Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 2

The year was 2112, a hundred years after the beginning that changed the world forever. Mankind has not forgotten the things that have happened in the past and have always done as much as possible to prevent the same tragedies from happening again. On the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the magic age, governments in many countries have created festivals and many celebrations to commemorate this special day.

But not everywhere was having festivities, especially a city far from the country"s capital.

At dawn one day, the sky was dark and covered with dark clouds, no stars could be seen, heavy rain was falling, and thunder lit the night sky.

The lights in the buildings illuminated the dark streets of the rainy night, people rushed around to try to protect themselves from the rain, cars honked to show the stress of everyday life in the big city.

But there was something different from normal cities, and that was a lot of people flying through the skies wearing special uniforms that looked like guards or something. This was because, in this world, magic existed and along with magic, many other mystical things would not exist in a normal world.

This is the world where our story happens.

In a medium-sized house far from the city center, the house lights were off, which made the place look darker than usual because of the darkness of the night.

Inside one of the bedrooms, we could see a 9- or 10-year-old boy sitting on the bed meditating, surrounding him with tiny bright spots of light. These were the magic elements that existed in the world.

Everywhere in the world, there are magic elements, some had more concentration than others, the place where the boy lived, the concentration was weaker.

After a brief meditation, the boy opened his eyes, he seemed focused on the task he was doing.

"This is my last chance to become a mage, if I can"t, I"ll just be an ordinary person with no power" The boy spoke with a heavy tone, he still couldn"t awaken his powers, and his age is already it was almost advanced to an awakening. This was his last chance to try to arouse a magical element.

"According to the magic books, each element had a different color, so I need to concentrate to try to see which color stands out and recite the charm that pops into my mind."

"Again" The boy had failed many times before, he did not want to fail again as it was his last chance. He closed his eyes and concentrated as much as possible.

(Red… Blue… Green… Brown… Yellow… White… Black…) The boy was seeing too many colors, but he couldn"t identify which one was highlighted.

"Ah… Pink !!!!" The boy felt a big headache while meditating, seconds later all the colors disappeared and was replaced by pink color, he immediately started reciting the spell that appeared in his mind when everything turned pink.

A circle of magic appeared on the floor before anyone appeared, the magic circle was like a portal and brought a person.


When the boy finished reciting the spell, he opened his eyes, what he saw shocked him as it was another child, but she had many heavy wounds all over her body, her clothes were covered in blood.

The boy was shocked when he saw this scene and was desperate, he did not know what to do. It took a while to calm down, and quickly took clean water in the bucket and began cleaning the girl"s injuries.

When her clothes were removed, the boy realized that the other side was a girl, he felt sorry for her because he didn"t understand why anyone injures a child that way.

After cleaning the wounds and blood, the boy saw that the girl was beautiful, her skin clear, long and blue hair, thin eyelashes, straight nose, thin and delicate lips, she was like a porcelain doll, he had no malicious thoughts looking at this scene. The boy was very pure and innocent.

Cofff… Cofff… Cofff…

The girl coughed an amount of blood when she opened her eyes, it showed that she was still quite injured.

"Are you ok?" The boy spoke in a desperate voice, he didn"t know what to do at that moment, he even forgot about what he was doing before.

"Yes…" The girl couldn"t move straight, even though she realized she was naked, despite the shame of having someone of the opposite s.e.x see her body, the girl didn"t worry about it at the moment, but her face didn"t stop blush because of shame.

"Do you need anything?" The boy asked worriedly.

"Where am I?" The girl turned and saw that the boy was looking at her with worried eyes.

"You"re at my house," the boy answered casually, he didn"t get the question straight.

"I see ..." The girl sighed, she finally realized where she was after looking at the room.

(It seems that the magic circle that appeared in front of me was a summoning gate, and I was summoned by this child. He really is very lucky, and me too, if not for that, I would be dead ...) The girl sighed internally.

"Are you cold?"

"No, the blanket is enough for me. By the way, are you a mage? "The girl asked, she was curious to know about it.

"No, I haven"t awakened my primary element yet… But I"m happy to be able to help a girl who was so injured. How can anyone injure a beautiful girl like you? "The boy answered innocently and sincerely.

"Do you think I"m beautiful?" The girl asked embarra.s.sedly, she saw that the boy did not have a perverted or sinister look when he looked at her. He had only a pure and innocent look.

"Yes, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen" The boy answered honestly, He"d never seen a girl the same age as his so beautiful before.

"Can we sleep together? I"m scared after the things that happened to me. "The girl said, she was just scared of the things that happened before she entered the magic circle, she did it because she was happy with the boy"s words and care.

"Yes, I"ll get some clothes so you don"t get cold" The boy took some clothes from the closet and dressed the girl, they both looked at each other before bed.

The two were holding hands while sleeping, the boy did not know that there were several bright lights in the room. The room looked like a starry sky.

The girl was open-eyed looking at the boy who was sleeping soundly, she brought her pink face close to the boy and lightly kissed his lips.

The lights in the room grew much brighter after the kiss, the girl"s injuries began to recover at an extremely fast speed. She had a shocked face when she saw this scene, but the girl didn"t think about it too much, she just closed her eyes and slept, as if what just happened was nothing.
