The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

*** Juliette Silver ***

It has been three days my beloved has left me here all alone, all by myself, with not even a piece of him. I feel like I have been abandoned once again.

In simple terms, I am bored.

Bored out of my mind.

Everyday, I just wake up to go and study mystic magic under the guide of Mr Pixie. Yes, the experience is fun, and I have learned the basic foundation of Mystic Magic.

Problem is, the process is strange and long. Sometimes I do the cleaning, the washing, the babysitting, and other chores around here.

Then sometimes I sing.

Sometimes I dance.

Sometimes I even do nothing.

"..."

Well, the thing is, I did get to learn the [Mystic Magic] Unique Ability, and now am in the process of learning sub skills as First and Second grade Spells.

So far, I've formed the following Mystic Arts; [Spell Creation], [Rune Casting], [Symbol Inscription], [Magic Manipulation] and [Personal Magic: Mana].

They were really powerful, just as Damien said they would be. I am truly not disappointed whatsoever.

Either than that, I have also learned the [Mana Magic] Unique Ability, a specialty of mine, and a one of a kind magic. Within, were the Mana-type Second grade Spells I had, and a few more.

They were as follows; [Mana Control], [Mana Enhancement], [Mana Construction], [Mana Aura] and [Mana Creation].

There was also [Spirit Magic] Unique Ability, [Fire Magic] Extra Ability, [Water Magic] Extra Ability, [Wind Magic] Extra Ability and [Earth Magic] Extra Ability.

Each had their own spells that I can currently use at the moment. For [Spirit Magic] were; [Spirit Summon], [Spirit Grooming], [Spirit Communication], [Spirit Empowerment] and [Spirit Fusion].

For [Fire Magic] were; [Fire Ball] and [Fire Blast].

For [Water Magic] were; [Bubble Prison] and [Water Dragon].

For [Wind Magic] were; [Haste] and [Hurricane Burst].

For [Earth Magic] were; [Mountain Wall] and [Meteorite].

These were my new Abilities and Spells. And speaking of spells, Unique Abilities give one five spell quotations to that element, and Extra Abilities give two spell quotations.

Then with every Rank up, they increase by one. So far, I have nineteen spell quotations, and they were currently maxed out. But all that was secondary matters.

The most important part... was what I had created two days prior. Well not creating, but birthing using Spirit Fragments.

I had eight of them, Fragments I mean.

And out of the eight, came two strange eggs that even the Pixie prince could not truly decipher. I even heard it murmur "Strange." From time to time the past few days.

It was a golden orb like egg, and a silver orb like egg. When I had summoned them, the pixie prince appeared, and we had a conversation amongst us.

"Oho~ A successful formation of a spirit. Two of them. You must he extremely loved by the ladies of luck." It said, and I paused appraising the orbs, to carefully take a look at them.

Then I asked, "Is it rare?" The pixie nodded and said, "Yes. Spirits are innately Tier 3 creatures, with potential to surpass godhood by just living a normal life."

"The weakest of them, could even challenge demigods born from weaker leveled gods. Hence birthing one such entity, was rare to come by." It concluded.

I nodded, then remembered why I had succeeded in birthing two with just eight Shards...

It was because those weren't the only materials I had on me. There was the "Demonic Fragment" that Damien obtained, and was fused into the golden orb.

And the "Angelic Fragment" that was fused into the silver egg. They resonated well, hence why I tried it. And it's not like I expected it to work, you know.

I had also used a single [Mana Core] on both of them, a Condensed Divine Crystal for each of them, a Void Stone for each of them, Damien took the last with him.

Then used five hundred Mana Stones equally shared amongst them, Damien took the other half as well.

Unfortunately, even then, it would still take a long time for me to successfully birth these little guys, according to the pixies.

"As spirits are Tier 3 creatures at birth, you would need to feed them Mana equivalent to those of the weakest being in that League... multiplied by a hundred."

