Ah, finally, I’m now a magician. I left the formation and pulled out the cores. I felt some energy still inside the cores. It seems Level-1 cores can be used once as the formation needs a lot of energy to start.
Once the formation was released, the energy dispersed, and everything became normal.
I released my aura to see if there were any differences, and indeed there were. My aura seemed a bit stronger than that of others I felt before. It felt as if I broke to Level-3, probably because of my grade and essence.
I shouldn’t flaunt to others as it only invites trouble. For now, I should keep my aura in check. It would be a trump card to be used on my enemies.
Suddenly a notification sound came.
Ding!
‘Congratulations, you completed the hidden mission, BECOME A MAGICIAN.’
‘Congratulations, you are rewarded 20 shop points.
‘Congratulations, you are rewarded the EYE OF POWER.’
‘Congratulations, you are rewarded Book of Ancient Bloodlines.’
‘Congratulations, you are rewarded Book of Ancient Power.’
Looks like I completed another hidden mission. Let’s see what powerful rewards the system gave me this time.
Hmm, there are another 20 shop points; adding to the previous 20, it should be 40 points now. Wait, the status didn’t show me the shop points I have. Did it show now? If not, I don’t think I’ll remember after some time.

There are my 40 shop points. It looks like the shop points only became available now that I’m Level-1, and the shop tab is available to access for me.
Oh, it looks like I didn’t lose the Level Alter points. They stacked up to 50; wait, that means only ten days have passed, or it’s the limit. I should check today’s date.
After looking at the date, I confirmed that only ten days had passed since I started my seclusion. It is definitely a record.
‘Growl!’
It’s almost midnight, and I feel famished. I should go downstairs and ask Mary to cook something for me.
I ran downstairs and went to Mary’s room. She should be sleeping, but my hunger can’t be calmed down. Reluctantly I knocked on the door.
Mary opened the door a minute later. She is wearing a nightdress, which shows her beautiful skin more than her usual attire.
She is so beautiful, and looking at her, a new hunger rose down below.
When Mary saw me standing outside her room, the need to sleep abandoned her. She asked in a confused tone, “Damon, why are you out of seclusion? You shouldn’t break before you become Level-1.”
Lucky for me, she didn’t see my new hunger. I quickly adjusted myself and said, “I already reached Level-1.”
I could deduce she couldn’t believe it from her expression, and she also looked worried. So I released my aura, reducing it to an average aura level of level-1 should have.
Her face is full of shock and frozen in time.
I nudged her and said, “I just became a Level-1 magician.”
Mary hurriedly said, “Congratulations, young master. I knew you are gifted and one day would stand above all.”
I laughed and said, “I’m sorry to disturb you, but I’m too hungry to ignore it.”
She smiled, “It is fine, master. I’ll go and prepare some food for you.”
She left to wake Thomas and told him about my success. Though he was in shock, Thomas congratulated me and went to help Mary.
I’m pleased that I could make them surprised and happy with my achievements. If I use the system properly, there will be more surprises.
I checked the rewards while I waited for them to prepare food for me.
[EYE OF POWER: The eye of power is said to have great power, enough to destroy planets. Over time, it degraded, and now it can only awaken the bloodline of the person who merged with it. There is a possibility of reviving, but no one was able to.]
[BOOK OF ANCIENT BLOODLINES: This is a codex of all ancient bloodlines, with detailed descriptions of all bloodlines, their power levels, and how to counter them. The eye of power goes hand in hand with this knowledge. Language of Ancient Runes should be known to understand this book.]
[BOOK OF POWER: One can use the information in this book to acquire additional bloodlines or to replace or remove any ancient bloodlines. Language of Ancient Runes should be known to understand this book.]
When I was checking what the rewards were about, Mary and Thomas prepared food and brought it to me. I put them away in the spatial ring for now.
I gulped down everything they cooked; no, I devoured the food in a matter of minutes. The portion was larger than I used to eat, but my hunger didn’t die. I could survive for a night, so I didn’t want to bother them for tonight.
I looked at both of them and said, “Thank you both for taking care of me all these years. I’ll make sure to reach the peak, and you two will enjoy the benefits with me.”
They both smiled at me, and a small tear came from their eyes.
Looking at their smiles made me smile. They are the only two that matter to me in this life, and I will protect them.
After having food, I went back to my room.
I checked my interface once again to see what changes occurred.
As Rod previously mentioned, Shop is accessible, and the Missions tab can be seen but not accessible. There are no new tabs as it looked before; probably this is the extent I can unlock, or there is another reason.
My status has a new attribute, Orbit-1. Huh, why is there a + and – sign beside it.
The number of satellites in Orbit-1 is one. It increases in Odd numbers as we reach the next orbit. It means in Orbit-2, there would be 3 satellites, and in Orbit-3, there would be 5 and so on.
If there is a sign, it could only mean one thing to me: to change the number in my favor. That means I can cast spells of level-1, with power equal to higher-level spells. In addition to that, since the radius of the orbit is more than that of a peerless genius, I stand above them.
Even for Mana points and regeneration rate, the alter system is available.
“Excellent; I love you, system. I’m an OP.”

