[ Do you with to learn the advanced magic in the world of Gaia? ]
"Yes!"
Magic was something that was used in the world of Gaia for everyday things like washing your clothes or cleaning your house, but that was the extent of what magic was used for by the common folk.
Advanced magic was expensive and hard to find. It was only available to nobles or someone with a large background.
[ First we must start with what kinds of magic there are. There exists 5 main elements of magic in the "Original Magic Circle" which is like the color wheel that exists back on earth. These 5 elements of magic are Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Soul.
All of humanity is born with the affinity for one of these elements of magic, but even if you are born with the affinity for one magic element, you can still use the others, just not as greatly as you could use the one you have affinity with.
This is true for everybody except for those unfortunate enough to be born with the soul element affinity. Those born with the affinity to the soul magic element cannot use any other type of magic, only being able to wield soul magic which is drastically weaker than the rest.
60 percent of people born are born with the soul element affinity. The Fire element has the strongest offensive ability among the 5 original magic elements.
It is very strong but has a weaker defense. The Water element has good offensive ability and defensive ability. It is overall the most balanced magic element out of the 5. The Earth magic element is a very good defense type and healing type.
Although its offense is overall not as good as some of the other original magic elements, The earth magic element allows you to heal others with the essense of the earth. It can also be used as a good defensive type magic element with the ability to control the ground beneath you, a very useful type of magic element.
The Wind magic element has very good offensive ability and an okay defensive ability, its true value comes with its speed. It allows one to move in battle faster. It is mostly used for travel. Would you like to continue? ]
Ren needed to know this information to be able to grow and achieve his current goals. He was determined to succeed.
"Yes."
[ Continuing... The path of someone wanting to become powerful in the world of Gaia stems in different ways. The two main types of magic users are Conjurers and Enhancers. Conjurers conjure the element around them to create magic spells to use willingly. Enhancers use the element around them to enforce their body and weapon to make their physical ability much stronger.
Most people born with a different magic element than soul are enhancers. Guards, warriors and the like. Enhancers are overall weaker than Conjurers. To become a conjurer you need something that only 20 percent of humanity is born with... a mana ocean.
A mana ocean is something that only some are born with, it exists in the middle of ones abdomen and allows you to conjure elements by activating all of your body's meridians that are blocked without said mana ocean.
Enhancers and Conjurers both have different tiers. The Conjurer tiers consist of tier 1 Mage, tier 2 Wizard, tier 3 Sorcerer, tier 4 Warlock, tier 5 Grandmaster, and tier 6 Mythical Sage.
The Enhancer tiers consist of tier 1 Fighter, tier 2 Warrior, tier 3 Champion, tier 4 Great Monk, tier 5 Annihilator, and tier 6 Legend.
Because enhancers are overall weaker than conjurers, a tier 6 Annihilator is on par with a tier 4 Warlock. And a tier 1 Mage is on par with a tier 3 Champion.
Each person also has a compatibility to Magic Element from birth, this is called the Mana Potencial. It dictates your potential for magic and how high you can achieve in your life. Of course there are exceptions but if you have a low Mana Potencial, you will most likely not be able to rise in power throughout your life. There consists 6 main tiers of mana potencial each possessing a color aura.
Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Phlox, and Vermillion. Violet being the weakest and Red being the strongest among the main 5. Phlox and Vermillion are ancient legendary compatibilities that no one has had for many millennia.
Phlox is a purple like color that is dazing to even look at. Many seek to see the color at least once in their life times. Vermillion is an even greater color. Known as the greatest color of mankind, If someone managed to get this color aura, their potential would be limitless, achieving feats never before seen in humanity.
That is all the current information for host ]
Ren was processing all of this information, but before he had finished he decided to ask Crona where he ranked among the different tiers. "Crona, Where do I rank among all of the tiers..."
Ren had a bright expression, expecting good news.
[ The magic element that host is compatible is to is... the soul element. Checking for mana ocean... negative. Host ranks in normal human tier for both conjurer and enhancer... Mana Potential is Violet. ]
Rens bright expression immediately vanished. What he had just heard broke his barely healed spirit. Ren thought that all of his wishes were going to be for no avail. He was going to let down his parents, he was not going to have a good life like he wanted, and most of all he was not going to get revenge for everything he went through. He fell to the floor and broke down. He thought about his sister and parents. He thought about how they will all suffer because he was not capable of becoming strong to protect them. He was devastated.
But in a world of darkness, shone a brilliant light. [ Haha, Host need not worry, for it is my duty to make you the single Sovereign of this Universe. ]
Ren froze for a moment before wiping his tears. He remembered that he still had Crona. It almost felt as though Crona was also burdening his pain for him. "How... how can I succeed without the foundation of magic in this world.." Ren still had a painful voice.
[ You underestimate me.. who said you needed any of that crap? ]
Ren was surprised that Crona had just said a cuss word. It made him burst out laughing. After calming down Ren vowed to himself that he would never lose his composure again.
[ *DING* development of NEC-19 ready to begin, would host like the start the download? ]
"Yes." Even though Ren didn't know what he said yes to, he trusted Crona enough to not doubt her. "Explain Crona"
[ NEC-19 development commencing.... NEC-19 created.. NEC-19 description: A duplicate enhanced version of a normal mana ocean. Xerox Mana Ocean creation commencing.. ]
"What?!" Ren was blown away by had he had just heard. He had not even thought about the option of creating an entirely new mana ocean.
"What is the Xerox Mana Ocean? Why is it being created?" The Xerox Mana Ocean was unexplained. [ Locked Information ] Ren was not even a little bit annoyed at Crona's actions. He was ecstatic about his new mana ocean.
Before he could do anymore, a deep pain emerged in his stomach. This was the worst pain he had ever gone through in his life. It felt like it would stop but then come even harder the next time, like waves of pain from an ocean. It felt as though lava was swishing around in his stomach.
He immediately fell to the floor from the pain. Every couple minutes he would feel like passing out but something wouldn't let him, making him endure the pain for hours until his parents came back.
Carla and Daniel (his father) saw Ren in this state and freaked out, they immediately tried to calm him down but to no avail.
This was something that forged Rens path to ultimatum. This pain multiplied for days. As it got worse Rens body sweated immensely. His eyes became more bloodshot red. His body became insanely hot to the touch and rough.
He screamed for help what seemed like years. Just like this days went by, soon turning into weeks. After about 3 weeks of overwhelming torture his parents decided to use the money they saved up to send Ren to school to send him over to a shaman doctor that resided deep in the forest near the kingdom.
This shaman was rumored to heal any from the slums for completely free, and that his healing skills was unmatched even among some of the healers in the kingdom. Rens neighbors had actually gone to the shaman a month before what happened to Ren, and they had gotten help from the shaman.
Carla didn't trust the shaman as much, but Daniel insisted that it worked for their neighbors and that it was the only choice they had. After agreeing they spent all of their money to buy a ride to the shamans residence in the forest.
While getting prepared to go, some guards decided to accompany them on their journey, this was unexpected since guards were what only the rich could buy while traveling. There weren't a lot of guard businesses in the slums so Ren's parents thought that it might have been a tactic to advertise themselves throughout the slums.
Whatever the reason was, they weren't complaining. The guards consisted of a red haired female that was about 5'5 that had purple clothing and a big bow attached to her back, A big brute that wore rough military like pants and a green tank top, he had a small dagger as his weapon and was tall and sturdy, There was also a small 5'7 guy that looked to be about 40 with a badly shaven beard and a skinny figure. He also wore the same clothes as the brute but had much less muscle so he looked quite pathetic.
After a couple of days it was time to go to the shaman.
