I created my own system

After collapsing inside the secret library he didn't notice that his mother and the head of the wizard tower had finally returned from their journey.

"Sir Nicholas where is my son" she immediately asked finding it odd how her adorable child didn't welcome her.

"High mage your son went off to the underground library and told us not to enter. It seems he was still upset that he wasn't allowed to come with you"

A senior mage said looking a bit worried about the child.

"Alright I'll be there I should probably talk to him"

White luxurious hair and purple eyes a dazzling woman made her way towards the underground library of the tower. It was a place that used to be accessible only to the upper echelon of the tower but now her son, a mere researcher went back and forth on the secret library and no one had ever complained.

Seeing the youngest high mage looking anxious made the head of the wizard tower smirk.

"Nickolas do remember when the secret library was called the forbidden library because of the atrocious knowledge hidden in there?"

"Yes sir well time flies and now a boy doesn't even recognize the danger of the things he created using the knowledge down there"

"Let's make a bet my old friend that boy made something again"

"That's interesting alright I'm in"

Unbeknownst to the woman her son is being subjected to a childish game. Nevertheless, she hurriedly passed all the security measures of the secret library and after so many switches and turns she finally arrived at a giant black door.

"Open"

She commanded and the door opened on its own.

As soon as the door opens she immediately uses a spell to locate her son.

"Apollo!"

She said as she saw her child sitting in the middle of the library.

"Mom!"

The child's attitude turns 360 as soon as he sees his mother immediately he goes towards her.

"How is my cute Apollo"

"Mom I'm already thirteen I don't think cute is still a word applicable to me"

His mother Isabella lovingly hugged her son in return Apollo did the same he hugged her the way he could show his love but then his mother began interrogating him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was studying but I got tired and ended up sleeping here"

"Well it's already midnight way past your bedtime"

She sternly said while slightly pitching her son's cheeks.

"Let's go I'm sure you are curious about our journey"

"Let me guess Mother you failed right?"

Apollo jokingly said making Isabella pitch her son's cheeks again.

"Although we indeed failed shouldn't I at least receive some comfort from my son?"

"Well, should I sleep with Mom tonight as a form of comfort?"

He added mischievously while they walked out of the secret library.

Hand in hand the mother and son went up from the lowest point of the tower towards the great hall there the owner of the wizard tower and Nicholas were waiting for them.

"Grandpa Alger!"

Seeing the old wizard Apollo looked at his mother asking if he could go to him.

"Go on just be quick"

"Okay!"

Running towards the old wizard Apollo hugged him.

"Oh look at you it's only been just a week yet it looks like you grow a bit"

"Grandpa stop making fun of me"

[Creator did indeed grow for about 2 centimeters while creating me in the library. The excessive mana turns the creator's body better from your height to the tiniest hair in your body was enhanced]

This knowledge made Apollo chuckle a bit then Alger slightly lowered his head to whisper something to him.

"So did you make something again?"

Nicholas who was beside Alger waited for the boy's reply but then a mischievous smile escaped from the boy's face. Then instead of answering Apollo merely winked before running towards her mother.

"Hohoho... I wonder what that boy made this time"

Alger imagined seeing another doomsday missile while Nicholas thought of another miracle medicine.

"We can just ask him in the morning"

"Indeed"

.....

Inside Apollo's room, Isabella prepared the bed for him.

"Come on let's sleep now"

Patting the bed Isabella urges her son to sleep beside her.

"Okay Mom"

Putting himself to bed he could feel the warmth of his mother.

"This is nice," he thought while spreading his arm to hug her.

"You must have missed me a lot"

"It's just your imagination mom let's sleep"

Isabella just nodded holding her son in her warm embrace but unbeknownst to her Apollo wasn't sleeping, well his body was resting but his mind was actively talking with someone. It is just like how he could separate his consciousness from his body but this time he merely created a space in his consciousness where he could talk with Jeremiah.

"Jeremiah is there a way to increase my statistics?"

He started to ask upon his inquiry an emotionless voice began to sound.

[Initiating research.....]

Apollo was quite sceptical if this thing he had created could really be helpful or not.

