The Genius Mage Was Reincarnated Into A Swordsman Family

Klaus lowered his gaze to examine his transformed body, and what he saw defied every previous understanding of physical perfection. His form appeared as if master sculptors had spent centuries crafting the ideal representation of human potential, then breathed life into their ultimate creation.

His chest rose and fell with breathing that seemed to move air itself in patterns more harmonious than before. Each muscle group was defined with mathematical precision—not the bulging exaggeration of someone who had pursued strength for its own sake, but the elegant proportion of form that had achieved perfect balance between power and grace. His shoulders possessed width that spoke to capability without appearing overly broad, while his arms showed definition that suggested strength capable of reshaping reality yet remained aesthetically pleasing rather than intimidating.

His abdomen displayed musculature that resembled carved marble, each line and curve contributing to overall composition that transcended mere physical fitness. The transformation had eliminated every trace of imperfection while maintaining proportions that appeared completely natural, as if this had always been his intended form rather than result of supernatural metamorphosis.

Klaus's reflection caught his attention in a nearby window. His white hair had grown longer during the transformation, now cascading past his shoulders in waves that seemed to catch and reflect light with properties that defied normal understanding of how hair should behave. The strands moved with fluid grace that suggested they were woven from crystallized moonlight rather than ordinary keratin.

His crystalline blue eyes had become even more striking, if such a thing were possible. They held depths that seemed to contain entire galaxies, reflecting light in patterns that created impression of infinite space compressed into human features. When he blinked, the motion carried elegance that made even this simple action appear deliberate and meaningful.

Klaus flexed his fingers experimentally, watching tendons move beneath skin that possessed luminous quality suggesting health that transcended normal biological parameters. Every movement flowed with precision that eliminated the subtle clumsiness that plagued even the most coordinated individuals—his body had become perfect instrument for consciousness to express itself through physical reality.

Testing his new form's capabilities, Klaus threw several light punches toward empty air. The movements generated displacement that created visible distortions in the atmosphere, as if reality itself struggled to accommodate motion that operated according to principles exceeding normal physics. Each punch felt effortless yet contained potential that could have shattered mountains if directed with sufficient intent.

The control was extraordinary. Klaus recognized that his physical power had become directly proportional to the intention he infused into each action. He could touch a mountain with force capable of reducing it to dust, yet brush against a flower with such gentleness that not a single petal would be disturbed. The distinction lay not in muscular control but in consciousness-directed manifestation of will through physical form.

Klaus made his way back into the Eastern Tower to find suitable clothing for testing his enhanced capabilities. His previous garments no longer fit properly—not because his dimensions had changed dramatically, but because his proportions had been refined to degree that required adjustment in how fabric hung on his perfected frame.

He selected simple training clothes from his wardrobe, garments designed for mobility rather than formality. Yet when Klaus put them on, the plain clothing transformed into something that appeared almost regal. The fabric draped across his form with elegance that suggested custom tailoring by master craftsmen, creating silhouette that commanded attention without appearing ostentatious.

The effect wasn't vanity but consequence of achieving physical perfection that enhanced everything it touched. His transformed body served as ideal canvas that made even mundane clothing appear magnificent, creating presence that transcended mere aesthetics to suggest authority that operated on fundamental levels of existence.

Klaus stepped outside to find Dudu watching him with approval that suggested the Night Dragon recognized the significance of his transformation. The creature's eyes held wisdom that transcended normal animal intelligence, creating sense of shared understanding between beings who had both achieved states that exceeded conventional limitations.

Without hesitation, Klaus launched himself skyward with controlled burst of energy that sent him rocketing through atmosphere at speeds that turned landscape below into blur of colors and shapes. The acceleration was smooth and controlled despite velocities that should have been impossible for individual consciousness to achieve through will alone.

Klaus tore through sky like living meteor, creating sonic disruptions that rolled across countryside in waves of displaced air. He pushed himself faster, testing limits that seemed to expand infinitely before his enhanced capabilities. The sensation of flight had become as natural as walking, yet infinitely more exhilarating due to freedom it represented from normal physical constraints.

He traveled hundreds of kilometers in mere minutes, leaving the capital far behind as he sought location suitable for testing capabilities that might prove destructive if employed near populated areas. The landscape beneath him shifted from cultivated farmland to wilderness that showed no signs of human habitation.

Klaus finally descended in region that met his requirements perfectly—vast plain dominated by ancient mountain range that stretched toward horizon with peaks that reached toward cloud-covered heights. The area appeared completely uninhabited, providing ideal testing ground for experiments that might reshape local geography.

Klaus settled onto rocky outcropping that provided clear view of mountain that rose majestically several kilometers away. The peak appeared solid and imposing, composed of stone that had weathered millennia of natural forces without showing significant erosion. It would serve perfectly as target for his first serious test of enhanced physical capabilities.

