Global Awakening: I created the system

47  Mana

"Wait a minute, I don't seem to be able to use mana yet!"

Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but have a headache Mana, an ubiquitous substance that appeared with the global awakening

Some call it reiki others call it mana, but all in all this was the substance that powered most extraordinary powers at the base level

In fact, back in Ye Tians previously life there used to be a popular phrase about mana

'He who wears the original glove of mana can palm the universe'

Simply put, it meant that whoever could study and control the source of mana would gain invincibility And while that might be a bit of an exaggeration since higher forms of extraordinary powers like the divine power the gods used and the demonic energy of the demons existed

This still did not retract the fact that mana was a necessity for most extraordinary items or abilities

*however whether or not mana is powerful is not the issue, rather me not being able to manipulate is the main problem here!*

Saying this in his mind Ye Tian unknowingly sighed as he couldn't believe he had forgotten such an important detail

In fact, using mana is not something particularly hard as most races in the universe know its basic manipulation methods

Heck some races are even born with the ability to manipulate it showing extraordinary strength from birth

Unfortunately, the problem was that he wasn't one of those races, rather he was a human from the blue star

And before the awakening, humans of the blue star had zero contact with mana as the blue star was completely devoid of it

Due to the current blue star humans although awakening because of mana, are unable to manipulate or store it for their own use

"But it's not like there's no way to get mana now, the issue is that if I do that then what happens next might be something even I'm not prepared for"

Murmuring under his lips Ye Tian realised he was at a dead end

First off, using his past life knowledge he knew that there were three ways for humans of the blue star to awaken mana

One by absorbing a mana stone like the one the clown got before, this would forcibly open up the mana veins in the body unfortunately it could also lead to death

20:28

Another is by getting someone already skilled at using mana to inject it into your body opening your mana veins And although this method and the first seem to be the same, this was a lot safer since the person doing it could at least ensure you don't die in the process And lastly using a mana technique to absorb mana in the surrounding air and unlock your mana veins smoothly

This method is not only a hundred percent success guaranteed, it is also the safest and most used in the universe

Unfortunately although Ye Tian had a few techniques in his mind, using them now would only bring suspicion to himself After all, how could a human who just experienced the awakening know a mana technique?

Could he be an alien that robbed a human's body? Can he see into the future? Could it be that he is a spy for the invaders?

Once he used a technique of unknown origin, Ye Tian knew he was bound to be suspicious, and while he wanted to gain attention and more audience members

That was the kind of attention he wanted

"Sigh…. It's not like somebody can just give me a mana technique as a gift or something"

Sighing dejectedly, Ye Tian was about to give up on mana and proceed to end the mission

However, just as he was about to do that his eyes suddenly lit up

"Haha gift! That's it!"

Laughing beneath his mask, An idea suddenly popped up in Ye Tian's mind

Gift! Another name for reward!

Since he had just completed all the towers missions and on an adjusted difficulty at that then wouldn't it be okay to request a mana technique as part of the reward!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian quickly stated his request before the tower issued a reward.

"Hey tower, I'd like to make a request!"

"I just used my ability to devour most of the abilities of the litch, unfortunately a lot of them need mana to be used"

"Can you make a way for me to use mana as part of the rewards, oh and also can you help give Apollo the lurches corpse and soul"

"Thanks!"

Saying this, Ye Tian crossed his legs as he sat calmly waiting for the tower's response Fortunately, the tower didn't waste too much time as it gave a reply almost immediately [it is detected that trialist Devourer has cleared all three missions]

[it is detected that mission level was abruptly increased as well as an emergency quest took place]

[re-evaluating test performance and rewards] n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Task performance: S+]

[Task rewards: origin mana technique(x1), question voucher(x3), earth return ticket(x1), lyre of light(replica), 3000 tower points, space ring (10 grids), golden ticket(x1)]

Looking at the series of responses, Ye Tian almost couldn't believe his eyes

"Amazing! Although I expected the rewards to be a bit more than last time but isn't this a bit too much?"

"If anything these rewards are almost equivalent to thirtieth floor rewards!"

Taking a another look at the rewards Ye Tian finally confirmed that what he was seeing was not a dream nor an illusion

Realising this, he couldn't help but thank the tower with a smile beneath his mask "Haha thanks tower, it seems I have to continue to perform like this if I want rewards like this"

"Hopefully more and more people will tamper with the floor levels"

Laughing about it, Ye Tian continued to joke with the tower unfortunately not once the tower respond

However for this, Ye Tian had already expected this as the nature of the tower elbit only a tiny portion had been seen through by him

And that was the nature of the tower was an inanimate structure or robot in a sense

Only following a set of programs and rules that have already been ingrained in it

This meant that the tower itself or at least the part of it in charge of giving out quests was not sentient

And as for whether the liches master the one who tampered with the floor was part of the tower or some higher being who gained some control of the towers authority

For that Ye Tian was not sure, finding this out about the tower made Ye Tian feel that it was more of the latter than the former

"However, I can't be sure of which so it's best to be prepared for both or even the slim possibility it's neither and it's actually something worse"

"And to prepare for such a scenario, I need to first digest my rewards from this floor and continue to climb other floors"

Clenching his fists, Ye Tian seemed to see himself in reaching the top of the tower in the non-to-distant future

Unfortunately before he could continue to daydream the mechanical voice of the tower suddenly interrupted his thoughts

[it is detected that the trialist has completed all missions and claimed all rewards]

[congratulations trialist on clearing the first floor and becoming an official climber]

[transporting you to your personal waiting room]

Saying this the tower didn't give Ye Tian an opportunity to object before teleporting him directly out of the first floor

................. [Personal waiting room]

"Damn! No matter how many times this happens I don't think I can get used to this forceful teleportation"

Placing his right palm on his forehead, Ye Tian couldn't help but sway a bit as he felt a bit drowsy from the teleportation just now

Luckily, thanks to his strong physique he quickly shook it off before examining his current surroundings "Hmm lets see, not too big and not too small"

"Completely white surroundings a small bed a table and a chair, and a strange smell in the air that seems to be restoring my fatigue"

Taking a look at the familiar waiting room, Ye Tian sighed at its lack of aesthetics All white? If someone had told him this was a ward for mental patients Ye Tian would believe it Fortunately, Ye Tian knew that once the tower store opened he could spend a few points to customise his space

"Oh that reminds me, neither the next floor, the tower store, or a whole lot of other options would be unlocked till everyone clears the first floor"

"Sigh.., what am I going to do till then? It's not like brought any video games to the tower"

Thinking of this, Ye Tian decided to sleep till the others finished the first floor

"Tower, shutdown live broadcast and wake me up once the first floor is over"

Saying this, Ye Tian went to bed and immediately fell at sleep

It seemed that unknowingly he had built up a large amount of fatigue
