Chapter 28
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 19:32:37 +0000 UTC'I might have been a bit too cocky when I thought I would be able to create portal easily' I thought while my assistant perk activated the spell Nature's mend by itself, helping my constantly draining HP to raise just by a little more.
I have been trying for 15 minutes now. My HP has dropped below half, and it is starting to affect me. The damage starts to affect my actual body after it reaches below half.
I was only able to function thanks to Nature's Mend, and the effect of Nature's Help from my ring that made my HP last just a little bit longer. However, my spells were draining my mana, and always getting help from Obsidian didn't sit right with me.
The problem with creating a portal was being able to perfectly visualize where you want to go, and while doing that, focus the dimension mana, because yes, that exists, it's golden colored, very volatile and doesn't want to be used.
Whenever I copied the movement that the asian man has used when opening the portal to Kamar-Taj, the mana started appearing like sparkles, but when I started moving it just disappeared, the first time I didn't think much of it, but after the 50th try I was starting to get annoyed.
" Anger won't bring you anywhere, calm your emotions, control them, and use them to help you control your spells, you can do it, you just have to believe you can." The voice of the Ancient One came from in front of me, his presence not being affected by the cold winds and the snow falling from the sky, he looked like he didn't belong here, as if someone had photoshopped a picture just to put himself there.
Following his words I took a big breath, the cold air filling lungs and making them tickle, my muscles relaxed, my annoyance got washed out of my system, and the mana that had until this point seemingly been ignoring me stopped escaping my grasp.
Circling my hand, the mana settled inside the sling ring, filling it with golden energy, copying the Fibonacci sequence I made bigger and bigger circles, the sound of sparkles filled my ears while in front of my space got tore to form a portal to Kamar-Taj, right in front of the surgeon and the asian man.

I didn't waste a second and immediately went through it, the cold debuff that had been draining my HP finally disappeared, my mana now almost at the bottom due to the constant activation of Nature's Mend, the creation of a portal had drained the little mana I had left in me.
" Good Job, one of the fastest ever recorded actually." The Ancient One said after he had created a portal in a second, making my efforts look like child's play.
" Next time, why not somewhere hot? Why the peak of a mountain?" I said while removing the snow that was covering my clothes, and my hair.
" It was the closest dangerous place." He shrugged.
I was about to retort, but the fingers where I wore the sling finger started burning, I remembered this sensation quite well, it had been the start of my growth in power.

The Gamer perk has made you able to bend Dimensional Mana without the use of a sling Ring.
New Perk: Dimensional Beacon
Effect: Your body produces Dimensional Mana, attuning you with it and letting you use it much easier than others, be warned, Dimensional Mana is one of the most dangerous and volatile types of mana, do not attract unwanted attention.

I removed the ring and saw on the two fingers that wore the ring a new tattoo had appeared, going all around my finger looking like a ring, with runic symbols at the center of the tattoo, colored like the dimensional mana.
For the first time, I saw surprise in the Ancient One's face, quite a lot of it.
" You-How-What... Do you realize what you have just done? To yourself and the stability of this universe?"
"No?"
" You have become a living dimension." This time it was the asian man that answered my question.
" Is it bad? I don't feel bad." I said, while looking at my body, aside from a sick new tattoo, I had nothing new, and of course the presence of the golden mana in my mana pool didn't go unnoticed, not from me, and not from Obsidian and Ivy, who are now swimming with much more gusto.
" It's not bad for you, it's bad for the earth because it might attract unwanted guests to our doorsteps, people that wish to turn you into a living dimensional energy battery, something that shoulden't even exist, the last time someone tried to do something like this he turned himself into a monstrosity that required the help from all the magicians on earth to deal with." The surgeon talked this time.
I need to ask their names.
"We have no reason to get worried, Earth has always been a focus for unwanted forces, they have just another reason to attack us, and we have another reason to protect it, Adrian here didn't know what he was doing." The Ancient One said after gaining his composure back.
" I am sorry, I-"
" Shush, you are just a child that doesn't know what he is doing, but now you have someone that can teach you, but will you be up for the challenge?"
" Do you even have to ask?" I said while smiling, the idea of learning magic made me excited.
