[Day 18]
Day 18, huh?
I am over midway through the first month in this world, and it could be said that it hasn't been a nice visit here.
Isekai is not easy at all.
And it wasn't the conventional one, I had to die and reincarnate somewhere else randomly as this dragon filled with nice cheats that need a lot of practice and requirements to actually be useful.
Damn, must be nice to be reborn as a rich kid with powerful cheats without actual requirements to use like all those stories I have read.
But I guess I got the short end of the stick? Or maybe not?
Well, perhaps I am just complaining too much because I still miss my bed.
Anyways, I have not even slept.
Nor do I think I need to sleep.
I am not a human anymore, you know?
I know about animals on Earth that can stay awake for a lot of time, like, they can sleep for two hours a day or even just ten a week and be completely fine.
I guess an Ice Dragon is like that too?
Although I have seen that dragons always sleep, I guess I am not like those lazy guys.
I spent the entire day and night training my body, magic, and more.
Now, I have grasped the way of the blade.
Or well, not so much but yeah, you get me.
Ice Knives? No more.
I can now summon a true blade of ice as hard as iron… or maybe more? I don't know how hard is iron.
The way to figure out magic is simple after I trained diligently.
In simple terms, magic is imagination.
You have the power to turn your imagination into reality through these elements, your affinities, and mana.
The more I train my mind to think faster through the High-Speed Thought Processing alongside my ability to control mana through Mana Control, the better I become at materializing what I am imagining through the elements I can use.

Yeah, no, I can't get anything I want.
Magic has a lot of rules, I can't make a sausage out of ice magic.
Wait, I don't think you can come to a sausage out of any magic element…
Anyways, I meant by shapes, forms, and that sort of stuff.
By using imagination, I can shape ice into an Ice Knife.
It took me days, but I had done it.
The next course of action is to obviously make Ice blades.
I did them before, but I practiced until I was able to finally do them with a small thought in my mind.
Each blade, however, costs around 10 Mana, double that of an Ice Knife!
So, I might still use Knives until the enemy is too tough for that, but Ice Knives seem to be fine against Ice Wolves.
Ah, don't get me wrong, I have tried doing other shapes, but the most effective thing that I have come out with is projectiles.
I could generate ice out of my feet and move it forward, but that would waste tremendous amounts of Mana.
Like the Boku No Hero Academia kid with the ice and fire powers, when he generates that amount of ice… yeah, that's not realistic at all, you would literally have a headache after using so much Mana in here.
I don't know what even fuels the powers in that world but the way they can use them so freely was always something that bothered me.
I mean, yeah, they have calories I guess? But if you generate that amount of ice… you would probably spend all of your energy and fall unconscious after a while, this guy could do it almost indefinitely.
Couldn't he simply cover the entire world with ice or something?
Seriously, doing that with Magic would cost me hundreds! All of my magic fuel would be gone in an instant for an attack that I cannot even control well.

I can generate things as Ice Walls, but those also cost a bunch.
When I covered my cave with the ice wall, I wasted like 80 Mana.
Yeah…
That's a way of making compact ice projectiles that I can launch into the air is the most effective way of fighting with ice magic, for now.
Maybe when I become of higher Ranks I can do this freely? But now, it's a total waste of Mana.
For now, projectiles are the way.
And now, let's talk about wind magic.
Wind magic is "freer" than ice magic, as it is non-corporeal.
Wind doesn't seem to have a complete physical form of sorts, so you spend mana only for the wind to move around.
Well, you also spend it to generate a gust of wind.
But now, through using that same concept, I can generate more than a gust of wind.
By generating the gust of wind and then shaping it and moving it according to my will and imagination, I can keep the wind going around endless as long as I supply mana.
If I keep this wind small and compact, it won't drain as much Mana, but the drain of mana is still constant, and unlike just conjuring a gust of wind to go to a certain direction, it won't cost a single amount of Mana and that's it.
This is the "telekinesis-like" spell I made using Wind Attribute, by manipulating the formless and transparent flows of wind, I can more or less manipulate an object and make it float however I want, but my range is limited to my own Mana capacity, and the more projectiles I load, the more mana I need to use.
For now, it is not as much, but whenever I can mass a good quantity of Mana, I could push an enemy away, and when I become even stronger and soar through the Ranks, I could even push mountains away with the wind.
The wind is a powerful attribute, and it is everywhere.
I am more of a wind dragon now, huh?
Well now, I still main Ice Attribute, without it, my wind wouldn't be able to do anything, both attributes complement each other wonderfully. Without the other, I wouldn't be able to use magic as efficiently.
I guess this might be how others use magic in this world, by using different attributes and complementing each other?
Or maybe I am special, and people can only use one attribute?
Hmm…
I keep training my mind and body, as the day goes by…

8 263Homecoming Hero [Post/Reverse Isekai]
A Reverse/Post-Isekai story. When he was only fourteen, Morgan Moon was thought to have died in an infamous plane crash. Instead, he arrived in the world of Validar where he discovered that he was the Chosen One prophesied to rid Validar's Nine Realms of its maniacal tyrants. After a decade-long adventure across this new world, Morgan fulfilled his destiny at the cost of his life. This, however, only concluded the hero's saga in Validar itself. Rather than making a final departure to the afterlife, he's found himself back on Earth after ten years. To his shock, he hasn't made the journey alone. Quite a few and far from the friendliest of Morgan's 'old associates' from Validar had made their way to Earth ahead of him, and they all have been eagerly awaiting the Chosen One's return for one reason or another. The hero's homecoming will not quite be the wholesome event he was hoping for.
8 193Greene's Monthly Contest
most writers don't have enough recognition. most of them only win awards based on the general aspects of a story; genre or theme, judged by the same things, not appreciating the genius behind the chapters. same awards, same results.--and we disagree with that.
