2 a painful awakening and theory

Luz ran home with a grin that went up to his ears and the first thing he did was light a candle and read the book.

"Interesting. Supposedly you can think of space as a three dimensional coordinate system. Other stuff like the gravitational constant was also mentioned. Supposedly the world seems to be huge and has gravitational forces acting on everyone. Strange, but what the heck all these formulas and connections are way too complicated for me. I'll continue reading it tomorrow."

That night he dreamed about the book. But for some reason, he was surrounded by coordinate systems, each of which was always rotating around a different axis. He ran from them, but there was no escape because no matter what he did he was in the coordinate system. During the sleep he understood the coordinate systems more and more and united them in his body. You could imagine that each of your joints consists of coordinate systems that differ only in the distances and angles through which they rotate.

If you want to define the world in a coordinate system to which you want to orientate yourself then you have to choose a correct zero point. Now there is a problem with a Cartesian coordinate system, it is difficult to work with curved surfaces, because we do not live on a flat earth.

If you now use the Cartesian coordinate system for a sphere and simply want to teleport 5 kilometers forward while your feet are on the ground then the following happens, you will be teleported five meters forward but your feet would no longer be on the ground but in the air and you would fall.

But it gets worse. We now assume that the earth rotates around the sun and around itself. We now want to teleport five kilometers forward and assume that we need three seconds.

We define now the current position of the earth core at the time of the teleportation beginning as the zero point and teleport ourselves. I cannot answer the question whether we will be on the earth after this attempt. But because of the rotation of the earth around its own axis, as well as the rotation around the sun, you will land everywhere except on your planed position.

But enough mental gymnastics for the brain. It is a fantasy book and not a higher mathematics or physics lecture dear author.

After defining the coordinate systems where they should be, his brain ached and hieroglyphic runes were burned into his magic core that he knew nothing about. All the mana moved in his direction and flowed in his body. They say the younger you are during the awakening, the less agonizing you suffer through it. One may have a magic core, but the longer the body goes without magic, the more the mana circulatory system of the person degenerates. The circulatory system of a person consists of magic and blood vessels, and both systems are adjacent to each other and both flow into the same places. The only two differences are that in one blood flows from the heart and in the other mana flows from the magic core.

Luz's parched mana channels were flooded with mana and he cried out. Apparently he was not well prepared for the awakening and was overwhelmed. A couple of mana capillaries burst and mixed with the blood. Blood began to flow from his nose, eyes and ears while Luz lay on the ground twitching like a shocked deer.

Michael and Az were the only ones in the room and saw their older brother twitching on the floor. Michael whispered to Az, "Do you think he's faking it?" "I don't think so" Az replied and shouted for Gab. Gab ran into the room and ordered Michael and Az to pick up his legs while Gab carried his upper body. Together they ran to the village priest with a twitching and bleeding brother in their arms.

The latter immediately guessed what must have happened and took care of the boy. "Gab, thank you for bringing your brother here. Without you Luz would carry long-term damage. But your brother needs rest for now and rest assured tomorrow he will be fit again. Please leave now. " said an old man while he and his son applied some ointments to Luz.Luz's twitching eased and he whispered weakly, "Thank you," before falling back to sleep. This time, unfortunately, he did not dream of coordinate systems. The priest rubbed Luz in ointments and bound him in bandages. After Luz's situation stabilized, the old man turned to his son and said, "My son you would have ended up worse than Luz if I had allowed you to awaken your talent. I'm sorry but you're just too old and I don't want to lose you." "It's okay father," the son replied and left the room. "Oh these youngsters" sighed the old man and left the room to allow the sick to rest.
