Alex woke up from a very scary dream. All the dreams he had before were about events from his past. But this dream was different. He couldn't remember anything. Still, the hairs on his body stood up in fear. He started saying,
-->>So is everything created by me? No, how is that possible. It can't be anything but a bad dream.
Alex said sadly. His head was not working. He understood that Megha (Mira) agreeing to marry him and the sudden arrival of the tower, maybe everything was related to him. But how is it possible? Alex does not remember anything where he saw the genie of Aladdin's Cherak. And is it even possible? (It was not Aladdin's genie)

(As Alex)
I didn't think twice. Dreams are dreams. Even if they come true, there's nothing I can do. What's happened can't be changed. Instead, I focus on my new objective.
I have found a simple ring that is slowly making my life like a game. I don't know if it is because of my will or for some other reason. But if I want to know about these things, I won't be able to know in this situation. I have to become stronger. In the language of the game, I have to level up. Since my life is slowly becoming like a game that I am working on, I can have an accurate idea of what to do next. But that is still my idea.
I left all my worries behind and went to have breakfast. Now I have no problem going up and down the stairs. I can even run. My friend Chesley is a really good healer. I struggled a lot with my foot problem for a year. I have to thank him for helping me.

Alex still doesn't know that he can use aura energy. However, he was in a deep sleep when he was in Chesley's chamber. And the principal's chamber had the rest of his energy seal. Because of this, Alex believes that he can't use any energy other than mana energy. Maria and Almond didn't say anything about it. Even Alex's ring didn't tell him anything about it. But Alex's knowledge doesn't end there. He learned a lot from his mother. Alex believes that he can't use aura. But it doesn't mean that he can't use the same power as his father.
Almond is standing in the garden. His goal is to train Alex from today. Almond began to say,
-->>Alex, I will train you from today. It will not be an easy training at all. Starting from hand-to-hand fighting, I will teach you everything you need to know about weapons of your choice.
Almond said this while breaking the stress on his hands and feet. But Alex replied,
-->>But I can't use aura like you.
Even though Almond knows that Alex can use aura energy, he still keeps it a secret from his son. He began to say,
-->>Alex, there are many uses for the three energies. I will leave out the matter of life. Basically, today I will give you an explanation about aura and mana energy. Aura energy works in two ways. One is internal and the other is external. When a person uses aura energy on his body, it is called internal use. Conversely, if someone uses energy outside the body, it is called external use.
Almond gathered a little energy in his hand, placed it on the tip of a finger, and touched a branch as thick as a hand. With the slightest touch of his finger, the branch fell down perfectly flat. Alex was very surprised to see this. Almond began to say again,
-->>This is the internal use of aura energy. Through this, different parts of the body can be strengthened or made like a sharp sword. Then comes external use.
Almond placed his palm facing the sky. Now an energy ball began to form in his hand. The energy ball immediately merged into the air.
-->>This is the external use of energy. Through this, one can use energy outside his body in various ways. You can see this as a simple example.
Almond took a small thin branch of the tree in his hand. If you hold it too tightly, it will break. Almond applied his aura energy to the thin branch. And with it, he made a slice on another branch of the tree. This branch was much thicker than the previous one. But with a small slice of the thin branch, it was cut. Alex stared in surprise. He was very sorry. How great it would be if he could use his aura. Alex thought and let out a big sigh.
-->>This was just a use of aura. It's not like aura can only be used like this. Mana energy also has two uses. One is internal and the other is external.
Almond said this with a proud heart. Even though he knew Alex could use aura, he still didn't tell him. He wanted Alex to learn to use the two energies slowly. He continued,
-->>The body can be strengthened by mana through internal use of mana energy. However, it is not as strong as an aura user. Again, the use of various types of spells is the external use of mana energy.
Hearing Almond's words, Alex started asking questions,
-->>So I can fight like you by using energy on my body? (Alex)
Alex was very curious. Almond patted Alex's head and nodded in yes.
Alex's training began. At first, Alex thought everything was easy, but he had no idea where he was trying to go. When he was in the tower before, he was around twenty-six years old. His body was very developed and strong through two years of various training in the tower. But now he is no longer that identity. He is an eleven-year-old boy whose body is very weak. He has not yet reached the age of muscle growth.
Almond created a training routine for Alex every morning and afternoon. 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 one-arm push-ups, 100 runs around the house, etc. are now his daily routine. Although Alex was very bored after five days of this training, on the sixth day, when the ring projected itself in front of him, Alex became even more motivated. Almond gave Alex some tough training because he knew that what he was going to teach his son would never be possible with a normal body. So Alex had to strengthen his body.

