Chereads / The First Mage / Chapter 48 - Chapter 47

Chapter 48 - Chapter 47

Sun has risen.

In his office. Takao is seated doing paperwork.

For the whole night. He has done nothing but doing paperwork as preparation for the growth of the Magedom.

Suddenly. A knock came on the door.

"Come in."

"Heika."

"Ah... My body is so stiff. What brings you here? Agane?

As he placed his hand on himself to be healed

"I have something to show you."

"Fine."

"Here."

He then brought forth a sword and what seems to be a metallic jar. Its top has few small holes.

"A sword and a jar? What's with these?"

"Let's look at the jar first, shall we?"

Green aura as escaped from its small holes and slowly enveloped the entire room.

"This is healing, right?"

"Yes. Exactly. This jar is a magic item. It's different than enchanted weapons. Though, this jar only has a healing effect. It can be used by anyone possessing magic. When you inserted it with magic. The mechanism inside converts that magic into healing type. That is why its possible to emit healing aura around the room."

"I see, I see. But. How should others without magic use this thing? You see. People with magic are considered noble here as my rule. But this thing is most crucial with those dealing with life and death situations, right?"

"Yes. Like the adventurers."

"Exactly. So... How do you think others would be able to use this?"

"I, I don't know."

"Hmm... Why not make an ammo system? This is something I've been thinking for some time now. Though not everyone could possess magic as it could be dangerous if had fallen to wrong hands. It is not also the reason to not let others use magic even without possessing them, right? So. I created something."

On his tear of space. Takao took what seems to be a scroll.

"What is that, Heika?"

"This thing. Will enable people to use magic. Also, it could give us money. You see. I am able to do a lot of things. And I created this last time. Within this scroll is magic. That magic is usable only once. However strong it is. In this scroll. There are 20,000 magic points. Once I opened this. I had to use all of it. I figured out that I could also give magic to objects. But it works differently. For humans, magic is infinite. Say. Like I had given you last time when you agreed but you also had to take your buddies along. That time. I had given you 300,000 magic points. Whereas others only have 100,000. In objects. That 100,000 works as a measurement of power and limit at the same time. Theoretically, if you use 30,000 of that. There is still 70,000 left. And when you use that 30,000. That is the power. And the other magic points could be used later. But in this scroll. You have to use everything, as there is no way to preserve the other left, whether you like it or not. So, if it is possible. We could use this. To have others use magic. And if it is possible. Could you make an ammo system? Like. For this scroll to be consumed in that thing?"

"I will try."

"So. What's with the sword?"

"This."

He brandished the sword. On it has a single character.

"What is that?"

"This is a brand new type of enchantment. With the power you had granted me, my King. We discovered this. This character means fire."

"But... There is no single character that means a whole word, right?"

"Yes. That is why we had to create one."

"Oh..."

"Basically. We just jumbled the letters together, so it creates a word."

"How?"

"I actually don't know too. We just take the letters piece by piece. As long as it has meaning and could be read. Its works, I guess. Since we had many trials and errors."

"I see. What do you call that?"

"Not yet. We had no name for it yet."

"Runes."

"Yes?"

"I said, runes. You could call it like that."

"I see. Very well. Let me show it."

The blade started a blaze on its blade. Emitting a little powerful heat.

"This is not as strong as the previous type of enchantment."

"Yes. But it seems that this is much easier as I am able to use both enchantments."

"I see."

"Besides. This could be done many times. It has like a stacking effect. And the more magic you put at the character. It becomes much stronger."

"That is good then. But why had you created something not that strong to show me?"

"This is just for a showcase after all. So. Should you out these at the market too?"

"Maybe at a later date."

"Thank you for your time, Heika. Very well. I'll go."

"Yes. It's fine."

"Goodbye."

"Mm."

And Agane left.

"Their crafts..."

After a bit more.

"There we go. Ahh... It's freaking finish. Wait..."

As he grabbed another paper.

"A request by Martin."

[Could we please subjugate the barbarians in wintervale without shedding blood?]

"Oh crap, I totally forgot about those people."

He opened a portal to teleport to Martin.

"Around here..."

"Master! Shhh!"

"Eh?"

Mello suddenly pulled him towards him using his water.

"Why?"

"Look."

"Umm... Jade?"

"Oh, Martin. Why would you have to take me to such a private place? You could say that to me with my sister there."

"Ahhhh... I cant. So... Umm... Can we?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Yes. I'm your girlfriend from now on."

"Seriously?"

"Mm!"

"Seriously, Mello?"

"Ah... Yeah. He is confessing his love for her."

"..."

"Eh?"

"I have to ask him something."

"What is it?"

"About this."

"Oh! Nii-san wanted that huh?"

"Yeah. But... I have a thing to do before that."

"What is it?"

"Meeting the G.O.D"

"Oh! How?"

"By killing myself."

"Eh?"

"Come. Let's talk to your parents about this God."

"Eh. Okay. But nii-san."

"Leave him with the woman of his life."

"Kay."

Proceeding to his parents' room which is located at Takao's castle. As all bearing the name Suzuki is currently in.

They knocked on the door and his father immediately opened it.

"Mage King-sama."

"Yo."

"Tou-san. Mind helping us with something?"

"Ah, ah. Sure."

Proceeding inside. They sat on a luxurious piece of furniture which is made by Takao himself.

"I have a question."

"Anything for you. Mage King."

"Have you two met the God as you said when I resurrected you?"

"Ahhh... Yes."

"How was heaven like?"

"It's a paradise. In heaven. You could do anything you wanted. Except fighting with others."

"Really, huh?"

"Well. The God. Its too good. The heaven truly is the best thing that will happen to you when you die."

"Much better than the riches this world could give?"

"Frankly. Yes, since we could have anything we imagine in there."

"Then it will be good to meet him myself. Right?"

"Maybe, my King."

"Mello."

"What?"

"Here."

"What is this? The resurrection magic?"

"Yes. Revive me after ten seconds."

Without further ado. Takao stood up and stabbed himself right through the chest using his generated short sword.

"Eh? Master! Oh... Fine. Ten seconds. Starts now!"

What greets Takao is a white plane similar as to when he is switching worlds.

In the middle. He saw a being. Rather. A light resembling a human.
