In this world, there exists something called Magicules. They're not just ordinary energy—Magicules are the fundamental building blocks of everything that exists, shaping the very fabric of reality. Think of them like "Mana" or "MP" in games, but way more than just points. Magicules are actual "Magic Power"—a real, tangible force that governs everything.
What makes Magicules so extraordinary is that they're unlike any form of energy we know—completely different from conventional physics. They have the power to influence the physical world and phenomena through what's called causal effects. In other words, they can cause real, tangible changes by directing their energy. Spirits and spiritual entities—beings made entirely of Magicules—are immune to normal physical attacks because they're not made of matter in the traditional sense. To truly harm them, you need magical attacks, Skills, Arts, or weapons capable of affecting non-physical matter.
If I had to compare, Magicules are like "Magic Power"—but not just some points to spend; they are the core force that fuels and manipulates reality itself.
What's even more mind-boggling is that the laws of physics—things like energy conservation and thermodynamics—are often violated or bent by Magicules. They can produce physical phenomena, create fire or water, and even manipulate molecules simply by channeling their energy through Manipulation Skills—such as Water Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, or Molecular Manipulation. By directing Magicules, they interact with matter to generate the effects they desire.
However, don't forget—this world is full of secrets. There are abilities so fundamentally deviant that they go beyond what we've explained that is Unique Skills and Ultimate Skills with powers that defy all understanding. But at its core, Magicules are the foundation of everything—the essence that forms reality, life, and the universe itself.
Remember this: in this world, true power isn't just brute strength or skills alone. The real force that shapes everything is Magicules—the invisible, yet tangible energy that underpins the entire universe.
There's still quite a long time, my main priority right now is to gather magicule energy and hone every aspect of my strength — I muttered to myself.
Even though the amount of magicule energy doesn't affect my actual strength, I don't want to lose a fight because of a lack of magicule energy—I said, then closed my eyes.
To increase my hunting efficiency, I should find a new doll to help me find prey.
There are quite a number of creatures that can be used as pawns for someone with my current energy magical capacity —I thought.
"Let's start"— closing my eyes
first spread my magicule energy, then scan every detail that enters my perception.
As expected from the rarely explored ocean, there are too many creatures with magical capacities equivalent to monsters above C class.
Let's find a being weaker than me first, but not too weak, filter information from existences that are too strong for me right now. It's not too embarrassing to be careful not to fall over later—with a bitter laugh
