Chapter 22：Sea of Consciousness (1/2)

10 days later...

Within Jeremy's house basement.

Currently, Jeremy was sitting on a chair in front of a working bench while cutting some bits and parts of the trees that he had collected from the ancient trees since weeks ago.

If one took a look closely at him, they would only see that Jeremy was cutting, splitting, trimming, and carving those wooden parts randomly.

However, if that same person took a look carefully at the working bench in front of Jeremy, they would see that the bits and parts of countless trees were orderly placed in a straight line. Well, if they had to count those pieces, they would be accounted to more than 500-600 pieces in big and small size.

As for how those pieces looked like when they were placed on the table. One could only say that, if they were to be accounted separately, every piece of them would look really random. However, if they were to be combined with one another, it would be as if they could become a long staff of more than 170 cm in length.

And exactly that...

Jeremy's real purpose of cutting so many pieces from various trees, was to create a staff for himself.

Speaking of the way to create a staff, the method that Jeremy had chosen to combine and craft the staff was 'Enchantment'.

Enchantment was one of the many auxiliary branches of Magic System, and it was actually one of the most important branch at that.

As for the reason, it was because Enchantment was the only way for the feeble mage to craft a magical item for their own use.

Of course, there were also many exceptions to that. For example, a mage who learned how to smith instead of Enchantment. That way, the mage needed to learn a secondary class as a Blacksmith, and they must have quite a decent fire affinity at that, to be able to create a magical item without using the Enchantment method.

There was also another example of when a mage learn a secondary class as a Crafter, Tailor, Mechanic, etc.

However, all those secondary classes required much more patient, dedication, and requirements than using Enchantment method of which by using the Enchantment method, the mage didn't need to learn a secondary class and didn't need to complete many requirements as those methods.

That's why Jeremy had chosen the Enchantment method as the way to craft his weapon, the staff.

'Finally, the last piece is done...' Jeremy thought to himself after finishing the last part of the staff.

Then he placed the part at the top of the 'staff', the piece actually looked like an ordinary toothpick with a bit of curve here and there. But when it was placed at the top of the 'staff', it surprisingly looked harmonious and concordant with the rest of the pieces.

He was currently admiring and checking the beautiful pieces of art that he had spent more than 10 days of arduous work to finish.

Thereafter, Jeremy brought out a furless animal leather doormat from under the working table the size of 2x3 meters, then spread it on the floor. It was the thing, he had ordered from Amazon several days ago.

Then he started to bring the pieces of the 'staff' down placing them piece by piece on the doormat.

He did the job very carefully, not to miss or misplace any piece, or else his staff might be crippled in the Enchantment process.

Afterwards, with the last piece being placed on the doormat, he brought out a dazzling round golden orb the size of 5 cm in diameters with the weight of around 4 kg from his backpack situated on the working bench.

Thus, it was now reflecting the beautiful yellow dusk like ray from the light bulbs on the basement's ceiling into every direction causing the walls in the basement to shine in a light yellow color.

Right now, even Jeremy who was looking directly at the orb on his right palm in a fascinating expression, his ice-cold eyes was radiating its yellow light halo.

One of the purest gold on Earth, it was just that mesmerizing and captivating...
