Everyone Else Has a System

"Now… you try it," he spoke as he helped me learn the basics of Ice Magic and nodding at him, I then tried using my mana cores to create a minute amount of Ice Mana around my hand.

Concentrating that scattered Ice Mana in a confined space, I somehow managed to create a single small ice shard the size of a single toe nail before shooting it at a distance.

The shard flew at a rapid speed before hitting the distant wall and vanishing there. I looked at him with a bit of confusion, but looking at him, it felt like he was smiling at me.

"Good. That was excellent. Normally people, even elemental takes a few tries before actually creating an ice shard that fast," he spoke before speaking,

"Since it was getting boring… I guess this would be fine for a change. So Mr. Reaper, would you like to learn Ice Magic from me and receive the Legacy of the Ice Manipulator from me?"

I looked at him for a few moments before asking,"How long will it take?"

While I did want to learn Ice Magic, the amount of time I had was really less. The max I can spare here is… about a week, I guess. Then I would need to go back outside the dungeon and prepare for my next move.

"That depends upon your learning speed, honestly. With your monstrous talent, it should take quite less than usual, though how much less… that is something that is hard for me to determine as well," he spoke, pondering about it.

I spoke with a bit of sigh,"I don't think I can spare more than a week here though… Don't know how much I can learn about here. Well, not wasting any time, let's start immediately then." At least I should take whatever I could, though he spoke as he laughed loudly at that,"What could be more important than having the chance to master a complete element, huh?" I made a small smile as I turned to him and said,"saving the planet on which I live."

At my words, he first looked at me with narrowed eyes before asking,"you don't seem to be joking about it… Hmmm… just what is going on in the outside world?"

Casually waving my hand, I answered,"Nothing much, just a bunch of aliens trying to conquer our planet."

I looked at his baffled face before he shook his head and said,"That doesn't sound like 'nothing much.' Well… looking at how desperate you sound, it doesn't seem like we have much time either."

I nodded at him as I answered,"that is why I need to hurry."

He then made an understanding nod before he moved towards me and spoke,"give me your left hand."

Though confused, I showed him my left hand and after observing my hand, especially that mark given by Lucifer when he formed the contract with me, he narrowed his eyes at me.

"You already have a contract with someone?" he asked with a serious expression, and I nodded as I spoke.

"Yeah… a remnant of someone's wishes. It's more of a deal, though."

He then closed his eyes before speaking,"well… show me your right hand."

Not minding much, I then gave him my right hand, at which he began pouring a bit of his energy. Soon enough, a diamond shaped mark formed at the centre, at the back of my hand.

"Well, since the Ice Magic wasn't rejected, perhaps the other contract with that wish guy must be a related element. You are quite lucky, honestly. If it had been a different element, forming a contract would have been impossible," he spoke, and I smiled at him.

'I wonder about that,' I thought with a smile as I asked,

"So? What does this mark do?"

He then nodded before vanishing away from my front. Then, soon enough, a small miniature elemental formed on my right shoulder. I looked at it for a few moments as he spoke.

"With this, we are connected now and I can go along with you on your journey. We will learn about Ice Magic whenever we will get time. Now then, would you like to learn about Ice Magic now, or proceed on your journey first?"

I looked at him, a bit baffled. This was actually the best option for me right now. This way I can learn Ice Magic along with continuing all my plans! "You look satisfied," the elemental spoke in a happy voice and I nodded at him as I really was.

"While I would love to learn Ice Magic right now, I guess it would be better to clear this dungeon first," I said as I tried figuring out the best way from here onwards.

He accepted my choice before sitting on my shoulders and I then proceeded to go deeper into the cave where the door to the next floor was.

One step at a time, I kept moving down. Though I wasn't wasting any of my time as I went down. During the time I was walking, I kept asking about Ice Magic from the elemental.

Though it made me wonder about something,

"Hey, what's your name, though?"

He looked at me for a few moments and spoke in a pride filled voice,"Ymir. It's Ymir."

I peeked at him with a slight smile on my face before looking forward as I spoke,"that's a really cool name."

His face started beaming with happiness and I chuckled before proceeding deeper into the cave before a gate finally appeared in front of us.

It was a giant gate made up of rocks, vines, wood and leaves with a forest visible on the other side. I then smiled before venturing deep into the gate… to the 20th floor.

Where the Nature Elemental was present. It was one of the easiest floors of the 6 Elemental Dungeons. Mostly because my Death Element could literally wipe out the entire forest at once, making it a piece of cake for me to reach the next floor.

Though…

This time..

'I wonder if things would be different.'
