The world of magic and mystery

James White, a former game developer, passed away after undergoing significant hardship. Following his demise, he discovered himself transmigrated as a privileged teen of 14 in a wholly dissimilar universe. In this new environment, he perceives resemblances to the 1700s, yet the world teems with enchantment and fresh prospects. Nevertheless, during his tenure in this new realm, he notes that while the world radiates beauty during the daytime, nocturnal hours usher in mystery and peril. When the grand clock tower rings at midnight, echoing throughout the city, hear the prayers of its inhabitants, yet it is unclear to whom these prayers are directed. James White undertakes a journey under the cover of darkness, maintaining his true identity. However, he leads a double life, for at the break of dawn, he adopts the persona of Zakiel Lunite, a student of magical arts. Discord:https://discord.gg/jvufW2Rh

The magic system

""Alright, Zak affirmed, prior to declaring, "I will be retiring to my room. I have some books that I am eager to delve into. If you need me, you will find me in my room." Jack acknowledged Zak's intentions as he got up from his seat, pushing his chair back under the glossy glass table and made his way back up the stairs and down the corridor leading to his bedroom.

He got his chosen books from the dresser after opening his bedroom door, and took a seat on his bed. The first book he picked up bore the title The Magic System. "I'll start with this one," Zak announced, before he opened the substantial black-covered book.

As he read, Zak had an intriguing realization - in the realm described in the book, magic is real. There are also several institutions established specifically for the education and training in magical arts," he shared before he turned the next page of the book."

In the book of Magic, I acquired a profound knowledge encompassing the concepts of magic and the existence of two deities. There is Alphesto, the God of the Night, signifying darkness and its mysteries. Contrarily, Alvesta, the Day Goddess, symbolizes the light and its purity.

Evidently, my understanding and recollection of these Gods remain undeniably shallow demanding further enlightenment. There is, however, a clear linkage between these Gods and the world of magic.

Contained within this book are two main spheres of study. Firstly, the Course of Darkness embraces magic like potions, prophecies, misfortunes, nightmare manipulations, shadows possession, gravity, silence, mind manipulations, weaponry enhancements, among others.

On the other hand, the Course of Light encapsulates aspects such as luck, bard, words, judgments, dream manipulations, illusions, creations, beast taming, plant, invisibility, healer, to mention a few. These are the fundamental specifics I have been able to gather thus far.

Contrary to the magic typically found in the light or darkness courses, there exist a distinctive and potent class of magic known as the five world elements. These include wind, earth, water,fire, lightning, and ice. This magic is highly selective, bestowing its profound powers upon the individuals deemed worthy of wielding them.

Given their rarity, these magic types do not endow a large number of people. Consequently, those chosen are set on a journey to become extraordinary entities. However, it's worth mentioning that despite the widely acknowledged power and rarity of the elements magic, there exists even more superior magic types categorized under the light and darkness courses.

In the realm of darkness, three fascinating courses managed to capture my interest. These are the courses dealing with Shadow Possession, Gravity Manipulation, and Potions.

The Shadow Possession course initially trains individuals to disappear into another's shadow. Eventually, with rigorous training, the user is even capable of manipulating shadows, animating them, and even creating an exact duplicate of the person whose shadow is being manipulated. In essence, it breathes life into a new entity by rearranging the shadow of existing beings.

The second unique course is on Gravity Manipulation. This magical course enables a person to alter an object's gravitational pull. A user can manipulate the gravitational force acting on an object to lift heavy items, almost like reversing the force of gravity. With advanced levels of training, users can effectively immobilize any entity by manipulating its gravity, and in extreme scenarios, they may even wield the power to obliterate them entirely.

The last module, which I find most intriguing thus far, focuses on the secrets of Potion Magic. Potion Magic provides the liberty to concoct potions that can accomplish a myriad of effects. This unique aspect eliminates the necessity for intensive training; all that is required of the individual is possession of the appropriate ingredients. By using the correct ingredients, one can accurately tailor the potion to function in a desired way.

There exists a breadth of magical disciplines, thus, choosing the appropriate course involves enrolment at a specialized magic school. This school will provide specific instructions and comprehensive guidance tailored to the selected course. Upon mastery of their distinctive magic capability, the individual should instinctively receive comprehension regarding the application of their newfound skills.

Another book elaborates upon the annals of humankind, though due to time constraints, a return to the living room seems more feasible. The concept of a magical world profoundly fascinates Zak, as he holds onto a glimmer of hope of being accepted by a magic discipline and getting an opportunity to experience the life at a magic school. As he concludes his reading and exits the room, he hears Alice announcing that dinner is ready.
