Erotic RPG: I am in the Game world, But My Heroines are Villainesses

While you are thinking about things in the future, what are the things you should consider?

How would you behave in the future, how would you make your choices, and which road would you take?

Would you be able to answer those questions about yourselves?

And the hard thing while predicting someone else's future behavior is that you need to know that person well, as well as what kind of situation they would be in.

You need to know all those things, and according to them, you can predict those person's behavior in the future.

"Welcome, my son. Took you long enough."

The moment I heard that voice coming inside from the barrier, I immediately understood that Father predicted all those happening.

"You must be pretty confused right now, and seeing you are able to come inside the barrier without any resistance or whatever, I can safely say that you finally managed to get your class. If that is the case, then I am probably no longer in this world anymore."

I heard Austin's voice coming again. And when I turned my head, I could see a panting Austin in the wall.

However, there is one weird thing about that panting. It is the fact that Austin's mouth is not stagnant but moving around like talking.

"From the looks of it, you finally managed to answer some of the questions in your head on your own. As expected of my son. You really are quick-witted. Then, you might be wondering, how did I know the secret about your class? Or did I really predict my death?

I don't have a definite answer to those questions. I pretty much knew my life was getting shorter and shorter. You see, the more you advance in your life of magic, the more you can probe into the secrets of this world. Then, for me, what did I see?

I saw the strings of fate. The strings of fate that bounded people. And the stronger they were, the bigger their lifespan was. And from all those strings, I was able to predict my death coming closer and closer, although I didn't know whose hands it would be from.

All of those may look like nonsense to you, but the more you achieve higher lengths in your way of magic, the more you realize what I meant by these words.

And the thing about your future. Well, the strings of fate that bound to you were different from any other people I have ever seen. They do not exist. It is weird, right? How come I wasn't able to see the strings of fate that bound you? And the answer I came up with was that they should have been a lot stronger than my eyes. They should have been more sacred than any other. Because of that, I wasn't able to see them. At least, that's what I thought. Then, wouldn't that also mean your fate was something big? You are a person destined to become great in the future, so how come you are classless? That was the reason why I never lost my trust in you.

Then, you must be thinking about why I called you here right now, and you must have some predictions in your mind. You probably think it is related to the magic of our household, don't you? If you are, then you are right on the point.

Why do you think I have never taught anything about our household's magic to you? Because, without accessing any type of mana, you would never be able to understand the essence of it. You could never understand the way our lightning behaves.

You need to use magic first and experience it beforehand to be able to understand the way of our magic. That was the reason I didn't teach anything about our thunder magic to you. You need to see it on your own, experience it on your own, and learn it on your own.

The moment you leave this place, you will no longer be the same person you used to be as a magician. From this point on, you will be a magician of Augustride lineage.

At this point, you should have understood which method we will use."

The painting on the wall kept talking with a smile on his face. Just as I explained, Father had already predicted his death as well as my future to some extent.

Then, the method he was talking about must be the Astral Consciousness method.

While I was learning about magic and getting my blessing, you remember I entered a dream world, right? The fact that I could learn how to use magic or how to absorb Aether was because of this technique. I subconsciously used it.

This technique is pretty much simple. With the help of some external factors, a person can separate his consciousness from his body and send it to another place, and in that place, the sense of time or anything would be a lot different than normal. And this state is heavily sensitive and mostly used for learning new techniques as efficiently as possible. The complexity of our household's magic and the way it has been taught seems to require this technique.

While I was thinking like that in my mind, I heard the panting start talking again.

"Yes, you are right. Astral Consciousness. We will use that method to make you understand this method as fast as possible. This is a record painting made by one of the best magic engineers in the academy, and after the training is finished, it will destroy itself. So, we don't have too much time left. Let's begin right away."

The painting stopped right at this moment, and a couple of postures were shown to me. How to position myself, how to expand my consciousness, everything was written on the letters that were floating in the air.

"The letters you are seeing right now are the instructions to enter the Astral Consciousness state. Although they are there, it won't be enough to just enter it by doing all those things. You need to figure out your own state on your own; they are just there to make it easier for you. I know you can do it, son. Just as you always did."

Seeing those letters and hearing those words of encouragement, I sat there just as the words instructed me and started focusing on my consciousness.

While meditating, what is the most important thing?

To answer this question, it is probably emptying one's mind and keeping it simple and just focusing on one thing.

And this was what I did when I took the lotus position. The moment I took it, I started focusing everything on the feeling of my consciousness.

When I say it, I know it was a bit weird. How do you focus on your consciousness?

This is the important part. I don't know how I did it. I just did it, simply without knowing how.

Sometimes you would breathe even without knowing you are breathing, but when you actually realize the process, you would somehow mess it up, right? This is exactly how it was for me.

Anyway, after focusing everything on my consciousness, I started separating it from my body. It was like spreading your mana sense, but you are not trying to sense the mana particles around you, but the soul projection of everything around you.

In a sense, you are trying to enter the astral plane while using your consciousness as a base.

And this is exactly the hardest step of this technique. Entering the astral plane while not losing the connection you had with your body or with your own consciousness.

I kept trying and tried and tried. Since I didn't have anything I could make reference with while doing that, I didn't know how to do it and just blindly stepped up. Like a baby trying to crawl for the first time, clumsily, I did everything I could.

And at some point, I figured out one thing. I was very close to separating my consciousness. I could feel it since my control over my body was getting lighter and lighter.

Taking this feeling as the basis of my actions, I started fastening this process, and at some point, I managed to separate it. Separating my consciousness from my body.

This feeling itself was surreal. I mean, some sort of projection of yourself is floating in the air, but your body is actually there, not moving at all, just waiting like some sort of statue.

And the moment I managed to separate my consciousness, I heard a sound in my mind.

"Welcome to the astral plane, my child. From this point on, your real training begins."

The moment I heard the voice of my father inside my head, the first thing I felt was the feeling of getting sucked into the panting.

Yes, literally. I felt like getting sucked into the panting like some sort of vacuum or vortex, whatever you call it.

And the moment I 'opened my eyes' or should I say opened my senses, the scene that welcomed was something else…
