As soon as I watched the hologram recite a complete phrase from the magical alphabet, sothing strange began to happen.
First, small drops of blood dripped from the digital replica’s nose, and soon after, the air around the hologram vibrated and shimred.
Its eyes, once bright and lively, turned completely white, as if all the energy had been drained.
Then, without any warning, it fell backward, lifeless.
How absurd...
How is it possible that simple words can create effects in reality?
Looking at the glowing particles around , I searched for answers within the knowledge I had already accumulated, but everything seed insufficient.
According to what the book explains, these magical words create effects in the physical world, but why?
Why these words and not others?
What is the principle that makes this possible?
Frustrated, I decided to turn to my virtual laboratory.
—Virtual laboratory, generate a complete report on the experint caused by the hologram.

["Comparing energy expenditure..."]
["Applying mathematical calculations..."]
["Beep!"]
A response finally appeared.
["PsychoMagical Analysis Report"]
["ntal Drain via Word Pronunciation"]
["Report ID: PSYMAG/PHYSX4"]
["Responsible AI"]
["Virtual Laboratory"]
["Initial analysis confird the theory that words pronounced with precision produce direct cognitive drainage in the host, affecting their ntal and psychic capacities."]
["This phenonon, nad ’Psychoquantum Effusion’ by the mage author of the magical alphabet book, demonstrates that the user’s ntal energy is channeled to generate physical distortions in the environnt."]
["The rate of ntal drain is proportional to the complexity and strength of the invoked word."]
["Simple words such as ’Fire’ or ’Water’ generate moderate drain, while higher-level invocation phrases such as ’firo. firel. fire, burn at my command’ or ’Arrogant light, illuminate the darkness’ can exhaust cognitive reserves almost instantly."]
["Correct pronunciation activates a neuroquantum process that converts the host’s intentional thought into a vector of magical energy."]
["This is diated by a ntal interaction between the brain’s cognitive areas and quantum energy fields, with a direct cost to synaptic energy."]
["The host begins to experience loss of cognitive clarity after approximately 1 to 3 high-complexity words."]
["The ntal energy used to stabilize the spell enters a collapse state, generating symptoms such as dizziness, disturbances in ti perception, and motor difficulties."]
["In exchange for the drained ntal energy, the physical environnt around the host can be distorted in ways that violate the laws of physics."]
["These distortions, although seemingly not following known physical laws, are controlled by the host’s level of ntal exhaustion. The more exhausted the host becos, the weaker the effect."]
["End of Report"]
I stared at the ssage floating in the digital void, feeling a mixture of fascination and discomfort.
Damn... This makes no sense, I sighed, crossing my arms again.
I rested my fingers on my chin, reflecting.
Well... if you think about it, casting magic through your hands or talking to elentals also doesn’t make sense. But this...
I thought for a mont about the concept of ntal energy.
In my previous world, it was sothing that could be understood in practice, within the laws of biology and physics.
Electrical signals between neurons, neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, chemical reactions...
All of that produced the ability to think, decide, and even create.
The energy ca from the nutrients the body consud—simple as that.
But here, in this world, that ntal energy violated everything I understood as real.
Suddenly, the effort of thinking itself could distort reality.
As if the mind had beco a catalyst for ignoring the rules of the universe.
It was so out of context that it made dizzy.
I looked at the glowing particles still floating in the digital void, trying to understand what they ant.
I didn’t have a definitive answer, but one thing was clear.
My old logic wouldn’t help fully understand this world.
I needed to learn to balance what I knew with what this new world could teach .
Well, the science I know may not explain everything here, but at least it gives a foundation.
I will find the balance between these two realities, no matter the cost.
I took a deep breath and gave another command.
—Reactivate the hologram and, this ti, adjust the process to limit ntal energy expenditure.
—Create other holograms and run trial and error, learning from the mistakes.
—I want the most efficient way to speak magical words with minimal energy cost.
["Order accepted!"]
Imdiately, the digital void in which I floated filled with light and movent.
