Transmigration Into A World With Manna Chapter 64
Caster extended his hand towards a bundle of wood in one placeDespite lacking elemental affinities, he had learned a spell that used friction to ignite flames rather than fire. The sticks caught fire, and Caster’s new half-demon companion added a few more to the blaze.The expedition had stopped for the night, deciding to camp in the wilderness. They would reach their destination by midday tomorrow. The leader had deemed it too dangerous to travel at night. Setting up camp and assigning watch shifts was the best option.Caster and Felix were chosen for the first watch. Felix was picked because he was a scout and a newcomer, while Caster was chosen due to his young age. Now, he sat opposite the short man with orange hair."Did you cut your hair?" He placed more wood into the fire and looked at Caster, asking, "What happened?" The cold did go through his long robe, making him shiver."Oh, yes," the man replied. His hair had been longer when Caster had rescued him from a life-threatenin

The contract lay open on the table. The demon instructed, "Sign here on the dotted line.""Is my name enough?" Caster asked, hesitating."Yeah, that’s fine. The contract reacts to your mana, not your actual name," the demon assured.Caster wrote his name, watching as the contract adjusted itself. He had successfully negotiated with the demon to keep his true identity a secret and avoided mentioning his noble lineage.The most crucial clause was ensuring that the demon couldn’t undersell his work. They had set a minimum price based on what similar scrolls fetched at auctions.Any additional items he crafted would need further negotiation, but Caster didn’t feel the demon was trying to cheat him, at least not excessively. Profit was still the goal.Caster couldn’t be certain how much the demon knew. The extent of the demon's identification skill was unclear. Caster himself could only use it on specific items, typically just getting a general name.Analyzing people was also challenging;

The following day, Caster returned to the store and found his workspace stocked with boxes of blank scrolls, high-quality inkwells, and sketching paper. He brought his crafting tools from the inn, preferring the familiarity of his quill. After closing the door behind him, he surveyed the room before settling at his new desk."It’s time to get things done at work," he muttered to himself.Crafting was his main task, so he began by scribing his staple magic fire arrow spell. Within an hour, he completed one scroll and had enough mana left to make another. His contract required him to produce at least ten common-grade spell scrolls each week, with the option to create more for a bonus.While money was a motivation, Caster's primary goal was progress. He wanted to increase his levels and understand the mechanics of magic. However, progress required substantial funds. He had a temporary sponsor but needed to prove himself a worthy investment.Caster pulled out a scroll he had purchased

Combining the two perfect tools left Caster with a non-functional spell. His debugging skills brought out many red lines meaning some of the parts required replacement.Caster still managed to put the spells together, but the result was far from perfect. Caster had hastily shoved various parts together, and though he produced a spell, it was mediocre at best."This isn't going too well," he thought.He realized he could spend months or even years, working this way. While his debugging skills helped, his approach was too random and time-consuming. He needed to understand the fundamental workings of these spells. He saw them as similar to circuits and programs, following a binary language with complex algorithms determining their shape and power.After a week of randomly combining larger magic components, he managed to produce a spell but the process was hectic. Any missed detail in the drawings rendered the debugging skill useless, forcing him to recheck everything carefully.Caster dec

Caster, an aspiring mage, understood the importance of mastering the fundamentals before tackling complex magic. His goal was to unravel the secrets of the 'motors,' the components that held the essence of spells.Caster sighed as he acknowledged the challenge. Thankfully, he had a three-year contract and access to discounted materials, both of which accelerated his learning curve. Though experience came swiftly, the path became steeper as his skillset grew.After a day engrossed in his studies, Caster stretched his neck, not from fatigue, but from pure fascination. Deciphering the magical language proved to be more enthralling than he'd anticipated. With relentless determination, Caster envisioned himself as a true scholar of magic.Months bled into years, and Caster's comprehension deepened. He no longer relied solely on pre-programmed tools for his spells. He possessed the ability to modify them, tweaking their effects, area of influence, and even their elemental makeup.Caster dis

