There was still a pile of mana stones in front of Han-Yeol, and he immediately grabbed and absorbed them one by one. When he absorbed the fifth mana stone, a message suddenly popped up.

Ding!

[You have obtained enough mana from external sources.]

[Your MAG stat has risen by 1.]

‘Huh?’ Han-Yeol muttered inwardly in confusion when he read the message that appeared in front of him. He absorbed the mana stones because he wanted to increase his Mana Absorption skill level, but he never expected his MAG stat to increase as well. ‘So this is how it works?’ 

Han-Yeol’s passive skill, Body Strengthening, increased his STR, AGI, and VIT stats whenever he trained his physical body. This meant that he could increase his MAG stat whenever he absorbed mana from external sources.

‘Jackpot…’ Han-Yeol thought with a smile. He wondered if this was how the researcher who developed Viagra had felt when he had accidentally stumbled upon it while trying to develop a drug for heart diseases. His heart beat faster as the ecstasy of his newfound jackpot only pumped his adrenaline further.

Then, after absorbing five more mana stones…

Ding! Ding! 

[You have obtained enough mana from external sources.]

[Your MAG stat has risen by 1.]

[The rank of ‘Mana Absorption’ has increased from (F) to (E).]

Han-Yeol’s MAG stat increased by one and his Mana Absorption skill level ranked up after he absorbed the tenth mana stone.

‘Status window,’ Han-Yeol called up his status window.