(As Alex)
I was doing afternoon sit-ups. In the afternoon, Dad went to finish his mission. Mom went to the Hiller Tower to meet her friend Chesley. I was the only one at home. This daily training was bothering me a lot. But today I don't know why I am so motivated to train. Maybe the reason is because my life is like a game. A projection of the ring is floating in front of me. I was doing sit-ups by looking at it. I didn't know that my level would increase through training. I went from level seven to level ten in just five days of training. The night meditation training taught by Dad was probably a big reason for this. As soon as I reached level ten, the ring showed me a new projection, which is a different power of the ring. In the game I was working on, there was an option that could show all the powers of a player. How fast, how strong, how much life the player had, everything could be seen in one option. And it was called Status. My ring has slowly started working much like the game I was working on. I don't know if it's its own power or if it has something to do with my dream. The ring gave me skills, gave me levels. Now it has given me a status option. Since I've reached level ten and the status option has come to me, I can say without a doubt that my ring is working a lot like the NightMare game. The status option in front of me looks like this,
Name: Alex? (Heart's former name)
Work: Host of Midori
Level: 10
Stat__
Strength: 07
Vitality: 12
Agility: 08
Stamen: 05
Intelligence: 29
Luck: 10
According to the NightMare game, all stats represent different abilities.
Here, Strength is the amount of my energy. Vitality is the amount of life I have. Agility is the amount of my speed. Stamina is the amount of effort I can put in. Intelligence is the amount of my energy. Finally, Luck is the amount of my luck. Although all my stats are normal, my intelligence is much higher. If intelligence is high, not only is energy high, it also means that my memory power is also very good.
As far as I understand, my ring is not working exactly like the NightMare video game. Rather, only the programs I created in the game are becoming the ring's powers. Such as the level up system, status options, special ten missions, etc. These were programs I created. As far as I understand, no other program has unlocked the ring to this day. Even then, if I really want to prove that the ring is giving me its powers only through my program, then I have to step into level fifty. If my programs are really being used in my life, then I can be sure of that at level fifty.
I have gradually come to understand how my father's training is strengthening my body. As a result of doing 200 sit-ups in the morning and afternoon every day, my stamina, strength and agility have increased by 1. Which I have just finished. I started doing push-ups again. On the first day, I used to give up after doing 10. But now, after doing 20, I can do them with a two-minute rest. As a result of push-ups, my above three stats have also increased by 1. My problem is doing 100 one-handed push-ups, which I still cannot do. So I have gradually turned it off. I started running. I have to run 100 times. My stats did not change after training in the morning. However, after finishing the afternoon sit-ups, I realized that my stats only increased after finishing the morning and afternoon training. When I finished running, I noticed that my agility and stamina had only increased this time. Stamina increased by 1 and agility by 2.

Alex was not happy with his training at all. One problem with his weak body was his low stamina. He had to reach level fifty to increase his stamina. However, Alex realized that it was difficult to level up through training after reaching level ten. However, his life was slowly being made through his program. Alex's weak body was left on the grass. He began to see the clear clouds in the sky with his two eyes. He was thinking, "Was that dream really true? Was everything created through me?"
Alex doesn't remember much about the previous incident. Yes, the memory of getting drunk comes to his mind, but everything about that night is still fresh in his mind. He doesn't let it bother him anymore. Whatever has happened, he has to move forward now. If he wants to return to his world, he has to become strong very quickly. In other words, he has to raise his level. A smile appeared on Alex's face. He started to say,
-->>Since the ring is working as per my program, I don't have to worry anymore. I have chosen my path. It won't take long to reach my goal.

