To me, magic was a mysterious force. And I was thrust into this world without it. With the passage of time, I can fairly declare that I, who had no idea how to utilize magic or what it actually was, have become one of its most proficient practitioners.
At the very least, my potential in it was limitless.
To utilize magic, mana from the body would combine with mana from the surroundings and be processed by the magician in the form of a magic circle before being activated.
I've read a lot of books and a lot of system guides. The finest methods for producing mana, conserving mana and increasing the strength of magic.
But it wasn't until recently that I realized I already knew the greatest technique to wield magic.
I didn't need
Henry walked down Dagen's harbour. Not just him, but nearly all of the ships arrived in Dagen.Dagen, the Brightwing Empire's the more prominent city. A city, well-known for its lively business district and trade market.A large crowd of people dressed in various outfits waited nervously as the ships opened their entrances to the docks.The numerous families who waited at the port for a day only wanted to see their children's faces emerge off the ship.However, one person stood out above the rest.A colossal man, a head higher than everyone else in the crowd, exuded an unbreakable aura.Nonetheless, his expression was deeply disturbed and concerned.He was Duke Kraus.After hearing about the academy attack, he nearly died of a heart attack.And when he learned that the portals had ceased working, he nearly had another heart attack.And he suffered a heart attack and was in the hospital for half a day when he learned that a monster like Asena had descended on the island.When he watche
Inside a Grand Building.A man lying on a bed was being observed by a slew of figures who would astound the public.Cleo looked at Riel. It had been two weeks since Asena had been killed. Despite this, he had not awoken.But she smiled.For the first time, a faint glow of mana could be felt emanating from his body.She smiled again as she looked at the figure of the young lady sitting across the bed."Let's give Riel some space, maybe he's too nervous to wake up while we're all here." Cleo made a sarcastic remark."That appears to be the case." Duke Kraus sneered as she looked at the jerk who was currently occupying all of her daughter's attention.They exited one by one.Eliza cast a sombre glance to her side.In her gaze was the slayer of Asena, whose identity the public had been desperate to discover.But all she could think about was how sorry she was.She still remembered when headmaster Cleo brought in a student who didn't look like a human at first glance.The anguish she felt
Duke Kraus, Cleo, Selena, and a slew of other notable names gathered outside the hospital's main door.Their expressions show apparent bewilderment."I'm not sure why he isn't awake yet."Selena mumbled, her gaze fixed on Cleo.She simply received a mischievous smile from Cleo, which perplexed her.Duke Kraus sighed and decided to explain everything himself."That jerk is undoubtedly awake by now, but he's acting as if he isn't. I could definitely feel his mana circle activating....damn bastard."The displeasure in his comments was unmistakable."Come on, Duke Kraus. Isn't it true that they've reached marriageable age? Let them be, after all, your daughter seemed to be interested in that boy. Hahaha, I guess I should make a wedding gift... An engagement gift should be prepared first."Cleo burst out laughing. Her past sentiments of guilt were swept away when she felt the life within Riel radiate brilliantly.Kraus' face changed to a sour expression with a furrowed brow."Shut up, Cleo
"Three epic cores."“Huh?” For a brief moment, Cleo paused.She wasn’t mistaken, what she heard clearly was Riel asking for three epic ranked cores as a reward."Is it too much?" Riel seemed disappointed to see her squinting face.As a result, she quickly cleared up the misunderstanding."It is, in fact, very simple.""The problem is that epic-ranked cores aren't very useful. They are, however, extremely uncommon. Will the fact that I only have two suffice? I'll also give out other rewards.""That's a reasonable bargain."I closed the deal with my only usable hand at the time.I was getting excited on the inside, and if it hadn't been for my body, I would have danced on the floor.Finally!'My deathpact angel is ready to hatch!'Cleo tilted her head, clearly bemused by Riel's excitement.'What will he do with an epic rank core?'Epic rank cores were completely useless.Not because they were useless, but because no one had discovered a way to use or refine them. The most anyone could r
"Archmage, please take a seat.""OK, I guess today is the first time the two of us have personally talked.""The rest of the time, there were always other people with us," Ladia said, nodding. " Is the Archmage uncomfortable speaking with me alone?""If I get uncomfortable talking to a kid like you, I'd rather die," Cleo scoffed. "The princess with tainted hands, on the other hand, is someone I should be wary of."Her words were not held back at all, slamming right into Ladia's most vulnerable spot.There was a sigh heard.Cleo sat up straight, proud and haughty."Don't judge me too harshly, Princess. But I'm not convinced that someone whose hands had been sullied by the blood of thousands and thousands of people would change so quickly.""You are correct," Ladia agreed. "I can only show you through my actions, so please keep an eye on me. Anyway, on the subject of the student, what does Cleo think of him?"Cleo kept a close eye on Ladia, though her gaze was diverted by the newspaper
Eliza opened the door and entered, her gaze fixed on the bowl of soup in her hand. She raised her head to check on Riel, only to be taken aback.The soup in her hands almost fell off as a result of the shock of seeing Riel's face.After seeing the person sitting on the bed, a hint of suspicion appeared on her delicate face.And that was short-lived.Her lips formed a frown, followed by a playful smirk."Why do you appear feminine? Are you a woman in disguise?"Of course, Eliza knew Riel was a man, but given the circumstances, she couldn't help herself.Who told Riel he needed to look so dazzling and feminine?His skin was even more beautiful than hers!My proud appearance soon crumpled. Her words made me feel violated.“Shut up.”"What actually occurred?""Be quiet.""Pfft, here's some herb soup. It will help you heal faster, according to my father."Eliza sat on the couch after setting the soup on the bedside table.And I could finally see the soup in its entirety.The murky green
The party was to be held at Duskfell's Grande Mansion.Eliza had stayed in one of the city mansions owned by her family, it was not uncommon for a colossal noble family like hers to own a mansion or two in every city.As she approached her closet, she took out a stunning white gown adorned with finely decorated crystals and diamonds.Eliza chose to attend this party despite her discontent of parties in general. That was because Conrad had sent her something that piqued her interest.She initially thought it was just a gift, and she was used to such things, but...once she opened the box, the thing inside stimulated her interest.A small piece of paper inside the box read, "Do you want to know the secret of Riel Alheim?"That was all it took to titillate her interest.If Conrad had given it to her a month ago, she would have simply thrown it in the trash and ignored it.But not now, not when she was experiencing feelings she hadn't experienced in a long time.Eliza had no choice but to
It was flamboyant. It was the first time I have seen a brothel of this size."A brothel? Is it permitted?"But when I regained my composure, it still paled in comparison to the skyscrapers and structures from my previous life."You'll know when you walk in. This isn't your typical brothel." Turner said with an ambiguous grin.Someone came out before the three of us had even entered.Not in the usual way.The brothel had at least five floors, and the person appeared to be thrown out from the fourth floor and landed on the ground like a sack of potatoes.‘Murder?’My brow furrowed. In some ways, reporting this to the headmaster or any instructor would be the best case scenario. But I didn't move.The passers-by in the area all hurried off with their own issues, surprised at first and acting as if nothing had happened.To my surprise, the person on the ground stood up with a wince and cursed aloud while rubbing his back."How dare you throw me out?"From the brothel, he was met with even
