《Journey to Another World.... because of my Neighbour》Chater 10: Escort Quest (2)
Advertisement
For 6 days I worked in the Magic Guild, the first 3 days only translating ancient language books. However, for the last 3 days, I have been trying to research as well. Of course, good research material was locked behind Guild Points but for me who could directly read the ancient language, I could get research material anytime.
Magic is the use of Mana outside of skills. Of course, Magic skills are Skills that come from magic. At first, Magic did not exist, but people in early civilization started using Mana to control things other than skills. Such as elements, so the system adapted to it and made Skills out of these Magic spells.
So you could in a way say If there is no skill for it, we can use magic spells for it and get Magic Skills for it. Of course, magic itself is quite limited. Currently most magic is dependent on different elements. However there is a small amount dependent on Runes, Runes are the language of the universe. They're extremely hard to use and harder to research.
Currently, there are 18 Known elements. Or at least that's what ancient documents say. Morden society doesn't have any examples of some elements and doesn't believe in them. These elements are:
1. Fire
2. Water
3. Air
4. Earth
5. Light
6. Dark
7. Wood
8. Blood
9. Ice
10. Lightning
11. Sun
12. Moon
13. Soul
14. Gravity
15. Nuclear
16. Sky
17. Space
18. Time
These are the elements that the ancient Texts refer to as the True Elements. Of course, there are some sub-elements also mentioned as Hell Fire, Heavenly Fire, Phoenix Fire are Sub elements of Fire. However, some Scholars believe that these are just variations of the fire elements and suggest that Sub elements are more closely related to Elements that are born out of other Element's combinations. Such as Soul Fire being a combination of Soul and Fire element or Moon Water being a combination of Moon and Water Element.
Of course, if that is the case the argument can be made that the Ice element is then a sub-element as well and is the combination of Air and Water, but since even after replacing Water and Air in place of Ice, the spells do not work then that is not the case.

Currently, I was trying to create a spell using 2 elements. However to do that you must understand what is mastery of elements. First of all, a Mage would have Mastery over 4 Basic Elements and Affinity with Light and Dark. While a Magician (Master) would have Mastery over the first 6 elements and Affinity with the next two which are Wood and Blood. A Great Mage would have Mastery over the first 8 Elements and Mastery over the next two which are Ice and Lightning. A Sage would have Mastery over the first 10 Elements and Affinity with Sun and Moon.
With Affinity, you could use said element but cannot combine it with another one. That is where extra Magic Mastery comes to play. After you become a Mage you can master elements other than the 4 you already have. Such as me, who has Mastered Space element, a Mage can only master 2 elements other than the first 4.
That is the reason I was waiting for getting 10 thousand guild Points. There are elemental mastery scrolls that the Guild sells. The rare the scroll is it's more expensive as well. A Light and Dark element mastery scroll are 1000 guild points while Wood is 5000. They don't sell Blood element scroll as it is banned to use Blood element in Makkara kingdom. As for Ice and Lightning, each costs 10,000 Guild Points. I am planning to buy the Ice Element one. As I have already created a Spell that is a combination of Ice and Space elements.
Thus after getting myself to 10,200 points today I went into the guild shop and bought myself an Ice Element Mastery Scroll. Upon using it
{Ice Elemental Mastery acquired: Mage (Space) evolved to Mage(Space & Ice)}
Thus I used the spell I had created, as it could be used Indore quite easily.
Frozen Space: Creates a Space separate from the universe and freezes the target in this space completely.
This was an OP spell, only problem was its long chant.
Tomorrow Flora will be leaving Tut so after finishing up with Magic Guild, I went to the Adventurer's Guild. Flora had indirectly invited me to come to Runburg as well, so I was thinking of accepting the said invitation.

"Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, how may I help you?" Flora asked.
"Hi Flora," I greeted "I was also thinking of going to Runburg, as you said it's a great city and I would be awarded for my deeps by your father as well. What do you say?"
Flora's lips curled up just a bit as she answered "Well, how about you come with me. As an escort of course."
Thus I accepted the escort quest and left the Adventurer's Guild. The next morning I came to the meeting place, there was no carriage or anything there. Just two people Flora and The Knight Garin.
"How are we going to Runburg?" I asked confused.
"Oh, good you're here. We'll be using Two-Tailed Lightning Horses."
After waiting for half an hour a Tamer came with Three Horses. They were actually monsters but Tamed. I have heard they are quite fast as well.
Flora and Garin climbed one horse each and I took the last one. I had no idea how to ride a horse. I was thinking about how to break it to them. But suddenly I remembered my Taming skill and used it.
{Two-Tailed Lightning Horse is already Tamed Monster}
{Would you like to ask for temporary ownership from the Tamer or would you like to use Demon King's Authority to forcefully take the ownership?}
When I chose the former, the Tamer looked at me, smiled, and nodded.
{Temporary Ownership Acquired}
After this, I became quite confident in using the horse, after all between Tamed Monster and its Master is a mental bond that you can use to give orders. Now all I need is to balance myself atop the horse.
Our speed was extraordinary, I would say we were going faster than any train I have been in. If not for my stats I probably would have died just from the wind pressure. There were many monsters who we avoided but many more whom we had to fight. Of course, as the escort, I was the only one fighting. They didn't even help. Most monsters were around level 20 to 25 whom I fought so I got a lot of experience.
We did not stop even at the night, Twin Tailed Lightning Horse can go up to 3 days at full speed before it gets tired. And as your level goes up, you can go on without a night's sleep quite easily. Thus even at night, we kept running. During the night monsters were more aggressive and we had to fight almost all that we came across. Since both Flora and Garin knew of my Inventory I used it freely and kept all monsters that I killed in it. I can then exchange these for money and stuff later. The second night we stopped before a forest. In the plains just outside it. According to Flora, who was quite chatty now, well at least for a person who hardly talked. "This is the Undead Forest, it's named like this because there are numerous undead-type monsters in this forest. And as these monsters only come at night, it's best to cross it tomorrow. "
This time I had my sleeping hag in my Inventory so I took it out and Flora took out a tent. She had a Spacial Pocket, it's a Magic Item that works similar to Item Box skill. Of course, unlike my Inventory both these had limits. Inventory didn't have any limit to how much I could store in it.
"Why are you taking out a sleeping bag, we'll all sleep in the Tent" the tent was a 4 BHK apartment. With bathroom attached. Being Rich is quite good I thought.
After a good night's sleep, we resumed our journey. I was already at Level 18 and after the Undead Forest which in the day didn't have many monsters, I advanced to Level 19. It took us till evening to reach Runburg.
The city was Simply a Fort. And security was also quite tight. But as soon as Garin showed a badge, we were allowed to enter without any chacks.

8 202High School DEATH GAMES
"'Why,' a woman asked me, 'would they show a movie with things I do not want to see?' She is not unusual. Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds." - From the Great Roger Ebert Be forewarned, this story is not for everyone. It's not even for some people. This is for just a select few who get wet from misery and excited by suffering. This is no level up, power up, let's kill monsters, op mc, fantasy land, standard litrpg garbage you find in basically every other story on this site. If the rest of RoyalRoad is shounen (which it is), then this is Gantz/Berserk. Sorry. I lied. This is darker than Berserk and bloodier than Gantz. Not a manga fan? Then how about Korean cinema? Have you heard of Kim Ki-duk? His works The Isle, Moebius, and Pieta all come to mind. Again, this is not for normal people. There's a bunch of other normal stories for normal people to read. The whole rest of the site library is for normal. This is a special section set aside for a special type of story meant for a special kind of people. If you follow or favorite this, you're telling the whole world that you're a little different. A bit twisted. I guess you could call it the BDSM of reading. Which segues perfectly into the introduction. Are you kinky? Are you familiar with the taboo? Have you ever thought about the depths of human depravity? What I'm trying to ask is, do you like fucked up shit? Do you like massacres and public shamings? Do you like watching people fall into despair, going insane, or turning into psychopaths? Do you get turned on when love is destroyed and hedonism reigns king? Well, I've got the perfect story for you! If you're uncomfortable with profanity, gore, sexual and traumatising content, then I recommend you move on. I won't judge you just cause you're a pussy. And I'm not talking about the fake labels of the other candy ass stories on this site who think their shit is morbid or even remotely disturbing, I'm talking about the shocking, offensive, real fucked up shit that you can't even use incognito mode for and you gotta install Tor browser. (You don't actually need to install Tor, you idiot.) If you love that shit or even if you're just curious, then read on. I swear it's not as bad as you think it'll be. It's much worse. - Signed with no love, Marley (written by a friend in the voice of Marley) Unapologetic, cynical, pretentious, pessimistic, hypocritical, selfish, sarcastic, passive, apathetic asshole main character named Marley. Alternate POV: Badass, intelligent, proactive, loving, nice, friendly, optimistic co-main character Sophia. This is essentially a rough draft. Grammar and spelling has been read through and fixed for the most part. If you don't like something, tell me why you don't like it. Don't just rate it low anonymously. Thanks.
