((■ Hunt) Neo we are not physicists or biologists to have to look for all the answers, I remind you that we are engineers, we use everything that is at our disposal to engineer a solution to any problem.

We perceive magic as the ability to create mana capsules encased in ether. Based on this structure, we can develop almost any kind of spell, spending mana in each process or spell.

When mana comes into contact with ether, a fusion called aetherana occurs, which acts as a container for magic.

Fire spells work in a similar way to a regular fire: mana acts as the fuel and oxygen as the combustion agent. However, the ignition of the fire occurs when the mana comes into contact with air, a phenomenon we do not yet fully understand.

To create a fireball, we form spheres of etherana and fill them with our mana using telekinesis. We then compress the sphere to release the mana through a small hole, creating the flame.

The etherana’s control is not limited to mana spheres. We can give it different forms to manipulate other elements.

In the case of wind and water magic, both work in a similar way, as in their most basic state they control a fluid. By creating a capsule of aetherana, we can trap air or water inside and manipulate it to generate attacks or defences.

Earth magic is more complex to explain. Basically, we use etherana to move earth, rocks or minerals in the ground and manipulate them to our will.

Etherana is a peculiar compound: it is invisible and intangible, which made it difficult to understand. It took us months to understand how it worked.

Thanks to the theory of etherana, we can create magic without the need to conjure it. The book is based on other theories that explain various phrases and incantations that can be recited to invoke spells.

We kept experimenting and managed to create our own spells and new forms of magic that were not in the book.

If we compile all the types of magic we know, we get the following list.

--- Fire (Combustion)

--- Water and air (Fluids)

--- Soil (Solids)

--- Additional Magic

We only know these 4 types of magic. Being the additional magic, causing the abilities like item box or calculation... But from these 4 natures we can get many combinations of elements:

Each combination can create unique effects and consumes varying amounts of mana depending on the elements involved:

**Air + Water:** Lightning

This magic combines air and water magic to create a lightning bolt. It allows us to generate intense and extremely fast bursts of electricity, capable of unleashing shocking electrical discharges on our targets. This phenomenon is similar to natural lightning.

**Water + Air + Fire:** Icicle icicles

This magic combines water, air and fire to generate ice crystals. (We manage to freeze the water by means of a super absorption cycle.

**Fluid + Combustion + Solids:** Metallurgy

This spell combines the heat of burning mana and solids to generate a molten metal and with fluid magic we can shape it into any form we wish. This type of magic consumes a large amount of mana.

But magic was not the only life-changing discovery. We discovered a material that was capable of making impossible connections.

This material was not natural but produced by mutants.

It was during an attack of yellow bees that we found the amazing material. The queen bee was in control of the others by means of fine magic wires that allowed her to communicate with them and share her abilities. Defeating them was an arduous task; we had to use all kinds of traps and a lot of fire. Although the bees were low level, they posed a considerable problem, as we wanted to get that magic wire.

Once the queen bee was defeated, the other bees stopped working as a unit, colliding with each other. Their attacks were also affected, they were not able to aim with certainty. We defeated them easily and got the magic thread.

I had a great idea to connect to Hunt via the queen’s cable to share our skills. I put the cable near the back of my neck and like a magnet it connected to me. Hunt did the same. We passed out instantly.

We went into a deep sleep where we heard the voice of the gentleman, the old looking man who welcomed us after the car accident.

— My dears, I am proud of you,” said the gentleman as we caught a glimpse of him for a few moments.

— Conditions met, evolution imminent. Do you wish to evolve them? Mr. Tolmas,” said a woman’s voice.

— Yes, said the gentleman.

— Attempt to evolve. Failed, do you wish to try again?

— Yes,” said the gentlem.

— The Hunt and Neo user skills; [computer], [analysis], [Map], [Inventory], [Magic affinity] and [Item box] will be sacrificed.

— We have to... I’ll... I’m going to...

The man’s conversation with the woman went on, but gradually I stopped hearing their voices, I felt like I was sinking into the sea.

A blinding light woke me up. When I opened my eyes, everything around us looked like the disaster after a bomb. We were in the deepest part of a crater. I felt a push from behind me, it was Hunt getting up.

Standing in awe of the mess around us, a dizzy sensation brought us back to the ground. We seemed to be bowing to someone. Two small stars appeared in front of us. And suddenly we heard the voice of the Lord.

— This is my last gift. He said in a kind and happy tone.

The two glowing spheres entered inside our body and we heard
