Master Of None



The arrival of a spatial mage and his assistant along with guards made a lot of noise throughout the camps. The angels that could not rest within the embassy had set up large tents to rest and work in. It would be months to work on things and build a city around the embassy. On top of that there was also the looming issue of the corrupted city floating away slowly but surely. 

These issues meant that the united angels would be working here constantly. Therefore, they had already planned spaces for certain things. This caused the Genesis forces to begin moving and help here and there. Their main goal to understand the angels better and to also allow those that had openly shifted to their side to learn from them as well. 

The reason that the spatial mage arriving had made a buzz was that the Genesis forces had heard about how Walker had somehow gotten spatial magic scrolls. Some that moved an entire mansion to Genesis city and also that he had more weaker scrolls that were attempted to be copies. 

These scrolls were the same as treasures, but the knowledge gained by those with applicable skills to copy them was more valuable. Even though the copies had been poor or failed, they had been made. This had been a massive boon because many future generations could learn from them and even potentially awaken systems more related to spatial magic in genesis. 

But this was just one reason. The other was the large space moved so that the rune formation of spatial magic teleportation. The space that everyone had to move away from was so that a massive building could be made. 

The idea that different groups would be able to teleport one day between continents was hard to grasp for many. But it meant that there would need to be a building that facilitated that. People to guard it against those who would use it criminally. People to register travelers. Others to be able to handle the merchants and their goods. A great many more reasons to have a large space as well. 

Other than that, the rune formation was still unknown. Nobody knew how large it would be or how many mages would be needed to potentially create it. The building would need to be able to house those that managed these things along with repair or improve them. 

The ideas that they would also need to be able to store spatial mana in crystals or other means came to light. But Walker knew that could come later. He could ask the wandering blacksmith to create some unique mana gems that would be able to store spatial mana. It might require unique materials, but that was an endeavor for later. 

For the moment, the tent that Walker and Ezra had been guided to with his guard was full of tables documenting many things. Specifically Ezra's studies and his current ideas on making a spatial rune to teleport things. 

Walker only had to look at the rough spatial rune for a moment to use his all around appraisal skill. 

'Broken space rune

While this rune has been repaired by a spatial researcher, it only works at one thousandth of its prior abilities. This rune is only able to transport small objects similar to the size of an apple around a very isolated and controlled space. It has a high degree of error causing it to accidentally teleport the small objects within other objects and cause small explosions. It can also cause damage to the space around that will force mana to be drawn near it and repaired. It is not permanent damage since the world naturally heals itself with the flow of nature.'

The all around appraisal of the rough space rune proved to be a broken space rune. Even though Ezra had repaired it, he had no idea that it was still this bad. "So, that is the all around appraisal of your rune. I'm sorry to say, but it is only one thousandth of what it used to be as a whole space rune." 

Now this was shocking. Ezra had believed he had made some extremely low tier spatial rune from a damaged spatial rune. Itn was clear in his eyes that he had researched the proper direction of repair. Yet, he had so many issues, not because of his inexperience, but because of the rune itself!

"There's no way that this has been an issue since I began! The research, the mana that I sensed. It was there. I have the ability to create this rune and guide it with my mana and the spatial mana I can sense!" 

"But what if I was… no, I should be able to optimize functions the more I can manipulate spatial mana. What if I managed… no the form was not proper. That caused a breakdown and destroyed a whole wall." 

Walker watched as Ezra fell in to what anyone would call a downward spiral. He would have been able to help Ezra, but the guard responsible just shook his head and pointed at the next few things that Walker could read. 

The journals that had notes about the broken space rune were very detailed. They were even more detailed than many of the documents that Walker had read elsewhere. It more than proved the title of research empire that the Fel empire boasted. 

However, as he read, he found that mana was spoken about as an individual thing. That spatial mana could be gathered alone and did not need to interact with other manas. This was very similar to the way that dragons and specifically, Rize empire angels thought. 

"It seems like the Fel and Rize empire are exactly the same but with a little difference in what they think is important." Walker sighed. He knew this already but it was constantly reinforced in every aspect that came with the older angels. Especially here in the research that only focused on the importance of the spatial mana over all other mana. 

"What do you mean!? All manas exist, sure, but spatial mana is the most important. Because it exists, we can exist. There are things like your body that take up space. The entire world we exist in is in space. Without spatial mana then what would hold it all together? Huh?" Ezra ranted a little before going back to the broken space rune and pouring over it with even more rants. 

Regardless. Why do you limit yourself? You need to take in to account how spatial mana manipulates everything around you. Especially when you want to move things. Do you think that with spatial mana you can just move a body that has all elemental manas and other manas within it? If you can't take in to account the manas within whatever is being transported then it's expected that it might, I don't know, explode?" 

Walker's words hit hard. They were the same as when the Fel empire angels above Ezra had ridiculed him for being stuck on a rune that was only partial before his breakthroughs. But this was the kind of fuel he needed. This kind of anger and fuel was exactly what he was in need of. Now he could research and prove Walker wrong with a breakthrough that even Walker's all around appraisal might not see coming. 

"I see you caught on to what makes Ezra work better. He is very competitive sometimes. He will start working a little better. But how do you intend to use his research?" The guard was a little impressed. He could tell that Walker had worked with hard headed people before. Especially those with different opinions. 

If anyone were to tell the Guard that both the empires he grew up knowing to be harsh enemies would come together, he would have laughed then mentioned a futile dream. Now, he wondered just what this kid was all about. How someone like this could just appear out of thin air with so much knowledge and power that he could throw entire empires up on their heads. 

"One of my party members is an alchemical brawler. She fights and uses alchemy the same way. Hard to make her do anything but if you challenge her, she will come back double as strong to beat you back. With her fists or with her alchemical knowledge. I guarantee you will believe me when you see her potions." Walker chuckled while wondering what magical things Remey would come up with now that she had gained insight in to natural mana and nature alchemy. Only time would tell. 

Focusing back on the research, Walker began to take a grasp on spatial mana a bit more. Ezra had detailed his feelings while manipulating it and the effects on his body, the perfect information for Walker as he was now.
