"a new day... i need to make some clothes today"
feeling slightly cold in the morning dew Mars jumped down from the tree and waked towards the lake to wash his face, but he stooped and looked at the other side of the lake
"are those horses? no a horse do not have horns"
on the other side of the lake where a herd of nearly 50 horned horses, Mars knelled down and observed them the biggest of them stood 3 meters tall with 5 pale horns coming out in the middle of its head while the smallest was a little under 1 meter tall with no horns, they all had a ash grey color short fur and pure white eyes, Mars having decided that they where herbivores stood up and waked a little closer to lake before feeling a chill down his spine, looking across the lake the biggest horse had spotted him and where starring him down with its withe eyes
"...are you telling me not to come any closer?
as he had no intentions of hunting down the herd of horned horses as he still had over 5 tons of wolf meat so he stooped waking and looked a the horses that was staring at him, after a few tense minutes of steering the horse perhaps having decided that Mars was no threat to its herd it let down its guard
"...can i come closer now?"
the horses seemingly understanding him let out a nigh of approval and went back to drinking water from the lake, Mars still a little on guard walked to the lake and stated was.h.i.+ng his face and drinking some water while still looking at the heard on the other side of the lake
"it dose not look like they will attack me, unless i come closer or trow magic at them"
Mars having deemed the herd harmless for now walked over to the charred remains of the alpha wolf, lifting open its upper jaw he inspected its teeth before deciding on a corner canine tooth that he quickly grabbed and pulled out
"having a knife would be for the best"
transforming his hand Mars stated to shape the tooth into a knife with his claws, and after an hour of sharpening he looked over his new knife, pure withe and with a approximately 60 centimeter long triangle shaped blade and an 30 centimeter grip it looked more like a bone machete then a tooth knife satisfied with his own work Mars nodded with a slightly proud face while he praised himself
"this will certainly make it easy to disa.s.semble the rest of the wolfs"
Mars walked over to the 2 wolf corpses that still was next to each other and started to skin them before being interrupted by a loud nigh from the other side of the lake, looking up from his work Mars was stunned by what he saw, the leader of the herd was 'walking' up into the air quickly followed by the rest of the herd that also 'walked' up into the air before 'running' away admits the top of the trees, still dazed Mars looked at the diapering herd of horned horses Mars mumbled
"... i guess anything goes in Alfan"
still feeling a little dazed by what he just saw Mars quickly finished disa.s.sembling the remaining 3 wolf corpses with the help of his new knife the skinning process was much smoother, after using his flame to clean the reaming flesh and fat off the pelts Mars was left with 2 somewhat nice looking pelts 1 he had messed up by skinning it with his claws and the pelt of the alpha that was somewhat burned, as the sun was past its highest point he decide to eat some roasted wolf after eating Mars took the messed up pelt and cut approximately 1 centimeter wide line out all the way around the edge of the pelt
"good now to sewing some shorts"
having gained some makes.h.i.+ft thread Mars spent the rest of the day making some makes.h.i.+ft shorts out of wolf pelt, after wearing them he felt much better with himself and looked at the 3 half transparent black beads he had found when he disa.s.sembled the rest if the wolfs, 2 of them looked like the first he had eaten but the one he had removed from the alpha was less transparent and slightly bigger then the others
"...so the stronger the beast the bigger the amount of energy in the bead?"
Mars decided the wait with using the bead from the alpha and was about to eat one of the smaller beads before he remembered that he had 105 units out of 200 units max in his [Energy: storage] cla.s.s skill
"lets experiment with the excess 5 units of energy"
waking up to a random tree Mars snapped of one of the lower branches to use as a test subject
"hmm let go with 3 units of thermal energy to start"
Mars holding the branch with one hand while he covered his eyes and face with the other hand before he activated his [Energy: discharge] cla.s.s skill
"BANG!"
a short bang was heard as the water inside to branch turned to steam and expanded rapidly causing the middle of the branch to explode and splinter where Mars had transferred his energy
"hmm pretty much as i expected"
having confirmed his own theory Mars picked up a rock and held it in his left hand while he extend out his arm towards a tree that was almost 10 meters away
"lets see what 2 units of kinetic energy does"
letting go of the rock and then quickly activating his [Energy: discharge] cla.s.s skill while it still was in contact with his palm, the rock exploded in the general direction of the tree, moving closer to inspect the damage Mars discovered that large fragments of rock was deeply impeded into the targeted tree as well as the surrounding area
"this looks useful as a short range weapon"
satisfied with his experiments Mars ate one of the 3 beads and after he felt like he had absorbed the energy he opened his status to confirm

"level up my cla.s.s"
a second later a warm feeling spreed over his body and Mars felt the acc.u.mulated energy leave his body getting sucked into his soul and after a few second he was sure that his energy capacity had gone up, hesitating for a moment he ate the 2 reaming beads and waited until the energy was absorbed, and then upend his status one more time
