Imitating what was written in the book as per instructed, Angele slowly closed his eyes and started the meditation process through the runes recorded on the page.

The basics of this meditation technique lay in the imagination and memorization of the specific runes.

Runes were often strange and mysterious. Yet before committing to anything else, he first needed to learn how to pronounce them in his mind.

The 1st stage of the Molten Core River was easier due to it being used to build one's own foundation. The runes at this stage were simple and relatively easy to understand. At the later stages, however, there would then be the appearance of rune circles that were complicated.

There were five runes at the first stage. For an entire day, Angele consistently meditated, and the only type of food he had eaten was meat jerky. Only when the sun started setting did he finally finish comprehending the first rune.

The runes from this advanced meditation technique were different from the regular runes often used in magic circles. Angele must first comprehend the quintessence of the runes before he could memorize them.

Angele had tried to scan the runes and store them into the database initially. However, these mysterious runes had lost their properties upon the transference into his brain and these resulted in looking nearly similar to the universal runes majority of wizards knew of by then.

Due to that, he had to return to the book and memorize the rune himself. He then asked Zero to analyze the runes since he wanted to know the underlying principle of what made those runes so special.

Angele only stayed in his room for several days as he continuously studied the runes of the Molten Core River's 1st stage.

***********************

Several days later, the dim sunlight shone through the window and illuminated on the wooden floor.

Angele, with his eyes closed, sat by the window still meditating.

'Simulation complete...' The chip's mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his ears.

'Rune No. 1 of Molten Core River's 1st stage has been analyzed. Do you wish to see the report?'

Angele slowly opened his eyes.

'Show me the results.'

*CHI*

A full screen of blue data and graphs was displayed in front of Angele's eyes.

'Rune No. 1 of the 1st Stage of Molten Core River has been analyzed. References used: The Book of the Sage, Fundamentals of Runic Study, Fundamentals of Magic Circle Study, The Book of Maya, Notes from Christina, Laws of Fire Energy Particles...'

Countless titles of wizardry books were displayed alongside it. Such a task that had been done was complicated.

Angele ignored the bits of information that was useless to him and went straight to the results.

'To successfully memorize Rune No. 1 of the 1st stage, you must change the frequency of your mentality wave to 42.3.'

This was the drawn conclusion from the report.

Concentrating, Angele began to think.

He must first comprehend all the runes of the 1st stage before he could completely master it.

It did sound easy, yet it was actually difficult to accomplish. According to Liv, an average Watcher required two months to complete the 1st stage of Molten Core River.
