My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 48: Intelligence Attribute

"The dawn has just arrived. I should have the time, but even if I don't go, it doesn't matter much anyway," Aur casually shrugged and touched the container with the golden solution, closing his eyes.

The instant he opened his eyes, he was greeted by pitch darkness.

However, from the corner of his eyes, Aur could see the golden solution faintly gleaming while hovering in mid-air in the darkness. The container was nowhere to be seen.

Aur's eyes lit up as he willed it, and the golden solution instantly moved, creating a round path around him.

"Now let's start," he sighed. Now he had to use this golden liquid to inscribe Aur's first spell in his mental space. Although he couldn't fail in this process, it took the most time.

In the book, it was written that the spell needed a day to be inscribed for an ordinary individual.

Aur wasn't too hopeful about this, as he wasn't very intelligent to begin with.

Although he might be better at plotting, who said that you need to be smart to plot?

As a man who was already over thirty years old if he combined both his lives, he had plenty of experience to outsmart these youngsters who would have a tent in their pants the moment they saw a woman.

So, Aur didn't set his hopes too high as he sat down on the floor and closed his eyes.

He fully focused on the golden liquid, and his vision changed as he saw himself sitting on the floor with closed eyes.

He willed it, and Aur fully saw his own face, which surprised and disappointed him.

"My facial features aren't too great," Aur muttered to himself.

Although he had seen his own face countless times in the mirror, it was his first time seeing it from a third person's perspective.

Aur's vision was connected to the golden liquid and had become like a body of his now.

"Let's quickly finish the job now."

The golden solution slowly started to move in a circular shape, thinning each time it completed a loop.

By the time Aur was done, the golden solution was at least one-fifth thinner than before.

"Huh, that was quick. Let's move on to the next steps." Aur began inscribing ancient symbols and various spells inside the circle.

From his perspective, although Aur didn't know which language this was written in, it felt more like mathematics and physics. Then again, he was a college dropout, so he wouldn't know any better.

The more he inscribed, the less the golden solution became.

After fifteen minutes of cultivation, Aur's ears twitched as he slowly ended his practice session.

Seeing the cracked low-grade mana crystals, he sighed and tightened his fist, turning the low-grade crystals to dust.

"A low-grade mana crystal barely satisfies my appetite," Aur thought with a frown. "Let's exchange some low-grade mana crystals for middle-grade crystals," he mused to himself as he checked the time.

It was only 10 am, which honestly surprised Aur.

"It took me four hours just to complete this..." he said with widened eyes.

Aur went into deep thought. He wasn't that talented to be able to imprint the spell so fast.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head, and he summoned his system.

"Muscle system," Aur muttered in a hushed tone.

Instantly, a blue panel materialized in front of him.

"Is intelligence the reason for it?" Aur thought as he connected the dots.

When he first met Williama, his intelligence had seemed to drop, but somehow he resisted it and the hypnotism from that holy magic book.

Aur felt like he could resist it if he had enough time.
