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...

"The goal might have been achieved," Winters said pensively, his feelings resembling those of a chess player who's been led step by step to a winning game, "but I... I always feel like I've lost."


Anna, playing with Winters' hair, burst out laughing, "Is it that competitive male pride again? Like a puppy scrambling for a bone, not satisfied with just its own, needing to snatch the other's to be happy."


Winters wanted to retort but couldn't think of a way, so he sulkily defended himself, "I didn't let the White Lion steal my bone! And I'm not upset about the bone."


"There, there, I believe that no one could beat you when it comes to snatching bones," Anna continued, rinsing his hair, "And I believe that even though you think you've lost now, one day you'll surpass him. So...what are you unhappy about?"


Winters' mood plummeted again and he muttered, "Nothing."
