14. Magic Is Absolute Power

Interesting… Isaac flew out of the room and sat on his thrown with a huge smile. Now… what should I do… He placed his pinky into his mouth and started to bite his nail and skin.

Goby and the rest of the Goblins came out of the room with Goby standing at the front, already establishing himself as the leader. They really are ugly… I forget sometimes. Isaac contemplated.

“Is someone attacking?” Goby asked politely.

“You heard that announcement?” Isaac immediately removed his finger from his mouth and flew up to the wooden armchair.

“Yes…” Goby answered.

“Can you see a red screen in front of you?” Isaac added.

“No,” Goby answered once more.

Isaac stayed in complete still. Got it. After a few seconds, he raised his wings and flew up to the sky, “Goby, you are now my subject… bring the goblins back to the summoning room, never go out until I say so.”

Goby knelt to the ground and lowered his head, “I will fulfill your first order with my utmost ability, master.” He replied with a tough tone. Isaac was impressed, and then he flew to the middle orb.

[Death Tower]

[Floors: 5]

[Rooms: 10]

[Level: 1]

[Experience: 1/10]

Isaac landed on top of the orb and barely sat without slipping from the smooth surface. Hmmm… There should definitely be something more than this.

[Opening Floor 1 Camera.]

There it is. Isaac smiled showing his teeth. Daki and Karel sound like female names. If there's two that’s good, if there’s one it’s still okay, but if there’s none… that’s unfortunate. He gritted his teeth praying to no God.

A screen appeared directly above the orb and inside Isaac. Ughhh. He groaned. Isaac flew down to the ground and looked at the floating screens. He moved his fingers up in the air and zoomed the screen to the 2 small figures inside the room. Well, I could have just thrown the goblins to kill these mobs but that’s 2000 money that I will never be worth it. He thought as the screen was zooming until the genders of the two could be recognized.

Tsk. A male and a female appeared on the screen. One was a tall man and the other was a petite woman. Better than nothing I guess. Isaac flew up to the orb and turned off the floating screen with just a simple touch and activation from his mind that he still hadn’t fully grasped the implications of.

For the time being I should think of a way to kill them. It hadn’t been more than 30 minutes since the moment he was brought back with his soul completely absorbed with the demon baby and a map added into his system.

Isaac had always been fascinated by magic. From the multiple elements and situations that one could avert with just a simple wave of their hands from a hundred meters away. For someone who could only do close combat and fight with physical guns and arrows, that was something to be jealous of.

Fire and Wind… does that mean I can do Water and Earth too? Magic wasn’t that giving either though. One could only ever use one element out of the four or in some cases they could use two. But out of the 20 Billion humans in the history of the Cataclysm only one was ever able to control all 4 of the elements… and that was, obviously, the Dark Lord, the most powerful being alive.

With his ability of body possessions, through some way that only he knows, he obtained all the elements by possessing bodies that contain that element. He really is some powerful son of a bitch. But if I could do it too… then that could only mean… this world is not as weak as I thought…

Isaac was an intelligent human being, his mind processed thoughts faster than anyone. His analysis also goes way beyond the normal realm, from making plans for a whole month in just a minute, the man could do anything.

Oh well, I’ll know when I find a way to get out of this tower, but I don’t think there is any way other than eating that orb. It was a thought he came up with just at that moment. A core was the lifeline of a dungeon, as long as you destroy it, even the Dungeon Boss would just die. The placement of that orb is actually making me scared though… like what? Why is it in the middle?

Isaac shook his head and got back to his topic. He raised his hands and moved his eyes along all the magic particles in the air. Magic, I know full well that there were no reports about seeing “Magic Particles.” that just means it really is the perk of being a demon. From living on injuries as harmful as a half-destroyed brain and a regenerative ability faster than an Orc or a Dragon, it was a gift that made Isaac shake with a creepy smile.

He formed a tiny fire on his raised-up finger and blew it with wind. Dark Marble, it’s not the hardest rock, but it is one beautiful block. Isaac tried to gather the magic through the marble to move it. Hmm… are Dark Marble magic resistant? Cause if it is… that’s the first time I’ve heard of it. After a few more tries, he gave up on moving the marble, but if magic literally shows the world the definition of fiction, why couldn’t he just make his own?

Isaac raised his hand and slowly curled a rock into existence. He mashed water with his other hand and waved the newly created mud like a laso up into the air. It spun around as his smile opened longer and longer along with the mud. His own adrenaline caught up to him and it became so long that he slashed it against the pillar and broke it into pieces until it disappeared.

Isaac was left speechless with his mouth wide open. Even his mind was completely blank, with only imagery of the infinite possibility magic held cooping in that vast imagination of his.

[You Have Achieved To Recreate The Four Basic Elements.]

[The Skill “Wind Magic” Is Being Absorbed Into Another Skill.]

A skill evolution already? Is this how it feels to be gifted? My System! Wow… It’s like- oh I was about to say something stupid there… I am living a new life, with a new body, in a new fucking world, oh fucking shit! Ahhhhh! Isaac moaned loudly.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

[You Have Acquired The Skill “Primary Magic”.]

