My Muscle System in the Mage World

Then, in front of his crimson eyes, his entire life seemed to end, leaving only his molecules behind. Even his corpse was gone, erased by the terrifying explosion that consumed him along with his enemies, including the man he once called his younger brother.

"Hmm?"

Aur paused. From his position, a small light seemed to flicker in the distance.

"What is that?"

He squinted his eyes, and the scene zoomed in as if by his will.

Amidst the remains, there was a simple purple circle with a strange, curvy shape inside the circle—like… muscle?.... It hummed softly in an indistinguishable sound.

"This sound is…"

Aur strained his ears to catch the humming, but even with his extraordinary hearing, he couldn't discern anything at all.

He walked up to the purple circle, then strained his ears as much as possible while focusing on its humming very carefully.

Aur's body immediately froze on the spot, and a terrifyingly vast amount of information appeared in his mind.

Ahhhh-

He screamed at the top of his lungs; it felt like his mind was going to tear apart right then and there.

Aur fell to the ground, and his crimson pupils gradually became vacant as he seemed to stare into the abyss.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Aur slowly gained consciousness.

When he looked around, he was in the room where he was first born.

"How strange?"

A frown settled on Aur's brows as he walked around the place, looking at himself as a baby. It was a strange feeling.

At this time, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly sensed mana which was unusually turbulent and a small flicker of purple light in the baby.

"Is that…"

Aur paused as he narrowed his eyes, watching carefully. Compared to the bright purple flicker of light, this one from the baby was very, very small and could barely be distinguishable by even a Tier Three existence.

Most of the Tier Three wizards, if they didn't have the specific investigative spell that is made for detecting such light, then it would be impossible to even see it.

He quietly watched as the turbulent mana only lasted for a few minutes before leaving.

Aur couldn't leave this place, so he could only watch the little Aur slowly grow up, with his encounters with Nina and even William.

There was also a slight regret in his heart as he wasn't able to kill William that time.

It was unfortunate because his mind was not in the right state, and he had chosen to be in favour of non-violence. Oh, how stupid that was.

This might partially be the case of the overwhelming luck from William that changed Aur's mindset by a lot, and the other being weary of fighting so he didn't take action that time.

"What about the purple circle then?"

Aur couldn't sense this now even if he wanted to, completely becoming insensible to him.

"This thing is still inside me…"

There was a vague idea in his head that the purple circle with the muscle symbols might be his muscle system.

Then right in front of him, the academy arc started and soon ended, and all his life experience ended just like that.

In the wooden prison, Aur slowly opened his eyes, revealing his crimson pupils:

"How much time has passed?"

He looked around the place and heaved a sigh of relief because there was no Nina in sight, which meant the scheme that those two women were cooking up was still not accomplished.

As Aur was thinking, he could feel the illusionary chains surrounding him that tightly bound him break and disappear into dust just like that.

Aur shuddered with his face full of smiles as a strange exhilaration washed over his entire being.

When he looked at his surroundings, things seemed to have changed a lot. His entire surrounding was the same, but it felt strangely different.

"No, everything is the same, just that I have changed."

The element of time was clearer than ever to Aur, and he could distinctively feel it. Maybe trying to make a spell with this might even be possible.

"But can this really be so easy?"

Aur shook his head. This was an unrealistic thought that cannot be achieved. For him to move the Time Elements, he needed a medium first and a huge level of energy.

The spells all acted as a medium, while the mana was the huge level of energy that was consumed.

This was the basic principle of a spell, and without it, a wizard is effectively useless because no matter their Tiers, they still needed a medium if they wanted to interact with the elements. If they couldn't, it was equivalent to having the fuel but not the car to run it.

It was in a similar principle to his own body where the body acted as the spell and the blood and Qi acted as the massive energy needed to fuel it.

"But…"

Aur paused as he consumed all the vast information he had gained from hearing the humming of that weird purple circle with the muscle symbol.

As he delved deeper and deeper, he gradually fell into a daze.

The next moment he looked, Aur was in an illusionary world, a black and white world to be precise.

A figure in black slowly materialised in front of him and started to perform a weird…

"Dance?"

Aur looked at the shadowy figure with his brows knitted.

"Wait…" Suddenly his eyes widened as he gradually felt a strange visualisation the more he looked at the shadowy figure.

Then Aur quietly observed without speaking, watching every moment, every posture, and every interval of breath the shadowy figure took as it danced.

"I can also use blood and Qi like that?"

Aur thought in shock the more he observed. Then all of a sudden, the shadowy figure paused, turning its head toward Aur.

Then Aur felt a terrifying pressure that seemed to lock into his body as the shadowy figure punched lightly towards him.

"I can't avoid it."

Aur thought in his heart with a terrified expression, but strangely his heart pulsed with power as excitement coursed through his veins.
