Kane was standing on a partially transparent platform.
Kane couldn't tell what had happened to him, but the feeling was familiar as he experienced it once before. The feeling of being dragged by someone suddenly with huge force, and drove him to this world.
" Where am I again? Am I being teleport to a new world again? Hello guy who I don't ever meet you before, please be nice to me next time if you want to make me somewhere else, because the feeling is unpleasant as I am being forced. "
Not like before, Kane currently possessed far stronger soul than before after recovering from the great mind injury and learning the soul training technique. His five senses were highly improved, he could tell that a great force immobilized his whole body, not even a single finger could be moved. And he was being pulled into a tunnel and came to this platform, this happened in just less than a second. The previous him was just trance in mind and being teleported without noticing anything.
Kane made a long sigh with warm air coming out from his mouth. He found himself ridiculous to talk to nobody. " I did best take a look around to find out my current whereabouts. "
Several bookshelves fell into his vision, which were arranged in parallel. Those bookshelves were fabricated by greenish brown wood with closed-grained and seemed ancient as well.
Kane walked near to bookshelves, took a closer look at the material used. He knew nothing about the wood, its type from its appearance, its age from its wood grains and their worth. Yet, he had a strong feeling of these bookshelves would probably be worth and make him a great amount of money if he could take it out and sold them.
" What a waste of these beautiful bookshelves if there are no books put on them. " Kane swept his eyes across every row of the bookshelf near to him, the other side of it had no books as well.
Upon walking to the second bookshelf, he looked down on his bottom, the platform.
" What are there? "
The figure could be seen as the platform was partially transparent, it had raised his curiosity to wonder what was the scene beneath his feet. It showed a blur and abstract image to him, he could tell exactly what was it. It was just a mess… the more appropriate word was chaos.
It seemed bottomless as if someone fell into it and never had a chance to get out from there. The chaos was dark, occasionally some white color light would blink within it. The whole picture was just like a deep dark sky which was full of blinking stars.
An idea flashed across his head, " It just like the universe I saw in a picture, no light, full of endless darkness and an astonishing number of stars traveling on their specific orbits. "
When he stepped his feet on the platform, it produced circular waves as if a stone being thrown into a river. He found it interesting, rose his right foot and slightly rapped the platform twice, causing two waves around his foot. He then stomped on the floor, a great wave was produced until it reached every corner of the platform.
" This is funny. I felt like I am walking on the water. "
After enough of playing with the waves produced by floor, he turned his vision to the second bookshelf. Unfortunately, there were no books on the bookshelf as well. He started to wonder the reason for the bookshelves being put here and serve no purpose as he could find any book on them.
Kane revealed a sigh of disappointment and started to observe his surrounding environment. The top part of this realm is extremely different from the bottom. There was white light radiated in this realm, making this realm bright. It gave him the feeling of comfortable by looking the white color as if he was in the midst of holy light. The top seemed holy as the upper part was filling with white light, while the bottom seemed creepy and wondering with full of darkness.
" What is this place. It seemed this placed is made of two parts, one is light and the other was darkness. I am just like in the middle of the holy land and dark bottom. "
Kane muttered to himself. The scenario of the realm surprised him, his curiosity was rose up, he was even had willing to jump to the darkness to find out what was inside it, but it was just an idea and he didn't take action to accomplish it.
A figure fell into his eyes during he took a look in all directions, a book floated in the middle of the realm.
" The book! It is there far from my current location. " The book was far away from the platform he was standing. Actually, the book was just normal size such as the thickness of a normal dictionary. While Kane was able to see the book which was about one hundred feet away from him.
" I would like to take a close look on it. " Without thinking too much, he turned his body toward the direction of the book and walked to it.
One step.
Two steps.
…
Five steps.
Six steps.
Ouch!
