《In Harry Potter with OTS System》CHAPTER 13 – Grinding my ML like crazy (Part 1)
Advertisement
“Well, what should I start with?”-I said as I look around with my Magic Spell Book in my hands. “Well. Let’s start completing quests.”-I said as I turn towards one of the targets for practice, that’s kind of like a wizard puppet, kind of creepy also.
“Exevo Flam Hur”-I said while pointing my hands towards him.
Immediately, from the palm of my hand, a wave of flames went towards the target, it spread in a cone-shaped way over the floor, burning everything around until it got to the target, almost touching the two that were next to it. Even after the fire ended spreading, a field of flames stayed there, burning on the floor, and also covering the target in the fire.
In some ways, it resembles a small breath of fire from a dragon, but smaller, and not so quite destructive. Still, it could make serious damage if someone gets burned with this…
“Holy… Fuck… It was great that I didn’t use this while in the orphanage…”-I said while looking at the flames still burning there in front of me.
[Congratulations! You’ve completed a quest! You went over the expectations and started your path as a pyromaniac with an even more powerful and destructive fire spell! When others start with an apprentice strike, you went all the way to use the flame wave spell. (out of cowardice for not doing the quest before) Now you can be called an arsonist!]
[25pts have been earned]
[Old quest of using apprentice strike to turn a target to ashes will be canceled. 5pts more added for using higher-level fire spell.]
“Ho!!! Let the points rain!!!!”-I said while jumping with both arms raised. “Soon I’ll be able to do as I please with my points! This means that I have to buy a few Blank Runes to test rune spells. But before that, let’s test a few more spells and theories. I have a lot of time for the moment.”
“Well, that was a good test for simple activation. Now, let’s test a higher-level spell.”-I then turned around towards the other side, to look at another target.
I pointed my hand at the target.
“Exevo Vis Lux”-I incanted the spell and from my hand, an energy beam was shot.
It was like seeing some kind of white lightning shot towards the enemy, and while it wasn’t too large in size, it did damage everything where it passed by while actually making damage to things around the way, I could see it while looking at the floor, that had some burned marks and there was still some electricity left there.
While the damage didn’t spread as much as with the fire wave spell, it was fast. An almost instantly shot thunder that electrified and damaged everything on its way. The target was totally burned where the energy beam impacted, and it was electrified, with streams of electricity traveling all around it.
I even walked around it, and the back was also burned. As if the energy beam passed through him.

“Man… This sure could burn a few people inside out…”-I said. “Well. Next, let’s go with a few more tests. Sadly, this one spell didn’t have a quest attached to it…”-With that said, I opened my book to look for more spells. And taking out those that needed runes, I still had the strike spells, of which I already tested the energy strike and the death strike. I still have the others.
“Mm…”-I pondered while rubbing my chin. “Maybe… Let’s test using my wand with it.”-I said taking out my wand from its holster. “Let’s see what can I do with you and my spells.”
At first, I looked towards the target that was burned, it seems like the fire was put out, as there wasn’t anything there, and a new target stood tall.
“Let’s go with those that I’ve already tested, so I can check the increase. Though, the ML sure would have something to do there too.”
“Exori Vis”-I incanted while pointing my wand towards the target. Immediately, from the tip of my wand, a sphere of lightning the size of a tennis ball went out towards the target at great speed.
*SCREEEECH*
Once the sphere impacted the target, it was pushed back while being electrified. It was pushed a lot, at least what could be like six to seven steps, probably even ten.
“Though I can’t be sure of the electrifying effect, as it was immobile from the start, so there’s no way to see if it was paralyzed.”-I then turned to the other target. “Well, let’s go.”
“Exori Mort”-I said and a ghastly projectile, the size of a somewhat big bullet, went towards the target, as if it was some kind of concentrated smoke missile, exploding everywhere once it hit and pushing the target a few steps back.
The attack didn’t have much attack after that, but once I got closer to the target, I could see the material that made the puppet totally oxidated, with even chipped bits and missing spaces.
“I guess the ‘death’ element affects as some kind of decaying or aging spell, making things ‘die’ in an accelerated way…”-I thought to myself. “Though. Looking at this… The flowers died faster, and totally… So… Maybe the spell isn’t strong enough to completely kill someone…”
Looking around, I could see that only a small part of the target was damaged, while the rest was intact. Don’t take me wrong. A hit in the right place could perfectly be an instant kill. But… The same could be said with any spell with enough strength or the correct element…
Thinking about it, I, once again went back, pointing my wand towards the arm of the same target.
“Exori Mort”-I incanted, and the same ghastly missile went towards the arm of the target. Once it hit, the arm started to become rusted between the wrist and the elbow, until it suddenly fell down, completely and broke apart once it hit the floor.
“Mm… Taking this into consideration… The spell itself could probably create some kind of necrosis on the part of the target it hits. In a certain way, it’s like a missile that causes instant gangrene on a serious degree…”

