I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
#9.Sage and Magic~part 1

"S-wise ..."

I stared in disbelief at the book in my hand. This is because the sage described here is probably the former homeowner I used in this other world. Moreover, it is safe to say that I cannot do anything without the help of a wise person. I was deeply indebted to him for weapons and armor, and many materials such as complete recovery grass. First of all, if the house did not have any barrier abilities, I would have already died the moment I stepped out of the door, connecting the house with another world.

The book of sages, moreover, who else could reach this place…

I opened the book with a slight tremble. One of them is described as follows:

I know this all of a sudden, but let's talk about the past. This is my past. I know it's boring but listen to me.

I can do anything. Yes, since I was born, there is nothing I cannot do. Magic, swordsmanship, cooking, singing, painting, blacksmithing... I can really do everything in this world. And I also have the power to master it.

As a result, I stepped into the "nature of God" when I was alive.

It was one of my few amazing events; the gods encouraged me to become a god directly.

Well, someone else would gladly accept it. After all, if you agree, you will be able to join the Gods and gain immortality. Before this, even if I could revive the dead, I could not become immortal. But. I refused. The people around me were shocked, and some of them scolded me for being arrogant. But I still refuse.

I've talked about this at length, but there's one thing I'd like to tell you as you read this book. You are good enough to come to this place. I'm not sure how you saw it, now I'm dead.

I don't know what you think of others. I don't know, but it will eventually scare the people around you like me. This may be an afterthought, but as a predecessor, I don't want you to live a life like mine.

…I haven't told you why I refuse to be a god, have I? That's because..I want to die as “human”. I, who can do anything and achieve divinity while I am still alive, can only die as a "human" in this way.

I don't want you to end up in the same position. It's really selfish of me.

“….”

I have read so far, and I am amazed by the kindness of wise men. My image of a wise man is that he is the type of person who is not interested in others and is only interested in himself because he is building a house in the middle of such a forest.

As he could do anything, he was a pitiful person who was more lonely than anyone else and had lost the ability to die as “orang” in addition to dying at the end of his life.

If what he said was true, then my strength might be one of the most powerful among humans. If things continue like this, like sage-san said, I might be feared by the people around me.

…I don't want that. But what should I do?

As I continue to read books with this in mind, there is more information.

It's a little scary, but to finish it is simple.

The answer is to get someone you can trust.

It could be a friend, lover, or parent. Create someone who will risk everything and stay there for you.

...I was good at building relationships when I was alive, but I didn't get someone to expose everything that way. If you have time, do not be afraid and look for such people positively.

“U-umm...”

Meaning, yeah…..I guess it is, but... I'm the type of person who didn't have any friends until recently, you know? I felt it was a pretty high hurdle…

Sage-san, don't you think it's according to your own standards?

You'll be fine. Do not rush, take your time ... Do it at your own pace and make lifelong friends. Not only do you have to deal with your friends, but you also have to deal with yourself.

You read my mind!

While doing the tsukomi in my heart, I remembered my grandfather who had died by words of wisdom.

…My grandfather said the same thing to me before he died…

It might take some time, but I'll make my own way, little by little.

As I turned the page with that thought in my mind, there was a continuation.

Thank you for keeping me company so far, and I'm sorry for that, but I'll write down one thing you want to know in this book.

“Eh!?”

When I saw the letters written, I let out a hysterical voice.

Then, what I wanted to know, or rather, I felt like my mind was actually being read. Even if it was suddenly said, nothing came to mind honestly. I have too many things to know.

…But talk about what I want to know now…

"Magic .. I wonder ..."

I haven't used magic since I came to this world. That's why I miss the miracle. It's nice to imagine being able to make a fire out of my hand like that. As I thought about it, a new character was written on the page that had been empty all along.

You want to know about magic.

"I knew you'd read my mind!"

It turned into a belief in me. Ignoring me like that, additional letters appeared on the blank page.

I have packed all my magic theories into this continuation. But you have no knowledge of magic.no, on the contrary.you are not a resident of this world.

“How can you know that?”

It seems like sage-san can see everything. Even so, I don't think he will be able to know that I am an otherworldly person. What the hell is going on? What's up…?

