================================

It seemed his HP, SP and MP had improved even if his stats didn't change. His crafting abilities have reached another level as his GLASSBLOWING was now at Master Rank, but he could feel that even his SMITHING had improved, even if it was already at Master Rank.

But the most significant change on him was his mana control.

Before, he felt some restriction when he was manipulating mana, but it wasn't that great to restrict him, or so he thought.

His manipulation was four times faster than before, but this didn't mean his casting time was four times faster as there were other factors. He felt the mana of his without using his MANA SENSE circling in him and could tell how much he had without the System's help.

When he used, his now officially counted as Master Rank, MANA SENSE at first, he didn't notice much difference until he saw some writing on each type of mana source.

It had written the element(s) of each one source he could find with his Skill and gave him a percent number. He did some tests, and it didn't take him long to discover what that number was about. It seemed to be how compatible the mana was with his Mana Tree, so the ones with the highest tree would help grow his Mana Tree faster and safer as if one kept feeding incompatible mana to his Mana Tree would cause damage to it at some point.

Even his STEALTH and MARTIAL ART, he could feel them getting strengthened somewhat. It was like something clicked in his mind, and he started using his skills in a different way, a better and more potent form.

He even felt like he could handle his Breaking-Limit state better now than before but wouldn't know the difference until he gave it a try.

But for now, he left it to test it later as he stored his Class Crystal to his Spatial Ring that fortunately still had with him. He wasn't going to use it yet as he wanted to learn more Spells. Of course, if he used it now and got a Mage Class, it would make learning new Spells easier, but he wanted to get the best class he could with using the crystal, so he had to improve himself as much as he could before using it. That way, the possible class being a rare one should be better.

He stood up and stretched a little to get his body ready to move on. He felt little pain by moving, but he noticed the herbs and elixirs had decreased it to almost nothing.

He headed towards the kitchen, where he found three individuals drinking tea.

Of course, two of them were Aneta and Keremon, while the other figure was a big fellow.

He was close to two and a half meters tall if he stood, but he was currently sitting to fit in the house and not hit the ceiling as the ceiling wasn't that high. He was wearing that had a hood that would cover his face, but he didn't have it up now—no facial hairs or even hair on his face, which was somewhat white-grey. His eyes were of an utterly dark color.

This was a Half-Giant, more specifically, a Half-Stone Giant.
