    "I don''t have time to train anything, so I only need a single ss that can bend space… wait a minute; my inventory bends space," Aion thought. "It also ignores the flow of time… how does it do that?"


    By harnessing powerful magic and tapping into the fundamental forces of the universe, such an inventory is capable of transcending the limitations of conventional storage systems.


    ·?θm The ability to bend space and time means that the inventory can defy the constraints of physical dimensions and linear chronology. It allows objects to be stored and retrieved in non-linear ways, surpassing the boundaries of conventional spatial and temporal restrictions.


    In practical terms, this means that the magic inventory can expand or contract its storage capacity, amodating a vast array of items regardless of their size or quantity. It canpress objects within its confines, upying a smaller physical space than what would normally be required. Simrly, it can expand to amodaterger items or even entire structures.


    "Malon created this system after he left this; he faced some enemies that could control space and then learned a lot from it," Aion rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "In that case…"


    Aion began to think of some spells that he could use without help from the sses, and then he created a clear image of how it would work before putting it into practice.

    Mana Sword: You can summon a magic sword and fire at the world, causing damage equal to the mana spent and the level of the skill.


    Mana Armor: when suffering damage, your mana takes the damage for you. The total amount of damage taken per hit will be equal to the level of the skill multiplied by ten.


    "This confirms the theory. Now I just need to think and adapt the basics of space magic for my needs," Aion thought.


    That was easier said than done, Aion could use inventory, but he didn''t have the slightest idea of how it worked. He decided to take a nap to clear his mind and then try againter, but it didn''t work.


    When night came, the group headed toward the east side of the country. Many monsters got in their way, but Aion got rid of them and also disposed of the corpses using his inventory while he was thinking about it. Since he wasn''t hiding his skills anymore, everyone around him looked speechless; even Henri was shocked, even though he knew that his little brother was full of secrets and talent. Still, just before they were about to find Philip, Aion had a surge of inspiration.


    Space magic allows individuals to manipte the fabric of space itself. So, by harnessing mana, mages canpress and alter the properties of the surrounding space. Then whenpressing a space, Aion should focus his energy on a specific area, causing it to shrink and condense. He maniptes the density and arrangement of mana particles within that space, making it smaller or affecting it in other ways, like hiding it from sight or changing its properties.


    To hide thepressed space from sight, Aion should use his mastery of magic to manipte the mana particles in a way that affects how others perceive them. He should create a barrier that shields thepressed space, bending light and energy to make it appear invisible or nonexistent to outside observers.


    Now, when ites to hiding thepressed space within Aion''s mind, it adds an extrayer ofplexity. Aion''s mind acts as a separate realm within his consciousness, like a secret space that exists alongside the physical world. The mage establishes a connection between thepressed space and Aion''s mind, effectively concealing it within this mental realm.


    The logic behind that spell seemed sound, but Aion still had to do something about the other spells in the ss. He wanted to test the theory right now, but without other skills for the ss, the spell wouldn''t be as stable as it could be.


    "I also need to study how the ss system works and make things so stable; if I learn how that works, maybe I can improve it," Aion thought. "Malon probably had thousands of years to improve it, but even so… he wasn''t a man from Earth; he probably saw countless more advanced civilizations, though."


    Little by little, Aion managed to think of skills for the next ss, but he was forced to stop when they reached the next area of the country. Philip and the other members of the resistance were supposed to be hidden underground in a town ahead that was supposed to be empty as well. Still, the ce was now crowded with some red ones.


    Red giant ones are imposing and fearsome creatures that possess a distinctive and menacing appearance. Towering in size, they stand at an impressive height of around 10 meters, making them an intimidating presence on the battlefield.


    These ones have robust and muscr physiques, with bulging veins and sinewy muscles that ripple beneath their crimson skin. Their bodies are covered in a coarse and rough-textured hide, giving them a rugged and formidable appearance. The skin of red giant ones is typically a deep, rich shade of red, reminiscent of smoldering embers or glowing coals.


    Their facial features are rugged and fierce, with sharp, angr lines and pronounced bone structures. These ones haverge, piercing eyes that glimmer with an intense and fiery glow, adding to their menacing presence. Their mouths are lined with rows of sharp, jagged teeth, capable of tearing through flesh and bone with ease.


    "... It seems that the monsters or someone controlling that group are aware that Philip and the others are there," Henri said while looking around.
