My Journey Begins

I woke up to find myself in a dark cave illuminated by the moon light. It's kind of weird controlling a different body. I expected myself to be in a cavern or inn, but it seems like I was put in the wilderness to fend for myself.

[Support System Initiating!]

I get a system? That old god never said anything about this. Well while it is busy loading lets look around.

I find myself laying on a stone slab with some weird runes on it. I get a strange feeling. This seems like it would be some sort of sacrificial alter. I also find a pool of water, yet it sparkles under the moonlight and it gives off some sort of energy vibe? Maybe this is a mana pool and I got lucky. Well I will have to wait until the system is done booting up to find out.

Let's take this last time to check out my cool grimoire. It looks very elegant with gold trimmings on the outside that has runes engraved on it. It is primarily made out of white leather I believe. It just feels like it would be an overpowered grimoire if it wasn't for one thing. It is very slim! After all it only has 4 pages. From what I know, grimoires would be based off the number or pages and power contained in them.

Over all I would probably say people will laugh at me. Even if this new grimoire would have an extreme power in it, there is only 4 pages. Well I will just have to prove them wrong later on.

[Hello host! Welcome to this world!]

'Umm. Hey? Can you here me?'

[Yes host. You can speak out loud or in your mind to communicate to me.]

That makes things a lot easier on me. It would be weird talking out loud to someone people can't hear.

'System, so what can you do exactly?'

[I am only a support system to help guide you. I can not give you any abilities outside of the system itself, so as you grow stronger you can unlock functions such as a mini-map. Right now you can only access an unlimited inventory and a status screen. Normally you wouldn't get a status screen but as you have God's eyes, you can see the status of others and yourself.]

'Oh sweet! Show me my status.'

[Normally the max talent for magic would be S rank, but as you have a passive skill that raises your talent you were put as in S+. If you increase the level of said passive skill, then you may reach talents never before seen.]

'So a S+ talent was seen before?'

[Correct host, the last S+ talent was thousands of years ago, given to the legendary sage. You will be able to obtain this class if you request a class change once you have reached the 4th class of magician.]

'Talking about classes, what are they exactly?'

[Classes are given to people during their 4th birthday. They determine peoples fighting style. The most common classes are: Warrior, Swordsman, and other weapon types. Magicians are rare, and special types of magicians are even rarer. Knights are uncommon as you have to go through a test at a capital in one of the continents. Overall there are many different classes. Each class has a range of 1st to 4th, 4th being the strongest. You can upgrade your class once you've reached the peak of the 4th class.]

'I see, you didn't really give me a lot of information to go off on. What are the average stats of a 1st class magician?'

[Their strength is usually in the 20's, Agility in the 20's, Mana capacity is around 1000, and there control is D rank. All of your stats are in the 2nd class range, except for your control. Once you get a high control all you need to do is practice magic more and learn more skills. There are skills that magicians can do without their grimoire.]

'Is that so. Well onto my next question. Is there anyway to put away this grimoire or do I have to carry it around all the time.'

[Oh sorry host. Would you like to bind the grimoire to your soul?]

'Yes please, then I don't have to worry about a person stealing it.'

[The grimoire has been bound. The think about putting it away or taking it out to store it.]

Putting the grimoire away. I take a peak outside the cave. It's very pretty. It seems like I'm in a cave on some sort of mountain. Below I can see a forest and in the distance I can see a town, at least I know where the nearest village is.

I walk back to the pool which I assumed to be mana and got a confirmation from the system. Then I simply meditated inside of the pool trying to swirl around the mana inside of me and absorb the mana outside of me. I did this until morning.

Seeing that it is morning I take out my grimoire and absorb all the mana into the bank. I was able to get an outstanding 50000 mana from that, which isn't really that much in the long run. Fiddling around with my grimoire it seems that I can upgrade the creation magic for 100k mana to use less mana per creation. 50k mana to upgrade my upgrade ability, which will let me upgrade things for a cheaper cost. The bank only need 5k for the first upgrade which will increase the income to 2%. And the passive need an astounding 200k for the first upgrade. It doesn't even tell me what I will get from doing so. I guess passive abilities are really good huh.

I upgraded the upgrade ability to decrease the cost by 10%. It will be worth it in the long run probably. I then upgraded my bank, leaving me a measly 500 mana left. Probably not my best idea as I was about to set off through the forest, which who knows what's in there.

Packing up my nonexistent things, I take my first steps of my journey.