Tonight I need rest; I’ll think about what to do next after I wake up. With that, I fell into a deep slumber. --- “Amerus, are you sure about this?” “Yes, Markus. As I said before, we are here to choose champions who would stand above all. What you lot are doing but spoon-feeding your candidates.” “We do know that, but what can we do. We don’t have much time. He is coming.” “Exactly, for that reason, our champions had to be strong and independent. I’ll show my champion a path to become strong. Nothing more, nothing less.” “Whatever, it is your champion.

Now that I escaped the horror narrowly, I should check what the shop has for me to buy. ‘SHOP’ What the Damn Hell? Why are these so costly? The moment I opened the shop section, I felt like I was cheated. The items looked good, but the prices were unbelievable. The Cheapest items are the Bronze class weapons, and they cost no less than 100 points each. I only got 40 points in total after completing two hidden missions. If this goes on like that, I need to complete at least 5 missions in order to afford a Bronze class weapon. I’m sad not because I couldn’t afford those Bronze class weapons but thinking about the rates of Silver class or Gold class weapons. Their prices would for sure reach the sky. Moreover, from their descriptions, the quality seems to be very high than those of weapons I have seen before. They also offer buffs to the wielder, which only armors did. Weapons are for ignoring the enemy’s defense and killing, not increasing the wielder’s power. I need to get my han

I used all the points I acquired during these ten days to increase my Mana capacity. After all, the more Mana one has, the more spells one can cast. Above that, there isn’t a device to determine one’s Mana. Only the magician can estimate the number. I’ll be safe as they won’t check the number of spells cast. Of course, casting powerful spells requires a large amount of Mana, but as far anyone knows, there are only one or two Level-1 spells that require huge Mana and none of them are of Ice element. I want the attention of recruiters, not everyone’s attention. If I perform too well, it would be like I’m inviting problems myself. ‘Status’ -- Name: Damon Oswyn Age: 16 Race: Human Shop Points: 40 Level Alter points: 0; Cool-down: 24 hours Level: 1 (Locked) Orbit-1: 1 Affinity: Ice Grade: Black Innate skill: Ice Dragon Level-1 Skills: Ice Breath Level-1 , Ice Field Level-1 Weapons: None Health: 32 (+10) Strength: 16

As I returned to my position, the day progressed without many excitements. At the end of the day, the principal posted our names list with the academies that were interested in us. I checked mine first and saw that only one academy was interested in me, and it was not even in the top three. I checked other student names, and though the top academy recruited fewer students or no students, the other two were eager to get many students. Pearl City Magic Academy, I can understand, but what about the other two? Why didn’t they offer to recruit me? It wasn’t my grade because one of the students with a grade the same as me got the offer. I even performed better than him, better than

