My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 62: Absorbing Mana Cores to Increase Cultivation!

-----

Frank opened the Inventory as he grabbed a bit over fifty F-Grade Mana Cores that he had gathered between yesterday and today in Terra through his hunts.

He had remembered how he could absorb these mysterious crystals. Unlike the Magic Crystals from Earth or the ones dropped from the Domains he created, these seemed to be capable of enhancing his capabilities, while Magic Crystals could not, but could instead, be converted into App Points if he wanted.

Although such a thing did not have much value as of now, as he hasn't unlocked the App Shop yet nor the App Gacha to even begin spending the points he had slowly gathered since he acquired his Ability.

Frank touched the Mana Cores as he was quickly greeted by a System Window.

[52 Mana Cores have been detected]

[Required World's Source Energy to break through Mana Core Cultivation of Rank 1 Initial Stage: 0/100]

"World Source Energy? So it doesn't ask me for a specific amount of Mana Cores now?" wondered Frank, as he used Inspect into the 'World's Source Energy' word within the System message.

[World Source Energy: The primordial source essence within a world. Its quality, capabilities, and power vary depending in each world, and are always different]

"How much of that energy does these 52 Mana Cores give me?" wondered Frank.

The System, however, did not answer him…

"Hm, well, I guess I can simply eat them all and try… though I could sell these for money… But well, I can simply hunt more tomorrow, I am even planning on going to a local dungeon here, so things might get interesting… Anyways, time to absorb,"

[Do you wish to absorb 52 Mana Cores (F-Grade)?]

[>YES NO]

"Sure thing," said Frank.

Flash!

As Frank decided to absorb the Mana Cores, the pile of fifty-two glowed in bright white and purple light, as they suddenly converted into particles of white light and merged into Frank's body through his hands. The stream of mana filled his entire body until they reached his Mana Core, nourishing it.

"Hahhh… This actually feels very refreshing… Not painful at all," thought Frank, as he felt as if he was meditating.

On his relaxation, it was as if time went on very quickly, as the System alerted Frank of the success of the Mana Cores absorption.

Ding!

[You gained +18 World's Source Energy (Terra)]

[World's Source Energy (Terra): 18/100]

"That was more than I expected… So, I can simply hunt Horned Rabbits and in like a few days I will be able to breakthrough? Well, that is certainly quite easy… I suppose that the people here would take a few years to do what I can do… Now I feel a bit bad for them, but there is nothing I can do over it," thought Frank.

Frank then checked his status again, as he saw that none of his stats increased, but that the count of World's Source Energy from Terra now appeared within the status.

"I wonder what's Ruby's requirements… the same as me?" wondered Frank, as the System answered his question.

[Required World's Source Energy (Terra) for [Ruby] to successfully break through her Cultivation Rank Stage: 0/150]

"Oh, it's more than me? Why? …Maybe Abraddon's Divine Protection is shortening the amount needed for me? Well, that Divine Protection is filled with wonderful effects that enhance my growth, so it seems like a feasible reason behind this… Should I ask it next time to bless Ruby? Or maybe the rest of the kids? …No, that might only bring more problems, but if its Ruby, who is seen as a simple tamed monster, no one would think much of her, nor they would check if she even had a tattoo or something…" thought Frank, considering this idea for the next time that he was to see Abraddon, that might not be too far away, as he feared that the God might ask him for more snacks and entertainment very soon, whenever he was to be done with what Frank brought to him.

"Grawr!" said Ruby, waving her tail as she walked towards Frank.

"We did a lot of work today, you seem quite tired, so let us go back for now. We are working hard already… And I think that I might bring you to Earth if you behave and remain into your little form though," said Frank.

"Grawr!" said Ruby, she seemed to have grown more obedient now and less clumsy, Frank had confidence in that she would behave whenever they were on Earth.

Ruby was already a staple on Frank's combat capabilities, she was the companion he had the most synergy with, and the one that kept growing at a similar pace to him. He already treasured her greatly and wanted to bring her to whatever adventures he had.

Frank made the Hunting Domain dissipate as he slowly made his way back home, however, he ended up stopping near the front yard farm.

Frank glanced at the corner of the farm as a little and weakened radish plant was struggling to survive, it seems that the rest of the plants had absorbed most of the nutrients around it, and it was now malnourished and near death.

Of course, such things were very common in farms, even with a lot of experience and care, there was always the one little plant that didn't manage to grow properly and died out quite young.

For some reason, Frank felt pity for it, a plant.

"…Wait, why do I feel pity for this plant? It is a plant after all… right? What is… Oh, this must be the effects of Botany and Druid? I guess it makes me more sensitive to plants… and I think I am perceiving how the plant feels? Is this why I feel a bit sad out of a sudden? Damn…"

Frank walked near the young, weak, and malnourished radish plant as he touched it with his hand.

"Let's give it a shot, shall we?" said Frank.

"Grawr!" said Ruby excitedly, as she had become a little lizard now, and was resting inside of Frank's shirt, poking her little head out to see.

Frank's hands glowed with gold and clear green light as he activated 'Gift of Life', 'Botany' and even 'Druid' at the same time, enhancing the little and weakened radish plant with his power.
