Chapter 4: This is magic.
I can\'t believe I forgot about the main part. This is a world of magicians and knights.
Even a small baby can cast a spell.
So that means, I can also use magic right?
I remember writing the basis of magic introduction when I wrote the academic chapters.
Magic is the divine power that flows inside the human body.
Mana is gathered inside one\'s heart by the surrounding environment.
Like how the normal human collected oxygen from the air, mana heart collects mana from the air, water, fire and ground.
Certain programmed spells help mana to materialise in shapes. This is how magic is cast.
But they miss the biggest part.
Magic is also based on one\'s imagination.
"So, If I imagine a small fire on my hand, it will create right?"
He mumbled flame and a small flame appeared on his finger.
"Wow!!!! So this is magic! I don\'t even have to memorize a page-long script to cast fire magic!!"
-when a small fire materialised on my finger, I could feel something going out of my body. I think that is called mana.
I should stop for now. I think it\'s my duty hour. The bell is ringing.
So, my job is to clean the cow dung?
He left while scratching his head.
After a few hours later at night.
In a small room, there was a bed, a table and a chair. And nothing. It was empty.
"At least there\'s no pile of trash and cans like my previous room. "
I smell like shit. There\'s no place for us to take shower in this house.
Yup, the so-called commoners. They take a bath once a week.
No way I can survive like this if I don\'t take a bath after cleaning the whole stable.
Can I cast water magic?
He stood up and took off his dirty clothes.
The floor has holes in it so the water will drain out right? There\'s no one living in this area anyway.
He imagined a small dark cloud on his head and let some mana out of his body. But nothing happened.
He was closing his eyes because he thought it was going to work and cold water would start to fall on his head.
Hm?? It didn\'t work?
He looked up and saw a pillow-sized cloud has formed one foot above his head.
"Wow, it really formed just like I imagined. But how can I make it rain? It\'s so fluffy!! My hands are getting wet when I touch them. Is this what you feel when you touch a cloud?"
Should I imagine rain coming down from it and let some mana out?
He put the cloud back above his head and imagined rain coming down from it. And suddenly,
Drop!!
A small water drop fell on his head. And it started raining.
"Ekkkk!!! It\'s so cold!!!! Warm!! Be warm!!! I like hot showers!!!"
So the water turned warm as soon as he put mana in it.
"It\'s better!!"
He smiled and took a hot shower peacefully.
After he washed his clothes, he dried them by using warm wind magic. He felt so exhausted after using too much mana so he fell asleep quickly.
Next day in the early morning.
"I woke up as soon as I heard the tower bell, it\'s not working hour yet. Should I take a leave today? I need to see the outside world. "
He opened the window and saw it was just midnight.
There are still 5 hours left until sunrise. Did I sleep for 3 hours then? But why do I feel like I\'ve been asleep for so long?
And he suddenly remembered.
People have magic, but they cannot cast magic without spells. Only some high-ranking magicians can cast magic without a spell.
When a normal magician casts a spell less magic they become a high-ranking magician and become hybrid humans who live up to 200-300 years.
"So, when I cast magic without any spell, I became a high-raking magician? How can I forget the part I\'ve written with my own hand!! "
Now, what should I do?
He thought about some moment and decided something.
Oh, yes. There is a way, I must get into the academy next year and study. It is the only way to gather knowledge about this world that I didn\'t write.
Let\'s go out for now. I want to see the city streets and other buildings. Also the royal palace.
The Duke\'s property was divided into 2 parts.
The mansion and workers of the main house were in the 1st part, and the second part belonged to the garden, stable and lake. It was outside the mansion wall so it was on the secondary wall.
Low raking workers stay here in this part, so going outside was not that hard.
He took out his newly washed robe and put it around his body. He hid his face because he didn\'t really like the idea of showing it to anyone.
Back on earth, he used to wear a mask and a cap every time he used to go out. So old habit dies hard.
"Let\'s go out."
He opened the door and left with a little money he found under his bed. It was probably Viktor\'s saving. But that doesn\'t matter anymore.
He closed his door and saw 2 moons shining bright in the sky.
The moon was visible but it wasn\'t reflecting any light. So, there were stars and a planet far away which was also visible to the naked eye. It was spectacular scenery but also scary.
There are two moons but not bright enough to make the world safe.
"Yes, It was my settings after all. Because I couldn\'t see the stars because of the bright moon back in my world. So I wanted to make it possible in my story ."
Even if there are two moons in the sky, the stars are brighter.
"That\'s what I\'ve written. "
He followed the well-paved path and saw a huge iron gate. But there was no guard. So he opened the door and headed to the city...
