2022-04-21 22:14:03The moment Oscar beheaded Howard, the fire spirit stopped moving. Before it could even scream its body cracked. Its body breaks down into many shining blue particles. These were the mana that its body was made of. Some particles were pitch black but all of them disappear quickly. The only thing left behind was a basketball-sized crystal. It was mainly red but some parts of it had black marks.
"So, Oscar managed to do it in the end."
Kairi took the crystal and rushed to the place where she felt Oscar. While moving she felt that Oscar's life was slowly fading away. She increased her speed to reach him faster. And soon enough she reached him. He was lying on the ground, bleeding out. Next to him was a beheaded corpse that is starting to vanish.
"Oscar!"
There was a huge wound on Oscar's abdomen. He was losing a lot of blood. She gathered her mana and cast healing magic on him. His bleeding stopped and h

I was floating away. My sense of reason slipped away from me as I drifted away from the bright shore. The last rays of the sun were gone before I noticed and with them the last spark of my hope too.My eyelids trembled. My sense of reason already left me behind. Aside from that, I couldn't even feel my body now. The only thing I felt is that my being is drifting through something. I felt no coldness or any kind of warmness. I could only feel that something around me was moving.I reached ashore, I don't know when. I'm not even sure if it is really ashore. But I stopped moving. My surroundings also come to a stop with me. It was strangely dead calm.I wonder where I am? I can't seem to remember what was I doing last. I don't even know where I was.I sensed movement around me. It was several tiny creatures, I guess. I don't know how but the information directly flows to my mind. It... Is this me? Am I
The First Mage On Earth The Dawn After
This was only a few hours after the hellish night which was full of explosions. People were scared to leave their houses. Even though the sun rose high in the sky there was almost no one on the street of the city.Miranda quickly walked through the hallway and reached her son's room. She opened the door without waiting. She released a sigh of relief when she saw her son sleeping on his bed. She slowly walked closer to him and nudged him to wake him. Just a minute later he slowly opened his eyes and woke up."Mom?""Oscar, you should wake up. There are crazy things going on outside.""What? What do you mean?""You'll understand it when you saw the news. Come on."Oscar rose from his bed and rubbed his eyes. He followed his mother downstairs and walked to the living room. The television was on and the news channel was open. The news was showing a devasted land. There were many explosion craters and bur
The First Mage On Earth Results Of The Battle
Oscar inspected the shiny red crystal in his hand. It had black spots that gives an ominous feeling to him. Not to mention the amount of energy it held was incredible."It has some Aether in it too."This was the spiritual core of the corrupted fire spirit he and Kairi defeated. Kairi gave it to him after the battle. It was like mana crystals but not just the spirit cores hold too much mana they also have the concepts of spirits."The fire concept used by that strange man and the salamander-like spirit is was powerful. It isn't something astounding but it certainly is powerful."Oscar was inspecting the core. He didn't see the spirit itself use Aether to recover its mana but he can inspect it now with the core.His theories and research on Aether were stopped for a while. But with the help of the core, he was planning to continue. The last battle clearly showed him how weak he wa
The First Mage On Earth A Nightmare
(Oscar's Pov)Hmm? What is happening? I can't move my body. Where am I?!"Father, he came to the age. But he still hasn't awakened our bloodline power. We should do something about this!"Wait, I know this voice. He... Father. What's my father doing here? What bloodline power is he talking about?! And did he just mention the grandpa?!"Calm down, Robert. Let me inspect him. There might be a problem in his body."G-grandpa... What is happening? You died... A-am I d-dead too? Suddenly, I felt discomfort in my chest. It was similar to using mana to examine a body, but mana would give a warm feeling not this discomfort. Wait... How in the heck is this possible?! This is clearly foreign energy, and if I am not wrong my grandpa is using it."He doesn't have the hex organ. He didn't inherit our bloodline completely."He sounds... sad. And what i
The First Mage On Earth Fear
"The magic is real.""There is an energy we can't see with our eyes. Its name is mana.""Your mother... She could have been healthy all along. She might have naturally possessed mana or the ability to see mana.""You can use mana to help people like your mother."Lydia shook her head to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts. No, they weren't the unnecessary thoughts, they were the delusions she feared. She sat up on her bed. The faint light of the moon was visible through the window of her room. She looked towards the moon."So today it's half-moon..."Tonight was the next night after Oscar's fight against Howard. The streets of the Daxhoull were empty from morning till night. No one was willing to leave their house. The government and the army were still inspecting the destroyed part of the forest and they were also patrolling the surroundings of the city.No one was talking but e
The First Mage On Earth Mason's Worry
