I stretched my hand toward the lava pool again, focusing entirely on the heat particles.
They rushed toward me, faster this time, flowing through my veins and into the core. The Generator roared to life, devouring the energy and converting it into pure Essence.
In just twenty five minutes, I had generated 10 units of Essence.
I exhaled slowly, feeling the heat around me grow weaker as I drained it from the atmosphere. My body....it was adapting.
The Generator Core wasn't just absorbing energy anymore. It was naturally pulling particles toward me, as if my very presence was beginning to influence the environment.
My Essence store was full again, and I only needed 5 points for Strength to hit 50.
If I added all 20 units to Strength, it would permanently increase by 6 points and reach the threshold.
But I needed a break.
My body felt completely done for the day.
I sat down, ate some food, drank some steaming water, and went to sleep.
