Isekaied Into An Eroge, Time To Have Fun!-Chapter 37: First Night (3)

Part of the reason that I wanted to do something this simple was due to how I could potentially map out how I could boost my stats in a reliable, constant way; they would be slowly boosted because that was how this worked, but if I could find a number that provided consistent increases then that would be very helpful long term.

The only issue was me being a somewhat out of shape woman in my past life, which translated over here practically one to one... so when I lowered myself to the ground and tried to do a pushup I immediately grimaced.

I was so pathetically weak, but everyone had to start somewhere right..?

Besides, I had barely had the money to keep myself alive with the paltry amount of food I consumed - mainly because I bought so many coffees and energy drinks to fuel my late night fun - so the fact that I could pull off five in a row was astounding to me.

There were a few issues I encountered upon attempting to do pushups; the reminder that my breasts were slightly large so having to deal with extra weight was a bit... much, but now I was also dealing with the addition of a penis alongside some testicles, which were sensitive after everything that had happened.

Probably not a good idea to ejaculate multiple times and then try to do physical activity when I was already out of shape, but I needed to persevere and start improving... but less was more, right?

So if I could only do five then I should stop for now and move on to the next thing, which were sit ups; those were a little easier for me and I was able to knock out ten ’solid’ ones before I needed a break from that too.

By now I had somehow gotten a sheen of sweat over myself, which only made me embarrassed but also more determined to get into shape since... well, I mean, this was really pathetic; using that shame as a motivator was somewhat easy though since I just berated myself and tried to do five pushups again.

They weren’t as clean nor as easy as they had been before, but progress was progress and I think I could do another five in a minute or so; the sit ups remained ’easy’ comparatively so I did my ten before deciding to break this up even more.

Totally not because I was already aching and felt like I needed a real break just to recuperate from that, I promise... mediation was just that good for you, and I needed to improve my magic anyways!

That was why I was so quick to sit crosslegged and close my eyes, tuning out my bodily aches and focusing instead on this exciting new thing flowing through my veins; humming alongside the teensy amount of adrenaline was my mana, and... now I realized I had no real idea how this worked..?

With all of the Beginner Series items hanging around my neck - I slipped the Moss Pearl Medallion and Ring Of Petty Origin onto the same chain that had the Lost Cardinal’s Pendant - and took the Focus out of my inventory as well just in case.

With four separate items boosting me I was somewhat conflicted on whether this was ’cheating’ or not, but as I took another deep breath and just cleared my mind I made the decision to just not care.

Focusing on myself and feeling the mana inside of my veins, I just followed it and ’watched’ as it went throughout my body, getting accustomed to the feeling it brought with it and slowly realizing that the more I felt it inside of myself, the more I could feel it around me too.

There was something in the air that was kissing my sweaty skin, causing me to tingle like I was getting some goosebumps despite the air being nice and cozy while I had no illness that I was aware of...

It was a good tingle too, one that felt comforting and rejuvenating; it felt like my body was breathing, like I was absorbing something in the air and replenishing something inside of myself... which I guess I was.

Mana in the air was just ’inert’, waiting to be taken control of and used for something, while mana inside of the body was dormant; the difference was fairly obvious since the only ’bad’ that the mana in the atmosphere could do was just be too scarce or plentiful, which I suppose mimicked oxygen.

Because I had a freshly awoken Core I probably didn’t have a lot of mana inside of it waiting to be used, and although you naturally bring more into yourself just by existing you need to go out of your way to replenish what was lost, or in this case just filling up for the first time.

Feeling it firsthand and reading about it was so vastly different that I took a few moments to realize what was happening, but by that point my Core was already greedily slurping up the mana around me so that it could finally be sufficiently filled.

Doing so flooded me with energy of all sorts, causing that earlier tingling to spread and get ’worse’ as I felt like my entire body was ’asleep’; it was incredibly sensitive and just trying to move sent shocks throughout that group of muscles, making me cringe and writhe around in ’pain’. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

For a few moments it was like that before it faded away into a nice, enjoyable warmth that had me feeling far more awake than I had all day; like taking a nice shot of espresso right after you woke up I was jolted into this blissful state that I could definitely get addicted to...

Similarly another part of me was jolted ’awake’, which had me groaning as I ’lamented’ over this new tribulation that I was going to have to deal with... in other words, I just simply had to drop a hand down to my throbbing cock and start masturbating again.

The sudden mana high was just making me do this, I swear..!
