Learning magic is a lot of fun... especially when it's more practical than theoretical.
For the last three days, all I've done is stay in my dorm room, develop cards and so features for the Runestone update in the morning, watch the ga grow every day and spend the rest of the afternoon studying magic and Ga Creating.
Although magic was much more fun than studying Ga Creating, since in magic I practiced while I studied, I still rembered how nice it was to reduce the cost of making a Runestone card from 15 MP to 13 MP, so I didn't give up on that either.
During those three days, I made great progress in my use of magic.
Of the four spells I learned, I was already able to use 3 of them without needing help from the system.
Sure, the quality of the spells made with my magic alone was still crap, especially as learning them without a clear explanation proved to be more complicated than I had imagined.
Without a real explanation of the spells and how the spell structure worked, I was still confused about what I was doing wrong and why what I was doing was wrong.
The only spell I still haven't learned to do without the help of the System was [Web of Containnt], since it wasn't a Darkness spell.
As I was practicing three spells of the sa elent, practicing one spell indirectly contributed to practicing the other two, an advantage that [Web of Containnt] couldn't take advantage of.
Too bad the Darkness elent's spells were almost completely focused on attack or illusion, with the defensive or control spells of this elent of Rank E or below being much weaker than those of the other elents.
But going out into the street with the [Dark Camouflage] spell active and no one noticing was very interesting.
The sensation of having my body covered in shadows was a little suffocating the first ti I tried it, but I gradually got used to it and liked the chill the shadows created.
My illusions created with [Shadow Illusion] lacked the liveliness that System illusions had.
For comparison, it was as if my illusions were portrayed on an old television that played videos in 480p 20 FPS while the illusions made using the System ca in 4k 240 FPS.
The illusions made with the help of the System were so real that it would be impossible to discern them from reality without the use of so kind of supernatural ability, but the cost was just as high.
And the difference in my level of use of [Ghost Blade] with the System is also as great as the difference in [Shadow Illusion].
My blade was as small as the tip of a scalpel thrown by my hands, while the blade made with the System was as powerful as a dagger thrown by a professional.
But even if the spells I made weren't anywhere near the quality of the System's, I was still satisfied with them.
'That's a lot of growth for just three days of practice, with enough ti I'll be able to practice these skills to the perfection that System shows, a level that perhaps no other person of my rank can show.' I thought determinedly.
Another big developnt in the last few days has been Runestone.
Now that the college rank is over, the college has helped submit my ga to the official gaming site of my state's Federation.
Unlike the other world where any ga could be posted worldwide at any ti, in this world where gas and Players represented the strength of the country, these gas were extrely regulated and supervised.
Since Players had to send their consciousness to the ga made by a Ga Creator when they played it, as well as using Mana to absorb part of the influence that the Ga Creator decided the ga would have, this made the influence of gas on Players very great, giving Ga Creators the power to influence a group of people who were extrely important for national security.
If a Ga Creator's spy ga was released to Players with so kind of functionality that would cause them harm, it would be a disaster for the country, and regulations would have to be put in place to control this.
So for a Ga Creator to create gas, they had to enroll in a Ga Creator college, like the NFA I studied at, so that after a 5-year review while the Ga Creators were studying, a profile would be drawn up on the students and sent to the Federation as a security asure.
Our evaluation exam received so attention because the Players who tested our gas lived in our state and were trying out the gas that would soon be on the official market.
It was like readers from my old world who liked to read new stories. They knew there were great stories they could read, but the curiosity for sothing new and to see what would co in the future was great for so.
Sure, the number of players interested in trying out this type of ga was very low compared to the total number of players, which is why so few people played Runestone even though the ga showed so much innovation.
But now that the ga would be available on the official gaming website of my state's Federation, the ga would be in a much bigger showcase, no longer just a test ga made by inexperienced Ga Creators, but a product approved by a university and voted the best ga of this generation of FNA graduates.
The prestige that being the college's best ga gave would make the ga known to Players around the state who are used to only playing the best gas, making an impression on them and increasing the likelihood that they would decide to try out the ga.
My ga was developed in just one month, sothing that could hardly compare with a ga that had been online for years receiving small updates constantly or the gas they had access to from the Guilds they participated in.
Why should they trade a ga they already know is good for a ga made by a kid who is still learning to be a Ga Creator?
With the prestige of being the best ga at the NFA this year, this might arouse the curiosity of so Players to try out my ga.
If Runestone were a normal ga, it's likely that in a few months I'd get 10,000 total Players, maybe even reaching 15 or 20,000 total Players by the end of the year, but I was confident that Runestone would be different from normal gas.
With the systems I've developed, especially the invite system, I'm sure the ga will grow very quickly!
This differentiated growth was already showing with the constant number of new Players downloading my ga, even though it was still only available on the college's gas website.

The data that the ga screen showed made a smile break out on my face every ti I looked at it.
The average number of players online had almost doubled since last Sunday, and the ga's total players were rising steadily, even if this growth had slowed down a little.
If it weren't for the invitation system I developed for the ga, it's likely that I'd be struggling to get more than 300 new Players a day, since the amount of Players looking at the college ga rankings was limited.
Fortunately I was bringing in Players from other big gas on the Federation website and this was keeping the ga growing steadily.
The growth in Players in the ga also increased the amount of daily Mana the ga generated.
I was now able to increase my total Mana Pool by 2 MP per day and still have MP left over in the Ga Core.
This MP was accumulating in the ga, with controlling myself not to use it up too soon and make new cards, but thinking about how much this stored MP helped the last ti I had an ergency I decided to just keep it there.
The money I received from the ga also skyrocketed, passing $600 in daily inco.
Even if the ga remained at its current number of players, I would still receive a monthly salary of $18,000!
A figure I never dared dream of receiving every month in either world!
With this money I was receiving, and knowing that this money would only increase with the more Players there were in the ga, I could even consider developing a version of Runestone for computers, a version that normal people could play too!
Just as my mind was getting ready to ramble on about this and think about the possibilities it would give , a knock ca from my door.
Knock Knock
Curious, I went to the door and found Professor Pine looking at as if he were looking at a precious diamond.
“Hello Professor, would you like to co in?”
Smiling at , the professor just shook his head and said. “As much as I'd like to have a good chat with you to understand what's going on in your creative head, I'm here at the principal's request. The assessnt results are out.”
Hearing that, I was surprised.
'Finally the results are ready, maybe I can move in tomorrow!'
Nodding my head, I quickly left the dormitory and began to follow Professor Pine.
“Although I can't talk to you in private, I still want to take this opportunity to ask you a few questions about your ga if you don't mind, Brooks.” The professor asked curiously.
Nodding my head, I had no problem with that.
“Brooks, can you explain how you managed to integrate the...”
He took the opportunity all along the way to ask questions, all of which I answered enthusiastically, but which apparently weren't enough when we arrived at the principal's office based on the look of disappointnt on the teacher's face.
“Principal Prescott, I'm here with Theo Brooks...” He said after knocking on the office door.
Looking at that door and knowing that these would probably be my last monts as a college student, I was a little nervous and excited about what would be decided next.
