Item Name: Magic Inheritance Scroll
Carried Magic: Stealing Magic (and True Lock-On Skill)
Skill Effect: Will randomly steal an item from the spell target. (Note: Due to this inherited magic having a restrictive clause, the actual casting effect will change significantly)
Actual Casting Effect: For the opposite sex, this magic will specifically steal the target's underwear; for the same sex, there is a high probability of stealing high-value items from them.
Gut repeatedly browsed the detailed description of the inheritance scroll, finding it truly difficult to bear.
Putting aside morals and integrity for the moment, Gut was quite doubtful if he could still cast Goddess Magic after mastering this "divine skill".
I just feel like learning this magic will make the Goddess dislike me.
Never mind, add points!
Although the casting effect of this magic is quite absurd, it is undeniable that Stealing Magic (and True Lock-On Skill) can definitely be called an extremely useful divine skill.
Whether targeting the opposite sex or the same sex.
After using it, it can either cause a very strong hard control effect on the target, or there is a high probability of stealing a high-value item. No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss.
It's just that when casting, it's better to wear a mask.
[Ding!]
[Item used successfully!]
[Congratulations, Host, you have mastered: Stealing Magic (and True Lock-On Skill)]
"Hmm?"
After waiting for a long time, Gut let out a surprised sound.
"It's over just like that? No stuffing knowledge into the host's brain like in web novels?"
Gut touched his head, but didn't feel anything extra appearing out of thin air.
He looked around, but didn't find any magic books or magic items appearing out of thin air beside him.
So where did the inherited magic he received go?
Suddenly, a premonition appeared in Gut's mind, making him understand the ins and outs related to the Magic Inheritance Scroll.
If it were a conventional magic inheritance, the process would be as Gut expected; the system would directly package and inject the corresponding magic knowledge into the host's mind.
However, Stealing Magic (and True Lock-On Skill) was different from conventional magic inheritance due to an extra restrictive clause.
Because to achieve the casting effect described in detail, casting knowledge of Stealing Magic alone is not enough; an essential point is also needed, which is Kazuma's destiny.
Only by combining these two can the specific effect of Stealing Magic (and True Lock-On Skill) be used.
However, one person's destiny cannot be imposed on another, so the final form of the Magic Inheritance Scroll is a state called Magic Construction.
Gut closed his eyes and focused his mind. After sensing for a moment, he found the Magic Construction carrying Stealing Magic (and True Lock-On Skill) in his mind.
This was an extremely tiny sphere surrounded and enveloped by mysterious runes.
It contained the condensed entirety of the Stealing Magic casting process, incorporated Kazuma's destiny simulated by the Power of Rules, and was finally plated with a layer of Great Dao Runes of indelible nature. Thus, a standard Magic Construction was born.
As long as Gut had the thought of casting this magic, the corresponding Magic Construction would automatically absorb magic power, quickly convert this magic power into the corresponding magic, and then release it.
By doing so, magic with the characteristics of another person's destiny could be cast without affecting Gut's destiny.
....
"That's really troublesome."
Gut, who had sorted out the casting principle, silently complained in his heart.
In any case, it was good that he knew how to release this "divine skill".
So, with itching hands, Gut reached down and pulled out his massive... holy scripture.
After a few simple casts, Gut breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although there was still some sense of blockage during the casting process of Goddess Magic, it was not a big issue.
In fact, as long as he could still cast Goddess Magic, Gut would put his hands together and silently thank the Goddess for her forgiveness in his heart.
After all, Gut did not have much piety towards deities in his heart, and even... was questioning the very existence of deities.
Affected by this mindset, Gut always felt some blockage when casting Goddess Magic. Even on the system's entry interface, Gut had a white entry called Atheist.
[Atheist (White)]
[You respect various beliefs and cultures, but you do not worship them]
[Effect: You will encounter resistance when casting any faith-based magic (e.g., Goddess Magic); similarly, anyone casting faith-based magic on you will also feel resistance.]
After confirming that he could still cast Goddess Magic, Gut carefully put the holy scripture in his hand back in its place and laughed twice at himself.
If there really was a Creation Goddess in this world, then she, who could accept him, this terrible Atheist, and allow him to normally use her power...
...then she truly was a deity full of love and magnanimity, just as recorded in the holy scripture.
......
As Gut settled down in the town of Oithaster, his peaceful life flowed by day after day like water.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this time, Gut's physical strength and magic power had improved significantly. At the same time, he also did a few good deeds anonymously every day.
It was a pity, however, that aside from that one lucky time, Gut was never able to draw a grand prize like the Magic Inheritance Scroll from the Lakukan satu perbuatan baik setiap hari task reward pool again.
He even only drew one hytrale gold coin, and its gold content was not as high as the previous larsi gold coin.
However, it was more than enough for Gut's living expenses.
The remaining rewards were either some silver or copper coins, a bottle of cola, a pack of cigarettes, or even packets of sanitary pads, which Gut had also drawn before.
They were just daily necessities anyway. As time went on, Gut no longer had those unrealistic expectations and began to treat the task rewards with a normal mindset, simply regarding them as small rewards for doing good deeds.
As for the main reason Gut came to the city of Oithaster, some clues had recently emerged.
In the town's taverns, many sharp-eared and sharp-eyed patrons had already started discussing matters related to the Mainland Magic Association;
And topics related to the legendary great Magic User Serie quickly became a hot topic for people's after-dinner conversations.
Gut absolutely didn't believe that there was no driving force behind these phenomena.
It was likely that the official announcement regarding the Mainland Magic Association would be released soon.
As expected, the subsequent development of events was just as Gut had predicted. Less than a week after the first signs of related information appeared in the city, the legendary great Magic User Serie from the mythical era, who lived in legends, personally made a public appearance and confirmed the rumors circulating in the marketplace herself.
The Mainland Magic User Association was truly established.
As a Magic User association founded by the legendary great Magic User Serie herself, Serie stated that she would grant a "privilege" to every Magic User who met her standards.
That is, to bestow upon qualified individuals the magic they most desired.
As a great Elf Magic User who had lived from the mythical era when humans didn't even know how to use magic until today, Serie herself was a magic book recording almost all magic in human history.
In this world, apart from the Goddess whose very existence needed verification, there was no being closer to omniscience and omnipotence than the Elf Magic User Serie.
Therefore, after this news was announced, no one ever questioned whether Serie could fulfill her promise.
After all, if Serie herself had not mastered a certain magic, then that magic was either a Curse or Goddess Magic.
Or... it violated the laws of magic and simply couldn't exist.
And Serie's appearance this time, besides confirming the rumors about the establishment of the Mainland Magic Association, also directly provided the specific date and location for the First Mage Examination hosted by the association.
Namely, the Oerest urban area half a month later.
At that time, a month-long Mage Examination will be held here.
After that, Serie will go to the Holy Capital Hytrale to establish the headquarters of the Mainland Magic Association there, and then hold another examination for the Magic Users in the southern kingdoms.
