Hmm… I want to try this combo pack ability first.

Haruya tapped on the three abilities he wanted to try and called out their description.

[MANA MANIPULATION]

ALLOWS THE MANIPULATION OF MANA GAINING THE ABILITY TO SOLIDIFY, MOLD, LIQUIDIFY AND CONDENSATION.

[MATTER MATERIALIZATION]

ALLOWS THE CREATION OF KNOWN MATERIEALS USING SOLID MANA

[MATTER MANIPULATION]

ALLOWS THE MANIPULATION OF HELD MATERIALS GAINING THE ABILITY TO MOLD AND SHAPE MATERIALS TO DESIRED FORM

“Okay I want to try these. Raphael how do I use these three abilities of mine?” Haruya asked his companion, “Because I have no idea how to ‘manipulate’ mana.”

A moment later a voice he knows spoke.

[TO MANIPULATE ALL THREE IS TO USE FEELING. SEARCH WITHIN FOR YOUR MANA AND CALL IT FORWARD INTO YOUR GRASP]

“Feeling huh… Okay lets do this!” Haruya immediately adopted a meditative pose. Relaxing his mind to a calm state that was easier said than done Haruya muttered, “I hope this works.”

Deep within himself Haruya searched for any semblance of his Mana. His world has no mana and magic therefore he had to learn how.

Baby steps Haruya, baby steps…

After grasping at nothing Haruya sighed. “This is not going to work… Raphael can you help?”

[SUGGESTION – IMAGINE YOUR MANA AS LIQUID]

“Ooh.”

*slap*

“How did I not think of that! Thanks Raphael!” Haruya immediately adopted his stance again and searched inside, but now he knows what to search. Within himself was some turmoil that he had to ignore for now. Grasping and flailing inside himself Haruya finally grasped something.

Something cold and free.

MANA!

And he called it forward into his cupped palms. There, a single blue blob of blue flowing liquid mana rested. Eyes and grin widening Haruya shouted in joy, “YES! We did it!” Quickly standing up again Haruya thrusted the blob towards the air.

“Raphael thank you so much!”

Haruya was sure he heard a grateful mutter. Looking to the blob again Haruya concentrated. If the concept to Mana Manipulation can apply to Matter Materialization and Manipulation as well it is worth learning it.

Imagining and feeling the mana in his hands and noting their feel Haruya delved into the feeling and changed it. From free to sturdy. From cold to slightly warmer. From soft to rough. And when he looked at it again it has lost its shimmer and there instead is a lump of iron.

“Iron at its purest form created!” Haruya took the iron and felt for its form again. This time he would mold the iron to its final form.

Feeling for its shape instead Haruya imagined it in his mind’s eye. He shaped it and molded it to a picture. He wanted this to happen. He wanted this as a memory. The emotional turmoil that he had hidden within himself to stay strong shaped the lump of iron. Giving life to it with various colors and complicated shapes.

A single tear dropped as Haruya imagined his family. His mother…

Father…

And his beloved little sister…

A sob escaped his mouth as he imagined it clearly as he could.

And when he opened his eyes a single metal picture frame rested in his hands. The complete picture of his family all around him on his last birthday.

Kaa-san…

Tou-san…

Imouto…

I’m sorry…

A single tear of made entirely of light fell onto the frame as his emotional dam broke. He couldn’t believe that his life is over among them. “I hope you mourn for me and move on…”

Another sob escaped as Haruya broke down crying, clutching the picture close to his heart.

----------------------------------------

After an entire half an hour crying and moping Haruya finally steeled himself.

A new world a new life. The past is the past now and I can’t change it. I will instead remember it for as long as I live instead.

Taking a deep breath and focusing at the matter at hand Haruya called forth another blob of Mana. This time he is going to make something sharp.

Lets do this. Kitchen knife it is.

Getting a feel for the Mana he turned it into metal. Ferum Carbon alloy to be exact. Basically he had just made steel. Feeling for its shape as well Haruya pictured it in his mind. A simple kitchen blade.

Moving his hands and caressing the blob Haruya guided it to form his thoughts. The blob began to elongate into a cylinder before flattening. A part of it took form into a flat blade before everything took form into a normal kitchen knife.

“This, is worse than I thought.” Haruya commented as he took a curious look at the blade. Seeing the odd form Haruya sighed, “Its dull and a part of it is bloated… Maybe I have to imagine in in 3-D instead?” Deciding its time to consult Raphael Haruya asked.

“Do I have to form it with all details perfected?”

Calculating its answer Raphael replied.

[TRUE, ALL DETAILS MUST BE PERFECT]

Sighing at the expected answer Haruya looked at the blade again. This time he tried again.

----------------------------------------

“Yes! It worked!” Haruya shouted in joy as a sharp kitchen knife rests in his hands. “It took me 10 tries but it finally paid off.”

