Veil of Magic & System

5 Days Later

Elias nods in understanding now, he has a faint flashback to his past life when he was diante Ruddran living in a different magical world where Prestigious Mages had special devices within their constructed Magic Towers to increase the Ambient mana. Elias muses how it was a weaker version compared to the System's Ambient Mana Amplifiers. Elias confirms his choice and purchases the item with his 15 points and has the system integrate the amplifiers around the first Beastial Space's world in a circle along the edges of the space.

The Beastial Armory System confirms the purchase and begins to integrate the Ambient Mana Amplifiers into the First Beastial Space. The system creates a series of delicate crystalline structures that are placed along the edges of the space, forming a circular pattern. As the amplifiers are activated, the ambient mana within the space begins to increase, and the environment takes on a subtle, pulsating glow.

The Beastial Armory System displays the current mana levels within the First Beastial Space. The ambient mana has increased significantly, and the levels are now: Mana Levels: 250/300 (83% capacity).

Elias asks the system what the previous mana levels were before the integration of the amplifiers.

The Beastial Armory System responds, "Before the integration of the Ambient Mana Amplifiers, the mana levels within the First Beastial Space were: Mana Levels: 120/300 (40% capacity). The amplifiers have increased the ambient mana by 130 points, bringing the current levels to 250/300 (83% capacity)."

Elias nods in satisfaction, then a curious question pops into his head as he almost forgot to ask the system, Elias then asks how he can earn Beastial Space Points besides receiving them from achievement rewards?

The Beastial Armory System responds, "Beastial Space Points can be earned through various means besides achievement rewards. You can earn points by completing quests, defeating high-level beasts, and participating in special events. Additionally, you can also earn points by donating rare materials or resources to the Beastial Space, which will be used to create a more sustainable and thriving environment for your bound beast. Furthermore, as you level up your Beastial Space Management skill, you will have access to new ways to earn points, such as creating and managing your own Beastial Space resources, or participating in exclusive activities within the space."

Elias Yawns as he begins to feel a bit sleepy. he closes the Beastial Armory System and then settles into the clinic's bed once more for a small nap.

After that afternoon for the following five days Elias's schedule revolved around having a meal being brought to him during breakfast, lunch and dinner where his parents and the village Healer Elara Moonwhisper would sit next to Elias while he ate on the bed. then after eating Elias would do some light exercises such as light stretching and walking around his clinic room with the walking stick Elara lent him, then When he was alone he would practice the Resonance Focus skill and utilize the mana whirlpool within his core to direct the refined mana into the first Beastial Space.

As the days pass, Elias's body continues to heal and recover. His parents and Elara Moonwhisper are pleased with his progress, and they encourage him to keep up the good work. Elias's light exercises become more frequent and more challenging, and he begins to regain his strength and mobility.

the miniature grassland world started looking more real and vibrant each passing day and the mana levels soon reached 100% capacity, for a total of 300/300 due to his continued practice and thanks to the Ambient mana Amplifiers there was a Almost Visible mist of Mana filling the space.

Elias also managed to level up the Beastial Space Management skill from its level 1 to level 3 during these five days.

The Beastial Armory System congratulates Elias on his progress, "Congratulations, Elias Harrington! You have reached level 3 in Beastial Space Management. As a result, you have unlocked the ability to craft resources using material resources found in Eridoria. This ability will allow you to create items and structures that can enhance the environment and benefit your bound beast. You now have 50 Beastial Space points to spend on resources or items to aid in your Beastial Space's development."

On this day, Elias was exceptionally excited not just because he gained increased levels in his skill or the fact that he had quite a lot of Beastial Space points, also known as "B.S.P." for short But mostly for the fact that he was now fully healed and could return home within his parents.

During the last five days, Elias would ask his father Alexander Harrington how the Harrington family's forge, which was attached to the family's house, was doing. Elias remembered that his residence and family forge were near the center of the village Square and close to the Village Chiefs home. Elias managed to convince his father to teach him Blacksmithing after he recovered. and Elias was excited to begin his training as it was a good way to strengthen his body and physique.

Alexander Harrington smiles, "Ah, Elias, it's great to see you're finally fully healed! We've missed having you around the house, but we're proud of the progress you've made. And yes, the forge is doing well. We've had a steady stream of orders from the villagers.

I'm happy to teach you the art of blacksmithing. It's a family tradition, after all. In fact, I was thinking of taking you to the forge today so we can start your training. Your mother is excited to see you learn a new skill, and I'm sure you'll pick it up quickly. Let's get you dressed and ready to go. We'll head to the forge shortly."

