Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

The brain and will integration, which was also known as the will infusion in Fuiren's memory was a very hard technique to commence. It takes a person's whole concentration from beginning to end.

The first step was to bring all 'will' to the center of the brain. It sounded easy but in reality, it was a very hard process. Both a person's control and talent will be tested in this process.

Right at the moment, Zick was controlling all his 'will' and gathering in the middle of the brain. But he felt a headache looking at the 'will' which took a long time to gather.

Zick grimaced: 'Fuiren was easily able to do it, this showed his immense talent in this profession. It's a letdown that my current potential is still in the peak rank. If it was in the archmage level, this could have been a breeze for me....'

Zick's eyebrows trembled as he thought, just by thinking a little, the speed of gathering 'will' fell by a noticeable rate.

With all the things that Zick has gone through, he became a lot more cautious than before. He would give up the moment he felt that creating 'will' veins is not possible.

Within dozens of minutes, all the 'will' gathered in the middle of the brain, looking like a round lump of white miasma. This white miasma gave out a sense of energy.

The second step was the creation of the 'will' vein!

A little mashup in this process could be very bad for Zick. Damage to the brain could lead to memory loss and in the worst case, death.

With Zick controlling the 'will' using all his concentration, many strands of 'will' started extending from the round lump of 'will'.

These strands of 'will' are first attached to the spinal cord. The spinal cord is very important as the brain uses it to communicate with the body part. It was important to strengthen it first to make the body and mind communicate with no problem.

Now, the strands of 'will' will act as a means of communication between the brain and the body, making it more efficient.

If the mind is too fast and the body can't keep up, what's the point of it then?

This was one of the reasons why in fuiren's era every person walked into the mages profession secondarily.

After the spinal cord, the cerebrum was the next to be connected and started to strengthen slightly.

One by one all the brain's important parts were connected to the 'will' vein.

Zick's whole head was covered in sweat. He had already gulped down two stamina potions to replenish his lost 'will' by now. Strengthening his brain of course needed the expenditure of his 'will', so he had to refill it again in the middle.

In the end, the round lump of 'will' had turned illusionary and shrunk to not even ten percent of its original size.

As Zick willed, this left-out 'will' was also transmitted throughout the white veins. There were more than 20 strands connected in place right below the crown of Zick's head.

From now on, the risk of his 'will' pressuring a single part of his brain would be nonexistent. This is actually what happened to Seveleen in the novel, causing her to lose her sanity momentarily.

This was the reason she destroyed the capital of a kingdom. Thanks to her last piece of sanity left, she didn't hurt any citizen, fortunately.

The most talented person in history suffered such a setback in her path, fate really likes to play with people. For this reason, she suffered from headaches constantly.

Here was where a cliche situation occurred, when Seveleen was near Aeiron, her headache would vanish like it never appeared!

Because of this, Seveleen's and Aeironxs relationship deepened.

Zick had some speculation about it now: 'It might be because of God's blessing....'

Zick only felt apprehension toward this being called God. He had speculated that the sun God, Velveric, was behind the magic disaster. If it's true, it would mean God could look through the people they have blessed.

This sort of thing made Zick reconsider if keeping Seveleen and Varine around was a good thing.

But the conclusion he reached was: discarding his plan for just this kind of speculation wasn't worth it.

'They might also be affecting my thought process but it is still speculation in the end.'

The main point was that Zick could tell this 'will' infusion technique to Seveleen, this would enable her to not turn crazy momentarily like in the novel.

He withheld this technique for now as there were still more than three years or so before that happened.

Feeling the 'will' vein to have formed without any problem. Zick felt joyful inwardly, he didn't fail in the end.

There were countless benefits from forming 'will' veins.

Thought process speed would increase by leap and bound. This will help Zick to think faster and react to any unforeseen situation.

Zick could remember things more easily and his reaction speed should have also increased by a lot. The other things related to the brain would also see a noticeable amount of change.

Zick's eyes fluttered open slowly, there was a visible change in his eyes. It shone like there was a star in it, especially the red eyes that gave out a glaring glow.

"So you succeeded in your first try. Failing in forming 'will' veins causes many to have trauma, after all, you are lucky." The cat spoke with a tinge of relaxation in its voice.

Zick didn't say anything to it and instead turned towards Levienel, he remembered something.

"You have the ring of the Garcia family's head, right miss Levienel?" Zick had almost forgotten about this matter.

There were no mana crystals in the treasury so it is most probably in the space ring of the Garcia family's head.

"Space ring?" Levienel thought before answering: "It was destroyed along with that old man."

This news was like a lightning flash that struck him, Zick stared at Levienel blankly.

When a space ring is destroyed, the things within it are also destroyed along with it. So the mana crystal must have also been destroyed along with it.

Zick placed his hand on the table and breathed in loudly. He self-reflected: '...This is my fault. I should have considered that to Levienel the space ring of that Garcia family's head must be useless.'

Zick sighed outwardly: "Then never mind. Where do you usually sleep?"

"I don't sleep." Levienel's answer was curt.

Zick could only shake his head internally upon hearing this, but he didn't mind. He could stay awake the whole night with no problem.

Levienel's curse was different from Aishel's. Instead of the area of the curse, the curse's potency increases. In another word, it would suck in life force more rapidly as she stays in one place.

It had already turned evening with the sun almost setting on the horizon.

Zick calculated the things he got from the Garcia family's treasury.

In total there were-

Three legendary-grade weapons, a black dagger, a blue bow, and a silver sword.

This type of weapon was very rare, only people with high social standing like royalty and dukes have it.

Other weapons did not have much attraction to Zick. There are around one hundred and seventy of them. They would most probably be sold off later on.

There were only two elixir-grade potions, which was a disappointment. But it was understandable as alchemy wasn't widely spread in the middle continent.

One was a healing type, which Zick could use in an emergency and the other one was a strengthening type potion that could strengthen one's bone. It didn't increase potential or strengthen mana nerves, unfortunately.

With no hesitation, Zick decided to drink it right away.

The vial it was stored in looked fancy, dark green liquid was stored within it.

Opening the vial, Zick lifted it and brought it near to his mouth. He gulped it down at once, the liquid was very murky and left a disgusting taste in his mouth. It made him squint his eyes a little.

"Hmm, I have heard that it would hurt a lot after drinking that poison so be careful." The cat warned.

Hearing this, Zick tried saying something but suddenly, his face cramped.

Zick got off the table and moved away feeling a sense of revulsion rising from deep within his body.

'Why...?' Zick wanted to curse, he felt like he was being played by. This time his heart didn't absorb the potion!

This irritated Zick for the first time in a long time. He could not predict the reason this happened at all.

Zick thought calmly: 'It probably has something to do with the potion. Is it because it does not increase my potential?' This looked like the most probable reason.

'It doesn't even strengthen my mana nerves, just my bones so that might be the most possible answer....'

Zick looked at what was going on within his body.

The dark green liquid was absorbed by Zick's body, this energy made his body have a sense of revulsion. After being absorbed, it headed to all the bones of his body.

The green energy actually directly penetrated his bone!

"Ugh!" Zick groaned. The process had only started.

The green energy started penetrating Zick's bones from all over the body.

"Ahh! Kuh!" Zick suppressed his scream with a clenched jaw while crouching down. He looked at the ground with a fierce face, there was sweat gathering all around his handsome face.

Crack~ Zick'a body shook with the sound of his bones creaking and even cracking ringing out.

'Why do all things in this world include going through torture? It is sickening....' Zick complained to vent his annoyance.

After half an hour.

The green energy was absorbed by Zick's bone at last.
