2022-04-17 05:15:50After I show the basics to Lydia, I started with my training. Since I have my Aether Organ completed I can train to my limits and eventually surpass them. I will start with mana strings. I have a few ideas for them. But I first need to master creating them. After I gained enough mastery, I can try to change the nature of mana while using them.
Basically, I shape mana to the shape of a string or thread. Like the threads of a spider. Unfortunately, I'm rather a novice at this so I lose a bit of mana while doing it. My first goal is to lose less mana while creating them. I eventually want to prevent the mana loss and solidify them. I also need to increase the number of strings I can create at once. Right now I can create five and use them relatively easily as long as they have a length of 50 centimeters. Longer than that is not possible for the current me.
I create one string of mana between my hands. I'm trying to make it more compact. I can n

The First Mage On Earth Talk With Kairi
After I finished training with Lydia I escorted her to her house. It's already dark outside so I would rather not leave her alone.My mom texted me, asking when I was coming home. She would obviously get suspicious if I constantly stay outside till night. I texted her that I was with a classmate and I would be home about in an hour.After I'm done with everything I went to the old church. I need to talk with Kairi about Lydia. This matter is important and I know that I should have talked with her before. But... I just couldn't help myself. What if she refuses? I finally got myself a person who can understand me.With those thoughts on my mind, I jumped down to the cave. The stone altar nullifies the magic to some extent. I need to find out what to do with it later. Anyway, the cave is just as I left it before. We need to add something defensive just in case."Welcome, Oscar.""I'm back, Kairi.
The First Mage On Earth Unnatural Occurrence?
(Third Person POV)The moon was shining on the sky and illuminating the night. It's only been a few hours since sunset. But somehow all of the city was buried in silence. Daxhoull didn't have a lively or energetic nightlife but it still had one. This silence was truly an unusual occurrence.The reason for this might be the movements of the police force. Most people who are part of the nightlife or underworld could understand that police were planning something big. No one confirmed this but it wasn't something they were willing to risk."Tch! What the heck?! We looked everywhere and found nothing."On this quiet night, there were several police officers who were traveling the forest. One of them, who just spoke, was Officer Hans. He was a tall and bulky man in his mid-thirties. The sides of his brown hair were beginning to grey. He had a nasty frown on his face.He was clearly an
The First Mage On Earth Rumors
(Third person POV)It was the morning of Wednesday. Everyone in the Daxhoull heard about the police investigation in the depths of the forest last night. It was the astonishing speed of a rumor spreading. Everyone else said something else about the investigation of the police forces.Mason was walking to the school. He was familiar with the gossiping nature of the citizens. From the housewife to company workers, everyone would gossip one way or another. If you would ask them they would deny it but the truth is undeniable. They love gossip."What is this fuss about? They just did an investigation. Why would people create a rumor about aliens?"Mason found this extremely weird. Linking an ordinary or common police investigation to some conspiracy theories is just bullshit. No matter how safe Daxhoull is compared to surrounding cities, crime still happens. Murder, thievery, and some other small-time cri
The First Mage On Earth Apex Human
The school hours were over. Mason quickly left the school grounds. While walking on the streets he couldn't help but look toward the forest."A quick walk in the forest can't be bad, right?"He slowly walked inside the forest. Unaware of the action he just made actually sealed his fate.***"Can this one succeed?"Andrew Houll asked the man with a white gown. He was holding a file in his hand. The man looked at the file and read its contents before answering."He should be more durable than others. We have yet the find the necessary requirements to succeed but he is the best subject so far.""We already lost so many resources. We need some results and we need them soon. You better be successful this time."They both looked at the man with patient robes. He was a tall and bulky man. He had short grey hair and brown eyes. There was a
The First Mage On Earth The Strange Man
A spear made of water shot towards Howard from his behind. He dodged it with a jump to the right side. The spear penetrated the wall behind him leaving a big dent. Seeing it Howard smiled menacingly."How exacting! You may be the only one who can reach where I am. Come, show me your power!""You asked for it!"Oscar created twenty water spears and fired them all to Howards. Howard opened his mouth and released a pillar of flames from his mouth to counter the spears. In just a second he vaporized all of the water."Tch!"Oscar clicked his tongue and jumped inside the steam created by the clash of the two spells. It was thick enough to cover him for a few seconds, just enough time to prepare for his next attack.Oscar covered his left arm with water and changed its shape to a lance. He quickly stabbed with it the last place Howard was. But just as he came out of the fog of t
The First Mage On Earth Oscar vs Howard 1
"*cough* That hurt!"He vomited a mouthful of blood. He tried to get up but he couldn't muster enough power in his legs and he fell. Their fight was going on for about thirty minutes at this point. His mana reserves were lower than half and his body was getting many small injuries.He knew that he wasn't exactly a match for the person who is in front of him. His mana was like a bottomless well. It didn't even decrease and he fired a lot of fireballs. Seeing that he tried to fight him using his fists but before he could even punch him he was sent flying by a powerful kick to his abdomen."He doesn't just possess bottomless mana he's also good at fighting, at least better than me."Oscar took a deep breath and get up. His body was hurting but it wasn't something he couldn't bear. He needed to stand up and fight. He couldn't leave everything to Kairi. Except for this man, there was also a corrupted spir
The First Mage On Earth Oscar vs Howard 2
"DIE!!"Oscar screamed and slashed at Howard. He tried to dodge but couldn't get away from his range. Oscar's water sword left a big cut on his torso. It healed several seconds later but he couldn't shake the terror he felt.Oscar's glowing crimson eyes locked on Howard. He could feel the intense bloodlust from those eyes. He didn't understand how this boy suddenly turned into a bloodthirsty monster. His speed and attacks suddenly improved when his eyes glowed red. He saw similar eyes filled with bloodlust in the Crueland but this was something else. These eyes made his soul tremble.He fired another pillar of flames from his mouth to block his vision. He didn't think that the boy would die after this attack. After all, he survived when he pierced his chest with a fire spear. He first fell to the ground but a few seconds later he got up but his eyes were glowing red."Die you flaming bastard!"
The First Mage On Earth Aftermath and Epilogue 1
The 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

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
