Bab 7: Training and experiment results

POV Julian Kingscrown

It's been a year since that day I saw those spooky scenes in my dream, vision or whatever that was, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Why I thought that if I wanted to change something I had to do it myself and for that reason only one thought flooded my mind, it was to become strong and get allies as powerful as I could

I followed my training diligently and when I was three years old I crossed the barrier of solid Red, now I am in Light Red with cracks a step away from dark orange and the reason why it has gone slower than I thought is because of my experiments

I started to try each of the abilities I had in mind from the legacy and its current limits, the first was the extraction of mana in the atmosphere, this part was somewhat complicated, as it was similar to what conjurers do with their ranged spells and how they affected the mana in the environment, I'd say I can only do it about three times to perform long-range spells before suffering the backlash and the amount of mana I could draw wasn't unusually large, but it works as a trump card

I didn't risk trying to extract mana from cores of humanoid beings, because I didn't want them to know about my abilities, but that didn't leave the animals of the forest exempt, the dog I helped on the first day kept coming to me and I wasn't going to let the opportunity pass me by

Unfortunately, the bastard was very clever and wouldn't let me do it for free, I had to give him food in return, unfortunately Granny Rinia didn't give me any more food for the dog and I had to share it with him when I wanted to do experiments

I took advantage of those experiments to not only test the mana extraction in the environment, but also improve the mana cores and I realized two things, first to extract mana from the cores I needed to do it by contact with them from a distance is a big no and the second is that I can't help them raise the core level above the one I have

To explain it better, I made a scale to estimate the level of Mana Beasts compared to human cores, and even though I couldn't deal with beasts beyond C-class, putting together my memories of the novel I completed the scale

Beast Class-Human Core Color

E - Black - Dark Red

D - Dark Red - Solid

C - Solid Red - Light

B - Light Red - Dark Orange

A - Solid Orange - Dark Yellow

AA - Solid Yellow - Initial Silver

S - Medium Silver - High

SS - White

SSS - Integration Stage

Of course, this will also depend on several factors such as the type of pairing and what are the characteristics of each one; just remembering the novel we saw that Arthur managed to defeat the mutated S-class Elderwood Guardian alone and Alea had to suffer a bit with the AA-class Hades snake that was also mutated, plus she had several troops with her, so the pairing of both and the trump cards that are saved can influence the outcome, But on a general level it should be that way

The thing is, I can't power up a beast beyond C-class and that takes a considerable amount of time, as it initially requires me to extract mana from the atmosphere and purify it and then add it to the core of the dog called test subject number one Rex; but since the fire attribute mana generated by me, it's not pure enough to purify the core to higher levels, I can't overcome the C-class barrier

This is too arduous a process and takes several days to do, The only reason Cecilia seemed to be able to do it with the snap of her fingers was that she was already in the integration stage; But for me it would be a long road and when I finished this process it could take whole days

I ended up close to rebounding so I ended up losing days of purification of my own core

I also understood that while it is true that it is good to increase them and that it shortens their growth time, they also require some time to adapt. That time usually takes a few weeks when the nucleus is not unstable, but the wearer needs to get used to it

Initially with Rex we couldn't get past the original stage of his E-class race so I manipulated the elements of his core to try to force him to evolve or something like that when I tried I went into a state of hibernation where he lasted several days and didn't get up so I had to try to save him by manipulating his mana in the core again, But I couldn't go back on what I'd done

While I can increase the stages of the cores I can't lower them, only draw mana from them, when I was starting to mentally apologize to Rex for not being able to save him in some strange way, as if the heavens will hear my prayers, I felt a cold sensation in my lower back, like a liquid slowly flowing through my body, reaching my hands and finally moving on to Rex's body

Then it glowed in a scarlet color like the fire mana I introduced into its core, when I tried to check the sensation I had in my lower back, because I had already finished the process I found nothing; It's as if the connection I had had been severed, I was also very tired after the process and checking that nothing seemed wrong with myself I decided to let it go and try to verify it with another test subject

Rex didn't wake up immediately, but if after the next three days and during that course of time his body changed drastically, first his size doubled I'm sure now I'll have a hard time riding on top of him, his horns transformed became thicker separating into two sections and another growing in the middle of them on his head, Two more also came out on the sides of his jaw, they were not yet too prominent, but they gave the impression that you would be stabbed if you turned your back on him, his teeth began to protrude a little, his fur went from a grayish to a reddish one almost like a burning scarlet flame, they seemed to be growing some bones or plates as means of defense in a jet black tone he also grew a pair of eyes? Extras

I'm not quite sure what to call this process could still be called evolving?

