I've been doing a lot more mana training and magic spell casting. The book explained that it would be much harder for beginners but why is it so easy? am I a secret prodigy? I've been able to to store even more mana inside me because I store mana in my heart, mana is constantly running through my veins giving me a mana body. I can cast spells like they're nothing.
I am also learning that I'm a good fit for water magic, but today I'm going to start training other elements to see if I'm eligible to use them. In the book, it states that the 5 basic elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, and Wind. But there are more advanced magical elements that exist.
1. Light Element
2. Shadow Element
3. Black Lightning Element
4. Ice Element
5. Gravity Element
There may be even more elements that are not known to the world, but currently, these advanced elements are considered the strongest. The first king was a master of the Gravity element. The ability to pull in and push out things at will, able to rip mountains from the earth and tilt the oceans with ease, the second king used the shadow element, the absence of light, with the ability to transform into a shadow themselves, become intangible, make clones, teleport, hide, it is an extremely powerful element. The Ice element is just an advanced version of water, tougher, denser, and stronger. Black Lightning is much stronger than the regular Lightning element.
I first imagine a simple ball of light in my hand, and with ease, it appears. I am shocked, It was much, much easier than I expected. I think about the ball of light quickly transforming into a light spear. In an instant, the ball of light extends and transitions to a spear of light. With all of my power, I push out the light spear with force and precision. It just slightly hits the marker on a tree, but it tears a small hole through the part it hit.
"Hm...it has power and speed. But how can I make it more destructive?"
An idea then pops into my mind, Instead of making a ball of light I just immediately create a light spear, I then imagine it spinning, spinning very fast, extremely fast, I make it denser, and I make the light spear longer. With all of my strength, I imagine the spear moving faster than ever, I push it out with immense force, and with great accuracy, it hits the mark perfectly and blows a large hole into the tree.
"My mana was greatly depleted, If I wasn't able to store more than 2x the mana in my body I would have been done. If I was a little bit older and this body was more mature I probably could make several of those at once."
I put out my hand and imagine lightning slowly surrounding my arm, I then smirk a bit before making another spear yet a bit smaller this time for testing purposes. I make it spin fast and then I imagine the lighting surrounding the light spear.
It was a success, I was surprised at my talents. Was I a prodigy with a knack for magic? what about swordsmanship? just what am I good at that I don't know about. I was so excited about the future that I couldn't wait.
..
4 years and 10 months have passed since then, and I've done exactly what you expect. I trained my mana and increased my capacity, practiced more magic spells, and even perfected my very own light spear technique.
"Matter of fact, what should I name that move? Light Lightning Spear? no too long. Just light Spear? again too plain. Whirl Light Spear! That sounds pretty decent."
I have been contemplating on when I should start training my body, I don't want to start too late or too early. But I'm almost 10, so I believe now is the perfect time.
I wanted to start simple, so I decided to do a bit of stamina training. I've been running every single day, I even used a thin rope I found as a jump rope. Doing this every day back to back, I felt it was time to move on, I began with some pushups, and I did about 3 sets of 10 reps. it was hard at first, but my body slowly got used to it over time. After a couple of weeks had passed I was mostly doing running and pushups, but I am recently beginning to do some crunches, it burned after just the first 5 but I pushed through and from then on started doing 2 sets of 15 reps.
I mostly did these 3 workouts altogether for about 4 weeks, I already had my 10th birthday and could focus on training even more. I had yet to see a change in my body, but I could tell something was improving. For some reason I started to train my vision and focus while bathing, and using the bathroom, during classes, I focused on the smallest amount of things and tried to teach myself to heighten my senses. It all felt stupid to me, but I felt it was crucial.
My entire body, including my eyes and even ears, were all hurting. I felt I had trained a bit too much, but I didn't mind as long as it was helping.
I latch onto a strong tree branch, I do a single pull-up, I struggle on the second one, and on the third, I drop down in fatigue. I take a small break before gripping back onto the brand and retrying.
