Chapter 6: A Step Back in Time

_____________________________________________

The scene shifts back three months, to a quiet night following a day of vibrant celebration.

Reflection on the 9th Birthday Night

The day of his ninth birthday had been filled with joy and laughter, echoing through every corner of his home. But as evening fell, a peaceful hush blanketed his room. The festivities had faded into silence, leaving him with a warm sense of satisfaction. His life had transformed beyond anything he could have imagined. He now had friends, a family who cared deeply for him, and a purpose he was slowly beginning to understand.

With a smile, he lay in bed, a soft fire lamp casting a warm glow across his room. Reaching for his diary—a treasure trove of knowledge and insights about this new world—he felt a thrill of excitement. He opened it to a fresh page, eager to capture everything he’d learned and felt.

Diary Entries – Knowledge and Information Revision

As he turned the pages, he reviewed the critical knowledge he’d gathered so far.

The Magic System

There were two main paths for magic users:

Spell Casters: Those born with meridians that allowed them to channel mana externally. These individuals, skilled in incantations and rituals, could summon and control elements like fire, water, and earth. Some used their powers for healing, while others delved into summoning. Their abilities were versatile and visually impressive, capable of creating complex and powerful spells.

Body Enforcers: Unlike Spell Casters, Body Enforcers channeled mana internally. Their magic infused their own bodies, enhancing their strength, speed, and endurance. Although they couldn’t cast spells, they could imbue weapons with their mana, creating powerful attacks through physical force.

Both paths had ranks that determined a mage’s skill and strength:

Common: Magic for daily needs, practiced by many.

Expert: Practitioners skilled enough to use advanced techniques.

Elite: Warriors and leaders, wielding potent magic.

Master: Knowledgeable individuals capable of intricate spells.

Grandmaster: Legends with power to shape events on a large scale.

Magic Saints: Almost god-like beings who could shift the balance of the world.

Even as he read, he knew he still had a long way to go. His own magic was limited to simple elemental spells, but within him, he could sense a core of energy waiting to be unlocked. And unlike most, he had a unique ability: he could detect faint traces of magical energy in even the smallest creatures and young children—an awareness others didn’t seem to share.
