--[[Affinity:<<Space/Time>> has been unsealed!]]
[[Blessing:<<Blessing Of Natasha Goddess Of Space And Time>> has been obtained!]]

What?

For now how about I do a recap on the events that happened so far. I was training with my wooden sword like usual, then some children asked me to be their friend, we went exploring, I went into a ruin by myself so I could train, then I cleared out the monsters and reached the end of the ruin. An annoying noble came out of nowhere and demanded to hand over the ruin's treasure I was going to say 'no' but then an adventurer suddenly made an appearance and took the children hostage, but I threw a rock to separate them and then the children ran away. The noble died, the adventurer left and I was eventually thrown in a ravine. I fell into a lake and almost drowned, I crawled out and then hit my head on something hard, then suddenly my <<Space/Time>> affinity was unsealed. Something doesn't sound right, or it might be this whole situation.

I took a few breaths and then pulled by body so it was facing the ceiling, this floor hurts damn it. Well, for now I'm gonna go check my status.

"Haven't checked it since killing that slime but--"(Zail)

So this is the culmination of one year worth of training, something doesn't look right. Why is my agility in the thousands while my other attributes are in the hundreds, it seems a little too unbalanced. Lots of my skills leveled up over the past one year, anyway that wasn't what I came to look for.

Yep, it's been unsealed. This means I can finally mix my mana with an affinity so it can get a certain property. Using <<Space/Time>>, the spell I need the most in this situation is a spell that turns back my body's condition because I have 350/1050HP, in other words if I lose my remaining 30% Health I die. Considering my body is that of a six years old I'm slightly surprised I haven't broken a bone yet, this probably shows how far the status effects my body. Anyway back on topic, when my <<Space/Time>> affinity was unsealed I also gained <<Blessing Of Natasha Goddess Of Space And Time>> which means the growth of my use of <<Space/Time>> may increase or the effects of <<Space/Time>> are amplified.

I have plenty of mana remaining, I should be able to make a spell.

I opened the pouch attached to my belt and took out a bunch of dried branches and hay, I then proceeded to put it on the floor and kindle it using a matchstick.

"This should last me at least three hours."(Zail)

Now that there was light in the area I looked at what I bumped into moments ago, it was a statue of a woman who seemed to ooze the atmosphere of someone graceful, the statue was run down though. I clapped my hands together and said 'thank you' around three times, this statue is my saviour.

I crossed my legs and sat down on the hard floor that seemed slightly unstable, brought my hands near my solar plexus and began to circulate my mana. If I remember correctly Tomoyo said that in order to attach affinities onto mana you have to attach a 'colour' to an affinity, and then switch your normal colourless mana into a 'coloured' mana. For now I'll attach a pale black onto my <<Space/Time>>.

[[Skill:<<Space/Time Magic Lv.1>> has been obtained!]]

I've obtained it already, sweet.

I formed something that resembles an orb in my hands, I say 'resembled' because the orb is changing forms from that of a sharp magnetic wave to that of a spherical shape. I'm trying to form a sphere and keep it like that constantly.

[[Skill:<<Space/Time Magic Lv.1>> has increased to <<Space/Time Magic Lv.7>>]]
[[Skill:<<Prodigy Lv.90>> has activated!]]
[[Skill:<<Space/Time Magic Lv.7>> has increased even further due to skill <<Prodigy Lv.90>>]]
[[Skill:<<Space/Time Magic Lv.7 has increased to <<Space/Time Magic Lv.15>>]]

That was fairly easy. Two hours passed and I finally levelled up <<Space/Time>> and it even did a chain reaction with <<Prodigy>>.

The fire is starting to cool down, for now let's try this. I put my hands over the fire and released my magic. According to Tomoyo 'magic' is a phenomenon that is a reflection of an 'image', I thought it sounded vague at first but then when I tried magic myself I then realised she was absolutely correct. My 'image' for this was a clock. I turned the hour and minute hand backwards, the time I thought up was 01:20. I used this image while wrapping and spinning my mana around the lightly lit fire.

To the naked eye, the fire looked as if the space around the fire was being moulded. Soon after, I managed to turn back the time of the fire into it's previous state which was a brightly lit fire.

It's now using a dash and shows the spell I just learnt as part of the <<Space/Time>> skill. Well, this does give a little more information about what a 'crest' is.

"Well, brushing that aside I need a biological test subject."(Zail)

I said this to no one in particular but this sentence sent shivers through my own spine. I'm changing, I'm changing TOO much. I felt this happen when I reincarnated, I started looking at most things with my 'logic' and then proceeded into evaluating the simplest of things. From evaluating dirt to even evaluating the clouds, and this added with my continuous history of being misfortunate is creating 'something'. Something I won't be able to control one day, maybe I'll even--

"--No! It's no use thinking like that, I have to keep my morale up."(Zail)

How much mana do I even have left?

I used approximately 1.1 million of my mana to turn back time by an hour an twenty minutes, this should be good considering how long it's been since I actually obtained the spell.

"Guess it's time to leave..."(Zail)

I muttered so as I looked at the treasure that was glittering.

"What a waste..."(Zail)

If only I could store them somewhere....

"Hold up!"(Zail)

What if there's a storage related item in that treasure box?! Shit, my luck is zero though.

"AAHH WHATEVER!"(Zail)

I limped over to the treasure chest, and the moment I touched the box--

[[Title: <<Dungeon Conqueror>> has been obtained!]]

I didn't conquer a dungeon though... Well, whatever.

"Shit, theres only gold... Wait, what's this?"(Zail)

As I searched through the chest full of gold, I noticed there was a satchel at the bottom of the chest and then grabbed it.

"Mhm?"(Zail)

[[System: Congratulations, you have obtained <<Satchel Of 'The Modern Magician Touma Amakawa'>>]]

"What?!"(Zail)

This name... It's obviously Japanese and it even has 'modern' in it's name. Actually wait, what does 'modern' entail? How 'modern' is 'modern', for all I know he could be from the future of my previous world or he could even be from the past because to him it would be considered 'modern'. Also, 'modern magician' this could either relate to combat or just entertainment. In my previous world there was definitely magic, however it was a secret organisation that even the government didn't have access to. Though after many years of war they were finally killed, but in my previous world the war ended 80 years ago and hence magic became known as a myth. I had a case to do with magic when I was young, but a mysterious old man solved the case and then disappeared. I didn't even have a chance to get to figure anything out, that means---

"---This could be really advantageous..!"(Zail)

I seemed to be getting excited so I calmed my breathing down. I closed my eyes and then opened them.

"Let's do this!"(Zail)

After I reaffirmed my desire to leave this ruins I opened the satchel immediately after--
