According to some fantasy novels, talent is a gift that the world gives when a person is born into the world. No matter how hard you try, it's hard to get past those who are born with sky-high talent.
And the day passed just like that, without him knowing it, it had been 25 days since he arrived in this world.
Feeling himself playing too much, Bruce abandoned all his training and focused on Mana's core creation.
Bruce is, like never before, a blind man who doesn't know which direction he wants to go, stumbling over invisible obstacles and falling into the abyss of despair.
Failure is the teacher of success. He had heard those words from someone, and that was what gave him hope. For the past half a month, he has never stopped trying and has kept trying to form a core of mana.
But it always fails at different stages.
After sufficient preparation, Bruce locked himself inside the apartment room. He also warns Umaru not to bother him for now, she is obliged to listen to the order if she still has the intention to use Bruce's belongings freely.
There were some mistakes in the past that he managed to note: the speed of core creation that was too rushed, the size of the mana core that was too large because he was greedy, and the process of merging the mana core with the soul that always failed to connect.
Over the past month and a half, pain has become an additional spice in Bruce's daily life.
Sometimes he thinks. Has he finally become a masochist?
So this session is the last, he swears.
Bruce sat in the lotus position while closing his eyes. He regulated his breathing regularly and entered a zen state.
Eliminate any useless and disturbing thoughts.
First of all, he directed his vision into his body, checking if there was any damage that might damage the mana core-making process. It wouldn't hurt to be too careful.
After looking carefully and thoroughly, he was relieved when no serious injuries occurred.
Moreover, his body now had an enormous amount of mana than he had half a month ago, an enormous amount of mana flowing in his blood circulation like a molten silver liquid.
He then begins the manufacture of the mana core.
At first, Bruce collected the mana that was in the surrounding atmosphere in small quantities. The mana flow got into his skin and gathered in his chest.
A small, steady stream of mana slowly formed in the center of his chest. After that, Bruce compressed the mana to compact.
Mana slowly showed its physical form, circling and forming a round object.
After a while, a transparent and thin ball formed in the center of Bruce's chest, but do not worry about the state of the bubble.
That was the function of the mana flying around him, mana flows through his skin and into the core of mana as big as a baseball slowly.
His forehead was sweating profusely as he tried to concentrate fully.
Keeping the mana absorption rate steady, Bruce next compressed the mana core, which was initially the size of a baseball, to slowly get smaller.
The mana core slowly shrinks until it becomes the size of a golf ball. Only then does it stop shrinking and start spinning like an orbiting planet in the solar system.
When rotating, the mana core will absorb the wild mana in the air. It was exactly like the eye of the storm.
The function of the eye of the storm eye is to passively attract the wild mana that is around its body and absorb it. In addition to speeding up the mana regeneration process, the core will also grow slowly.
Originally, he wanted to create something resembling a black hole, capable of absorbing all the mana in the world.
That's if the idea works.
But something snapped in his brain and said it was a bad idea, so Bruce aborted the crazy plan before dying of overload.
After everything is done correctly, there remains the last and most important step to do, according to him.
Bruce connects the core of the newly created mana with his soul.
System notifications rang in his head, in appreciation of the hard work he had gone through without giving up. The function of the last step is very important, according to Bruce. The soul is something metaphysical, it cannot be seen or touched.
That is, his mana core is no longer physical, it exists but does not exist, that is, it is.
His enemy's fist will not destroy the core, which is what Bruce feared when choosing this method. So he prepared security measures in this way. The reason for doing this is rather simple, because not everyone can damage the soul.
Often, such incidents occur in Chinese comics, with cultivators incapacitating another cultivator's meridian, forcibly or accidentally.
Bruce opened his eyes, looked at the system notification, and smiled, beaming.
"This is the class I need."
[Mage: someone who fights using magic from a distance, keeping a distance from enemies while releasing a variety of large-scale elemental damage. Effect: Magic talent will increase by 10%]
"Instead of wasting 5% of talent on melee combat, this class is a perfect choice," Bruce commented when comparing the Mage class to the Battlemage class.
- It's time to get out of the room and see the world- he thought as he got up from the meditative position.
After sitting for a very long time, his legs felt cramped and stiff when walking. Bruce walks into the bathroom and sees his sweaty self in the mirror.
"You're the best, you're also the greatest," he said narcissistically.
He took off all the clothes and slid into the bath.
"System! Status!" he commands while wiping all the dirt off his body with soap.
[Name: Bruce Banner
Race: Human
Gender: male
Condition: half of your lifespan has been lost, your soul is wounded.
System features: Gate of Another World, inventory, titles.
Title: Worldwalker, System User, Researcher.
Class: Mage
Sub Class:-
Essence: 0.002%]
"Hmmm, not much has changed. Could it be because it doesn't have the energy it needs?" Bruce didn't think much of it.
The most worrying thing is the Gate feature. That feature does not absorb his mana or stamina, that damn feature can't be used without cost.
It was a feature that did travel between worlds, a very rare ability. Not many movies or anime have an MC with that ability.
- Could this feature be using Hulk powers as fuel?- suddenly such a thought appeared in his mind.
"System! Don't use the Hulk's powers anymore to fuel the Gate feature, you understand?" Bruce was very frightened and immediately gave orders to the system.
[...]
"It's up to you what energy you absorb, as long as it's not Hulk's power. The last time I felt it, it was already defective," he said, seriously seeing the system still not responding.
"If, in the magic world, just absorb the mana in the atmosphere, I can wait how long it takes. And vice versa, if in a world without magic, use anything that can be used."
[Ding! Orders accepted]
"Hey! You can respond, why are you always silent when I ask?" Bruce was surprised when the system he thought was disabled turned out to be able to respond to his commands.
[...]
"FUCK!!" he shouted angrily.