As you walk to the family forge, you notice the village square bustling with activity. The sun is shining, and the smell of freshly baked bread wafts through the air. You see the village chief, a stout dwarf with a bushy beard, standing outside his home, talking to a group of villagers. They nod in, greeting as you pass by.

Elias walks into the Harrington's Forge with his father Alexander, who shows Elias around the Forge and the workshop before he begins to start teaching Elias.

The forge is warm and cozy, with a fire crackling in the hearth. The air is thick with the smell of hot metal and coal. Alexander Harrington leads Elias to a workbench, where a half-finished sword lies, surrounded by various tools and materials. "Ah, welcome to the Harrington's Forge, son," Alexander says, his eyes shining with excitement.

"I'll teach you the basics of blacksmithing, just like I learned from my father. First, we need to get you comfortable with handling the tools and understanding the process." He hands Elias a pair of gloves and a small hammer. "Let's start with something simple. I want you to practice striking this piece of metal with the hammer and see if you can get a feel for it."

Elias had a sudden thought, as if a light bulb went off in his mind. Elias had some knowledge of blacksmithing from his past life's memories about what his father Alexander is actually asking of him. his father, what's to see if Elias can understand where to hit the sword with the hammer to adjust its balance. Elias's thought is to use his Resonance Focus skill but instead of directing it to his Beastial space He'll focus on the Resonance he makes when striking the Sword with the hammer and locating the imperfections and gradually get rid of them with the hammer blows. he doesn't tell his father but begins immediately.

Alexander Harrington watches his son with a curious expression, observing as Elias takes the hammer and begins to strike the sword. At first, the blows are clumsy and uncoordinated, but as Elias focuses, his technique improves, and the strikes become more precise. Alexander's eyes narrow slightly as he examines the sword, noticing the subtle changes in its balance and shape with each blow. He can't quite put his finger on it, but there's something different about Elias's approach, something that seems almost... intuitive. As Elias continues to strike the sword, the resonance of the hammer blows begins to take on a life of its own, creating a subtle vibration that seems to harmonize with the metal itself. Alexander's eyes widen slightly as he realizes that Elias is somehow using his Resonance Focus skill to sense the imperfections in the sword and correct them with each blow.

Elias Continues removing the imperfections from the blade with the hammer using the Resonance skill the process was similar to how a bat uses echolocation to send sound waves out until it hits an object then bounces back towards the bat to show a mental imagery of the surroundings, in this cases Elias was discovering the imperfections in the metal and hammering it out, flipping the blade over and working on the other side until he laid the hammer down and wiped the sweat from his brow as he smiled up at his father.

Alexander Harrington's eyes are wide with amazement as he watches his son work. He can see the focus and concentration on Elias's face, the way his body seems to be moving in perfect harmony with the hammer and the sword. He can feel the energy emanating from Elias, a palpable resonance that seems to be infusing the metal itself. When Elias finally lays down the hammer and wipes the sweat from his brow, Alexander can't help but let out a whistle of admiration. "By the gods, Elias! You've got a natural talent for this! I've never seen anyone work with metal like that before. You're not just hitting the sword. You're... sensing it, feeling it, working with it on a deep level." He takes a step closer to Elias, his eyes shining with excitement. "Tell me, how did you do that? What's going on.

Elias then explains to his father Alexander about his Beastial Summoner class he gained after awakening in Elara Moonwhisper's clinic five days ago when his parents checked on him, Elias apologizes about not telling them right away but then explains how Resonance Focus is one of his class skills and was originally intended to be used as a meditative technique to gather ambient mana, but Elias instead used it to help detect the imperfections in the sword.

Elias then asks what the next is in his blacksmith training

Alexander Harrington's expression changes from surprise to curiosity, and he nods thoughtfully. "Ah, now that you've shown me your... unique approach to blacksmithing, I think it's time to move on to the next step. Let's work on tempering the blade. We'll heat it to a precise temperature and then quench it in oil to give it the right balance of hardness and flexibility."

He gestures to a nearby furnace, where a small fire is burning. "I'll show you how to heat the blade to the right temperature, and then you can try quenching it yourself. But first, let me ask you something, Elias. How did you feel when you were using the Resonance Focus skill on the sword? Did you feel any... unusual sensations?"

Elias ponders the question for a moment and then tells his father that when he used the skill on the sword, it felt like he became a bat that could use echolocation.

Alexander Harrington's eyes light up with interest as Elias describes the experience. "A bat, you say? Using echolocation to locate the imperfections in the metal? That's fascinating! I've never heard of anyone using a skill like that in blacksmithing before. It's almost as if you're using a different sense to work with the metal, one that's beyond sight and touch."
