Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path

Leon quickly found a way to counter those annoying feelings, by using Mind Melding on himself, he managed to revive several moments of his life. At first, the skill had been surprisingly effective, considering that Leon felt incredibly motivated many times after some sessions. However, soon Leon understood wasn't a complete solution to his problems... nothing was. The more he experienced some parts of his old life, the less he felt after re-experiencing them.

"I guess this is only obvious... even though those were precious moments of my life, they are precious because I experienced them just once," Leon said. "Experiencing them would only make them less precious."

At the very least, by training, Leon could forget about his worries. Even though ignoring his problems wasn't a good thing to do, just worrying about them endlessly wouldn't help him in any way. Regardless, Leon learned a few pretty neat spells. Their cost was high, but it was pretty useful and quite dreadful to see in action. Sunlight Nova was the exactly thing Leon wanted to create a satellite for. Using magic, he made the area around a monster or monsters get so hot that everything in it would just turn into dust. One would think that a meteor fell in that place, but one wouldn't see any signs of it.

"Although poison can truly sign when it is inside someone's body, it can't be ignored when it falls on the eyes or the nose of someone," Leon said while watching some pterodactyls agonizing thanks to the Poison Rain.

Following the same logic that applied to spells that had the shape of eastern dragons, Leon tried to create magic projectiles using monsters and animals as a reference. However, even though he created them pretty fast, Leon didn't receive any notification.

"I thought I could create the spell I wanted, but it seems that I didn't notice that still exist hidden rules when it comes to spell creation and learning," Leon said. "Well, no matter. I just have to look in Ilyana's vault and try to replicate whatever is there."

Although that worked for a while, Leon was a specialist in finding destructive ways to use his mana. Meanwhile, Ilyana's vault was full of tomes that mostly could teach him of non-offensive magic and spells. While that could be learned, Leon wouldn't be able to train his other spells, and he was pretty sure none of those would fall in the elemental magic category.

"It will be hard to keep saving those coins..." Leon said and then sighed.

Congratulations! The skill Summon Ice Golem has reached the max level.

You obtained 01 status points.

In the end, another of Leon's skills reached the max level, and he started to work and learn the next summoning skill. Now that Leon thought about it, he couldn't help but wonder if he summons monsters from his mind using Mind Summoning wouldn't be more convenient. Although the price of the skill was high and its cost would be even more absurd, everything would be solved with a single thought. Perhaps he would even receive some skills notifications.

"... Why do I keep thinking of ways to find even more free time?" Leon asked after a long sigh.

It was insane, but even though learning and practicing his spells were the only thing Leon could do to past time productively, it looked like he wanted to get rid of that process as well.

"Still... I wonder what the limits of Mind Summoning are..." Leon rubbed his chin.

That was a dangerous topic, but Leon couldn't help but feel attracted to it. Without a doubt, that was one god-like ability, so it was very possible that he could do god-like things with it. For example, creating humans... even without having it yet, Leon already could imagine himself regretting in the future. Just like Ilyana said, every magic has a weakness, and lately, he learned that most times, the weakness was the caster.

"I already decided that I wouldn't create living beings... but maybe I could create... my parents..." Leon bit his lips. "No, I can't fall for that temptation... even if I create them, their existence will be determined by my memories. They won't be my real parents."

Leon also started to understand that Sekundez's trial was even harder than he had imagined. In that environment where one could get stronger indefinitely and obtain all kinds of powers, the chances of one going mad were exceptionally high. Things were even more complicated thanks to the fact that Leon had access to Ilyana's vault.

"Now, I'm back to the square one, and I'm questioning her actions and goals again," Leon said.

After a long sigh, Leon resumed his training. In the end, he could only accept that he was bound to reexperience several things over and over on his life. Based on his life experience, it was obvious that he would experience the most annoy thing things quite frequently.
