FAIRY TAIL: GAMER PATH

Chapter 3: MP Bar Unlocked

~Silva POV~

"Ah…"

Taking the moment to collect myself as I seem to wake myself up rather a bit early in the morning seeing the sun is still out I gaze at the dimly night turning into day as I stretch my body out.

Feeling out of shape since I never thought I would have to do exercise again after so long from doing them…

I just want to be lazy and lay on my bed and call it a night but nooo…

Survival needs are a must at this moment. If not, then I die right here in this creepy cultist home.

Sigh…

I shook those thoughts away for the time being as I needed a place to stay after yesterday's events getting my thoughts and figuring out a way to unlock my MP since I can't exactly unlock it normally here because I don't have those Origins here.

I had the whole night to figure out how to unlock my MP first. What I need now is the strength to build a foundation and gather knowledge in the process.

Now then…

How the heck do I do it?

That's the question of how I should even go about it.

Not exactly well versed in the theme of magic and even trying it into reality but…

Well…

[THE GAMER] ability must have already known I would unlock it somehow. Think man think clearly without the usual mechanics of Gamer Body I need to experience all of this the hard way to grow stronger.

So think what perks I do have being transmigrated into a whole new world.

Now how would a guy like me use magic? The back track here is how would one describe the magic that should help me how to determine to unlock my own.

Wait…

Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way…

Trying to remember some bits and pieces of how the Gamer Han Jian actually unlocked his ability to use Mana or his MP bar exactly?

Think…

Oh!

From what I am remembering his actions opened his hand and concentrated his fingers on releasing the energy flowing out of his hand and by that point [THE GAMER] abilities helped locked into it.

Glancing at my hands I couldn't help but smirk at the idea since while the Help menu said that humans could learn magic by different means I just have to figure out the alternatives for myself to use magic.

At least it's not impossible for me to attempt these at least thanks to my biology for that matter and from what the Gamer ability said it's possible for ME to do it. All that I really need is how to proceed to make it work.

And who says that being a massive Anime Manga or Webtoon nerd doesn't have it's perks when it comes to survival in this day and age?

Ha!

I laugh at them!

Ahem…

Anyway returning to the subject at hand though.

Whew…

Releasing a breath out I began to do the exact same steps I have done as did Han did in the original Webtoons trying to release my energy by constantly releasing it from my hand to unlock my MP bar.

I'm releasing energy…

I'm releasing energy…

I'm releasing energy…

I'm releasing energy…

Hmm…

Maybe this isn't enough to activate it or unlock it…

Wait…

*Smack*

Smacking my hand like an idiot I forgot while Earthland may be a magic-filled place with the air having Ethernano that doesn't mean I can use it at the get-go and my logic behind it was flawed from the start.

The only reason why Han Jian was able to do it was because of Gaia's existence allowing people gifted like him to be able to wield magic, however…

My case isn't like that at all because there is no God like that to help me out here. So, I would need to do an alternative.

No…

Pausing a bit maybe my way of thinking is incorrect here since I'm trying to focus on my hand then what about my body instead then?

Long shot I know but it's not like I have anything concrete to work on here. Hell, who knows if this would even work but at the very least though I can say I tried this off the list if it doesn't work.

Maybe imagining my body as a whole like a functioning organ would work in order to allow the Mana or Ethernano in this case a type of supernatural energy that exists in the atmosphere and can be found basically everywhere.

When magic is being processed, a person's innate attitude will charge the mana particles to their specific 'element', which briefly manifests as a formless spell-form before taking the shape of the spell chosen.

When a person casts magic, they will experience brief physical and mental fatigue which results in sudden weakness if they are not used to expelling magic or if they are overcast beyond their capacity.

However, since Mana is practically everywhere here, I would assume safely that the Mana or the Ethernano in this case would fill in to substitute my fuel for my body acting like an Origin. At least coming to my magic issue…

Hmm…

Instead of imagining my body what about simply imagining my soul instead and letting it act like a portal through which mana/Ethernano passes from the inside of my body and out into my surroundings?

But in more basic terms a tap of MP or magic in this case.

Magic Power here is the life energy that dwells inside of a living being from birth which is synonymous with the soul, making it the opposite of mana, which is a magical energy that exists in the environment.

It varies from person to person in terms of quantity and size which represents the lifespan of an individual. Much like how an Origin is created for them to use.

The soul could also act as a vessel of sorts for storing mana/ethernano that flows through the soul from the environment, so having a large capacity is especially beneficial to those who can use magic.

