After the embarrassing incident that happened yesterday, Rynan made a serious promise to himself that he would never get caught reading books in the middle of the night again. He wanted to spend his time more efficiently learning about this fascinating new world he had been reborn into, since knowledge was power in any reality. He absolutely didn't want his new life to end up as fucked up and miserable as his previous one had been. This was his second chance, and he was determined to make the most of it by becoming as strong and smart as possible.
―Storage room, I'm back for round two! Good thing that Maria forgot to close the door after yesterday, or else I'd be completely screwed and stuck in my crib!
Ryn got down into a proper praying position on the wooden floor, closing his eyes tightly and putting his tiny hands together in gratitude. He spent a few moments genuinely thanking Maria in his thoughts for being forgetful enough to leave the storage room unlocked. Without her mistake, he never would have been able to continue his secret education about magic and this new world. He felt like the luckiest baby in existence as he prepared for another learning session.
He crawled into the dark, small room once again with excited determination, immediately looking at the thick magic book he had left lying on the ground yesterday. The book seemed to be calling out to him, promising to reveal all the secrets of this magical world he now lived in. His tiny hands reached out eagerly as he approached the source of knowledge that would change his life forever. The dim light filtering through the doorway made the golden letters on the cover seem to glow mysteriously.
"Be Oeoe gudei mahisqoe?"
(Translation: Beginner's Guide For Magic?)
He carefully opened the heavy book with both of his small hands, struggling slightly with the weight as he flipped to the very first page. The pages were made of thick, cream-colored paper that felt expensive and important under his tiny fingers. The text was written in elegant black ink that looked both ancient and magical at the same time. His heart raced with excitement as he prepared to dive into the world of magic and spells.
"Magic for Beginners, written by Alonze Henia"
He slowly flipped to the next page, taking his time to make sure he didn't damage the precious book in any way. The author's name sounded foreign and mystical, making him wonder what kind of powerful wizard had written this guide. Everything about this book felt special and important, like it contained secrets that could change his entire life. His baby eyes were wide with wonder as he continued reading.
"Magic is a complex set of commands that makes the unnatural become natural through the manipulation of mystical forces. The basic building blocks for all magic are called Eons, which naturally exist in the air around us at all times. Eons are constantly being produced by the world itself, and without these Eons, we wouldn't be able to replenish our personal Eon Stock, which is located in the abdomen area. This internal storage system circulates Eons throughout the entire body to distribute magical energy where it's needed most."
―Woah, that's incredibly cool and makes perfect sense!
Ryn thought to himself with growing excitement, before carefully flipping to the next page with his tiny right hand. The magic system was already sounding more organized and logical than he had expected, which made him even more eager to learn. His previous life had been filled with fantasy anime and manga, so this felt like a dream come true. He could barely contain his excitement as he continued reading about the fundamentals of magic.
"There are many different ways to use magic in this world, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some ancient techniques have been completely lost to time and forgotten by modern civilization, while others are still waiting to be invented by future generations. The magical arts are constantly evolving as new discoveries are made by dedicated researchers and practitioners.
Here are the most well-known and commonly used methods:
Incantations—This involves chanting a specific phrase that has been imbued with concentrated Eons, which will cause the desired spell to activate automatically. This is by far the most well-known and widely practiced way of using magic throughout the world. The more powerful and complex the magic spell is, the longer and more complicated the required incantation becomes.
Magic circles—These are mostly used in magical devices and enchanted tools created by skilled craftsmen and enchanters. They require special chalk that has been imbued with pure Eons, and different symbols and patterns will produce completely different magical effects upon activation. To activate a magic circle, you must either use proper incantations or apply Eon-imbued blood to the center.
Magic writing—This advanced technique involves using your finger to write magical symbols directly onto thin air itself. It works similarly to traditional incantations, but uses precise writing and symbols instead of spoken words. This method requires incredible focus and control to master properly.
Instant cast—This is an extremely difficult technique to master, since it involves completely clearing your mind of all thoughts and distractions. The user must chant the entire incantation mentally in just milliseconds, causing the spell to activate almost immediately without any visible preparation."
Ryn flipped to the next exciting page, getting more and more excited about learning the actual spells and magical techniques. His tiny hands were practically trembling with anticipation as he imagined himself casting powerful magic in the future. The complexity of the magic system was amazing, and he could already see himself becoming a legendary wizard. Everything he was reading made him feel like he had been transported into his favorite fantasy anime.
"Beyond regular spells and basic magic techniques, there is an even more powerful and advanced technique that is used only by the highest-ranked mages in the world. This technique is completely unique to every individual person, and when I say unique, I mean absolutely unique—not a single person's version is exactly the same as another's.
This ultimate technique is called Ascension, and it is the ancient art of ascending the user's physical body far beyond its natural limits and restrictions. It was originally created by the legendary hero, Haniel Van Dorante, and will grant users incredible abilities like being able to completely manipulate elements such as fire itself. Masters of Ascension can kill even the most dangerous monsters with just a single devastating attack.
However, there is one important weakness that can disable any Ascension technique completely and instantly. While a user is actively using their Ascension power, there is a magical orb called a Point Blank that appears hidden somewhere within a 140 kilometer radius of their location. If this Point Blank orb is found and broken by an enemy, it will immediately cancel the user's Ascension and leave them vulnerable.
Only after taking a special Amplification test administered by a professional certified mage will you be officially allowed to use Ascension techniques naturally and safely."
―This is absolutely crazy and amazing! So, that means I can eventually use Domain Expansion, Kamehameha, Bankai, Super Saiyan, and all the other incredible techniques from my favorite anime!?!?!?!! That's fucking insane and beyond my wildest dreams!
Ryn exclaimed wildly in his thoughts, completely overwhelmed and flustered by the incredible magic system that existed in this new world. Eons, Ascension, and Magic—everything was so new, exciting, and full of endless possibilities that made his head spin with excitement. His baby heart was racing with pure joy as he realized he had been reborn into the perfect world for someone like him. This was going to be the greatest adventure of his life, and he couldn't wait to start his magical journey.
