After a few seconds, Shamir regained his composure and his breath returned to normal but the excitement could still be seen in his young features, which has fair skin, dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes could be said his looks are pretty average but still pleasant to the eye.

"Calm down Shamir!"

"You got excited the moment you heard of the prospect of becoming a mage but you only heard that voice but could be very well some sort of hallucination!"

"But it could also be a blessing from the heavens!"

"Alright!"

"There you go again Shamir, getting excited!"

"Ok, building a castle on-air won't take me anywhere, first let's think in what the voice said,

It said it would guide and support me towards becoming a mage, so first I need to know how it would do that." he conversed with himself.

Shamir then inhaled deeply and then exhaled... then not wanting to be disrespectful to the voice he heard, which if he was right belonged to an old man, he asked "Mr. elder could you tell me how can I become a mage?" after all, even if he was plagued by a sea of questions he had to begin somewhere.

The aged voice sound again, "host you will receive the necessary knowledge and training in order to achieve that goal, but it's a long way before you can become a capable mage."

Then Shamir asked aloud, "then can you tell me Why did I receive this system?"

The aged voice responded "host was selected because the host meets the requirements set by my creator."

Shamir was amazed by the answer given by the old voice and tough "that means that I have at the very least enough talent and luck to be selected."

Then he proceeded to ask "Mr elder may I know your's and your creator's name?"

The voice responded yet again.

"Host, my name is magic system but if host is uncomfortable or wants to refer to me by another name then please feel free to select a name host feels comfortable using when referring to the system, regarding the name of my creator I'm unable to tell you it's name for I don't have that knowledge, however I know he is at a level of achievement in magic that human would consider him a deity"

"I see then I can't know how made the system nor why it made it, but still to have a chance to learn magic being a commoner it may be truly a blessing from the heavens" tough Shamir while clenching his fist.

He then continued to ask "Leaving the issue of what should I call you can you tell me if you are the bright light that I saw and why when it entered it hurt so bad?"

"Informing host that what host describes as a bright light was indeed the magic system and the reason why host felt pain was part of the process of integrating the system with the host body and soul" responded the aged voice.

"Then system tell me what's the first thing I need to do to learn magic?" asked Sahmir.

The system then responded "First host need's to pass the tutorial set by the creator, the host would be to stepping in the path of magic, but it's recommended to start the tutorial in a safe place as the host body would be in an unconscious state, as only the host mind can enter the tree abode, which is a space made especially for the host to gather knowledge."

"I see, and for how long will I be unconscious?" asked Shamir.

"The estimated time for the tutorial completion is five years" responded the system.

"WHAT!?" Shamir couldn't help but exclaim as he though with a ragged breath, "how can that be five years? that means I would lose most of my youth, what's wouldn't my family give for dead since I wouldn't wake up for such a long time?"

"Please relax host as a special feature of the tutorial the creator made a special enchantment and during the tutorial time will flow differently in the abode and the real world, so that while in the abode five years will only be around a week in the real world, additionally there will be rewards according to the host performance during the tutorial and his final results."

"What?!" exclaimed Shamir, while he stood beneath the tree with his mouth wide open by how amazing that sounded, to be able to make time flow so differently in a place, even he as a commoner with near to no knowledge of magic knew that such a feat indeed could be only be made by a deity, dissipating any doubt he may have had that the creator of the system was indeed a deity, only remaining the doubt if the deity was a good one or a bad one.
