Chapter 17 (2/2)

After that, he left home on a bike and hung around with his friends in the cold drink bar. When the night came, he crawled into the virtual cabin again and entered the game.

In the game world in the following days, Roland mined in the morning and studied new spells with the profiles of spells he obtained from the forum in the afternoon and at night.

It was not until he had real practice that Roland learned how difficult it was to pick up a new spell. Unlike the existing spells in the Magic Book, which would automatically generate a 3D graph of the magic nodes in his consciousness, the new spells offered nothing. Roland had to construct a s.p.a.ce of magic nodes with his magic power on his own, before he correctly filled the magic nodes in with his mind.

Constructing the models of magic nodes with the charts he copied alone had taken Roland a lot of time. The chart of every spell required more than ten hours and a dozen failures. It was not until he learned the new spells that their icons would appear in the Magic Book.

Then, to be versed in the new spells, Roland still had to test and infer the effects of the magic nodes.

After several days, four bright gold icons appeared in Roland’s Magic Book. After grasping the four spells, Roland reached Level 2, but he was not very happy, because he realized that there would be fewer and fewer Mages in the future.

Life for a Mage was too hard. Learning a new spell required a good sense of s.p.a.ce, understanding of math and logic, and tremendous patience.

Roland knew that a lot of people in the game must be smarter than him, but not all of them were Mages. After all, there were many cla.s.ses in this game, and different people had different preferences.

There must be a lot of Mages who were weaker than him in terms of comprehensive abilities. They would run out of patience if it took days or even weeks for them to learn a spell.

Some of them might not be able to learn new spells at all due to lack of spatial awareness or logical thinking. Even if they managed to grasp level-one spells, there were still spells of higher levels and difficulties. Would they have the patience to learn such spells?

When they noticed that Warlocks and Priests could wield powerful spells with a simple chant without having to memorize it, and that new spells automatically appeared when their levels increased, the Mages would be even more dissatisfied and would even complain.

Then, they would demand the game producers reduce the difficulty of Mages on the forum.

However, Roland did not think that their attempt would work.

After another day in the game, when Roland left the game and opened the forum, he realized that the Spellcaster Section was indeed a mess. Many Mages had posted that if the game producers did not change the setting and lower the difficulty for Mages to learn spells, they would delete their characters and ask for a refund.

Roland sighed. Things had happened exactly as he expected. It remained to be seen how the game producers would handle it.