When he woke up, he seemed fine, if we put aside that he was very hungry and there were elves who noticed that the number of beasts in the area decreased for some time, everything seemed normal

Another change is that his mane and tail rose as if they had a life of their own, looking like they were blown by the wind.

Finally, its fully upright size reached 100 cm, I reached about 60 cm, but that didn't bother me, it looked rough and I liked that

After that, as if all limitations had been overcome with time and my help; Rex reached the C rank, by then Granma Rinia looked differently at the Hellhound, that was the new name I gave to his unique breed and gave him some leftovers

When Virion saw him for the first time he almost fainted, he asked me what had happened and I told him I didn't know, evading his question; while Grandma Rinia gave me a look of disapproval, but no one could know how it came to be like this, starting with the fact that even I didn't know how to explain it properly

During the process I tried mana vision; when Rex hunted I followed him to find out what the mana movement looked like in hopes of learning the mana rotation before I met Silvia, but I noticed something that I didn't take into account and that was that by manipulating his core and influencing his element he created a kind of racial characteristic, Now I could set his legs on fire and light his snout, when I thought of telling him not to burn the forest I noticed that he was more aware of it than it, he used it to the minimum when necessary and turned it off after he finished, I finally managed to understand the limit of mana's vision is five minutes, The mana and stamina consumption is great, at least in my current, immature body

For mana builds the consumption was too high, it wasn't a joke the load it exerted on me, the first time I tried fifty percent of my mana was suddenly emptied and my core could barely withstand the pressure exerted on it; So to make it moderately usable I'd have to make small, throwable blades as a sort of secret move, something more than that put my core under a lot of pressure

Finally, being close to advancing to the orange stage, I practiced to be able to use the elements and the results were good, all the basic natures could be used

At first it was a bit difficult because I couldn't have a clear image in my mind of the element in question, but after focusing my thoughts, remembering its descriptions of my past life to relate them and be able to use them, that ended up in a very positive result

For the deviants it required much more effort and mana, so their progress was difficult, as well as arduous, at this time I could only project ice, lightning and some sound, but it was very weak, as for gravity I had the concept, but I could not project it, for the case of deviants of other races it seems that a specific proportion of the mana of each element was needed and I could not find it, I'd have to meet Alea and Aya if I wanted to be able to see their abilities firsthand

So another half a year went by and I already had four years in the dark yellow stage

In this half year I have become closer to Virion, he asked me to stay a few times in the castle so that he could better monitor my training, but I didn't stay too long yet, as I didn't want to leave Grandma Rinia alone for too long

Also the elves didn't look kindly on me mostly, Tessia, on the other hand, looked like a sore thumb at first, but after a few exchanges; we ended up getting closer, but I tried to keep my distance because I was worried he wouldn't get lost in the woods and Arthur would never come

In that course of time I managed to experiment, with another beast of voluntary mana cough!, after Rex hit it a little, I know it may seem cruel, but you have to make some small sacrifices to be able to grow my strength and better understand my abilities and I didn't intend to let them die just like that

Another thing I understood is that I can't manipulate the mana that resides inside the bodies completely, since one of the flying beast that Rex hit and decided to volunteer showed rejection when I included in its core a bit of mana different from the one it already had, in Rex's case he had a neutral composition and could increase one to force his evolution and he would just have to adapt, but that E-class Alicanto Ravez mana beast that Rex caught, had mixed elements of lightning and wind

When I tried to add water mana, the results weren't good, so as soon as she showed rejection, I stopped inducing that mana, instead, I started forcing wind mana, she ended up being called Ingram and also ended up in a state of suspended hibernation

But this time I didn't wait too long and on the second day of hibernating I asked Grandma Rinia to observe me, because I wanted to know exactly what she looked like, the process of evolution in her eyes, at first it was very difficult to get that feeling, Grandma Rinia was about to leave thinking that I had played a joke on her, But as soon as he felt the fluctuation in the air and I felt the cold sensation in my lower back, with that liquid again coursing through my body we both concentrated on the process

When we finished Grandma Rinia was very surprised, she said that it was a use of the Aether, that left me in shock for a few seconds, Grandma shook me off the shoulders asking if it was some kind of deviant emitter, but as far as I knew no, after talking to her and checking my back again nothing was found, I was just so tired, that was all you could see

Grandma Rinia was very worried, but I promised her, that I would not use it until she knew what it is, as the consequences it has, and that she would please not mention this to anyone

Because I had my guesses as to what it might be, though I wasn't sure, and until I found out it was better that no one knew

So, two weeks later, I set off to look for Silvia's location with the amulet that my grandmother gave me and the location I had in my mind, according to Dicathen's map, with the details of my past life, I really hoped that this amulet would help me find Silvia

A lot of people will wonder why give him so many abilities from the start, but I'll ask them what the hell they're going to do to fight against a continent of gods, if you don't have the minimum preparation

In the next chapters, clarifications of the powers of the prota will be given and more or less after the attack on the castle of the council much later the origin of the prota will be revealed.

