26 Memories(corrected)

[author: hi everyone, I just got back from the dead (aka exam period). These days I'll try to load more chapters per day if possible. PS from now on I will no longer use the term mana, but rather the term falna]

Arriving in the room, Mark locked the door and heard the Guide's voice again.

[One minute to midnight.]

'What should I do?'

[Lie down on the bed and leave the fragment near your head.]

Following the instructions, he lay down on the bed, resting his head on the pillow, and placed the fragment next to it.

[the process will begin in a few seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, beginning.]

When the countdown ended, Mark felt something inside him begin to come out and envelop the fragment that was now emitting light. The moment his soul absorbed the fragment he was struck by strong drowsiness, which made him fall asleep.

--- First person pov ---

'Where am I... it's all dark, but I feel too tired to check...'

'Tutump' 'tutump'

'Is it a beating heart? But where does it come from? '

'Tutump' 'tutump'

In that absolute darkness it was the only noise i could heard, but hearing it, made me relax.

'It's such a common yet nostalgic sound.'

"Come on, Mrs, do one last push."

"UHMM !!"

'Where do these sounds come from, wait... now I see a light.'

"Another push!"

"UHMM !!"

"Come on dear, you can do it!"

'I feel as if something is pulling me' - But before I could do anything that force completely pushed me towards the light that blinded me.

"Uwaaa!"

"Congratulations ma'am, she's a great little girl."

"Give it to me... let me see her please."

"Of course."

'I still hear many voices, but some are familiar'

When I finally got to see, I realized I was in a hospital.

"Uwaa!"

'Who is the crying baby? Wait now that I notice I can't move. '

As various thoughts ran through my head, the doctor handed me over to the woman who was lying on the bed.

'Wait, that woman is familiar... right, she is Selene's mother, but she is much younger.'

When the doctor placed me in Selene's mother's arms, I understood what was happening.

'Could this be a memory of Selene?'

"Uwaa!"

"look what a lively young lady we have here, come on honey come and see"

"Haha look how cute she is, she took it all from you."

After talking to each other, they turned to me / Selene with a smile full of joy.

"Welcome to the world Selene." -They spoke at the same time.

Just seeing their smiling faces gave me all the memories we had together. A person understands the value of a thing only when he loses it.

'Ah... I miss you father in law, mother in law.' - With that last thought, the darkness flooded me.

--- General pov ---

Just before dawn, Mark quickly got up from the sweaty bed, while some tears streamed from his eyes. Wiping them with the back of his hand, he asked the Guide a question.

'Guide was that a memory?'

[Exact host, the memories shape the soul of a person, and even if the brain cannot remember your birth, your soul can.]

'Hey Guide... is it possible to return to the Earth?'

Mark thought he was used to this world, but seeing the people who treated him like family after his parents died, made him realize how lucky he was in his past. life.

[...unfortunately host, I think it is impossible.]

'Impossible eh...' - Getting out of bed he began to get ready.

[What does the host intend to do?]

"The fact of not being able to return hurts my heart." - He said as he put his hand to his heart.

"I made a promise to them to make Selene happy. Unfortunately, I failed before and I was about to fail again. " -The memory alone made Mark's fist clench tightly.

"I will no longer let the fear of getting hurt stop me."

With those words he left the room and headed towards the outside of the building, heading towards the inn where he had left his things.

When he arrived at the inn, the first person he saw was Ryuu, who immediately ran to him as soon as she saw him.

"Mark are you ok? Two days ago you were seriously injured. " - She asked him worriedly while checking if he still had any injuries.

"Don't worry Ryuu, I'm fine. I wanted to take the things I left here and take them away, now I'm part of the Loki Familia. " - He said smiling.

"Are you okay after everything that's happened? They aren't threatening you, are they? " -She asked him seriously.

"No Ryuu and I have already taken my revenge." -He said as he pointed to the shoulder.

Remembering Bete's condition, Ryuu felt a shiver behind her back.

"If that's what you've decided I won't bother you anymore, however, if you have some free time, come here, I bet everyone will miss you." - She said smiling.

By nodding his head, Mark went back to his room, where he put on the armor he had bought and put the short sword on his waist and as usual. Once he was ready, he went down the stairs and greeted Ryuu.

"Well Ryuu, see you next time." -He was about to leaving but he heard Ryuu's voice.

"Mark I don't know what you're looking for, just... don't overdo it. We have only one life."

Pausing for a second without turning around, Mark continued to walk towards the dungeon.

After a few minutes, he had already arrived and hurried down to the 4th floor, where he first wanted to practice magic.

'Limit break' 'clank'

After activating the ability, Mark concentrated and his vision filled with blue lights.

'First step is done'

Concentrating, he tried to bring the blue lights closer. For a few minutes, nothing happened, but after a while, some lights settled on his hand even though it didn't last long.

'Let's try again.'

He repeated the same process a dozen times until he was able to hold some of the lights in his hand.

'What should I do at this point?' - He actually only remembered these passages, he didn't know how to turn these lights into electricity.

[Try to use your imagination to transform the lights into electricity and then try to calculate the path of the shot.]

Following what the Guide said, he imagined the lights turning into electricity. After concentrating enough, the lights began to feel like crackling electricity.

'Zip' 'zip'

Then using the mathematical theories he studied in his past life, he imagined that the electricity he was holding used air as a conductor and hit the wall.

'Zap'

After imagining the scene, a small lightning bolt shot from his hand and hit the wall. Approaching the landing point a saw that the trajectory was right, but lacked power.

'As a first attempt it was not bad, what I need to fix is ​​the casting speed and then I can take care of the power. Let's try again '

What Mark didn't understand is that what he did, was amazing. People have to use a chant or call the name of the spell, to attract the Falna, but he commanded it directly. This might not seem like much, but if his Falna manipulation improves in the future, he could remove the Falna next to a wizard and deny him the ability to cast spells.

'Zap' 'zap' 'zap'

After continuous exercises, he was now able to cast the spell in 2 seconds, which can already be considered fast.

"Haaa... I think if I keep going on, I will faint. I don't want to die in the dungeon for such a mistake."

After practicing for a long time, obviously the Falna inside him was running out. Just being able to manipulate Falna doesn't mean he could cast infinite spells. Each person who unlocks the status contains within themselves a pocket of Falna and to cast spells, you need the external falna that acts as fuel and the internal one to the person who plays the role of a trigger.

'No more magic for today, let's move on to hand-to-hand combat.' - With this in mind, he headed to the 5th floor, where he met a frog-shaped monster.

The moment the frog saw Mark, it let out its tongue at extreme speed trying to hit Mark. Seeing the tongue coming, he moved to the side and without hesitation cut the tongue. Now that the monster couldn't attack him from a distance, Mark sprinted towards the monster who tried to run away by jumping. Unfortunately, it was slower and Mark killed it easily.

'Well let's continue like this.'
