BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2 02 - The New Idea
The system was a traveler's primary tool, and this was Ryan's greatest weakness. It was as if he was completely disconnected from that important mana network. Once Ryan tried to learn a spell, with a scroll, just to realize that he couldn't do it. If he was just an average person, the spell would appear in his system tab.
Lying on his bed and looking up at the ceiling of his small room, Ryan Whitemane began to think about the many possibilities that could lead him to success in combat. At the time, he thought it was still almost none.
'I've tried skill scrolls, and one-use items, nothing works for me.'
He had spent the entire last year looking for a way to become stronger, a way to be able to continue studying at the Neodrazzil traveler's academy and thus be able to advance to the second year. Until in a sudden instant, a strange light appeared right in front of his eyes. As the drapes swayed, a ray of sunlight illuminated his face.
Rising to close the windows again, Ryan is faced with his answer. There was a girl playing with a dog in front of his house. She was walking the small animal, playing with a rubber bal.
"I still haven't tried summoning a creature…"
Watching that child play with his dog, Ryan remembered one of the most common forms of traveler combat. Summoning a creature. When necessary, a traveler could use a beast as support to raise their combat level. Summoning was actually pretty common in the academy, archers often need the help of a beast when they are going to fight alone, and mages and warlocks also would often summon spirits to help their solo adventures.
Ryan jumped out of his bed, put his shoes back on, and hurried out of that small apartment to return to the academy. He would go straight to the library, looking for a way to summon an ally.
'why have I never thought about it? Summoning a monster is such a simple answer, if I can't fight alone, I just need someone to fight for me.'
As his steps hit the street of the city, several possibilities flew through the young man's head.
'I could try to tame some beast puppy, but in a week it wouldn't grow... Maybe buy a beast on the black market, but it would require a monster-taming spell'
Ryan then realized an important thing.
'I'm too broke to buy a creature, I'll need to get one myself'
The possibilities were getting lower and lower, he had already tried so many different ways to become stronger, so in just a few seconds he could already recognize a possible failure.
*WUSHH
A bus stopped in front of him, Ryan narrowly managed to get on and gasped for air. Ryan for the first time in a long time managed to give a smile, he had finally set up a plan.
'I just need to make a pact'
On the way back to the academy, Ryan started reading some traveler blogs on his cell phone.
'Making a pact with an elemental spirit is the best way to get a spirit, avoid demons or angels, as a traveler without absorption skills can suffer internal organ explosion with the huge energy of a celestial creature'
Ryan's eyes widened with surprise as he slid the page down.
'When invoking a spirit, be sure to be in an environment conducive to dealing with it. We recommend that when invoking a fire spirit, the traveler be completely submerged in a lake or sea. Thus weakening the creature's blast'
"DAMN IT!" He shouted in anger, as he closed the screen of his cell phone.
All the passengers on the bus were startled by the boy's behavior.
"I'm sorry," Ryan said, as he hid behind a chair.

After a few minutes, he was back in the center of the Neodrazzil academy. Running to the library, Ryan kept trying to visualize what he could do. It would be difficult to get to any lake, and the ocean was relatively far from the city. So summoning a fire creature would be a difficult task.
"I just need to get my hands on a weaker water spirit, I offer my soul energy. I finish the pact and there will be seven more days to beef up this creature... Ok! Not the best plan, but it might work.
Finally, the young Whitemane spotted that gigantic building of marble and black raw stones, the library of the Neodrazzil travelers' academy. It was a huge building with a crystal dome on top, and the natural light entering completely illuminated those vast rows of books. In the center of the library was a circular hole with hundreds of flying shelves of books, which rotated as required by the travelers.
Gasping for breath, Ryan approached the librarian. She was a young woman with blue hair, elf ears, and a golden goggle on her face.
"Why are you always panting when you come here, Ryan Whitemane?"
Said the girl, as she brought her hand close to her face, adjusting her goggles, and giving a light and kind laugh.
"I had another idea, Liv... I think it's going to work this time," Ryan cried out, as he tried to catch his breath.
Olivia was one of the few people who understood Ryan, in fact, she felt even a little esteem for him, she liked how he was focused on becoming stronger. She didn't have such a level of power either, but it was still hundreds of times greater than Ryan's..
"I need summoning books, here is my ID"
"All right, the Wisp will take you to the bookshelf"
Suddenly, a sphere of energy flew out, creating a line of light that followed inside the rows of books in the library. Ryan followed that path, walking for minutes. He went up some stairs, then down. Until he arrived in the center of the library, at the end of that circular chasm.
