Chapter IV : New Training Methods, Fire Mage, and Today was a Good Day
"I've been going about this all wrong!" I exclaimed out loud while meditating in the darkest parts of the cave. I ran out of the cave and went straight to the training ground I made not too long ago that was also not too far away from my hunting grounds.
'Rest In Peace Little Dino.' I reminisced in the past.
I walked up to the wooden post with a fire in my eyes, probably literally, considering how I was good at using my fire magic now.
"I'm not getting stronger because I'm not doing 'real' strength training. I need to do the most extreme strength work out that will ever be created."
Two functional characters popped up in my mind as I thought of this gruesome training regime.
'Rock Lee and Saitama.'
This workout would be legendary. I could become the strongest man to ever live.
'I'm just going on a run in this new life. I've made so many world records by now.'
The new workout would consist of 500 push-ups, 500 sit-ups, 500 squats, then right after that I have to do 10,000 laps around the island, on the water.
And when I'm done with the laps, I have to come back to this post and do 500 separate punches on each hand as well as with my legs. Finally, when I finish punching and kicking, I have to do another 10,000 laps.
'Yes, this workout shall be legendary!' A crazed smile plastered on my face.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
Holy shit. That workout is insane.
It took me 4 hours to do that whole workout.
It took two hours for me to complete each half of the workout and I can barely move right now. It was already night by the time I was done and I've been laying in this open field for hours, exhausted. 'Come on, get up you bastard.'
I slowly got up and looked around. Damn, it's dark, I might have a bit of trouble finding my way back, but I know I can do it.
I lit a fire on both of my hands that couldn't burn anything and began to run around, looking for my cave that I redesigned the interior of a little bit in the last month.
When I run with a fire in either or both of my hands, it looks cool behind me. My blue lightning mixing and merging with the red fire occasionally make purple sparks of fire and lightning occur throughout my trail.
I was just about to make it to the cave when I saw something glowing in the water close by. 'What is that?' I ran on the water towards whatever that glow was and swam down to get it. As soon as I touched, I felt a huge power boost. A kind of power that I haven't felt since i reincarnated.
I quickly grabbed the stone and ran back to my cave and began to examine this stone.
'It's definitely not an infinity stone.. System, use Scan.'
[The Ka Stone
-The Ka Stone was originally a fragment of the Lifestone Tree, a collaboration of various alien species. Many of the fragments ended up on Earth, after the space ship transporting them was shot down thousands of years ago.
-In another Universe, around 5,000 years ago, the Ka Stone was found by Anath-Na Mut in the temple of the Ka. He had wandered in the desert for 90 years after his defeat at the hands of Moses and being expelled from his duties as chief wizard to Ramses II. The Ka Stone empowered Anath-Na Mut and turned him into the Sphinx. As the Sphinx he became an immortal, with godlike power, but he eventually grew weary of immortality and sought a way to end his life. He destroyed the stone but the fragments somehow made their way to different worlds in another universe, one of those worlds being this one.
-The Stone allows one to obtain superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. As well as flight, energy manipulation, telepathy, immortality, and reality warping. The only cost is that the user would have to become a Sphinx.]
'Okay, wow, I don't even know what to say.' I was at a loss for words at how powerful this stone was. The obvious thing I need to do is to absorb the energy from this stone to obtain its power, the problem is that I don't exactly know what being a Sphinx would do to me.' I pondered about the pros and the cons of me absorbing the energy.
'Honestly, the risk is worth it.' I ran back out of the cave and to the open plain I was at before when I activated my magic affinity, not feeling any of the previous exhaustion from my workout.
When I arrived, I noticed the syringe that had the Little Dino's blood in it on the ground. I picked it up and held it in my hand.
"I didn't even know I dropped this, I'm glad this isn't going to the wrong hands."
*SCREEECH*
A bird swooped down and took the syringe out of my hand before flying over the ocean into the horizon.
"…"
There is no fucking way that just happened. I don't believe it. You know what, I've got better things to do then stress about this Looney Toons bullshit that just occurred.
I stood in the middle of the plain and focused on absorbing the energy from the stone. It took a second or two, but I started feeling it's power leaving the stone and entering my core. Not only could I feel the energy, I could see it!
There were multiple streams of red energy leaving the stone and going up my arm before doing the same across the rest of my body. It felt amazing. Almost as euphoric and amazing as running. After absorbing the energy I felt godlike.
I felt stronger, smarter, and better. Better than anyone that's ever existed. But sadly, I knew that was far from the truth. My fire magic got much stronger too. As if the two energy's merged. I also felt changes in my body. Not in like a Feline Sphinx kind of way, well kinda like that, but I also feel taller and more powerful mentally.
I wanted to see how absorbing this stone affected my Status before I tested out its powers.
'System, go to status.'

'I got two new occupations, I got taller, heavier, faster, new kind of magic, some new abilities, and a Sphinx Transformation? What can I say? Today was a good day.' I thought with a smirk.
!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
"Ha!" A boy threw a punch at his Uncle, who easily sidestepped and grabbed his arm. Throwing him over his shoulder.
*THUMP!*
The boy hit the ground with a loud thump before getting up immediately and getting back to fighting in close quarters.
He started throwing a barrage of kicks and punches towards his Uncle, aiming for his vital organs.
His uncle had no difficulty dodging all of them at all. Suddenly, his uncle starting going on the offensive, throwing punch after punch at his nephew with rapid speed.
The only thing his nephew could do was hold up his hands and dodge every now and then, his arms bruised from the endless punches. His uncle then grabbed his arm, pulled it down and then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying into a wall.
The boy got up instantly and quickly put his hands in front of him. He moved his hands in a specific motion and a thin line of orange mystic energy appeared in front of him.
He turned it into an arrow and he threw it straight towards his uncle.
He was about to dodge it, but in mid air, the arrow duplicated into a few dozen. His uncle, in a similar motion, put his hands in front of him, but instead of an orange line of mystic energy, he opened a portal in front of him that led to another portal that he formed behind the boy.
The boy quickly turned around and formed a mystic energy shield to block the arrows coming his way. A few of them grazed him while the others his the shield.
Before he could make another move, he felt a pointy and cold feeling on the back of his neck.
"You need to work on your Mystic Arts and combat proficiency before you can become the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto. You still have many years till then to train though."
"Yes uncle. Have you found any news about this preexisting human?" The boy asked his cold uncle.
"No, which is why tomorrow, you will be making a visit to this human and his little island. This will be a testament to your strength. Bring back the human for questioning, or I will train him to be the next Sorcerer Supreme from now on and you will go back with your mother."
"Yes uncle. I will bring back the human."
