Chapter 2: Missions
I slept in the tree, after casting and dispelling different tools to cast them quicker. They all combined into a spell I'm calling Tool Box.
I sorted my quick cast slots, In this order: Dumbell, Dumbell Throw, Anvil, Air Step.
Tool Box doesn't need to be used there. Also, since my Mana filled up before I went to bed, I made a canon for Anvil and Dumbell Throw.
Condensed Metal Magic, which apparently needs to be fed 10 Mana points a day to not dissipate, Was Shaped in such a way, I can feed Air in from the handle, With a barrier to keep air from coming back out, I made it so the inside can hold onto the ball, and build pressure. On the other side, I created another one way wind barrier, just keeping air from the inside out, making a perfect vacuum.
Took me an hour to make the air barrier. It's a variation of air step.
It's basically a vacuum chamber that doesn't need electronics, and a pressure chamber on one side. It only works when I'm giving it mana, but It takes 5 points a fire. I basically fire it twice, and the ammo is a tank round the size of a baseball.
And it's handheld!
Having a bit of knowledge in science is crazy. And physics. I didn't even study physics, just picked some stuff up on the internet.
...
I feel like its overpowered. I'm only level one for god's sake, why do I have this.
[ Well, level 5 people are seen as Demi-Gods, and 10 a god. But it goes to 100. A level ten wouldn't even feel it. A level 5 might catch it like a baseball, without needing the mitt.]
Well, thanks. But I thought I didn't have anymore questions?
[You don't. That was general info.]
...
Well.
Okay.
I put it in the quick slot where the axe was, and leave the axe in the trees bark.
And I start jogging to the gate.
The guard greets me, and I nod to him, jogging up to my favorite breakfast stall. They have bacon covered pancakes.
I buy two, and I tip a copper, jogging off with them in a wood box. It's basically a to go box the vendors get for free. It's the size of a plate.
I continue jogging to the other side of this town, which is really just a mile squared.
Max was walking out of an Inn, and when he saw me, he started jogging too.
"Good morning Max. Have you gotten food yet?" I greet and ask.
"Morning. Not quite yet, with the food." He responds. I open the box and show him what's inside.
"You can have one when we get there." I tell him, and he nods.
"I guess we can practice with our magic while we wait, and potentially spar." He offers, and I nod.
After a bit of silence while we jog, I remember something.
"Hey, can I know your affinities if I tell you mine?" I ask.
"Sure. Fire, As you know, Healing, and my weakest is Water." He says, and looks at me.
"Air, Metal, and then Gravity."
"What's Gravity?"
"Well, you know how things fall? That and how heavy things are, in the basic terms."
"Huh. I'm guessing you're more knowledgeable about that."
"Yeah, probably more then most."
"Can I see a spell?"
"Well, I have two kinds, but one's more dangerous. I'll show you the weaker one."
"Dumbell Throw." I "toss" it to him.
"It's so light!" He exclaims.
"Now set it down, it's kinda dangerous if you don't." He 'Drops' it, jumping back.
It floats for a second, and then I activate it, and it cracks the ground.
"Try to pick it up."
"Okay..." He says, reluctantly.
"What the hell happened!" He shouts.
"I made it heavier."
"I can tell that!"
"Well, It's like that for twenty four minutes..."
"Huh. How much Mana did that take?"
"About half of mine."
"Geez. How much is the stronger version?"
"Same amount, just for six seconds. Four times the power."
"Huh."
We continue jogging after I dispell it.
It's nice showing off
...

[Well, sorry. I just realized my input was off. You remember how I was talking about level 5's and 10's? Well, the max is now 1000, and a level five is now 50.]
Well, the exp bar is fixed. I noticed it, but now it makes sense.
[No, I had it set to stages of a level. Not how you're used to.]
Ah. 10 stages?
[Yes. I will now start working on troubleshooting and adding features for you to unlock, so silence from me.]
...
I was getting used to you anyway.
Now. Max is practicing his spells, so I'll practice too.
"Dumbell · 4. Length." I cast. X is the number I cast, Length means time wise. Equal will balance between power and time. While Power, will do the amount of force for an hour.
-40 Mana
"Huh? What's that one?"
"My training. I'm adding weight. It'll last for four hours, and I'm basically adding a third of my weight. New regimen I came up with."
"Tool Box · 2, Short Sword."
-20 Mana.
"Dumbell. Dumbell." I cast on the swords.
"Did you just make it tougher?" Max asks.
"Yep. I need it to stay tough. Until I start to feel ease, It'll stay at this weight." I reply.
Look, It may be stupid. But in a fantasy world, nothing is gonna be easy. At one point, I'm just keeping Dumbell on.
