Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 619

Chapter 619 Bottle Neck

During these two weeks, Atticus had been training and absorbing mana nonstop. His entire routine was simple and straightforward.

Absorb mana, eat, and keep on absorbing mana again until he needed to recover his energy. This was all Atticus did. The only time he ventured out of this routine was when his body begged him to sleep.

Staying awake and in place for days took its toll on his mind, and Atticus had no other choice but to rest a bit. Afterward, he would continue absorbing mana once more.

Atticus' eyes flickered open from his meditating position.

'I've reached the bottleneck,'

This was what he had been chasing all week long. This bottleneck was a level one would have to overcome in order to advance through a major rank.

'Now I just need to overload my body,'

His mana core was already filled to the brim with mana, but Atticus had to hold it in and stop it from evolving. His body wouldn't be able to handle the abrupt change.

To cross over a bottleneck wasn't too hard. All Atticus had to do was overload his body with mana. However, he wouldn't be absorbing mana into his core this time around. This time Atticus would have to absorb and layer it on his body until his body evolved to an extent where it was okay to evolve his mana core.

The only issue with this was that it would take a significant amount of energy depending on the rank he was evolving to, along with time to gather mana in his body. Considering the fact that it was the master rank, everything would end up being a lot.

'I should get food first before I start,'

Atticus stood up and sent a glance at the piles upon piles of meatless bones on one side of the platform.

At this point, it was shocking that Atticus hadn't gotten chubby.

After stretching, Atticus made his way outside the cavern and on top of the tree after a few seconds.

This had been his routine all week. He would simply wait for prey to come before attacking.

Many might call him cowardly, but Atticus didn't care. He was mainly focused on advancing his rank. Even if this was all he gained in the two months he would spend in the chasm, it would be very fine by him.

Atticus hid himself in the tree and waited. However, despite waiting for a few hours, nothing came.

'Shit, it can't be that I ran out of my luck already, right?'

Atticus had a terrible feeling about this.

Regardless, he decided to wait for some more time. But it was all for naught as Atticus waited for hours more, and no single beast showed up.

'Something happened in the span of two days,'

The last time he hunted had been two days ago, and he hadn't faced any challenges then.

'Let's observe some more,'

Atticus manipulated the air molecules and made himself fly down the river path. He felt he was missing something.
