Yin Zidian

Is Magic really just a wish machine?
No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics.
This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic.
But what of it?
Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature.
Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician.
But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws.
The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason!
The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together.
Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic.
The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

Seeing that there weren't many foot soldiers, some fleeing Terdun Cavalrymen circled back. They didn't dare engage in close combat, so they shot arrows from a distance.


The sound of galloping hooves came thundering from the east of the fork in the road, this time louder than the previous two combined.


Tulin couldn't recognize the second group of cavalry, but there was no mistaking the third—the one leading the charge was a horse with a red mane.


"It's Rejek!" Tulin pushed back the Herd Barbarian beside him, raised his saber high, and roared furiously, "It's Anglu! Kill! Kill! Kill!"


The battle had already been difficult for both sides to resolve, but as soon as Anglu's fresh troops joined the fight, the hundred-strong Terdun Cavalry immediately collapsed.


Anglu and Tulin chased and killed all the way until dusk before returning to where their convoy had been ambushed.


Even though the Terdun Cavalry had been defeated, there was still a mess to sort out.