"That was just how important spirits were. And that was just on average. For some lucky fellows, they would need to feed them Mana equivalent to the strongest of demigods."

"Which was a hundred times a hundred those of the strongest Tier 3 entities. In simple terms, one could nurture a spirit for his entire life... and never even see it once."

"But if you do succeed, you get yourself a semi-divine spirit, entities stronger than even demigods, and could challenge even gods to some extent." The pixie explained, and I could easily understand it.

Then I asked, "What about the spirits within the egg? What happens when you give them Mana, yet never birth them?"

The pixie immediately responded, as if waiting for that question. "Simple. Imagine being stranded in a dessert, dehydrated and hungry, and a light rain occurs, them stops... how long would you survive?"

I frowned as such a question was easy to understand. The answer was one simple one, "Not for long." I said, and it heavily nodded its head, sparkles flying out of its body.

"Bingo!!"

These guys...

I chuckled at their childishness. Anyway, from then, it's been two days, and twenty days outside in our world, and likely, almost five months within the average world.

...I'm still not used to this. I'm almost fifteen and a half years old, in just less than a month's time of living.

Thats not important though.

What's important is that, throughout the two days, my Mana that had reached over a billion, had been shared equally amongst these little guys.

My Mana recovery rate was 24 hours, which was around fifteen minutes here. Hence every half an hour, I would give each of these guys half my Mana, then recover.

I even skipped my meals and my beauty sleep. Just for my future little babies.

That meant that I had given these two little guys, almost fifty billion units of Mana each, by this time. That was a lot of Mana, you know? Not even their mommy has that much... yet.

"It seems like you have yourself a peak Tier 3 spirit, or a semi-divine spirit if you're lucky." The pixie said, and I silently dreaded it's last words.

Semi-divine? How much Mana would that be?

"You will need over a month if it was just a peak Tier 3 Spirit. And probably over eleven years here, if it was a Divine spirit." The pixie said, as if it could read my expressions.

Was I that easy to read?

No. More importantly, what?

Eleven years? That's as good as a thousand years through the world calender!!

"..."

I suddenly now realize how mothering something can be so hard. It's like carrying an unknown being in your belly for nine months, and it still calls you a bitch.

Life... can be hard at times.

Anyway, all I have to do is just increase my Mana reserves, and that would be a done deal. I could easily succeed in less than a year.

And with my, and Damien's reserves shared equally thanks to our partnership, I can leave this to him for time being.

Speaking about him, I rubbed the soft orb like eggs within my eggs and softly whispered to them, "Let me tell you another story about daddy. Daddy is a great man that..."

...Don't look at me like that. It gets boring just sitting down and doing nothing you know. I mean... I heard that this was good for babies in their tummy phase.

So it's not like I'm doing anything bad.

Yes. I am not doing anything bad at all. Nor am I crazy. I am perfectly normal... Hm. Even I doubt the validity to those words. But I believe I am normal.

Either than all that, I have also succeeded in my first trial for my wish. It was to become a magician. Which I succeeded, and have almost twenty spells within my grasp.

And my second trial, was to at least learn to grasp four elementary affinities, and increase them to at least nigh-law attainments.

And honestly, I have no idea how I am supposed to do that. But at least I got a little hint from the pixie yesterday morning.

"Elemental affinity? That's easy. For fire, you just have to burn and bare with it. For water, you just have to swim and swim and swim. For earth, you just have to work hard on the farm, like planting crops and stuff. And for wind..." It paused, and looked at me.

My face also froze, and became unsightly. There's no way it's what I am thinking. "...Do I, have to, fly?"

The pixie nodded, and sparkles flew out of its body once again as it congratulated me. "Bingo!! You really are smart."

Smart my behind!!

How on earth am I supposed to accomplish that without magic or special abilities?

That's bull... You know what, for Damien's sake, I shall go through all of this.

Or rather for my sake?

Whatever. For both of us!!

As for my wish? It's a secret~
