Damon Oswyn, the frost mage

Chapter 6: Magic grade reaching the Peak

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 wrath.

Now that my exercises are over, I should check if the points are refilled.

Hmm, there seemed no change in the points. The cool-down timer does show 24 hours; does that mean the refill will happen after the points reach zero. I will till night and see what happens.

If nothing happens, I will proceed with the plan I devised.

My grade is already purple, so I guess my power and growth would be great. So even if I don’t rely on the Level Alter Points, I can still become a powerful magician.

After that, I went downstairs for breakfast. I quickly had my breakfast, as today begins the path of my revenge.

Before my mother and father died, they left a lot of money and treasures they found for me in case something happened to them.

I intended to use them, but there is a chance that the system will be more than helpful in my path.

Though I have no need to use treasures, I still need skills.

I went to the underground basement, where these are stored. I dug them out of the place where we buried those years ago.

Let’s check the boxes for skills. Hmm, there are Fire skills, Wind Skills, Lightning, Water, huh, there it is, Ice skills.

I quickly placed back all other skills except for the Ice skills, which have some of the Ice Skills used by mom.

Let’s take these to my room for now.

Let’s check the artifacts to pass the time until the night. There are indeed a good number of treasures obtained by mother and father in all their years.

Looking at them, I remembered the memories of them. I remembered their happiness when I laughed, their protection when I was scared, and their assurance when I was down. Every memory with them buried deep down started to play in front of my eyes.

Though they are not my real parents and I never met them, I missed them a lot.

Placing back the artifacts, I went up and told Thomas and Mary to make nice lunch so that I eat to my heart full. I also informed them that I would enter seclusion and I should not be disturbed.

I originally intended to wait till night to see if my Level Alter points would be refilled, but after remembering the memories of my parents, I felt anger, sadness, and frustration.

They died for the city, protecting many innocents, but they dared to drag my parents’ names through the mud. They will pay the price.

When I was wallowing, a notification sound came.

It is back to five points. Wait, it’s noon, around the time the system first appeared. So it seems that the points are refilled at noon.

Let’s up my magic grade a few more times.

‘Congratulations, your grade upgraded to Gray.’

‘Congratulations, your grade upgraded to White.’

‘Congratulations, your grade upgraded to Black.’

I leveled the grade three times, and then the + sign disappeared, and only the – sign was visible. It looks like my grade is now at its peak.

Ding!

‘Congratulations, you completed the hidden mission; REACH THE PRE-EMINENT GRADE.’

‘Congratulations, you are rewarded 20 shop points.

‘Congratulations, you are rewarded the EYE OF VISION.’

‘Congratulations, you are rewarded Book of Ancient Runes.’

 ‘Congratulations, you are rewarded Book of Ancient Formations.’

Hmm, a hidden mission. Nice. Rod did say that I get shop points for completing missions. It looks like there are other rewards as well. Let’s check them first.

[EYE OF VISION: It is a divine eye that grants one to see everything. The wielder can see everything about their enemies. The only disadvantage is that the enemy should be of the same species. There are ways to overcome this problem.

Moreover, the eye grants 10X the vision of the wielder. It can peer through any obstacle unless the obstruction is of divine origin. To overcome this, the user should be powerful enough.

An added bonus of discerning what people are talking about even when the wielder can’t hear the conversation as long as they know the language.]

[Book of Ancient Runes: A book filled with details of ancient runes. This helps anyone to easily learn the ancient’s language. It is said that the ancients were an advanced civilization where magic and a forgotten branch called science were mixed.]

[Book of Ancient Formations: A book filled with formations created by ancients. Rumors say that these formations can be so powerful to withstand attacks of gods. The book was written in Ancient Runes; one needs to learn the language to successfully understand these formations.]

While I was contemplating the rewards, I heard the sound of an announcement again.

Ding!
