A Method All His Own

Adam asked the system to develop a method for him since none of the ones in his family library suited him. The most advanced method would only allow him to focus on holy and dark.

"Request received... Calculating... Time remaining: five years." the system said.

Adam was shocked at the amount of time it would take make the complete the full method. That would mean that he would have to wait until then to begin using magic.

"System, is there any way that the method can broken down in steps so I can at least begin to gather magic?" Adam asked.

"Calculating... Twelve hours for step one. This will allow the user to begin gathering magic energy and use basic spells. This is the only step that will be available for five years as the following steps are needed to refine the higher elements and use their spells. Would you like to continue?" the system said.

"Finish the first step then continue with the rest." Adam said.

Hours later, the system notified him that the first step had been completed and was transferring the data to the memory bank. All Adam had to do was access the information and begin using the method.

As soon as he used the method, his body began to feel hot. This was a sign that his body was trying to reach out to the world around him and connect with the elements. This lasted for roughly fifteen minutes before he heard a faint popping sound. Right after that, it was like the whole world changed. He could sense the magic in the air around him and that he could exert a small measure of force on it to collect it into his body.

It was a good thing that he had been place in his crib during all of this or his mother or the maids would have felt something was wrong with him and called a doctor.

Now that he had a way to gather magic energy, he began to reach out to the elements and pull their energy into his body to collect them. It only to five minutes before he felt that he could absorb no more energy. This could only mean that his body had reached the limit for the day and that it would take a good night's rest to allow his body to adjust.

It didn't take long for him to fall asleep as he was now dead tired and didn't wake up until the morning. To his surprise, there were a few people standing around him with worried expressions. His mother was looking at him with tears in her eyes as an older man was examining him.

It seemed that he had slept so hard that he didn't wake up when his mother came to feed him or the maids tried to change his diaper.

"Madam, I assure you that there isn't anything wrong with the boy. The most likely cause of his extended sleep has to do with his young body possessing the three high elemental energies. You can expect this to be a common occurrence from here on out. I would like to recommend that he be fed more during the day as his body will require vast amounts of nutrients to not slow his growth." the doctor said.

"Is there anything that we can do to help him get larger amounts of nutrients?" his mother asked.

"You could always feed him monster milk as it contains more nutrients and magic energy. This will lessen the load that the elemental energy around him cause." the doctor said before he bid his good byes and left.

"Head out to the market and aquire the best monster milk that you can find. Also purchase some sweetening herbs so that it will be easier for him to drink it." his mother said to the head butler as soon as the doctor left.

The head butler and two others headed out right away to gather what his mother asked for. Shortly after that, his father rushed into the room.

"Is he alright?" his father asked with a worried expression.

"Adam is fine. The doctor said that his body isn't getting enough nutrients due to the fact that he is attuned to high elemental energies. I have already sent out the butlers to gather what we need to provide what he needs." his mother said while holding him in a loving embrace.

"It's good that's all it was. I have requested a few days leave from the court so that I can be here just incase." his father said.

The butlers returned an hour later with the milk and herbs. They mixed the concoction and put it in a bottle so that he could easily drink from it. As soon as the milk entered his stomach, he could feel the energy contained in it begin to enter his body. Not wanting to waste such energy, he used his method to gather it to increase his training speed. The day passed peacefully after this and soon it was night time.

"Status." Adam said so that he could check on his development over the three weeks that he had been in this world.