Caster scanned the listings again, searching for a more enticing quest, but nothing piqued his interest. This mine wasn't far, a one or two-day journey at most. He guessed eliminating the monsters wouldn't take long either. Satisfied, he approached the guild receptionist, presented his card, and signed up for the expedition. The mission seemed to lack any rank requirements.His steel rank guaranteed his acceptance, but being a mage enhanced his value to the team. With the departure scheduled for two days from now, Caster took his leave. He planned to use the interim to prepare, crafting additional spell scrolls. Having a larger arsenal at his disposal was always advantageous. He was also eager to test his modified spells on the creatures.The two days of preparation zipped by in a blur. He gathered his supplies: a fresh stock of spell scrolls, healing potions, and rations, all meticulously packed into his bag.Upon arrival at the designated meeting spot, Caster found a group of seas

Felix, the rookie adventurer found himself surrounded by seasoned veterans. He was the clear underdog, relegated to tedious chores like cooking and laundry. Though similar in age, his late start left him far behind his comrades.Days bled into weeks, and Felix's progress was really slow. The lack of nearby dungeons stopped his advancement. His party, content with easy transport missions, refused to relocate to a city with better opportunities. This clashed with Felix's burning desire to level up and gain respect.Felix came in with exciting news of a trip to Manstos Grotto. This daring trip was simple to clear out the monster nests. But his companions wrote off the idea as they said there was very little information about this place and they could not tell the dangers of unmapped caves. Frustrated with their routine, Felix, a mere level 10 after four months made a decision that he would embark on the trip alone.Ignoring his party's protests, Felix set out at dawn. Armed with

Caster's party had to squeeze through a small opening the miners had created. After they passed, the opening was sealed, leaving only a small head-sized hole. They were instructed to communicate through this hole and to knock on the wall in a Morse code-like pattern to identify themselves to the miners on the other side.Guards were stationed outside to ensure the miners' safety. The adventurers had a map and were tasked with slowly clearing the tunnels of monsters. Working alongside other adventurer teams, their goal was to eliminate the monster infestation, though the duration of the mission was uncertain. Each team was given simple clocks to track their time inside, ensuring they did not stay longer than five hours.A blue sphere of light illuminated the tunnel. Wide enough for three people to walk side by side, the tunnel featured small railroad tracks on the rocky floor. An empty minecart sat on the tracks, likely used to transport iron ore and minerals."Handy to have a mage

Caster was mature enough to see the world as it was. He understood that most younger folk saw it through a lens of hope and ambition, their dreams of treasure and fame setting them apart from his more grounded approach. Some were from humble beginnings: sons and daughters of farmers; young people from families that were better off but that had fallen on hard times and now were boy or girl determined to claw back some of that perceived lost respect, no matter the price."My jaw twisted into a small smirk as I imagined their wide eyes and wide, baseless plans and all they think is, ‘Get some gold, a shiny sword, you’ll be a hero.’" It was the same story, time and again: things that were often only dreams, rarely aligning with reality.Lowfield had been a deliberate choice despite what she had become. Knowing full well it wouldn’t be clear, he took the fast route but he took the fast route. The road taught him about its steep hills, its rocky passages and on occasion, the unfriendly tra

The early morning breeze bit into the cloak and the underdress at Caster’s shoulders as he walked the narrow cobblestone path into Lowfield. Today he had gotten rid of his imposing helmet and heavy armor. Dawn's fresh smell of its own earth together mingling with the familiar taste of his workshop on his clothes. He wasn’t hiding his identity, or painful silence had been left behind, today. Today was about remembering the life that kept breathing after his magesmith-tools stopped.The caravan had added liveliness to the town which reminded me of festival time, the town was waking up. Some of the faces settling onboard Caster recognised—newcomers amongst the adventurers. With fresh ambitions and none of the resolve yet tested, they walked on their own journey wide eyed and reminded him of the person he used to be. He watched the newcomers with a kind of quiet amusement, catching snippets of eager chatter about dungeons and imagined battles, bravado thick in the air.A young man, prob

Casting his small treaty of provisions, a load of stale bread crusts, some wrinkled fruits, and a hard wedge of cheese that once lived on a more hospitable broke surviving clunk to clunk. He made a gagging noise as he peered at the dried meat again and poked it with distaste. "Wouldn't it kill the fates to give me a real meal?" Just once. Something hot, even." He sneaked a look over at where a stove should be, the ones that made his mouth water when a hearty stew bubbled away. For a moment he smirked, "No stove yet … maybe I could conjure a magical pan up." "Oil might be asking for a miracle."Peering out the window he squinted at the city in the early light. Carts creaked along cobbled paths and vendors hawked fresh fish and newly baked bread in the place I had walked into, even now. He’d done a lot with the house in the week that he’d been there, turning it into something livable, barely. "What the hell?' he murmured, 'Doors actually close now' he concluded feeling a bit more proud

