The First Mage

(I'm changing it from 200 years to 300 years so Shawn ended up paying 1,500 CP. Some parts of the story are not explainable in that short period. Shawn currently has 2200 CP.)

*Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the quest of choosing an overseer.*

*Evaluating overseer's qualities... Processing CP points*

*You have earned 1,800CP for completing the task and choosing a good overseer.*

"That's great!" Shawn responded happily and with a proud look.

*Actually. based on assessment. The first overseer that you have chosen is only 67% worth the title by evaluation.*

"What!" He shouted.

*By requirements, the overseer has a rare skin colour of the region, is a user of both energies of the world, and is at a high level for the world currently due to its good level of energy usage.*

*Also Wolf is the first overseer which is why you were given that huge amount of CP.*

"However he's not an overpowered one. I see what you are trying to say, system thanks," Shawn said before adding, "Now I want to see the history of the races for the last 300 years."

The watch panel instantly changed to show the screen of a movie opening. Shawn regretted that he hadn't brought popcorn to use to watch this.

*Does the host need snacks? They are available.*

Right then and there, a box of popcorn appeared in his hand along with a couch from behind.

*Deducting 50 CP.*

"Hey. Why did you do that?!"

*It's not advisable to watch things like this with a bored look. As there are some interesting contents in this history.*

"Next time can you inform me of how much it will cost before taking my point?"

*Noted Sir.*

"Why does it feel like I'm having a noisy and nosey system."

*Rude!*

Without saying anything more, Shawn sat on the couch to watch the movie that was being shown to him by the screenshot. "This better be interesting," He thought.

The Screen showed an overview of the world before zooming in to show the races. The first race that was shown was the Goldorns.

In the north of the northern continent, around the desert of Zi, there were mountain ranges, and these mountain ranges bordered the northeastern deserts, stretched from the northeastern area of the continent to cover half of the northern north (Direction is north, not the full north. This north does not include northeast and northwest), looking like a wall that confined the inner region within.

Now, within these mountain ranges, what they hid were the dry lands and some parts of the desert, but as one moved on, signs of flora and fauna slowly started to become visible in the area before revealing large patches of grassland growing around as well as growing trees.

This was present because of the many rivers that emerged from the mountains and the springs before flowing into the region, making it moist and saturated.

The Goldorn had been made to have 4 tribes at first, but over the past 300 years, they had expanded to over 20, and one of them was the Kento tribe.

In the Kento tribe, a crowd of Goldorns gathered to wait for the birth of the first child of the tribal leader—Kento Kalo. Kento Kalo's father happened to be the founder of the tribe and had made his people migrate to this place.

The region they were in was close to one of the tributaries of the Gongla River, one of the largest in the northern north.

Kalo had a wife who was at the present moment, giving birth to his first child. Everyone in the tribe waited outside the rectangular hut made from mud and palm fronds at the top. This hut also happened to be the largest of the tribe.

After waiting for a long while, the hypourgoi came out of the hut and presented a small goldorn of 3,500 grams before the Chief. Kento Kalo looked at the child that was presented to him.

"It's a boy," The hypourgoi said.

"My son," said Kalo as he took the child, who had been wrapped with a long binding cloth made of animal fur.

Kalo then turned to the remaining tribesmen. "Behold! My first child has been born and his name will be Kento Kadan."

The remaining tribesmen looked at the child and bent their heads, a sign of acceptance and acknowledgment for this child that was born.

This is the story of Kento Kadan, the first mage. Kadan was supposed to be a great leader of the Kento tribe. Rather than joining the hunters to hunt or the gatherers he would be by himself studying the environment and the creatures around it. He would also be found experimenting with various objects in the environment which made people wonder if something was wrong with him. His father, Kento Kadan, had noticed this odd behavior and always voiced that he did not support it.

His son was the next tribe leader and should own up to it.

The Goldorn race started with 400 members, which was even lower than the humans and elves, who started with 300 members.

From 400 members and three tribes, they had expanded to thousands and many tribes. Kadan was always using his mana to carry out his experiment, which, to his father's eyes, was a huge waste of time. "I want to know how to use my mana better and more effectively," He would always say.

Then one day, he stumbled across a deer with a diamond-shaped gem on its forehead while hunting. Shawn had made this new type of animal in the creatures tab when he was still picking the animals to place in his world.

Mana deer had a gem that was used for absorbing energy from the environment. This gem was useful when fighting predators as it gathered mana to use. However, finding a mana deer was uncommon. The races had not yet encountered a mana deer for a long time, and Kadan, one day, stumbled across the deer and planned to kill it, then bring it back as a prize.

As he approached the deer, it turned to him, the gem on its forehead became much brighter, and before he knew it, a ray of light shot out of the gem; luckily, the Goldorn managed to avoid the attack.

"That thing is quite powerful to shoot such flashy beams at me," Kadan thought, raising his head to receive a glare as the gem on its head glowed even brighter and then shot another beam at him, which was later dodged by a jump.

Kadan, knowing that this was going to be a big problem for him, took a deep breath and swirled mana around him to form a ball before throwing it. As if sensing his intentions, the deer pointed its two horns and the gem glowed before mana energy surrounded its horns.

Kadan understood that the deer was ready to pierce him. The mana ball that he threw only got absorbed by the deer's gem and disappeared as soon as it came. Then the deer took flight, running from its position and towards Kadan with its horns still pointing forward.

Kadan smiled and simply took a short spear that he kept at his back the whole time and threw it forward. The spear wheezed through the air before piercing through the head and the creature died instantly.

*Ding Congratulations. You have killed a mana deer of level 19. Upgrading level*

*You are now in level 18.*

Kadan dismissed the system's dings and went to the body of the dead deer. "Hmmm. I'll take this deer home but first, I must find a way to take those antlers and that glowing thing on its forehead."

He began to check the antlers and the gem on its forehead. "But first, how do I remove this thing from its forehead?" He thought.

He looked for a sharp stick and proceeded to use it to remove the sticky gem from the forehead.

After minutes filled with great difficulty, he managed to remove it and, upon checking it, discovered the gem was a mana crystal.

Then he removed the two antlers of the mana deer, which he would later use for an experiment, and then carried the deer to the tribe, where it would be consumed.

The tribe ate the deer not knowing that they were improving their levels of mana by doing so. After having the deer, Kadan went to a cave in the forest, where he began to experiment with what he found.

Although his father disapproved of his constant disappearance and laid-back attitude towards the tribe, he never made him stop his constant research or took away his discoveries. Some semblance of independence at least.

He looked at the mana crystal shining brightly on his palm and then the antlers he had in his possession, "From the battle that I had with the deer, I concluded that there is a relationship between the antlers and the gem because the deer possesses both of them."

He looked at the gem, then the antler, and wondered how to connect the two now that there wasn't a medium. He also noticed that the diamond gem was smaller than the antler's circumference at the top.

He took a sharp stone and tried to make a hole through one of the antlers. He failed as the stone ended up cutting more than what he intended to cut through.

He tried again using the second antler and succeeded in almost making the exact size of the hole for the gem. After doing so, he placed the gem on the top of the antler to fit it and took some plants to use in tying it to the antler. This was needed for the moment.

And that was how the first crude staff was made.
