Magic[3]
......
[Ace POV],
When the message to learn it appeared on the panel in front of me as I held the scroll that had an ancient appearance in my hand, I was thinking about how curious I was about magic.
I had a lot of theories about mana and magic in my head, but I was certain they were all wrong.
Obviously, this ancient-looking scroll labeled "fire manipulation" was related to magic.
When the primordial chronicle confirmed my will to learn the ancient-looking scroll in front of me, the panel vanished, as did the scroll in my hand turning to dust.
After watching this scene, I felt an intense surge of unfamiliar knowledge appear in my head.
It was excruciatingly painful, but not to the point where I had to scream.
I gritted my teeth and waited for the pain to stop.
.........
[You have learned Fire manipulation],
........
When it finally did come to an end, I ignored the new notification that appeared on my panel and did nothing for a while to get myself back.
I didn't look at the unfamiliar knowledge that suddenly appeared after the scroll disintegrated to dust until a few seconds later, and when I did, I was really surprised.
Some theories were also formed as a result of this, as some previously ambiguous issues became more clear.
I also discovered the distinction between the scroll and the skill stone, as well as why Anna's skill grade was so high.
The difference between the scroll and the skill stone is that the scroll will teach you the ways of a specific thing, whereas the skill stone will simply teach you a specific skill.
A fire manipulation scroll and a fireball skill stone, for example.
The fire manipulation scroll will teach you how to use the mana within you and bring it outside of you to affect reality by creating a fire that runs on your mana and how to manipulate it.
The extent to which you can manipulate fire with mana is determined by the person doing so.
That is, even though the scroll will tell you how to manipulate fire, the progress is still dependent on the person who wants to manipulate fire using the method on the scroll.
It's the same way things work at school.
The teacher will teach you, but it is up to you to understand what is being said and apply it.
That's what the scroll does, different from the skill stone.
Naturally, it is possible to create and use a fireball as long as one has some degree of control over fire.
However, using a skill stone differs in that if you use a fireball skill stone, it will directly teach you and make you know how to make a fireball even if you don't know how to or have any experience doing so.
The difference between them is that one will show you how to do it while the other will make you do it.
The similarity between them is that progress is still dependent on the individual.
I believe the grade of Anna's skill is so high because it is a high-level spell.
Anna's skill appears to be a spell, albeit a high-level one from high-level magic.
Of course, I could be wrong because these are just my thoughts.
But that isn't the point here.
The point is that I can finally use magic.
I sat in a more comfortable position and closed my eyes while holding out my right hand.
I attempted to circulate the mana within me by recalling the scroll's methods in my mind.
I've never done anything like this before.
In fact, this is my first encounter with mana.
As expected, I failed my first attempt to circulate mana.
But instead of giving up and resting, I tried it again.
Perhaps the people in the room didn't bother me because they sensed the serious aura I exuded.
However, it appears that determination in circulating mana is meaningless.
'Perhaps I don't have talent in mana,' I reasoned as I attempted to circulate mana in my body for the seventh time, finally succeeding.
Well, I wouldn't call it a success because as soon as I made contact with the mana in my body, I lost the connection right after.
But I didn't give up and instead tried again with more zeal now that I'd had some experience with making contact with the mana in my body.
I succeeded again only a few seconds after attempting to feel the mana within me.
This time, I calmed down as I gradually became acquainted with my mana, which was truly strange.
Feeling the mana within me was strange, but it also gave me a sense of familiarity.
It was as if I was feeling myself.
Though it sounds wrong and strange, it was the only way I could describe how I felt.
After familiarizing myself to the point where I wouldn't forget how to make contact with the mana in my body, I began to circulate the mana within my body.
It was a little difficult, but I got through it.
I looked at the hand I held out and muttered softly as I circulated the mana in my body according to how it was written on the scroll.
"Fire"
Saying this was pointless when it came to making a fire with mana.
I just said it to conjure up an image of fire in my mind, and when I did, I was finally able to experience magic in this new world, as blue flames appeared slightly above the hand I stretched out.
'Magic,' I thought, but I couldn't think any further because new notifications began to appear on the panel in front of me.
..........
[3 hours until the end of stage 1],
[In this new world, reward and risk go hand in hand as the strong are rewarded],
[It is recommended that you grow stronger and evolve into higher lifeforms]..........
.......
Looking at the notifications on my panel, I had a suspicious thought.
