Part 1 – Lost Conciousness
From my body cracks started to appear as well. At this rate am I going to end up like the bracelet. All broken and stuff. I don't want to end up like that. This game is so realistic that falling apart like that would be similar to torture.
################################################################################
Something is entering my head! Damnit it hurts beyond hell. It makes the training from the church seem painless.....what training?.....what was I doing?.......who am I?...............
Part 2 – Sealing
Its finally time for the part of the training before Eden has all of the tools he needs to collect those mana fragments. Lets see he definitely needs some more advance techniques to manipulate the elements but what about giving him some healing abilities as well since he is pretty weak. If that's the case then might as well give him some defence spells as well. Then what about curses that weaken the enemy. Or I can force all of this into his brain. Yes that's what I'm going to do.
BBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM
What was that? I detect a distortion in time and space. What the hell did Crysero do this time. Wait, the origin of this distortion is where Eden should be....crap.
I ran quickly in the room where Eden was suppose to be and found him....in the centre of all of this destruction with Crysero grinning like an idiot on the side.
“CRYSERO. What did you do this TIME!!”
Everything that's bad happens one way or other due to him.
“Oh I place 'that' into Eden. I thought it might help him overcome his weak nature.~”
No. What the hell did you do now?
“Wait 'that'? You mean that book with that thing in it!”
“Yes~”
As I was arguing with Crysero the distortions became bigger and bigger. A number of things were being drawn in and destroyed. My good furniture....
“Damnit help me seal him NOW!” I shouted commanding Crysero to help me fix his mistakes.
“Yes Yes~”
Judging you the power he has now it'll need the highest level of sealing possible...no that's still not enough...have to use two or three of them on his body.
“Crysero! Hold the surge of power now!”
Countless magic circles designed to keep the flow of mana stable surrounded Eden's body which was already almost completely consumed by the being called [llyfr]. A very dangerous and powerful existence that rivals a God. Although separating them is impossible now I can still make it so [llyfr] can't control his body. [llyfr] was sealed in a book by several forces to get rid of it since it can't be removed from existence.
This feeling....Crysero's spells are working. The amount of mana pouring out is decreasing. At this rate we can contain it without resorting to purging Eden's body. After what seemed to be eternity I heard something weird.
THUMP THUMP THUMP
The sound of heartbeats? What? My mana...its being drained. But where.....it can't be?! [llyfr] is sucking our mana from our body. This never happened before?!
“Crysero!”
Now is the time for the sealing. We can't let it gain more mana from us.
“Yeah~”
“Let the chains of God Bind you!”
“Wrapped around your soul~”
“Dancing in the moonlit day!”
“Weeping in the sunless night~”
“Bring forth the despair known as hope!”
“For all eternity~”
“Heavenly 12 element Seal!!!!!!”
“Heavenly 13 element Seal!!!!~”
Wait what? 13 not 12?
“Crysero what did you do.......”
“Hmm? Added the bacon element in~”
“No.”
“Yes~”
“The sealing won't be balanced then.”
Who on Earth would want to use the bacon element anyway....
“It'll be interesting to see~”
“No we have to redo the seal again now.”
“Awwwwwwwwwwwwww~”
“Lets start again.”
After some time we managed to redo the seal after the......I don't to think of it.
Twelve balls of representing each element appeared around Eden's body. From each of them a chain came out made of a different element each and covered his body in it. In one swoop action it tightened and bounded itself to Eden's soul.
I can feel it. The mana coming form Eden's body is being suppressed. But its still not enough. The highest ranked sealing spell that we have access to isn't enough.
“Crysero the second one!”
“Right-o~ Bacon element Seal!”
Not again.....
“CRYSERO”
“What?~”
“Why are you using the bacon element you created as a seal?!”
“Because its fun~”
This man infuriates me to no end.
“Unseal!”
The damn bacon seal that Crysero placed on Eden came undone. And once more the power he now held went loose. Preparing a proper seal I said, “Five element Seal!”
