Human History (01)

Arriving at the Camp, Filipe Wind was already thinking about his next stage of training, with his experience of fighting trained in battles in these three months, he already completed his first stage of training, the experience of fighting Magical Beasts.

Now he must start preparing himself to reach the Silver Level.

In which, it is a Level of Evolution of Life, for the individual, and the awakening of the Element takes him out of the fixed path of the Warrior, and brings him closer to the path of the Magician.

It didn't take Philip Wind much thought on the subject until Alice Snow arrived.

Alice Snow was also thinking about the next step in Philip Wind's training. Since she decided to invest in it. Now then, let's get him ready for the Silver Level and put some common sense into him.

"Filipe Wind, have you heard about the History of Humanity?"

"Yes, I know a little, it's about the beginning of magical cultivation."

"That's right."

"Only that I will tell you a version, which has been made since the Creation of the Kingdom of Gota Fria"

Filipe Wind was interested in this version of the Kingdom of Gota Fria, and listened to the Story.

- Let's start with the Creation Story of the Career of Mages and Warriors of Humanity.

It started with the discovery of Mana.

A special Energy that humans have realized exists in the world. Whether in food, water or even animals, which were later called Magical Beasts, for being able to use the mana they have in their body.

And through that observation, Humanity realized that it could also store this energy, and use it to strengthen the body, like the animals that were much stronger than Humans at the time.

Then, with the intake of food and meat from animals that were hunted by the intelligence of mankind. Humans have strengthened their bodies. But over time, it reached a limit, which is what we call the Apprentice Level nowadays.

Because they reached the Limit the Human body can withstand.

Apprentice Level was the ceiling that normal humans could reach just by ingesting mana and saturating their bodies. Then, the Sages of Humanity, turned their eyes to the animals, which were stronger than them.

And they saw them using mana as a means of strengthening their body movements, whether: in Attack, Defense, Speed and Strength. But with the way they used mana, it was still a very advanced form, for someone who didn't even know they could use mana in their body.

Then with repeated rolls, failures and gains to control the body's mana. Mankind arrived at the first exercise, the Meditation Skill, which we now call it, and through its systematic means of mana movement, mankind more easily learned how to circulate mana in the body.

And then it comes back to the problem again, that humanity has reached its Limit, the Apprentice Level and even with the use of mana circulating its body it cannot go any further.

Going back to studying animals how they use mana, and through trying to strengthen parts of the body that were previously inaccessible, but now with Meditation, mana circulates the whole body, so they studied in that direction of strengthening.

Meditation was updated in many versions, until someone managed to break the bottleneck and reached a new Level, which we call Copper Level nowadays.

The Copper Level was another step for Humanity to face the Magical Beasts that now fed on Humans, as they had a lot of mana in their bodies and were no different from other Magical Beasts for carnivorous predators.

With another step towards evolution, Humanity has gone beyond the simple use of Mana in the use of Meditation. Now they can strengthen their body for attacks, defense, speed and strength, like animals.

Then somehow, a Magical Beast appeared that could use Element, through mana, its innate ability that awakened at Bronze Level, by being close to an Element. Humanity was shocked that the Magical Beasts could now use the power of Nature.

And the Bronze Level, it's a bottleneck that humanity couldn't cross.

Reaching Copper Level by mimicking Magical Beasts was as far as they could go.

Now by wanting to continue to imitate Bronze Level Magical Beasts, to use the power of Nature they possess. It was no longer possible, so Humanity could only go back to the beginning, and look for a way in Nature.

By coincidence, luck or someone's hand.

A Human being ate a fruit, which was full of Elements, and because of it a transformation took place in his body, and now he can feel the Elements of nature.

That's how Humanity broke the bottleneck and reached the Bronze Level.

But the other human beings did not find such a magical fruit, and they came to realize that perhaps this was the limit of humanity.

But the First Human who ate the fruit, did not give up on his Group, and set his sights on Meditation. The core of Humanity's growth, and with it as a model, Meditation has been updated.

Leading Humans to the Summit.

The Bronze Level of body strengthening that Humanity can reach.

A Level, which gave a stronger body, and more concentrated Mana to Humanity.

But the Affinity that the First Human had with the Elements, it was not possible for other Human beings to inherit through Meditation. It seemed an innate talent gifted by Nature, which only he, the First Human, possessed among Humans.

But this is also a path that Humanity can walk in.

Now the Human who led the way was called the First King of Humanity.

Not knowing whether he was Man or Woman. But as he showed the way for Humanity, overstepping a boundary, said to be innate, and impossible without the First Human, as an example, to guide the way, to be crowned King of Humanity, is well deserved.

With the Evolution of Humanity to the Bronze Level, Humans left the age of Groups, and with the Leadership of the First King of Humanity, they gathered the scattered Humans, and created a City, centered where their Group lived.

And with them as their core, they spread the path of Magical Cultivation charted for all of Humanity.

Humans were no longer afraid of Magical Beasts where they were.

And to think that they reached the Peak of the Magical Cultivation path.

Humanity went to refine and distribute in Levels, the path they crossed, for future seedlings. So the Levels were born: Apprentice, Copper and Bronze.

The King of Humanity was happy to see his people living in peace.

But he couldn't help but worry about his Old Age.

After so many fights, despite having a strong body, he still had many injuries.

Humans by theory could live to be 300 years old, and he because of his injuries could live to be 200 years old. Now it is 150 years old.

Despite the fact that he has already fulfilled his dream of letting mankind live in peace, he still has not reconciled that he will die in the not-too-distant future.

Again, by someone's hand, he was directed to the right path.

In a dream he saw a Place, where he could perceive it to be full of Elements, like the fruit he ate.

So when he woke up he went towards that Location.

Without telling anyone about the dream.

And when he got there, he saw that the place was the same as his dream.

Even the air he breathes can feel full of Elements, and his body seems to be healing itself the more Elements he ingests.

Deciding to stay here, he commanded his men to turn back, that he would stay here until he was cured. He also asked his men to absorb the Elements from the place, but since they couldn't sense the Element, they couldn't ingest it.

Making him realize that only by having an Affinity with Nature could he use her power. And Humanity was not endowed by the power of Nature. But now, healing his wounds is what he has to do.

"Let's stop here today."

Alice Snow commented, stopping to tell the Story.

Making Filipe Wind realize that he had already gone all the way, that the Human can go. From now on, it will be a brand new road.

"As you noticed, it has already reached the Limit of the Human Body, the Bronze Level."

"Now you have to prepare yourself, for the awakening of your Element, and reach the Silver Level."

"It's common sense, but Humanity's Evolution is not over yet, wait to hear about the Silver Level before drawing any conclusions."

Philip Wind found Alice Snow's comment strange. She even said that he was already ready to reach the Silver Level. But seeing how amused the tone was, what she said, there must be some hidden secret that I don't know.
