•Blood Gacha•

What if you found that there is more to this world than catches the eye. What if there was a great secret. A story forgotten by time. If you found a way to awaken ancient powers buried deep underground, or if you could receive a gift for a drop of blood. Follow Konrad on the road to greatness as he unravels the secrets of the past and gets stronger, thanks to a mysterious lottery that demands his blood. (It's not an isekai or a system...but maybe it is muahaha ;) You'll have to find out ) I'll be updating every 2-3 days because I'm currently studying (Curse the damn virus!) and I fell like its the optimal time so I don't fell rushed or anything like this.

Plans and a small time skip.

"The needle points there, so if we add this information to the map...Oh that's cool the map did it by itself!"Said Konrad as he was working on the location made by the Compass Of Random Journey.

The Map Of Revealment automatically read the direction from the compass by apparently reading his intent so his work was actually much easier but he was left with a single line passing through half of the planet and he still needed to pinpoint the exact location.

He had two choices. He could just go in the straight line by visiting every country the line was passing through, or he could move away from the line and make another line on the map that would cross with the first one. but it still posed a problem because if he wanted a more precise location, whatever his choice was, he would need to travel abroad...

It became clear for Konrad that this journey would be a long term project. He sighed in disappointment. He was really eager to go for an adventure for once.

*WIGGLE*

"I know Tavy. But I was so eager to go!" Konrad replied and careers the blue jelly.

*WIGGLE WIGGLE*

"Haha you're right. I guess I'd just focus on my research for now. Wanna help?" Konrad asked amused.

*HAPPY WIGGLE*

*I guess that means Yes." He grinned and together with Tavy started to work.

__________

His first project for the weak was actually figuring out more about the Amulet. He had it for a short while, but it was enough for him to copy the formation and examine the material.

He had to sneak around with Tavy, but luckily It was finally summer, so he was mostly in his room.

During his research Konrad made a small prototype formation that contained only the formule of Aura Of Ignorance in the weakened state. He wanted to have a place where Tavy could sit even when people walked into the room. The formation was engraved on a piece of wood in the same way as most of his formations. He actually became quiet proficient with the chisel thanks to him carving all his formations.

He also used one of his Gemstone Draws and got himself a nice piece of Jade.

It was a D ranked gemstone that could contain only 200 points of Mana, but it was enough for him. The formation was weak in order to only work on normal people and then further weakened from the original because of bigger simplicity. The 200 point could easily last for an entire day, especially if someone charged it every now and then. Putting the Gemstone and the formation together was actually pretty simple when he knew the right runes to do it.

With that project completed Konrad, made two other formations that muffled sound and made him invisible. Konrad was really excited when his body disappeared from view as he was testing it. It took him another weak to complete but at the end of those two weeks Konrad was completely familiar with those three formations and was ready to attempt casting them as spells.

The Invisibility was surprisingly the easiest to cast from the three. It was based on light magic, though a bit on a different principle to the light orbs. Where the light magic he used until now was about shaping light, the Invisibility was about redirecting it in such a way that the person affected appeared to others as if it wasn't there. He was originally worried about being temporarily blinded but thankfully the spell had it covered. The light that hit his eyes, would also be redirected so that he could still see but there was no shadow of two floating eyeballs on the ground with Konrad wherever he went.

It was a great way of concealment and Konrad felt like a real wizard when using it. Of course his 51 point of Mana that now rised to 55, wouldn't last him for longer than half an hour but it was still great achievement for him.

Now the sound muffling was actually the hardest for whatever reason. The formation removed vibrations it the immediate area around Konrad using a bit of air magic but it also caused Konrad himself to only hear his own body. He had to figure out how the spell blocked the sound and lock only the sounds coming out while allowing sounds from outside to enter. At first the spell caused resonance similar to when you put microphone close to the speaker, causing Konrad to nearly become deaf but he soon created sound reduction add-ons that actually made him hear clearer than normal. It was something he would need to research later. Magically amplified senses were something he could use after all...

Now for the Aura of Concealment. It actually wasn't that much hard to use. He just needed to figure out how to specify the strength of the Aura and who wouldn't be affected. He obviously wanted Tavy to still see him. The hard part was actually to figure out how the mind magic actually worked. It was a completely new concept for him, one that could very well be disastrous if done wrong and he was extremely glad to poses a working model.

Of course all that was complicated but he also had one other thing he had to figure out...How to actually cast magic on himself?

It took him an entire day of trying before he finally succeed. He figured that he needed to stop casting with his hand and learn to use his whole body instead. It was hard but not undoable. It would be also a very useful skill in the future, if he found himself in a situation where he couldn't use his hands.

All in all Konrad was very happy with his current achievements, so he moved to work on a special carrier for Tavy. It was a mix between an open cat-carrier and Aura of Concealment. He could carry Tavy around, and no one would notice. Since, creating magical formations using magical metals was still not something he could do, his formations were big and still used his blood.

Konrad completed the carrier, when the third week of sumer had finally ended. He was about to go to sleep when his mom came into the room.

"Hey son. I was just asked by my friend if we were up to go to Greece together with her. What do you say? Do you want to go? Sebastian was almost ready to start packing when I told him about it haha!" His mom informed Konrad.

His eyes lit up suddenly.

"Of course! I'd love to go! When do we leave?" He asked.

"Next week. The plane is leaving on monday." His mom said with a smile. "I'll inform Beth, that we'll be there, Ok?"

"Sure." Konrad smiled happily. His mom smiled back and kissed his forehead.

"Good night sweety."

"Good night Mom."

She left the room and Konrad lied back on the bed.

*WIGGLE*

"Yeah. Good night Tavy. Love you too..."

Somewhere in a completely different multiverse...

A beautiful teenage girl with purple eyes and pure black hair suddenly jerked up from her sleep.

"My Daddy senses are tingling! There's another one like me!" She exclaimed to herself with a grin and then went back to sleep with her family, snuggling into her husband.
