Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Information, Magic, & Techniques

Right now, he had more important things to do, like firstly sorting all the memories he got from his Master.

With that thought in mind, he sat down in a lotus position and retracted his senses as he connected to his Soul Avatar.

First things first, he decided to sort all the memories by date, that was the most basic sorting he had to start with, and he found out that he had memories from age 3 to 1000+.

He was expecting something like this, but damn that number was just too big for someone like him who was used to humans leaving only about 80-100 years old on average.

Whoever saw that would be shocked, even someone like him who usually made his characters live for eternity, but this wasn't fantasy or illusion, this was his reality.

Furthermore, it didn't seem like that was the end of it either, more like he wasn't able to access information beyond that, due to him being too weak for it.

Still, even the information that he might really be able to live beyond 10.000 years was already something that blew his mind.

Taking into consideration that he kind of understood into what he was getting into, the surprise didn't last long, and he was able to recollect himself rather quickly.

The next basic sorting was clearly the area or field the memories belonged to, like daily life, fighting, magic practicing, alchemy, etc.

There were a lot of memories that required a lot of sorting, so this process continued for quite some time, it should have been at least 3 or 4 hours, and it was only the amateur and level 1 knowledge.

Just like with the information beyond the 1000+ years old memories, he couldn't see information or memories beyond level 1.

It was most probably in order to not break his arms before he started flying, and fill him up with a lot of information that he didn't really need at the moment.

He knew that each of the divine arts had 9 levels, even though according to the information from the other Roy the empire he lived on knew only about level up to level 7.

The people who had reached level 7 were seen as the most valuable treasures for a country. In fact, there were actually countries that were built by these figures.

Forgetting about fighting against them, people would not even dare to be disrespectful or disrupt their good mood, which included the Emperors, Kings, Empresses, and Queens.

Their status and social standing were just that high!

Arcane had been a good alchemist of level 6 in his past life, but he didn't have much talent for the other Magical and Divine arts.

Well, this was a boomer, in his books those special guys who managed to go at the heights he had gone, would always have all the talents they needed, but it seemed like it wasn't meant to be.

He didn't really know what talents he himself possessed, or what would he be able to achieve, but he was hit by the realization, that people did not always get what they wished.

Certainly, hard work and knowledge would help him understand them at a reasonable level, but beyond that, it was going to be really difficult.

But he didn't have to do everything by himself, did he!? After all, he had no plans of living a lonely and solitary life.

If there was one thing that all his novels had in common was Harem. Since he was given the chance to live such a life, the least he could do was live the life of his dreams.

He would make sure to build a big and multivariant Harem around himself, with all the beauties he wished and found pleasing to the eyes.

His wish might seem childish, and hormonal but he didn't care. He never thought of himself to be some kind of perfect man.

He was a man who followed his wishes and his whims, and women had always been one of his greatest weaknesses.

Furthermore, like this, he would be able to complete his weaknesses. For example, if he didn't have a talent for alchemy, everything would be fine as long as he took in a few ladies who did, right!?

The same would apply to other arts as well, the best help for a ruler like he was going to be as competent and talented people by his side.

Well, that would have to wait for when he did find ladies he was interested in, as, at the moment, he didn't seem like he would be able to find one.

Even though Gaia was such a bit world, there seemed to be no humans in this place. Or at least in the memories of his Master Arcane, there were no humans in this place.

Since he had been poisoned and died the moment he would integrate with his world, he didn't have much information on what exactly awaited Eric behind the weird altar where he was.

He would have to go out there, and then check it with his own eyes, whatever there was. His Master could only warn him to tread each step carefully.

After he was finished with all the introductory information about this place, it was finally time to start learning about what truly mattered, Magic Power, cultivation of it, and techniques.

In his books, he had given this energy far too many distinct names, Qi, Mana, Chakra, and now he was going to call it Magic Power.

The name changed, but the energy always was the same, the energy that every planet had spread around its atmosphere.

By absorbing this energy inside one's body, or being able to interact with it externally, people on this planet could use spells in accordance with or against the world's laws.

But the mage had to be careful, as even though they could cast spells against the current world's laws, their spells would be weakened, and if it was according to the laws the spell would be strengthened.

The ways to use this energy were two in general, one who used it to increase their Magic Power, in order to cast better spells Mages.

And those who used it to train their bodies in order to be more physically capable, and stronger Warriors.

After that, the two big categories were divided into more other categories. For example, Mages could be elementalists who would try to work only on one element, like water, earth, fire, etc.

Or they could go the healing route, as they would combine the earth and water elements in order to create another polymerized element called green.

Warriors on the other side could decide to enhance one part of their bodies more than the others, entering different categories as well, like archer, swordsman, spearman, etc.

Both sides had their own merits and demerits, as warriors were perfect fighters in close quarters combat, while mages excelled in long-range attacks.

But according to his Master's memories, only those who practiced both forms of cultivation had a shot at reaching the Divine Realm.

This clearly surprised Roy as he didn't understand why, but no matter how much he tried he couldn't discover anything else in the memories that were open to him at the moment.

It was a shame as he wanted to know more, but he guessed that it was useless, all he could do right now was just make do with what he had.

One thing was for sure though, his decision was just as expected he would go both ways, even though he knew it was going to be extremely difficult, he didn't care.

He had the passion, enthusiasm, and excitement of a newcomer and a young man. To him, the impossible had already happened once, so it wouldn't be hard to think of happening a second time.

Finally, when it was all said and done to be able to go both ways and make sure that he was going to reach the threshold he needed something vital, like techniques.

If he didn't have the right techniques, then no matter how much he wanted to walk both ways, he would be unable to do so.

But, apparently, he didn't have to worry so much about it, as his Master had already thought about this special point, and had left him behind two Divine Arts.

"Broad as Universe" for the magic cultivation of his mage path, and "Indivisible" for the cultivation of his body.

Just like the name suggested, "Broad as Universe" was a technique that allowed him to absorb any kind of element in his body.

As long as he wished so he would be able to absorb any kind of energy in the Universe, but, but in order to reach the Divine Realm, he would have to cultivate each element to the Divine.

Learning that, Roy felt like he would have a heart attack, why should there always be a fu*cking but whenever things seem to be so easy, and simple.

People were unable to reach Divine even when they cultivated just one element, just how the fu*ck was he supposed to make it with more than one.

Not to mention, that his Master had even instructed him to go with at least 7! 5 elements of Nature, together with the elements of time and space.

The difficulty of his mage path just went through the roof. Would he be able to do it!? But thinking about the strength and power he would have if he did kind of upset that difficulty.

He was a young man, after all, he loved to challenge common sense, so why not give it a try!
