Chapter 8 : Mana Part 1

As soon as Amon entered his room , he sat on the floor and began to think

' Okay , time to get to work '

' I have five and a half years to prepare myself and those with me for our new life '

' The change will start slowly for about four and a half years before accelerating in the fifth year '

' Then the game , as they called it , will appear , and the countdown to the life on our Earth will begin '

' Five and a half years is not a long time , but if i act quickly and use it well , it will be more than enough '

' I will do my best to succeed and i will not repeat my previous tragedy '

' But to start my plans I have to make sure of something important first , only after it , I will know the direction that I will take and focus on it in my work for these years '

Meanwhile, in the living room , Maya decided to look for a good movie for them to watch while she kept remembering what happened previously with Amon , and her heartbeat accelerated , she blushed and a sweet smile formed on her face , and she did not seem to be complaining , or that she had any objection to what happened between her and Amon

.

.

.

Returning to Amon , he closed his eyes and began his investigation into the existence of what would be the basis for the success or the failure of his plans and what would give him the advantage he needed to develop quickly in this first stage

The presence of Mana in the Earth

Mana appeared on Earth in his previous life about two years after the game was released , but he and many others are confident that it is a lie

This time is not the time that Mana needed to appear on the ground and spread throughout it , but rather it is the time it needed to reach an amount that makes it possible to feel it without trying to focus on it too hard , especially for the players who spent nearly 5 years surrounded by it and using it in every aspect in their lives , whether fighting , making weapons and armor , chemistry and alchemy , producing energy , or training

First we must know that Mana is incredibly raw and pure energy

The bodies of living and non-living things have the ability to absorb them , causing them to develop or acquire new abilities and characteristics

Non-living beings , such as metals and gems , develop and are purified and refined

As for living beings , mana allows them to advance and penetrate their existential levels , so it allows them to develop and get rid of their genetic defects , and also to acquire supernatural abilities , such as living with self-sufficiency without the need to eat , gaining a longer lifespan , and even immortality will not be Impossible for them if they reaches certain levels

These levels , degrees or stages of development are expressed in numbers

What is important and matters to Amon now is not all of this , but rather , just making sure that there is Mana on their planet so that he can begin absorbing it and develop and penetrate as quickly as he can, the first tenth levels

Only then he will have initial confidence in his ability to protect himself and his family

With his experience from his previous life , the task will be simple for him , but it will take him a lot of time for his body to get used to the Mana and avoid forcing it beyond his ability and harming it

As for how to perceive , feel and absorb mana , it does not require special techniques . Rather , simply focusing on the person's surroundings and even the air he breathes is sufficient

Then , depending on the person's ability to feel it and the speed with which his body adapts to it and responds to it , their talents vary , the speed of their development varies , and the maximum extent they will reach varies

From Amon's past experience sensing and absorbing mana and getting through the first levels would be a piece of cake for him

Amon adjusted his breathing rhythm , gradually slowed his heartbeat , and focused on feeling his surroundings

The process may seem simple and easy , but in reality it is not , and even highly gifted individuals need systematic training and practice just to enter a state of calm and get used to it

He continued his contemplation seriously and did not lose his focus even though about an hour had passed and he did not feel anything

Suddenly he felt his skin goosebumps and a change in the air around him as if it had become warmer and denser

Amon focused mor on the air inside his body and surrounding him

Then he felt a tremendous energy for him spreading into every corner of his room and even into the air he breathed

" Haha, yes mana exists "

The feeling of the Mana surrounding him and within him was exactly as he remembered him from his previous life , as if the Mana was embracing him , protecting him and giving him comfort and serenity

He refocused on the breaths entering his body , but this time he began to force his body to absorb everything that entered it and to reserve the Mana he felt inside him and transfer it to his bloodstream