Please leave your impressions and thank you very much for Reading

By the way, in the comments leave an image of what Rex looks like but imagine him more chibi

Bab 8: Looking for Silvia

POV Julián Kingscrown

And I'm lost, damn it, I've been at this for two weeks now, I thought it wouldn't take so long, and this amulet hasn't reacted once.

The only ones who seem happy are Rex and Ingram, they seem like they've never lived in the forest or that I never take them out "hah I'm tired"

I got off Rex to rest after several hours of searching, my rations will last another week, from then on I'll have to hunt and be careful about what I consume.

Fortunately, Ingram is very useful, after that black Rapacious Alicanto began to evolve, its feathers changed to a very light and vivid green color, it seems to still retain some of its lightning mana, it has some yellow spots, its tail extended and branched into a series of tails, and its facial features changed.

But that's just the physical part, because magically it can use its mana to probe a specific area with its wind in a 10-meter radius, in addition to launching wind blades and some electric currents, which are weak compared to a B, A, or S class, but it's valuable that it can do so.

That gave it many points as an explorer, fortunately I decided to help it reach class C before going out to look for Silvia, it was 2 months of hard work for that, but the result is surprising and it seems that it can grow more like Rex.

And yet we haven't found Silvia's hideout, not even a clue.

Could it be that the map the author published was different from reality? I was frustrated, I didn't think it would be easy, but now it seems like an impossible mission, I decided to stop thinking and wait to set up camp, since Ingram would alert us if there were other humans or elves in the area.

The search continues for two more weeks, I was beginning to think about retreat, it had been a whole month and there were no traces of anything.

I was walking on a bed of rocks next to a small waterfall to collect water and purify it, just at that moment my feet tripped, I fell on a puddle that was diagonal to me and I got wet "ahhhhhh why is it so difficult"

Just at that moment I heard the voice that I had been looking for in my mind

"Ha ha ha ha little one, don't you get bored of playing survival in the woods"

----------------------------------------------------------

POV Silvia Indrath

I've been here for a few months, after escaping from Agrona and hiding in Dicathen

I know I don't have much time left, I have a fatal wound and I can't heal it in any way after all my arts of Eter are based on Spatium and Aevum

I'm not as skilled as my mother in the arts of ether Vivum, I knew better than anyone, that a year and a few months would be all I was allowed to be in this world, but I wanted to pass on my will and my daughter to someone I could trust before that happened, but I hadn't found anyone yet

After a few more weeks of hiding here in this cave, I saw a little boy of about four or five years old riding on a wolf with intense red fur; I had never seen anything like that mana beast, but I knew it had great potential for growth, it caught my attention that such a small boy was riding it and wandering through the woods,

The mana beast seemed very obedient even though they had no bond formed and followed his instructions, but it used to steal some food from the boy when he wasn't looking, it was very funny to see when the boy realized and started running after the wolf to hit him with his sheathed sword, another thing that surprised me was that the boy had already awakened and seemed very skilled in his mana control, but that was just the tip of the iceberg, I could see him use several elements to enhance himself, including some deviated ones, his affinity with mana was tremendous and the mana fluctuating uniquely around him was astonishing, but his body couldn't keep up with him

He still had to develop to show all his potential, but he was a promising prospect and gradually he was getting closer to the heir I wanted, I kept watching him for some time

Along with them there was another mana beast, this time a bird, but with a much more exquisite appearance than the normal ones, if the Wolf looked like a tyrant, the Bird looked like an Empress with her emerald green feathers and her endings on the tail and head gave her a majestic impression

That Bird also had great potential for growth, where did that little boy get those two mana beasts so special and besides he was already an awakened mage with a control that many adults on this continent would dream of having

I was very surprised by what I followed, watching the boy to try to get answers, so I lasted four weeks watching him harass the slavers who wandered through the woods and helping some elves or humans he saw

But it seemed that he was looking for something or someone, as he constantly moved in circles around the area checking the rock formations, this boy, somehow, seemed to know that I was here and was looking for me

I was a bit worried because that shouldn't be possible, I didn't know anyone on this continent yet and even less they should know the area where I stay

I thought it might be some envoy from my father Kezess or Agrona looking for me pretending to be a minor, but after watching him for two and a half weeks I was completely sure

This boy didn't come from either of them, he was a completely normal human, with a great affinity and talent for mana, at least on the surface, but it was obvious that he was anything but common

He also made me laugh many times with his situations, where the wolf constantly tried to get the bigger part of the food and his efforts to look calm when he couldn't find me, besides ending up tripping because he couldn't control his short limbs very well, like now in that waterfall

