After going through the book which gave vague information that's needed on a basic level, Gung Sook-Joo selected a technique called Water Myrad, this technique is used when there are bigger water surfaces near, he wanted to start practising right away but he needed to drink purifying water, he also thought it may help him to cleanse his body.

He went over too well and started lowering the bucket to get water, after pulling a bucket out, he surprisingly only saw 3 bottles of water inside the bucket, he got one bottle and inspected it, it looked holy, but not too much extravagant it was decorated in the red veil, the bottle itself was transparent and it was full of normal-looking water.

He went into the house, opened the bottle and took a sip, he didn't feel anything so he took more, in the bottle there was more water than it seemed like, it only got depleted a little bit after taking so much, after 10minutes he started feeling effects, his body started heating up and his heart started pumping faster and faster, from his forehead started coming up dark mass after a while it started coming from other parts of the body too, flying toward the forehead and stopping before touching it, a ball started becoming bigger and bigger until it reached the size of a ping-pong ball, Gung Sook-Joo abruptly opened his eyes and ball fell on the floor.

After 30minutes of clearing black mass he noticed his body looked much better than before, it seemed pale before but now it had good olive-brown colour, he also seemed to have more stamina and could exert more strength, but it seemed like he only dispelled a small part of impurities, as it said in the book that impurities are always being created with each breath he takes they are keeping muscles, bones, organs, blood circuits and golden circuits connected, it forces the body to improve, if the body can't keep up with improvement it destroys itself

Golden circuits are organs that stimulate mana and allow it to shape to user will there are countless golden circuits in the body, which allow a smooth transition.

After that Gung Sook-Joo started using the Water Myrad stage 1 technique, this technique stimulates water energy and transform it into pure form sending it to golden circuits which spread it through the body and strengthen organs, so the body can create pillars that will hold magic in the second stage, although he can start mana shaping at the first stage, the progress will regress.

After failing several times because he couldn't use the breathing technique rhythmically, he finished it once, as he was about to start doing it the second time he heard a prompt from the system.

[Unlocked skill 'Mana Circulation']

[Unlocked skill 'Pillar building']

After this, it seemed like Gung Sook-Joo gained enlightenment and he continued using the technique, after 3 hours of using the technique he got prompt that skill levelled up.

After another 2 hours of using a skill he went to sleep, thinking that sleep is necessary for brain and body as well, he went to find bed and gone through all rooms except central one, each room was empty, he checked central room unexpecting anything to be found, surprisingly in that room only thing that there was a wooden throne, the room itself is spacious throne was at a fair distance from doors, on the throne, there was circle print and in circle word 'your majesty' wrote in a language he surprisingly understood, but in the end, he slept on the floor.

Day 2.

After he woke up he got prompt, he was surprised and after checking it he got incredibly happy.

[A group of people will be arriving in 7 days.]

'First people of my empire hoho, how will they react knowing I learnt magic? I must reach the second stage so I can fight if they try to harm me, the worst-case scenario I flee until I become strong enough.'

After this he decided to name his empire, 'I am not so good with names how should I name it' after wrecking his brain for half of an hour he decided on the vaguest name.

'Status!'

'Name empire, 'Central Magical Empire''

[Changing name to 'Central Magical Empire']

[Gained 100points for naming your empire]

[Leveled up]

[Congratulations for reaching level 2]

After getting this done I continued with the magic practice, after several hours of practising I got the prompt that I levelled up my skill again.

I started getting hungry so I hunted some fish to eat, practicing magic require a lot of nutrients and make you hungry fast, I got around 8 fishes put campfire cooked them in the pot I made from earth previously and used purifying water to experiment, fish was unexpectedly tasty and my mind became clearer upon eating it, the effect didn't last long only about 20minutes.

I decided to plant a spiritual tree, I choose to plant it next to well, after putting seed I yet again used purifying water for it, seed looked fairly normal, after this I decided to make a shovel with materials I have, it was a hard process because I didn't use the system for it, recept to insta-making was available in the shop but I didn't want to spend points on it, so I used wood and rope to somehow make a crappy shovel.

I used a shovel for road making I made road with several other connected streets/roads, I planned to make several houses on those.
