Toro suddenly sat up as he looked around the dark cave in a daze, the pungent smell chasing away what wss left of his sleepiness as he shook his head before he got up and went outside

  He stretched as he enjoyed the cool morning breeze as he watched the sun rise, feeling somewhat at peace only for his stomach to growl snapping him out of his reverie as he walked towards his stash of smoked meat inside the cave

  As he sat down to eat, Toro frowned as he looked at the pile of meat before him, which reached his waist when he stood beside it

  " this is barely enough food for today and tomorrow. I need to find a sustainable source of food. With my current appetite, it's only going to be a matter of time before any edible game on this pnet ceases to exist, which means starve or leave "

  He fell into thought before the smell inside the cave became overwhelming, even to the point of lessening his appetite

  " while I'm at it, I need to build a house " muttered Toro as he quickly finished his breakfast

  ***

  After healing yesterday evening, he found that he was only about 5% injured. After soaking in the healing pool he was back to full health. Good news it also meant that he was now stronger than yesterdays him. Bad news that means that his training will increase

  With a wry smile, he walked towards the gravity room and clicked on the panel to see todays training pn, only to find that everything was the same, reps and sets. Feeling confused, he turned his attention to the panel and found that the gravity in the room was increased too 1.1

  While unsure of what a small increase would matter to his training, he no longer underestimated it. Shaking away the unescessary thoughts. He started todays training...

  Several hours ter, he finally managed to finish, finding that he was in the exact same predicament as yesterday, though he was certain he was stronger. He was certain that it was due to the increase of gravity, that small increase ensured that he still pushed himself to his limit

  After recovering somewhat, he dragged his tired body into the healing pool, not even bothering to remove his clothing, he fell headfirst into the pool

  ***

  After he finished eating he set out to complete the 2 quest he had set for himself . He flew into the air, slowly scanning the surrounding area for prey

  After flying around for a period of time his eyes locked unto a peculiar looking bird. Why was it peculiar?

  Well, that's because it looked something like a turkey. Only it was about 6 feet tall and featherless, he'd have to take another look but he was sure that it had scales. Outside of those changes, it was pratically a normal turkey, even the sound was simir

  With a quick scan, he found that there were about 60 of these alien turkeys. After making a mental note of the area, he turned and flew towards the west towards a rge river he had seen before he noticed the turkeys

  Hovering a few feet above the river, he looked down and found that there were several schools of rge fish swimming around below him. One in particur caught his attention as it bore a striking resembnce to tuna

  " river tuna, what next "

  Turkeys are a bust, they take almost 8 months to reach maturity. Good knows how long these 6 foot tall ones will take. The tunas are even worse, he estimated that on average they are about 1500 to 2000 pounds, so unless they were on steroids, they probably took years to reach this size

  Looking away in frustration, he continued to look for other prey. He found multiple but none made sense to raise as a source of meat

  After failing to find what he was looking for, he returned home, intending to start on his house. Walking up to a rge tree, it was about 20m tall, 4m in diameter, he nodded his head in satisfaction only to realise he had no way of cutting down the tree

  " am I supposed to imitate Steve and punch this shit down? " asked Toro as he scratched his head in frustration before his eyes were drawn to his palms " wait a minute "

  Focusing on his palm, he controlled his Ki to flow into his arm. Not soon after a white aura surronded his arm, extending for a foot with somewhat jagged edges. Walking towards the tree, he swiped his hand at the tree trunk before he jumped back

  Watching in excitement as the tree fell over kicking up a rge amount of dust. It's one thing to read it on a manga page or to watch it on an anime and it's another thing to experience it in person. I mean this is nothing in comparison to turning into Oozaru but he could barely remember that experience

  Walking forward, he looked at the base of the tree and found that the cut was jagged and uneven which made him frown as he looked at his hand. Trying to fine tune the Ki, finding it difficult to further refine it

  " guess I'll add this to my daily training routine.....wait if this worked then.... "

  Toro closed his eyes as he tried to sense the other energy contained within his body, after finding it he tried to focus it on his arm. Opening his eyes, he found that his palm was covered in a red coloured aura, somewhat simir to Kaioken

  It was only projected about 2 inches from his palm, unlike Ki, which made him remember the words on the figure which made his shake his head.

  Concentrating on the energy, he found that it was much calmer than Ki and also easier to control as he made it concentrate on his index, middle and ring finger finally reaching about 6 inches

  Walking towards another tree, he swiped his hand, After the saw dust settled, he looked at the cut, finding the cut was much smoother, while not exactly ft, it was an improvement. The only problem was how shallow it went

  " interesting "

  ***

  Time flew by quickly as his pattern became extremely repetitive. Get up, hunt, eat, then preserve the rest of the meat. Then go train. After scraping himself off the ground and healing, then eating lunch. He used cutting trees to practice his Ki control. When he could get a much smoother cut with Ki, he practiced debarking each tree

  That took him 2 months to succeed in and this was because he meditated after each training session further refining his skills. As his Ki control became more refined, his pratice sessions became easier. He next progression was cutting boards into different types of lumbers

  He started off with 6x6s, then 4x6s, then 3x6s, each drop in size adding another level of difficulty. Quite frankly, sometimes he felt like he was doing a load of bullshit and that he was wasting his time but shook away those thoughts when he saw that his Ki control was increasing after each session

  This training took him about 3 and a half months. Benefit of this being, he could now create multiple 2x2s from a single tree with just several swipes of hand. He felt proud with their uniform size and thickness

  Besides his recent carreer as a carpenter , he made other advances in his training. It only took him 7 months to reach 10x gravity, unlike the estimated 11 months. This is because he decided to train twice a day instead of once. At the cost of futher injury

  So after his his morning calisthenics traing, he did weight lifting in the evening. Under normal gravity of course but with the logs he was using to train it hardly made a difference.

