Chapter 8: Chapter 8 – Preparations [2]

 

I am now four years old. The last two years have been excessively difficult to research magic theory. My parents have been putting all their attention into me for hours a day, me only managing to sneak a book from their library when my mom had to go out and help one of her friends with something.

 

What I learned from the beginner's book was actually quite astounding. There was a theory within it that stated there was a possibility magic could be learned before one’s awakening. 

 

If this theory was true, I could likely advance my plans even further ahead and be able to grab one of the items that would be essential for the future, the [Chameleon’s Skin]. If one were able to bring this item to one of the awakened artisans there was a possibility of making an [Obscuring Cloak].

 

The [Obscuring Cloak] makes one seem to fade into the background making it less noticeable. This would be the most important item in a list of things needed if I wanted to get the [Unbound Apple].

 

The biggest issue I will have is finding one of the Enlarged Chameleons. These beasts had long since migrated to this Realm. This realm was leagues greater than the Realm of Beasts as the Enlarged Chameleons became apex predators of many habitats.

 

In fact, one of the reasons the Realm of Advancement took a significant hit to its resources was the fact that its ecosystem was collapsing right under its very nose.

 

The worst part was that people couldn’t even realize what was going on thanks to the properties of the Enlarged Chameleon’s skin.

 

The reason I was so confident in being able to beat these beasts in combat was because of their low tiering. They were Lower 10 Tier Beasts meaning that they could be beaten by a mere G Rank awakened.

 

These beasts had gained this Tiering because of their docile nature and its desire to hide instead of fight.

 

I had learned this during the research of Beasts and Monsters.

 

Now there was only one thing left for me to do. Figure out how to actually put this theory into reality.

 

My current issue was the fact that being able to use the magic would actually require me to eat a Monster’s magic stone.

 

The only thing I can do is ask my parents, what’s the worst they can say?

 

“Sorry sweetheart, there is no way an even semi-responsible parent would provide their kid with a Monster’s magic stone.”

 

‘Fuck’

Ok, so Plan A is a failure, however, there is one more thing I can think of. 

 

‘What if the fact it’s a Monster’s magic stone is irrelevant, and it just has to be an object with magic imbued into it.’

 

Well, it’s worth a shot now the only question was what to use. My eyes drifted around the house as I tried to find a small object with magic imbued into it.

 

That’s when I saw it, there was a ring left on one of the ebony cabinets that were placed around the large house.

 

I could tell that it had to have magic because of the dark blue jewel on it shimmering. I grabbed a chair from nearby as I was still too small to reach on top of things more than 120 cm tall, after all I was still only 90 cm, it appeared I would end up shorter than both my father and mom who were standing at 190 cm and 188 cm respectively.

‘Well time is wasting, SCREW IT, down the hatch.’

 

I downed the ring in one gulp.

*A week later*

—----------------

 

‘Well, that fucking sucked.’ 

 

Roughly a day after consuming the ring my body had started to get feverish and resulted in my being put to bed. I felt a constant aching filling my body as I began to feel something inside of me changing.

 

The ring was still lodged in my stomach and wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon from what I could tell. 

 

The only good news from what I could tell was that my body had definitely been opened to magic as when my mom came to help me eat some soup, I had been able to sense the energy radiating off of her.

 

But this sensation didn’t last, when my father came home from work was when I truly was aware of what it was. My father radiated an immense amount of energy in a jagged pattern almost feeling agonizing to be in his radius.

 

I was able to excuse myself whenever I was in his presence by simply saying that I had to go to the bathroom or that I was still feeling well and then pretending to go to sleep.

*Another Month Later*

—---------

 

I was finally able to use magic to an extent, but I would be able to practice it for much longer as I was approaching the time where I would be forced into going to school.

 

The magic I was able to use was limited as the recovery time of the magic was far too lengthy due to the fact I wasn’t able to recover it from the atmosphere willingly but had to wait for it to permeate my body over time.

 

However, I was able to start training with it by outputting the magic in a few ways.

 

By focusing on the atmosphere, I was able to sense the particles of mana in it and was able to recognize them thanks to reading the second book in the series of Magic Theory books. And since I already had a plan for what I would need to do in the future I chose which elements I would need to practice the most for my plan to have the best chance at success.

 

I would practice air magic and fire magic. These two I felt were a versatile combination as by practicing both thoroughly I would also potentially be able to access their sub field of lightning and sound. But there was one more thing that could happen if I would be able to use them to an extremely proficient degree.

 

If I was able to combine the two, I could effectively create explosion magic.
