That Night in Elliz's Room

Elliz sat on the floor of her room, surrounded by a pile of magic books that she had collected. Her gaze was glued to one of the pages that explained the basic theory of magic. Her mind moved quickly. "If all magic requires concepts, why not create one skill that makes it easier to create new skills? Something like... 'Skill Creation'."

She bit her lip, trying to understand how to accomplish this. "A skill is a form of mana that is clearly focused. In that case, I should increase the amount of mana in my body to support this idea."

Without hesitation, she sat cross-legged and began to meditate. The mantra was simple, just regulating the flow of mana in the body. But the impact was immediate. Waves of heat began to spread from the core of her body, making her sweat profusely. As the seconds passed, the pain intensified.

Elliz restrained herself, even though her body was shaking violently and finally vomited blood. She wiped it away with the back of her hand, her breathing heavy. "It's okay... This is just a small step towards my goal." She continued to endure until dawn broke, her mana increasing little by little.

When the morning light began to enter through the window, Elliz's body was completely exhausted, full of sweat. She smiled with satisfaction, even though her body ached every inch. "At least it worked," she muttered.

However, she knew she must not look weak. With simple wind magic, she dried her body and clothes. Then she stood up carefully, catching her breath to look casual.

"I need more information," she thought. She decided that the next step was to visit the royal library. "Maybe there I can find a rare history or magic book that I can use as inspiration for a new skill."

Elliz prepared herself, hiding the pain behind her cheerful face. In her heart, she felt that this was just the beginning of big steps towards the power she dreamed of.

Morning in the Royal Library

Elliz stepped slowly into the royal library, a room filled with tall shelves filled with books. The distinctive smell of ancient paper immediately greeted her. Her eyes shone with curiosity. Wasting no time, she began searching the section containing records on the history of magic and legendary sword arts.

While reading, she came across information about the "Heavenly Sword", a sword technique that was said to only be used by those who had a high affinity with the element of light. This technique combines the magic power of light to create an energy blade capable of destroying darkness. On another page, he read about "Star Magic", which utilizes the power of constellations to summon cosmic energy, producing magic with tremendous destructive power.

However, one thing that caught Elliz's attention was the details written on each note: "This magic requires a deep understanding of the essence of magic and elemental relationships."

Elliz furrowed her brow. "So it's not just a concept like I've been using. To create something like the Heavenly Sword or Star Magic, I also need a deep understanding of how magic itself works."

She sighed. "Then physics and math are not enough. I need more knowledge about the theories of magic."

Elliz continued reading with more focus. On every page, she looked for patterns or clues on how the legendary magic was created. She realized that the secret behind the great power was not just in the basic concept, but in the complex relationship between mana, elements, and magic laws that were bound to the world itself.

She stored all that information in her mind. "If I want to create something truly great, I must understand this world more deeply. Maybe... I should learn all kinds of magic first."

With renewed vigor, Elliz closed the last book and stepped out of the library. A grand plan had formed in her head, she would study magic to its roots, unearthing all the secrets buried in this world. "If there is a limit, I will break it," she thought, with a confident smile.

After the training, in Elliz's room at night

That night, Elliz's room was filled with stacks of books she had brought from the library. A small crystal light illuminated her face. With a pencil and paper in her hand, she recorded what she understood so far.

One of the books that caught her attention was about "Constellation Magic", a magic that was said to be able to summon the power of stars to generate cosmic energy. She pondered. "The stars... Can't that be explained by astronomy? If so, this is some kind of manipulation of celestial objects. But... not only that."

She opened another book on elemental basics. "Each magic element is connected to the mana in the body and the world around. In that case, perhaps this Constellation Magic is not just forming stars from mana, but utilizing the harmony between the body's mana and the elements connected to the sky."

Elliz put down her pencil and stared at the ceiling, thinking hard. "Astronomy and physics can explain the structure of stars, but that's just the basics. The magic of this world is deeper... there is something that blends the physical elements with the spiritual."

Suddenly she realized something. "Magic in this world is not just about concepts that can be explained with logic. There are also emotional aspects and pure intentions in it. Those stars... maybe they were formed because of the resonance between mana and the user's purpose."

With that new understanding, Elliz felt that the first step was to better understand the relationship between mana and the outside world. She smiled with satisfaction. "I have to learn how to connect myself with magic. Maybe that's the key to understanding this magic."

