20 Enthusiasm of a Gamer

Finding my way just above the shade's ceiling, I sat down above. It felt like I just sat above a roof, but its not as dangerous as it was made of rocks unlike the roofs with thin metal

True enough, the chilling atmosphere hasn't disappeared yet. I probbably have to actually start worrying if something were to happen on the climate

Bringing the list on top of my lap gripped by my hand, Well I begin to wonder why is the surrounding it very cold, but it wasn't much windy. Its very similar to when it was the morning fog, but the surroundings were clear. Even then if I looked around the sky, I don't see anything or any indication of either rain of perhaps a coming snow

"Strange" I can only scratch my head as to why it was like this, but well since it wasn't on my priority, I should just leave it be until it was something that needs attention

Working on my core, this time I checked on how much mana did I have before I start. More than what I did before which was only transfer some from outside of it, this time I finally look at it intensely

The outer appearance of it was indeed the same, however it wasnt that it didn't change. My actual senses didn't work in this, even the sense of height or anything else didn't do anything as it was only visioning on my mind, however I can still feel that it was big enough, Its more like a visual sizing than relying on anything else. Being used to graphical arts and three dimensional games and media, You can get used on understanding the size of an object just from looking at them

How do I say this, the size is almost half of me, actually no... it already went bigger than that

Probbably my skills has something to do with it, Mana-... err I remember it was mana amount? ca... capa- Mana capacity! and it was already upgraded

I understood that I do had a sufficient amount, although I'm still unsure of how much was it actually

I've tried to think up another way to improve my mana, it was big... yes... and although it has only been a week. It has been bothering me for a bit that I don't know yet what kind of effect or reaction to the body will recieve when I keep losing mana. There is this certain magician that fall flat on the ground every after magic cast which took one day to recover, there are also some that cases that said they cause you fatigue. It was more of a theory as of now, it would probbably be better for me if I found a library where I could gather some information

There is this thing that I've read before... it was the term 'Ki'. It was also famous within those martial arts movies... somehow if I look closely to it or maybe if I look at it hard enough, arent the basic of mana similar? well having no actual knowledge, I cant pinpoint exactly

Based on my experience so far, this supposed to be mana has no definite shape, and look more like a gas particle around the what I call core. The core isnt like the ones that came from monsters, its more of a solid color yet it somehow glow inside, and that light spread till its outer layer

Could it be possible to transfer this mana, and let it stay within my body? wonder what effect will it do to me. But then again I took a glance at the paper in front of me

What written exactly were different skill sets that I collected within years of gaming, well I wrote them to be on a multiple category stating their difficulty

First would be the category of basic skill set. These skills were pretty much always on the tier one spells...

I started it off with fire as I was used to it, then I proceed to the next elements which resulted almost the same, with exception being the wind as it didn't actually formed as lance. This lance form was more of a large arrow head, its actually easier to imagine that those nimble and small arrows

Firing them off didn't require any special skills as the same with earth magic back on my house, they actually have grip from magic

The next line for the skills would be a difficult one, this made me think for a bit as for what sort form should they take in the end

So far only a few errors happen, this happen on some of them as they didn't exactly follow how should a projectile traverse while being pulled by gravity

Wind element somehow has an exceptional maneuvering but low rate on succeeding an actual form till they dissolve, Earth element has the advantage on forming itself but then if the mass was heavy or the force is low, they'll just fall downwards..., Fire is in between the two as it did exactly took form, however it didn't last long when remaining airborne than both, the other elements water dark and light similarly did balanced out better than the rest

The category of this was still on the low consumption yet high detail

Proceeding on the higher one, after seing that this magic was actually more of versatile than expected

"Somehow, I'm doing something that wasn't imaginable to happen in real life, But then its still happening in front of me live" The 8th grade syndrome afflicted me would surely jump in joy by this. After all I did the job back at my house here as a work... and it wasnt fun doing something repeatedly

Releasing mana from its core and gathering a sufficient magic into me, I launched the next magic

A fireball with much denser mana output was launched into air and exploded upon impact into the ground, this left a large crater on the ground which look like it has been gouged out

"Amazing" it was amazing feat to be able launch this off perfectly on one try, much more seing it work in front of me

"Hmm~☆ Hmm~☆ with this I can almost be certain that the list would most likely succeed!" Whats on the list was a category of fire spells that I had, there is this final one category as well as a few more suggestions that I couldn't construct yet, the actual look of the notes were samples with explanations of how to do or how to possibly do

----------------------

Fire:

Fireball = Using the mana you release, gather them as a ball and give form to magic as fire

Firewall = Like before but this time make an invisible wall like mana, and lit it up with magic

Firelance = Like having a fireball, but this time shape it and compress it into a spearhead

---------------------

With that I proceed through the list. The second batch only prioritized their forms to being finer, along with fire blast

My test run last for a bit of hours, the 1st category worked properly for all elements. however only some of them succeeded the second category like

There is a difference in both blast and burst, while blast always end up on explosion. Burst on the other hand is more of like a tightly filled water balloon that suddenly pops, well it didnt result in damage due to explosion but instead splashes the elements around

The dart on the earth element is similar to arrow skill but then it was more tinier yet it was sharp, it was when I started making the 3rd category. There's also the bullet style that I happen to make in the middle of all this, which worked on all elements, the key to this is that aside from only elements themselves I tried adding another force to it and imagine it firing aswell aside from just shaping them and manually throwing them with the force, this improved the overall skills that I had and made me do another round of testing

And some that failed as well, aside from the ones that are listed, the rest of them were dumped due to unavailability and lack of power. Well its true that they worked either way, but its just wasn't satisfaction. Either way I confirmed that I can still replicate the skills of the other element with another element

And for the 3rd category it was filed with skills that remained solely to one element like

<Magma>

I need to widen my knowledge regarding these skills in the future, something like those 'rain' category and other more as well

"Huhuhu~ now for the final category" a grin undoubtedly formed in my face, just imagine being your own MMORPG character, even just the though of it makes me wanna giggle in joy. Being able to do my combo in-game in real life, nobody would've dream't of doing that

"Fufufu~ too bad there's no Voice effect in-game when they cast that skill, but perhaps I could make one?" strangely my enthusiasm was high enough that it even caused my 8th grade syndrome to resurface. Thats just how I was exited to do this skill. Back then it was a constant struggle, emptying those spawnpoints back and forth all day making my way to achieve sufficient level. It was still a game that time and it already makes me wanna cry, is level 150 something easy to achieve? nope

It was hopeless... ah! I mean no... it was a tough path

But then the feeling of finally achieving it, ah Feel it burning... yes... just like that certain magician, I can do it too

I opened my body to recieve as much mana as possible from the core and construct the magic as detailed as possible within my head. Then I finally began to construct the magic

The magic didn't exactly come from me, but forming directly at one spot within my view. The magic didn't require any elements but instead filled with only just my desires, no actually it was filled by pressure with that as a catalyst,it was one of my sought after skill since I was a gamer due to its large AOE area of effect plus its massive damage

The distance this time was far away within the rock golems I had seen earlier, the main key point of this skill is to efficiency control the target location, and focus on it as much as possible

I didn't expect it to actually be hard..., and soon my enthusiasm was dyed with fatigue "fueeh~" even swiping my sweat was a no, as I burned my mind with the image of the skill

"Finale"
