Chapter 1: Chapter 1: The Book of Magic

As he walked back home from school, José thought about the programming classes he had taken, as even though he liked the subjects, sometimes the logic failed him in certain cases.

José is a high school student specializing in programming. He is a man with black hair, brown eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches tall, and one could notice how his shirt tightened across his chest. And, like any good programmer, he wore glasses.

He was a boy with normal life goals, like having a beautiful girlfriend, a good job that pays a lot and requires little work, and enjoying things he hadn't done yet, like some kind of controlled extreme sport.

Yet inside him, there was a desire to do something crazy in his life as he had heard from others.

Thinking about this, he deviated slightly from his usual way home and took a path he did not know, until he lifted his head, which had been bowed, and realized where he was, and said:

"Damn it, I came down this completely disordered street."

Continuing to walk down the poorly made street by the corrupt and inefficient government, he noticed that in an old rotten tree next to a house that looked old and worn out, which obviously hadn't been used in years, there was a hole through which, thanks to the sunlight, he could see something strange inside.

'What could that be?' José thought.

Approaching at a normal pace, José managed to see what appeared to be a thick book with a purple cover, a gray stone, and strange symbols.

Reading the cover, it said "Complete Sealing Magic" by Alexander Urbina in an old Spanish that was still comprehensible.

Reacting to the name of the book, José said:

"What idiot left a fantasy book inside a tree older than my grandfather?"

Then, with the notebook in hand that he decided to take home to read, he walked through the horrible street until he returned to the relatively good area and arrived at his home.

As he opened the door, he said:

"I'm home, family!"

Hearing his familiar voice, his mom shouted from the kitchen: "Hello son, today I made meatballs, come and eat."

'Oh mom, the meatballs sound delicious'.

José thought happily, since meatballs and meat in its juice were his favorite meals, and after a hard day of school, it was a great reward.

Heading to his room, he passed through his house, and seeing the door, he immediately opened it, entering his room, or as his family would call it, his "Cave".

Upon entering his room, he immediately began to take off his school uniform and put on casual clothes for home, and stored his school things in their respective places.

After all that, he went to the kitchen where he ate one of his favorite meals with his mom, dad, and sister as a family.

Returning to his room, he played video games on his computer for 2 hours, and after finishing he saw that the book he had taken from the tree was still there since he hadn't moved it, and seeing it there, he became curious about the content of the book.

'Will it be like Percy Jackson or some similar novel?'

When he opened it, it said "Brief Introduction to Magic, Its Nature, and Everything Related to Magic Seals".

'It must be a book like those of DND, more Potter, or similar' he thought it was some kind of book used to explain concepts of the main books to expand explanations or concepts of the original universe.

As he read the book, he found it amusing as he really liked movies about magic like "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", "Harry Potter", "Doctor Strange", etc.

As he read the explanations and found them relatively logical and not a bunch of nonsense, José began to jokingly try the first method of awakening mana, since this is the energy source of spells, and without it, spells were like a microwave without electricity. useless.

'First, I must place my dominant hand on the cover of the book, and then I must say: "Magic is the key to everything", with which I must feel something flowing inside me.'

José thought a bit skeptically, but trying it wouldn't cost him money or time, so he did exactly what the book said.

When he did, a blue light turned on in the dull stone in the center of the book, and instantly José felt as if electricity was flowing through his bloodstream, as if something inside him was awakening which put all his hairs on end.

'What the hell, oh my God, this isn't possible damn it!'

The book shone for a few seconds until it turned even grayer than before, as if it had done its last job.

"God, how is it possible if in the thousands of years of humanity magic has always been just a story or something from anime and movies."

Amazed, José looked at the book that had broken his worldview of his entire life.

But feeling curious about what he had felt and done.

José tried to mobilize the mana he had awakened inside him, but it didn't work quite right; the mana was as if it was not part of him but something external.

"There must be some method to mobilize it in the book".

Upon opening the notebook and reaching the next page about awakening the mana, José found a method through words and physical actions that could mobilize the mana in a certain route.

As he started using it, the totally disobedient mana moved a little in the direction he wanted, and seeing this, José was happy and said:

"Hahaha, the method works, I will have to practice more."
