Chapter 3 - Meditation (1/2)

When he arrived home, Jeremy walked back inside. Then took a long shower and sat at the table while eating dinner and watching some TV programs alone.

'Now that I've thought about it. I'm always a loner. No matter in this life or previous life, I'm always alone.'

'Maybe, the reason is that I am the one who ditches all of those people away...'

*Sigh*

Jeremy sighed depressingly.

It wasn't because he didn't want to have any friends, but because he was too strong in his later years, and his aura was too domineering for other people to act too friendly towards him.

That's why other folks decided to respect and revere him instead of befriending him. Well, who would want to be disrespectful to a great sage of humanity?

'It seems like I will have to be alone again in this life...'

'Well, come to think about it, it might be a little bit different after all because I will change some of my approaches this time.' Jeremy thought to himself.

After facing the hardship of acting alone in his previous life, Jeremy decided to create an organization that its members would be serving as his extra eyes, ears, and limbs.

He thought that creating a powerful organization was necessary to alleviate some burdens and helped free some of his time to strengthen and power up himself faster than in his previous life.

Anyway, he would still act alone most of the time, for his fighting style was always like that. He couldn't manage to have any burdens or stupid teammates at his side.

Nevertheless, this time he would have an organization to back him up whenever he wanted. That alone could relieve many of his burdens.

'Alright, let's draw a detailed map of Ortus and wrote down some future plans, ideas, and missions that I have to do and face later on.'

After finishing that thought, Jeremy buried himself inside his own world with full concentrations to squeeze out his dormant memories from inside his brain.

...

When the time hit 7 p.m., the alarm sounds of his phone rang out, signifying that it was time to eat his fourth meal of the day. Then he stood up briefly from the study table inside his bedroom and went outside to eat the meal.

After finishing his supper meal, he went back inside the room to do his regular meditation that he had done countless times when he was on Ortus.

Meditation was one of the most critical factors that had caused him to reach the Sage realm in his previous life. It tremendously helped increase the amount and density of his mana in his mana pools. It also hugely improved the effectiveness and efficiency of his brain and mind directly.

In his previous life, the first time when he realized that he had great talents for magic was when he first did the meditation.

Back then, he had compared the results of his meditation with the various meditating technique-related books.

At that time, the results really astonished him to the point of his brain going absolutely blank because when using the same time frame to meditate compared to ordinary people. He could gather more mana than those folks around 30 times.

That didn't even count the benefits to his body and mind as of yet.

Any folk or even a toddler might also be able to tell that he was born to be a great mage... no... he was actually destined to be a great sage of magic.

Heck... he might even be the only one in quadrillions of people to have this magnitude of talents.

After all, he spent only a bit more than 20 eras (Around 114 years from Earth's standard) to become a great sage, and he was stuck at the peak level of sage before his 'almost' demise.

Who could tell what he would become in the following 20 eras if he wasn't dead before that anyway?

'Hmmm... maybe those aliens had rashly formed the alliance to fight with us because of me? Nah... never mind, this time I will crush them to the ground anyway.'

Jeremy thought to himself before doing the meditation.

Then he sat on his bed in a cross-legged position and closed his eyes lightly. He then began to erase his thoughts and emotions, then he set and built up his exclusive attention and unified his mind in less than 2 minutes.

It was a feat that even an Archmage found it hard to achieve, but a newcomer like Jeremy had done it in his first time by using a body that had never done meditation before.
