Leveling Up In A Fantasy World(TBATE) (HIATUS)

New Zone

I slowly opened my eyes, seeing the dead aether monster lying dead with my spear on top of its head.

I slowly got up but felt a little bit sore. I think I got my rib and left shoulder destroyed but my body got regenerated huh?

The air was filled with aether as expected. I went near the corpse and placed my hand.

I could feel all the aether get sucked by my hand and spread through my dragonic body.

This place is full of mysterious beings that coexist with aether. And I am a being that can't control aether.

I must find a way to harness the power of aether.

9.5%

I couldn't feel my body changing so the aether inside its body must be finished, or my body craves for more aether.

After feeling satisfied, I ripped my bone spear out of its deformed head.

I searched the cave much more and in one of the rooms, there were four eggs and crystals surrounding them, acting as a nest.

This room was full of aether particles too. I was feeling hungry for the aether in this room

Hungry? Just because I absorbed aether, my body now recognizes aether as food.

And this creates questions in my head. Can every asura use aether, or...

No, The third-eyed asura I met in Dicathen, or with the simple name Aldir, I think he wasn't able to work with Aether that much.

Ugh, I had no information about these asuras.

Shaking my has I reached for the eggs. I placed my hands and absorbed aether one by one.

After finishing the last egg, a sudden rush of pain made me flinch a little. But soon the pain got even more unimaginable and made me fall to the ground on my arms.

I grasped my chest, heaving for more air, but instead, I puked some water to the ground. I clenched my teeth trying to bear the pain by trying to channel the remaining mana to my body.

I felt a little better but the mana channeling my body erupted and scattered around making little cracks on the walls.

After that, the pain started regaining control and my eyes darkened. I fell to the ground on my back and the pain suddenly went just like how it came.

I was feeling like crap. I wiped my mouth and stood up. I was feeling lighter.

I clenched my fist two or three times to adjust to the chances.

The most different thing was before I was seeing aether particles blurry but this time they were more clear.

I searched this room a little and saw equipment inside the purplish crystals. I placed my hands on them and felt absorbing them.

It wasn't effective as before.

The aether crystals lost their purple light and crumbled, revealing the gears.

These gears must belong to the people that became its food.

I picked bone spear from the ground and now the aether around it was revealed to my eyes. But with the weapons on the ground, there wasn't even a single particle on them.

I only took a bag, and leather clothes to change my tattered ones. I suddenly noticed that my hand was a little white. I got confused, was it always like that, or changed now?
