Just a little more!

I'm slowly getting tired of this chase. Even though i'm using my power to restore my stamina to the peak, i'm still a beginner so the burden in my mind is still too much

I really need to get used to this and practice my power more to a decent level

I'm simultaneously using my power to restore my stamina, stop them in their tracks or atleast slow them down, catching the earth, rocks, stones, destroyed branches, tree's with my power so i wouldn't be hit and making the stealing process much more faster and trying to peak at the future for assurance and how many more minutes it would take before they lose their strength

All of this is consuming me, as my mind is going to overload, although i can use my power to revert my body back to peak condition, that only applies to my physical not my mental condition

And as such i'm almost reaching my limit, my head is throbbing so much, but i still did my best to hold on

10 years left for them

Faster! Make it faster! Faster!!

As i chanted this in my head, i used my power to put more distance and use it to suck more time from the boars faster.

And when their time hit 5years they started to visibly slown down as exhaustion can be seen from them from their ragged breathing

"Hum..aan!! Stop. Running!"

I willed my power more to steal time faster and after a few seconds the lackeys of the chief boar started to slump in the forest one by one.

After a minute only the chief is left with 10 years above it's head

"Humaan!! You. Angry. Me!!"

Since i already got so much time fron the other boars i stopped running and decided to face the chief boar

Now that you're alone, my chance in surviving increased.

I don't know why but i just feel confident. I feel confident that i can do it. That i can defeat this one. But i still won't let my guard down as one tiny mistake would lead to my death

With 5 years left from its lifespan the chief boar berserk, since lifespan is equivalent to life too, and to think they can also go berserk

"You! Human! Kill them! You!"

I think he's saying that i killed the other boars, but what can i do? If i don't i would die instead

I didn't say anything and just look at the now reddish boar. Sharping my senses to the limits as well as readying my power and body

The chief boar started creating a boulder much like what it did at first but i won't let it complete that and used my power to revert the spell making the boars actions of making a boulder fail

"Hum..aan!!"

The boar scream and i think for its last attempt started charging at me for all it have

I used my power to accelerate myself and got out of its range, i was almost hit because of its enormous size!

That continued for 20 more seconds until it slumped with only a few minutes more in its time

It doesn't even have the necessary strength to speak as glaring at me is the only thing it can do

Every other boar didn't turn to dust i wondered why but i think its because of mana that courses through their body keeping it intact

I can kill them later but since my status window didn't show any levels maybe i wouldn't also level up if i kilk them instead as these world is a fantasy one, i thought that their would be a store that would buy monster meat or something similar to that, plus i can also cook their meat so i have something to eat as i don't know how much time i will need to get out of this forest

I used my power to freeze the space around their nose so that they won't be able to breath that would lead to their deaths

I did this for atleast almost an hour as i ran for so far that you can imagine how this body even be able to handle it, but then again this is a fantasy world

People's lifespan are around a hundred so basically the bodies of people here would also be atleast stronger than people in earth not including mana that the novels said can be use to strengthen the bodies of people

As i put their bodies in my inventory i started to think how big is my inventory is. But then after i put the body of a boar, a system prompt saying my inventory is full appeared.

To think i can put 3 boar and 1 chief boar that is as big as 3 super boar, and think about it, one super boar is as big as an average house but to think 6 would fit in my inventory, its really big. There are still 4 more boar but my inventory is now full

[:System can be upgraded. Would you like to upgrade it now?]

A system prompt that show i can already upgrade it show. I wonder how can i further upgrade it. Does it have requirements need to fulfill just like when i need to awaken my power or other?

[:The host need to grow in order for the system to grow]

What? I've grown right now? Is it because of the time stolen?

As i thought that i take a look at my window and see what changed, the system answered my question again

[:The first upgrade requires the host to awaken its dormant/innate power while the second one needs the host to steal 500years worth of time and be able to use the power to a certain extent]

[:The host is able to simultaneously use your power in fighting the boars effectively and that is what it means to grow]

As i heard the system praise me i felt a little bit relieved

We-well if you say it like that, then i guess i can't help but to accept it. Me while looking a little bit proud

Then what are the benefits of the system upgrades? Other than showing my general info?

[:Every upgrade, the inventory capacity will increase as well as the systems capabilities to help the host to adjust in this world.]

[:Regarding the abilities of the system, the system can help the host in ways, by answering questions limited to yourself, your power and abilities, and memory]

Hmm.. that much..i guess its ok but i feel like it's does'nt do much

[:The host got a powerful power that can shake the world to its very core, as well as a subject of envy to even the gods. The system advices the host to not be too greedy.]

Gods huh. I guess they really are real considering the fact that powers, fantasy world is true.

Yeah let's not be too greedy, my power alone is already op, but a subject of envy even to gods? How is that possible? Aren't gods powerful? Can't they do what i can do? And even much more than that? I thought sarcastically as i thought of how useless gods are

[: If we are to go the logic of the novels the hosts has read, there is a high chance that gods also have limitations such as a fire god cannot control water and a water god cannot control fire. Since fantasy worlds and powers are real just like in novels the host has read, gods might also have a power limited to their element.]

I frowned, hearing that cursed word again and again i feel irritated now. That damned word, the system should stop mentioning that word as my mood is starting to take turn for the worst again

"System, as much as possible don't ever mention that word"

[: This system understands]
