Ren’s body quickly moved through the grass field.

His body flashed through the fields.

He needed to hunt more ants.

‘Sleep… I want to sleep…’

He could feel the weariness continue to grow inside of him.

He had reached the maximum bioenergy possible for his level.

When all Pokémon reached this stage, they would be filled with a strong desire to rest and undergo evolution.

This biological reaction prevented Pokémon from consuming more bioenergy that the limit and killing themselves.

Now Ren wanted to go against this biological process.

He wanted to break the logic of the world!

‘I have to stop this feeling.’

Urgency filled him.

He would not be able to hunt ants while feeling tired.

Ren manifested a small needle of red aura.

It was small, about one cm long. Its surface glistened under the sun.

His [Spirit Manipulation], that he had trained for the last two days allowed him to control to aura to a greater degree, allowing him to make finer materials.

‘Fuck… this is going to hurt…’

The needle swung down.

He stabbed the needle of aura into his side.

It was the only solution to his problem that he could think of. The pain would allow him to keep his mind sharp and aware.

That was what he needed to continue to hunt.

‘I need to find another ant…’

Ren used acceleration to shoot up and peer over the tall grass.

‘Another ant…’

More than 20 meters to his left, he could see a disturbance in the grass.

‘Death is coming for you ant...’

Ren slithered in the direction of the ant.

Upon confirming the position of the ant, Ren once again attacked.

Pure aura congealed into a lance and the lance pierced into the head of the ant. He used the same strategy, pushing forward with the lance striking the eye of the ant with a small dagger and then finishing of the ant while it was distracted.

Easy and simple.

‘Even in this world, it seems that Ants are just destined to be stomped on.’ Ren mused.

He stared at the corpse of the dead ant lying in a puddle of blood.

He gulped.

This was it.

He was going to overload his body.

He could still feel the clear and distinct pain of the needle in his side, keeping the weariness away.

Soon the weariness disappear and the pain would once again appear.

‘I have to do it.’ Ren thought resolutely.

With determination, Ren began to consume the corpse of the Durant.

[Ding! Host has gained one bioenergy. Host has grown longer!]

The message of the system rang out.

Almost immediately, the sharp pain of thin, hot needles struck his body.

His body once again began to rapidly heat up.

Ren was prepared.

[Evolution Suppressor]

Ren activated his skill.

Almost immediately, a red barrier began to formulate around his stomach.

The heat disappeared… yet the pain continued as strong as ever.

‘Endure it… Ren.’ Ren pumped himself up.

Spirit madly circulated around his body. His [Spirit Manipulation] skill continued to grow.

 

Ren slowly exhaled.

He had grown form 51 centimeters to 52 centimeters.

The first step was done. He had once again suppressed his evolution!

Of course, this was not the end.

Ren was not satisfied with one mere centimeter. He wanted more.

He wanted to grow longer!

 

‘This fucking pain though…’

Although he was able to avoid death, the pain continued.

The violent bioenergy in his stomach continued to push against the barrier that he had put up, sending tremors throughout his body.

His internal organs shook, sending pain coursing through his body.

He started moving again, gritting his fangs against the pain.

‘This is the price for strength…’ Ren thought, willing his body forward.

He had to hunt more!

 

***

Ren stood on top of the corpse of another ant.

It was the decisive moment.

He was going to gain another bioenergy point. What would it do to his body?

Ren controlled his spirit carefully, shaping it and forming another barrier on top of the barrier that already surrounded his stomach.

Like the barrier underneath, this was not a still barrier.

It was fluid!

‘It is now or never…’

Ren slowly consumed the corpse of the Durant.

He created small holes in his barriers, allowing the corpse to enter his stomach.

[Ding! Host has gained one bioenergy. Host has grown longer!]

Ren felt his body expanding, growing by another centimeter.

The bioenergy erupted!

It crashed with increased ferocity against the barrier that he had put up.

*Bang* *Bang*

The tremors running through his body increased in magnitude.

The pain magnified as his internal organs and muscles continued to shake.

‘Fuck.’ Ren groaned.

Not only was he in immense pain but his barrier… the barrier that kept him alive was coming undone!

It was unravelling under the continuous knocking of the energy.

He channeled more energy into [Evolution Suppressor].

Energy was consumed at a rapid pace.

The barrier mended itself but it expended vast amounts of energy to sustain.

‘At this rate… I can only survive for a few more minutes.’

He had predicted that ingesting another bioenergy point would put strain on his body but this much?

Ren cursed whomever or whatever reincarnated him in this world again.

Why did nothing ever go his way?

He began to panic.

Death.

He could see it. He would feel it and taste it.

It surrounded him in its thick veil of darkness.

He was going to die.

Although he had faced the proposition of death many times, it still filled him dread.

‘No!’

Ren shook away his despair. He would despair when there was nothing else he could do.

He had prepared for this.

He had improved his [spirit manipulation], he had trained his body and his mind. He had ensured that he was as prepared as he could be.

Ren logically considered the problem.

The problem was that his barrier was using up too much energy to sustain.

Ren had considered this possibility before.

The answer was simple. Improve his barrier.

Improve his skill [Evolution suppressor].

Ideas flashed through his head. Knowledge from his past life appeared in his head.

‘What do I need… what do I want…’ He questioned himself.

A single image appeared in his head.

‘The source of all things…’

Ren manipulated his spirit carefully.

‘Threads… I have to form threads.’

Ren began to shape his spirit into thread, thin thread.

His full concentration was placed on his spirit.

‘You can do this… you can do this…’ Ren motivated himself.

His improved [Spirit Manipulation] gave him greater control, allowing him to diversify his usage of energy.

Slowly a structure began to take shape.

A ball of threads interweaving across one another.

His mental energy was used to its very limit.

Ren shook in agony.

The pain was only getting worse as time went by. His body was heating up.

Ren wished for it.

Determination shined through his eyes.

Unparalleled strength.

That was why he was willing to take such large risks.

His spirit surged.

The threads inside of the ball of threads began to move.

Each thread moved in a different direction.

‘Just like an atom…’

Almost instantly his spirit consumption dropped. The pain alleviated slightly.

He had survived!

Ren modelled his newest barrier after the atom.

The stomach was like the nucleus and the threads were the shells that surrounded the nucleus.

Ren breathed out in relief.

His heart was pumping.

He had survived!

[Ding! ‘Evolution suppressor’ has reaches 100 percent. Prerequisites have been met. ‘Evolution suppressor’ evolved into ‘limit breaker’]

[Spirit increases! Skill ‘spirit manipulation’ increases in skill percentage]

[Your flesh has been refined! Defense, Power and Agility Increase.]

A flurry of messages went off in his head.
