In one of the most dangerous forest on earth, a certain man could be seen smoking meat.
Although they are dangers at almost every corner of .... Forest as of late, with every animal in this wild more stronger or agile than average humans, he did not have the slightest of worry because he is not average human.
After the meat has been smoked to perfection, he finally served himself some— of course he did not have any plate which he can serve himself on, so he make part of the ether on his body turn to some plate with a fork and also, a knife, just the essentials needed to serve himself to dinner.
With the plate, fork and knife assumed by the ether majority of his cloth is now gone, only his trouser remains.
Even with his shirt gone, he did not as much as flinch from the cold that is now trying to settle on him, he did not as much as recognize them, for the cold is not enough to make him flinch.
Without further ado, he dived into the food after properly sitting.
...
Sometimes later, after he have finish feasting on the meat and replenishing his much needed needed energy.
He turned the ether back into a shirt, then sat down, taking the lotus stance, he began to cultivate again.
"Solaris?" The man called out right before he started meditating.
<
"How much of your functions have you recovered as of late?"
<
"Even after i became an initiate?" Nil asked.
When a cultivator starts forming their mana core, the period between when they are forming that core and forming it is called the initiate stage.
<
"Is that so." He mused
<
"Okay then, and be conversing with me more often, okay. You are being too silent in there, furthermore you are alone hasn't it been boring for you?" Nil asked as he could feel a spark of loneliness from Solaris.
<
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Still, try conversing more." Nil said as he can practically feel the conviction in Solaris voice.
Then he finally slipped into meditating.
Just as the process went before, he is moving the Nothing particles then dumping them on his heart before absorbing them into his cells.
That is all he did throughout the night before he finally broke that cycle in the morning to practice.
And although the peactice won't benefit him since he is alredy at the peak of muscle refinement, that did not deter him to stop as he is only doing it for the sake of drilling it more into his muscle memory as to not forget the experience.
He could be seen doing the training, sometimes holding a weird stance that did not even look like training at all, but rather a comic character performing stance just to make kids laugh.
However, Nil knows himself that the stance he is taking are productive, so he kept on and after exhausting himself he then went to a nearby tree.
Tapping on the tree lightly, he readied himself after confirming that that is the size he will be needing.
Without further ado he summoned his sword, then cut the tree right from it's base, and with somewhat of a thud the tree fell on the ground, the birds living on it scurrying away with rushed flaps of their wing.
After he cutted the tree, he recalled the ether, then he bend down and carried the tree, or so he thought, but he couldn't lift it as easy as he should have.
"Am i growing rusty that i couldn't even have considered the water this guy has on it?" He knew he could only carry a tree worth around 200kg at best, so he have calculated the tree that he can carry, that is why he fell this tree before.
However, he would have never thought rain just fell a day before he came to earth in this area of the forest, which means the tree have been soaked in water which will make it more heavier than it should have been.
"More heavier than i expected or not, i am not someone that backs down at little challenges."
Justin declared as he proceeded to raise the tree while planting his leg firmly on the floor, his arm locking on the tree with intent.
*Rustle*
*Rustle*
The leaves of the tree kept rustling as he raised it right above his head, then with heavy strides he headed out and started jogging with the whole tree mounted on him.
Yes, he only wanted to use the tree as something that will restrict him while he is jogging, and although he could have just find a rock, big and heavy enough for him to use as a restrictor, but he couldn't find one the day before while he was mapping out the whole sorrounding that is why he had to fell the tree.
All said and done, Nil could be seen, collapsed on the floor running for over a kilometer with the tree on him.
He has been going round the place he chose as his meditation spot in a lapse of 100 meter per round and he collapsed roughly almost before he could finish the 12th lap.
Now, here we are, with Nil laying sprawn on the floor with the tree beside him while some of the tree branch has snapped after being hitting the ground.

"Ah, my existence being overloaded, i almost forgot that." Nil mused not at the least worried that if it did continue, imploding on himself will be the least of his worries.
Existential overload, is the period when a cultivator existence have outgrew their body and soul, and in this case when a being existence is overloading it will end up devouring that person soul before seeping into that person body to devour it then their spirit will also be snuffed out.
<
"I should breakthrough before 20 days then." Nil affirmed, setting a goal for himself