Five symbols representing the 5 core elements of the world appeared. They merged together and sucked the excess power from Eden's body. The symbol then implanted itself on Eden's chest.
“That was close.” I said looking at the unconscious Eden.
“True~” said Crysero still making a smirk at the situation.
I went up to Crysero and started to pull his cheeks.
“This is again your fault you know!”
“It hurts It hurts. Please stop.” Crysero tried to plea with me but I'm not going to fall for it. Even of you felt some remorse you'll do something even more dangerous next time. Time? Yes what time is it now. Hmm...its been a couple of hours since the incident first started. As expected from a being that once drove the world mad with its chaos. Well the only thing left to do is observe the current situation and wait for Eden to awaken.
“Crysero do you know any processors of [llyfr] having the power to absorb mana?”
“None of the previous processors had that power but [llyfr] originally had that power.~”
Part 3 – New Power
I woke up to the cold hard stone floor again. This is really becoming annoying. Not because its a running gag now but it seriously annoying that I wake up at random places now every time I faint due to one thing or the other. I looked around the room and found that it was trashed? What the hell happened here? Anyway I should find Warlic or Crysero. Preferably the former. Wait why am I shirtless? And what's with this weird symbol on my chest? Its some sort of marking....is that a word ? Maybe maybe not. Who cares right now.
I tried to leap off the ground gently as usual to get up.
BANG
My head hit the ceiling.
You have lost 50 mana
Damn I took damage to my health? Why does it say mana? I dropped to the ground again this time on my butt. It didn't hurt as much as I expected.....what was going on?! Wait! Why were there weird markings on my arms now? It looked like I tattooed myself. I noticed that the markings on each arm was the same except when it reached my hands. They also had some characters or a word on them which I had no understanding of. It kinda looked like some Latin but I have no intentions to search the meaning of it up at all.
I got up again this time making sure that I don't jump into the ceiling again. Now where did those two go.
“We're behind you.”
“Yep~”
“FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK”
“Stop being all surprised. You should be used to this.” commented Warlic showing no concern that normal people don't deal with this.
“True now that you have that I expected more~”
What is that? You mean the book you placed in me? By the way can you explain everything from the start so I can understand.
“It seems like your confused. Weird I expected the possessor of the Tyrant [llyfr] would know the current situation like all the past ones.”
Tyrant? IIyfr?
“Maybe its because we sealed it~”
“True. How are you feeling. From your current state which had your head implanted into my ceiling and still running about, fine I guess.”
So why did you ask in the first place?
“Also you should check the differences in your body now. Your not exactly human any more, despite have the form of one.”
Not human? I guess that explains the weird markings and such.

The hell is this? When did I get a title? And what's with these stats added on as well.
“Hey Warlic, what does Anhrefn, Awdur Dim and Darllenydd o'r holl mean?”
Warlic took a moment and said, “Chaos, Writer of none and Reader of all in that order. Its in Welsh....”
“So my race is now chaos?”
“Well the first one can be translated as Disorder as well and the last one can be translated as no author thanks to Google translate.”
You used google translate?
“Is there a difference between it and humans?” I asked a bit concern that something may have disappeared.
“Yes.”
Oh great something must have disapppeared.
“What these differences?”
“First they are much more brutal with the strength to back it. All of them poccess massive amounts of knowledge and wisdom. And all of them were slain or sealed in the past.”
So...nothing disappeared?
“So...why are my physical and magical stats amplified?”
“Probably due to your new race, class and title now.”
That makes sense.
“Hmm...did anything else changed? Skill Window!”

Absorb 1 mana per second passivelyMana Shield Beginner Level 1 (0%)
To create a shell to protect the user form all harm big and small. Also known as a borg in some places, magicians of the past often used this in battle to protect themselves from physical and magical attacks. Only one shell can be produced at a time but as the skill levels up the number of shells produced and the strength of each shell will increase.