It was already four days since the night of the "incident". Oscar spent the last three days studying the spiritual core and his necklace. He didn't manage to uncover much but he was able to absorb spirit mana from the core and gained a bit of fire affinity. It wasn't much but his arsenal wasn't much, to begin with. He also gained a little bit of understanding about foreign energy. It had a weird reaction with Aether. With Aether, it became darker and more powerful. But it didn't last long. Soon it returned to its previous state. "This could be very well a "key" to use Aether, for me." He first thought that chasing after power was a greedy thing to do but not anymore. Aether was an energy that was barely explored. It has almost limitless potential in Oscar's eyes. Maybe even more than mana. Mana could very well replicate and reinforce natural phenomena. But according to Kairi even it has limit
The First Mage On Earth The Affinities
"I've already recovered. I need to get back on my training also I need some new spells."Oscar muttered to himself. After talking with Mason he returned home for the day. Mason asked about what he should do and Oscar said that he should wait until things get... calmer. Of course, that was just distracting Mason. For a few days at most but every second he could gain was important for Oscar.What Oscar wanted was to gain enough time until he git stronger or at least Kairi recovered enough mana. After all, he can't guarantee that there aren't any other spirits out there. With those thoughts he fell asleep. The next morning he begun his research again."Since I gained mana, all I was focused on was Water Magic and its spells. They aren't necessarily bad. But I feel like I need variety."Water Magic itself isn't focused on offensive or defense. It is more like a middle ground. It has both offensive and de
The First Mage On Earth Bad Feeling
(Oscar's POV) Hmm? The weather became cloudy, suddenly. I have been training for a while now. I think it's already been an hour or two at this point. I guess I lost track of time, again. It started to happen a lot these days. I can't help but get lost in my research. I don't know much about magic. So, learning something new is extremely important to me. Not just learning but practicing what I learned is also feel amazing too. It gives me the feeling of getting stronger. Anyway, today was a little different from other days when I practiced magic. Today I tried the original spells I created, mostly. First was the [Rock Bullet]. I inspired it from the novice level spell, [Water Ball]. Of course, I didn't use the same size as the water balls. I used the size of normal bullets. But the way it works is copied from the water ball. I changed some of the parameters. The spells are like little codes bu

Mason's Project
"Your project?""Yeah. I think with the help of mana, I can complete it."After school, I returned to our base as usual but the moment I stepped inside, Mason came to me and start talking about his project. It was weird to see him this energetic but I think this is a good sign. It's already several days since he woke up and he was kind of depressed all the time. Maybe he is starting to accept what happened to him and trying to move on. That would be the best for him right now.He always had a bit of a nerdy side to him but to think he was working on a project, I never thought it. People are really surprising."What kind of project are you talking about?""It was mostly theoretical but at its core, it was about distributing, collecting, and even connecting energy from long distances. I had trouble finding a decent source of energy to make it work. On paper, every other energy type I tried had failed. They were either too weak or too strong for it.""Distributing... Connecting...

Fun for the weekend?
(Oscar)Jason seemed to be nervous. I don't know what he is exactly thinking but it has to be something to do with Hope. Whenever he seems nervous he often thinks about Hope. Watching him feels both amusing and a bit weird. I guess love really makes people change.We are sitting inside the clubroom right now. It's already after school. Today school was boring as usual. I can't enjoy school as I used to after learning more about the supernatural world but I can't just abandon this life. In the worst case, I can use it as a cover. But still, it's damn boring. Well, the school festival is coming in two weeks' time so I might get the chance to enjoy it. Our club decided to publish a comic book and we have almost finished it."Will you talk already? Watching you this nervous makes me uncomfortable."I said with a bit of irritation in my voice. He keeps fidgeting in his seat for ten minutes already. Anyone would be uncomfortable just sitting near him. I was unfortunately sitting right acros
Luna Edgar, The Heir of the Edgar Coven
Elders' balcony"...Luna Edgar cleared the third stage of the trial... It is time for elders to decide..."After Hector's words, everyone turned towards the elders' balcony. There was a deadly silence, both inside of the balcony and outside of it. All of the elders and the leader of the coven had serious and grim expressions on their faces. Before the situation could turn into something else Elijah talked."We will announce our decision... ten minutes later. Meanwhile, everyone should take some break."Everyone visibly relaxed after hearing Elder Elijah's words, other elders included. When the attention was lifted from the balcony all of the elders turned to each other. Elijah was once again the first to talk."This will give us ten minutes. We should make a decision.""...I find it hard to make. All of us saw it. She awakened the curse mark and even deactivate it by herself. This should be investigated before we can make any decision.""You are right, Camila. But, most of them don't
Luna's Trial part 3
