Chapter 9 - The experience

After receiving the experience points from the kill and confirming that it was dead. Avra inquired how to proceed with gaining its trait through his and the system responded.

Reading the panel and double checking to make sure he didn't miss any steps, he placed his hand upon the boars back and willed his mana to his hand, the process consuming 50 mana due to it leaking from his hand from lack of control.

By the time the panel finished updating and Avra read the words he was overwhelmed with pain, his body collapsing to the floor, with a feeling like his soul was on fire. Being hit with a hammer continuously, then cooled, and heated to be hit again, slowly his skin started to darken into a deeper shade, only to lighten up again, gaining a slight rosy tint to his skin.

The pain was too overwhelming to feel though, his soul was being rewritten from the inside, to accommodate a trait his body never had. His soul became a wheat in a wheat mill except every time his soul was close to crumbling it regenerated stronger than before, the effects of his strengthened soul feeding into his body, creating a trait.

Slowly the pain died down when his body and soul fully adapted to the feeling, the crumbling no longer keeping up with his souls regeneration due to its now natural state of density and hardness.

Coming out of his stupor with a groan Avra's hoarse voice spoke, "That felt like I was dieing, but growing stronger a the same time, an oddly satisfying sensation that I would rather not experience unless absolutely safe, not in the middle of a forest clearing."

And then the panel appeared with a new notification.
