My Muscle System in the Mage World

The footsteps of two people resounded in the empty mine as they slowly made their way deeper into the place. Illuminated by the light, everything was crystal clear in front of them.

Finally, after a long journey, they reached the end of the mine.

The rough patches of the mine were visible, and the mana here was very thin. If wizards used their power here, their spell power would decrease.

This was because all the mana in the surroundings was compressed into the mana crystals embedded in the walls.

There were two ways to create mana crystals: one was to slowly condense a wizard's mana using a complicated method, and the other was through natural formation in these mines, where the mana was compressed and naturally formed into crystals.

In this process, all the mana was absorbed into the crystals, causing the surrounding area to thin out. The older the mine, the more mana was compressed.

The mine in front of Aur was a middle-grade mana crystal mine, an invaluable resource that even the village didn't have.

If they could get such a mine, the overall strength of the village might improve, and reaching tier four would be possible with enough talent and hard work.

However, Aur didn't come here for these mines.

"Lord, what are we doing here?" Talia asked curiously.

Aur glanced at her and didn't speak, going to the side of the wall and lightly punching it.

Rumble!

The cave started to tremble with the might of his fist while small debris and dust began to fall from the ceiling.

Aur's crimson pupils were calm as he slowly went towards another wall and lightly punched it again.

The rumbling of the cave sounded again, and the wall lay flattened.

Talia looked apprehensively at Aur.

"Is he trying to collapse the mine?" Her face paled at the thought.

Aur didn't know what these girls were thinking and went to another rough surface of the wall where mining didn't seem to have progressed much compared to the other places.

He casually punched the wall.

Boom!

This time, the wall punctured with his punch, creating a wide gap.

From this wide gap, a purple light shone out.

"Let's go inside," Aur said, his eyes lighting up.

Talia looked at Aur's back, hesitating before gritting her teeth and following him.

Soon, they came to a room filled with purple light.

The room was empty except for a purple stone at the centre suspended in air.

"This stone seems to be similar to the purple stone I gave to the lord," Talia thought, her eyes widening.

"Come with me," Aur's cold voice commanded, and the girl instinctively followed him.

He produced the purple stone from thin air, the same one she had just given him, and pressed it against the similar purple stone in the room.

The purple light intensified, shining with an eye-blinding brilliance that forced Talia to close her eyes. Even Aur was momentarily affected by the blinding radiance.

After a short period, the purple light finally dimmed, revealing what lay before them.

The two purple stones had merged, and a transparent crystal had appeared.

Aur stared intently into the crystal, where a strange pattern of a heart floated in the air, suspended and shimmering.

"There is no presence, but the power of these spells should be…" he mused, recalling the vision he had seen.

"Lord?" Talia's voice suddenly startled Aur.

"What is it?" Aur asked, a frown creasing his face.

"What is that?" she pointed at the crystal, her eyes wide with curiosity like a newborn's baby.

"That is a spell, a very powerful tier-six spell," Aur explained.

"Tier-six spell? What is that?" Talia asked, her eyes filled with curiosity like an innocent child.

Aur didn't reply. He wasn't here to educate these girls about the world. Instead, he slowly started to walk, step by step, towards the crystal.

Just as he was about to touch it, a woman with a hollow blue structure appeared.

She was dressed in seductive clothes that barely covered her essential parts, with a tail growing from her back and a horn protruding from her head.

Her dainty figure and a slim figure ignited a conquering desire in men.

"A Succubbus?" Aur's eyes narrowed. His body was instantly stimulated, his hormones awakening, and something inside him stirred.

Indecent thoughts filled his mind as he stared ahead, falling into a trance.

"Leave this place and never come back here again," the woman said in a light tone. Aur, still in a trance, turned back and left, leaving Talia alone in the room.

After he went away, a smile appeared on the woman's face as she snapped her fingers, instantly awakening Talia from her trance.

"What is your name, little girl?" the woman asked.

"My name is... Talia!" Talia exclaimed, startled when she saw the demon-like woman.

"Oh, you have the bloodline of the Succubbus inside you, which is perfect for my inheritance," the woman noted.

"What inheritance? Where is the lord?" Talia asked, looking around nervously.

"You mean that bug? I sent him back. With the bloodline of the succubus, all men are just tools for us to power up, remember," the woman said with a scowl on her face.

"I don't know what the bloodline of the succubus means, and I don't want to have it," Talia said nervously, trying to leave.

"Wait, little girl. If you are able to gain my inheritance, you will gain power enough to rule this world, have a lifespan of thousands of years, and—"

"I am not interested," Talia said firmly, decisively leaving the place.

Although the woman's voice seemed sincere, Talia knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Their status as slaves might finally be lifted, but Talia didn't want trouble, no matter how tempting the offer.

"You," the woman's voice grew colder.

Talia felt a chill run down her back, she started to run but with just a snap of this woman's finger she involuntarily fell in trance again.
