3rd POV
"Here are some of the images captured by the civilians that got involved in the fight between the vigilante Spider-man and a villain whose name remains unknown, he was seen fighting such villain for more than 3 days until, a previously seen vigilante known as Leshy, previously only seen in Paris single handly reconstructing Notre Dame and helping the fantastic 4 fighting an unkown group, arrived and saved Spiderman." A reporter said, behind her, the scene where the fight happened could be seen, police and other types of government-affiliated organisations were closing the area and looking around for who knows what.
" He is a menace. I am sure that the guy fighting Spider-Man was just seeking revenge for something Spiderman did, and this Leshy, for what we know, might be the one that destroyed Notre Dame, and what about what he did to the guy fighting Spider-Man? He sent him to space, an unknown and unauthorised being, who killed someone. People, open your eyes." A man with a pair of moustaches shouted at the camera, his veins almost popping because of how loud he was shouting.
" He got me my balloon; he is a hero." A little girl said after jumping in front of the camera of the first reporter.
" What do I think of him? He looked scary, very scary, he was taller than any man I ever saw, bigger than any man I ever saw, and just looked ready to kill whoever he wanted, but then he talked, he jokes around with my daughter, got her her balloon, but what shook me to my core is that he is a father, honestly, I don't think he is evil, a bit drastic, but no, I don't see him as a menace." The mother of the little girl said after being questioned about what he thinks of Leshy.
More and more journalists began speaking about Leshy, some painting him as a hero, others as an unknown being forcing his will on others, some showed him giving the little girl the balloon, others showed him sending Morlun to the sky. A hero or villain, who knew who spoke the truth and who didn't? The few people who knew the truth had no interest in speaking, and for Leshy, that didn't matter.

I had received that notification as soon as I had finished reading my 1000th book, I had received the new title, and though my mind was already pushing the limits of what could be done by just one brain by reading doen of books every few minutes, my body didn't stop, pushing itself more and more, doing excersises to grow beyond, comparing my body to my mind was like the day an night, on one side we had soemthing capable of chaning reality on a whim, on the other side we just have a stronger than normal body, that's it.
But it can grow, it will grow, and I will make it grow. I am a being that has no limit to its growth. I can go beyond what is possible to geniuses, monsters able to comprehend things in seconds, though I am not on their level, I will be.
Deciding to finish with this training session, I push my body up from the calistenic pose I had kept for more than 3 hours and push all the books I had kept in the air with telekinesis back to the libraries I had stolen, *Coff temporarily taken without asking, from.
I felt the tear in my muscles close as the effect given by each point in my physical stats started to take effect to change the physical structure of my body.
Though my body was mostly mana, I had a physical part, and even that part was changing beyond a simple human, muscles compressing against eachother to give a lean but still muscular build, my joints and some muscles becoming strechier to make me more flexible and nimbler, the connection between my nerves and muscles becoming denser to help my reflexes, the ammount of air I took with each breath incresing with each point in Endurance, my phisycal defence had grown to a point where normal knives coulden't evne cut my skin and only cause a -1 HP, the only reason why I wasn't destroyng the ground everytime I took as step was thanks to my body being part mana and me constatly using telekinesis on my body to lift it just a millimeter above the ground, as a form of training and to prevent possibles damages.
At this point, I was more monster than human, but I know, I know that the moment my Int and Wis reach 500, something will change, something very important in my will shift, and I am just a step away from it, but I need more, much more.
As my new mind continued cataloguing the information I had absorbed from the books, my mind got distracted by someone arriving inside the room.
I already knew who it was from the moment she had gotten out of bed, my little girl, the first connection I had ever gained to this world, and one of the reasons why I continued protecting the Earth.
And she is crying.
