I'm getting bored...
Life as a lower rank adventurer is really boring! I've been on 50+ missions on just killing goblins and other low level beasts. I achieved D-rank pretty fast but they won't allow me to go up to C-rank! I'm honestly thinking about quitting this job and coming back when I have more strength. It's been around 6 months and I only had ONE fun job.
About 2 months in, I was hired as a body guard for some random merchant. He was really nice and friendly but super afraid of most things! I don't think he belongs as a merchant. Anyway, I had to accompany him to Frostford, which is a town that basically lives in the snow.
It took about two days by carriage to get there and the trip was quite uneventful, but the trip wasn't the fun part at all! Although Frostford is really cold, it is super fun! And since the cold doesn't affect me, I had access to unlimited fun there!
There was all sorts of competitions for winter activities, like snow boarding and skiing. I took part in most of them since I had a week before we would go back, but the best part was the log cabin with some hot chocolate. It really brought back good times to my previous life.
However, on the way back wasn't as fun. I realized just how dark this world could be. We encountered a slave trafficker. Normally I wouldn't be so bothered by the fact of slavery. I mean it is in multiple fantasies and this is a new world. However, they enslave innocent people by force. They dared to enslave a neko in front of me!
As a true man of culture, neko's are my passion! And seeing one crying in front of me... Well let's just say that the trafficker is not alive anymore. I kinda was consumed by rage and gave him a painful death. I simply apported the slave collar to my hands and she was free! Even though I did so much for her, she ran away instantly... Ahh, it really pains me to this day.
Slavery must be pretty well hidden or pretty rare as I haven't really seen them around before. However, it is a possibility that I wasn't really looking for them.
I would be lying if I say that I don't want cute slaves. There are so many fantasy novels where the best girl just so happens to be a slave. I really want that to happen to me. However, the time isn't right. Maybe after I grow stronger that I can safely say that I will be able to live and protect them, I will buy one... or some...
Needless to say I was punished since I killed a "good guy." This is another reason why I can't stand being an adventurer at the lower levels. If I was A-rank, hell if I was even B-rank, I wouldn't have really gotten in trouble. But no, I am a lower level, which basically makes me there slave as if I don't do something they like I get punished for it!
I've been increasing my mana capacity for 2 hours every night before I sleep. The mana increase shot down to 5/min instead of the 14/min. The mana is not nearly as good here than in the mountain. Honestly I don't know why I didn't just teleport to the mountain each time to train, it kinda just slipped my mind.
Here are my current stats.

I had the system just put EX for the talent as seeing all the S's added on to the end was getting very annoying. Other than my mana training, I've been training my physical stats as well. The results are not that impressive due to the lack of higher gravity to train in. I've been trying to train gravity manipulation as a derivative of my spatial magic, it hasn't been very effective so far.
On the bright side, I've managed to fuse magics together to release even stronger effects. By fusing the elements along with light and darkness, I've achieved true origin magic. It is mostly silver in color with a rainbow shine, very pretty. The effects are very devastating too.
I've added a few extra skills to my grimoire.
Creation magic: Level 3 = 30%
+ 6m
Upgrade magic: Level 4 = 40%
+ 30m
Passive: Level 2
+ 14m
Bank: Level 6 = 6%
- Stored: 11.3m
+ 1.8m
Temporary Immortality: Level 3
+ 15m
Spatial Control: Level 1
+ 240k
Presence detection: Level 5
+ 96k
Negative Status Effect Immunity: Level MAX
Mana Generator: Level 2 = 2/sec
+ 3m
To increase grimoire page: 1.6m
You might be wondering why I am a class 4 magician other than a sage, and the reason for that is very simple: I was scammed! Pyro talked about how I could become a sage, but he never mentioned about any of the requirements to do so!
Only when I became class 4 did I ask about it.
[Host does not meet the requirements for becoming a sage.]
'Then what am I supposed to do?'
[Luckily host has already completed 2 of the harder requirements.
Host must:
- Have a talent of S rank or higher (Completed)
- Climb the limitless mountain from the very top and claim the inheritance (Completed)
- Create 4 new spells never before seen (Completed, to my disappointment. I was forced to count your stupid test magics that are not really magic.)
- Have a advanced understanding about magic theory
- Become a master in rune magic, arrays, magic enchanting, and magic crafting
- Have a mana capacity of 1 million]
Alas this means that I am gonna have to go back into school. The only thing that's keeping my hyped is the fact that we will be learning magic at said school.
Another thing that I forgot to mention, is that in order to class up, we have to go to the capital. Which isn't that big of a problem because that is where the most popular magic school is!
So goodbye Axel town! I won't miss you that much.
