"There are many things you should know, so let's start with what the world is like.
In this world, there is a king who rules over the world. He spilt the land to twenty different districts. With his castle in the middle. Depending on the number, it represents how powerful or safe it is. This village is a place in district sixteen.
The goal of many people is to work at the castle since it is said those who work for the castle gain new powers. Some say is another talent, some say they learn a new kind of magic.
Talents are something people are born with, it's unchangeable, permanent. Depending on how you train it, it can become super strong, or useless. Talents are like spells, requires mana. Mana is energy in the surroundings, how much you can store depends, a little depends on your talent, mostly is hard work. How fast you can recover those mana depends on your body.
Hm, oh yea! Beasts, as you can see, looks similar to earth's beast, but are very different.
Like a human, they can use mana, but they don't have talent. And just like humans, you can't judge them based on how much mana they can use. Some beasts are more intelligent, and those are the cunning ones that utilise traps.
There is a loose ranking system, due to various reasons. Normally, a squad is needed to face off against strong beasts. There aren't many strong beasts near our district, many over at district twenty.
For spells, you need to use mana to control specific elements. Depending on your efficiency with it, it can defer. If you have perfect efficiency with it, it doesn't cost mana.
That's the gist of the information you need for now. If you have anything else, you can always ask me."
"The NPC finally finish talking?" Lex accidentally mutter out, looking at Urn's confused face, he's glad he didn't understand it. "Got it, what do you recommend me to do now?"
"What's your talent?"
"Is super overpowered." He smirks widely, "I can create anything with my imagination." He whispers, glancing around the store.
Urn didn't say anything for a moment, becoming a statue.
"Hello?" Lex wave his hand in front of his face
"You can't tell anyone about it." He finally said, staring at Lex seriously, which makes Lex listen, "There was a rumour from the first district, so much distance for a rumour? I'm inclined to believe it. It is said that was the talent of the current King, the power of creation. He lost it due to a curse, and now he is powerless, but his power itself is still strong, so he is not overthrown. But like I said, it's just a rumour."
'This reminds me of ladybug and cat noir.. the power of creation and destruction.. did season for air?' He quickly slap himself before his thoughts continue to wander.
"If people know about my talent, what would happen?" He asks.
"Many will kill you, as they don't enjoy the current King ruling system. His ruling system is similar to earth, not by bloodline or what, but by capability."
"No problem, anyways.. can I read the books here?" He asks, looking at the shelves around them
"Go ahead." Urn said, hands off the table with his back leaning against the wall, sitting on the stool.
Lex stood up and went over to glance at some of the book's spine covers.
He takes a book from the shelf and read the title.
Power control, by Unknown
'Unknown? Sounds suspicious...I won't get isekai again right?..' He opens the book while closing his eyes, slowly opening them to see himself still in the same place. He then began reading the first chapter while standing up.
Power comes in many ways. Physical power, mental power, spiritual power. This book will guide you on how to control power. Nothing can truly be taught, as it needs experiences. |
'Sounds cool..' He went back to the counter and continue reading.
Urn looks up and Lex not holding onto anything, but seeming to read something.
'Blood book?' He thought, 'How is he related to such a powerful person.' He sighs and returns back to staring at blank air.
Physical power, otherwise known as the energy within you. Some call it Ki, Aura, élan. To control the energy within you, you have to be connected to your own body on a deeper level. Feel every breath that you take in, every breath you let out. Feel your muscles contracting and expending.
Every drop of sweat. Feel your feet stepping on the ground. Feel every beat of your heart.
That is the basic. Learn that for now. |
Turning onto the next page, it is empty.
'Huhh?? Is this some kind of legacy??' He looks around and spots a thumbprint near it. His eyes see both the book thumbprint and his, 'Are they the same??' He looks closer but realises the thumbprint is gone. He breathes in and out, 'Alright! Either I'm going crazy, or this is a book from my future self. Both crazy!'
He closes the book, his mind turning the gears as he thought of many theories.
'What if, those dreams were real?'
