Chapter 6 - Magic....

Wow that was a good sleep. However in order to keep my word I need to make sure I have these skills at the highest proficiency possible before then, and I think I know just the way....

'Well, time to get started. It seems as though magic would be the best one to to start with.' Yueliang thought to himself as he checked to make sure no one was in the room and that the doors were shut. After he had done this, he started pondering in his mind how to cast spells and move mana then thought back to the spell models that were downloaded in his brain. Then tried casting one. ??

A strange image appeared in his mind. There were various blue nodes, then one node that appeared to be the starting point shot out a white light to another node in the blink of an eye.

'It seems casting spells is done through spell models connecting successfully.' He thought to himself while focusing on casting a spell to understand different languages. Although in order to know if it would work, he would have to talk to others or listen to something.

After the line went to the next node, it began to shake, and Yueliang started getting a headache that grew with each passing moment. "What is going on he groaned to himself?" However once the connection broke, he passed out.

----about three hours later----

"At least it was only a level 2 spell." He said to himself as he woke up groggily. Then went to the bathroom to wash his face. However once he looked at himself, he was shocked. 'Why am I covered in blood. With this much blood I should be dead' He shouted in his mind.

"Master, you would have died, had I not intervened at the right moment. I used 100 of your experience points in order to cast a healing spell on you powerful enough to save your life. However, if I used one levels worth, I would have been able to heal you completely. For now you will need a few days to heal completely."

"Thank you once again yang. You really saved me there. It felt as though my head would have exploded."

"You are right master, it was about to. For now I would recommend one of two things. One you could start by only using level one spells, or two, you can go to the store and buy talents, perks, traits, etcetera. However seeing your low point count, I would say you can only do the first. Also, although you have been given knowledge of the spells, and how to cast, as you got the best magic basics, it does not mean you know how to use them yet. That requires practice. However not because you cannot buy it, but simply because if you actually research the spell you can customize the spells heavily, making them have different traits, not just stronger, faster, or other things." Yang spoke seriously when saying these things.

"Alright, thank you Yang. I will take your advice and work on that." Yue said to yang.

"One more thing master, as for martial arts, blacksmithing, alchemy, and enchanting. With the knowledge given to you, you are already capable of the best basics. However you will actually need to practice them to become more proficient and fully utilize the knowledge given to you. Although just for doing a demonstration for others, I would say the only thing you need to work on right now is magic. Also one more thing, I recommend doing some missions for coins later in order to buy the equipment for all of these skills, and lastly, I wanted to let you know, you are truly blessed. It seems you were the rare one person in a millennia to be born with the 'magic control' talent, however if that was not enough already, you also got the 'magic material exemption' talent" Yang said, trying to give Yue at least some good news.

"That is wonderful yang, thank you." Yue said joyfully, as it meant more time to work on spells. Then thought to himself 'I still have to check my notifications later.'

"Wwaait did you said one in a millennia Yang?" Yue was stuttering with his words when he spoke.

"Yes master, although you could buy it in the system, both of these are two of the most expensive things to buy. This talent actually allows you to control the flow of mana, which means you could cast the spells of the ancients, the elves, and other races. However please do not be reckless, at least wait a little bit until you can at least cast level 4 or 5 spells with ease. As for magic material exemption, it is pretty self explanatory, but basically you do not need supplies to supplement or even cast your spells." Yang said calmly but cautiously.

"This sounds awesome, but other races are actually real?" Yue asked half hoping, and half skeptical.

"Yes master, however most tend to use spells to change their appearance or live in spatial rifts, or moved to other planets, and live with alien races. Also once you get better at magic, you will be able to sense magic's flow so to speak and thus have many more abilities, and skills. Even being able to discern spells being cast, and tell when there are spells on things are just the bare minimum."

"This is too awesome, I really cannot wait to grow in magic and the other skills."

'Well While I am waiting to heal, I should check my notifications.' He thought to himself. Then said "notifications."

'I am amazed that I could level up so much so quickly. Ah there is that great feeling again...' He thought to himself, then a few seconds later he passed out.

----6 minutes later----

After he woke up, he got back to his magic practice for the rest of the day. After about 6 hours of headache inducing practice he finally succeeded in producing a small fire ball, and felt overjoyed. This was not just because of the success but also because when a spell completes properly it makes you feel calm yet happy because you can feel the mana flow similar to water rushing and finally being released from a dam. It took hours because he had to wait for a hour for his mana to replenish after each try and level one spells although not normally lethal when failing to cast, it is very painful.

'It is annoying that I forgot that I could replenish my mana faster by circulating my mana. The more I practice the stronger I will get and the faster it will replenish.' He thought to himself while feeling kind of sad that he did not even try this as he was so focused on casting.

Now that he has successfully conjured this small red fireball the size of his hand, he opened his window because he wanted to see its range and power. So he sent it into the sky, roughly measuring it in his head. After about a 10 meter distance it blew up with dark red flames spreading in the sky about 1 meter in every direction then it disappeared without a trace.

"Fortunately no one was around to see that. At least I hope, or this will be troublesome. Well it could be worse, if it caused damage, I do not even know how I would begin explaining if I was caught." Yueliang thought to himself.

'I have practiced for so long, I am going to go to sleep. I can practice more later and, I have to buy the equipment for my other skills. Well good night.' He thought to himself as he drifted off in his bed after closing the window and getting in his bunk.
