Pain. Alan felt pain when the boar hit his body, but he decided to ignore the pain he was feeling and activated his skill [Root Bind]. Roots left his body and warped around the boar, Alan used [Root Drainage] and started to drain the Boar. The same sensation appears again, that disgusting feeling... Alan this time started to consume everything that the boar had, he didn't know how many times he used the [Root Drainage] skill, but after some minutes he heard a cold and artificial voice saying:

Alan was gasping for air, the pain he felt was gone, but the disgusting feeling still there... After some minutes, Alan stopped gasping and decided to look at his status:

=======================================
'Four levels... Demon Corruption? My stats doubled...' Alan was surprised by what happened with his status, his strength doubled. Literally. Now he had four new skills... The [Pain Resistance] skill is obvious... 'Let's see...'
=======================================
[Skills Explain]
[Root Attack: Uses [SP] to use root to attack, penetrating the enemy.]
[Root Shield: Uses [MP] to change the shape of a root and create a shield to protect yourself.]
[Pain Resistance: Increases your resistance toward pain.]
[Demonic Corruption Resistance: Increased your resistance toward Demon Miasma. This skill is a high version of the [Demon Energy Resistance], making you immune toward low-level demons.]
=======================================
'Demons? Like the boar?' Thought Alan while looking at the screen that was showing his status. Alan was happy that he survived the boar... Alan was mentally tired, so he lied down beside his tree body and felt the same warm energy that he felt before... His feet transformed into roots and they entered on the ground beside his tree body... Alan then slept there. When he woke up again it was already the next morning, Alan opened his eyes and the first thing he saw an animal beside him... Not only one, it several animals beside him! Tiny bunnies, rats, some kind of puppies of a fox... Wolves, and some birds on his head. Alan had several branches leaving his body, where the birds created their nest. Alan didn't know what had happened but... Everything was different from before. His surroundings were different, his body was different... Everything was different!
Suddenly, Alan felt a headache followed by several notifications of the system:

[(...)]
=======================================
After some hours of a severe headache, Alan finally could breathe a sigh of relief. He read some of the notifications and he was stunned. Everything was stunning! First things first. He looked at the notifications reading everything that happened while he was 'sleeping'... He had so many questions to ask... Why are those animals around him, what happened with him, why did he slept for 125 years!!! And... His status... Not now. First Alan tried to move his body, it seems like he was in the same place he was when he lied to take a nap... When he moved his body, all the animals that were around him woke up and started to look at him like a human would look to a God. Like... Like they were worshiping him for some reason. Alan sat down and looked at several animals, cute animals like a rabbit and dangerous animals like lions, wolves, and foxes... Every kind of animal was near him. Alan was trying to absorb what just happened to him... He wanted to take a nap and... He slept for 125 years!!! 125 fucking years!
Alan walked around, the animals followed, Alan sat down, the animals sat down. Alan started to dance, the animals watched him with confused expressions, Alan sighed and lied down, the animals lied down too. Alan then decided to look at his status and see what happened to it... And he shouted: "What!!!!!!! What the fuck!?"
juuuuust hoooow much luck he had to not turn into furniture or fuel in these times with all the sh*t going on ... ?!
On the other hand playing devil's advocate even in world with deamons and deamon Lords remote forests stay the same especially if they don't attract attention to themselves...
Laying low can spare you a lot of unnecessary trouble take it from me.
I never understood people who like to show off their wealth or status etc I like to pretend to be your average boring neighbours so you will ignore me.
The only ones that need to know are the people I want to know and nobody else.
This feels so off, he just slept and gained a blessing... i can somewhat understand the xp, but why did he gain so much for so little?
why [did he slept] for 125 years!!!
Did he sleep or had he slept?
Why you need the mc... let the system autopilot for all the eternity... It's doing better job.
All those things sistem learned and maxed...
Personally I think you skipped to far ahead and too soon. There was too little in the story before the time skip to really introduce the world, or at least the land around the mc, and his mindset during it all. I feel like you just wanted him to get strong fast so you made him sleep instantly for that long and he survived because of luck.
Every 20 years? Now that's an active world, probably young and still a bit unstable and therefore the mana and other energies fluctuates at a chaotic speed and pattern.
And during his nap he even got a blessing, im looking forward to his new stats but at the same time i hope that he wont fall asleep again like that. ^^"
(What happened to his tree?)
Thank you for the chapter and the treat. (^_^)/
nice.