His nose was bumped against a hard matter. He felt pain on his bloody red nose, closing his eyes and putting his hand on it. " What the hell is in front of me, I cannot see anything blocking my way. "
Before he bumped against with hard matter, some light blue color flashed across his eyes. When he reopened his eyes, he found nothing was in front of him.
This time, he slowly moved forward and raised his hand to the front as a shield to protect him. He couldn't move forward anymore as his hand was blocked by a hard matter. He pressed on it, blue light flashed dimly.
" It is a barrier. I was hurt by it just now. " Not like what he expected before, he thought he could freely move in this realm but he was just restricted by the magic barriers and allow him to activity in certain.
" I wonder how large the platform I am standing at. Maybe I need to walked around and estimate how huge is it? " Kane kept pressing his hand on the barrier and walked around the platform.
It was a rectangle platform with four round corner, roughly 160 feet long and 70 feet width. " This place is quite huge compared to my home in the village. "
Later, he turned his vision back to the book. It seemed like he was unable to get there and took a close look at the book. He helplessly shook his head and sighed, giving up to his plan before. " It seems like I have no way to get there as long as the barrier blocks my way. It is better for me to give up now, and tried it next time. "
He moved his concentration back to those bookshelves with the sincere hope that the third bookshelf won't disappoint him.
He once took a look on both sides of the bookshelf, nothing was found again. Continuing his way to other bookshelves, he finally found on the fifth one.
" After long searching, I finally find one book. " Bitter smile was shown on his smile, he eventually found one book. Then, he took it out from the bookshelf and inspected the book.
" Basic magic: Fire Ball " The title on the book.
After just reading the title, he was in high spirit, excitement slowly overwhelmed his heart. He muttered with a slight smile, " It is exactly what I want. I am so excited that I eventually start to learn magic, thus I must read this book in detail. "
He opened the book and read it.
" Fire Ball is the most basic magic in the world. If you want to recognize yourself as a magus, you need to have the soul power of Rank 1 Beginning and learn this magic. After you acquired these two requirements, then you can call yourself a magus. Thus, young cultivator, please tried your best to learn this magic if you have a dream to become a magus in the future."
The preface of the book showed him some basic information about this magic. From the book, he understood that this magic was the most basic one to learn and like an entry for a person to enter the cultivating path of magus.
Kane continued his reading.
Fire Ball magic, you could just understand what is its type and the scene of casting this magic by its name. The fire was one of the most fundamental elements to make up this world, while the ball means that the learner made the fire in a ball shape and cast it out to attack.
After a quite long time reading, Kane had a brief understanding of this magic. What he needed the most was practical experiences, as he could understand it all by just reading.
At first, he needed to imagine the heat and hot feeling in his brain. Later, directed spiritual energy to his palm, allowing the energy slightly flow out from the center of palm and accumulating until it formed a ball shape. Finally, broke the energy supply to the fire ball formed and let it out of hand. This was a basic concept of using fire ball.
" Now, I did best to give it a try as I roughly understand the concept of this magic. This probably made me fulfilled if I am able to cast my first magic… err… No, my first magic by my own strength. "
He had used magic in the forest before. That time, he was helped by a mysterious force and was able to cast out the Flame Burst magic. So, this meant that he had yet to know how to cast single magic, he really hoped he could cast the magic by his own hands.
" Let get out of here and practice the magic of fireball. " Kane's eyes lit, he hoped that he could try it as soon as possible. At first, he needed to find an ideal place for his training ground.
" But, how do I get outta here? " As he was drawn into this realm without he acknowledge, hence he didn't the way to get out from this realm. " Will I trap here forever? "
Kane felt helpless as he completely had no idea on what he supposed to do. He frowned his bow and close his eyes, trying hard to think out something.
" I believed that I was drawn by the book to this realm. In return, if I want to leave, I have to connect with the book. " Looking at the book, he tried to connect the book.
He sensed that he was connected with the book and silently spoke in his heart, " Let me get out of here. "
The scenario changed, his vision became blank. Just an instance, he appeared at his house.
