204 Effects From Training

[[Nameless Meditation Technique: A mana training technique created by the arch sorcerer when they reached the demi-god power level and then pondered a method to make better use of the supernatural energy, mana. After spending many years, they were finally able to devise this unique meditation technique that held all their knowledge on their path of sorcery]]

[Notice: This nameless meditation technique is a special technique from the sorcery profession, unlike the normal meditation techniques of its kind, as practicing with this technique can not only train the mental energy and mana but also train the soul energy when fully mastered. It is highly advised that the host should begin practicing with this meditation technique since you have already created your mana seed]

‘What? Mana seed?’

Randy recalled that when he awakened, his system mentioned that it had created an energy vessel to store his chaotic energies. One of the vessels created was the mana seed, and it was a very different energy-storing vessel, unlike the typical energy-storing mana cores he had learned about in the academy.

‘Judging from how the system stated it, it seemed like to practice this meditation technique, one would need to have ‘mana seed’ and not mana core or other forms of body energy storage.’

Randy decided to ask in confirmation: “System, what if I did not have mana seed? Would I still be able to practice this meditation technique?”

[[Not possible. However, the host could choose to create his very own mana seed according to the knowledge received if that had been the case]]

The system refuted and explained to him.

‘Knowledge received? Does that mean that the knowledge I received just now had the method to create a mana seed?’

.....

With that thought in mind, Randy closed his eyes and looked through all the knowledge within his mind, which took him almost all night to finish going through everything. Thus, he could not sleep despite being mentally tired from staying in the dungeon for a long time.

...

As Randy recalled this, he still had a pondering expression on his face.

‘According to what I learned from the knowledge from that first seal, mana seed was a growth-type energy-storing vessel that could store more mana than ordinary magician’s storing vessels. And based on how that arch sorcerer mentioned magician in the introduction, it seemed like the arch sorcerer was aware of magicians or perhaps they existed in their world too. Which would further prove that sorcerers are indeed essentially just magicians with advanced methods when it comes to using magic.’

Afterward, Randy wondered if he should train his mana now that he had a method to increase his total magical energy, unlike before where he could only use his physique’s ability to devour energy to increase his total magical energy.

Last night, he opted out of training his mana because, first, he was tired, and second, since it was not a good idea to practice in a place with less mana density according to what he learned from the knowledge in his mind.

Furthermore, it was not safe to practice in a place with a lot of distractions in the surrounding. After all, any distraction during his practice would be detrimental and could even cost him his life since the nameless meditation technique seemed to be a very delicate technique with specific requirements.

Thus, Randy decided to wait until he was alone or in a place where only a few people were nearby, preferably in a location that had more mana density. Thus, he would not be distracted, and his practice progress would be smooth as well.

That was because his room in the society’s building did not have much mana accumulated inside, not to mention people were living there beside him.

There was only one place that met such a requirement that he could think of now, but he was not sure if it was possible to use that place.

After reaching his destination, which was near a village that was close to the Meistic forest. This village was situated east of the village, in which Klara and the old man resided.

Randy decided to hunt some weak magical beasts at the periphery for a while, and he was able to harvest some divine points and knowledge points.

[[You have killed three armored snakes, thus obtaining 300 knowledge points]]

[[You have harvested 500 divine points from these magical beasts]]

Although the amount he got from hunting them was not that much.

But Randy was able to confirm something else with this hunt.

And that was that the challenger’s system did not display any notification despite him killing three magical beasts just now, meaning that he could not level up from killing the creatures outside of the dungeon.

‘Does that mean that I can only hunt in the dungeon if I want to level up...? Then again, I don’t think I can increase my level by much in the dungeon of beasts from now on, considering that it took me a few runs to increase my level by one when I reach level 50...’ Randy pondered.

‘Also, there’s not that many magical beasts here. After hunting these snakes, it seemed like that was all of them. Should I wait here until they come out, or should I venture into the forest to hunt them...?’ Randy pondered further when he realized that there was nothing to do now that he had taken care of the only magical beasts within the vicinity.

The next moment, as Randy recalled how he spent a few days inside the dungeon and only a few hours had gone by outside, a sudden idea popped up in his mind.

Without hesitation, he asked the challenger’s system: “Challenger’s system, last time, you said I have the privilege to enter the dungeons that I have conquered from anywhere, right?”

[Affirmative]

“Alright. Then I would like to enter it right now. But before that, is it possible to enter the safe room directly rather than the actual dungeon itself?”

[That is indeed possible. However, to leave the dungeon, you would have to clear the dungeon at least once]

“That’s alright. Transport me now.”

[Transmission would begin in:]

Fwhoosh!

Randy, who was inside the forest instantly disappeared from his position, and the next thing he knew, he reappeared inside a white room with no one else but him inside. He looked around to observe that it was indeed the right place.

Afterward, he went to the corner of the white room and proceeded to sit on the floor in a comfortable position.

After taking a few deep breaths and letting out his breaths a few times in a rhythmic manner, Randy’s eyes glowed in delight as he was able to confirm his doubts just now.

‘As I thought, this place is full of pure mana, almost like this entire room was built out of crystallized mana. I guess that is why this place promotes healing and soothing once inside it.’

“Alright, I should begin practicing in this place since there’s no one around in here to distract me.” Randy muttered and closed his eyes once again.

A few moments later, Randy followed the instruction within the nameless meditation technique and released his mental energy outward, then used it to guide the surrounding mana into his body.

The first thing that he needed to do was control and allow the mana particles within the room to permeate every fiber of his body. That included his muscles, bones, and organs. The reason for this was to allow his body to get used to mana, thereby increasing his body affinity mana.

With that in mind, Randy carefully guided the particles of mana within the safe room to pervade into his body one by one, and each time, he could feel a warm sensation in his body.

A few moments later, Randy had succeeded in gathering numerous mana particles into his entire body. In response, the surface of his skin was shining with the glittering mana particles that slowly absorbed into his body and then guided into his muscles, bones, and organs afterward.

At this moment, the system notified him of the various changes in his body, as lines of text appeared in his head.

[[You have succeeded in absorbing mana particles in your body, thus increasing your body’s affinity toward the supernatural energy, mana]]

[[From now on, as you absorb more mana particles into your body, your body’s affinity and natural sense toward any form of energy deriving from mana would gradually improve]]

“Phew...”

Randy let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes as he observed the changes to his body. Right now, he could not see any visible changes outside of his body, but he could tell that mana circulation had improved from this single meditation alone.

These changes in his body were completely unlike his previous state, where he barely knew how to circulate his mana throughout his body.

Although Randy managed to use the Frost Hand spell technique that he comprehended from his mother’s grimoire, he still did not fully grasp the spell technique because he did not truly know about mana circulation.
