Chapter 5 - Shocking Discovery (1/2)

Like that, another 20 days passed by...

Jeremy's body and mind were improved tremendously by doing meditation every day.

Today was also like the past 51 days for Jeremy. He was doing meditation like he always did.

However, something unbelievable was going to commence soon...

After 3 hours of continuous meditating, Jeremy suddenly felt an anomaly within the vicinity of his body.

That was...

He actually felt that there was a single particle of energy going past his body...

That thing, that single particle of energy, was something that shouldn't be presented here at all.

No... it shouldn't even exist at all in this world...

It was a microscopic particle of energy that had a size smaller than 1 nanometer.

Its size was several times smaller than the smallest size of a virus known to men in the present time. The size of which surprisingly was reaching the size of an atom. It was an energy particle that had the properties of a semi-living thing that had the capability of allowing a mortal to attain immortality.

It was in itself one of the most miraculous and phenomenal existence in the entire universe.

Even a god might not be called 'God' anymore if they lacked this energy particle.

It was a thing called by the majority of people on Ortus as... Mana.

This time, Jeremy almost lost his cool and nearly broke out of the meditation. Even a sage who had meditated for his entire life might lose his composure from the discovery of mana particles on Earth.

Thus, he tried his best to reel in that particle of mana into his body.

The process of attracting mana particles into one's body might be arduous for a newcomer wannabe mage but not for Jeremy. He was, after all, a former great sage who always played and lived with mana his entire life.

Just like that, the mana particle was being guided slowly into his body by using the meditation techniques method.

Even though it was only a single microscopic energy particle to even exist, which was most likely undetectable by most mages, and didn't even have to mention the process of pulling in that single particle into their bodies.

That was an impossible feat that was deemed unachievable by most people.

But for Jeremy...

It was only classified as a moderately challenging process. Jeremy only had to spend a little effort to successfully pull that energy particle into his body's pores.

Upon entering his body, Jeremy felt a shudder when his body came in close contact with that energy particle.

He felt that it was the finest and purest mana he had ever come into contact with in his entire life. Even when he was a sage, he had never seen such a pure mana particle before in his life.

If he had to rate or score between the mana, he could attract now and in his previous life. He would give it 9/10 ratings of when he was a sage, compared to this single mana particle which would definitely receive 10/10 ratings from him.

After guiding the mana within his body into his brain, he controlled and circulated it within his brain's Thalamus, which in modern science, had the responsibilities of relaying sensory and motor signals and regulating consciousness and alertness of the human body.

Right after around 3 minutes, the mana particle started to dissolve and began fusing into his brain thoroughly, leaving nothing behind, except for the aftertaste of coming into contact with mana.

”Haaaah...”

Jeremy exhaled a long breath.

'What a thrilling experience. And how is it even possible for mana to exist within this world...'

When he had finished all of the processes, Jeremy thought to himself and ensured that the mana particle had successfully merged with his brain.

'D*mn... everything happened so fast that I almost lost my cool and almost missed a chance to become a mage. If I had not reacted composedly in time, I might have regretted the incident for the rest of my life.'
