---
You have bought two new perks: Large Lake, Fast Learner I
MP: 420/420 => 630/630 (Intx15)
All Skills will now grow 10% faster

I felt it in my veins, a previously absent amount of mana getting absorbed by the air around me to fill my body, my mana pool was the size of a small lake, and now it felt like a sea, something you know has a limit but you have no way to perceive it, I felt my muscles get revitalized by the abundance of Nature mana, my perception getting sharper thanks to Dimension Mana, my mind already sharper thanks to my element-less mana.
Taking a big breath of air I close the window just in time to see the little girl finishing the pancakes.
'Wait, I still don't know her name, I am an idiot.'
" Io sono Adrian, come ti chiami tu?" (I am Adrian, what's your name?)
She only realized that she had finished her pancakes. A bit sad, she turned towards me and told me her name.
" Mary." Though she still spoke softly, she seemed a bit less distant when talking to me, the presence of Obsidian on her lap seemed to calm her down.
I nodded and was surprised to notice a notification I hadn't realized had appeared while she was sleeping and I was meditating.

You have become a paternal figure for someone.
Relationship
Mary: Father 100/100
New Park:
Papa Bear
No matter what happens, no matter what you will have to do, and no matter what remains of you after you are done, you will push yourself past any limits to protect your family, no matter what.
Effect: When someone considered part of your family (also counts familiars) is under attack, in danger, or requires help, all your stats/skills/perks will be 50% more effective.
This perk was created by The Gamer's resolve to protect Mary and those he deems worthy.

So I had created a perk, just out of pure willpower and rage, I had taken control over my powers to make it so I would be able to protect my family, cool.
" Ti va bene se ti lascio col nonno?"( Is it ok if I leave you with Grandfather?)
" Chi?" (Who?) She seemed to panic at the idea of having to stay with someone else.
" Il vecchio barbuto che era accanto a me quando siete arrivati." (The beared old man that was next to me when you arrived.)
"...Ok." Though she had said that, her face showed anything but happiness, my heart ached seeing it.
" Se ti lasciassi Obisdian e Ivy per il resto del giorno saresti un pò più felice?"
She nodded instantly quite a lot of strength, I was worried she might fall from the chair from how fast she moved her head.
I smiled and made Ivy turn into a little Pony to help Mary move around, even creating a chair just for her made out of wood, Obsidian was on top of the chair looking around like a guard, ready to attack anyone who had ill intentions against Mary.
Seeing the scene made me smile, it looked like a princess out of a fantasy movie.
" Principessa, ci vediamo stasera." (Princess, see you tonight.)
" ok... papa." (dad) The last part came out as a whisper, and I was able to hear only thanks to my boosted hearing, otherwise I wouldn't have heard it.
My heart ached once more, what had she gone through to make her see me as her dad just with a bit of decency?
I acted like I didn't hear it and headed for the library, I had a new type of magic to study, and a little girl to not let down.

Healing magic is complicated, even more so based on the type of healing magic you wish to specialize in, its power also varies based on the type.
There is Holy magic, where you choose a godly deity to worship, because yes, gods exist, and they are aliens from different worlds/dimensions, the most powerful feel when they are being worshipped and sometimes grant special powers to people, making some of the most powerful healers or killers, depends on the god.
Considering how I didn't want to become someone's slave I immediately discarded the idea.
Next was Nature Magic, something I already have, but its healing powers are limited, they can't create out of nothing, and they only help regenerate what already is there, so this one was also discarded.
There are those just born with it, which a specific type of magic school already ingrained in their body, and only need to learn how to use mana to heal even the most serious wounds, they are rare, and those able to heal missing limbs are even rarer, so also no.
This left me one last choice, Blood Magic, not the dark type mostly seen in movies and books, but the one that can be used for the good of others, missing limbs, organs, and even old scars could be healed with this, but once again, it can't create out of nothing, and it needs materials, materials that I can easily supply.
How? Because I can fucking regenerate.
When I read about blood magic I thought of possible ways of procuring human meat that I could use to make Mary's limbs grow back, and my mind fell to only two options, kill some people to get an infinite amount of organs and limbs, or use my own body.
From what my powers had shown until this point unless my HP fell under half, no damage would become visible to my body, so I am a limitless bank of organs and human meat.
'Worst case scenario I will kill some rapists and paedophiles and use them.'
'Now, there is only one small problem, to connect with blood magic I have to go to a place where a lot of dead people are stored... would Mary like Paris?'
