Talk about fast-paced progression, in two weeks I became stronger than the Ice Wolves that tormented me every night with their loud howls, which I even had nightmares about.
Well, just yesterday I was fighting for my life against these bastards.
…Not like I can fight against them indefinitely, I am tired right now.
I quickly grab the corpses, I throw two over my back and use the sharp crystals to get them stuck over them for the moment, while carrying another corpse with my jaws.
Now that I am this big it's rather easy to carry these corpses.
But now where the heck do I hide.
I decided to quickly eat one of the wolves alongside his Mana Core as I think about it. I really don't want to meet any Middle Stage or above monster while I try to relax and assess everything.
Then, the idea I had on my mind before surges once more.
I should simply build a shelter for myself!
Just like the time I evolved, and I was somehow covered by a layer of ice which protected me from whatever grabbed the wolf corpse that I wasn't able to eat.
Can't I do the same now?
I begin to quickly dig the snow with my strong claws.
I have so much stamina after eating a whole wolf and its mana core that I do this rather quickly.
I enhance my body with mana too, and my claws are pretty fucking big.
After around two hours, I seem to have managed to dig a pretty big hole below a small hill.
I quickly get inside as I plan to dig deeper to make myself more comfortable and put my intent into my Ice Magic, quickly creating an ice wall to seal the hole.
As it is now snowing pretty harshly, the door is quickly covered in snow, and I finally feel safe!

It is just a small hole of dirt, but I really feel way more comfortable now…
Maybe my inner Neet was really asking me to do this.
I quickly begin to dig more to make myself more comfortable, while also putting ice in the ceiling so the ground doesn't fall over me.
I was lucky that the dirt itself was frozen and there were a lot of stones, so it maintained itself quite well, there is probably not much risk of getting buried alive.
And even if I were buried alive, I should be able to get out.
Phew, home sweet home…
Ugh, I am quite tired now.
Maybe I should take a little nap.
…
[Day 16]
That was the most relaxing nap I've ever had in a while.
Now I feel pretty refreshed.
Alright, time to get to work.
Yesterday I hunted 3 delicious Ice Wolves and ate one pretty quickly, my stomach is like three times its original size now, and well, I can eat more than my own size thanks to Immortal Body anyways.
Now I quickly open the other two wolves' carcasses and eat their Mana Cores as well, which bring me a tiny bit of power, not anything too big, just single digits.
I began to think that I might be the only one here with the ability to get stronger by eating Mana Cores…
Like, if every monster had such a power, shouldn't they all be way stronger?
I mean, just by eating a few rabbits and some wolves I already became middle stage…
Shouldn't there be more wolves at Rank 1 Middle Stage then?
Yeah, I know, it's weird.
Maybe the monsters of this world do evolve through some means similar to mine, but maybe they need way more?
I don't think they eat the Mana Cores, so it's probably my own unique ability!

Well, aren't I super unique and incredible then?
…No, I don't have to be so overconfident.
Anyways, whether a monster can grow like me or not doesn't really matter at this point, I am merely thinking this to entertain my mind.
I mean, I am just here in a completely pitch-black mini-cave.
I can see due to having a dark vision as a monster! But still, it's pretty dark.
Okay, I will stop complaining pointlessly and get to work.
What should I do, you may wonder?
Well, cultivate my ass off!
I am going to cultivate like there's no tomorrow.
So when I finally find those arrogant young masters I can sweep the floor with them and when I see the jade beauties I can steal them and… Yeah, no.
I don't want any of that, nope.
Not for me, I am not such a character to get myself involved with such people.
I just want to grill for fuck's sake.
So, time to cultivate.
I quickly begin to concentrate my will on the flow of mana around my body.
My Mana Core begins to glow brightly as it receives the flows of mana and easily helps me control these rivers of blue ethereal essence.
By moving them all around my body, I can more or less begin to nourish my entire body and most importantly, my Mana Core itself.
Oh yes, here we go…
It is working, and… way faster than before too!
Heh, I seem to be a cultivation bigshot.
…Joking!
I suck.
Maybe not so much though?
Nah, I suck.
If this is really a magical world with cultivation tropes, then it is probably filled with monsters everywhere.
And I mean not the ones I hunt and eat, I mean monsters in strength!
Like those old immortals who have lived for thousands of years and are unbelievable OP but always lose to the protagonist who is a retarded kid with too much luck.
Whew, I sure hope I can be like those main characters. No, I mean, the luck, not the other thing.
I should have wished for perfect luck or something…
Imagine a Unique Skill like… Heaven Defying Luck!
Would you imagine if there were more Reincarnated people like me around this world?
Haha, I wonder what they wished for…
No, I better not imagine that.
I don't want that!
That would be way too chaotic.
Would you imagine a bunch of idiots from Earth coming here with overpowered cheats and wreaking havoc all around the world?
…Ugh.
Anyways, I stop thinking such stupid stuff as I begin to train my body as well.
I slash things with my claws, bite rocks with my jaws, control ice and winds around me, and hit myself with my tail.
I fear that I might become a masochist…
Oh god, please have mercy.

Shade and Flow
In the Wastelands, if you were cursed by Shade, you were destined to be shunned, driven away, even killed on sight; you were a creature of darkness, of shadow, cold-blooded and unwanted. But, if you were blessed by Flow, you were the best humankind could offer, a role-model for any sapients. Loke and Nova were born by the same parents, yet even though they embodied the two faces of the medal, they lived in the same dreadful circumstances, but what would happen if one day the greatest beings of the world decided that the siblings would become their Champions? A Warning: There is an Anti-hero lead for a reason, and there should also be a Y.A. tag, but RR doesn't have it; therefore here it is. So, there's going to be blood, there might be carnage, but there will also be wholesomeness, romance, and affection. But most importantly, there will be Action. About the LitRPG: This novel is a slow-burn, with a lot of character development, yet the LitRPG element starts in Chapter 3 and becomes more prominent as the protagonist evolves his Skill. Further elements appear in Chapter 38. I'm not a native speaker: If you see any typos, please point them out, and I shall fix them as soon as possible. Thank you! Release Days: Twice a weak Release Time: ~ 09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000

Discover the world with Alz as he sets off on an adventure, experiencing many new encounters, and overcoming obstacles along the way as he slowly delved deeper into the truths behind the world. --- IMPORTANT NOTE: This story is not fantasy-themed and not I didn't omit the fantasy tag by mistake. That said, there is meaning and significance to the title, except that it will be unveiled only much later into the story. Magical elements and the like will not be a factor in most of the story until the very end. tl;dr: This is not fantasy, magic doesn't play a role in the story. --- Updates: Will try to post a chapter once every 2 days PS. This is my first novel so there might be several issues in various aspects which I might not notice so comments are highly appreciated. --- This is more to add pressure to myself rather than anything else... but anyways the story is now part of the pledge!
