[Day 79]

Today in the morning Fuyu finally began to cross through the mountain range, as we called Frost and the rest of the pack to come back to the fortress because I didn't want them to cross through such a giant peak by themselves.

We had a big stockpile of frozen meat, root salt, fruits, and more, so we were good for several days, and in the way, we hunted down more giant Crows, while I tamed two of them… I could have tamed more, but as of now, with the pack of wolves I got, I don't want more mouths to feed until I can find a way for self-sustainability.

I easily caught the crows by entangling them with Ice Threads and then suppressing their wills with my fear-inducing aura, until they almost died of horror… Maybe I was a bit too rough, but that's how it works for me.

I decided to name them after Odin's crows, the female was named Huginn and the male Muninn, and their stats were almost identical, their appearances were also almost the same, so I hope they don't mind whenever we get their names mixed up…

…

Oh yeah, I also gave them my blood so they could get the Abilities that everyone gets when they drink it, this way, these two ended becoming rather decently strong, and they were Rank 1 Peak Stage as well, pretty impressive.

Benladann played around with them while giving them tiny chunks of meat to incentivize them, at the end, they were fascinated with her and even did pirouettes and other acrobatics just to amuse her so she could give them more meat… I am glad she likes them I guess.

The crows seemed to be the cool type of guys, they were calm and glared at Yuki and Frost with a dead stare from above… I was thankful that they were all tamed because I was sure they would fight or something if they were not companions.

We haven't encountered slimes lately, so I don't know what's up with that… Maybe they came from somewhere and we already got past that spawn point? It did say they have summoned monsters, so maybe there was some insane reincarnated dude summoning them around.

Well, I couldn't care less about that guy, I would gladly and slowly reach the top while peacefully traveling the world with Benladann, so I don't want any troubles if possible.

Yeah, I know it would be interesting to eat him and see if I could get some Unique Skills… but I like to prioritize our safety, if a reincarnated person with cheats is just as insanely overpowered as us, then even as strong as I am, I might end up risking my life and that of Benladann if we were to simply fight him because we wanted to see how he tasted like.

Unless I am really furious or something, I don't think I would jump towards a strong enemy willingly…

Anyways, we spent most of the day cultivating Mana or exercising, and also slacking off and taking naps.

Benladann is enjoying our trip, and she's getting happier every day, so I am glad she seems to have undergone a full recovery after all she went through…

After we cross the mountain range, we might reach her village pretty soon, as she said it was right below these mountains.

Hopefully, everything is okay there.

[Day 80]

Day 80, I might be about to reach three months of living in this world, and I am fairly strong after such a short amount of time! I might have started weak, but I got pretty strong rather quickly, so I guess it was a fair exchange.

Although I would had liked it if I were born stronger, but maybe it would have been fairly boring to just be born overpowered and just stomp everything… where would the thrill be?

Anyways, as I quickly forget my humble beginnings by eating sweet jelly in the morning, I feel a sudden burst of mana rushing around the fortress.

I quickly glance at the second floor where Benladann was still inside of her room, as she quickly calls to me…

"Draaaake!"

"Ben? What's going on?"

I quickly rush upstairs and open the door, finding her… a bit taller, I think around ten centimeters taller, she had also changed a bit, as she gained blue tattoos across her arms, which seemed to be infused with muscle-strengthening runes.

And damn, she got beautiful… even more than before.

Her silvery-white hair now reached below her hips and her hips also got wider and sexier, and her breasts… a bit bigger too…

What? I am just inspecting her! I am not a degenerate.

She also seemingly gained… a little horn in her forehead, it was too small to notice it well at the naked eye, but it seemed to be made of ice.

Her yellow-gold eyes became even shinier, and her features more beautiful… It wouldn't be a bad thing to call her a jade beauty now… Well, more like an ice beauty.

"D-Drake, this is weird… my body changed a bit after I reached Rank 2!" she said.

"Wait, Rank 2?!"

It seems that Benladann reached Rank 2 today as she was practicing the use of mana, almost naturally… Just like a genius!

Merely reaching Rank 2 just by practicing mana… she's really those typical Xianxia geniuses of cultivation whose cultivation realms were crossed by merely existing!

Well, not really, she trained hard to get here, so it is fairly well-deserved.

"You evolved… like monsters?" I asked.

"Yeah, I don't know why… I don't think ice giants evolve…" said Benladann.

Wait, could it be… because she drank my blood?!
