Rod’s words made me crash to the ground. It felt like someone poured cold water on me. When I heard that my golden goose could help me alter the levels of anything, I was on cloud nine.
I know it’s not worth arguing with him. So I proceeded to ask questions.
“Rod, what’s the use of that database? It’s only empty.”
[Oh, it sure is now, but it will be permanently saved in the database once you learn something. You’ll never forget anything that you have learned.]
“That sure sounds nice, but I don’t think I can learn much in such a short time. Even the magicians at the pinnacle live utmost for two hundred years. So it’s not much use.”
[Hahaha, you sure make me laugh. The magicians at the pinnacle live for thousands of years]. Rod laughed as if he had heard the joke of the century.
“What do you mean by that?”
[The magicians whom you think are at the pinnacle haven’t reached the pinnacle stage, they barely set foot out of the Primary Realm. Hearing when you said pinnacle magicians, I couldn’t do but laugh.]
“So there are levels above Level-9?”
[That you have to discover for yourself. I already revealed more than I should.]
“Okay, I have one last question.”
[Speak.]
“How many tabs are there in the interface of the system?”
[It depends on you.]
“Can you elaborate?”
[Oh, I thought that was your last question. Is it not?]
Fuck, why did I say it’s my last question?
Suddenly Rod laughed, [Don’t worry, boy, even if that’s not your last question, I can’t elaborate much. The tabs that get unlocked are based on you and yourself.]
“Hmm, Rod, I have no other questions now.”
[Good, then I’ll take my leave then. Remember, I can only return when something of great importance happens or your death.]
Fuck.
After Rod disappeared, well, whatever word for an appearance which has no appearance left, I went down for dinner.
Mary cooked my favorite, fried prawns for dinner. I would say, though I lost my parents, I have Thomas and Mary, who filled their jobs and that of my parents.
Though they refer to me as ‘Young Master’ when in public, they agreed to call me by name only when we were alone after pestering them for a long time.
After I had my fill, I went back to my room and checked the system interface.

After reading many novels where the Main Character was given a system to help him reach the heavens, I didn’t need to be spoon-fed. So I only asked Rod questions about things I had doubts about.
On the interface, I can see there is an attribute called ‘Level Alter Points’, and beside it is ‘Cool down.’
I believe those points are refreshed every 24 hrs, or new points are added to it. Damn, why did I forget about this?
I should check this later.
My level upgrade is locked; it seems I have to achieve something for it to unlock. From the magical studies, body attributes can be increased with either physical exercises or by increasing the Magic level.
Innate skills are a level more powerful than the caster. It means that when at level-1, the power exerted by the Innate Skill would be as powerful as level-2 skill. The Innate skill can’t be used without reaching level-1, and I do intend to keep it secret for now.
Not every magician is granted such skill. The ones with such talent will reach the pinnacle. I would have celebrated, but after hearing Rod’s words, the pinnacle we knew was just the starting of magic.
The only thing I can level up now is the grade of my magic. It’s too low, so I have to upgrade it before I try to form the orbit and satellite.
The magic crystal formed is like a planet, and when we form orbits and satellites, we can cast spells. While casting, the satellites revolve around the crystal, converting Mana into whatever spell we are casting. Still, the spells should be related to the crystal.
The speed of revolution and the radius of the orbit determine the power of the spell cast. Each caster has its own numbers.
Now let’s move to click the + sign beside the grade. Since my grade is Yellow, in order to achieve Violet, I needed to upgrade my grade four times. I did that by clicking the + sign four times. Every time my grade changed, there was a notification.
‘Congratulations, your grade upgraded to Green.’
‘Congratulations, your grade upgraded to Blue.’
‘Congratulations, your grade upgraded to Indigo.’
‘Congratulations, your grade upgraded to Violet.’
I was happy when I heard the last notification.

