Raul’s wide eyes stayed fixed on the glowing grey screen before him. As the Console

  [

  Raul tilted his head.

  As though the Console could hear his confusion, a new list materialized in front of him, its structure oddly familiar.

  [

  Features:

  

• Decipher
• Spell Store
• Tutorial
• Debug
• Analytics
• File Manager
• Recharge

  ]

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  Raul leaned closer, scanning the list. “Decipher? Debug? File Manager?” He shook his head. “I don’t understand half of this applies…”

  His eyes flicked to one feature in particular: Spell Store

  Something about it tugged at his memories. The interface was strikingly similar to an app store on a smartphone. A faint smile crossed his lips—this was familiar territory.

  Opening the Spell Store, Raul found rows of small, glowing icons, each paired with a name. Most of them were foreign, cryptic, and unfamiliar, but one caught his attention immediately.

  Chiming Winds

  The name was unmistakable. It was one of Faith’s favorite spells, a small but useful magic that summoned a cool breeze, perfect for hot days. He’d seen her use it often enough to recognize the symbol icon that accompanied the spell: a swirl of air.

  Curiosity bloomed. Raul selected the spell, and a prompt appeared:

  Download? Cost: 5 Mana

  Raul blinked. He had no idea how much he had or even how to check, but the idea of acquiring the spell was too tempting.

  Without hesitation, he thought the word Download

  A notification appeared.

  [

  Spell “Chiming Winds” installed. Stored in File Manager.

  ]

  Raul’s heart raced. “Did I just... download a spell?” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.

  Forgetting his fatigue, he sat up straighter, eager to explore further. The Console wasn’t just a strange tool—it was an entirely new way to interact with magic, something no one else seemed to have.

  And he was only just beginning to understand its potential.
