David carried a bag full of charcoal towards the crude forge.

Without bellows to help him heat the forge, David had to devote a lot of energy so he can keep the heat at a high and optimal level.

David continued this task for hours on end.

    Bob’s back felt a bit painful.Once the adrenaline wore off, Bob felt the consequences of being sent flying to a solid cave wall. He actually felt confused as to why he was suffering so much pain. Whenever David was sent flying, Bob noticed that his friend continued to move as if there was no pain at all.Even when David suffered an injury, he could quickly recover, something that baffled Bob whenever he saw it. This was due to David's current stage in the superhuman evolution tiers. Unfortunately, that was a very complex topic that David couldn't easily explain to Bob.Was David immune to pain or was he just resistant to it? That was Bob’s question.Not able to understand how David ignored such high lev

  • Evolve to Survive   Chapter 40.9: Psionic Abilities Part 1

    The ability to manipulate psionic energy allows the user to be able to do anything. This is not a metaphor or figure of speech. Someone with enough control and psionic power can warp reality to fit their needs, no matter how crazy their desires are. The greatest example is God/Goddess who theoretically has an infinite amount of control and psionic power thus granting him/her omnipotence. While the entity, called the voice, is powerful, there is no way to properly quantify its psionic ability or if it even uses such a resource. If we assume that the voice is powerful enough to prevent God/Goddess from banishing it from the universe which contradicts God/Goddess' omnipotence, then that means the voice is eithe

    When the invasion started, the voice empowered its most loyal servants with unimaginable power that would allow them to dominate all life on Earth. These entities were called conduits, humans with a direct connection to the omnipresent voice. But the chosen were limited both in numbers and strength. The voice wanted new creatures to follow its bidding to quicken the invasion so it gave the conduits the ability to turn the creatures of Earth into monsters that followed their every whim. The conduits used this newfound power to create monsters that followed their will, ranging from petty human desires to causing genocide. Currently, a ma

This didn't mean that David had wrong ideas, it's just that the log already had a repository of base information for almost anything. It didn't have information on things that evolved unless David observes the creature for a long period of time or experienced the evolution first-hand. While David logged in an enormous amount of information, these are some of them.