Playing with it a bit Haruya was hit with a thought. Asking Raphael again that Haruya winced. “Raphael how do I use this knife in the world?”

He had been overly dependent on Raphael. Later he would try to discipline himself and be independent. He would try to not bother Raphael way too many times.

[THE WALL OF THIS PLACE IS THE MATERIALIZATION POINT. ALL CREATED OBJECTS WILL BE MADE REAL WHEN PASSING THROUGH THE WALL]

Looking at the see through wall to his side Haruya was confused. How does someone make an object pass through a wall?

Deciding to do so anyway Haruya stabbed the knife through the see-through wall. The knife swiftly left his hands as if there was nothing there and fell straight to the ground and bounced off before stopping.

Eyes widening in surprise at the unexpected pull Haruya then quickly made another blob. This time he made a simple paper airplane and threw it within himself. It flew straight before simply flying through the wall, and caught an updraft as it flew further away.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

“That is awesome… I wonder…” Haruya called forth another blob of mana. This time he made a boomerang. Simple in shape but agile and easy. Taking the wooden boomerang and aiming Haruya threw it with considerable force. It flew out of his trunk and reached its peak before flying back down. Haruya expectantly held out his hands to catch it.

It unfortunately banged against the bark creating ripples in the see-through wall. Frowning Haruya put down his hands.

“Thought so…”

I can’t pull back whatever I had pushed out… Then I can’t push this picture frame away from me then.

Taking the picture of his family with a sigh Haruya floated upwards to his Amber Heart Core and placed it on the heart. Sighing in contentment Haruya floated back down. His body is tall enough to even rival a mountain therefore it took some time.

----------------------------------------

Remembering about the knife that he had made he sent a free root to it and took it. Willing the root nearer with the knife Haruya floated to the wall and phased through.

Haruya had tried to get himself materialized by walking through the wall earlier. It failed and Haruya then found out that he couldn’t interact with anything physical.

Haruya took a critical look at the knife and called for its description. A window opened up and Haruya took a look at it.

[KITCHEN KNIFE]

DAMAGE: 10

DURABILITY: 100

GRADE: C

RANK: NOVICE

REQUIREMENTS: 4 STR

ENCHANTMENTS: NONE

Hey what’s this? Enchantments?

Intrigued Haruya requested Raphael’s assistance.

“What is this Enchantments and how do I do it?” Interested in the subject of enchanting objects as is in-game Haruya excitedly waited for an answer.

[ENCHANTMENTS ARE ELEMENTAL MAGIC CIRCUITS OR RAW MAGIC ITSELF INFUSED INTO THE OBJECTS GRANTING SPECIAL EFFECTS OR INTENDED BOOSTS TO ONE’S AFFINITY TO UTILIZE MAGIC INACCESSIBLE BY THE USER. TO ENCHANT IS TO INFUSE AN AMOUNT OF ELEMENTAL MANA OR A SPELL MATRIX INTO THE DESIRED OBJECT. SUGGESTED ELEMENTAL MANA]

“Okay… Time to experiment!” Quickly taking a look at the blade Haruya placed his ethereal hands around the blade. Like how Mana Manipulation was used Haruya applied it to here as well. Instead of feeling for Mana he instead felt for a familiar feeling. The feeling of fire.

Warmth, Sear, Heat, Infuse!

A sudden feeling of warmth concentrated on his hands appeared and Haruya took a look at the kitchen knife. What he saw amazed him.

“Woah… It worked… But that fire that left my hands…”

Taking aim, Haruya felt for fire again. From the palms of his hands the feeling of warmth surged forth and out came a single torrent of fire that immediately died out.

Surprised, Haruya looked at his hands.

I can shoot elemental magic without incantations, sugoi!

The blade that had been infused with fire mana glowed red. Haruya took another look at its description.

[KITCHEN KNIFE]

DAMAGE: 10

DURABILITY: 100

GRADE: C

RANK: NOVICE

REQUIREMENTS: 4 STR

ENCHANTMENTS: FIRE BLADE

“Ooh there is an enchantment!” Quickly using his root pseudopodia Haruya went and created a single wooden plank within himself and brought it out. The moment the plank got out of the trunk it materialized causing it to slip from his grasp and fall to the ground. Sighing Haruya guided his root there instead.

Calling up another 2 roots Haruya took the plank and positioned it between the 2 roots. The root holding the blade took aim and Haruya sent it down. The knife cut through the plank with no resistance.

“I expected resistance as it is a kitchen knife but seriously?!?” Marveling at the Fire Kitchen Knife Haruya decided to keep it somewhere safe. Making a single wooden box laced with stone inside Haruya stored the knife within and dug a hole and promptly buried it.