Caster adjusted his grip and took a close look at his work, scrutinizing every line and angle of the newly crafted weapon handle. The wood was tough but carefully sanded, bearing faint, meticulous patterns he had engraved over hours of work. "Alright," he muttered, almost to himself. "Let's see if this holds up."He lowered his gaze to the small, rough-edged mana stone beside him. Its surface shimmered faintly, a testament to the raw energy that pulsed within it. With precision, he made a tiny opening at the base of the handle, using one of his tools to keep the gap just wide enough for the stone to fit snugly. Holding his breath, Caster slid the stone into place, his hand steady even as he felt the twinge of nervousness in his gut. One wrong move, one crack, and the handle would split, and the entire effort would be wasted. He exhaled, the pressure off his shoulders as the stone was secure. He picked up a little hammer and taps the opening closed, sealing the stone.Caster was co

Caster’s gaze shifted between his rough tools and the iron-cast walls around him. The dim, flickering light from a lone torch cast dancing shadows on his workbench, where the worn mace lay, waiting. Each scuff and nick in the wood handle held a tale of its own; it wasn’t just a tool but a companion, a weapon that had been through as much as he had. And here he was, weighing its life and usefulness like a weary healer judging the last pulse of an old patient.He ran his hand over the handle one last time, tracing the grains and grooves with a practiced eye. “Adding a stone’s one thing,” he muttered. “But what it needs is stability.” His fingers slid to a small crack, an old fracture that hadn’t yet spread but threatened to. “If that widens… this thing’s done.”His hands worked without thought, reaching into the assortment of stones, metals, and powders he had scavenged over time. His fingers found a small, rough mana stone, and he rolled it between his fingers, feeling its faint warm

Caster knocked metal hard on metal, the sound reverberating in the almost pitch black workshop. With every hook an aura of magical energy was discharged providing brief glimpses of light on the roughly completed stone walls. It smelled of hot metal and a low, tense buzz, which seemed to say that the room itself had tensed to watch him.Caster, still young but hardened by the trials of his craft, stood poised over his latest project: a shield, its shape still raw but which is already starting to look graceful. Though not tall and still somewhat thin, he seemed to possess good illating strength, every punch he landed being calculated. Each movement was accompanied by complex magical ripples, which Indragni had seen on the surface of the shield before a layer of runes he more or less sketched with great detail. In addition to a frown a look of intense concentration took over his face only to be interrupted the occasional lean back to examine the painting.After several more strikes, he

Caster climbed the winding stone stairs leading upward from the basement of Lamba fortress as the red rays of the morning sun spread across Lowfield. He sighed as he breathed in the crisp morning air and hours spent wading through dim and damp caverns had taken a toll on him. The bustle outside was a stark contrast to the quiet gloom below. Merchants, hawkers, and small-time dealers filled the open area, all eager to cater to the steady stream of adventurers drawn to the dungeon.“Potion for mana, sir?” called a nearby merchant, brandishing a small flask that shimmered faintly in the sunlight. Clearly, the man wasn’t going to miss any opportunity to sell.He gave her the distinct pleasure of a faint smile and a polite shake of his head. “Not today, but thanks.” The merchant glanced up as he passed saying “As he passed his gaze fell on a young boy standing beside the merchant with his hands outstretched each palm held small stones of different colors.”“Lucky charms,” the boy put out

Caster met them along the way quite often, which slowed down his progress. As he fought, he had to wait for them to finish before he could move on. “Hey, Caster! Need a hand?” one adventurer called out, swinging a sword at a monster.“No thanks! I’m good,” Caster replied, keeping his eyes on the battle ahead. He knew he could be accused of stealing if he forced his way through. Caster wished to avoid conflict with others, at least for now. He didn’t want to risk incurring their wrath or losing potential allies. “Once I get a silver-grade card, things will be different,” he thought. With higher levels, prestige wouldn’t be far behind, and the dynamics of encounters would shift dramatically.The level wasn’t that large; if someone knew the way, they could stroll past most dangers and quickly descend to the second level. Caster recalled hearing about hidden paths that only seasoned adventurers were aware of. These shortcuts could be the difference between life and death, especially dee
