Chapter 170: Soul Burning
[Technically, your soul could be used instead of mana. Sure it would hurt like hell and sure it would probably debilitate you beyond saving, but it would work. You probably don't know this, but way back in the past, the people who could see mana were pitied by the people. A sad bunch of madmen, who would continuously talk about some colorful blue stuff. After all, no one in the World knew what magic even was, so there really wasn't a big difference between mages and non-mages. All those stories from your home planet Earth, which usually depict ancient wizards and witches being much stronger than their modern counterparts... Well, logically thinking, it just isn't plausible, as shown by the example here on Alvox.]
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
NakedApron
NakedApron I'm starting to feel for Four, who decided to write a book, instead of trying to explain everything with words.

Also, I haven't begged ya'll for Powerstones for a long time, but our ranking's going up pretty steadily. Obviously, it's a bit far from 200, where we'll show up on the leaderboards, but we've reached rank 330 compared to January 1, when we were about Rank 390.
Thanks a lot for the constant support! You don't know how encouraging it is to refresh my notification tab and see that a bunch of you had voted your powerstones for me!
Shout out to Skull_. DragonexKing, Daoist048876 for being the top 3 voters. Though, there seem to be a few people who are catching up pretty quickly.
Oh, and the last time I mentioned my top three voters, I mistakenly listed the top three people who gave me gifts. I realized this like yesterday, before sleeping. I'm just an idiot, please don't worry about me. And thank you to CaribbeanSea, Jake_Briese_6828, Nathan_Bannister and everyone else for your generous gifts.