+2 Con
+3 Str
+2 Agi
We train for the next 5 hours, and in the last two, I practice experimenting with spells. In the first 3, I practice fighting with my weapons, using a tree as a target. It takes a while, but I eventually started getting a bit better with the weight.
Not easier, though. Just better at moving it. Still really hellish trying to move, but I managed to try a jog.
I came up with a spell, too, After my mana regenerated. I create a hollow ball, and start filling it with air. It's about half an inch thick. I put a good amount of air in, and when the metal begins to feel a bit ready to pop, I stop filling it and carefully throw it. By making it weightless and running, and then releasing the gravity magic.
*Bang*
Yep, shrapnel grenade. Can't believe it actually worked. Spells are popping out the wazzoo.
+ Shrapnel
Well. I have enough spells for gravity for now. I guess I'll make the Air Basic Attack spells we all know and love.
I start making a small tornado, and bend it into the shape of a arrow, and send the wind flying out back into the spell.
-5 Mp.
I use the excess wind to push it forward, and make the tornado much faster. I add some spin the way the tornado is going, and send it into a tree.
-1 Mp.
It pierces through the tree, and dissipates after.
6 Mp. That's fine. Can't get through metal, from what I can tell. Well, That should be Air Bullets point. This is Airow. I have to make it that instead of Air Arrow.
+ Airow
I start compressing air into one spot, and use a ball Air Barrier to hold it in, while I keep compressing. I allow the Air Barrier to move, but not lose shape. I then push the "Bullet" as fast as I can, and order it to release on contact.
-15 Mp
It destroyed a tree. Ripped it to shreds. Air Bomb. No need for the bullet.
+Air Bomb.
It feels crazy that its only a low level spell.
Well, that's enough spells for now. Actually, I need to test if I can make metal thread.
I make these tiny little poles of metal, and start spinning them around each other, and I make it tight.
"Whatcha doin?" I hear Elizabeth's voice say.
"Making a metal thread. I only just recently was allowed to use Mana, and I'm still testing things. For instance, Making a bow. Maybe I'll give it to you, but it'll need mana once a day." I respond.
"Well, I can do that. It just needs to be plain mana, right?" She asks.
"I personally think any will do, but it might infuse the metal, depending on what you use." I reply.
"Well, then it should be fine. How much mana would it take?" She asks.
"I think 5 a day. It'll dissipate if you don't, but I can always make a new one until you get something better." I finish, and she nods, and walks off.
I hear a carriage, and walk over to the path.
"Is everyone here?" Hunter asks.
I look around. Yep, all here. So does he.
"Okay. So, we are guarding this carriage. Our payer is giving each of us a gold for this. Sacaroth, as you are joining this party with this as the first mission, you'll get half afterward, and the rest next mission." He says, facing me with the second half.
I nod. Our Payer steps out, and he's in his 50's. Well, He's either a merchant or just rich. Or a noble. Doesn't matter, 50 silver is enough.
"Also, we also managed to pick up another job, specifically because we are heading up to Jinu. We're goin to the capital once we get up there. Another Guard Mission, just 3 carriages."
Huh. Fine with me.
We start going. I decided to be on top, after making a plate on the roof, and making poles down to the frame.
"Hey Liz, you wanna come up here? It's a better view." I ask, and she nods.
I help her up, and we sit back to back.
"How long are you going to be with us, Sacaroth?" She asks
"Maybe a few months. Depends on what happens. I just need to enter a dungeon, and that's either alone or not." I reply.
"Is that so you can upgrade a element? Or just the loot?" She asks.
"Didn't know about the element thing. The loot, could be nice, I just want to fight monsters."
"Ah. What level are you? I'm level 15..." She says, trailing off.
[This continent uses your current status type. Luckily I updated it.]
Yeah, thanks.
[Just lie about your level. I'd say 13.]
"I'm level 13... I just need more experience, really. Oh, and I need to work on my spells a bit." I respond.
"Ah. Well, I'm gonna run ahead, make sure that everything is alright. See ya in a bit." She says, jumping off the carriage.
"Yep, see you in a bit." I say, before she runs off.
Well, I have an idea for a defense spell. It's a simple one.
I form a half inch layer of metal over my skin, leaving my joints uncovered. I make threaded metal on my joints, connecting the "cloth" to the main metal. I then form bigger plates on top of the premade layer, making it allow movement.
-20 MP
I then, make tornados as close to my armor as possible, two for each limb. You know, Forearm and bicep, thigh and shin area. I dunno what the parts are, just saying what comes to mind.
Each of these are outside the plates, but I make them go faster, and as tight as possible.
-15 MP
Well, I'll call this Tornado Armor. I don't remember the difference between Tornados and Hurricanes, so... Yeah. Just wind going in circles fast.
+ "Tornado" Armor
