Chapter 5 - 4: Mana, and Growing Up Again
Still looking at the floating screens in front of him, Kriantis decided to change his focus.
(So, how do I grow stronger? And how do I use magic? If Vireya was correct this world has magic...) He asked remembering the conversation with the Deity.
[Response: To grow stronger, training, combat, and meditation are the best methods. This relates to the second question, to use magic, one must first learn the most basic mana control, through the process known as mana linking, the first stage of mana manipulation.
[It only requires deep focus and mediation using the visualization of the idea of magic. Each person must start by focusing on their perspective on how magic works, according to the research of the Great Sage Gustav, as magic is primarily an imaginary art.] The system's voice reached his mind.
(That sounds like a lot, but I'll at least try before I come to such a conclusion...) Kriantis concluded as he prepared to start.
He was however interrupted.
"*Look at you, so adorable. You make me want to squeeze you until you blow up!*" His mother picked him up from the cradle to marvel at his adorable state, holding him tight, though not enough to harm him.
(Urgh... tight!..) His eyes looked at her pleading for mercy from this hug.
As he did, something he didn't expect happened the moment he focused on her.
