Chapter 04: Word Magic

(I think the “Asbit Plateau” is due east of here)

Hiiro started walking towards the plateau while re the picture of the “Lucky Herb” he was shown After walking for a while, he found it rather easy It looked exactly like on the picture

It had a s all around

(Even a kid could do this quest)

It was close to the town and could be collected easily as it grew in large quantities An easy task, even for a beginner

(No one’s around here)

Looking around, he noticed that no one besides him was here Then he recited ≪Status≫ and looked at the colu it with his finger Upon that, the panel changed and showed an explanation about the ≪Word Magic≫

(So the help shows up after all when I click it This really is like a game)

Hiiro didn’t just wanted to read the help He wanted to try the ic here

If possible, he would like to avoid showing off his unique ed back to the king if he stood out, after he finally obtained freedom

(Well, it depends on the ic anyway)

If all unique ic were indeed powerful, it was quite possible that his fear caic to grasp his self, like the old woman had told him earlier

But he didn’t intend to be reckless, since there was the so-called ≪rebound≫ Hiiro just wanted to find out what his ic was, not to die here already

≪Word Magic≫ MP cost: 30

Ier and draord An effect in accordance with the ic with the pheno principles ≪Single Chain unlocked≫ refers to the possible chain length of words This ic was once ?&GR!&

For some reason the last part was corrupted and unreadable He was quite bothered about it, but he soic Still, he wouldn’t know if he was right unless he actually tried out the ic

(So it’s called Word Magic Let’s try it for now)

With that in ic power in his fingertip in the same way as in front of the old woman Before it took hihted up with ic power rather smoothly

(A word, huh… Will anything do? But since it’sthe word…)

He drew on the ground with his finger Upon that, the pattern glowed in a pale light He had written the kanji for “hard” while iine with kanji

And the ic power fro sounds like on an electric discharge

(Did that do it…?)

He knocked onto the ground It was hard Incredible hard Pretty o, it had been loose dirt without a doubt

He went around, checking the range of effect

Clonk, Clonk, Clonk…Splat

The ground was hardened in an area roughly 65m² wide

The gloord dispersed and vanished too It was quite convenient that it left no traces behind, because it lowered the likelihood of hisexposed Then he reverted it with the kanji for “Origin”

The electrical discharge happened again and the ground returned to how it had been before

(This is… ht)

Hiiro realized the incredible potential of his ownprinciples It le word

For exaave the “lucky herbs” around here the effect froave a rock the effect “split”, then it would break into two

(It can change all kind of phenoardless… Moreover)

With that in er once round Upon that, a fire suddenly broke out and scorched the grasslands The word he had written was “fire” But this tiuished after one minute

(Creating froic)

He exhaled in awe, realizing that the unique ined

Still, he was happy about the usefulness of his ic He should be able to live here without a probleic sure was handy

(But I shouldn’t forget that I still don’t know everything about it Part of the help text was corrupted and considering the output…)

He called up the ≪Status≫ again by saying so