Elliz closed her book and stared at the small illuminating crystal. She knew she still had a long way to go, but one thing was certain...every night, she would continue to explore the secrets of this world. "I will create magic that even this world has never seen," she muttered before finally lying down on her bed to sleep.

Meadow, noon

Elliz stood excitedly, looking up at Sir Goldon who was preparing to give the day's lesson. After several practices, her curiosity grew, and she no longer held back from asking questions.

"Sir Goldon," Elliz said with an enthusiastic look, "What is the most powerful magic? And... how do I achieve it?"

Goldon raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised by the question. He pondered for a moment before answering. "The strongest magic is not just about destructive power, Elliz. There is magic that can destroy, heal, and even change destiny. But, it all depends on the user's mastery, experience, and... intention."

Elliz furrowed her brows, trying to understand. "So, the strongest magic does not depend on its element or form?"

Goldon nodded slowly. "That's right. In history, there are magics like Life Magic, which can bring someone back to life, or Manipulation Magic, which can change everything to your liking while still having limits on the user themselves. But to reach that level, it takes more than just mana. It takes... a deep understanding of this world and an unwavering will."

Elliz gave a sharp look. "Meaning, to achieve that... I have to understand this world completely?"

Goldon gave a small smile. "You're already on the right path. But remember, great power always comes with great responsibility."

Elliz nodded, but her mind was already drifting away. She wondered, if she understood all the elements and harmonies of magic, would it be possible to create something greater than just individual magic? Perhaps... something beyond the limits of ordinary humans.

The training session continued with the explanation of the basic elements, but Elliz's mind kept thinking about Goldon's words. To her, it wasn't just a lesson, it was a challenge she had to conquer.

In Elliz's room, evening

That night, Elliz sat on the floor with a roll of paper open in front of her. She thought of something that had been running through her mind all day, what if she could create a truly unique weapon?

"In this world, materials are more varied," she muttered, jotting down her ideas. "If materials like mithril, orichalcum, and mana crystals exist, why should weapons remain just ordinary swords or bows?"

She picked up a book that discussed rare materials in this world. Mithril, light but very strong, is suitable for making magic weapons. Orichalcum, a material that reflects magic, can be used for defense or counterattack effects. Then, the mana crystal, which can store magic energy.

"If I can create a weapon that combines technology, magic, and nature, then it will not only be useful for offense but also be part of a grand strategy."

She began drawing simple designs. In her mind, she remembered machines from her previous life: slingshots, firearms, even heavy machinery. But in this world, she had to think more flexibly as magic was a major factor.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

The concept began to take shape: a bow that did not require physical arrows, but instead utilized direct mana to create energy arrows. Or perhaps a sword that was able to cut through dimensions because its material was able to conduct magic stably.

Elliz smiled with satisfaction, but she realized one thing. "To make this, I need more than just an idea. I need materials that might even be hard to find, and... more knowledge about the art of weapon forging and magic inscriptions."

Surveying her drawing, she whispered, "This is just the beginning. This world has such vast resources, and I will use them to create something that has never even been imagined."

Elliz tidied up her papers and put everything away in a small drawer. Although her eyes were already heavy, her enthusiasm was still burning. Tomorrow was a new day, and she would continue to pursue her vision. "These weapons... will be proof that I exist in this world," she muttered before lying down on her bed.

Elliz thought of creating a skill that would allow her to create tools, like... "Arcane forge." Elliz muttered before sitting back down to focus on creating that skill, a light appeared on her chest then dimmed

Arcane forge skill created, With this skill, Elliz can create tools or weapons that combine magic and technology. This skill requires a clear picture, including the form, function, and technical details. For example, she can create energy bows, magic plasma swords, or even defense tools such as automatic barriers. This skill is more complicated than Skill creation because it requires internal visualization of each component of the weapon and how it works as a whole.

Arcane forge is powerful because it not only produces weapons but also creates technology that can revolutionize the civilization of that world. However, it requires a much larger amount of mana and a longer time due to its complexity.

Elliz began testing this skill by creating a simple energy sword using the Arcane forge. In the process, she realized that not all materials of this world were suitable, so she had to learn more about rare materials such as mithril or mana crystals.

"If I succeed, I can bring this world into a new era, an era of magic and technology running together," Elliz thought before finally lying back down and sleeping.

