Dravos finally regained consciousness after what seemed like years of being asleep. The first Thing he did was check his surroundings to see if there was anything useful. He found some books on magic and the world of Egrest. Dravos decided to check out the system before he started reading. As he thought about the system it appeared before him almost instantly.

  After looking at his stats he saw that he had no mana and as he was wondering why, a new window popped up.

  {New Quest}: Form a Mana Core:

  To be able to utilize mana, you need a mana core.

  Find a book called; Starting on your magic journey, for information on how to form one, and create your mana core.

  Rewards: Mana Unlocked, 5 EXP, Basic Knowledge on Blood Affinity

  "I see, so thats how the quest system works, I'll be looking forward to doing more quests if they all give rewards".

  Dravos went over to the bookshelf and searched for the book so he could finish the quest and finally unlock magic.

  He found it and started reading it.

  "This is a guide on how to start your journey into the wonderful world of magic and the energy needed to use it. Mana is the energy that makes up our reality and is needed to cast spells, there are multiple different types of affinities one can have that set a path for a prospecting mage to follow. You wont be able to start wielding mana until you form a mana core so I will be teaching you how to sense mana and condense it into a mana core. To start you should find a comfortable position to either sit or lay down in and close your eyes. once you do this, try to sense the mana in the air and pull it into your body. As you do, form a ball of mana near your heart and condense it and make it into a compact sphere. And that is all you need to successfully form a Mana core. Be warned that you have to be extremely careful with this process otherwise you risk the chance of crippling your mana core making it impossible to cultivate more mana later on".

  "Alright sounds easy enough, I guess I'll start now".

  Dravos then sat in a lotus position and closed his eyes.

  His [ Mana-Born ] Skill made it very easy to sense and manipulate mana, so he did as the book said and started pulling in the ambient mana in the air. What he didn't realize was that he was quite literally pulling in all of the mana in a 20 ft. radius which made the process of condensing it much harder. He proceeded to condense the mana near his heart with great difficulty, until he completed it with sheer determination. Once Dravos' mana core was complete, a large amount of mana flooded his body, giving him a huge headache for a couple of minutes.

  As the mana in his body settled down, the quest window appeared again.

  {QUEST COMPLETE}:

  Due to exceeding expectations and creating a greater mana core, you will receive another 5 experience.

  LEVEL UP!

  Dravos was then given basic knowledge of his blood affinity, which gave him another headache as the knowledge was ingrained in his mind.

  After the headache was gone he decided to check his status and was amazed by what he saw.
