Chapter 46 Roy's Magic
adventure!
Roy was not at all surprised that he had acquired this special developmental ability.
Having lived in a safe and stable country in his previous life, he deeply yearned for heroic adventures, a kind of alternative version of "longing".

……
"Upgrade and development options complete." Goddess Astraea casually locked Roy's ability values, and the sacred text on his back disappeared.
The gods almost never refuse requests from their relatives. For example, they will offer different opinions to parents who want their children to be independent, allowing the other party to make their own choice.
Watching children in the mortal realm experience wonderful lives is one of the joys of most gods.
Roy saw his new ability panel, the words LV.2 shining brightly in gold. He clenched his fists, his face flushed, "Power is surging forth..."
"Pfft!"
Seeing this, Goddess Astraea laughed and revealed a gentle, maternal smile. "Don't play for too long. I'll go out and prepare dinner first."
Roy smiled. Upgrading to LV.2 didn't bring the explosive power he had imagined. It was just average. Improving ability values and leveling up don't instantly increase strength; it takes time for the body to adapt.
Gazing at that stunningly beautiful figure, Roy felt a sense of disorientation. The allure of a goddess was indeed terrifying, even if she wasn't a goddess of beauty like Freya.
Once the feeling of a heart attack subsided, Roy turned his attention to something else.
The silver treasure chest obtained!
Roy clicked "Open Treasure Chest" on the panel.
[The Silver Treasure Chest has been opened. Congratulations on obtaining three bottles of Panacea (Advanced), a Strength Enhancement Potion (Advanced), a Magic Tome, and Steel Gauntlets (Epic).]
Name: Strength Enhancement Potion
Quality: High

……

Effect: This work can only be written by those who have developed the rare abilities of "Magic" and "Mysticism" to their limits. Reading it can forcibly awaken magic!
……
Name: Steel Armguards
Quality: Epic
Attribute: Can withstand all attacks from adventurers and monsters with all stats below D-rank and LV.4, but its defensive capabilities decrease as its durability decreases.
Special Effect (Guardian): Triggers a magic shield, providing all-around protection. Each activation reduces durability by 10%.
Durability: 99%
……
Roy's eyes lit up. Needless to say, the Panacea cost 500,000 Fali each if purchased from the Dean Clan!
Power potion, steel arm guards, and most importantly, a magic book that can forcibly awaken magic!
Roy's gaze seemed to be drawn in.
magic!
The power that causes supernatural phenomena is immense and is often used as a trump card by adventurers.
Roy had seen Ryu's Wind of Light several times; once unleashed, it almost instantly killed the opponent.
Magic is also divided into innate magic and acquired magic inspired by divine grace.
Innate magic involves racial lineage and personal potential. Magical races can only learn it through their own potential and cultivation, such as elves and fairies.
Acquired magic relates to one's interest in and identification with things, and is inspired by divine grace.
By God's grace, each person can possess a maximum of three spells, but the awakening of magic is a rare and precious thing, and most people never learn magic in their lifetime.
By reading a grimoire, one can forcibly awaken and learn magic. Even Roy couldn't help but show excitement the moment he opened the grimoire.
The value of grimoires is extremely high, and they are usually only seen at auctions. They start at 100 million falies and have no upper limit. Even Roy cannot afford them, and they are useless if he buys them before receiving the favor.
Things are different now!
This means he's about to awaken his magic!
Roy retrieved the grimoire from the system.
It was an old-fashioned book, about three fingers thick, and looked quite ordinary on the surface.
Roy took a deep breath, slowly opened the grimoire, and stared intently at its contents. It was neither the common language nor the script used by various races, nor the sacred script of the gods.
The characters, resembling tadpoles or scribbles, were completely incomprehensible to Roy. The more he looked at them, the dizzier he became, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
As if he had eaten a poisonous mushroom, bizarre and colorful images appeared before Roy, his vision narrowed, and his reflection appeared in the glass.
If he were of sound mind, he would definitely complain.
Holy crap, it's ice cold!
"What kind of magic do you want?"
The elusive figure, like a ghost, drifted past Roy, posing a soul-searching question to him.
Without a second thought, following the deepest desire of his heart, Roy murmured, "Destructive power to destroy everything, and the fastest speed in the world!"
"Truly brutal, combining speed and destructive power, only the thunder of nature can satisfy your needs," the boy who looked exactly like Roy laughed.
"And then? Is that all?"
"We can fight together, and we'll never betray each other!"
"Do you want companions?"
"Calling it a weapon might be more appropriate."
"I understand. There's always something in this world that no one can solve alone. You want a weapon that won't betray you, one with the destructive power and speed of thunder—that's too greedy. Can your ambition control that power? It's a double-edged sword!"
"Take it, this is your magic!"
The echo lingered in Roy's ears for a long time.
In a daze, Roy smelled a pleasant fragrance that refreshed his mind and made his tired spirit feel incredibly comfortable. He twitched his nose and greedily inhaled the fragrance as he slowly opened his eyes.
He met a pair of sky-blue eyes.
"Peeping at me while I sleep, Miss Ryu, when did you develop this kind of fetish?" Roy, as always, couldn't help but tease the elven girl.
But Ryu's reaction was different from usual; her voice was like a cold, biting wind on a winter night. "What are you doing in Lady Astrea's bed?"
Roy snapped out of his daze, his pupils widening in shock. He sat up abruptly. He remembered that he had been reading a magic book. Had he successfully awakened his magic?
Reading a magic book doesn't guarantee the awakening of magic; failure is also possible. Here, we must mention a certain fox-girl who consumed all of Fels's magic book, which was worth billions, but still failed to awaken a third spell.
[Magic has awakened!]
[The Lord of Thunder, without incantations, freely manipulates thunder, changing its form. The power of lightning is determined by the amount of mental energy provided, and it can also self-destruct. Manipulating lightning consumes additional mental energy!]
