Chapter 19: I Haven't Had Enough! Chaotic Mana Codex!
Draco was still sitting in his position, surprised as he tried to analyze every speck of his strength. A few minutes passed and his mana had already recovered by more than 80%.
It was about time he moved on and created new spells to tackle the dungeon.
But the gains he made in a single sitting were far too much for the current Draco to handle.
"Ridiculous. This is absolutely dumb. How is a mana absorption meditation method supposed to give this many prizes? And how could others not create such a technique? And isn't even someone like Shamuji able to do this much? This makes no sense, System." Draco tried to calculate his gains in his mind many times but the only answer he got was cheats, cheating, cheater.
He knew he would rise fast as he had many cheats but he never guessed it would be this fast and this easy if he knew...
What he didn't know, however, is that power doesn't come without a price, but, he would come to know soon enough.
[Host, it isn't that others have not created similar techniques or aren't incapable of absorbing mana, but, different circumstances allow the creation of different results. Others need to fully master a technique, which takes an unholy amount of time depending on your approach. Such time can be greatly lowered by people working in groups to create a technique, however, they will not be blessed in the end and the technique cannot be automated. It is not to say that technique creation is hard, however, the intelligence needed might be well over what most beings are capable of ever reaching.]
[For you to create a technique just by feeling the air, and absorbing a little mana, it is mostly thanks to your title [????????????????], and me, your system. Mana meditation techniques in general are either very looked down upon as meditation techniques due to ignorance, their bland benefits, and being taken for granted, or they are ingrained in the bloodline/race such as dragons who are walking mana vacuums. This leads to the former reasons. Beings prefer obtaining mana affinity, which lets them absorb mana directly and instead look for other more 'luxurious' techniques.]
[As for the goblin shaman, first of all, he doesn't meet any of the conditions to create a technique, and as I said beings usually prefer other techniques because they gift affinities, and/or immunities, and the reason they aren't able to boost mana regeneration is that it's mostly a benefit of mana techniques, Your mana technique is special because it met an anomaly due to this world's special circumstances, making it one of the most sought after meditation techniques.]
[for your information, meditation technique mastery either takes 505 hours of meditation for f-rank techniques, or understanding of the technique which is by far faster as it can take 10 times less of a duration to understand a technique than to mindlessly meditate, each rank above f the duration and complexity of the technique is phenomenally increased as it takes 5,050 hours of meditation to master it.]
[your technique will take 50,500 hours to master which is close to 6 years of meditation, please make an effort to understand anything and everything about mana and space.]
[Now, would you like to name your meditation technique, host?]
"Urgh, System, I didn't ask you to give me a lesson but to tell me if others can gain strength as fast as mine!" Draco complained as the information the system gave could be read and absorbed at the same time, however, it was much more than he wanted or needed.
[Would you like to name your technique [Urgh, System, I didn't ask you to give me a lesson but to tell me if others can gain strength as fast as mine!]?]
"Stop, Stop, Stop. No! don't joke around." Draco hurriedly refused.
"I will name it... Chaotic Mana Codex, yes! This shall be the name!" Draco thought of numerous names and finally, after sorting out his ambitions and goals, he found the name he felt an innate connection with.
[Very Well, Host!]
[You Named Your Technique [Chaotic Mana Codex]! The ????? Has Liked Your Ambition, It Has Rewarded You! You've Gained A Permanent One-Rank Boost To All Affinities, You've Received The Physique...]
