Mage of Blade

Magic or Sword?

[You have been teleported to spawn]

[Congratulation!! You are the last person remaining on the island!]

[Trial cleared!]

[Would you like to receive your rewards now?]

"No"

[You will receive the rewards at the end of the last trial!]

[Teleporting to trial no. 3]

Zuup!

[Teleported to the third trial!]

[You have been give 3 undistributed stat points for clearing]

Aryan was teleported to a black pitch room with nothing to be seen.

[Objective: Find and press the button to move to the first floor]

[Trial start!]

"This is going to take some time brother, lets start!", Aryan gets ready and starts searching for the button. The button was not randomly placed in the room rather the room's size was random, if you were luck then you could find the button within seconds but if you were unlucky then it could take days, months and even years but you wouldn't be alive by then and would already be dead from starvation.

Aryan first went to the right side hoping he would run into the wall, he walked for about 30 seconds and then ran into the wall. "Yes, I'm lucky that the room was not that huge", Aryan being happy moved left on the wall gliding his both hands on the wall hoping to press the button, after a while he got to the button and pressed it, sighing in relief.

[Congratulations!! You have passed the third trial!]

[Teleporting you to the first floor!]

Wosh!

[You have been teleported to the first floor of the Tower!]

Aryan was teleported to a white room with a bed in a corner and a desk and a chair beside it. As soon as he saw he bed, he ran and jumped on the bed making the expressions of relief. "Its not the time to chilling, lets check out the rewards first!", Aryan stated.

[Your reward points are being calculated....]

[4,357 reward points]

"It's ok but it's not that much as I have gotten more previously in the game"

[A skill has been set as a suitable reward]

[Please choose one of the card on front of you!]

Three cards appeared in front of him having the same golden glow and same texture of a knight holding a sword towards the moon. Aryan was surprised to see a skill reward for 4,000 points. None the less he crossed his fingers and picked the right hand side card.

[Congratulations! You have received the skill 'Concentration']

[Level: A]

[Description : The skill allows the user to concentrate on a specific thing for thought. The duration of the skill is dependent on the users capabilities.]

"Wtf! this motherfu**er, how is this skill coming out on floor 1, It shouldn't be coming out at least until the 40th floor", Aryan was astonished seeing the skill.  It couldn't have been better for what he was about to do next.

[You have now gained the authority to go outside of the tower and challenge the upper floors.]

"Now is not the time to do anything of those two, right now I need to think something much more important, whether to choose the path of magic or the sword.", Aryan thought. It was important as he now had all the information in his head about magic and aura.

No one in the whole lore of the game had ever wielded magic and sword at the same time. He sat down thinking of what to choose, he kept thinking about it for hours but couldn't land on single one of them, they were both equal in strength and both had its own merits and demerits.

After ramping his head all around he still couldn't get the answer, so then he thought, let's start with the basics of both of them. He enabled his skill 'Concentration' and started thinking.

Swordsman used aura to strengthen their whole body and their weapons, it travelled through their whole body to reach the destination. It was stored at their abdomen. It had high chances of getting impact as it was a part of body which can get hit easily. If it was stored near brain or heart, it would interfere with them  and would cause backlash. The people who tried doing it ended up dead or at best crippled.

Mages used mana by storing them in mana circles around heart and let it flow and only to the required location and it could be controlled even if it was outside of the body. Making mana circles around heart was the best as it was easily detectable during concentration and meditation. People tried making them near brain but they ended up with the same faith as the aura users and making them else where was very hard and inefficient. Mana circles were like ram of a computer, the more they were, the faster and more precise magic calculations would be done. It also worked as storage as it stored the amount of mana in it which was not possible without them and more mana meant more splendid spells could be used.

After all the information he thought just now, he came to a conclusion, if no one had ever wielded both mana and aura then he just had to be the first one. He kept thinking and thinking about how he would achive this, after 3-4 months he finally made a breakthrough. In floors, there was no such thing as day and night and no hunger.

Aryan had thought of a new idea to make it work, he thought of making aura circles around the heart and then enclosing them into mana circles which were spiral shaped. He then moved into making simulations in his mind of how he would do it practically, after hundreds if not even thousands of simulations he came to the conclusion that there were only 30% chance of success. To increases the chances he thought of going on planet gor and buying a magic circle that increases the intake of aura and mana.

As he stood up, a system notification cane his way,

[Congratulations!!, you have concentrated for more than 120 days in one go]

[Hidden attribute of skill 'Concentration' has been unlocked]

[skill 'Concentration' has been ranked up to S-]

[Skill: Concentration(S-)]

[Description: The skill allows the user to concentrate on a specific thing for thought. The duration of the skill is dependent on the users capabilities]

[Hidden Attribute: Increases the mana and aura intake by 100% and increase the chances of successfully completing a mana circle and breaking through a rank of aura by 100%]

"Yooooo, what the hell!, its the first time I have heard about somthing like this this, it would double my chances at success, fu*k yeah!!!!!", Aryan jumped in excitement and happiness."Don't get carried away I still have to buy the mana circle, let's get going", Aryan thought to himself.

"Exit the Tower"

[Please choose the starting country]

"it's indomeria"

[Teleporting....]