One week has passed. The academy is also open today. Everyone has to enter the academy today. There are a total of ten classes in the academy. These are each titled within the academy. The one whose class is bigger is respected within the academy compared to the smaller classes. So there is a lot of competition in the academy for classes.
Three teachers are appointed for each child each year. They have a lot of knowledge about their energy. This year, the teacher of the Mana department is Madam Diara, the teacher of the Aura department is Sir Azro, and the teacher of the Pran department is Madam Helen. Like every time, everyone is given a class title on the first day. Which determines everyone's rank within the academy. Education is given separately in each department. The classes of the Aura department are held outside in an open area. It is unknown where the classes of the Pran department are held. The Mana Energy class is held in the Mana room.
Every boy and girl in the Mana division has been given their class title. Of which only one has achieved the B class title. Everyone thought that maybe someone would get the A class title but surprisingly, the boy who was supposed to get it was taken away by people from the Empire. Of course, this did not reduce the profits of Mephas Academy.
-->>We have only one B class title this year. That is Duke's son Edward von Uexkull. Four have won C class titles. They are Duke's daughter Myra von Rispon, Duke's daughter Elin von Uexkull, Marcus' daughter Eba Varesvuo and Zeba Varesvuo.
Teacher Diara looked at all the children and said. The room is very beautifully made. In front is the teacher's chair and table. Behind it is a black board which is used for writing. In front of the teacher are benches for the children to sit. The height of the one in front is higher than the one in the back. This makes it easier for the people in the back to see. Everyone's seating has been determined according to their titles. Where first the children of the higher class will sit in the front and the children of the lower class will sit in the back. The teacher did not say the names of any of the classes D, E, F. Everyone has been given a badge. Which has to be worn on the chest. This makes it easy to identify everyone's class. The teacher, without saying anything else, started his lecture on energy,
-->>Mana is one of the three energies. To use it, we all need a mana core. Here, everyone has a core created at birth. Because without it, none of you would be able to use mana energy. Mana energy enters our body from the environment and is stored in the core. This stored mana can be used in two ways. One is internal use and external use. Internal use is possible only if you understand mana energy well. However, it is not necessary for external use. I will teach everyone the external use of mana. So everyone listen carefully to what I am going to say now.
Everyone's attention turned to the teacher. Seeing the entire room silent, Diara began to speak again,
-->>Energy can take many forms. However, among the three energies, mana energy is the easiest to transform. External use of mana basically refers to giving mana different forms. In simple terms, we call it a spell. Spells can generally be used in two ways. Can anyone tell me what those two uses are in this class?
Myra raised her hand at the teacher's question. She was sitting there, eagerly waiting for an answer.
-->>Yes, Myra von Respawn.
The teacher agreed to speak. Hearing that, Myra lowered her hand and stood up and began to speak.
-->>Spells have two uses. One with chanting and the other without chanting. Basically, high level mages can use spells without chanting.
The teacher stopped Myra and said,
-->>Yes, Myra is right. There are two uses of spells. One with chanting. And the other without chanting. Now the question is what is chanting?
The teacher looked at everyone one by one. But no one could answer. So the teacher began to say with a big smile,
-->>We who use mana cannot imagine the different forms of mana at first. Basically, spells make the power of imagination real. If we explain it as an example, it would be like this.
The teacher began to explain to the class. His explanation was basically like this. The basic spells of the four common attributes Fire, Water, Earth and Air are Fire Ball, Water Ball, Earth Ball and Air Ball. Whether a new or old mage, everyone has to mentally shape it correctly to use these common spells. If the shape is different, the spell will not work.
Chanting is mainly used to avoid this risk. There are different types of chanting for different attributes. By reading them, it is not necessary to form anything in the mind. Rather, if the amount of mana is correct, any quality spell can be used. However, to use that spell, you will definitely need more mana than the amount. However, high-level mages do not have any shortcomings, they can use many simple spells without chanting. However, the difficult spells are different.
All the boys and girls in the room were listening to the teacher very attentively. Everyone was given a five-page paper book. Where there are three to four spells, their uses, descriptions and chanting according to their attributes. The teacher introduced everyone to their spells. Thus ended the first day of teaching.
-->>Today I told everyone about general knowledge. But tomorrow everyone's spell chanting will be tested. So tomorrow you all will memorize the chanting in your handbook. I will explain the rest tomorrow.
The teacher came out of the room. Everyone left the class with a smile. Alex was sitting on the bench behind everyone. He was listening to the teacher very attentively. Although he learned a lot of things from his mother, he still learned some new things that would help him use spells. Like everyone else, he also has a book in his hand. Where everyone else has three to four spells in the book, Alex only has one. Maybe it is called the weakest attribute because it does not have many spells. Alex was still going out to read about one of his spells. There was not much attention around him. Then he bumped into someone. At first he did not notice. When he raised his eyes, he saw that it was the Duke's daughter Myra. Alex knows the rules of this place. Although the Duke's title will not work here. However, according to the academy's title, Myra is a C class and Alex is only an F class there. Thinking that the disrespect he showed to Myra would be very severe, he tried to back away from Myra. But Elin was standing behind her. Her eyes were as cold as her attribute. Alex was about to put it on her, but before he could, he said,
-->>Freeze।
As soon as she said this, Alex's entire body froze in ice. Only his head remained, which Elin did not freeze. Myra said with a worried expression,
-->>Elaine, that didn't work out. But we weren't taught to treat anyone like this.
-->>How should we treat a commoner who has no manners? How should we treat a nobleman? Do you notice that he is deliberately trying to get on our nerves? (Elaine)
-->>Don't be angry. I'm sure he was looking through the book like the rest. And besides, if we Nobels treat commoners like this, will they ever trust us?
Myra used her spell to melt the ice that had frozen all over Alex's body. She didn't say anything. She didn't let Alex say anything either. Myra and Elin were leaving. Alex just stared at Myra's smile as she left. He wanted to say sorry, but didn't get the chance. But suddenly he remembered his mission. Alex laughed a little.
-->>I don't think it will be easy to complete this mission. (Alex)