Cost: 100 mana
Shield Health per use: 100
Number of Shields can create at one time: 1Creation Magic Beginner Level 1(0%)
The power that rivals gods themselves. To create matter requires energy. This comes from any source in exchange to bypass the laws set at the beginning of time. Anything can be create as long as there is enough energy or mana to make it. The strength of the object made and the length at which it lasts will increase with the level.
Mana used per cubic metre: 1000
These seems interesting to play around with but what is this unknown skill? Are there some conditions to unlock it?
“So what changed?” asked Warlic concerned about me.
“Umm..the masteries of the 8 elements combined into one skill called elemental mastery. I think it just combined into one skkill, then there's these three new skills. Mana absorption, mana shield and creation magic...and there's an unknown skill there.”
“I see those are your skill set.”
“I'm sorry?”
“Each possessor of the thing your habouring each have their own set of skill as a side effect. Mana shield is pretty common but the other two creation magic and especially mana absorption are very rare to have. Naturally they are much more powerful but can come with very servere side-effects from using them too much.”
“Yeah I can't control the mana absorption at all and the strength and range increases as the skill levels up. Even now my body is absorping mana from the area....but for some reason the two of you aren't effected. Does it not effect humans then?”
“No it does effects humans. Its just that we're a bit different.”
“How so?”
Now I'm curious...
“I have no mana to begin with. To be more precise I gain mana form using spells.”
Wow that sounds really overpowered. Having no limit.
“Even though I have no limit to the amount of power I can have, there is a limit where I could just explode from the amount of mana I process in my body. Which is also the reason we put those seals on you. To prevent you from exploding into bits....”
So you helped me not explode because you have that fear as well....
“I see what about you Crysero?”
“Hmm....how do I explain this~”
Explain it normally please.
“Think about how oil and water doesn't mix~”
Huh? I don't get it. I hoped you explain it normally.
“He means that he has other 'sources' in and out of his body.”
That also doesn't make sense....
“Don't think of it too much. All you need to know is that your mana absorption doesn't effect us.”
“Good.”
“But everyone else will. That means we have to put another seal on you. Tell me how much mana you have now.”
What? Okay I have...
“Holy Shit! I have over 5000 mana now!”
“Okay then. I put the limit of your mana to 5000.”
Eh?
“Why?” I asked with a frown. Why couldn't it be higher like 10000 or something.
“Haven't you been listening.” Warlic face palmed himself to my objection.
“Anyway the limit will increase as your body gets stronger so do some physical activities as well.”
Warlic grabbed my hands and looked at them before saying, “Burning Snake Seal!”
My hands suddenly became hot. Very hot. Too hot.
“Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow .”
My hand was burnt black from whatever Warlic did. I looked at my hand and saw that there was a circle with a snake on my hands instead of the weird words.
“So what did you do?”
“Limit your maximum mana and stopped the mana absorption. Though both effects are temporary. The first one won't come off unless you do something stupid and the second one will be removed when you go into battle unless you want to fight being restricted by the amount of mana you have at a time.”
“Okay.....”
“Now that your body can probably survive in the real world, we can get you to start the gathering of the mana fragment at last.”
“Wait. Can't you do that. You're infintely stronger than me.”
“Not infintely. Not anymore I'm not now that you changed. Me and Crysero have to manage the space/time problem. The existance of us and the mana fragments are causing difficulties on this world. We are working to minimise this as much as possible. So that means we're out for the count on collecting them.”
“And that leaves...”
“Yes you. Humans are foolish greedy creatures. Do you think many would give the chance to become stronger over that easily? No. But you have powers greater than the mana fragments now. You don't need them. So you can collect them and supress their power without being destroyed in the process.”
“Is there any way...”
“No you can't get out of this. You owe us to much for that. Consider collecting the mana fragments as a way to even out the debt. You can do whatever you want afterwards.”
Shit. I can't escape.
“So what if I run?”
“I'll remove the seal and you'll go boom.”
Damnit I can't get out of this one........there goes my boring simple days...even though it kinda ended a while ago.
