Talent For Magic

" The law of the world , gather into me and condense into a particle of divine source "

"Reform and materialize into reality "

"Magic Missile "

Boom

An explosive sphere of magic shoots out of Sagar's right hand , flying for ten meters away and landing on a building wall .

Although the Magic Missile was powerful, there were only cracks and damaged marks left behind by the Magic Missile .

"The destructiveness of Magic Missile is at most just enough to cause an ordinary human suffer some injuries "

"If I try to use this on those Monsters , I think I will only cause them to suffer light damage "

Sagar was currently taking shelter inside a small house where there are only four rooms .

One is the living room , one is kitchen , one is bedroom and the last is shower attached with toilet .

" Is Cosmic Profession prearranged just like a game or is Cosmic Profession something similar to a rpg game where you can learn new skills other than the skill you awaken after advancing level ?"

Sagar was resting on the bed while immersing himself with complicated but profound questions .

"If the Cosmic Profession isn't a fixed program but only a medium software that is there to help us awaken our talent , doesn't that means we can master the skills related to our Cosmic Profession and also find a new way of operating those power "

"For example , I am a Mage , in other words , I have talent for magic which gives me ability to utilize my Mana or Energy "

"The specialty of a Mage is to master the magic and research about magic , searching for new way to operate their magic system and advance on a new level "

"At least , all those fictions , novels and stories are directed in that way when it comes to Mage , Wizard , Magician ..... "

Sagar is just an ordinary human so to him , knowledge regarding magic is something new .

He was only guessing in his heart about all those mentioned above , since he has been given a power that lets him utilize magic in the real world , why don't he do some research ?

"Chanting an incantation to summon a Magic Missile will only cause me to fall into disadvantage , why don't I try to find a way to refine Magic Missile so that I can use it more efficiently ?"

Sagar nods his head , this is the right thing for him to do .

There are only those Undead - Class monsters such as Zombies around the Whitehox Territory , becoming one of the safest territories in Kathmandu.

After all , Zombies don't possess a threat at the level of Goblins and Orc because Zombies don't attack you unless they can sense your presence .

Sagar walks to the backyard , the whole building is protected by a wall constructed from brick , their height is around six feet high .

The backyard of the building does not have anything notable other than being close to twenty feet square and few flowers blooming around the corner of those walls .

Sagar walks to the backyard and chants incantation for the Magic Missile , challenging his limit .

Of course he aimed at the empty space . He has already used Magic Missile once so he can say that he can freely use Magic Missile for once .

He chants the incantation and aims for the space above the wall .

"Magic Missile "

Whoosh

The sphere condenses from the magic soars and reaches for around ten meters range , after crossing ten meters , the sphere dissipates because of mana exhaustion.

"So the attack disappears when it doesn't lands on physical object after crossing maximum range"

Sagar nods his head but he is starting to feel dizzy , even so , he shoots one more Magic Missile .

On the third attempt , he collapsed on the ground with his energy drained .

"Three Magic Missile is already my limit "

He heaves a sigh of relief .

Knowing yourself is knowing your enemy .

He has learned about his limitations , his strength's weakness and capability .

He drags his body inside the room and opens his backpack , taking out some energy drinks such as Boost , Horlicks , Fruit Juice and food supplies.

He opens the can of Redbull , without taking a single breath , he finishes all the energy drinks stored in that one can .

Even so , he does not recover his energy. Taking out those dried fish and meat , he takes them to the kitchen and starts to cook them .

After fifteen minutes later , with the cold rice from yesterday , he starts to devour that food .

After ingesting food till his stomach comes out , he walks to the bed and lies on the bed .

"For now , I think I will sleep and take a rest "

Because he has exhausted lots of energy after shooting three Magic Missiles at a row , he has barely any energy left .

Soon the sun falls and the moon dominates the night , Sagar was still sleeping because of energy exhaustion.

He was slowly recovering his lost energy , although there were Zombies around the area , he still was safe .

And after the night fell as well , the sun came out .

When Sagar woke up , it was already 11 am , causing him to be stunned .

"If I remember correctly , when I fell asleep , it was still around 8am "

"This means that it took me more than twenty hours to recover my energy , the speed of recovery is extremely time-consuming "

He shakes his head and walks to the bathroom , although the side of the bathroom has collapsed walls but he didn't mind bathing in an open field .

After bathing , he walks to the bedroom and opens the wardrobe where there were many clothes hanging , there were clothes for both men and women .

He takes out a green trouser and a white shirt , wearing them he visits the kitchen , after cooking some food for himself , he eats them all .

And soon , he returns back to what he was doing before .

"I think I understand a little about mana now , this mana is actually similar to stamina or those so-called lifeforce mentioned before "

"While my body is a bottle , the mana is the water . My body acts as a vessel for the mana and the capacity on how much the mana can be stored depends on my physical ability to adapt those mana "

"But other than that , I have little access to information and knowledge regarding Magic and Mage "

He sighs , he just wants to learn about his power and profession because he wants to use those powers in a way that can save his life and give him the ability to survive in this new world .

Although he is not a genius, during his school years , everyone who used to know him used to call him a man with a creative mind .

Sagar shakes his head , and soon he continues to repeat what he did yesterday .