In the morning because of the training break, Elliz sat at her desk with a pile of magic books around her. Her crimson eyes shone with enthusiasm, although her body still felt tired after last night's meditation. She called her personal Maid, Lamy.

"Lamy I need your help," Elliz said in a soft, yet determined tone.

Lamy, who had just come in with breakfast, smiled broadly. "Of course, princess! What can Lamy do for you today?"

"I want you to bring me two kinds of books," Elliz said. "First, a book on magical materials and tools. Second, books about ancient technologies that are often dismissed as myths."

Lamy tilted her head, looking a little confused. "Ancient technology? Are you sure, Princess? Isn't that just folklore?"

Elliz smiled slightly. "Maybe it is, but I want to learn about it. If the stories are true, there could be something useful in them."

Lamy looked puzzled then nodded quickly, her enthusiasm undiminished. "Very well, Princess! Lamy will look into it! I'll be back with everything you need."

It didn't take long for Lamy to come back with some big books. One was titled "Material Wonders: Crystals, Metals, and Magic Wood", while the other was "Ancient Technology: The Machinery of the Gods".

"Here you go, Princess!" said Lamy proudly, placing the books on the table. "I managed to find these in the palace library," and she leave the room.

Elliz opened the first book and was soon immersed in reading. Occasionally, she took notes on important things in her little book, while Lamy stood nearby, ready to help at any time.

"Technology and magic may seem like two different worlds, but I'm sure they can go hand in hand," Elliz thought. "I just need to find a way."

Elliz opened the first book, "Material Magic: Magic Crystals, Metals, and Woods", and was immediately drawn to the chapter describing different types of rare materials.

"Mithril, mana crystals, spirit wood... these materials can be used to create weapons and tools with incredible durability and magic power," Elliz murmured, her eyes sparkling.

She read about mithril, which was described as a light metal with the ability to conduct mana perfectly. On another page, mana crystals were mentioned as a medium for storing and focusing magic energy. However, what caught Elliz's attention was spirit wood, which was said to only grow in areas with a high concentration of natural magic.

"Materials like this must be expensive or hard to come by," she thought. "But if I can utilize magic to create new materials or refine existing ones, it could be a breakthrough." Elliz thought and immediately came up with a new skill idea

After reading the book and understanding the material basis of magic, Elliz began to think of something more ambitious.

"If mana crystals can be formed from concentrated magic energy, just like gold or silver are formed from the earth's natural processes, shouldn't I be able to create new materials with a similar concept?" she thought.

She quickly closed her book and began to focus on envisioning the concept. Concentrated magical energy, organized by the right elements and structures, could be condensed into a new material. To that end, she decided to create a unique skill: Material Genesis, the ability to create new materials from magic energy by shaping its structure using a clear concept.

Elliz sat cross-legged on the floor, concentrating her thoughts. "What kind of material do I need? It should be flexible but strong, and can conduct magic energy like a mana crystal. Perhaps this material could be the basis of a new weapon or tool."

She tried to visualize the magic energy in her body flowing out and forming the material. The few times she tried only resulted in energy flakes that disappeared into thin air.

However, she did not give up. "I need to be clearer in the concept. This material should have the strength of metal, but be able to absorb and store mana. Maybe something like a mixture of mithril and mana crystals."

Elliz kept trying, this time envisioning the shape and texture of the material she wanted. Finally, the experiment resulted in a small piece of transparent material with a soft blue luster, like crystal but more solid and sturdy.

She picked it up carefully and observed it. "This is just the beginning," she murmured with a small smile. "If I can master the Material genesis, this world will have new materials that are stronger and more effective for technology and magic."

Although her body's energy was drained, Elliz felt satisfied. She realized that this ability required a lot of mana and concentration, but the results were very promising for the future of her experiments.

After successfully creating Material Genesis, Elliz thought further about its potential.

"If I can create new materials, why not try combining them directly with technology?" she thought. She remembered the Arcane Forge skill, a new idea.

"If I combine Material Genesis with Arcane Forge, I won't have to bother doing this process separately. Instead, I just need to input concepts into the tool, and materials or technology will be created automatically." However, this idea also made her aware of potential dangers.

"This kind of skill is not only revolutionary but also dangerous," Elliz muttered while staring at the blue material flakes she had just created. "If people find out I have this kind of ability, there will definitely be conflict. They could consider me a threat or even try to utilize my abilities for their own benefit."

