Abe the Wizard

At the end of the daily meditation session, Abel took out the attribute sign and placed his hands on it. A flash of white light and a set of data appeared on the attribute card.

Power: 12.21

Speed: 2.50

Constitution: 5.05

Will: 12.02

Mana: 10.1

When Abel finished meditating by himself, he felt like his power of will had increased a little, but such a small incremental growth would not show on the attribute card. It probably suggested that the growth was less than 0.01. He was ready to double down on his meditation training for the next few days and take a look at the data again. Every time he finished a meditation session, his mana would only increase by 0.1. If he wanted to increase his mana to 120, it would take him a long time, even in Rogue encampment.

After meditation came “fireball” training. He wanted to empty his mana he had just gained and meditate to recover again. After a day of training, Abel opened his Horadric cube as his power will suddenly noticed a message on the fireball symbol on the skill tree.

“fireball”

Produces magical fire arrows

Mana cost: 2.5

Current skill level: 0

Fire damage: 2-5

Experiences until next level up: 2876/5000

Abel’s experience with the “Fireball” spell had already reached half of the required experiences in terms of the next ability increase. Due to his successful training with the spell, he was also able to cast it within split seconds. If it was for an ordinary wizard, they had to use the power of will to draw the pattern every time, which would cost them much more time as well as draining the power of the will.

But Abel’s mana was still too low. If he had 120 worth of mana, he would’ve been able to increase the number of fireballs he could strike out continuously. Since his low mana had affected severely for his mana regeneration, Abel observed that it would take up to 5 minutes to just recover a tiny bit of his mana.

After a few days of meditation practices, Abel has confirmed that in Rogue encampment, he needed to undertake three meditation sessions. This was about three days’ worth of practice until he could increase his will by 0.01 points. The rogue encampment was already a place that was filled with strong magical power. It was even a few times stronger than the magic towers. For an ordinary wizard meditating the magic towers, they wouldn’t be able to increase their power of the will by 1 point even after many years of training.

Wizards were known to possess terrifying spells and had a long life span. But now, Abel understood the response of “You win some, you lose some.” Although wizards had a much higher life expectancy than any ordinary people, they had to spend most of their life undertaking meditation practices in order to increase their magic strength.

Abel’s everyday routine was the same as the days passed quickly. During the day time, Abel trained at the magic towers. At night, he would return to his mansion on Triumph Boulevard to help Black Wind with its’”Mount enhancement.” When he was finished, he would enter Rogue encampment for meditation practices as well as practicing his “Fireball” spell.

Four months passed, Abel had just finished another ten days of meditation practice and his “Fireball” spell training in Rogue encampment. Now, Abel had made great progress in terms of both his body and the power of the will. Since time passes differently in Rogue encampment, every night when he entered Rogue encampment and came out the next day, Abel had actually completely ten whole days of training during that period of time.

Therefore during this period of four months, Abel had actually been practicing for more than three years.

Abel then took the attribute sign from the kong kong spirit portal bag and pressed his hand on it. With a flash of white light, a set of data emerged.

Power: 15.12

Speed: 2.50

Constitution: 6.05

Will: 16.01

Mana: 160/160

Upon reaching 100 points of mana, Abel found that his mana regeneration had also reached 1 mana regained per minute, which seems to have reached the limit of the wizard’s mana regeneration. Whether it was 120 mana or 150 mana, or now 160 mana, the mana regeneration was fixed at 1 mana per minute.

Abel now felt as if he was a human machine gun. The terrifying “fireball” spell had reached the point where it could continue to be shot out 10 times in a row. Finally, his spells had become destructive. At this moment, Abel imagined that if he was facing a group of Elite knights, as long as he was able to distance himself away from them, he would’ve been able to burn them all to death.

No wonder wizards in this world held such a high status. This matchless magical power was such a terrible tool for the wizards to suppress weapons made from all other occupations.

With the improvement of Abel’s mana, he also sped up his time of practicing the “fireball” spell. He raised to rank 1. A rank 1 to rank 2 “fireball” would require 5600 points of experience which took him 3 days worth of actual time. From rank 2 to a rank 3 “fireball” required 15360 experience points and it took him around 8 days. From a rank 3 to a rank 4 “fireball” required him 30150 experience points and took him more than half a month. From a rank 4 to a rank 5 “fireball” required 50120 experience points. From a rank 5 to a rank 6 “fireball” required 5480 experience points. From a rank 6 to a rank 7 “fireball” required 06410 experience points. Just like that, 4 months had passed. A rank 7 to rank 8 “fireball” required Abel 15309 0 experience points, and he had already completed a large half of it.

Using the Horadric cube, Abel’s power of the will focused onto the fireball symbol on the skill tree, and a message appeared:

Fireball

Produces magical fire arrows

Mana cost: 2.5

Current skill level: 7

Fire damage: 12-15

Experiences until next level up: 11314/143090

With Abel fully focused on his training, he realized he was able to cast his “Fireball” spell 1000 times per day. But he couldn’t exceed 1000 casts, as it would result in a headache and a whirl for him. Even more, meditation seemed to have no use, as there was some kind of restrictions that limited the number of spells to 1000 per day.

This was nothing particularly bad for Abel. Other than him, no other wizard was able to cast 1000 spells per day anyways. As casting these spells required using mana, they also required the power of will to draw these picture patterns. Every cast required the concentration of the power of will and the human body had a limit. Only someone like Abel was able to achieve casting 1000 spells per day since he was able to cast directly from his skill tree.

With Abel working as hard as a monk, he eventually increased to a rank 2 novice wizard. However, he was quite unsatisfied with the rate of increasing his rank. Even though in reality it was only four months, to him, it was already three years. It took three years for him to draw a rank 2 novice wizard pattern, and this was only the beginning of the wizard rank as he was still a novice wizard. He couldn’t imagine how long it would take for a formal wizard to increase rank. If he took 3 years to do this, wouldn’t they take at least 10 – 20 years just to get 1 rank up?

Through the portal, Abel returned to his mansion room on Triumph boulevard. He then went to the washroom to clean away 10 days worth of dust, changed into his white robe, and walked out towards the courtyard.

After four months, Abel had already reached has reached 1 meter 85 tall. But he almost did not grow at all at night. Every night day would go into Rogue encampment to train for 10 days. But when he came back out, due to the different speeds at which time moves in this world, his physical body would immediately return to how he was 10 days ago. If it was not because of this, Abel would already an adult by this point

“Woo!! A howl came from far and near. Suddenly, Black wind, who was already taller than Abel rushed towards him.

Black Wind’s force was so tremendous it had almost shaken Abel on to the ground. Immediately, Abel gave Black Wind’s big brain a gentle smack. This smack made Back Wind felt so comfortable that it closed its eyes with a pleasant look. This look made Abel laugh so hard he almost choked.

In the period of four months’ time, Black wind had undergone a change that was like night and day. It’s height now exceeding 2 meters and his entire body was filled with black hair. It had distinctive exploding muscles on its’ body, alongside with a little change in terms of its’ personality. Other than being a little naughty when it was with Abel, it had a sense of dominating king in front of everyone else.

“Master Abel! Marcy followed Black wind and bowed.

“Marcy, how’s Black wind’s training?” Abel had been busy with wizard training recently and had little time to communicate with Marcy. Due to his intense training, his mana was now balanced with his will. The spell training was also smooth, so now had more free time to ask Marcy how Black Wind was doing

“Black Wind has finished his initial training!” Marcy looked at Black wind with a special look on his face.” He continued, “Master Abel, with Black Wind’s attidute now, although he doesn’t live among the wolves, it is showing so many signs. I can tell that it is a King beast.”
