--------------
Avrin had spent a few hours practicing his so called magic. Over the course of ti, he found little need to waste mana to manifest food, so he just devoured chunks of the nearby rock that he experinted on to quench his hunger and thirst. He didn’t know how it also quenched his thirst, but he theorized that objects alive and inanimate were made of particles that held them together and these particles were made up of a unique sort of mana that he could deconstruct and absorb into his body and sohow from there it would reconstruct into sustenance. It would just an that he would never have to go hungry or thirsty again.
His progress had gone fairly well. He was practicing outside the shelter as proof of his training, though it had been short, he felt courageous enough to protect himself to so degree. He could now form void bolts in both his hands and fire them at will in quick succession or rapid fire. These bolts, though, were aid towards the sky, as he did not want to leave Dark Waste, as he had dubbed it, around the area or on trees. He also managed to summon another void blade, although, when brought near each other they would ld together, as if trying to devour each other to beco larger.
He figured that it would be possible to create a great sword and just pushed the thought of the combining weapons as sothing similar. His most significant progress that he focused towards was augnting himself in his dark aura. He managed to engulf his entire hand in it and the difference was impressive. He was able to crush rocks with as much resistance as clasping his hand in water. The resistance was nearly non-existent. But engulfing his hand proved to show an interesting change.
The longer he let the aura cover his hand, the more it began to change into sothing non-humanoid. It didn’t hurt him at all, but he was cautious regarding the change. It seed like it lded well with him and even enhanced him further the more it stayed on his hand, the stronger the augntation beca. But this wasn’t without negatives. He found his hand was subconsciously absorbing anything he touched, excluding himself. He figured that for it to hold its form it needed a great amount of dark matter.
He was currently allowing the two void blades to rge with each other, as he was now curious towards the result. unlike his first thoughts of it forming a two handed blade, they had ford a single long sword with two blades in a sort of two pronged fork that emitted black and purple electricity from between the two laser like blades. He figured it was a sort of enhancent in cutting power but was proven wrong.
When slashing to practice his new sword it released a wave of black lightning that scorched the ground while cutting across it. It seed to continue on for a good 100 ters across the forest before stopping. This also left him panting and dizzy. It seed he experienced his first case of backfire. He wasn’t used to the amount of dark matter the weapon consud to use such an attack and it stung his body as if distorting it slightly. But he quickly began converting the ground for sustenance, which seed to work like dicine.
"I’ll have to be careful. Although it will be good if I’m in a tight situation. It seems one shot is all I’m able to use. I wonder what else I’m capable of..."
Avrin finished speaking to himself and gazed around. Prior to his training, he had laid a new total of nine mines, all also marked. He was interested in the icicle rabbit that was still there, so he decided to try sothing different. He engulfed the ice spike in his aura and the blue ice began to turn purple, while the rabbit inside of it turned black. Before it began to disintegrate, the ash like energy was attracted towards Avrin's augnted hand like a sort of vacuum.
Avrin thought to himself, as he saw the difference in colour regarding the inanimate and organic object, but it was a thought that would be considered quite lucky to have co up with it. He headed over towards a large rose-like flower coming out of a bush and began to absorb it as well. It turned black too. He figured that the difference in colour for absorbing things was organic material would turn black and inorganic would be purple.
An hour later Avrin began to feel sowhat unbalanced until he realised. It seed without even rembering it his augnted hand had grown three tis in size and was sohow demonic as spikes ca out from around it and his fingers were now razor sharp claws that appeared to be sharper then the void blades he had ford. He decided to cancel it out and his hand slowly began to disintegrate, as if using dark manifestation, until his normal hand was revealed underneath.
“I see. So its effects are indeed strengthened augntation as well as changing the shape of the limb."

Avrin considered trialling a full body augntation. He figured he spent six hours in total with a hand augntation and he did not feel his body was exhausted. He also figured a full body augntation would be significantly more beneficial, but for safety purposes, he headed towards his shelter and devoured the remaining boulder that was so unfortunate as to beco his food.
He shut his eyes as he thought a sort of standing ditation-like pose would help him concentrate.
He pictured himself in a bubble that slowly began to grow smaller until it stuck to his body like glue. Every inch of his body in a weak augntation, being sure not to make it as strong as what he used on his pinky. He was slowly but surely getting better with this ability what made him wonder even more so was that he had hardly failed when creating new abilities it seed sothing was letting him adapt and quickly learn things he would have to find out later otherwise.
The black and purple aura slowly covered his body just like the ooze used to convert his human form to that of a spectral. It was transparent sowhat. It had taken a few seconds for it to completely engulf him and the effects were better than he had expected. He opened his eyes which now had a purple black glow and a purple smoke-like aura emitting from it. His skin was a sort of scaly tal black with a purple tint. His white clothing had beco more of a purplish white. He clenched his hands feeling his grip much stronger then prior to the augntation. He smirked.
"Enhanced strength..." he quickly dashed towards the exit and kicked up dust. The narrow entrance broke off easily as he stood outside and gazed back to see the rock crumbling slightly. “Enhanced speed.." he gazed around in the forest and at the sky he spotted two bird-like creatures deep in the night sky and in the forest he could see large and small creatures alike. Not only was his distance in field of vision increased, but he could see an aura emanating from these creatures. So were green, so were red. The green ones were the small critters. The red ones seed more hostile and predatorily.
He raised his hand and began to form a void blade. In a near instant, the weapon ford. It was much quicker than if he wasn’t in this aura engulfed state. It seed the more he was attuned to it, the better he could manipulate it. The weapon also seed to change. It had turned a deep black colour with purple edgings. He began slashing away. He wasn’t skilled in swordsmanship, any master would see he was an amateur, but to an untrained eye he was slashing in a near unseeable pace – like the wind.
When he was finished, the ground he practiced on was left with deep slashes across it – 26 in only a few seconds. Of course, he was careful to not hit the mines he had dug in.
"This will truly be sothing that will help." As he complinted himself, he turned and looked to the side to see a large, deep red aura a few ters away from him. This creature did well to make its presence unseen, but its blood lust was all but obvious to Avrin, who had felt it before, as well as the feeling of vengeance. But what caught Avrin's eye was the identical figures slowly appearing from behind the creature – a total of five.
The shape was obvious, the build even more so. It was the lion-like creature Avrin had been hunted by before. He had managed to wound it in the eye, but it seed it went back to get help and return. Avrin was quite worried as he wasn’t sure how it would hold up against these creatures before he knew it as he took up a defensive stance. He noticed another blood lust and turned to his other side. This ti it a foe who ran from him. It was the injured Hecate gorilla, but this ti it seed it had brought its whole group – a total of 15! They hung from the tree branches and made their way closer into view.
"Shit....just when I thought things couldn’t get worse." Avrin decided to conserve his energy and removed the aura from around his body. One might think it was a dangerous move, but instead of letting himself be hunted, he was hoping to make the best use out of his mines. He also didn’t want to have to rely on his augntation ability. This body had potential to be godlike in his mind, so he wanted to work on his own physical prowess.
He gazed at both groups, who eyed him and even eyed each other, as so roared and so screeched trying to claim Avrin as their prey. "Caught between a rock and a hard place...but I’m sure I can manage." He gazed behind himself. He was three ters away from the shelter and nearly surrounded by mines. He grinned before bolting towards his shelter while the roars grew larger and the screeches ca closer. The creatures of this forest had made their move...
