A Traumatic Background

After the hunt, gathering, and exploring the surroundings, the two returned to the hut when the sun started to set, signaling the coming of evening.

Though it was a fruitful day for them, as they had gathered enough food to last 2 or 3 days, Magna felt slightly disappointed by the exploration.

First of all, there was nothing magical about the place. All the animals and plants he had seen were ordinary, and none of them had the golden glow that usually appeared around mana-rich things.

Another thing was that there wasn't much to explore due to the area being on a mountaintop. It was the kind of small area that could be completely explored within a few hours.

Apart from the place being boring, there was another problem he had started to face, which was his full mana reserve.

It had hit 100% a long while ago, and now every bit of extra mana he gained through his natural regeneration was simply slipping away from his body.
