Chapter 3

Opening The Fundamentals, a different book

The Basics of Mages

"..The correct way to use mana for emission is to draw it into your body, circulate it into your mana circuit to stabilize and purify the diluted mana of the atmosphere, and then channel it into the appropriate conductor (a staff, wand, or ring of some kind) with the incantations as a mental controller for your will into shaping the mana into whatever spell you want.."

*…The more potent the spell, The longer it takes to gather mana from the environment, store it in your mana root, purify and condense it, and then channel and perform."

"Mages will note that they have a special aptitude for some elements (Air, Water, Fire, and Earth), but with enough training, they can become adequate in the fundamentals of all elements. This is because emission involves exerting focused mana into a specific spell."

"flip, flip"

The basis of a knight.

"Compared to emitters, acquiring nearby mana takes substantially less time, a knight must move quickly and precisely to be effective, drawing aura from their souls as aura doesn't exist in the air which mana does."

This was where it got interesting….

Knights can't pull aura from their environment, and their methods of using aura were quite similar to using Divinity. Because there was no divinity in the air to draw from and produce a phenomenon from, there were no different types of mages in my previous world of Armageddon.

His gaze tensed as I read on.

"….A knight requires adequate mana distribution into strengthening sections of the body, Depending on how the user deems fit, While a knight may appear straightforward at first appearance, it needs considerable bodily knowledge. Years of both mental and physical practice are necessary to effectively use the soul channels".

*There aren't any very noticeable differences in an elemental sense at first because a knight entails drawing aura in its purest form from the user's soul. However, a knight has more control over their aura, which leads to drastically diverse fighting styles through adaptation.*

"Backlash is a phenomenon that affects both sorts of practitioners. Depending on how intense the drain on the soul is, it results in great physical discomfort for a knight due to the depletion of the energy there. Backlash for mages results in breakage of the mana root. This is brought on by the practitioner using spells too frequently or too powerfully for his or her mana root to handle."

After putting the book down, he sat down on the tile floor and supported himself with his butt to absorb the wealth of knowledge he had just read.

Given the striking similarities between the divinity shells from my former world and my soul in this world, he found it hard to believe that he/she needed to be a young adolescent to manipulate mana or aura, especially if he/she is meant to become a god and reared as such, When divinity migrated into a single location, the divinity shells would form.

To test his theory, he began meditating, attempting to sense mana in his six-year-old self when...

"There you are! Young master, dinner is ready?"

A blue-haired maid with blue eyes and black skin discovered him!

(Shit, come on cute demon, I'm going to embark on my mission to become the world's best Magic knight! Do not portray me as a constipated Small boy)

Despite his age of six, he is smaller than the usual six-year-old child.

"Young master, let's go, it's time to eat," she gently held his hand in her soft hands, and he was forcibly taken away to have his dinner, which, unexpectedly, he wasn't empty by the time he discovered.

Since then, two weeks have passed.

Logan is now able to speak fluently, which surprised him after four years of silence and one year of Babbling as a baby.

It was then.

Knock! Knock!

"Young master!"

A knock was heard along with a voice that he had been hearing for the past seven years.

(Is it already time?)

Logan glanced at the digital clock that was powered by mana; it read 7:59 am. He appeared to be excessively preoccupied with thought.

Another knock followed by the maid's summons caused Logan to stroke his chin and clear his throat. He let rid of the ethereal tone and spoke in a loud, high voice.

"Indeed, Maid Eliza. I am up!"

"Can I enter?"

"Yes."

A stunning demon maid with blue hair and somewhat longer ears entered as the door opened

(similar to an elf in my previous world, but she is a demon)

(One question, though; she seems as though she hasn't aged at all and is, in fact, 250 years old)

She was Logan's caregiver and the leader of the future Wright; her name was Eliza. Logan, who was still wearing his jammies, caught her eye. "The lady and the master are expecting you. Please don new clothes.

"Because of how stunning the morning sky looked, I found myself losing track of time."

"Our young master is such an empathetic being, I must say" Eliza smiled and praised.

"Am I empathetic in that way?"

(No, I can merely state that my personalities and behaviors are complex.)

