Chapter 6


    3 years ago


    Nighttime.


    As''s mother Elizabeth kissed her child goodnight and closed his bedroom door, with thest whisper.


    "Nighty night son"


    As, who was pretending to sleep, slowly opened his eyes to see his finally super clingy mom go away.


    "Finally some alone time. Wheres the book I hidden?"


    Remeging below his pillow with his tiny and small hands. He picked up a thick book.


    "Yes....Magic. Finally, I got my hands on you.....let''s see...."


    After an hour of reading, as closed the book withoutpletion.


    "God symbols. Mana. Elements.....fucking sweet!!!!. 1 year of waiting was worth it. Ohhhh.... this fantasy world didn''t disappoint me. Let''s start learning right away. I didn''t get any cheat except having a royal bloodline...ording to the book, me having a peak bloodline means I can channel enough mana to use 10 symbols.


    Hmmm.....let''s see. To channel mana, first I need to feel it.


    The book says it is hard at first, that''s why parents start to teach their child when they be five or six by circting their mana from their own body to their child. In time, channeling mana bes easy until it bes easy as breathing like for most adults.


    But I can''t wait another five years. I need to learn it now."


    As felt frustrated but didn''t let it over his head.


    "I will try my best, then see what happens. How can I know without trying? Let''s concentrate."


    As sat up on his bed in a lotus position. And started to concentrate.


    ''The air around this world is cool and refreshing, maybe because of the mana. They are like an extra boost to the body system. Ok breath In.....Breath out...Breath In.....Breath out...and repeat.''


    He continuously meditated for a full hour straight but didn''t flinch or stop. He just concentrated and kept up on and on again. After four hours While he was meditating, he felt a small tinge of calmness within his soul. He remembered this special feeling. It was the same feeling when he got transmigrated by a huge rainbow ray. It was a year ago but he could still remember it clearly.


    Instinctively he tried to expand that tinge feeling. As he tried he could feel his soul within his body, little by little. It was like finding out you had an organ from birth but could now see it, feel it and potentially embrace it. The feeling of peace and serenity started getting more familiar and easier to embrace.


    Within his mind, he was surrounded by rainbow colors all over. It was like heaven. At this rate, he could get easily addicted to this. But he didn''t stray from his goal. When he thought of mana. His body suddenly heated up. The mana within his body started to circte all over his body.


    As suddenly opened his eyes.


    " I did it!!!!!! "


    "Well, that took long. It''s 3 AM already. I still got time. Ok...The Next Step..."


    As had already remembered the symbols and tried to speak it but nothing came from his mouth. As got confused and read the book again.


    "Ohhh...I need toprehend it....that will take a lot of time."


    As opened the book and started reading about the symbols. He started reading getting amazed at every page not because of the surprise of the unknown but the exact opposite, because of the familiarity between the meaning behind the symbols.


    "I guess this is my cheat huh hahahahahaha....hahahahahaha...."


    He took a small crayon and started to right symbols, but he didn''t stop at 12 like others but he kept going and going with extra symbols which looked rearranged versions of the original 12. His writing finally stopped at 49 symbols.


    "This is just a theory but, these symbols aren''t what everyone thinks they are, which everyone calls God symbols. They are structural representations of an element, Like atomic structures and they don''t just represent elements. Some also represent force, friction, maism.... Wow!!...this is a whole new discovery. If I spread out this knowledge, the world will boom in a new era. Nahh...they are way behind literacy. They will think I am a mad man and try to burn me on a stick. As people are always scared of the unknown.


    What I am defying right now are their culture, history, and beliefs. If I stand between them, I will not live long enough and this second chance I won''t waste it on petty development for the greater good."


    ''I guess, from the beginning, my cheat was my past memories. NO op spells. No system. No immortality and stuff. But this, my knowledge and my brain. Let''s use it wisely from now on.''


    Back to the present...


    Reminiscing his past a little, when he made the discovery of the century. As felt a little proud.


    "Three years of continuous research and experiments.... It took a long way to get here."


    He kept watching the floating symbols created through light magic. He did discover many symbols but he still doesn''t know how to use them efficiently. With the help of modern science from his past life and his active mind, it was indeed easy to discover those symbols even though it took 3 years. But using all the symbols withpleteprehension was impossible for now. He could create light, lightning, ether, and even gravity from all the right symbols ced together but it would be too minuscule in power, like the light, which he couldn''t make more than a lite spark and some normal characters.


    It wouldn''t be worth a fart. What he needed was time. He doesn''t know how much but from the looks of theing war and Humanitiesing crisis. Strength is all he could count on, He had a family, responsibility, people that he cared about.


    "Let''s stop dilly-dallying and get back to work."


    The working of magic is like coding, there are elemental symbols and there aremand symbols. Eg: From the 12 symbols there are 2mand symbols, the force symbol, and thene symbol,monly known to everyone. Force symbol used for pushing or pulling the element and thene symbol, used for controlling the direction of the element.


    It was a simplified version of coding, where input and processor were our body and better the bloodline and brainpower better the processes which could withstand high-levelmands without a system shut down( means dying ).


    So the Goal of As was to figure out a way to somehow have the capacity to withstand the input and process of the 200 or so Symbols. Every night it was his goal. He could research some more symbols, but ording to his knowledge, he was in the end game. If he wants he has to dedicate his whole life over to that, which is impossible for him right now.


    "It would have been easy if I had a system, wouldn''t it?.....Wait!!!! Of course, I could make my own system to share my load of the processing. I could copy my brain and save it in a space symbol to connect it to an interface. My only job will be to inputmand and mana and w....Done!!!.


    It wouldn''t be possible in my world but it would be possible here with magic. I just need to construct an advanced version of my copy symbol. From my estimate, it will take 6 months or more to totally copy a brain.


    I may have made it sound easy but theirs a lot to be done in the middle....aaaahhh....too much work. Shouldn''t this life should be chill and rxing like the other isekai mc novels. I guess the reality is often disappointing."


    The morning sun was already shining from his window. Already at his eyes.


    "Oh shit, it''s already morning. Let''s stop for today."


    As was feeling wicked sleepy and tired, but he wasn''t worried he would get tired and affect his day, cause he had a neat trick on him, he uses it every morning, tired or not.


    As unconsciously closed his eyes and instinctively rotated his mana like always. After half an hour Anny would be here. So he quickly let out the peach aura from within his soul. Ya, he named the rainbow color peaceful energy, peach aura.


    It was like his morning coffee. All the tiredness and exhaustion went puff, gone.


    Fifteen minutester...


    As took in a heavy breath of fresh air and puffed it out.


    "New day, New me. Peace and Serenity. " As said with a smile.


    But that peace was soon interrupted.


    Bang!!!


    The door mmed open.


    "Son!!! Your mother and I are having another child."


    ''WTF!!!!!!!
