Chereads / The Mage's Evolution / Chapter 6 - Head Start Part 1

Chapter 6 - Head Start Part 1

Hiro

It seemed like only yesterday when we last saw each other, but in reality, three years had gone by. My parents' collection has been the primary source of my learning since I began training my motor function. I eventually sneaked into the family library and read all kinds of books. I even tried connecting my Soul Forces and Zone links together, and it made me exhausted. My housekeeper—maid was aware of seeing me sleeping on the floor in random places…

The journey to connect my Soul-Forces to Zone at an early age was arduous, but I did manage to connect them both. 

Therefore, I was constantly focused on gathering the little amount of Mana that was spread throughout my body and trying to form the Soul Forces into the zone as quickly as I could.

To do this, I had to create a connection between the zones. The Energy that had been spread all across my body began to gather. It was difficult at first. Then, slowly, as I established connections within myself, it became easier and easier until finally; it was done.

Eventually, it happened, and my core has been completed.

There is no doubt that magic and the magic circle theory have become easier to understand since then.

Soon, I read all kinds of different magical theories. If you really look for a book, there are lots of it in this mansion's private library.

However, as a result of having the mental capacity of an adult, I had a longevity ability that allowed me to consciously will my  Soul Forces particle together.

The word "Mana era"

Forget the world. It's impossible to know if mana or  Soul Forces is real or not because mana particles exist on such small scales that they can only be seen in the laboratory.

The thing is, because of the human brain, you cannot perceive anything unless there is a standard for your surroundings and your existence itself. So, I am constantly perceiving everything around me. +

But since the particle's size is smaller than what a person can see or touch, most of the things around are composed of many types of  Soul Forces. For example, the air you breathe contains nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc. But if there is a reaction happening somewhere in the atmosphere, or if there is some particulate matter present, your lungs will pick those up first. Thus, you won't notice or realize what's going on.

That is exactly what I felt when my Soul Forces was completed.

Since it's basically a gland, it constantly excretes mana into my system, but unlike regular humans who have limited concentration levels of mana inside their bodies, my concentration is immense compared to regular people. It has resulted in several side effects, including my growth in magical knowledge and power. However, it also causes instability within me and sometimes affects my judgment of events occurring around me.

My daily life ritual, trying to spend as much limited energy as possible on gathering my mana, while not arousing suspicion in my mother and father. My father seemed to think that being thrown into the air would be quite nice and enjoyable for a child. While I understand that the adrenaline effect might excite some people when using mana to reinforce his arm and throw me into the air like a high-speed propeller.

Still, he was doing it for my safety and because of how easy it was to tire myself out;

He believed that this would be the best way for me to strengthen myself in terms of stamina.

But the only sensations I experienced when thrown into the air were nausea and a traumatic fear of heights. Luckily, my mother had a firm grip on my father, though there were moments when she appeared apprehensive about me as well.

I attempted to align my behaviour with my infantile body, communicating only in the simplest of sentences, conveying just enough to convey my needs, with no need for grammar. The first time I uttered 'mams,' to signal my desire for more food, she nearly teared up with joy. It had been a long time since I had experienced such motherly affection.

The pace of my training was gruelling and slow, but I couldn't complain. I was gaining a head start compared to everyone else. The past two years had not been in vain. I had finally gathered all the mana I required, honed my control over my zone into the solar plexus, and was in the process of mediating condensing a  Soul Force with the Zone as a catalyst. The connections in my zone were larger compared to the connection of mana, even after 2 years of effort I'm sure that even that would improve." Soul Force," I whispered, and the sphere responded with a pulsating, radiant glow.

It hovered above the center of my chest, gracefully swirling in concentric circles. The sheer magnitude of power within me left me feeling drained, yet the sphere continued to pulse with an energy that surpassed my comprehension.

The sensation was akin to a spherical globe spinning within my zone, yet it retained an amorphous form. This energetic sphere had come into existence just a second ago, and yet its power exceeded that of a 0.7-meter radius gravity spell from my previous life many fold.

Then the Sphere moves through the center of the hole on my left, right to the next location it continues, down to the third place and moves through to the fourth, a last hole opens and moves forward and then the ball is released to my stomach. The sphere circles my stomach several times and disappears into the void. I open my eyes and look down at myself, seeing that no changes were visibly noticeable.

Practicing magic in private wasn't hard.

I couldn't tell if my Soul Forces had been compressed and rearranged of particles or even if my understanding had substantially improved from practicing; if I could mediate any longer, i might unlock the Soul Forces Stage.

Flesh Recomposition or magical force equivalent skill and tactics.

Conserving my energy,

the world's new system wasn't hard to understand. It has always been this way. The soul has been subconsciously supplying the brain with the mana, so when we make a simple decision, the body, mind, and soul come together and make that decision for us. All the emotions that we experience come from these forces and have a profound effect on them, and through a person's soul, this connection allows their experiences to shape their world.

To awaken as Mage, I would need to apply knowledge, concentration, willpower, and the ability to access my inner spiritual space to manipulate Soul Forces, By accessing a region where souls gather.

Mana was used to replenishing my daily usage.
