Kapitel 15: Magic
After I reached the place where I had left the carriage, I saw that guy still waiting for me.
Therefore, hopping up into the carriage, I ordered him to bring me to the city.
With that, my awakening process has completed, and I finally managed to step up onto the path of a magician.
While traveling with the carriage, I started observing the changes inside my body and system.
All my stats are increased; however, the biggest increase is in magic.
Normally when one awakens and receives their blessings, they would be able to call 'status' and see their parameters.
Since I have the system, the status window of blessing is merged with the system.
However, the stat points shown in the system interface didn't change.
That means the points shown in the system are parallel with the blessing statuses.
Then let me explain a bit about the average status of each person.
Normally the average values for normal people start with 1, and without getting rank-up, any normal person would, at best, have 2 in their stats.
Of course, that would be the pinnacle of the normal human body, and I have never seen any person like that in the game.
On the other hand, when one ranks up, their stats would also increase.
To sum up,
A one-star would have stats 1-2
A two-star would have stats 2-3
And that would go on like that.
That also means how weak I was compared to normal people in the beginning.
Know that my body didn't have any stats aside from perception and mana crossing one.
I still don't have huge stats, and I am still weak, considering I am a one-star mage right now; this is just the beginning.
Well, it is just as I expected. This body is not suitable for close combat but for a mage.
However, that doesn't mean I won't neglect my body either.
No matter what, from the looks of it, I will be alone in the future, and that means I should be able to protect myself without anyone's help.
As you know, generally, in the parties, mages would be protected, and they would be in rearguard since they have strong damage output while having low defense value.
However, I don't like partying with people too much, and that means I need to exercise and develop my body as well.
While I thought that we had reached the city.
However, we didn't stop there since I told him to drive to the mansion.
Although there is a possibility of connecting some dots about my identity, it is not that important since they won't have any evidence.
I parted ways with the driver when we got closer to the mansion.
After getting out of the carriage, I started walking to the mansion.
Although it is pretty late right now, I don't think the guards won't let me in.
As expected, when I reached there, it was the same guard waiting in front of the gate.
"Good evening, mister William."
I greeted him.
"Good evening to you as well, Noah. What are you doing here at this hour? Didn't you leave work today?"
He asked while looking around.
"Umm, I forgot the keys to my house, and both father nor mother are not home yet. So, I didn't have any choice but to come here at this time."
When I said this, he made a knowing expression while smiling.
"Ahahaha, I knew you were a bit clumsy but to think you forgot your keys, you sure are something. Anyway, I think it would be better for you to stay there instead of going back to your home, but it is your call nevertheless."
This guy has a pretty good heart. Well, it doesn't matter, tho.
"Well, maybe. Anyway, I should check my closet then. Have a good night, mister William."
"Have a good night."
With that, I parted ways with guard William and started going back to the personnel room to change my appearance again.
Although my magic capacity increased, that doesn't mean my skill doesn't consume any mana.
Anyway, I reached the personnel room changed my appearance back to normal, and went directly to my room without stopping anywhere.
Today was a pretty fruitful day since I acquired my blessing as well as learned somethings about the gods of this world.
I don't think Lady Nyx is a powerless good, or she would lose to Goddess Celestia if they fought. However, she is still forgotten somehow, and there is something fishy about that. I will figure that out in the future.
After reaching my room, I took a shower and went to sleep directly since I would wake up early in the morning.
Tomorrow, we will conduct the funeral ceremony of my father, and I must be present there.
Although the ceremony itself won't be too tiring, dealing with people is not like that.
Since we are still mourning father's death, most of the hungry nobles will try to get the favor of the Duke's family, and they will talk non-stop.
And it will be pretty tiring as well.
With that, I fell asleep not long after.
**
I woke up pretty early in the morning and started meditating.
I closed my eyes and started focusing my senses on the particles around my body, and as I had expected, I was able to sense all types of attributes of mana around my body.
Just like in the beginning, it seems my attribute; Aether, puts no restrictions on me while focusing on mana which will be pretty helpful.
After sensing every particle around me, I started absorbing all those mana and started losing my sense of time.
However, I noticed something.
When I absorb a type of attributed mana in my core, it doesn't stay like that and turns into something colorless.
However, it is not Aether. I know it because I remember the sensation of Aether inside my core. It is like the raw, and attributeless mana scattered all around.
Although I have yet to try the elemental spells, I think I have the gist of it.
The attributeless mana will probably turn into an attributed one with the element I have used, and it will change its form according to my will.
Just like that, I kept absorbing mana around my body for around two hours of time, and after that, I decided to stop since, without the knowledge, even if I had infinite mana in my core, I wouldn't be powerful.
After stopping, I started reading the book I got from the library and started studying it.
The book 'Introduction to Elementary Magic' is a pretty simple book written for the general audience.
As I have done and mentioned before, while using magic, most people would generally use chants.
Like when I tried to use the spell [Clean] or [Water ball], they all had chants.
However, the reason for using chants is not because they are necessary but because they are better for beginners.
Since, in the beginning, it is pretty hard for someone to focus on their mana pathways and activate them, most people would focus on their magic while chants behave like the bridge.
When one raises their ranks or their compatibility with the spell, they would be able to use it without chanting.
It is the same with everything we are doing; when you practice a move, you can do it even your eyes are closed.
In this sense, magic is also similar to that.
The more you practice, the better you will be able to use that.
Then, one may ask, what type of magic is out there?
In this book, it is mentioned that there are several types of magic out there.
Elemental Magic – Magic containing basic elements and their derivations (Fire- Water- Air- Earth)
Nature Magic – Magic affiliated with nature
Spatial Magic – Magic controls the spatial movements
Light and Darkness Magic – Magic controlling the effects of light and darkness
Time magic – Magic affects the time
Body Augmentation Magic – Magic increasing the magician's body
Divination Magic – Magic for looking into the future, communicating with angels or any other dimensional beings
Psionic Magic – Magic that enables affecting the real world with thoughts
Necromancy – 'Arise'
There are certainly other types of magic out there as well, but those are some of the basic ones out there.
However, then, how can I use magic?
This is the most important thing.
Most should be familiar with the chemical reaction of burning.
The important thing about making a fire is the element of Oxygen.
When one starts the chemical reaction of burning, they are basically making the oxygen chemically react with another element or molecule, and bum; we have the fire.
Then, can't I basically use fire magic by combining any element with oxygen, you may ask?
Well, I thought that as well, but there is a problem with that.
How do I directly affect or move the oxygen molecules in the air?
And this is how I began training my magic.
I first tried focusing on the molecules around me, and as expected, even with my sense stat 2, I wasn't able to sense them directly.
Then, how can I make the chemical reaction?
I tried to find an alternative way to that to realize something.
What is magic?
Magic is affecting reality and making it impossible with the effects of mana.
Then, why am I trying to make the chemical reaction of fire with oxygen then? What is the usage of fire-attributed mana in the air if I can make that happen without using that?
Yes, at that moment, I understood what I was doing wrong.
I was approaching magic from the wrong perspective.
I have yet to familiarize myself with magic, yet here I am trying to affect the 'atoms'.
After that realization, I focused on the mana in my core.
This time, without making anything complicated, I closed my eyes and just wished the mana inside my core to become fire attributed and pictured a fireball appearing on my hand.
At that moment, I felt the mana in my core changing and flowing in my body to my hand.
