Chereads / War Magician / Chapter 3 - Awakening

Chapter 3 - Awakening

Lights floated in the air in containers of an unknown material . How the containers were able to contain the light was a mystery . They floated in the darkness as the only sources of light and Sam floated in front of them , and as he could tell , he was naked .

He was flustered for a long time before he finally calmed himself down and looked around .

Endless darkness was all he could see , except for those containers .

He looked down and almost had a fright from how nauseous he got . He immediately looked up and stared at the containers in front of him with a frown .

' Let's not look down . ' He thought . ' But what are these . '

He was confused for a while , before just like a game , an interface appeared in front of him . It was completely transparent and showed him the information about what he thought was the first container .

It contained millions of colors and as Sam looked at it longer , the number of colors stopped increasing , but Sam thought it was because he couldn't observe any more colours .

[ Qi ]

[ An energy used in the cultivation of the body and the soul ]

There was not much information , but just the name was enough to startle him .

' I can use Qi ? '

There were 6 more containers in front of him . He looked at each one of them one by one and realized he could not read any except for the follows :

[ Qi ] [ Mana ] [ Spirit Force ]

There was also one which simply read [ Energy ] . The other 3 were in some incomprehensible language and looking at the words gave him a headache .

[ Choose the type of energy to connect to . ]

These words appeared on the interface in front of him without warning and he had a surprised look on his face .

' Qi is depicted as extremely strong in the novels I read , but Mana is depicted as the energy of every living creature . Spirit force ... '

[ Increase the strength of your spirit . ]

' Seems like psychic energy or something . Those other 3 are unreadable but their information depicts them as being strong . But this ... '

He floated in front of one of the containers which glowed the brightest .

' It somehow feels extremely familiar . '

[ Energy ]

[ Simply increase the affinity to energies . ]

' Thought the description doesn't say much ... '

Affinity can mean a lot of things . Storage , resistance , etc .

' It seems most suitable for some reason ... '

He stretched his hand towards the container and slowly around it . He then firmly held the small hot dog like container in his hand .

[ Energy has been selected . ]

[ Proceeding ... ]

He felt his vision darken and then when he could see again he noticed he was sitting in a meditative pose . He tried to look around but suddenly his eyes closed and he heard a voice .

" I see . A rookie with affinity with me . If you can get anything from this , please try your best . "

The voice was old and seemed extremely holy . Sam was almost lost in it , but he felt as if there was something constantly leaking from his body , or the body he was in .

After he heard that voice he felt as if even more of whatever was leaking was being absorbed back into the body . It was a refreshing feeling and was extremely pleasurable . Sam lost himself in the feeling and didn't notice the passing of time as he got lost in the feeling of absorbing whatever he was absorbing .

" It is about time you left . " Said the old , dignified voice . " If you learnt anything from this experience , we may have fate together . Look for Reverend Daya , if you ever hear his name . "

Sam opened his eyes and in front of him was an interface .

[ Innate : Restoration awakened .]

[ Proceeding ... ]

His vision darkened once more and he found himself lost in the darkness yet again .

When he opened his eyes again he was moving at an extremely fast speed . He wanted to look around but had no control of his body .

He heard a voice yet again .

" Interesting . Someone awakening my magic as an innate . Hahahahaha . Very well . Go ahead . I'll use my strongest magic simply because you are the first one . " The voice was young and extremely enchanting .

Sam noticed that directly in front of him was a monster made of stone as huge as a mountain . His body was running precisely towards it .

Every time the monster moved one of it's huge legs , he would feel the Earth shake beneath his moving feet , but the body he was in kept moving and suddenly flew in the sky .

" Always remember , the body is just as important as the mind . " The voice whispered .

Many cards appeared in the body's hands and then started floating around it .

Some lit on fire , some flashing with lightning . They kept floating around his body and he clearly took in the feeling .

The body then pointed at the monster with one hand and then the cards surrounding it flew towards the monster , one followed by another .

They had all kinds of abilities and he saw as they slowly destroyed the rock monster till nothing of it was left .

" You are the first one I've ever met , so always remember . You need to rely on your body almost as much as you need to do on your mind . "

Sam inwardly nodded and an interface appeared in front of him .

[ Innate : Magic Deck awakened . ]

[ Proceeding ... ]

Sam closed his eyes waiting to open them again .