[Congratulations! Your Magic Level increased by 1!]
“Mm? But I was just pondering a bit, and I’ve just used a few spells. System, why did it raise?”
[To answer my stupid host, Magic Level can be seen not only as your magical power level but also about your general comprehension of magic. With this said, you have a really low level of Magic Level, so the amount of test you’ve been doing until now, the meditation in a place like Hogwarts with a lot of magic surrounding it, and the fact that you’re trying to comprehend your death strike spell, which works with one of the more difficult to control and understand elements, all combined to let you increase one level. But don’t be excited, it was a mix of a lot of factors, so don’t expect it to happen each time you start to ponder about what your spell does. This time it was a coincidence.]
“Huh… Okay, thanks!”-I said. “Well, now my ML is 25, so that means…”-I point my wand forwards.
“Utevo Res Wolf”-I incanted, and suddenly part of my magic power flowed through my body towards my wand, and from it out towards where I was pointing my wand, looking like some kind of light filling the place and taking some shape.
*Awoooooo*
A sudden howl appeared once the shape of the light took the form of a wolf. Once the light dispersed, a wolf was actually present. A real grey wolf.
After that, I sat on the floor, slightly tired. It’s not that my magic power was completely exhausted, it was just that a weird feeling suddenly invaded me. It’s like my mind was connected with the wolf in front of me in some way.
“*sigh…*”-I sighed after a little while, finally calming myself from the shock of this new sensation. “Now I know why the game only lets you summon two creatures at once… It does put a burden in your mind…”
Utevo Res was a special spell, it’s called the Summoning Creature Spell, and as its names imply, you can summon creatures from the game to fight alongside you. Controlling them as if they’re an extension of your body.
This spell is of really easy and direct construction, it has the magic syllables ‘Ut’ which means support and is mainly used to incant support spells; ‘Evo’ which means ‘create’ and that’s mostly used to create powerful spells or to make things appear, and finally ‘Res’, that basically means ‘Creature’, which lets you do a few things, from summoning creatures to convince them to fight alongside you.
But this time, I used the summoning one, and right in front of me was a somewhat big grey wolf.
“Hey…”-I said to the wolf, which slowly comes close to me, making me flinch.
Funnily enough, once I flinched, the wolf did the same, which proved my theory that we were actually connected on a deep level.
{Come here and sit beside me.}-I thought while looking directly at it.
And just as I thought, it came towards me and sat beside me, looking at me. I slowly moved my hand up, reaching to caress him. And just as my hand was moving, it also moved its head toward me, as if it was a loyal dog wanting to be petted.
“Ha… Haha… HAHAHA… This is amazing!”-I said as I petted the wolf, who, by the way, had its tongue out and had a somewhat happy face, as if it was also excited with what was happening.
“Now. A summoned creature in Tibia is useful for one thing. And only one thing. Oh well, apart from scaring noobs. To hunt with you!”-I said, and as if understanding me, the wolf stood up and got serious. “Now, attack!”-I said while pointing towards a target.
The wolf immediately ran towards it and pounced on it, biting off the neck of the target, though, it couldn’t, but even then, it didn’t stop. It just went down and started attacking with everything it could, claws, more bites, more claws, it was a non-stopping barrage of attacks, until the pupped couldn’t hold out any more and fell down, and even then, the wolf was still breaking and biting everything it has at his reach.
“Stop, come here buddy!”-I said, and it stopped his furious barrage while running towards me, somewhat tired for what its tongue out and its fast breathing were telling me. “You did great!”-I said while rubbing its head that was almost at the level of my chest {Man, you’re big as fuck…}-I thought to myself.
“Now… For my next try… Why don’t we go with something a little bit more fantastical…”-I said while preparing to summon my next creature.
“Utevo Res Troll”-I said.
But nothing happened.
“Mm?”- While I was wondering why nothing happened, a system message appeared.
[Quick tutorial for idiots! While in Tibia you’re able to summon every possible summonable creature as a Sorcerer, here you’ll have to acquire the summoner vocation to summon anything other than normal animals, albeit a little stronger. You can also summon even stronger creatures than in the game with the correct advanced vocation.]
“Oh, come on!!!”-I shouted.
[Rules are rules. Deal with it.]
“*sigh…* Nothing I can do, I guess… Well, I at least can summon wolves and bears that should be enough for the moments. Heck, Voldemort had a boa with him… I’ll be better with two bears or wolves alongside me.”
With that said, I look towards the wolf, who’s still sitting with his tongue out.
“Well buddy, accompany me while I keep testing my spells and theories.”-I said with a smile while petting it.
*Wof, wof*-It answered in a really deep bark.

An alien from a civilization far more advanced than our own sends them back in time to AD 70 with all the supplies that could be found in the seed vault. Will they be able to change the timeline enough that humanity can survive the extinction event of 2057.Books 1,2, 3, 4 and 5 are now avalable on Kindle Unlimited, as the story is now at book 6 Book 1 has now been edited as of July 29, 2022. Book 2 Should be edited sometime in September. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08BWQ1CLG Please note this story does not whitewash history. The Empires of AD 70 did things that would be called ruthless by our times. Things that we would consider war crimes were considered honorable. Superstitions that would horrify us today were commonly practiced. Things like child marriage were not just practiced, but for much of the world was expected. If these things bother you, then you know how the main characters in this story will feel.
8 185The Awakened

He stopped being a sleeper and saw a glimpse of the true form of the world which opened his eyes to a new life altogether. ============================================================================================== This is my first fiction and i am loosely basing this on Mage:The Awakening rulebook. Naturally i am going to change things a bit but i don't intend to make this a novel where the main character goes around changing the whole world. It will be based on a normal guy discovering a new world while trying to find his place in it. Also please write comments warning me about things such as development speed or unrealistic relations.