"Why is it taking this long?"

The boy doesn't know if he is merely impatient or Jeremiah is just inefficient.

"Maybe it's just me"

[Ding!]

[Research completed! Jeremiah found 3 ways to accomplish what the creator wants.

The first is to either get an inheritance or blessings.

Here are the possible locations of either of these two...]

Apollo stared at the map marked with at least ten places.

"These are all complicated places...I can't possibly go there I'll die before I can even step there"

He began contemplating but decided to let Jeremiah continue.

[Second is for the creator to awaken his hidden bloodline and body constitution. Here are the possible solutions...

1, Complete one of the spells of Salamander Ridman, a famous wizard studying the hidden bloodline and body constitution of wizards.

2, Use the alchemic formula of Segundo Alfonso, which is known to awaken a wizard's hidden bloodline and constitution.

3, Awakened it on your own by creating a scenario where the hidden bloodline could awaken.

Possible scenario:

Get yourself killed.... almost killed...I mean..]

"I don't think the third one could work since I already experienced a near-death situation and no bloodline nor body constitution work"

[Then we shall erase number 3

The second option has these two

1, Complete one of the spells of Salamander Ridman, a famous wizard studying the hidden bloodline and body constitution of wizards.

2, Use the alchemic formula of Segundo Alfonso, which is known to awaken a wizard's hidden bloodline and constitution.]

"I think it's good enough then what's the last?"

[The last is one of the most optimistic option creator]

"Oh?...now I'm even more expectant"

[It's black magic...]

"....."

"Come again?"

[It's black magic creator...it's a type of magic..]

"Yeah I know I know but I have to look at it up before and using black magic to grow stronger would affect the mind of the user"

[It still depends on what type of black magic, creator. Jeremiah had analyzed thousands of types of black magic spells and out of it Jeremiah had synthesized dozens and came up with this option]

Apollo now was very silent for the first time he felt stupid. Obviously, there are thousands of spells under black magic and only 40% of those are considered harmful. He studied them thinking it could be helpful but realizing the consequences of using this method he gave up.

"But Jeremiah is different if I failed it doesn't mean he would too"

A smirk escaped from his lips regaining his confidence.

"Okay tell me how will it help me"

Again a voice devoid of emotions rang across Apollo's consciousness.

[Jeremiah shall extract the essence from the dead its range is currently small due to the creator's level. Each time a being dies in your proximity you will get the essence from them]

"Do I have to be the one to kill them?"

[It doesn't need to be creator]

"So the essence you were talking about was the one in Alexander Lorenz's theories?"

[Yes, but not exactly because according to the grimoire of shadows it is not exactly a soul that expels from a deceased body but the residual mana their body has. As the body decomposes the mana inside their body slowly leaves and blends in nature that residual mana is what we are going to take]

"And since it is not a tainted energy but mana instead it won't cause any negative effects on me"

[Indeed creator but mana is not the only thing we could benefit from the dead. We could also use the core of magical beasts. According to a theory beast's core is not just the materialization of a beast's magical power but it also contains their soul. According to Jeremiah's hypothesis if we could safely absorb a beast core. Creator could harness the skills of the killed beast]

Apollo began contemplating something was missing yet he couldn't tell what that was.

"Oh... right I forgot Jeremiah I don't think just mana could help me increase my statistics"

[Mana is the energy that flows in every living being it is also the most flexible energy that could be used in any kind of way. After modifying one of the ancient spells 'Conversion' Jeremiah would convert mana into another type of energy that shall enhance any of the categories inside the creator's statistics]

This time Apollo smiled feeling extremely satisfied he had expected the explanation but it still felt different hearing it being possible.

"Alright let's list down our objectives then"

[ OBJECTIVES

•First I'll be awakening my hidden bloodline and body constitution"

•Second I need to grow stronger and increase my statistics

• and that would lead to Third, with enough stats venturing any of the places on the map will be easy, I hope so]

"When I grow strong enough I should go at least one of these places having a blessing or inheritance would definitely be helpful to me"

Looking at the list in front of him he couldn't help but be satisfied.

"Alright let's call this Mission: Grow stronger"