Elliz sighed softly. She knew that with her power, this world had the possibility to change massively. But she was also aware that such changes were not always well received.

"I have to be careful with this," she thought. "For now, I'll test my skills discreetly. There's no need to rush to show it off."

With renewed determination, Elliz decided to continue her experiment, but this time with more calculation and caution. In her mind, the future of this world was slowly taking shape, and she was already preparing herself for any eventuality to come.

Moving on to the second book, "Ancient Technology: Machines of the Gods", Elliz read about ancient civilizations that used magic-based machines. The book explained the mythical description of the "Core Aether", an energy core said to be able to power large cities indefinitely.

"They combined magic and technology long before this era," she told herself. "If I can understand how they work, I can create something greater."

Each page of the book added new insights, but Elliz also realized that most of the explanations were mere speculation with no real instructions. Even so, she took note of the important ideas and plans to try combining magical materials with her newly learned technological concepts.

"If they can create such great machines, then I can too. After all, I have an advantage over them: I know modern physics," Elliz thought, excitedly.

That day, Elliz spent her time researching, taking notes, and even trying to draw a simple design for a mana crystal-based magic device. Although far from perfect, she knew that this was the beginning of something big.

Nightfall, the room lit only by a small crystal light, Elliz sat cross-legged on the floor with her eyes closed. She pondered the great challenge she faced: how to increase the amount of mana in her body quickly.

"The last meditation almost killed me," she muttered to herself. "But it worked, even though it was painful. If the method depends on age, this will be very annoying."

Elliz recalled her last experience, when the pain almost made her give up, but her determination forced her body to endure. "Improving is about persevering, not just physically, but mentally as well. It's like lifting a weight that keeps getting heavier, if I fail then I'm ruined"

She pondered further. If his body was not strong enough to withstand the process, then she needed to find an alternative. One of her thoughts was on consuming concentrated mana crystals or mana-enhancing potions, but those had great risks if used without restrictions.

"Or... maybe I can create a new technique," she thought. "Not just meditation, but a combination of body strengthening techniques with active mana collection."

Elliz began to strategize in her mind. Perhaps, with an understanding of the flow of magic energy in the body, she could create some sort of new, more effective training pattern to strengthen her mana capacity without torturing her body too much.

However, she realized that experiments like this were risky. "Every step I take comes with a price," he thought as she clenched her fists. "But I won't stop. If this is the path to strength, then I will go through with it, no matter how painful it is."

With that decision, Elliz began to meditate again, but this time carefully controlling the flow of mana so as not to overload her body too quickly. While the pain began to radiate, she persevered, her eyes remained closed, and her mind focused on one goal: transcending her limits.

In the middle of the silent night, Elliz meditated again in the corner of her room, grasping her resolve to increase her mana regardless of the pain she would feel. Her petite body was cross-legged, and she began to take deep breaths, focusing her mind on the core of her mana.

The method she created was a combination of energy concentration and forced mana manipulation. By visualizing the flow of mana as a river, she forced it to flow faster through her body, as if she was expanding the container to hold more. However, this method was painful.

"Hold on...," Elliz thought, biting her lower lip hard until it stung, even bleeding a little. Sweat began to bead on her temples, a hot and cold feeling mixed throughout her body. Every time the flow of mana tried to rebel and create pain in her chest, she forced herself to remain calm, despite almost gasping for air.

To reduce the load, she channeled some of her manas into the air, creating small vortices around her body as a pressure release. However, the process was still exhausting.

Hours passed, and her body began to weaken. Her vision blurred, her breath came in gasps, but she persisted, continuing to force the flow of his semen to move more. The pain radiated like burning embers from within, but her resolve did not waver.

Morning arrived with the soft sunlight shining on her face. Elliz woke up on the floor with a body that could barely move. Her lips were pale, her skin cold, and her breathing weak. But her eyes shone with pride.

"Finally," she murmured with a faint smile on her lips. "I did it."

Although her body felt broken, she could feel the difference in her mana core-his capacity had increased. She had no regrets, despite realizing this method was too dangerous. "This is only the beginning," she thought as she used the rest of her magic to dry her body of sweat and wash away the traces of pain. "I have to keep going, no matter what."

To be continued...