But unfortunately, even if you have a magic theory drilled into your head, you are incapable of using magic. It was because every human in this world had a. [Magic Circuit] in his body that allowed them to use magic.

“A-what?”

L-then...I can't use magic for the rest of my life...?

There was nothing I could do if he said it was different because of how my body was built. When talking about magic, I hope to use it someday since I came to this world, and that fact is quite shocking. But sage-san's words didn't end there.

Therefore, I will give you my magic circuit. Yes, I don't exist anymore. But my magic circuit is so precious that it can be said to be a treasure of this world. It would be better for you to use it rather than just make it disappear.

“Eh!?”

Can the magic circuit be passed on to others? Moreover, it is alright for an outsider like me to take such a valuable item?

Despite my anxiety, words of wisdom are written in a light tone on the page more and more.

If you don't use it, it will just disappear. But now you're here. There was nothing wrong with it, just that the existence that inherited it just so happened to be an otherworldly being. It was decided that it was better for people who could use it.

First of all, how many people can get to this place…?

“….”

It is true, I know from what Owen-san and the others said about how dangerous this place is.

Well, don't think too hard about it, but be happy because you happen to have the best magic circuit in the world.

"I wonder if I can take it lightly ..."

Well, that's not something I can say right now where I've been using weapons and sage houses, but even so, I felt regretful when she treated me so well. I'm so sorry…

... Well, whatever. I've got nothing to say to you if you're going to eventually become worthy of that power and live a life that you can sustain.

“….”

I was reprimanded by sage-san who should no longer be in this world. Even so, if I can fulfill what sage-san said.if I can become such a person who lives according to the power given by sage-san, I have to try to be that kind of person.

Just as I made that determination, suddenly, the wise book started to shine.

"Huh!?"

Now that you've made your decision, let's start. This is my magic circuit that the whole world wants…!

I had flipped the page with my previous hand, but suddenly the book jumped out of my hand and was glued to the air, and the pages were more and more turned over. Then, as the page stopped, a large number of characters I had never seen before appeared there and jumped off the page.

"What-what!?"

A series of letters wavy like a snake. It crawled up from my feet all over my body; a character that filled from the top of my head to the tip of my feet, eventually covered my entire body and disappeared into my body.

At that moment, my heart felt like it was burning. I knelt on the spot without thinking, but this time the heat radiated all over my body from my heart, and finally, it quietly receded.

“Hah, huh, huh, huh...!”

"Woof?"

Night looked at me anxiously as I tried to catch my breath in despair. I managed to return her smile, and the book that was shining in front of me fell into place. Then, a page had just appeared before me.

Looks like you have inherited my magic circuit safely. Now you are ready to use magic. And as I said at the beginning, I've packed all the magic theories into this one.

If it's someone else, they need to learn the magic theory written there, but that's not necessary for you, either, who inherited my magic circuit because my own magic theory was already etched into that circuit on a genetic level.

I managed to catch my breath and flipped through the book as if to confirm it. As sage-san said, there is a lot of information about magic. It was full of jargon that I didn't know what it was. I wonder if I should understand all of this to be able to use magic, so I am very grateful for the words of sage-san. I'm sure I have the skills to understand language, but there are so many words that I don't understand at all…

I look at it for now, and when I look at the last page, it ends with the words addressed to me again.

…I've said it many times, I want you to be happy reading this book now. Existence that is human but not human.

There will be times in your life that are very painful. Therefore, you must live your life without regrets. I'm happy if this book and my magic circuit can help in some small way.

I wish you the best of your life, ~from sage~.

“...Thank you, sage-san. You too, may you be in peace ... "

I put the book in the item box and put my hands together, praying to the remains of the sage-san in front of me. Next to me, Night imitated me, closed his eyes and lowered his head. After a while, I appeared and said to Night. "Okay, Night .. We're going home for today!"

"Woof?"

"Are we done?" Night tilted his head as if saying that.

"Yes. That's enough for today. More importantly, I need to read the book that sage-san left for me right now. In addition, maybe Night can also use magic.”

"Woof!"

Night nodded happily, and we walked home with him as the leader, as we had done when we came.
