After I got to my room, I immediately started reading my books. ‘There is a certain magic called “Scientific Manipulation”, if you wish to be able use it, you must be able to do calculus at the back of your head, know a shit-ton about physics, chemistry, mathematics… essentially you must have an all-rounder knowledge of science, so it was unpopular.’ ‘But those who could be able to use it were all withing the top 10000 of their rank, even after “The Last Mana Wave”, and was ranked 15th most powerful magic amongst thousands of different magic types.’ As I like to say, all truly good things always come without a price. There is to 1st ranked magic, Absolute control, though it’s price isn’t worth it and just the basic conditions are things that I’m unable to complete, though I don’t exactly know about them as it was classified information’ I brought out my note book, a pen and started taking notes, bending the corners of the pages that I don’t understand and noting down all the impo

This change is so sudden that I’m not even sure that I’m standing before my own son.’ ‘There is also a desperation and a will so strong that it can’t be hidden from even Maria.

After I opened my diary, I start writing August 13, my sixth birthday I am very tall for someone my age, so some even call me a ten-year-old Turns out the ‘Blessing of fortune’ that the system or Rex spoke of, I don’t remember, influences both parents to do 2 decisions that will make life better for the family. The company that my parents own, “Lochem Industries”, is the proof of that, though apparently, it’s only in the top 5 of the biggest change someone has received. I went do the doctor last month and when she touched me, she was surprised how hard I was so she did a check and look and behold. My muscles are 7 times denser than the average adult, my bones are 5x and my skin, while remaining as flexible, is 3x tougher than the average adult male. ‘You’re gifted with a powerful body, you should become a policeman or a firefighter’, she said, but no way in hell am I listening to this. My accomplishments: -One and a half year ago I started learning the guitar and the piano at

‘System, remind me again, why do you not list it as a skill?’[Because it lacks that something that other skills possess, I do not know what it lacks, I only know that it lacks that thing.]‘Yeah, if not for that restriction where you only tell me what I am allowed to know and you don’t get access yourself to the information that I can’t know is pretty annoying.[It is what it is, now deal with it yourself, get stronger, get more authority and you will get a higher access, all you have access to is the very basics][Though don’t get attached to me as I will be deleted and replaced by the basic system everyone has]‘Really!?Moving on, time to get out of bed, it is now 5.50, so it’s almost time for the morning training’‘I quickly change and greet my dad with a simple hello and after we leave our house, we immediately start running.This time we are going with half of my speed, plus 5 kg weight on all my limbs, plus I’m the one carrying water, so it’s an extra 3kg of water resulting in

I know the perfect skills to pick, ‘Combustion’ and ‘Mana-kinesis’I had both of these skills, though I ignored ‘Mana-kinesis’ and it only got to D rank, because it requires a bunch of theoretical knowledge to make 100% use of ‘Mana-kinesis’.Though this time, since I’ll waste less time on useless things like exploring and searching for hidden encounters and the like, I can focus on learning about ‘Fusion’ more and making it more usefulBut ‘Combustion’, on the other hand is a skill I really, really, REALLY liked, in fact it was one of my most favorite skills and I was the first to take to S+ rank, though that was at the end of my life.‘Combustion’ is really versatile, since it’s description at G rank quite literaly is ‘When combustion is used on a particular area/item/material, it makes said thing combust’And for others it turns further on

Though he pushed me back…Not surprising, we’re talking about a potentially 3-ton tiger here, missing a leg and a wing doesn’t make this any lighter, thou his skin is getting lighter.And after that we started exchanging blows, I traded my axe with a corroding edge’s attacks for a bunch of air slashed and a claw that is thicker than my 3 fingers.And we started to fight on the ground, but in the sky on air.And slowly I understood one thing, I have a plan which is called 2 for 1, aka, I give you 1 really good wound and you have a chance to leave 2 lighter wounds one me.By this time all the pebbles stuck to the tiger, specifically his core and to not waste mana I tied them with a mana wire.I also started to give some of my attention on trying to cut of the damn cat’s tail.So I started to slowly make an earth blade, no hilt, just the blade and heat it up, though just by a bit, to make shaping easier.

Dueling against a beast 1
My first fighting scene, I was really excited to write it, but I had to redo it twice since it either became too short or too monotonous, even if you think this is bad, trust me, it could be far worse.Either way, wish you a wonderful and productive day.-----------------This means that the morning dew flower bloomed for the third time, I must be lucky.A dew flower has a low chance to produce a singular dew berry, which will mature by the first bloom, will be over-ripe by the second bloom and fully rotten by the third bloom.I also took this berry; I have some people that I must kill in order to make sure that Earth remains fully livableThere was a couple of psycho crazies who decided to make an extremely potent poison and they succeeded alright, but then they spilled the poison by accident and thus a third of Earth became unlivable for 2k years.They won’t be in this zone, but I can find them in Chine, so guess I’ll tr

It includes strength, agility, stamina, flexibility, resilience, physical regeneration and so on of the physical body.] [Physical force also represents how well you can use your body and how well balanced it is, but these aspects are much more minor and it won’t affect said minor aspects a lot, even if ‘Physical force’ is in it’s 10k+] That’s cool, I guess I mean now I won’t have to bother assigning each individual stat point to each stat, so that saves a lot, how high is ‘Physical force’ [Absorbing ‘Dexterous body’, ‘Regeneration’, ‘Hard skin’, ‘Hard body’] [Congratulations, you receive a 64 stat point increase in ‘Physical force’] [The allowance to ab

Power-up
THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I officially edited a chap before on this, but I will write it for those that either reach this chap before the other chap's edit: current MC stats are based on an avg. males before mana was introduced, same for skills, meaning the fireball skill is so high ranking becuase the max possible output is just that low.I've prepared plans to slowly point this out, but in webnovel I've faced a coment regarding this, so since I don't want you to think that this is a half-assed novel, I will say this for now. Thank you for reading this message and have a fun time reading. A/N ends<A time skip that is far too long than it should be>1 day left till the start of “The First Mana Wave”On that day a huge wave of mana will sweep the world and those that can’t hold out or have absolutely zero affinity for mana will mutate.I know this not only because I’m a regressor but also due to the fact

First official lesson
First, you make a box big enough to house the thing that you wish to cast plus a few centimeters to the sides, then you put in the thing that will hold the cast while it cools down and when you pour it.Then you do the same thing with the other half of the box or you fill half of the box.The next step is to carve the mold, weather it is by hand or just pressing a plastic, wax or a cast made of any other material into the sand, if the box is split in two, you can remove the cast, but if it’s one, then leave the cast, but make sure it is made of a material that burn really well and really quick.Then, if the box is separated in two, then you put it together and don’t forget to make a couple of wholes where you will pour in the metal.And then you take your molten metal and pour it.This time I used a wooden box and clay, plus a foam cast.My cast turned out unsuccessful, because the metal didn’t completely fill in a corner,
