I started training for the first spell. I took around an hour to construct a circle with a symbol.
Symbols determine the grade of the spell one symbol means stage -1 spell then 7 symbols mean stage -7 spell.
I tried to channel mana perfectly into it but I messed up. I was sent back a step due to it only being stage 1. I practised until half my death mana ran out. I managed to cast it only once perfectly.
I opened the panel.
SPELL – GRIM AURA (20/100)
HINT: Spells are 50% calculation and 50% intent and focus both on the same time.
I stopped the training and rested for an hour and completed mana pathway for dark attribute. This continued daily for a week which allowed to master both Grim Aura and Ghoul's Grasp perfectly, I mastered the bone removing spell with rats and other small animals. In this week I also mastered my arts. I was satisfied and opened the panel.
I opened the panel.
Spells:
Grim Aura (100/100)
Ghoul's Grasp (100/100)
Bone removing spell (100/100)
Art
Movement art – Phantom Step [Basic] (100/100)
Scythe art– Swift Reaper [Basic] (100/100)
Stage 1- Awakened [2700/10000]
Hint: During pathway creation, focus on harmonizing your breath with the flow of mana. Visualize the mana as a river flowing through your veins, and allow your breathing to guide its path. Spend time in meditation to strengthen this connection and ensure a smooth integration.
I followed the advice for a week and found that many residual amounts of mana in both death and dark magic is still existing in the body and not reached its core.
I tried to focus just like mana absorption pulled the residue slowly little by little and absorption all the dark mana in my body. AS for the death mana the hint told me to not touch it for now so I followed.
During this time, I searched for dark mana spells and rituals I selected 3 spells and 3 rituals.
Spells:
Shadow Flicker: Create small, distracting shadows to confuse enemies.
Dark Pulse: Emit a weak pulse of dark energy to repel minor threats.
Night Whispers: Whisper unsettling words to create minor fear.
Rituals:
Nightfall Elixir: Concoct an elixir that, when consumed, enhances the user's vision in complete darkness for an hour.
Shadow Calling: Summon a small shadow familiar for an hour.
Fear Charm: Create a charm imbued with minor fear.
I decided to buy the corpses now and went to mother she saw it coming and took me to the bank where I saw my parent's inheritance account. I saw several rooms in my parents' name. It contains several things such as
Money, Spells, Rituals, Weapons, Armour, shoulder pads etc.
Instead of taking money from my parent's account Mother told me the money I will get was orphan fund for a child in National heroes' child's orphanage which was around 55000 Digital Credits (Digicreds) totally for 11 years.
I showed my id and registration was completed and I got my card which contains 55000 Digicreds. Then we went to the monster facility there I saw different types of corpses starting from the lowest as goblins, wolves, to higher stage beings.
Mother explained to me all the process of my the corpses then I went there myself I gave my id for registration and bought 5 goblin and 1 wolves corpses.
Goblin corpses cost – 400 Digicreds/ corpse
Wolf corpse cost – 350 Digicreds/ corpse
I spent 2350 credits on corpses. I will also get access to parents' vault when I reach stage 2 and became a qualified adventurer.
