While I was travelling on the forest of illusions I found a ghoul walking.
"?" (Zach)
I hid my presence and snuck on it's back to hit it with a dagger.
"No damage huh?" (Zach)
"Guess I'll have to use magic then" (Zach)
I manipulated the mana surrounding us and dissipated the mana that the ghoul had.
"Graah!" (Ghoul)
The ghoul died, as to how it died, ghouls are mainly made of mana and a tiny bit of their retained soul, but they are corrupted with dark magic, so light magic will destroy them effectively.
Since no one knew that ghouls are made of mana, they only use light magic to kill them, but by manipulating the mana inside them, they will die without a doubt.
"It's like they're old piles of batteries" (Zach)
You could absorb their mana so kill them or just dissipate them, but absorbing their mana is way more better as when you're in a fight you can use the mana that you absorbed.
"So if I could make a weapon that could absorb mana, that would be useful" (Zach)
"Back to Glory again" (Zach)
So I upgraded the nano machines so that they could absorb mana whenever I want to.
Meaning I had to adjust the enchanting and programming facilities.
"God, why is this so much work just for comfort?" (Zach)
I had been going here and there just to upgrade the nano machines.
I had fun making things cause they came from my mind and was actually worth a try doing it.
"I'm going back outside, staying in Glory is too boring" (Zach)
I went outside Glory and started roaming around, just as I had walked a few meters I was immediately met with a scream from out of nowhere.
"Nooo!!!" (???)
I looked towards the direction of the scream and saw a fairy being chased by a crazed panther.
"This is why weak people don't live in a goddamn forest" (Zach)
As I had already experienced that one, I already knew that weak people wouldn't be able to survive within a day if you are not strong enough.
The bracelet I wore turned into a gun this invention is called a Bracelet gun as it is a bracelet that turns into a gun.
I was able to achieve this as I am now able to store a lot of nano machines by using space magic to store the other nano machines so that the creation wouldn't be bulky.
"Eat bullets you annoying black cat" (Zach)
I shot the panther and a bullet flew towards it, after getting near the panther the bullet activated a magic spell called "Combustion" and incinerated the panther.
"I-Im saved.." (Fairy)
The fairy fell down and let out a huge sigh of relief.
"So, why are you here?" (Zach)
The gun went back to the bracelet form, while I stood infront of her.
"I-I-I-I'm Laura, a-a fairy" (Laura)
"A fairy huh" (Zach)
"Well, good luck surviving" (Zach)
"W-Wait!" (Laura)
"What?" (Zach)
"Can you please accompany me?" (Laura)
"Sure" (Zach)
I accompanied Laura towards her village, in her village was a lot of fairies holding staffs.
"Dad!" (Laura)
"Laura!" (Laura's Dad)
Laura's dad hugged her tightly, crying out of happiness.
"I thought you were gone..." (Laura's dad)
"Ahem, so what now?" (Zach)
"O-oh, thank you" (Laura's dad)
"For starters, why are you hiding using an illusion barrier?" (Zach)
"You noticed?!" (Laura's dad)
"Yeah, it's so obvious with this much amount of mana" (Zach)
"Are you safe?" (Laura's dad)
"Yes" (Laura)
"Do you have knowledge about magic?" (Zach)
"The fairies are well known for their illusion magic, we could teach you how" (Laura)
"Start first with the basics, I don't want to skip anything" (Zach)
"Okay" (Laura)
Laura taught me the basics and I carefully studied the magic circle structures to easily learn illusion magic.
"Did you understand anything?" (Laura
"Yep, I'll just make something" (Zach)
I used the basics and implemented it to my bracelet gun, after implementing the newly made spell, I reprogrammed the bracelet so that it would supply mana into the magic circle in which has the illusion magic.
"Aand, I'm done" (Zach)
I turned on the bracelet and the bracelet became invisible.
"What is this?!, the accessory just disappeared?!" (Laura)
"Yeah, I just used something from my knowledge to do this" (Zach)
By using light magic and illusion magic, I was able to make an invisibility spell, something like a compound spell, moreover its mana is well hidden so they thought it was gone, out of existence.
"And where is that thing..." (Zach)
"?, what are you doing?" (Laura)
I turned the bracelet into a pistol and carefully aimed using an Integrated Aiming System to help me become more accurate, BTW the IAS uses light magic to show a scope and a little bit of programming to make the circle inside the scope lock onto the target.
"Wow, still accurate as ever" (Zach)
The bullet was directly headed towards the phantom bird, and along with some previous adjustments to the gun, I was able to make the bullet fly faster and be more destructive.
After the bullet landed, the bird was obliterated, blood and little of pieces of flesh was scattered.
"What did you do?!" (Laura)
"Oh, just killed it, see?" (Zach)
I turned off the invisibility and allowed them to see the gun.
"Space magic user?, that's rare" (???)
"Who?" (Zach)
"Pardon for the interruption, but I just wanted to see the human who saved one of my citizens" (???)
"E-Elder Lara" (Laura)
"You trying to hurt her?" (Zach)
I was prepared to defend, though its stats are lower than mine, but with it being able to use magic, I did not let my guard down as Laura might get hurt.
"Sorry, sorry, I just came to see you, no need for any fights, you're welcome in here anytime" (Lara)
"Okay" (Zach)
It left and I traced where the caster was.
"You can't escape, I've got you locked down" (Zach)
I shot a stun bullet towards the caster, the caster was stunned, I used God's Eye to see behind the trees.
"What is it that you did?" (Laura's dad)
"Here is your culprit, the one pretending to be Lara, or maybe Lara herself" (Zach)
The imitation or probably the illusion and semi physical form of the fairy-like being was a spell.
"I've got to say, I'm interested in the spell you've used" (Zach)
"Ahh-ahhh-hhhh-aaa!!" (???)
"Seriously, stop convulsing and speak" (Zach)
I held her head and prepared to use a blinding spell, she cannot live for Laura's village sake, she will cause trouble.
"Stop!" (Laura)
"Sure" (Zach)
I cancelled the spell, the mana dissipated into the air.
"G-Gah, haah, haah" (???)
I left her on the ground, not minding her actions.
"Tell me, why are you doing this?" (Laura)
"...." (???)
"Not going to talk?, well, that's okay, you just keep everything to yourself, but make sure that if you harm Laura or anyone in this area, then be prepared for what's going to come upon you" (Zach)
The woman nodded, she seems silent, but keeps something hidden, she has the aura of a person who researches something seriously, just like Paron.
"Do you like researching?" (Zach)
"...yes..." (Woman)
"I see, do you have no ill intentions towards this village?" (Zach)
"Yes" (Woman)
"Can you tell me something about the thing that you are currently researching?" (Zach)
"Hmm, I'll just say it in a shorter explanation, my research is about summoning magic, how they work, where do these beings come from, if there is, then what world?, if it is created by a God, then who?" (Researcher)
"Wow, what a weird kind of philosophy but okay" (Zach)
"Now, if you may excuse me, I need to go and research more" (Researcher)
"Okay" (Zach)
I left to let her research some more.

So....kinda late to update but here it is, sorry for not being able to update frequently, as you know, I'm suffering from a long term writer's block(self diagnosed), my imagination is going wild but can't seem to put the pieces together, I know what I'm saying is bulls**t but hey, atleast I was able to update.
Also, you could go and read "God of Death" on my books, old and was specifically made for my homework, but it's still fine after reading it again after many months(but not longer than a year).
