Rise Of The Weakest Mage

Chapter 7

The Magician Association classified the strength of magicians into several realms according to the state of their evolution, and the early stage of the magical realm was the evolutionary stage of every magician who could hold even a single unit of magic.

Finn himself was in the early stage of the magical realm!

To be more exact, he was behind the early stage of the magical realm.

His body that could only contain two units of magic energy classified him into stage 0 of the magical realm.

The worst of the worse!

The fact was that even after training for the past whole year, his body couldn’t contain more than two units of magic energy.

He was stuck at the first level for his entire life.

His life was a joke.

The Magician Association has divided the magical realm into 10 levels according to the amount of magic energy a person can contain in his body.

Magician who could contain 1 to 10 units of magic energy was said to be in the first level of the magical realm. Similarly, 11 to 20 meant being in the advanced stage, and being able to contain 100 units of magic energy in one’s body meant being in the peak level of the magical realm just one step away from the Channel Opening realm.

Many people liked to taunt and make fun of Finn as he was stuck at the first level.

Finn shook his head to get rid of such haunting thoughts as he didn’t want to wallow over his embarrassing and cruel past.

He focused more on the present.

“I have always been stuck at stage 0, but now there is a way for me to advance further.”

Finn didn’t let his embarrassing past shatter his ambitions.

He wanted to become stronger and be respected by the masses.

He was tired from being looked down upon all the time.

Finn didn’t hesitate for even a single moment and uttered the keywords in his mind, “Show Status!”

Essence of Life: 0 units

A blue semi-transparent screen showing his status suddenly popped up in front of his eyes causing his eyes to widen in awe and making him think that it looks similar to the stats of a character in a game.

“Cool. I understand.” Finn nodded, a smile stretching across his face.

There were two ways for him to obtain the essence of life and that was to defeat or kill someone and use the authority of life on them to extract essences of life from their bodies.

He wondered, however, if there’s any other way.

“Is there any other way to obtain the essence of life?”

The same thing happened once again and new words appeared on the black screen.

There were tabs on top of the status screen that popped up in his vision after he uttered the keywords for it to appear in his mind, but he was too excited and forgot to check them out.

He checked them out one by one.

There were three more tabs ‘Trials’, ‘Shop’, and finally, ‘Inventory’ and each one represented something else.

The screen automatically switched without him doing anything except for just uttering the name of the tabs in his mind.

He opened the inventory tab.

The last tab he checked was the trial tab and it was the only one that wasn’t locked behind a golden lock and black chains.

“Could I really become stronger by performing these basic exercises and eating well?”

Finn spat out a dumbfounded chuckle as soon as he read the details of the trial that’ll help him advance to Level 2!

He didn’t hesitate a moment longer and dropped to the ground to perform the first out of the four tasks mentioned in the trial.

Sometime later, once he was done with the first three tasks of the trial, Finn found himself exhausted to the bone but he didn’t stop and walked up to the mini refrigerator of his room, opened it up, and took out two parcels of chicken meat.

He couldn’t afford a better quality meat.

“What should I prepare?”

Finn shook his head.

“No time to think about it.”

He added the chicken to the pan and threw in a few spices like an expert on cooking technique and prepared himself 2 kg worth of meat.

These notifications popped up in front of his vision after he finished eating 2 kg of chicken meat in a single meal and burped out loud for several seconds.

“Yes!” Finn said after burping to his heart content.

Immediately after, Finn felt something entering his body.

The magic energy in nature was following into his body!

He hasn’t felt this feeling in his entire life!

Finn closed his eyes as warmness filled every fiber of his being, and it was only after a few minutes that this otherworldly feeling vanished without a trace.

“Hahahahahahah!”

Finn laughed so hard that tears started to stream down the corners of his eyes.