I told Mary and Thomas to be careful on the morning of my departure. One reason my home was safe was because of the association. It’s not like they cared about my safety, but they didn’t want the city to think that the safety of the people was compromised. Even though there are many who see me with disgust, there are few who don’t believe in those rumors. If something happened to me in the city, a small spark could burn the image of the association. Now that I leave for the academy, they don’t need to be concerned deeply about my safety. I repeatedly told them not to wander far and never at night. If someone comes to visit, don’t let them inside at any cost. They understood my concern. Even for others, my grade is Yellow; my performance has definitely caught their eyes, though I tried to avoid that. If they see me as a threat, they would certainly make a move against Mary and Thomas or against me. I need to control what others could be able to see. I think I shouldn’t have increas

When I looked around, I saw that everyone was getting into formation. While this was happening, I saw that there is an old man standing in front of us. Seeing them both Claire and I followed suit. As everyone stood in formation, the old man spoke, “Welcome to the THORN HILL MAGICAL ACADEMY. My name is Rupert Dyne and I work here as the HEADMASTER.” When the students heard that everyone gasped. Rupert Dyne is one of the legends that are alive. He is a Level-9 Magician but some say he crossed that level. There are rumors of levels that are beyond Level-9 but they remained rumors. No one came out and said that they crossed to a level beyond Level-9. So the realms that lay beyond stayed in the rumors realm. I shouldn’t think about that for now. The only way to confirm is to first become a Level-9 Magician. Anything else can wait for now. “I know many of you have arrived from far places and you are tired, so I’ll keep my speech simple.

The Next Morning I woke up early to do routine body exercises. Though I can increase my stats with points, if I stay lazy and don’t do things, my body will go stiff. I’ll become a statue that moves in one direction. I would be the easiest moving target in history. It’s not the only reason, I should keep up appearances. If I appear lazy and suddenly grew stronger, everyone will suspect that I have treasured. All eyes will turn towards me. Before becoming strong, I need to keep the stronger eyes away. If they see that I was improving like every other magician, they won’t pay much attention. When I become the strongest, even if they think that I possess treasures, they can’t hurt me in any way. After my exercises, I took bath to clean myself and put on the new academic wear. The clothes have runes, which adjusted to our bodies pretty easily. This would reduce the need to buy new clothes every time the body has slight improvement. This is one of my recent concerns. After I started

Damn it, I cursed inwardly. My luck didn’t seem to change much even after such a thing as transmigration happened. In every novel I read back on Earth, every hero who got transmigrated is blessed and one day rule the heavens. It has been three years since I came over to this world, but my story didn’t seem to proceed as I had hoped. Back on Earth, I was an orphan. I was raised in an orphanage. The only thing I knew about myself was that my name was Damon. I have no idea how I died, but I felt a sharp pain in my heart one night while sleeping. That is my last memory on Earth. When I opened my eyes again, I was alone in a room. It was different from what I used to live, which scared the shit out of me at first. Then the memories of this body flooded me. I fainted with such a sudden influx. When I woke up, I understood that transmigrated to a magical world. Coincidentally, this body belonged to a thirteen-year-old boy named Damon Oswyn. He was an orphan like me. He lost his parents

Chapter 9: Formations
The book is divided into three parts; low level, mid-level, and high level. The low-level part is for beginners, and from the description, mid and high levels are out of my reach for now. I should concentrate on the low-level part of the book, which is meant for beginners like me, or I may become brain-dead if I try to read the levels which aren’t meant for me. As I got immersed in these two books, time flew by. Nine more days were gone before I even got to start my meditation to become a magician. That means I have twenty more days to become a magician and learn a skill to perform on recruitment day. This made Thomas and Mary worry about me. They only calmed down after my assurance that everything would be fine. I know they only appeared to be calm, but their hearts were not. During these nine days, I used the points to increase my Essence and Intellect while trying to understand the magical formation. Yes, Essence stopped increasing after reaching the value of nine.