Klaus studied the distant mountain while considering approach that would provide accurate assessment of his capabilities without creating destruction that might affect areas beyond his intended target. His enhanced perception allowed him to analyze rock composition, structural weak points, and optimal angle of attack with precision that exceeded what normal sight could provide.

Rather than employing arcane energy or magical enhancement, Klaus decided to test pure physical capability operating through consciousness-directed intention. He wanted to understand how his reconstructed body performed when relying solely on principles that governed matter and energy without supernatural augmentation.

Klaus drew back his right fist and focused his intention on precise point near the mountain's base where structural analysis suggested optimal impact would achieve maximum effect. The key wasn't force in conventional sense but clarity of purpose translated through physical action—consciousness expressed through matter with precision that eliminated distinction between thought and manifestation.

Klaus threw the punch across empty air, his fist traveling in direction of distant mountain with movement that appeared deceptively casual. Yet the moment his arm completed its extension, shockwave erupted from his position with force that compressed atmosphere into visible distortion racing toward target at speeds that defied normal projectile physics.

The invisible force crossed kilometers of intervening space in fraction of second, striking the mountain with impact that Klaus felt through ground beneath his feet despite enormous distance separating him from target. The effect was immediate and dramatic—entire peak simply disintegrated, transforming from solid rock into cloud of dust and debris that rose skyward like volcanic eruption.

Klaus watched the destruction with satisfaction that confirmed his understanding of enhanced capabilities. The mountain hadn't been destroyed through application of overwhelming force but through consciousness-directed intention that had convinced reality to cooperate with his desired outcome. His physical power operated according to principles that transcended normal cause and effect, achieving results through harmony with natural laws rather than violation of them.

More importantly, Klaus recognized that same punch could have been delivered to human target with result no more damaging than gentle caress. The difference lay entirely in intention rather than physical mechanics—his enhanced form responded to consciousness with directness that eliminated need for conscious control over force application.

Klaus spent next hour conducting various tests that confirmed scope of his transformation. He could move with speed that rendered him effectively invisible to normal perception, yet could also proceed with such delicacy that he left no trace of his passage. His strength could reshape landscapes, yet could handle materials so fragile they would disintegrate under breath of ordinary wind.

Every capability had achieved state that Klaus recognized as expression of Singularity Principle applied to physical manifestation. His body had become perfect instrument for consciousness to express itself through matter, eliminating barriers between intention and result that constrained normal existence.

Satisfied with preliminary testing of his enhanced physical capabilities, Klaus summoned his status window to examine other aspects of his transformation that demanded investigation. The display materialized with same stability it had shown since his statistics achieved unity, reflecting fundamental change in his relationship to systems designed for quantified assessment.

Klaus focused his attention on section that had always intrigued him yet remained largely unexplored: his unique abilities. Three designations appeared with clarity that suggested they represented core aspects of his enhanced state rather than simple magical techniques.

Unique Abilities: Red Zone (First Eye), Void Thinker (Second Eye), Arcane Flames

Klaus contemplated these abilities with enhanced understanding that came from achieving physical perfection through Singularity Principle. Red Zone and Void Thinker were clearly connected to Ten Eyes Mantra—abilities that had manifested when he achieved sufficient mastery of ancient consciousness expansion techniques.

The pattern was becoming clear. When Klaus had opened the fourth eye of Ten Eyes Mantra during his earlier development, he had managed to uncover the name of the first eye: Anubis. That discovery had unlocked Red Zone ability, though he had never fully explored its implications due to subsequent events that had consumed his attention.

Similarly, when he opened the fifth eye, he had uncovered the name of the second eye: Rekalia. That revelation had granted access to Void Thinker ability, yet again circumstances had prevented thorough investigation of its capabilities.

Klaus realized that each eye of Ten Eyes Mantra possessed unique identity and corresponding ability that became accessible once consciousness achieved sufficient understanding to perceive their true nature. The ancient technique wasn't simply method for consciousness expansion but systematic approach to unlocking capabilities that existed beyond normal human potential.

With his enhanced state providing clarity that had been absent during his earlier development, Klaus felt ready to properly explore abilities that had remained largely theoretical despite their obvious significance. Understanding Red Zone and Void Thinker might provide insights necessary for accessing sixth eye that had proven resistant to conventional advancement approaches.

Klaus stood on rocky outcropping surrounded by evidence of his enhanced physical capabilities, his perfect form radiating presence that made atmosphere itself seem more substantial. In distance, dust cloud from destroyed mountain continued rising toward sky, creating monument to power that operated according to principles exceeding normal understanding.

With anticipation that spoke to recognition that significant discoveries awaited, Klaus prepared to investigate abilities that connected him to ancient techniques developed by beings whose understanding of consciousness had transcended normal limitations.

"First, let's try Red Zone."