What else can I even do? It feels like I have infinite power! Nothing could stop me! It’s common sense! I have infinite mana! I can form anything! Isaac continued. He was starting to get swallowed by his own narcissism that he had locked years ago. Hahaha. He continued to laugh for a few minutes until his adrenaline brought him back.

Shit! I almost lost it there for a sec. Isaac slapped his face multiple times and smashed his head to the ground, and blood splattered around. A huge dent appeared on his forehead and a hole revealed his brains, Ahhhhh!! Isaac screamed internally in pain, even if he wouldn’t die, the damage of such a huge open wound at such an important organ was not something anyone could just ignore.

After the injury had regenerated, Isaac vibrated his head, Okay I’m back, I have to be careful if I don’t wanna go back… Isaac paused and started to review what he had just discovered.

Magic was powerful, that was a definite fact, but the only thing that brought it down was the lack of frequency it held. Humans had minimal mana, casting a meteor covered in fire, or an entire tsunami would drain a human for an entire day. But Isaac was different, with the magic around him, it was possible to infinitely use magic with no limit, though for now, that’s just something he thought.

I have to calm down, after I use the magic particles it doesn’t just turn back into particles, they disappear, they will soon be gone so I need to preserve them. I don’t know where the source of such abundant power comes from, but nothing is infinite. If there was such thing as infinite power… I would be a God.

Isaac stood from the ground and flew up to the orb to look at the progress of the two raiders. Compared to the last guy that had raided his tower, their speed was definitely lacking. Though it hasn’t been long, there really weren’t any monsters to put them up for longer.

He opened the screen from the orb and scoured from the different floors finding no one. Isaac understood it immediately and looked at the fifth floor… his floor.

They’re here… Isaac turned off the screen and flew back to his throne. He didn’t have the appearance of a scary and dominating being, but for presentation and pride, he should at least present himself like how a boss should; sit on a huge throne, inside an unnecessarily huge chamber room.

A couple of minutes passed while Isaac was biting his nails off, the door finally opened running a shiver down Isaac’s spine. Does it really have to scream so creepily? I mean it’s not scary, but it’s annoying to the ears. Ughh… Isaac got serious and presented a cold face.

When the door was wide enough to see the two people, he stared intently at the women. Seeing the man covering the other, Lovebirds? Ughh. He was disgusted.

Isaac raised his hand and spun it counterclockwise as he moved it closer to him. The air being released from the room stopped and was being dragged in. He then raised his other hand and crushed the air around them, getting rid of any oxygen, and suffocating them in the process.

It didn’t take long until the two completely died. It was only a few seconds and they fell to the ground hugging each other.

[You Have Gained 100 Soul Points]

[You Have Gained 100 Soul Points]

Isaac flew to the ceiling toward the human-screaming door. Were they a couple? How envious, must have been a fun life huh boy, that woman is quite attractive. He begrudged him.

Isaac landed on the ground and took the hugging couples away from each other. He dragged the woman inside the chamber and waved his hand up at the thought of lighting him on fire until something came into his mind. Food… I don’t have any food… Hmmm. Isaac was in deep thought. Ehh, I’m not human anymore, it’s not cannibalism.

He held the arm of the other man and just released the two as he flew back to the back of his throne. Isaac forgot that as a tiny little creature, carrying two full-grown humans was kind of a stretch of his physical abilities.

The door to the summoning room was locked, indicating the solitary that Goby might have interpreted what he said a little too much or Isaac was just thinking of the wooden doors as the doors of some prison, making the entire situation far more serious than he thinks.

Isaac made wind turn the knob and entered the room. “You can all go out now.” He told the goblins. “Lead them out and follow me Goby.” He continued. Maybe I should change his name, having a “Y” at the end of such a poorly chosen name is weird.

The goblins were just standing inside the room wrestling. That wasn’t a metaphor for sex or anything, but it was just actual fighting using their bare hands. Isaac was already suspicious of the fast regeneration of the Goblins. As an expert on monsters, he even knew the exact time a goblin heals the normal set of wounds.

He couldn’t waste his time on that at the moment and decided to process that information as he flew into the sky. “Yes, master,” Goby responded. The goblins stood up and arranged themselves in a line.

Isaac flew back slowly to the two dead bodies as the goblins followed. Were they always this ugly at running too? The goblin's arms wiggled around like they were dismembered limbs. Their heads bobbed like spring dolls and their legs moved like chickens. Ughh… Isaac shivered. I am going to get used to this soon… I will… I have to…

Isaac landed on the ground and commanded the goblins, “Carry this male human to the storage room which is right there.” he pointed straight ahead, facing to the left of the room. “Then the female human, carry him to the summoner room.”.

Four Goblins carried the man and the other four, the woman. The group of goblins carrying the woman went on ahead as soon as they carried it. Goby then commanded the other goblins to the direction that Isaac pointed at. They should be okay with the direction.

Isaac flew one last time back to his throne and lay down. I think it has been a very long day, I should rest… nothing will happen if I just leave them be, and if they bang the woman, good, they probably won’t eat them, Goby is there. Isaac closed his eyes and he fell asleep faster than he would have thought.

It was a very eventful first day for Isaac, and it wouldn’t be smooth sailing for the next years either. It was just the first day, the first day of his life as a dungeon boss. Isaac slept like he was dead. Now… what will happen the next day?