That's why I decided to trust him, bring him here to find out why he was looking for me, if I could I wanted to teach him some things that he didn't know and could help him in the future

Besides, depending on his actions, maybe pass on my will and my daughter to him

----------------------------------------------------------

POV Julian Kingscrown

After hearing that voice in my head, a smile formed on my face

"I don't know what you're talking about, miss, I'm just a poor boy lost in the woods" I said waving my arms in denial, while looking around for her

"You don't seem surprised at all, you're very calm to be talking to a voice in your head" Silvia said in a mocking tone

"My grandmother does quite unusual rituals at home sometimes, so I might be going crazy" I replied in a mocking tone too

"Ha ha ha ha you're a very bad liar you know, although you might be crazy for your age; after all looking for me for just over two weeks, while harassing some groups of slavers to free elves and humans is not something that someone normal your age would do" she said laughing

My body stiffened, I didn't think she would watch me for so long, but it wasn't so bad after all I came here looking for her

"How could this little boy know about you miss" I said in a condescending tone

"You're terrible at lying, maybe you fool others, but not me and wow you were right, after all you were looking for me, besides you knew I was here" she said in a cautious tone

"Okay I give up, I was looking for you" I replied in a tone of resignation raising my hands in surrender, after all I didn't want to be rude to her

"I have my ways to know about you, but I swear I don't come with the intention of hurting you, I'm looking for your guidance and wisdom, besides being able to meet you" I said quickly to avoid her leaving for fear that I might be a threat

"You talk as if you know who or what I am" she said again this time, but in a curious tone

"I know some things, but this is not the best place to say them, if you're worried that I'll hurt you if I find your dwelling, you can rest assured, I'm willing to make any kind of deal with you to compensate you" I said bowing in a sign of respect

"Hmmm you're not a normal child; I knew it since I saw you for the first time wandering through the woods, but this time I feel like I'm talking to someone much older" She said in a thoughtful tone

I waited for seconds that seemed eternal, until I heard her voice again

"Alright, I'll guide you to my dwelling and bring those two mana beasts that are with you" she said in an interested tone

She showed me her dwelling in a mental flashback that passed through my mind, just as she did with Arthur in the novel

I started heading there when Ingram came back and we arrived at dusk before it got dark

And we entered through the grotto where I assumed she was

When I fell deeply into the cave I landed gracefully by infusing wind into my legs and fell on one knee, presenting my respects to Silvia as a noble would to the king, but there was a problem and it was that she was facing away from me, damn why nothing goes well for me lately

"Fascinating; your control and correct timing of execution in the use of your mana, as well as your adaptability to unforeseen situations, everything was perfect, it's a pity that your body and core still can't keep up with you" she said in a playful tone

Ufff it seems that she didn't notice anything "I thank you very much for your words miss" I said turning around with a smile bowing

"Do you want to try falling again this time looking at me?" She replied in a playful tone

My face turned red with embarrassment, clearly she was going to notice, I cursed myself for my own naivety

"It's not necessary" I said trying to look less affected by my mistake

"Ha ha ha ha you're very funny boy" she said

I didn't expect this, but Silvia seemed to be a quite cheerful person unlike the little that was seen of her in the novel, she definitely conveys the feeling of warmth and calmness that benevolent people have

"Well, I'm not going to bother you anymore, since you seem very embarrassed, instead, I'm very curious to know why you're looking for me and how you knew I was here" Silvia expressed in an interrogative tone

Since I decided to meet Silvia before her eventual death, I was imagining the pros and cons of telling her what I knew, it could be dangerous to do so, but, I wanted to trust probably the only person of the Indrath clan who looked favorably on the lesser beings

Besides, I could learn a little more about Agrona and Kezess through her, that's why I decided to tell her what I knew about this world, how it was part in my old life of a tragic novel and my intentions of wanting to save them, maybe even she knew, who or what really brought me to this world

After finishing telling her, that this world was part of a novel, with some details that no one else knew, without revealing too much information about the future, especially the one related to Silvie and Arthur, besides telling her that I wanted to do something to change the fate that awaited this world

She was thinking for a long time, while looking me in the eyes, as if she was stripping my soul, to know whether to believe me or not

"You know, I tried to see some things about you with my abilities, but I couldn't find anything, you're surrounded by a kind of black veil, that's how you look in my eyes every time I try to see through you, but I can see that you were indeed not from this world in your previous life, that's why I'm going to believe you" she said looking me straight in the eyes

"But still I want to ask you, why do you want to help save this world?, what do you gain by doing so? Why risk and give it all for this world?", she said in an authoritative tone and with the pressure that only transcendental beings like her can exert
