Alma POV 1/5

I had finally gotten the damn Mana Core! I couldn ’t use it myself because I lack Mana, or well, I can ’t use mana.

But I got this dagger artifact, I bet it can do something interesting. If I can get it to work, I could defend myself in the worst-case scenario!

But I have to first see what the heck is this dagger.

It looks rusty, but made of golden material, it does seem to emanate a very ancient presence, but it is so old it had grown incredibly weak.

It has a few blue-colored jewels stuck to it, every time I see it, I can see strange little sparks of light inside each jewel… as if there was a spiraling universe inside.

Must be just some optic illusion, there are a lot of pretty jewels back on Earth, I bet in this magic world it is not impossible for a magic jewel to make such illusion.

I wonder what kind of jewels are they? Just decoration? Perhaps water attribute due to being blue?

The dagger also has some slight lines made of bluish metal as well, giving a very beautiful, streamlined appearance. After I cleaned it from dust using a handkerchief, it is ready to be given the mana core!

It even has a little socket where you can put it inside. So I threw it in and then…

The dagger began to glow with a bright white light.

Wow…

FLASH!

Uagh! Way too bright, I would say!

The light was consuming my entire room, I got worried that it might end up calling the attention of people outside or something…

However, the light dissipated quickly after, and some guards came rushing right after!

Opening the door, they found me reading a book in the floor, very innocently!