In a sense maybe I would get from this explanation with my own logic. Using my Soul, I can have access to my Mana and use it to channel throughout the body.

By subconsciously using mana and letting it flow through their body, they imbue themselves with magic-like properties, such as enhanced speed, agility, reflexes, strength, and possibly healing.

Naturally, these boosts aren't as strong as I would hope but are nonetheless capable of allowing people to react to incoming blows with inhuman speed, delivering sword slashes with inhuman precision from awkward angles, jumping very high in the air, and dashing at almost lightning-fast reflexes.

At least I hope so anyway have to be optimistic here.

Which in some cases is similar to how Magic Power is used here in Fairy Tail can be here? At least it's not impossible for me to attempt these at least.

Smiling a bit as I glanced around the area a bit with a renewed vigor in my body, I talked to myself with hope in my voice, "Right. It's better than nothing hopefully and I do fit the criteria thinking of a way to do it right? The only way to know is to try multiple times to get it down. Not like I have much to do."

No time than the present to try right.

What do I have to lose right?

Now time to focus on my soul to see if I have it or not…

Getting to sit down crossways I began to focus the flow of my mana.

….

Ok, then Silva try visualizing the flow of mana within me acting according to my will…

…

Hot…

This is new…

I…

I… sense a burning sensation through…

Is this my soul allowing the Ethernano/Mana to pass through… it hurts?

No.

Keep focus…

Now… channel the mana…

The soul that acts as a portal… no.

A gate… imagine it.

A gate within the center of my body….

Then the burning hot sensation of my mana circulating my body…

Don't let it go over bored.

Keep a nice steady of my Gate like don't let the heat overflow...

If I do I feel like I would be in more incredible pain.

But in short terms though… go Boom, boom.

Focus is key.

Burning.

That's what it feels like going through my whole body.

Burning sensation traveling through my very core… Hot.

Just have to maintain this for the time being despite the pain.

Doing this will give me an edge even if I can cast one incantation spell. I'll do more in the future but for now, this is my only path with nothing on me to go on.

I will not die here that easily not without a way to defend or fight back.

Now just focus and do it.

And what came next is great news as I saw the notifications pop up.

I couldn't help but smile at this with pride on my face seeing it happen.

[Through specific continuous use of channeling Mana from you're Gate into your body using the Ethernano from the atmosphere you have unlocked the MP Bar!]

Bingo.

Now this is what I'm talking about now.

[Ding!]

[Due to unlocking your MP through your Gate channeling the Mana (Ethernano) in the air a skill has been created to manipulate it!]

[Skill: has been learned!]

Perfect!

But I can't lose focus just yet as I need to hone this skill of mine first before anything else. Practice is key. Now I just got to keep on training to get better use out of my mana coursing through my body.

/////

"Whew…"

Feeling the sense of relief fall over me as I had my Mana flow over my whole body was certainly something to behold.

Especially since I didn't think it would work but thank god that it did as I began to see my new skills at work but is draining at times.

But if I didn't, I wouldn't get this kick-ass skill in the process.

-----

(Active) Lv.3/100 Exp: 21%

MP Cost: Varies

Description: Magical entities are able to control mana. They can harness this type of energy from not only their own selves but also the ambiance, since everything that exists possesses vitality, as aforesaid. Rare users can create new mana from nothing. Allowing the user to manipulate their own mana, lets the user gain better control of their mana, allowing them to use it for whatever purpose they need, once skilled enough to manipulate.

Nice.

These skills could really prove to come in handy in a fight especially against future enemies despite how weak I am it's best to get some weapons to rely on if the going gets tough.

Still cost me a lot of MP to simply use but it has been very helpful in training my body as well as gaining some closure me being able to use Mana in Fairy Tail without any Origins which is a welcome to me.

Now using it in combat would be the hard part.

Breathing in and out I began to rest up letting my MP be restored now that I realized that I'm probably still weak in the grand scheme of things but first I would need some time to collect myself on what to do now that I have my MP unlocked.

I have the time and resources to last me a while before I run out. I also need a place to practice in private without getting anyone's attention.

It's Gorod time.

Sigh…

I'm really going to miss some Vanoss videos as well as other famous YouTubers bless thy Blood God for the true king Techno Blade.

Very sad times it is.

But for now, I need to move on and focus on my own survival better get to work then.

After all, practice is what makes it perfect for someone like me since I can't gain strength the normal way then getting perfect control of my own skills would just be as important for me in the long run.

Everything takes its time for how long I don't know but at the very least I can be damn sure to try and surpass the people in this world and enjoy my life here to the fullest.

Till then it's time for the grind.
