"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."

  • The First Mage On Earth   General Information

    Hello there. Before we start the story I wanted to give you guys some information about the world of this story.Magic SystemFirst of all mana. Mana is the energy every being who uses magic possesses. Normal human bodies can't produce mana only some with special bloodlines or hybrids can.Magic is the manipulation of the mana. While there will be magic with chants there is also chant less magic. Their difference is that mages have to manually shape the mana to perform magic while chant itself is the automatic shaping of the mana. Mana responds to intent and with putting intent on words chants are created.Magic Circles are visualized forms of the spells. Higher the level of the spell more complex the magic circle.Magic and Spell LevelsLevels of magic are determined by how complex the magic and spells of the said magic and their required mana amounts.<

  • The First Mage On Earth   Ocean?

    Ocean... As far as the eye can see everywhere in the ocean. The sky is cloudless and bright blue. It's a weird scene. Everything is blue. I don't know how but I'm standing on top of the water.I can smell the scent of the ocean. If this is a dream, how the hell I can smell? But... It must be a dream. I'm walking on water right now. It shouldn't be possible. Ugh...I saw the water shaking under my feet. It was weird. There is no wave but the water is shaking. I tried to see where this shaking comes from. What I saw was a giant blue cocoon.*****"Hmm...? Ugh... My head hurts, my eyes are itching. What happened to me? Where am I?"I get up from where I was lying. My vision is blurry, I can't see around me. I can only see something blue.My head is hurting like hell. It feels like it's going to crack open. Ugh... What the heck is going on?! I tried to move my bo

    Everywhere was a sea. Even my eyes couldn't see anything else. I was standing in the middle of an ocean. It was nerve-wracking. Somehow I'm back in this dream. But everything is clearer this time.The most important thing is, what lies in the center of this ocean. It looked like a cocoon of some sort. Shining at deep blue color. I didn't see this before. Maybe I was too confused to notice? It's possible.I slowly walked towards it. Something tells me I have to reach it. I can feel something between that and myself. Like a connection. It's weird.What is this place? What is the thing inside of the cocoon? What is this weird connection I'm feeling? What is happening? I have so many questions. And only one lead so far. It was as tall as an adult human. Maybe even taller. When I came closer to it a word appeared on my mind. Undine. It is said to be a water nymph who lives for love. They are the creatures of the legends. Bein

    "Ugh... So can you at least tell me who you are?""I am a spirit. A Great Spirit to be precise. I don't have the usual firepower of the Great Class Spirits because of my almost empty mana reserves. As I have said I'm from the Undine Clan.""Spirit? Like, as the souls of humans?""Nope. We are simply living beings but made of mana. I can teach you mana later but I don't think you can be able to use it. After all, aside from spirits, no one can use mana correctly. Hmm, now that I think about it if we made a pact maybe you could use mana."Mana? Is it the same one I know of? I hope it is."Really? I don't know if we are talking about the same mana but I'm really curious about it now. Can you tell me more?""Normally pact is performed between spirits grant others to powers for a limited time. But before I went into the cocoon, my father did create a new version of it. This version is permanent and creates a mana link

    I'm Oscar Williams. My new life begins today. I'm going to be a high schooler. Middle school was, boring, and full of bad memories. But high school going to be amazing. I will make sure of it. Because I really need a change of pace. Make lots of friends, then have amazing adventures with those friends! That is my master plan. The adventure part might be difficult to realize but I will somehow manage. I got up early and quickly had breakfast. Then I wore my school uniform and after saying goodbye to my mother I left for school. At every step I take, my excitement rose higher. My high school adventure finally begins. I'm going to enjoy my youth to the fullest! When I arrived at the school, I stop in my tracks. The school building is massive. There is a little anxiety in my heart. New school, new environment and most crucial of all new people. In this school, I will have an amazing school life! With excitement and hope, I walked to the clas

  • The First Mage On Earth   Magical Cave

    Now that I'm feeling better I look around again. Things I saw were unnerving. The water I get out of was no water at all. It was blue and incredibly shiny. I could say it was magical. This shiny blue liquid comes from massive blue crystals. They were shining so much that it takes some time for my eyes to adjust themselves. Did I fall into some kind of... eh, I don't know anything to compare with this. It looks fantastic. There is just a little, even tiny thing that worries me. My necklace, it was used to be my grandpa's. It is blue crystal covered with black strings. Blue crystal in it was like glass. You could see through it. But now it is shining. Just like the surrounding blue crystals. I am a little confused right now. Did my grandpa fall here too? I don't know and it is hurtful to imagine. But I can breathe here. Which means there is air. Then there should be a way out of here. First I have to check my phone and flashlight. But my flashlight isn't here an

  • The First Mage On Earth   The Rabbit

    "A talking rabbit?" "Wait, are you the lake, nibi?" "Hm? Yes, my cocoon was inside of the lake." Somehow I get the feeling that the rabbit's eyes shined with excitement. It jumped at Kairi and hugged her. She was surprised but nonetheless she hugged it back. Magic is already weird enough so I think I can get used to the talking rabbit thing. Still, in one night my whole life changed. It's weird but I think I can get used to it. "Thank you for granting this powers to me Mother, nibi!" "! Wha-what!" After the words of the rabbit she blushed down to her neck. It took some time to calm her down. After she calm down we listened the rabbit. Turns out it fell into the lake two years ago. While it didn't gained the ability to control mana like me thanks to my contract with her, it gained a powerful body. According to her, it turned into half spirit.

  • The First Mage On Earth   Mana Research

    Let's research mana! After Kairi manipulated memories of Jason and Hope, I talked with them and we returned our homes. They think we just sat at the upstairs of the church and just chatted. Magic is amazing! Spell Kairi used is so useful that I'm so envious. Don't get me wrong. I have no interest in manipulating people's minds and memories. What I'm envious of is how easy she cast a spell and how useful it is. I'm fully motivated to research mana. Being told that magic is real and seeing it is totally different. It was fantastic. I can't wait to cast my own spells. After the thing with Jason and Hope, I left the cave. Kairi is staying at the cave. She said that lake might help her recover her mana. I don't know the details but turns out spirits can't really generate mana. I'm going to ask for details later. Now it's time for mana research! Why mana but not magic? It's because magic is the man

    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

    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
