My Muscle System in the Mage World

Aur consumed himself in knowledge, unaware of the conspiracy happening outside—the countless power schemes against each other forming a deeply intricate spider's web.

The power dynamics were too complex, but Aur didn't care. For him, all he needed to do was focus on self-improvement. Only when he had the strength and a solid foundation to rely on could he talk on equal grounds; otherwise, his life would always be in the hands of others.

It's not like he disdained an ordinary life; actually, he longed for one where he could have a loving partner and spend the rest of his life with them, raising a daughter and a son. That would be an ideal life for him.

But that was an option he had already left far behind. As he grew stronger, there would naturally be conflicts of interest and violence. Aur had already chosen his path, and there would be no falter in his heart.

After what seemed like an eternity of carefully reading the records, he finally walked out silently, bowing respectfully to the books. Knowledge was something that should always be respected, and Aur always respected it, for these books were his teachers, and he must respect them in due time.

After walking out silently, Aur opened his parched lips.

"Stella."

"Yes, Master," Stella appeared, speaking in a mechanical voice.

"I have found a way to open my mental space," Aur spoke lightly.

"What is that, Master?" She said, with shock in her eyes.

Countless wizards have tried repeatedly to artificially create Mental Space, but all of them have failed. Well, some of them actually succeeded, but only as a failure.

When every single technique of them were used in Mortals, the Mortals did gain a new extra mental space; however, some couldn't be gradually upgraded while breaking through.

Some faced the issue that mana couldn't be accumulated in the mental space, rendering it useless. In some cases, spells couldn't be refined, and there were more and more problems that couldn't be escaped, even if they tried to artificially create wizards.

No one in the records of the sect had ever succeeded in doing it. Even when multiple masters at the Tier Eight Wizard realm tried, they still couldn't reach perfection. The defects of creating an Artificial Mental Space were simply too many.

Mental Space was a very complex object that countless wizards throughout the centuries couldn't accomplish.

It was believed that Mental Space was connected to the soul, and if externally connected, it would naturally be rejected. It was like taking over someone's body perfectly which has been accomplished till now.

"Maybe that Human Emperor could do it, but... Master Aur?" Stella's eyes were filled with doubt, doubt beyond words.

If Aur was compared to one of her previous masters at the Tier Eight wizards or even a simple ordinary Tier Six wizard, whether it was in the basic mastery of Magic or combat power, everything he had was inferior.

"What makes him think so?" With confusion in her eyes, Stella silently followed Aur. She had already gained sentience, but Aur had become the master of the world. Whether she liked it or not, she had to wholeheartedly serve him.

Slowly they came towards the greenery. Aur looked up at the sky with dazed eyes, his fist tightened: "Can I do it?" he muttered in his heart.

In the future he saw, the mental space he had created using the Tier Seven spell was actually a defective piece.

But Aur didn't want such a defective piece; he wanted a complete and authentic Mental Space that was better or even greater than naturally created Mental Space.

For that…

"I need your help, system," Aur mumbled in his heart as he called out: "Muscle system."

The blue panel flickered in front of him, listing all his attributes.

"If this works, even then I might only have a low-grade Mental Space."

Aur looked at the specific section with a scowl.

Storage space: 0.26/3 cubic metre

"Can I even increase its space to make it bigger? If I can do that, then maybe I can have a chance to create a Supreme or even bigger mental space." Thinking of this, Aur started to fiddle with the system but couldn't find anything after a long time.

"I only have one option then—to gain mastery in Space Magic," Aur thought to himself. Even if he could create it, the mental space would be too small for him, and what he needed was a supreme-grade mental space.

"Do you have any spatial stones in the storage?" he asked lightly.

"Yes, we have a kilo of it."

"Give it to me," Aur silently looked ahead.

The void slowly distorted, revealing a purple stone in front of his eyes.

Aur silently walked over and touched it, then closed his eyes silently.

Stella looked at Aur silently as well, her eyes full of curiosity.

At this time, Aur was using his mist blood and Qi to stimulate the space stone.

A strange frequency wave was released by this stone, and Aur distinctively remembered all these waves and patterns to make sense of it.

Understanding space was as equally difficult as understanding Time. While Aur had a time magic spell, he wasn't lucky to have a space magic spell. Well, there was some Space Magic spell, but he didn't have a Mental Space to use this Space Magic spell.

So, all Aur could do was use a grudgingly slow process to understand one of the most complex magics: Space Magic.

After an hour, Aur finally stopped. He looked at his system and completed his daily quests. Then he directly applied them to his life level, one of the most important attributes that truly helped him accomplish things he couldn't.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Aur continued the arduous process of comprehending Space Magic and completing the daily quest every 240 hours.

This continued for what seemed like an eternity, and time passed in the blink of an eye.
