Scene 4B - Spells
A few days had passed since Rune had awaken from her trance, and she was currently busy learning how to cast magic. Moving rhythmically, she kicked and punched the air to release torrents of flame and poison. Unlike Vince, who had slowly studied to build up elegant spell models, Rune just used the cruder way of infusing each of her physical attacks with magic.
By the standards of mages that like to fight from a distance, Rune's current style was extremely savage. Rune made a claw with her hand and slashed downward, creating a massive fire claw that she named . Immediately after, she followed up by crooking two of the fingers on her other hand to create two fangs coated with poison, which she named . The attacks were both lightning fast and powerful, and when used against Vince's current would break through his technique like it was merely wet toilet paper.
But Rune wasn't done yet. She stepped forward, turning on her heel and jabbed out with an elbow coated in both flames and poison. Borrowing momentum from the movement, she quickly stepped back and swung out with a powerful roundhouse kick that consumed the built up flames and poison to create a massive web-like explosion.
Rune stopped testing out moves with a grin on her face and took out a towel to wipe off her sweat before sitting down next to a gourd full of water. After wiping herself off, she took a drink to hydrate her parched throat only to have drops of water escape and fall down her neck.
After a long drink, she placed the gourd back into her ring, and wiped the water off of herself before doing the same with the towel, “What to name that attack… ? Nah, that doesn't sound cute or cool enough... how about ? Yeah, let’s go with that! Then Saren won’t call me unlady like...”

Satisfied with the name, Rune got into the lotus position and quickly began to refill her mana. Unlike Vince, who found ways to cut down on mana loss and use less than what he regained naturally, Rune expanded mana freely and wastefully while casting her magic, causing her to be able to only use a few attacks before running out of steam.
After a while she was fully charged once more and ready to keep experimenting with her magic. She had the power down, so next came the efficiency of her attacks. At the most she could last only five minutes before completely exhausting her mana reserves.
In a short fight five minutes might be all she needed, but her master had given her advice stating that a mage should be as efficient as possible. Not using too much mana or too little to deal with a problem.
It embarrassed her as she was lacking in this element, so she had first trained by moving her body in the ways shown in the few fighting books her master had given her. Having learned enough moves, Rune decided that it was time to refine what she had learned and reduce the massive cost her abilities needed.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
