Hello World, is a place or realm that was formed from what Ashen thought.
At that time, he tried to create a magnificent palace and it seemed that so much natural energy surrounded the palace.
He walked to enter the palace with a technique that looked like a technique of walking on air.
Ashen looked like he was walking on air, and it looked like he was walking up a higher flight of stairs.
And then…
"Woosh!"
The gust of wind seemed to be directing Ashen towards the top of the palace.
He continued walking, until he finally managed to reach the top of the palace.
Ashen also tried to create a very magnificent chair, covered in gold and silver, it looked like the chair of a king from the owner of the palace.
He started looking at the chair and tried to sit on it.
According to Ashen, he seemed to be playing the role of king in this palace.
However, he felt there was something missing.
However, when Ashen was trying to figure out what he was lacking he thought.
Suddenly…
There was a sound of repeated knocking, the knocking sounded like knocking on a door.
Ashen was starting to get a little disturbed.
Soon after, it made Ashen's concentration waver, then he came back to his senses in the real world.
It turned out that the knocking sound came from behind his bedroom door.
Ashen's mother, Silvana, was the one who was knocking on the door at that time to ask Ashen to wake up immediately.
Because right now, it should be Ashen's departure time to the academy.
However, because Ashen was difficult to summon, Silvana knocked loudly on his door to wake him up and said,
"Son... let's get up!"
"Don't you remember... what day it is today?"
Suddenly Ashen began to remember that today was the day he left for the academy for the first time.
Since Ashen is already around ten years old, he has to enter the academy.
His parents' goal in having Ashen enter the academy at a young age was to fear that their son would be left behind by the children of other noble families.
"Ugh, that's true…."
"I almost forgot."
That's what Ashen said, seemingly forgetting the day of his own departure.
The academy that Ashen will enter is 'Magnoria Grand Academy', is an academy that is quite famous among the lower and middle nobility.
However, the academy for Ashen was just a formality to keep his parents happy.
After Ashen prepared all the items that would be brought to the academy dormitory.
He immediately said goodbye to his parents and also celebrated his departure from Ashen, arriving at the front gate of the Duskreign region.
After that…
"Huh… finally I can be free from my parents supervision." Said Ashen who looked relieved because he could be free from his parents who were always worried about him.
Journey to Magnoria Grand Academy has begun, and it will take about three days.
During those three days, Ashen continued to enter his mental realm.
He continues to create something new within his realm.
Then, when he was in that realm, he seemed to see something inside his palace.
It was in a pretty unique room, because inside it was like a room filled with books.
Ashen thought that the room was a library in his palace.
And the closer he got, the clearer it became what books were inside.
It turns out that in the book there are many theories of magic and also theories of the use of swordsmanship.
Ashen looked surprised, being able to see the theory books.
"This is so weird…!"
"Why is it a little strange inside my mental realm?!"
"It's like... I can move freely in it."
"And even read these books freely too?!"
"It's just like in the real world.. haha…"
That's what Ashen thought, he was actually very happy, and could freely do anything in that realm.
During his three-day journey, he continued to read the theory books in his realm's library.
And because this book relies on pure energy from nature, it is very easy for Ashen who can absorb natural energy quickly.
Because this realm is filled with natural energy, therefore, it is quite easy for Ashen to absorb it.
Of the many theories he read, there was one theory that interested him to study.
Then, at that time Ashen also became more interested and said,
"Huh… this magic theory is quite unique."
"I'm getting more and more curious to learn about it."
The theory is a magic 'Mental Illusion–Cognition Magic', which is written in the magic theory book 'Cognitive Illusion Theory'.
In the book it is explained that this magic theory is related to illusion magic in general.
However, this magic is even deeper in its use of magic, and may even be able to damage the mental state of its target.
Magic that can visualize information directly into the target's mind, and the target will appear to see the information in their vision.
In the book it also explains that the target of this magic must not have a mana core or aura core.
Ashen then continued to try to read and study the theory during his journey to the academy.
And in the theory book, an important word was written.
'Mindscape'.
The book explains that every living creature has a Mindscape, which is an inner space related to understanding, memory and the emotions within it.
"Huh, so for the illusion to work, it needs to reach the mindscape of each living being itself."
That's what Ashen thought about the sentence.
Then, he tried to use this magical ability.
Ashen woke up from his concentration and returned to his real world.
He tried to use the magic, according to the theory he had learned.
At that time, Ashen began to absorb the natural energy around him, by focusing it so that the energy would enter Ashen's body, as a replacement for his mana core and aura core which could not be used.
After successfully absorbing the natural energy, he tried the magic on the living creatures he saw.
And at that time, on his journey he saw a small animal running fast, as if being chased by its enemy.
The animal turned out to be a rabbit, and the rabbit ran to avoid an attack from a snake.
Coincidentally, with the natural energy he absorbed, Ashen was able to sense other energies within the bodies of other living creatures.
It turned out that the rabbit didn't have a mana core or aura core at all.
Ashen also tried to enter the rabbit's mind.
However….
Nothing happened, even though he tried many times, he still couldn't enter the rabbit's mind.
Ashen looked confused, he felt like there was something wrong with what he was doing.
He tried again to enter the rabbit's mind, but still failed until the rabbit died from the attack of the snake's venom that was chasing him.
However, at the end of the rabbit's life, Ashen again tried to enter the animal's mind.
And it worked…
However, it was not Ashen who entered the rabbit's mind, but the rabbit who was forced into Ashen's mental realm.
After successfully entering the Ashen mental realm, he immediately tried to insert the illusion magic he had learned into the rabbit's mindscape.
A moment later….
"Ding!"
Suddenly a status window appeared in the rabbit's mind and vision.
And at that time, Ashen could also see a kind of status window through his realm.
However, the status window he saw had the shape of a card from a game and appeared to be floating in the air.
The card shows an illustration of a rabbit and also contains some information on the card.
Meanwhile, what the rabbit saw was a status window floating in the air through its vision.
However, the rabbit suddenly bled profusely, and its body slowly began to crumble.
Ashen was a little confused by what was happening at that time.
He saw the body of the rabbit slowly disintegrate, like flying dust particles.
"Ugh, what am I looking at?!"
"Why is this rabbit's body crumbling like dust?!"
And again Ashen failed to use the theory of illusion magic.
He tried to reread the theory book slowly, just wanting to know where he had gone wrong.
Three days later….
Ashen has finally arrived in the city of Magnoria, where the Magnnoria Grand Academy is located.