  Bad news, all this extra training, meant a further increase in appetite. Which meant the colpse of the game on this pnet was futher intensified, which shortened his stay on this pnet

  Besides his physical training, he discovered a rather surprsing phenomenom. Well rather than surprsing, it's more that he didn't consider this aspect, though it should have been obvious

  That being, as his body got stronger, he gained more Ki from meditation, from 1 every 3 hours, to 5 every three hours, to the current 15 every three hours. Which meant that his ki training wasn't gging behind like the figure said. So he was curious, did the figure lie? or did they simply not know?

  Regardless, his current blood Ki was 981, with the Ki he gained in the past few days of meditation, he could finally have a powerlevel over 1000. He didn't know if it was coincedental but today marked the 6th year he was reborn in this world, 3rd year on this pnet and the 10th month he had the Omni tower

  Shaking away the sentimental thoughts, he entered the Omni tower and headed right for the gravity room, intending to covert his Ki into Blood Ki, he currenly had 200 Ki, which meant an extra 40 Blood Ki. Only to freeze when he coul no longer convert any after reaching 1000

  Before he could react, he found himself back outside as a panel appeared before him

  { Criteria met }

  { Omni Tower is being upgraded : Duration 24 hours }

  [ Use will be presumed after uprgade is completed ]

  Toro looked at the words on this panel bnkly, only now did he remember that the tower could be upgraded, he just didn't know how. I guess now he did

  " it's tied to my power level? " muttered Toro seemingly forgetting that the figure had told him this when he first got the tower

  Before his gaze sharpened as he suddenly looked towards the sky. While he couldn't sense ki his senses grew as his body got stronger and he could hear explosions coming from the distance

  A few seconds term two ships could be seen entering the atmosphere, the one at the front is what caught his attention

  " a saiyan pod? " muttered Toro was he watched the pod crash nd, leaving a deep trench in the ground. The other ship not far behind it. Slowly rising into the air, he flew over to them, staying in the air as he looked down at what was happening

  The saiyan pod was kicked open as a figure climbed out. The figure had spiky shoulder length hair, with bangs covering her face. The straps that held up her armour had popped, Toro watched as she took it off and used it to wipe blood from her injuries before she threw it to the side, leaving her in only a green body suit as she turned to face the aliens that had gotten off the ship and were walking towards her

  " foolish saiyans, always so cocky, did you really think you could conquer our pnet with a powerlevel of 600? or did you think we were stupid enough too let you turn into the great ape? " said the tall burly alien in the lead, who looked at the saiyan girl in contempt

  His words cause his men to burst into ughter as they walked towards the girl menacingly, surrounding her in the middle

  " big talk coming from cowards who hid their power level from the scouter scope " replied the girl with gritted teeth, her words insighting futher mocking ughter as the boss raised his hand, a Ki bst forming within it as he shot it towards the girl

  A rge cloud of dust was kicked up as the aliens started celebrating their victory over the saiyan, only to freeze as the dust cleared highlighting what had actually happened

  Toro could be seen floating infront of the girl, the armour on his chest completely destroyed, he inspected his chest finding that besides some minor scratches he was completely uninjured. Raising his head in satisfaction he turned his attention to the lead alien before he spoke

  " what's your current power level? "

  " 1156? " replied the alien man subconsciously before he covered his mouth in shock as he looked at Toro warily

  Hearing his word, Toro nodded his head in understanding at having learned more about this path.

  To give an example, several calibber guns can leave a mark on a metal wall but only a few of them can pierce the wall, this is like his body, a powerlevel higher than his can injure him, but the degree of injury is highly dependent on how vast the difference in powerlevel

  " here's the deal, you teach me your ability to hide your powerlevel, I let you get back on your ship and leave. How does that sound? " asked Toro calmly, hearing his words the wariness on the lead aliens face was gradually repced by anger as he shot towards Toro in a rage

  " die you dirty saiyan " roared the alien man as he drew his sword, swiping towards Toros' head, his eyes filled with madness

  " I'll take that as a no " replied Toro as he raised his hand and caught the bde. Before the alien could react, Toro slowly stabbed his arm forward easily piercing his chest before he flicked him away

  He raised his head and looked at the other aliens before he spoke " my offer still stands "

  There was an awkward silence before the other aliens turned around and ran towards the ship, some one them stumbling and falling in their panic. Seeing this, Toro shook his head as his body disappeared

  Screams of terror could be heard as Toro, killed each of them one by one, leaving behind one of them. After knocking him out, he dragged him before the saiyan girl who was watching everythingg in awe. His eyes practically shining as she looked at Toro

  " who are you? " asked Toro as he threw the alien to the side

  " I'm....