Better safe than sorry…

----------------------------------------

Haruya had experimented with an astounding amount of materials. He know now that certain materials had to be imagined perfectly with all the details otherwise the material made is just a replica. He tried to make Uranium. What came out was a glowing green ore that just glowed. It’s description even called it the “Glowing Green Ore”.

But Haruya now had an idea. His enchantment experiment had worked and his gamer mindset urged Haruya to create something.

Something really overpowered.

“Let’s make a sword!” Haruya declared. Deciding to simply use Steel since it is easier Haruya began to create.

Calling forth a bigger blob of mana, Haruya started to mold it into a sword of his own design.

He started with the blade first. The blade edge was kept steel but its core was replaced with lead-iron alloy instead. It made an interesting combination. The blade curved inward at the middle thinning the blade and making it a bit fat at the end.

Deciding to create the handle next Haruya made it as simple and comfortable as he could. The core of the handle was filled with the same lead-iron alloy fusion and its grip was dry leather. A two-pointed fork sat at the base of the handle.  Fusing both parts together got him a single sword.

“Hmm. This looks odd…” Haruya contemplated his next move. The sword looked odd and incomplete. He took another glance and then remembered.

“The guard! Of course!” Taking the sword and calling forth mana Haruya laughed to himself. “Silly me.”

He made a guard that looked like two wolf fangs and flattened it. Installing it on the sword made it perfect.

As aesthetics he added a four-pointed star at the intersection of the sword as a binder and some fake runes along its blade core.

As he looked at it Haruya felt proud. His gamer sense satisfied by the powerful look.

“But this is just a normal sword without enchantments, so I will enchant it to the max!” Deciding to create a magic sword instead Haruya then remembered.

He doesn’t know the entire elements of Esevia.

Haruya opened his status screen and looked at his affinities. Tapping on it and calling its description it came as another window screen.

[ALL KNOWN ELEMENTS OF ESEVIA]

THE ELEMENTS: FIRE / WATER / EARTH / AIR / LIGHT / DARK / SPIRIT / NATURE / LIFE / DEATH

“Alright! Time to enchant all of this into one sword.” Haruya called more elemental mana and was ready to infuse until he was interrupted by a screen from Raphael.

[WARNING: ELEMENTAL ELEMENTS OF FIRE WATER EARTH AIR LIFE AND DEATH MAY NOT BE PAIRED WITH LIGHT AND DARK. DOING SO IS CATASTROPHIC]

Looking at the screen instantly dropped his excitement.

“Oh… Okay, thanks for warning me Raphael.” He chuckled a bit. “Wouldn’t know what would have happened without you.”

Deciding to drop the elements except Light and Dark Haruya made his choice.

A blessed and cursed blade.

From what he could tell is that Life is Healing Magic and Death is, well death.

Light and Dark are probably Holy and Unholy magics.

A holy and unholy sword… haha!

Doubling both Light and Dark mana held within both his hands Haruya pressed it into the sword.

At first they resisted with explosive power before they finally relented to Haruya’s will. Both mana types obediently fusing itself to the sword.

The lead core suddenly became pitch black and its fake runes gaining light. It was as if there was glowing blood running within the blade core itself.

The sword glowed with holy light as well, gaining a aura that wrapped around the sword. The four-pointed star gaining a stronger shine signifying the place where the mana most resided. From the tips of the star two strands of pure magic leaked as thin glowing ribbons of darkness and light that swirled around the sword before merging back to the tip of the sword.

“Finally! It’s complete!” Haruya declared to the world as he hoisted the blade upwards. “The blade that is both balanced in build, and in nature is complete!”

Taking a look to its description Haruya gasped.

[BLESSED CURSED SWORD]

DAMAGE: 1150

DURABILITY: –

GRADE: s+

RANK: MASTER

REQUIREMENTS: 100 STR 50 VIT 30 INT 30 WIS 100 STA

ENCHANTMENTS: SMITING LIGHT / EBON CORE / RETURN

Interested in the enchantments Haruya tapped on it.

[HOLY SMITE]

DEALS 150% DAMAGE AGAINST UNHOLY CREATURES

[EBON BLADE]

CURSES ANY WHO IS STRUCK FOR 10 SECONDS DEALING 1% OF THEIR MAXIMUM HEALTH EACH SECOND AND IS DOUBLED AGAINST HOLY AND NEUTRAL CREATURES

[RETURN]

ALLOWS THE SWORD ITSELF TO WARP TO A PREVIOUS LOCATION

“Woah! Haha! Sugoi, I made a cool sword!” Haruya laughed as he held the sword. It was light. Probably because it is not materialized yet. Excitedly pushing the blade nearer to the wall Haruya giggled.

“This is better than what I expected! Raphael what do you think of this sword?” Haruya asked his companion’s opinion. “Isn’t it great?”

