Chereads / The Sovereign of Envy / Chapter 16 - Magical Girl?

Chapter 16 - Magical Girl?

"Muaaah" wonder why I always do the same yawn, but I'm starting to like it. Ah wish I had a mirror

As I woke up I went outside and washed my face before setting up the blaze of the grill. It seems that the fire crystal's fire last longer than my fire magic, by a large margin..., at first I thought that maybe it was just something... but as do the same everyday I came to a conclusion that the fire crystal make fire 'with' my mana, while my magic used mana to make fire, did that explain it or no?... its based on how the mana was regulated at them, as I see it I can determine where the mana is and where is the core of it

As the cooking last for a few minutes like 25 or so minutes, I wondered my view around the cave, on the left side of the grill there is an empty space. I just thought of making a sink before but..., to even be wondering why the shape of the sink tube below it wasn't a straight curve 'L' but instead turn around like a "J"

So I got a plan of making a sink. however making the tube is a different matter. How difficult would that be than making box, box, box and sticks with earth magic, even the pickaxe that I have was just shaped bit by bit

If I can do this, I can possibly even make a stone gun which is rather weird, no thats just too weird so lets not

"Heeh, I've begun thinking about too many stuffs since past few days, its probbably by the influence of magic" I can tell that if I stayed the same without magic, I'll end up like a certain 'amazona' or died out of boredom ... but thanks to magic I got some new ideas and new motivation

... putting them together and adding the sink's tub I successfully made a sink. and it took one hour of work, however since I don't have an actual faucet and I'm sure that it will take me a long time to make a water tank, I just thought up of relying on magic. Even the bath tub I end up discarding it and keep on relying on the river

Now back to the workshop with the stones at hand I think of designs usable at the next project

[Andesite rock: A rock with considerable strength and hardness, hardly found on tall cliffs and cave walls]

[Graphite: A strong durable type of Rock, considerably hard to find]

"Oooh! glad I had appraisal. So it was a Graphite golem huh? but for it to be unusable" Well come to think of it, if everyone can do everything with earth magic, then won't we all build our house underground? or just dig a hole anywhere and call it a mine

The thing is that I don't know if I can achieve the requirements to be able to do that

"Its really tough, the golem's body has to stay behind first, I had to think about improving earth magic"

Falling into deep thoughts, I thought of the difference between regular earth magic and the supposed to be advanced version of it... "Perhaps I need greater control or envisioning?" Its common to think that being advanced is related to being professional, the thing is that how... or the way they are related

"Earth" a round earth slowly elevates above my hand. When I was making the rooms I realized that I can't use them as materials as they dissapear once the mana is gone, I can tell since I sense mana but it should be the case as they appear out of nowhere. Not that I used the cave material cuz I wanna look cool and the water tub on the workshop which is filled with water magic yesterday was now empty for no reason, totally not and I'm just smart

As the mana is still connected, I can still control the magic. Just like the yesterday's compressing fire to burst out as a laser, I tried weaving the earth and molding it. Funny that it molds like a clay on my view and I don't feel my mana ever depleting

But as I was wondering... I thought up of other stuffs, my unique magic they are similar to what the novel says as 'Cheats' however I don't know how to use them as the magic system never came with a manual

"Do you normally learn magic via books? or grimores and spell scrolls?"

Last time I wanna be an assassin however I'm now turning into a magical girl "Uhh and its way too weird that I can't retort to that" Seriously I'm not trying to clear myself out, but have you ever thought of magical girls? or ever thinking of being with your 2D waifus? heh totally not right? but unfortunately, I am here Isekai'd, Cursed to never be able to touch the internet ever again so I'm totally going to dress this new waifu of mine that exist on the virtual world called mirror...

