Eric felt the world tilt around him, his vision pulsing at the edges as a creeping dizziness washed over him, a sensation he hadn't felt in weeks. The chatter of students leaving the training ground scraped against his skull, grating on his senses. Clutching his stomach, he felt a hollow, pulling sensation deep in his core. A hunger that no amount of food could conquer.
[YOUR HUNGER GROWS]
[MANA BANK: 0/0]
[HUNGER LEVEL: 25%]
The single word, "Zero," in his mana bank was like a death sentence.

At 90% hunger, he'd be growling like a wild beast, his sense leaving him gradually to be replaced by a beast's.