Hmm, why is it still showing the + sign? Violet is the highest grade, so I thought the sign would disappear once the grade reached violet grade.
Is there a grade above Violet?
Should I click it again?
I am not sure whether to click it or not, but I proceed to click it.

Huh? I never heard of purple. Violet is probably the highest ever manifested in this world among humans.
The shock is not the Purple Grade, but the + sign is still visible.
If this is not the end of grades, then what is?
How many more are there?
Damn, I only had five points. If only my grade was Violet, I would have four more points.
Well, what is the use of crying over spilled milk?
Now I have to wait till tomorrow to experiment with it. Damn, again for forgetting if there is a way to increase those points. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

Now that I can’t do anything, I’ll just sleep for tonight. Anyhow my original plan didn’t involve me meditating so that I could form orbit and satellite. Now that I need to wait so that my points refill, and then I can check if there are grades above Purple. Now that there wasn’t anything for me to do, I quickly fell asleep on my bed. --- I woke up early in the morning and did my daily exercises. What many magicians do is not work on their bodies. A magician increases his physique whenever he reaches a new level, so that is what everyone does, and this is their weakness. Compared to other warriors, a magician’s body is weak. There are few who use weapons embued with magic, who had to work on their physique. Usually, these are the ones who happened to have low magic grades. When I do these, everyone will be thinking me as someone weak. Either they bully me or don’t pay any attention. I won’t care for those latter guys even if they are dying, but the ones who bully would feel my w
Damon Oswyn, the frost mage Chapter 7: Essence of a magician
What the hell was that? A new mission appeared, but Rod said that missions only appear after the missions tab is available at level-2. I’m happy that a mission appeared before that ridiculous requirement was fulfilled. On top of that, the mission states to inquire about the beast tide and my parents’ death. Does that mean there is foul play? I had my doubts about their deaths. From what I know, they killed a lot of overlord beasts before, one on one. Sure the lord beasts would trouble them with their numbers but for both of them to die at the same time felt wrong. The fight happened right outside the city. Even if one of them were injured, the other would have pulled both to the healers at the walls. They could have been healed and joined the fight again. The members of major families would have filled their spots for a time since the elders of those families are on par with my parents’ strength. Added to that, Thomas found out that the families were behind the rumors about my par
Damon Oswyn, the frost mage Chapter 8: Eye of Vision, Ancient Runes
It fucking hurts. Damn, I forgot about that. They give us incredible power but only after causing the MC pain. How the hell does one survive such pain? After a few minutes of tormenting, the pain finally subsided, and I fell to the floor. When I woke up, it was already late evening. Damn, I was unconscious for hours; if this happens out in the wild, I sure will die. It’s better to use any reward when I’m in a safe zone. Now let’s check what the eye does. I went and stood in front of the mirror. Hmm, there is no change. If I remember, eye color changes but not necessarily. From the description, the vision gets enhanced; let’s check. I went to the window and looked at the city. There is nothing new. Did the eye fail? Maybe I have to say magic words? I started to say some random words. ‘Activate’ ‘Begin’ ‘Open Sesame’ Maybe I should say the name. ‘Eye of Vision, activate.’ Suddenly the vision changed. I could see through the walls and see what people could do. I shifted my sig
Damon Oswyn, the frost mage 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. I solely use
Damon Oswyn, the frost mage Chapter 10: A Magician
Ten days later 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 ar
Damon Oswyn, the frost mage Chapter 11: Pseudo level-4 Magician
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. I agree with you, but you intend to go extreme. It may hinder your champion.” Hearing them, the old man Amerus snorted. To him, someone to reach the peak of existence has to be strong and independent without help from anyone. --- ‘Yawn’ It was noon when I woke up. My body felt relaxed, and the stress was gone. For ten days, I didn’t have a good sleep. Some consider Meditation is better for the body than sleep, but I contradic
Damon Oswyn, the frost mage Chapter 12: Unbelievable SHOP##
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
Damon Oswyn, the frost mage Chapter 13: Recruitment (1)
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