["Beep!"]
A series of holograms appeared around , each beginning to practice the magical alphabet, repeating words and syllables, trying to find the most effective way to pronounce them.
After a few minutes, the holograms collided with each other; so began to suffer the effects of the process—their bodies disintegrated, their minds drained, pronunciation failures physically reflecting in their digital "existences." But even amid all the chaos, each failure, each mistake, brought a small advancent. Efficiency rates began to rise.
["Total efficiency gained: 1%"]
The attempts continued, more holograms appearing, more bodies disintegrating.
Each failure was observed and recorded by my laboratory, learning and adjusting paraters in real ti.
["Total efficiency gained: 2%"]
["Total efficiency gained: 3%"]
["Total efficiency gained: 4%"]
.
.
.
.
The holograms were now more stable, capable of executing more precise movents, until, after many trials and errors, the efficiency rate finally stopped.
["Task completed!"]
["Total efficiency acquired: 72%"]
As the holograms disappeared one by one, a deep silence took over the digital environnt.
I looked around; the void had now dissipated.
It was ti to evaluate what had happened.
—Generate a report! I ordered authoritatively, my voice echoing through the emptiness as the last particles vanished.
The laboratory responded quickly.
["Beep!"]
["Linguistic Optimization Report: Magical Pronunciation"]
["Report ID: PRONMAG/ALGO72"]
["Responsible AI"]
["Virtual Laboratory"]
["The analysis and optimization of efficiency in the pronunciation of magical words reached an accuracy rate of 72%. This index represents an improvent of 9,900% compared to the initial calibration cycle (1%)."]
["During the tests, it was observed that the error rate began to stabilize due to inconsistencies in magical phonetics in high ritual complexity situations."]
["The 72% efficiency barrier occurs due to the absence of nurical precision markers in intonation."]
["Current magical words rely only on vocal intonations and lodic rhythm. This approach creates a margin of linguistic ambiguity in the transfer of ntal energy."]
["The inclusion of rhythmic numbers and sequential counting patterns within the verbal flow could drastically reduce the phonetic error rate, allowing perfect synchronization between intention and magical execution."]
["End of Report"]
I smiled to myself, a subtle yet sohow satisfied smile.
Of course, I had just extracted information from the alphabet.
I reflected a bit more on what I had just learned, but without wasting much ti, I issued a ntal command.
—Save the acquired information in the folder I created earlier and close the virtual laboratory.
["Saving and shutting down..."]
Within seconds, the digital environnt disappeared, and I found myself back in reality, still sitting in the chair in my room.
The two books were there, resting on the table, as if waiting to be unraveled once again.
I didn’t waste ti.
Without hesitation, I opened the blue-covered book, its black letters trembling slightly, and issued another ntal command.
—Extract information from this book.
The laboratory’s light shot from my eyes toward the book’s pages. The words there were not like those of the magical alphabet.
They were not letter symbols, but numbers. 1, 2, 3, up to 10, with infinite combinations possible within those first ten units.
Numbers that, depending on their combination, could form values so vast and complex that, in so cases, they could not even be pronounced.
Each number had its own magical properties and representations.
["Information successfully extracted!"]
Now, I had more information at my disposal.
Although, at the sa ti, my mind was restless with the amount of data I still needed to process and understand.
But it wasn’t ti to get lost in details.
There was sothing more important to reflect on.
I’m sure that if I speak this language fluently and without problems tomorrow, I will definitely attract people’s attention.
And that’s not sothing I want right now.
The idea of being noticed and becoming a target of interest, whether positive or negative, did not please .
I had to be careful.
I wanted people to see as soone ordinary.
Not so talented as to attract the attention of dangerous people who might feel threatened by , but not so bad that I would be disregarded either.
But at the sa ti, I couldn’t stop thinking about Miguel.
It would be funny to see his reaction if he saw speaking and reading magically on my very first day here at the tower.
Too bad that won’t happen.
—Reactivate the virtual laboratory again!
