Before diving into the story, please take note of the 7 stages to become a Supreme Magus.
All the meridians are connected from the backbone to the skull. There are 7 rings attached from the tail of the backbone to the skull.
Primary Mage: Class to 5;
Secondary Mage: Class 6 to ;
Elder Mage: Class and ;
Master Mage: Whoever masters any particular elemt in nature;
Grandmaster Mage; Mastery of mystic arts;
Mortal Sovereign Magus: Developmt of a third eye on the forehead of the Mage which can be controlled;
Supreme Magus: The ultimate magician capable of defeating 0 mortal sovereigns at once.
*The primary secondary rings contain 5 compartmts for storing Aura. A person who can fill Aura inside these compartmts can surpass their currt stage.

As Kt closed his eyes and focused on absorbing the aura, a surge of aura rushed into his meridians like a flooding river. Before this, the aura used to trickle down into his meridians, which were very narrow and twisted to allow the free flow of aura ergy.
Like an ergy bar, the aura filled his 4th and 5th compartmts inside his Primary Mage Cycle. Instead of pushing forward, Kt stabilized his aura.
Like a shak coke bottle, the aura continued to flood his medians; soon filling the 6th and 7th compartmts of the Secondary Mage Cycle.
Kt quickly stopped the incoming aura and conctrated on refining the ergy within his primary mage cycle.
As the primary cycle began revolving at a rapid speed, black impurities were expelled out of his body. His heart began racing as he gasped for air, focused on interconnecting the five compartmts of the Primary Mage Cycle.
*[For some new readers who are new to magic novels, if you are a 3rd-class mage, you can control 3 compartmts of Aura in the outside world. Similarly, the same pattern continues.]
Finally, after two hours of meditation, Kt woke up with a sere smile playing on his lips.
In one sitting, he had advanced to 7th class Magus. Without wasting another second, he moved to the combat room to test his strgth.
The combat room was a long rectangular chamber similar to a modern firing range. As far as he remembered, Kt had only studied basic maze skills.
He manipulated the aura to create magic weapons like daggers, swords, sabers, and spears, all gleaming with a transpart gold color. After conjuring those weapons, he attacked the dummies that stood at the far d of the combat chamber.
Most of the weapons disappeared mid-air, and only a few daggers could reach the dummies, but ev after contact, they only left a shallow mark.
“Worst of all, these basic skill books are useless. I must get a powerful skill book. The school only has some trash skills,” Kt muttered, scratching his head in frustration after analyzing his performance.
Buying skill books as an outsider was difficult. Ev if we were to have ough gold, Kt would need a Wizard Hall recognition tok to buy one. Hce, most people depded on the schools.
The schools are also very partial since they only provide advanced skill books to talted mages in return for their service.
Ev after an hour of trying, Kt’s combat improvemt remained minimal. Without a skill book, he couldn’t manipulate his aura freely– it was like being a scholar who couldn’t speak the language.
After letting out a sigh, Kt stopped his practice and wt out to roam the streets. Neon lights illuminated all the stores, and as the night deeped, he saw several girls in modern clothes heading to the clubs.
Kt tried to keep his thoughts straight as the beautiful ladies in short skirts walked by, their long legs and alluring thighs attracting his gaze. A thick, feminine sct filled his nostrils, intoxicating his mind with bad thoughts.
“Stop staring at wom. Don’t you know any manners?” Suddly, a lady shouted from his side.
Kt shrugged and turned toward the voice. The woman’s reprimand was so loud that a few ladies passing beside Kt gave him a disgusted look.
After seeing the woman who shouted at him, Kt felt a bit of relief– it was Thea, his promised wife.
“Is this your first time seeing wom?” Thea questioned with a cold glare, her irritation evidt in her tone.
“Why do you care? I’m not looking at you,” Kt replied, staring directly at her face. Both of them stared at each other with cold expressions.
“Why is this idiot not showing any fear?” Thea thought while gripping her fists. Before this, Kt had always shown concern for her, as he heartily considered Thea as his wife, but the rect incidt with Thea completely changed his attitude towards her.
“Hmmhh… Let’s see how many days you can survive on borrowed money,” Thea commted angrily and left with a cold shrug.
Kt stared at her fleeting figure for a long time, memories stirring in his mind. He remembered how he used to sleep next to her. Ev though Thea scolded him every time, she would let him sleep by her side until Grandma died.
Thinking about the past, Kt moved forward. He finished his dinner in a small roadside stall where he used to eat every time and turned back towards the Hotel Moon Light.
“I should call my aunt for some advice on skill books; she might help me get an advanced skill book,” Kt muttered while walking towards the g eagles inside the hotel.
As he got onto the eagle to reach his room, a pair of eyes who stood at the reception continued to stare at him with a wide op mouth.

“Hey, Mona, guess who I saw at Hotel Moon Light?” Ric, Mona’s currt boyfrid, asked in a surprised tone.
It was Ric who had se Kt inside the hotel.
“Who?” Mona was questioned with a confused face. (The girl who had warned Kt about the repaymt of debt),
“It’s Kt! I saw him with my own eyes. Also, he was holding a room keystone,” Ric exclaimed aloud.
“What?! That’s impossible. I don’t think it would be Kt. You must have se someone who looks like him,” Mona spoke modestly, unable to believe the news.
“No… I’m damn sure. It definitely was Kt. And since I’m with my dad, I can’t follow him. Otherwise, I would have st a video message,” Ric insisted while holding his glass orb toward his face.
Mona remained silt, struggling to believe his words. “Ric, let’s ask him tomorrow. I’m really curious about how he got money to pay for a room,” she finally replied after some thought.
“Ok… ok… I will meet you tomorrow. I’m with my dad now. Goodbye, babe,” Ric said before disconnecting the call with a wave.
Just as he finished the call, the receptionist said, “Sir, the standard rooms are under rovation. Only VIP rooms are available.”
“What do you mean? I just saw a pauper goi…” Before Ric could finish his rant, his father stopped him by blocking his mouth.

Just as Kt prepared for sleep, his old glass orb began glowing and vibrating inside the bamboo bag.
“Why is she calling me now?” Kt muttered, staring at Thea’s image on his old glass orb. (Not the sky orb giv by his aunt.)
