《Rise My Elementals! 》Chapter 94: The villa's library
Advertisement
After eating his breakfast, Leo slowly went upstairs to the library on the 3rd floor.
Leo had always been thinking of learning a few Magic spells after he saw Cassandra and the other girls casting those convenient Magic spells to cater what their needs in every situation. To be honest, he really envied them for learning those Magic spells.
So, Leo thought of not completing any missions for today and would instead learn a few Magic spells.
Fortunately, due to Veronica's reconstruction of the villa, the library on the 3rd floor now has a lot of books related to magic compare to before. Hence, Leo could now learn Magic spells till his heart is content.
In the past, Leo would have never been able to easily learn Magic spells as easy as this, since he needed to buy Magic spell books in order for him to learn Magic spells. He was even thinking of saving money in order for him to buy one back at that time. However, because of an unexpected encounter with Cassandra, which then lead him to get acquitted with Madam Silva afterwards, he could now learn Magic spells without spending any money.
Such a fortunate thing was really a heaven's gift for Leo. Not only will he be able to learn Magic spells easily now, but he could also use the 10,000 gold coins that he had only used a bit of for the Heart city's development.
Soon, Leo arrived at the 3rd-floor library. He hasn't yet been in this place even once, although it was in his house. There was actually a time he did, but he had only taken a glimpse around the place. That was when he was going to the hot spring and yesterday when he went to the 4th floor. So, now that he could carefully look around, he can't help but become astonished.
The library was much bigger than the study room at Sword and Magic, yet the books around were comparable to the latter, and possibly even more important books than those found in the study room at Sword and Magic. Moreover, unlike the mini library in his manor at Heart city, most of the books in here are almost all related to Magic, too.

Books teaching about Magic spells related to the Celestial World's Element Mana. Specifically, thousands of books explaining 5 common Elements; Fire, Water, Nature, Earth, and Wind. Hundreds of books related to 5 uncommon Elements; Magma, Ice, Light, Darkness, and Poison. Dozens of books related to 3 rare Elements; Life (heal), Death (undead), and Lightning (thunder). A few books vaguely discussing 2 legendary Elements; Space and Time. And lastly, there were some books that introduce about what are the Forbidden Elements. Actually, there were still a lot of Elements in the Celestial World, but the books found in the library only have a few of them. Maybe those other Elements could only be found at Mage Academies.
There were also books about the different usage of Magic, such as farming, alchemy, crafting, construction, smithing, forming arrays, illusions, support, combat, defense, summoning, taming, and many more...
Books discussing some important things related to the properties of Mana, types of Magic circles, the formation of Magic circles, and the likes...
Books that explain about Magical Knights, Magical beasts, Stars in the consciousness of the Mages, and etc...
Books about how to survive in the different levels of wilderness; Green, Dark Green, Red, Violet, Black. Books about the different Weapons, Equipment, Supporting tools, and the likes... Books about different Resources such as the kind of important plants, ores, and bones of the powerful Magical Beast.
There were also books discussing the different powers of the Human Kingdoms and Empires and the nearby foreign races Kingdoms and Empires. Books about the other Races living in the Celestial World. Books about the battlefield of the War of Races.
And countless more books that Leo doesn't know about.
To be honest, there were just too many books inside the library. So, Leo could only describe the books he was familiar with. Moreover, there were also countless unimportant books around, hence differentiating all the books would just take him too much time.
After walking around for a bit, Leo finally stopped in the part of the library where the Magic spells were located at. Afterall, his aim in the library was to learn magic spells.

Arriving in the area, Leo immediately started looking for those supporting spells. Those spells were really convenient, like the short distance blink and the gravity spell that the 4 girls had cast during their previous mission. Those types of spells could surely help him in almost all of the situation.
"Assault Magic spells... Defense Magic spells... Bingo! Support Magic spells!" Leo quickly started looking for the Magic spells that would be able to help him in every situation.
"Short distance blink!"
"Gravity Adjustment!"
"Ohhh, Wall Walk! This would really help me!"
"What's this?! Heck, such a Support Magic spell like this Mana Cloak would really be a huge help for me! If I had such a Magic spell when I was trapping those 5 people in the Yellow Forest before, escaping would have been a piece of cake for me since I'm able to hide my presence from that Magical Knight!"
"Wow, a Magic spell for stealing, hahahaha! So this is one of the reasons why some Mages had decided to become thieves or bandits! With a Magic spell capable of stealing easily, even I would be tempted to become a thief or a bandit..."
"Object Weight Adjustment... Allows the user to change the weight of any object it had cast the Magic spell on. Heck, this is what they should call as really convenient! With this, carrying heavy stuff wouldn't be a problem for me anymore!"
Leo continued gathering more books that will be able to support him, such as Speed increase, Strength increase, Precision increase, Speed in gathering Mana increase, and a lot more.
There were just too many Support Magic spells around the library.
However, Leo wasn't a fool to learn everything. No matter how convenient or useful a Support Magic spell was, he couldn't just learned it all in advance, especially like those Magic spells related to Flight, Breathing Underwater, and the likes types of Magic spells...
Those types of Support Magic spells weren't useful to him yet, especially since he wasn't even planning in going to places that needed such Magic spells, too.
There was something important that every mage needed to understand before casting Support Magic spells. They need to always keep in their minds that casting such Magic spells needed them to constantly supply Pure Mana as long as the Magic spell was activated. Yes, only Pure Mana, no need for any Element Mana.
Pure Mana is enough for these Support Magic spells since there was no need for any use of Elements in casting such type of Magic spells. Such as the Short Distance Blink spell. The spell may sound like a Space Element spell, but actually, the trick was only speed. Casting a Short Distance Blink spell would allow the Mage to move really fast in a single second, hence making them travel a short distance in a blink of an eye. Gravity spell might also sound like a Space Element spell, but actually, it was as simple as the Pure Mana making their body feel heavy, hence causing the Mages to stay in balance.
So, casting Magic spells like Flight would just be too much for Leo at this moment since his Mana capacity wasn't that much yet. Simply put, his Mana capacity wasn't enough to allow him to fly continuously. And if he needed to reach higher places, there was a Short Levitation spell around. Not only would it allow him to reach a higher place, but it also only needed a little bit of Pure Mana to cast.
In conclusion, Leo only needed to gather Magic spells that were important for him at this moment.
After taking out the Support Magic spells he needed, Leo soon after sat down on a chair before carefully putting the books on the table as he then finally started learning about Magic spells.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)
