Chapter 33 True Self?
(From MC Perspective)
I got a good understanding about the system. The System said it will help me to achieve Peak Existence. And its work is very simple. It can raise talent level, for that all I have to do is to make sure to reach that condition. By consuming rare and precious treasure or something related to that.
Other than that the system doesn't have any failure rate while having breakthroughs. That's why it mentioned it can level up the limit. Then the third main ability is also omnipotent. I can use 'n' number of spells without having limitations.
After having some clarity I glanced at another section. My basic stats have increased. The limit cap for Mage at each level is 100. Even if I reach 100 stats in my strength in level 1 Mage. Unless, I met with a condition for breakthrough. It's impossible to level-up just because my stats reached 100.
It is sad though my physique stats are the same working as normal mage. But I'm glad that at least my mana power is heaven defying. Slowly in the future, without moving my muscles. I can erase an army of mages. A hint of expectation flashes in front of my eyes. Without realizing myself I'm slowly changing. "I'm craving for power and dominance." I spoke to myself.
For a moment I seriously reflected on my thoughts. This is my true self or what. Before waking up to my power, I'm always a law-abiding citizen. Doesn't want to break any rules. Always wanted to be cooked up in my room. I hate meeting any friends or strangers To be frank I don't have any friends so to speak. In previous Class B6 they were all just my classmates. Once you step out of the school gate everyone becomes strangers.
So I always like to be loner and spend my most free time binge watching dramas and movies. Envy others' success and self pitying myself due to failure. One good thing is that I have good parents and a capable brother. Even if I turn out to be a failure, it won't cause any change.
So my true dormant self has always been in silence. Waiting for an opportunity to break out. There was no true Vincent Carey. Even before my parents I acted unruly but in the end. I always listened to them. At that time I was scared that my parents and my elder brother would throw me into human society, far away from the mage population.
When I started to confront my true self, small sweat beads began to drip on my forehead. "I was always wearing a mask. Even in front of my own family. I'm just living like a pathetic person, with no goal whatsoever." I smiled wryly thinking that. But not any more, only strength speaks in this world. I can do whatever I want if I have strength.
I don't want to chain my inner self anymore. After gaining clarity on my own thoughts, I shut my eyes. A few minutes later, I opened my eyes. I felt something broken inside, a fake mirror. At that my aura has completely changed from docile and na?ve being to sharp and steady. Smiling face turned into a cold gaze with indifferent expression.
"Power and Dominance, This will be my sole goal here after. No need to fake it anymore" I spoke to myself.
After getting understanding of the mental method, I turned my attention towards the gravity spell. I got only 15 minutes left here. Having that in my mind, I decide to first go through the spell. I stood up from the ground.
"Gravity Field"
Like a mental method, small grey threads begin to imprint something in mind. I knew its rune of gravity field spell. " To think spells also need rune-like function" My lips rose in curiosity seeing that.
A few seconds later, a small rune formed in my mind. It is way too small compared to my gravity method. Unlike the gravity method, it doesn't have to be in a running attack. It has only the function of the gravity field around me.
After understanding the spell, I begin to try out.

"Gravity Field" I said.
In this moment, the small rune in the mind shines brightly like a star. My mana capacity begins to decrease rapidly.

"whizzzzz!"
A Grey Color field appears around me. If one looks at me from a distance they will find me inside of a grey ball. Which is my gravity field, it envelops the space of 10 meters completely. But in the next few seconds the gravity field begins to crumble and disappears completely a few seconds later.
I didn't get disappointed, rather I got excited and smiled. "Sure, To maintain the gravity field without crumbling you need to have good control." I said to myself.
What's amazing is that I felt light as a feather inside my field. Looks like once I trap my enemy inside the field, I can move around swiftly and end him. There is no need to solely focus on maintaining gravity to kill your enemy. My eyes flashes with various abacuses to kill the enemy inside my field. "Life will be interesting hereafter" I smirk.
Then I looked around me and shook my head. There is no testing piece here to test my gravity. 500kgs of pressure can be exerted on anything. I don't know how much force will be increased in level 2 spells. I heard there are young mages who started learning magic from their parents without even going to the school.
It must be the kids of those advanced mages. I haven't heard anyone awakening their magic before the age of 16. Maybe my knowledge is not enough, I'm entirely making decisions based on the history of our province and state. Looks like I need to study as well and gain more knowledge about our mage world. I don't know whether my brother has any knowledge about it. I should ask him, once I get back home. Shaking my head, I begin to focus on my next spell.
