The greatest archmage from the beginning
The year is 2030. A new era has begun. Five global tech giants have united to launch Avarice Online—the most perfect virtual world ever created. Its systems are brutal and realistic. Here, the law of the jungle reigns supreme. Iron, blood, and muscle are everything. There are no fire-breathing dragons, and certainly... no magic.
Kaindra Hugo, an eSports legend who has chosen early retirement, entered this world not to seek glory. As a Pure Physics student tired of piling up assignments, his goal was simple: Healing. He didn't want to swing a sword. He simply wanted to sit quietly, enjoying a simulation of nature that supposedly mimics the laws of real-world physics with 100% precision.
However, his old academic habits persisted.
While millions of players were busy slaying monsters, Hugo sat quietly in the middle of a meadow, observing "Nothingness." He wrote in his beginner's notebook, not about war strategies, but formulas. He calculated when the wind stopped, where the energy went when the air was still, and predicted the exact moment when the wind would pick up again.
To him, it was just a random scribble about physics. But to the AI "Ava," who oversaw the world, it was a shock.
The system detected that Hugo had grasped the fundamental concept of energy—something called "Mana"—not through a tutorial, but through pure scientific deduction.
[Unique Achievement Unlocked!] [Title: Mana Theorist] [You have grasped the concept of "Nothingness."] [Class Change: Novice Mage]
In the next instant, the sky over the world of Avarice changed color. A golden announcement appeared before billions of players:
"A Pioneer has cracked the code of the universe. The class [MAGE] has now been added to the world."
Hugo stared at the notification with a pale face. He had only intended to heal while working on a physics problem, but why had he accidentally become the Father of World Magic?
This is the story of the Archmage who started everything from a small note about wind.
