The System chimed in Zane's mind.

[Initiating Mana Core Formation Protocol…]
[Initiation succeeded!]
Suddenly, Zane felt a vast reservoir of mana inside him begin to churn and spiral. He didn't resist. He knew this must be the System's doing.
He closed his eyes and focused inward—directing his consciousness down to his lower abdomen, just below the navel.
Because he still had All Seeing Almighty Vision activated, everything related to mana was vividly visible to him. His spiritual sight penetrated his body like divine insight.
And there—he saw it.
A thick dam. Massive. Looming.
A barrier of condensed force that held back the surging tide of misty, swirling mana. The energy on one side of the dam was agitated, crashing like furious waves—desperate to break through, but helpless before the wall.
That must be the block—the Mana Dam.
I need to break it to begin the core formation… Zane thought to himself, his eyes glowing with determination.
