like gauntlets with how it wrapped around his arms, from his hands to his shoulder.
His tail remained of the same length but it definitely become stronger, as he was able to rip a tree with it, and threw a boulder as large as an ogre with it. Oh, and crush said boulder as well. Thankfully, the crushing can be control or he might kill his women if he decided to tighten his tail around their waist or something.
The one thing that clearly different, aside from claws are his wings. It is now larger than his entire body, with the shape being closer to a dragon wings compares to the bat wings from before.
He flapped his wings, only to create a powerful gust that toppled trees. Thankfully, he can control it as well.
