(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!"Oscar shouted with all of his might. He rushed to his friend as his body slowly fell to the ground. He felt the world around him slow down as he continues to move. At every step he got closer to Mason, his heartbeats got louder.When he reached him, he was already laying on the ground. There was a very clear bloodstain on his chest. The blood was constantly leaking from the wound the gunshot opened. Seeing this Oscar's face turned pale. He immediately cast a healing spell on Mason's wound."Mason!""Who is this kid?!""I don't know! We were only told that this Mason kid would be here."Oscar sharply turned his head to the talking men. He had a deathly glare on his pale face. He saw the gun they held was still pointing at the Mason. And before anyone could say anything else he cast another spell with his other hand."[Rock Bullets]"Fort
"Mom, please, I have to go.""..."Oscar already made his decision. He decided to go out and learn about the foreign energy he was researching. His grandpa and Carla's were aware of this energy. So he decided that his first and hopefully only destination was the secret house his grandpa had in Zhose Region.He told his mother about his decision to go to the Zhose. To the secret house of his grandfather. She couldn't find a word to speak about the sudden decision of her son. She was about to refute him but she noticed the state he was in.His clothes were normal but his face wasn't. His eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that he cried only recently. His fists were also clenched and were red. He might punch somewhere until making his fist red, she thought. His lips were also looked bloody. He must have bitten his own lips, she thought.She was worried about her son. The only other time he
Lydia opened her eyes slowly. When the sunlight fall on her eyes she rubbed her eyes. So bright, she thought. She was laying on the grass and under a beautiful tree. She could hear birds chirping."Ah, what a beautiful day."She looked at the lovely blue skies. There were almost no clouds in the sky. The sun was shining bright high in the sky. The birds and many butterflies were flying around. It was a fascinating scene."It's pretty isn't it?""It's breathtaking.""I know, right. And watch this."Oscar came behind and talked with Lydia. He raised his hand high above and hundreds of different kinds of flowers made of water appeared floating around. She watched them with sparkling eyes. Her admiration was very clear. This fantastic scenery coupled with magical flowers was making her excited."The magic is amazing.""It might be the best thing that happened to
It was a long and hard day for Oscar. He was mentally exhausted but it was worth it. He researched and practiced magic. Then he lost his friend. Mason died in his arms. He hoped that Kairi could somehow heal him but he couldn't."I will go to the secret house grandpa left. Hopefully, there are some records about this foreign energy at there."He already had bought a ticket to Zhose Region. If everything will go according to his wishes, he will find a way to resurrect Mason there and maybe even Nora. And he then will take revenge on whoever harmed Mason. While imagining his revenge he soon fell asleep."Thomas! Wake up already.""Let me sleep. Just five minutes.""No! We are going to the forest with other kids. We can't be late!""Ugh!"The boy with dark-haired wakes up with a frown. A girl with dark hair kept poking him without rest until he completely woke up. The boy looked at
It took eight hours of bus travel to reach Zhose from Daxhoull. The bus went through Biron and Zlorith to reach Zhose. It was two hours long distance between Daxhoull and Biron. From Biron to Zlorith was three hours and another three hours to Zhose.Zhose was a city built in a mountainous region. Because of this, transportation was long and hard. Even to this day, there weren't many roads leading to Zhose City. It had a population of half a million. It wasn't a big city but it couldn't be said that it was small by any means.Oscar walked out of the bus. It was already past noon when he arrived in the city. The cold weather of Zhose hit his face. Another important point about the Zhose Region was, this place was one of the northernmost regions of the continent."I didn't think this place would be this cold already. We just got the October and this place already has the weather of the winter."As one o
"The weather here is sure cold."Oscar was sitting on a bench. He was in one of the parks that many tourists visits. He still complained about the cold weather. He didn't want to attract any attention so he didn't use mana to make himself warmer. Because of this, he got cold."I need to find a place to stay for the night."There were a lot of inns in this city. It was one of the specialties of the city. Oscar got up from the bench he was sitting on. He had a place in mind to stay the night. The same inn he has once stayed with his grandfather years ago. He couldn't find the bookstore but maybe he could find the inn, he hoped."I need to look for Uncle Zheng tomorrow. I have one final idea to find him. I can't remember well but there used to be another place I visited with grandpa. It's a long shot but I have to try it. Since I can't remember it well I didn't want to do it."Oscar
"The beast of the North? What's that?"Asked Oscar. The people who were talking at the next table fell silent and observed Oscar. Just a second later they responded to him."It's an old legend of this region. There are many different versions of the story, especially about how it came to be. Some say it's the soul of The Northern Berserk. Some say it's a beast that came here from the North Pole.""Aren't an ocean between here and the North Pole?""Yes. This is why no one believes that one. Anyway, the beast of the north legend begin about two hundred years ago. A legion from Zlorith tried to get into the region by using the mountains. But they went missing and the only thing found about them was shredded bodies."That can be the work of wild animals, thought Oscar. He was wondering if the said beast could be a spirit but so far all he heard was just some good old legends that are not even close to truth many times."Since then there are a lot of people who went missing in the mountain
(Hope's POV)Today finally school has restarted. My plan to get to know Oscar has been pushed back because of that weird explosion incident. Anyway, I will enjoy today with Oscar!Ugh... Why is he so late?! Yesterday he was fine while talking with Jason. So he can't be sick. Wait, what if he got sick because of Jason?! I will murder you, Jason!I hope you are okay, Oscar. I don't want you to suffer sickness. Even if it's a basic cold. The teacher didn't mention anything about Oscar while taking attendance. I don't know if he is really sick. Now that I think about it he was sick on the second day of school. Ugh... It's better I just ask Jason. He already knows about this, probably."Hey, Jason. Is Oscar sick? Why didn't he come today?""Ah. He had to leave the city because of some family matters.""Family matters?""Yeah. That's all I know."What is this important family matter that he had to leave the city? As far as I know, he doesn't talk with his father. His grandfather already pas