Face palming after realizing that it should be today the next release of the anime that I'm watching, I continued the work "Your waifus are dying in their own worlds while you peeps just keep searching for their doujins and keep cursing the anime because there's no swimsuit specials" I'm actually one of them before but its kinda sucks after realizing how hard it is to live on these worlds

Weaving and weaving I began to understand something. The thickness or the thicker the mana that grips and mold the magic the greater the control, and honestly I can't make a point at where should those chant magic should be. Thing is that something seems to be assisting me as I slowly understands the process

Taking the span of 3 hours total, I came to a conclusion. Magic spells solely rely on what you envisioned, they can take shape based on it and react the same same way aswell. While magic that requires materials actually cost a tremendous amount of mana than magic spell, it only ever changes on what already existed while magic spells creates them with mana

"Fuuuh" laying my face on the table, I massage my head... it wasn't like I lost mana and all but it actually made me think alot, "I'm tireddddd"

I'm just an emo but look at me now, all these loneliness is making me change. Give me a vacation... this is over work, I'm signing a petition.

Touching my only salvation... my heavenly pillow. I started to wonder... as the world is different... and dangers are also everywhere, how could I trust anyone? I mean I can't even trust these hands of mine. The thoughts of people thinking badly of me or even thinking of malicious acts really gonna make me puke, I'm way too bad at handling them...

Standing up on the seat, I head and cooked the meat. Its fine having an idle time this, and as for finding a human settlement, I just can't bring myself to think of any job or source of money

My knowledge regarding this world is also lacking, I need to plan things out as well. I don't have any idea regarding currency

"But hey, they say that there exist adventurer's guild in other worlds" adventurers and the likes, too fantasy like but I too wanna do that. After all this new world stuff wont I be able to at least enjoy my life here?

"Wait seriously I missed something?" Several skills were now improved without me knowing but honestly as long that its useful I can accept it

"Then~ earth magic would be my first trained skill heh" As long that I practice skills so then can I get them to level up, this would be beneficial for protecting myself on the future "Wait, then why did smithing leveled up? all I did was just restore an old sword..." there should ba a reason to that, wait did making a foraging tools or the room itself counts? or just because I made stuff that should require a craftsman to make?

I thought smithing was only related to metal works like swords..., this world has a weird standard

So overall I'm still way better as an assassin, yet I have magic so its something else. My swordsmanship is also high... even if I can't tell what really changed, it should be powerful

"But honestly, for this world... even if you have high leveled skills, it still wont help you unless you actually know about it" like magic that doesn't actually explain to you why or how they work, or this swordsmanship that is relatively high yet wont give you extra knowledge or skills regarding the usage of swords. I seems to me that they are only display or they serve as a limit to what you can do. Even if you are a spearman maxed, you can still lose to a level one specially if you fought a trained one while your only a novice

As far as I remember, the war mentioned on the notes said that the fight took place on Neveri Fort, the entire battle was on the north of the continent. Theres a note saying that a battalion of level four swordsman elites lost on the edges by an ambush of practically numerous mages with level two magic. So all in all even with high level skills you can still lose to those that have trained, in advantage or with actual skills

"Hah... how weird~" totally weird... this world. Everything is complex, you can't become a legend in one day. Also there are monsters that is severely difficult to handle just roaming around the corners, aren't this world's on great danger?

Going outside I picked some plants that could more or less look non poisonous, with appraisal at hand some of them was even mentioned to have a healing property

[Lareda plant: An extremely rare plant that has healing property, Can be found on places with high mana amount]

Healing properties was it?, as far as my memories go they can be used as potions, on games these potions can be used when you are on a dangerous situation, I also went for potion selling before on MMORPGs but I know less since they are just drops from plant type monsters

"So I can make potions for this?" As I remember my alchemy skill, it can possible be true "Setting aside the skills, I dont have knowledge regarding it" Thats certainly true as when you are crafting on games, all you can see is the loading bar with the word crafting on top, but any knowledge regarding it would be no no. The troupe of when you fail on making a health potion, you can get a poison is also there

Ah then do I have a container for it? "Ah now that I think of it, why do the game characters craft potions anywhere yet the actual potion always ended up with a container even without having a container" ah no with this being the reality, something like that wont be possible

"Ah somehow I'm baffled for not having known how to make glass out of sand" At first I thought it was just a weird thing, I haven't known the process for it aside from burning it but I know how they shape them "I feel medieval or more precisely... I feel like I'm the only 'human' on this world"

I've already reached the cave, and then entered the place