And now it's time for her final opponent. This one will be the most difficult one and also where she will use her true power to show everyone what she really can do. Before Hector was announced at the beginning of the third trial, the leader of the coven stand up from her seat. This immediately attacked everyone's attention.Luna furrowed her brows seeing the expression on her mother's face. Almost everyone could only see her expression as nothing but indifference but Luna could read her expression. Eliana was angry. She was going to do something to satiate that anger of hers. This will be definitely something that will make things harder for Luna. And she was absolutely right."...We will use another monster for the third stage. Hector, bring out the convict number 6 and cease that stupid jokes.""!!! Yes, ma'am."That's bad, thought Luna. She knew what her mother meant as the convict number 6 also known as the cold one. It was one of the only monsters she didn't want to face. It was
Luna's Trial part 2
"Hahaha. She is a promising young witch. If we want to survive in the future we need every young witch we can. We all know the situation on the Sanraisu. There are already many suspicious movements related to the clans reported. They will eventually set their eyes outside of the Sanraisu. They will notice our existence, if not today, a few years later at most. When the troubling times are getting closer, should we really punish our best witch?"Camila furrowed her brows. She knew that Elijah was right. There were big troubles on the horizon. The number of the witches on the earth can't be compared to the clans of the Sanraisu. Also, some of the clans had much more power than most of the covens. So, this was one of the reasons why witch covens scattered around the world and hid from everyone else. To survive.In a possible war against those clans, witches will certainly perish. This was the bitter truth every elder of every coven on earth had to accept. Elder Avery and Elder Layla look
Luna's Trial part 1
Luna was waiting in front of the old wooden door. She was inside a room with only a simple chair in it. This was a waiting room. She was in here this room for an hour already. She was waiting for the trial to begin. There was a colosseum-like room behind the old wooden doors.She had to be judged in the trial because of her big failure with her previous spell. She didn't expect her spell to go wrong and cause this. She will have to fight against many opponents and defeat them all to clear this trial. The main purpose of this trial is to prove one's power to defend itself and defeat enemies. All this was that her failure might alert clans and the rest of the supernatural world of their existence. The witches have been in hiding for the last four hundred years and every coven on earth wants to keep it this way.The trial will happen in a reflection dimension. This dimension mirrors the real world and whatever happens inside stays inside. The witches use this dimension to keep their exis
Concerns for the Future
(Oscar's POV)Hah... There are a lot of concerning things for the future. Mason just woke up and decide that he wants to join us. Charlotte also chose to join us with him. I wonder when they are going to confess to each other. It is clear that both of them have feelings for each other. Thanks to this I won't need to erase or alter Charlotte's memories. We are still a small team after all. Keeping everyone safe is my utmost priority.After a little bit talk, I sent Mason to rest in the infirmary. It's best that he rest a bit more. Charlotte also went to look after him. It's really cute seeing them together. After they left the main hall, I chatted with Kairi and Izumi for a while. When it started to get late I went home."I'm home, mom.""Welcome back, sweetheart. Dinner is almost ready.""Oh, I'm coming just after changing my clothes."I went up to my room and changed my clothes. Tomorrow there is school and I also have to plan the future of the team. I'm the leader of our team at th
Mason's Decision
"Well, you are trying to create a new element. You wouldn't expect it to be easy to achieve. It's something unheard of in the spirit realm. You achieving this much is already an awesome feat.""What can I say, I'm the first mage on earth."I smiled smugly. I am really proud of this nickname. I may have given it to myself but that doesn't matter. The truth is I really am the first mage on this earth. There is no clan that can use mana and does magic. There are bounty hunters who can use mana but they can only use it with the help of magi-tech. And spirits are spirits.After me, Mason would be the second mage. Well, if he doesn't want to be in this world I can't force him. I want him to be with me in this but I can't force this on him. This is something he has to decide of his free will.There are many amazing things on the supernatural side of the world. I don't know everything but I already know the wonderful things this world has to offer. Things you can do with mana or aether are fa
Talk With Mason; New Elements
"That's... hard to believe...""I know. I would have a hard time adjusting my mind to these fantastical things if my mind weren't influenced by the mana back then.""What kind of influence you are talking about?""Hmm... It's hard to describe. It's like your body and mind both want to embrace mana and you yourself slowly drifting toward the mana and magic.""That's a little scary.""I know. But mana itself isn't scary. It's just an energy. It's up to you how you use it."I told him everything that happened. How I found him on the verge of death and how he died in my arms. It was embarrassing to talk about it now that he was back to life. But I told him everything anyway. We have known each other for years and I know that I can trust him with anything.He had a difficult time believing everything I told him. I created a small fire in my hand and showed this to him. He was shocked and started to accept things. Seeing supernatural things is always more effective than hearing them from so