[I AM UNABLE TO ANSWER THAT. BUT THE STATS IT HAS IS ENTIRELY PREFERABLE]

Nodding in understanding Haruya pressed the blade out.

Not once did he think that the blade would have interesting effects to the world.

That was what happened as the blade suddenly fell faster than his root could follow, stabbing the ground to the middle of the blade. What follows was more surprising.

An earthquake pulse traveled from the point of impact and had rattled his roots within. Haruya also heard a sound. From what he could identify was the sound of a roaring demon, and the hymn of an angel.

“What was that?!” Haruya exclaimed, surprised. He had not expected that.

[THE EFFECT OF THE SWORD UPON REALITY]

“Woah that was dangerous. Was that why you warned me not to put other elements?” A mental image appeared in his mind of what would have happened. Involuntary shuddering at the image Haruya shook it away. “Thanks Raphael…”

----------------------------------------

The city of Aratheia was in chaos. An earthquake so strong and both sounds had stirred the populace into chaos. Only the children was mesmerized by the hymn. The king had immediately addressed the civilians.

“Citizens! Do not worry! We will investigate the source and vanquish it!”

“We’re doomed!”

“Ahh!”

“CITIZENS! I promise you to vanquish the demon that had did this! Do not worry!”

----------------------------------------

“My lord, there seems to be a disturbance to the north.” A woman with horns and a tail had announced. From what could be seen is a succubus.

A big hulking being on a throne of dark stone and skulls straightened.

“Yes Veeris, I had noticed. I believe something big is happening. Send some demons to scout it out at once.” The being said with authority. The succubus visibly shuddered.

“Acknowledged, Maou-sama” The succubus hurriedly scampered out of the throne room. Alone in the throne room the Demon King smiled.

“I will acquire that power for myself, whoever had done such wondrous show of power…”

----------------------------------------

“Achoo!” Haruya sneezed.

Is it possible I can get a cold?..

Contemplating the odd thought Haruya dismissed it.

Nah…

Dissmissing it Haruya looked at the sword. A root grasped at it and Haruya shuddered. Suddenly a voice emanated from the sword. “Otou-san!”

Almost dropping the sword at the recognizably rough demonic yet childlike voice Haruya looked at it critically.

“Otou-san!” Eyes widening, Haruya brought it closer to himself.

*DING*

[SENTIENT SWORDCRAFT DISCOVERED]

Sentient Swordcraft?! This sword is alive?!

Slightly panicking Haruya placed the sword back into the ground. That was when things go horribly wrong.

“Otou-san! Otou-san!!” The demonic childlike voice cried out in sadness. Despite his panic Haruya reluctantly picked it back up. Its voice returned to cheery back again. Cheers of happiness was heard as Haruya suddenly felt at ease again.

“Why do you call me Otou-san?” Haruya asked it. The sword’s gender was easy to assume but it shouldn’t be done so. The sword replied, “Because you created me, Otou-san”

“Then are you a boy or a girl?” He asked. It was a stupid question but he must find out. What came out embarrassed him. “Whats that?”

Facepalming, then deciding to ignore that fact instead Haruya looked at the sword.

“Otou-san, give me name!” the sword asked in a cutely horrifying manner. It’s voice decidedly demonic in nature.

Confused by the request Haruya asked it. “Name? Why do you need one?”

And immediately it answered. “Because Otou-san created me?”

Deciding to just go along with it Haruya gave it a name thought suitable. A legendary sword in any game that had the tag Fantasy.

“Fine then, how do you like Excalibur?” He suggested. It was a male sword name but it depends on this ‘child’ of his.

A happy voice replied with fervor. “I like it Otou-san! Thank you!”

Heart warming up, Haruya decided that he didn’t want anyone to steal Excalibur.

Therefore he decided to create a grove just for it. Using his Growth Control he forcibly expended the last of his mana for the time growing more roots that created a dome over Excalibur’s resting place. Creating a stone plate with a single sword slit in the middle Haruya placed it in the dome’s centre. The dome itself had a hole over the dome shining light in a pillar over the stone.

“This is your new home, you will be protected by me forever Excalibur…” Haruya said before he gently stabbed Excalibur into the slit, and it locked into place. Excalibur happily vibrating in joy at the new home. It was reminiscent of the Arthur and the Excalibur sword story that he had read before.

I know that this is really weird that a sword became sentient and is calling me its father. Haruya took a look at the sword that was happily vibrating in its new home. But just because of my human life had no such thing and only in games and anime, I should'nt go and just snuff this one out...

"Excalibur, tell me if you find a wielder you like alright?" Haruya told Excalibur. Even though the sword is young and new to the world Haruya believes it is better for someone worthy to hold him. "Yes Otou-san!"

Chuckling a bit Haruya gave a warm smile.

Ahh… What a wonderful day.
