NovelEnglish"Well, I guess this isn't half bad… it is much better than suddenly stop existing. Still, this situation is troublesome because it will eventually make me think that there is still a way."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDeath was different than Leon had imagined, he existed, but he couldn't do anything. That was kind of scary since he didn't know for how long that would last. Would his sanity keep him going for long? After surviving so many battles, Leon wanted to think of himself as someone mentally strong, even though he was quick to feel depressed. Still, there was so much one mind could withstand in the situation.
"I wonder if I'm experimenting this because I had too much mana. If that is the case, maybe I can find Ilyana and Tyrselle, but how? I can't feel anything. Besides, why would the mana I had in life interfere with things here when I can't feel it? I thought that I wouldn't have so many questions in my mind after death, but once again, I was dead wrong."
Leon laughed after thinking of that pun. He wasn't someone funny, so thoughts like that had to be treasured by him. Regardless, Leon tried to call Ilyana and Tyrselle, but even though he tried to raise his voice, his voice didn't change. He was only thinking, after all. He couldn't shout inside his mind.
"In the end, I can't do anything in this damn place until when?"
Leon began to think about what might happen in that void where he couldn't see, feel or hear anything. Based on his life experiences, he probably would continue to exist until he begins to forget about things. He couldn't use mana to relive those memories and keep his mind fresh. So, it was clear that something like that would happen. To make matters worse, he couldn't do anything about it, even though once he could.
"I can't let this happen… but what can I do? I had the power to create mana before, but that power was something that was borrowed from that monster. I can't use it here. Even if I could, it would strengthen that bastard even further."
Although he had many ideas, all of those were related to the use of mana. That was the price of using something like that for thousands of years. In the beginning, Leon somehow knew that it was a borrowed power. That was why he never got carried away. Despite forgetting about that, Leon never stopped training, but also never stopped being humble... now and then.
"The profession system won't help me here… since it is closely related to the use of mana. I had to create something similar… but without mana. Can I create another type of energy even in this realm?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeon couldn't feel anything in that state, so he wouldn't be able to put them into practice if he has some good ideas. He really was in a very troublesome situation. Leon couldn't even tell the directions in that situation, after all.
"The monster said that mana was something it came to him naturally after living for quite a while… maybe it was the same process that occurred to me before the first Reset. The problem is: Do I have the luxury to wait for a new idea and concept of energy come to me? I'm not smart, so this might take forever. Besides, that bastard is leaving this universe, and that puts me into a race against time."
As if creating a new type of energy wasn't difficult enough, Leon had to create one that could match mana in usefulness, and that could also grant him the strength to face the monster once more. In fact, he had to find a source of that energy in order to counter all the magical effects caused by the monster. Leon needed a powerful and useful energy that he would force the monster never to try to mess with him ever again.
"I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself here, but in fact, I really need to create a new type of energy while considering all that."
Easier said than done. Again, it was impossible to tell how much time has passed there, but Leon was quite sure that weeks have passed while he was thinking. At that point in time, Leon began to question if he wasn't already too late. Tyrselle and Ilyana were more talented at that kind of thing, yet, if he was still dead, it meant that they didn't find a way to revive themselves. In Leon's mind, if he managed to think that perhaps the only way to solve that predicament was to create a new type of energy, then it was clear that they would be able to come up with the same idea, or perhaps one even better.
Suddenly, Leon felt his existence getting smaller. It was a weird feeling, he felt that he had lost a piece of himself, but that wasn't something that should be possible. However, after a while, Leon noticed that something had changed. He had lost a piece of the memories that were related to his time in college. His predictions were correct; he would eventually forget about everything and become nothing since that was what people would become without their memories and feelings. Still, Leon didn't imagine that the process would be so direct. Leon had to do something before he becomes empty.
"Shit… this is bad. This is really bad…"
