[Chapter Size: 3293 Words.]Third Person POVIn the same alley located in the Orario slums, the young man in his early twenties was staring ily ahead. If anyone could see him now, they might think he had a malfuning head and call him crazy because this man was gazing intensely into nothing in front of him. However, from his perspective, it was airely different story.
Lucius was looking at an illuminated s in front of him and began to read with enthusiasm.
-----------------------
[Infinite Mana System][Notifications(1)][Missions(1)][Spell Shop][Status]
-----------------------
He started studying the s. First, he clicked on notifications, and another s opened on top of the initial one, like a puter program.
[Bonus for System Opening: 10,000 Points Added to the Spell Shop!]
"Great, points!" Lucius excimed happily as he saw the s showing the number of added points, even though he didn't yet know if this amount was good or bad.
Closing the s, he went to the option.
He clicked on [Missions(1)] to see what task was avaible to him.
[Mission 10,000 Firebolt: Cast 10,000 Firebolts! | t: "Firebolt!" | {Progress 0/10000 (0%)} | {Reward: User Cast Spell Without t.}]
He was surprised to see the Firebolt spell appear since he didn't know which spell came with the grimoire. This meant that he learhe exact same spell Bell was supposed to learn. It was quite strange because grimive users different spells depending on the person reading it. Learning the exact same spell as Bell was surprising.
"Anyway, it's very useful. I remember that Bell ed the early floors with this spell after learning it, he only stopped because he went into Mind Zero state, which I don't o worry about," Lucius mumbled with a lot of expectation.
Now, turning his thoughts back to the mission s.
"It may seem like a huge number of Firebolts, but the reward is very useful. Casting without shouting 'Firebolt' like Bell did in the anime is much, much better and faster. This is a mission I have to plete!"
Si is very useful, casting infinitely without the time-ing Firebolt t would give him the power to overe even a level 2 or maybe even a level 3 adventurer, if the oppo is within his range and not fast enough to dodge the endless fireballs, even if Lucius is still level 1.
"Hehe," he ughed happily.
Closing the mission s and moving to the , he now clicked on [Spell Shop].
A huge list appeared before him, of spells Lucius could purchase.
His eyes wide what he was seeing.
[Author's he list is extensive, if you want to skip ahead, scroll down, as most of the spells are currently useless, given that he has hardly any points to spend.]

It es in a specific grimoire for each spell.][Rules: You buy any spell as long as you have enough points, except for rank 5. However, you may not be able to use the spell if yic pool ot normally execute it. For example, if you have a rank 3 spell that would cost 3000 magic points and have magic level parameters of level 1 with 500 points, it will be useless until you have enough magic, as the system only es the amount of mental energy spent, it doesn't mean you would gain the energy to cast all the spells.]As Lucius looked at the list, time passed, and he didn't notice it had been an hour. He was captivated by all the spells in front of him, and his excitement reached its peak as he imagined what he could do with so many powerful spells."It's a shame to find out that my initial 10,000 points 't do much, but I'd like to earn points as quickly as possible and bee overpowered," Lucius said with anticipation.Reading the store rules at the end of the s, he found out that he could buy everything he could at once, and for every purchase, a grimoire would appear in front of him for each designated spell. This was an advantage, as he could buy one spell from each item on the list and even distribute the spells to others if they weren't suitable, as an option if Lucius wao help an ally.Among them was Firebolt, a rank 2 spell. Holy, even though the grimoires present spells differently to each person, there are still cssification levels for the grimoires, and Lucius deep down expected more from Freya. He thought she might give him higher-ranked spellbooks, but that didn't seem to be the case.He discarded that thought after a few seds, believing that Firebolt erfect for Bell, who had no magitil now and needed a fast-casting spell.Lucius was happy to have this system now, and it made him remember how he mao plete his mission, which came at the expense of another person. In short, he stole ahat didn't belong to him, which left a bitter taste in his mouth. He wasn't perfect, and he didn't sider himself a good person, but he had his own morals and only reached a point where he stole the grimoire from the naive Bell because he had no other choice."But still, it was worth it in the end," he said calmly.During the week he spent oreet, doing odd jobs here and there to make ends meet a, he could have goo Hestia or even asked for food at the Hostess of Fertility. He knew Hestia had a ki and would provide him with a pce to sleep, and Mia Grand wouldn't let him go hungry, even if Lucius had no money. However, by doing something like that, he would lose his mission if he ied with any Gods, Hestia directly and Freya ily through Syr when he went to the famous pub.Going to the dungeon was also an option to obtain stones, as he still retained his level 1 strength until his death, but it was impossible to reach the dungeorahout bumping into a god. Even in the slums, he was forced to dodge through the streets whenever anyone who seemed like a divine being appeared while he spent his days pnning to steal the grimoire.He was happy to finally see the results, as his week of suffering had paid off when he remembered the difficulties in his memories. Now he was curious about [Status], as he didn't have a Falna at the moment, but the option was still there.Clig on this option, the s appeared.------Information---? Name: Lucius Drakenar? Race: Human? Family/Falna: None? Niame: Loser/Useless Scum of the Family? Level: 1
---Status---? Strength: I58? Endurance: I71? Dexterity: I63? Agility: I81? Magic: I0---Abilities---? Blessing of ?????? (Nullifies Any Mana/Energy Mental Expenditure)---Spells---? Fire Spell/Firebolt/Rank 2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Let's see," he thought as he tried to process what he was seeing on the s. Name and race were okay, but in the information below, he had Falna listed as none because he was expelled. The s made him wonder if he could still increase his stats through the system without needing Gods to boost him. In a way, this could be much more beneficial, allowing him to evolve iime and not be tied to any family to grow.He thought this way because he didn't want to have to expin all his ditions to a God, or how easily he obtained grimoires, which were extremely rare and expensive objects in this world. He hat in the li was how people treated him, and the niames made him cry. These were most likely given by his old family, and he could uand why. His stats were that of an average adventurer with 2 months of experien the dungeoe obtaining his Falna two years ago. It was frustrating, but the system had blocked his progress for the st 21 years, as it had informed him.He was the same person in this world, an outgoing and ceous person who once made a half-elf fall in love with him, but over time, he started to doubt himself and feel defeated by the disdain of his former colleagues, whom he once called friends and panions when he joihe family. Even though many of them were still level 1, they were much superior in stats, and they despised Lucius over time.Most adveake 3 to 5 years to move from one level to another, and this difficulty increases with higher levels. However, no one remains at I-level (0-99 points) after 2 years. It was quite frustrating after everythiing aside these thoughts, he went straight to the end of the Status sheet, where he had his Firebolt spell and an ability. trary to his expectations of having an infinite mana core, he had the ability to nullify maal energy expenditure, which was more iing. He uood the st rule on the spell list."But this is good in a way. Think of a man in Orario with an infinite mana core. He would be a bea to the whole world. There's no way to hide something like that!"With the ability to nullify maal energy expenditure, he could pass as a regur adventurer, as his mental energy would be nothing out of the ordinary based on his magic statistic, which was currently at zero. This ability had only one effect, an effect that could be the most overpowered in this world. No matter how many spells he cast within his magic points, he would never reach Mind Zero, no matter how many spells Lucius could cast. This would break this world when I bee powerful enough.After closing his Status, he thought it was time to settle some pending matters that he could finally address now that his mission was pleted. He was free from the restris that forced him to avoid any God he came across. He initially po go to the dungeon, but there were other matters he o address first.