Shooting Magic Missiles at the empty space and exhausting his body , following the same routine for five days , something happened .

"The food supplies have ended "

That was the problem right now , Sagar picks his bag and walks out of the house to bring some food supplies .

The moment he walks out , he can see Zombies walking around on the street , they all seem to be an Ai not blessed with human consciousness.

He just leisurely walks on the street without caring about those Zombies , even when a Zombie was close to him he didn't fear them .

After fighting against Zombies since the beginning of the Apocalyptic Era , he has grown numb to those creatures that seem to have walked out of fantasy.

On his way , he saw a sports bicycle ,body painted with black color and there was also an imprint engraved close to the pedal — Hero .

Sagar doesn't recognize the company of this sports bicycle but looking at it ,he thought that it was cool .

He picks up the sport bicycle and rides it , instead of traveling on his feet , riding a sport bicycle seems to be much more efficient and fun .

And more than that , this thing does not even produce noises like cars and motorbikes .

After riding the sports bicycle for a few minutes , he arrives at a mini-market that has now collapsed .

The floors that used to stand above ground floors have shrunk down and buried the entirety of this mini-market , causing everything to be lost in mystery .

But Sagar does some searching and manages to gather some food supplies , luckily for him , even though the upper blocks of the building have shrunk directly inside the ground floor , they have only managed to penetrate at the central area .

Those around the central area are safe and sound .

After gathering food supplies for one month , he returns back with his sport bicycle .

He parks his sport bicycle on the courtyard and closes the metallic gate before entering inside the house .

"I think it is necessary for me to train my body as well and should not just give my priority to magic "

Sagar has come to learn that his physical ability also affects his magic ability .

Because of that , Sagar starts to do some physical training as well with his magical training .

Early in the morning , Sagar wakes up before five and starts to run around the Whitehox Territory , building his stamina and speed.

In the beginning he would only run around five kilometers , followed by some push-ups and pull-ups , ten times each .

After that he would do some light exercise which he does before running , followed by some other physical exercise to build a foundation for his body .

After all that , he would learn to refine his Magic Missile , researching the way to utilize his Magic Missile in a fast and efficient order .

Of course , later , he decided to start doing meditation. Just for meditation , he began to build a habit of waking up before 4am early in the morning , at first he was only capable of meditating for fifteen minutes .

Slowly , as time passed , his habit began to turn into discipline , becoming strict on himself .

As time went by , his digestive system also began to grow. In just one day , he started to eat food comparable to three days at once .

His body was starting to slowly get tired because of his regular training .

His 40 percent of time would be consumed doing practical training such as exercise , physical training , magic training .

While his remaining time would be consumed in researching his Cosmic Profession , Magic and abilities he can operate to his advantage. .

Of course , just like that around thirty days passed . Since he has been living in an area that is very safe and protected , he hardly came in contact with challenges.

For him , survival is his priority so why would he leave such a safe area ?

One day , he realized something .

"This is already the fourth Magic Missile !!"

"And this time , my Magic Missile ranged much more distance away compared to when I first shot my Magic Missile "

He was pleasantly surprised to learn that his ability to shoot Magic Missile has grown from three to four times , while the range has also become much wider than before .

And more than that , he actually shot four Magic Missiles after doing his daily morning exercise.

"Does this mean that I can train my magic and grow stronger ?"

"And I also felt that the duration to cast Magic Missile has lessen "

He smiles , his ears turn red from excitement , causing him a sense of achievement .

"Also , there is a new change in my status "

He opens his Status Panel , doing check on his current status .

[ Sagar Rai

Age : 21 / 93

Level : 1 [ Rookie ( In Training ) ]

Cosmic Profession : Mage [ First Circle ]

Skills : Magic Missile , Telekinesis , Inferior - Mana Manipulation ]

"There is a new information close to Rookie , it says that I am a Rookie In Training , does that means that the way to level up isn't actually farming exp or whatever by hunting monsters similar to a game "

"But instead we need to master our Profession ?"

Sagar seems to have realized something , a sudden enlightenment hits his head.

"And also , I have this new skill called Inferior - Mana Manipulation"

"It seem that I am starting to learn about mana manipulation and should be step closer to becoming a real Mage "

Even though Sagar does not truly understand how big of a deal it is for him to achieve such an achievement, he knows that he is walking on the right path on becoming stronger .

The stronger he becomes , the higher possibility it is for him to survive in this world that has become chaotic and unfamiliar.

"I think I need to push myself more and find a new way to utilize mana , how about I try to use mana similar to those Anime and Manga ?"

"Like condensing mana into an energy spear , shield or something like that ?"

Although he knows that it is an unrealistic fantasy, he still wants to try to learn those magical powers .

If his guess is correct , by mastering Mana Manipulation and increasing his Mana Capacity , he actually may achieve such unrealistic fantasy !!

"For now , let's take everything on one step "

"Rushing things will only complicate things and nothing "

He shakes his head and returns to his normal life , training , training and training .

He can't afford to become a lazy person , in a world where danger lurks , if he shows even a sign of indolent , it may cost him his life .

Regarding his life , Sagar is an extremely serious young man .

Even if the world were to be destroyed tomorrow , he will still give himself the first priority.

"I will not leave this place unless I am forced to , until then I will cultivate myself to become stronger "