The winter was now among us, everybody was indoors enjoying the warmth but I was outside, near the woods training my body and magic. I had also started to notice a change, my arms were much more muscular, my senses had become greatly sharpened and I was even growing a 6 pack, even though It was barely visible. I was proud of myself, I was only 10 and had come this far.
My mana pool was greatly expanding, I could now make a total of 2 Whirl Light Spears and 3 for just about 5 minutes.
My magic core was also changing colors, when I first unlocked Mana it was completely black. It then became gray around 6; at 7 it quickly transformed into white, 9 it became dark red, and after training the way I've been, it just recently became a light red.
In this world, the color of a person's core determines how strong their magical power is.
Black, you are most likely a beginner or haven't yet learned how to use mana.
Grey, learning and becoming better with mana.
White, is still an amateur.
Dark Red, In the intermediate zone.
Light Red, still in the intermediate zone.
True Red, close to leaving the intermediate zone.
Dark Orange, knows the basics of mana, probably a student.
Light Orange, Still learning.
True Orange, mana comes easier than ever, still learning though.
Dark Yellow, Mana is as easy as breathing now.
Light Yellow, You most likely know a good deal of magic spells.
True Yellow, You can utilize mana and magic in everyday things with ease.
Dark Green, Is capable of putting mana into objects.
Light Green, Is capable of Putting mana into magical weapons.
True Green, Is capable of putting mana into your own body and strengthening it.
Dark Blue, You know a great deal of magical spells, can be hailed as a great magician.
Light Blue, A true magician.
True Blue, A great Magician.
Dark Purple, Considered a Sage.
Light Purple, Considered a Great Sage.
True Purple, Considered a sage of great wisdom and spells, by this point you have reached the pinnacle and can be looked upon as a very, very strong person; some may call you a god.
Violet, this is an unknown core, nobody knows if it exists and nobody has yet to see anybody with this color core.
"All of this working out and thinking has me hungry, I sure could use some food."
I sit down and after imagining a plate of classic fried chicken from my other world, it suddenly plops right onto my lap. I look down at the chicken, very confused, is God answering my prayers? what is happening?
"What the hell....it looks legit."
I take a bite out of it.
"It tastes legit!"
I imagine a nice sprite, it's been ages without one.
"It would be nice if I had a drink though, bummer."
An ice-cold sprite, fizzing with bubbles and radiating a great energy.
"T-This can't be....I-I was given, a Mcdonald's Sprite?..... I might pass away with one sip, how dare they!"
Picking up the Sprite, I take a single sip. My heart feels like it's put into a knot and my chest tightens up, I hold onto my throat, trying to soothe the tingling static in my neck.
"AGHHHHHHHHHH!"
"T-This evil beverage...I love it."
"But, how did I get these things? I just thought of it and it appeared."
"No way, it's gotta be some hidden system, or maybe God..."
I imagine a simple wooden sword, "pfft- I wish, a wooden sword for training would come in real hand-"
Just like that, a perfectly clean wooden sword was put into my lap, it was perfect for training.
It didn't take long to put two and two together.
"I-Is this...IS THIS MY CHEAT?! OH, I LOVE THIS WORLD! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I CAN IMAGINE STUFF INTO EXISTENCE! Okay, Okay....I will imagine myself as the strongest."
after a couple of seconds, nothing happens.
"Well...maybe it doesn't work like that...."
"Okay then...I'll imagine some cool gear."
As I opened my eyes, the once tattered and dirty clothing was now replaced with some extremely nice leather gear, it looked to be quite expensive. If I had to estimate it would probably be around a couple of silvers for a set like this.
"Isn't this skill quite op? I could probably imagine a gun in this world, a couple of ARs, but.... where is the fun in that? I want to have some awesome magical sword battles not end everything with a single bullet! that's boring!..."
"What should I call this ability? if people find out about it then it might be hailed as a Mythical Rank Ability. It's not like I want to hide my abilities, I'm not some lame novel MC that has stupid reasons for hiding his skills just to be pushed around for 50 chapters..."
"But, I'll call it.....Divine Invention. I'll just make people think I can create the things I imagine, instead of telling them I imagine it....."