It was a very annoying and exhausting day that had been going on for the previous six years when Logan grinned and went to take a bath and change his clothes. (Well, a new body means I need to clean it all the time,) he explained.

Logan's expression wasn't very relaxed, probably because he knew what to expect.

It was an act that has been going on without a break for 6 years, and things will continue like that for several more years.

Logan consistently declines Eliza's offers to help him get dressed, (How can a demon dress me up...ah, I don't technically hate them, I just don't like it, since I have transformed into a low human I can accept me being lower than this) After changing, Logan went straight to the dining area.

Logan didn't seem particularly at ease, perhaps because he knew what to anticipate.

It was an act that has gone on for seven years without a break, and things will keep going that way for a little longer.

"Young master"

Eliza called Logan to stop walking. It took him seven years to get used to his difficult face as he stood in front of the huge door.

(I adjusted to it. I did)

When attempting to go to the next level of divinity to kill the Void gods, perhaps this should be the first thing to be destroyed.

Logan, the young master, has come. Elize made a squeaky noise and opened the door, revealing the interior.

A simple but filling breakfast was laid out on a long, ornate hardwood table beneath a huge chandelier.

Additionally, those sitting on the right and uppermost sides were smiling at Logan as he entered.

*Sweetheart, Come have a seat.* Logan heard his mother Ciel say,

"Huhu. Who do you look like that you're so adorable?" Since Ciel had always admired Logan, complimenting his beauty was a daily ritual to demonstrate to Klaus that her son inherited her cuteness.

"Why do you say that? No way does he take after me", Klaus retorted. He is an angel who descended from heaven, thus I meant to compare him to you."

"Really? then you are an angel's mother"

"Oh my, you too, my dear.

"Hahaha!" They both laughed.

Logan turned to face his parents, a man, and a woman.

Logan's father and the ruler of the Wright estate are Count Klaus Wright.

He attained the SS+ rank of the Sword at the age of 35, developing into a sword genius. In addition, he is recognized as one of the Kingdom's five knights. The kingdom's five fingers.

The Count's wife and Logan's mother, Ciel Deus Wright, was previously the youngest woman to complete all six stages at age 21.

She was the only child of the Deus family, but she was now in charge of the Wright household, followed by the 3-year-old silver-haired, bright green eyes and fair skin girl seated between them, who was small and hard to see but was Logan's only sibling, Dawn Wright, and then Logan. The Wright family consisted of these four people.

(Well, I was surprised my mum was pregnant with my little sister when he went to a raid in the monster den, but nothing to say about that, I'm just grateful she and the baby are fine, that's all I thought four years ago)

That is correct, Ciel was already pregnant with his little sister Dawn Wright when she came out of isolation and discovered Logan hadn't developed. She even went from different places with Klaus to look for solutions to Logan's undeveloped, and during that time she also went on a raid by herself in a monster den, and it was there that she gave birth, herself.

Yes, indeed, what an independent and strong woman.

If something went wrong, then…

"Why aren't you coming, my baby? Please sit next to your mom. You desire a quick meal, don't you?" she lightly tapped the chair beside hers.

"Hehe. Cute, your mother is calling for you. Feel free to eat as much as you like. With his fork in hand, Klaus grinned at Logan and motioned for him to take a seat.

The affection in the Wright family was so abundant that it felt excessive.

Too much for a mythical god who has given up on "love" after witnessing his great friends die for him.

Logan gave his best-possible reply. "Yes!"

as usual.

"Sigh." Logan went back to his room after eating, where he rested on his bed, looking exhausted.

I'm over too much love.

Despite being accustomed to it, he felt humiliated. He wished to pass away when he was only born. He had previously believed that he would be reincarnated in an unfamiliar household when Husk had said that "no one will be here like us," but he had not anticipated that such an event would occur.

(Oh, sh*t.)

He would prefer to sleep longer, but his mother was scheduled to read a book to him and his sister and he had to meet her in one month since she would be going on a mission soon

"Haa. Instead of staying indoors and only receiving too much love,

I rather travel this world, but the library is preferable to reading children's books, at least."
