When someone asks me what I like, my answer is of course things that are beyond reason.

What are the things that are beyond reason, you said?

Well, something like magic, space travel, No Life No Game 2…

I guess?

In this world, magic existed. Even though this was Earth, let me say it again, magic existed.

In 1988, the first catastrophe occurred.

The monsters coming from Abyss Gate brought with them powerful and mysterious energy. This energy, comprised of magical molecules, permeated every corner of the planet, seeping into the very earth itself.

As the monsters rampaged across the globe, humans began to realize that they could harness this magical energy for themselves, their bodies had been tempered by magical molecules so they could control magic as easily as breathing.

Those who could harness magical energy without awakening and without the help of the system were called the Wizard.

Unlike the Enhanced, they did not own a system and could never have one for an unknown reason.

Even as the one who wrote the story, I myself do not know about that… never want to think too much, they just can not have a system.

Together with the Enhanced, they drove off the monster from Earth and won the first catastrophe. But, after the death of Garuda, the Wizard made their own organization known as Wizard Circle.

There were some conflicts between Omega and the Wizard Circle in the past which were not recorded in any book history or internet. People who tried to bring up the topic related to that would disappear the next day.

Back to when the magical molecule first appeared two years after the monster came to Earth. Over time, the magical energy began to shape the new Earth, giving birth to new creatures and changing the environment.

Plants grew larger, animals evolved in unexpected ways which we called 'beast' or 'mutant', and even some of the geography of the planet was transformed due to magical energy overload and created base dungeons and dimensional rifts.

Those most affected by the magical energy were the oceans, and the Earth's sea, which covered 70% of the Earth's surface.

The oceans became infused with magical energy, causing massive changes in marine life and the underwater landscape.

Entire new species of sea creatures emerged, some with incredible magical abilities, and the oceans themselves became more turbulent and dangerous.

Some people even said that they had seen mythological sea creatures lurking in the oceans.

Sea transportation was forbidden since 2005 and if there was someone who dare crossed the sea by ship or boat, the Wizards who already planted their detection magic would immediately punish those people.

They did not want to disturb the sea yet when the problem on the surface was still not resolved, there were still so many monsters and wild beasts roaming the forest and mountain and other places with dense magical energy.

As humans, or precisely the wizards learned to harness and control magic, new technologies and industries emerged.

The Hero Organization—Omega and the Wizard Circle reconciled and became a powerful force in 2008.

The Omega's heroes acted as the front face of humanity, the defender of Earth, and the invader of the monster realm known as the dungeon. Meanwhile, the Wizard Circle acted as the architect, developing the Earth.

They played a role in maintaining order and security in the world, especially in the face of continued monster attacks and the emergence of a dangerous opposing group, the Villain.

All of those history and world evolutions were only because of one incident that gave birth to a new component on earth called 'magic'.

Magic, what a fascinating word it was.

Everything was considered magic when someone had no idea what was going on because explaining with science would just make their head explode.

That's why I like the sound of 'magic' because I did not need to think too much and explain things from science view.

But well…

"To create a spell, other than understanding the spell incantation and formation, you also need to understand the amount of magical energy required to sustain it. The magic required depends on the intensity and duration of the spell,"

'Huh?'

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Think of it like this. If you want to create a barrier, the intensity would refer to the size and defense power of the barrier. The duration would refer to how long you want the barrier to protect you for."

'What???'

The wizard pulled out a dusty old tome from her storage cube and flipped the pages.

"We wizards use this formula to calculate the amount of magic required," she explained. "M = P x t. M represents the magic required, P represents the power or intensity of the spell, and t represents the duration of the spell."

'What the hell is she talking about? M = P x t? What the hell is that?!'

"Let's say you want to create a spell to create a mana barrier that lasts for 10 seconds. We need to determine the amount of magic required to sustain a barrier of that size and duration. Assuming the power of the barrier is 5 units, we can calculate the energy required as follows: E = 5 x 10, which equals 50 units of magical energy or mana."

'???'

"And then we recite the incantation while channeling that amount of energy into the spell to create a barrier!" She exclaimed. "With practice and mastery of these formulas, you can create an even faster spell-casting speed or probably reduce the amount of mana required to create a spell of the same quality!"

Reality often betrays expectations. And this was the very example of that quote.

I had never expected that there would be a formula to use magic efficiently. All this time with mana-coating Shannon taught me, she only told me about the technique, and never had she mentioned this.

If only I knew about this earlier, my mana-coating would last even longer. No. If only I was thoroughly and dedicated to writing the story, I would have known about this in the first place.

'Huu… well, one can never be late to learn…'

After the class ended, I immediately headed to my dorm room. Zia was nowhere to be found.

Good, it was my chance!

I sat on the floor with my legs crossed, in a meditation position.

While the memory was still fresh, I immediately applied the knowledge I got from the Magic Specialization Course earlier.

Meditating was the way to increase my magic energy and raised my magic stats, of course, it was meditation.

I had tried meditating before, but it was to circulate my mana and direct it to my magic core.

This time it was different, according to what the wizard said, what I needed to do was not to circulate the mana I already have in my magic core but to absorb the natural magical energy and spread it across my body then circulate it again.

I was not sure that I could absorb much magical energy in my room but let's give it a try.

I sat cross-legged on the floor of my dorm room, taking deep breaths to calm my mind.

Instead of focusing on what I already had, I needed to concentrate on absorbing and expanding my magic pathways.

Closing my eyes, I visualized the energy flowing through my body, its pathways becoming wider and more flexible.

With each breath, I felt my magical energy channels stretching and expanding like a muscle being stretched during a workout. It was a slow and gradual process, but I could sense the difference as I continued to meditate.

As I opened my eyes, I felt a newfound sense of power and energy coursing through me. It was as if my magic capacity had increased, my mind became clearer, and my body felt lighter than before.

"[Status]" I said excitedly.

I smiled to myself, feeling proud of my progress.

"Finally, it raised by one rank… and not only that, my Charisma and Stamina also increases!"

I closed the window screen and stretched my body.

Crack–! Crack–!

I heard some satisfying sounds of bone creaking because of the long still position.

When I checked outside my window, it was already late at night.

Standing up, I headed to the bathroom and took a joyful shower.

It was a bit strange though. The clock already showed that it was 11 PM but I did not see Zia anywhere.

'Maybe she's having a sleepover in her classmate's room?'

Well, she could defend herself if a problem arose.

Feeling heavy in my eyes, I jumped in my bed and the softness of the bed immediately absorbed me and guided me to the dream world.

Haa… What a life…

It had become easier and easier as time went on…

I hope it would keep like this…
