Chapter 4: New world

God obviously was not pleased with the question, but according to his own rules, he still answered the question.

"There are 2 ways to look at this.

Path 1- To not chase for power. It's really simple honestly. The place I will be sending you will be relatively safe, and according to my calculations, for the next 100 years won't even face a threat it cannot handle, so you will live happily with your modern knowledge there.

Simply stay away from power, and start a business. Earn money and pay people to protect you, some might consider that as living a safe life, however it is not the safest possible life.

The only way to have a safe life, is to have a dangerous life. If you don't throw yourself into danger, you won't gain power. Without having power you won't be able to protect yourself. Without control there is no safety. Safety is an illusion. The only way to be safe is to be the strongest.

However, being beside the strongest is a close second.

So, my response is this. The safest way possible to live your life is to become strong. Be so strong and immensely talented that you attract scouts from an empire. Become a strong person of the Empire and become close to the Mage Kings and Emperor."

"Alright…my second question is…"

"Alright, you have now asked your questions. Get going." Said God, as he waved his hands.

…

"Alright John, you will be living here from now on. I know you're just 14 years old, but the city council has decided to give this house to you after taking your parents actions into consideration in the last beast tide.

From now on, you will legally be considered an adult.

This bag contains everything your parents had when they died in the tide. There's some book which we cannot understand, 15 Rank 1 magic crystals and some cube. I have to get going now, but make sure to ask if you need any help." Explained a young woman, and then quickly left.

'Wow, I really am in a new world.' Thought John, as he took up the book from the pouch.

He then put the book aside and then took out the cube from the pouch as well and put it on a table inside of his dining table.

Then he began to explore his house.

Overall, this house is perfect for a single person who wants a comfortable and cosy living space that's easy to maintain.

'Wow.' John couldn't help but think, after walking out of his house and looking at the surrounding 'City.'

However it didn't take him long to be drawn back to the book from before.

Welcome to the world of runemastery! If you're new to this magical craft, don't worry, we've got you covered. Here's a beginner's guide to help you get started on your runemastery journey:

Understanding Runes: Runes are a set of ancient symbols that are used by people who can expand their minds, yet unable to practise spells like mages. There are an unlimited number of runes in total, each with their own unique meanings and associations. Start by learning the names of the runes and their basic meanings.

Creating Your Own Runes: While it's not necessary to create your own runes, it can be a fun and rewarding experience. You can make your own runes out of wood, stones, or even clay. Just make sure that they are all the same size and shape.

Cleansing and Charging Your Runes: Once you have your runes, it's important to cleanse them of any negative energy and charge them with your own intentions. You can do this by holding them in your hands and visualising them being filled with your will.

Casting Runes: To cast the runes, you'll need 2 things. A medium to cast the runes onto, which can be anything, from wood to a piece of cloth. The second thing is a runemasters pen. This is a pen that is able to easily transfer mana from the mind, into the pen and help in the formation of the rune. If you have yet to, ask your master for a pen, if not, it is impossible to begin your journey.

Interpretation of Runes: The interpretation of the runes is based on their position in the casting cloth and the meanings associated with them. Take some time to study the meanings of each rune and how they interact with each other in a reading.

Using runes to reach the Beginner realm. It is fairly simple, the runesmith has to just draw onto their sea of consciousness inside of their mind, where the mana is stored. The first drawn rune will then strengthen their mind and give the wanted effects.

Practice, Practice, Practice: Like any skill, the more you practise, the better you'll become at runemastery. Try to incorporate rune casting into your daily routine, and don't be afraid to experiment with different casting techniques and interpretations.

Remember, runemastery is a powerful tool for self-discovery, guidance, and magic. With practice and patience, you'll be well on your way to becoming a runemaster!

'This book… gave me no specific information!

What is mana? How do I sense it? How do I use it? How the fuck do I shape a rune? What about an example of the runes?' Was the only thing John could think about.
