Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Magic Arena, test

"So, what exactly are you working on?"

"I'm developing a new game."

With no reason to keep it secret, Nate explained the concept of 'Magic Arena'. It would bring together mages from across the continent in a virtual network where they could duel using their magic without worrying about killing their opponent or being killed themselves.

Victors would gain ranking points and climb the leaderboard, while losers would have to keep practicing. At the end of each season, participants would receive rewards in the form of Magic Net points, depending on their rank. Those who made it into the top ten would earn the prestigious title of "Ten Wizard Saint," which would be displayed permanently under their Magic Net username.

For Nate, the idea seemed fairly ordinary—just something that came to him naturally. But for Lucy, it was nothing short of revolutionary. The flurry of new terms and concepts left her wide-eyed and speechless.

"That's... amazing!" she exclaimed. "It sounds like so much fun! You're saying I can compete with mages from all over the continent without even leaving my house? The Magic Net can really do something like that?"

Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed at Nate, full of admiration.

Suddenly, Lucy's expression turned mischievous.

"So, I really helped you a lot, huh?"

Nate could easily tell what this spoiled young lady was thinking just from her expression. Deciding to play along, he nodded. "Yeah, I owe you big time."

"How do you plan to thank me?" Lucy asked eagerly, her face filled with anticipation. "Can you grant me a small wish?"

She even made a tiny gesture with her thumb and forefinger, as if to show how small her request would be.

Nate chuckled to himself. 'A finger-sized wish, huh?'

"Alright," Nate agreed.

"How about waiving my 16 million debt...?"

"Request denied!"

"Why?" Lucy pouted, clearly displeased. "You just said you'd do it! Where's your credibility?"

"Next request," Nate said, giving her a sideways glance. Sixteen million was a massive sum, at least for Lucy. While Nate didn't particularly care about the money, he wasn't willing to give up the excuse of having her cook for him under the guise of debt repayment.

"Hmm... let me think."

After a moment of serious thought, Lucy still couldn't come up with a suitable request.

Seeing her struggle, Nate offered a suggestion. "You seem pretty hung up on me seeing you naked before. How about this—I'll let you see me naked to make it even?"

"Who wants that, you idiot!?" Lucy shouted, her face flushed with embarrassment as she ran off, leaving behind one final remark: "You owe me a favor, Nate! I'll claim it when I think of something, and no backing out!"

Nate chuckled to himself. Lucy's reactions were always so amusing. Was that why he enjoyed teasing her so much?

Shaking off the thought, Nate refocused on building the 'Magic Arena' framework. His Thought Projection had already completed most of the work. Now, with Nate taking over, he figured he could finish it within a day.

...

Coding was a tedious task, and before Nate realized it, evening had arrived.

Back at the guild, everyone had taken a liking to Wendy. Levy had eagerly assumed the role of tour guide, showing Wendy and Carla around Magnolia during the afternoon. She even invited them to stay at the girls' dormitory for a few days.

Wendy loved the lively atmosphere of Fairy Tail, even though it could get a bit noisy at times. She agreed to stay, and Carla, of course, had no choice but to follow.

By evening, Wendy had made several new friends, including Nate.

Meanwhile, in his apartment, Nate typed the final line of code, completing the 'Magic Arena' client.

The client was just a front-end interface for now, primarily to introduce the game's mechanics. In the center of the screen, the words 'Magic Arena' were displayed in large, stylized font. Below that, there was a matchmaking button, allowing players to queue up and be randomly matched with opponents of similar rank.

"The client is done. Now all that's left is... the battle arenas."

Nate smirked. Creating a few battle maps would be easy, especially with his absolute control over the Deep Web.

Just as he was about to dive into the Deep Web, a notification popped up.

[User "Celestial Spirit King" has sent you a friend request. Accept?]

"Huh?" Nate blinked in surprise. 'The Celestial Spirit King?'

Was this for real?

Unfortunately, the Magic Net didn't have a tracking feature. Otherwise, Nate would have loved to know where this "netizen" was logging in from. Curious, he clicked "Accept."

Soon after, a message arrived.

Celestial Spirit King: "Young one, your magic is quite intriguing."

Celestial Spirit King: "Cross-world communication with no barriers—I am impressed."

Sigma Male: "You flatter me, Celestial Spirit King."

Celestial Spirit King: "There is no need for modesty. Throughout human history, there have been mages like you who have pushed the boundaries of magic. Your contributions stand among the best."

Sigma Male: "Are you really the Celestial Spirit King?"

Sigma Male: "I thought the Celestial Spirit King was massive. How are you even wearing a ring?"

There was a long pause. Nate assumed his playful jab had caught the King off guard.

After a while, another message came through.

Celestial Spirit King: "Young one, why don't you visit the Celestial Spirit World?"

Celestial Spirit King: "Time flows differently there. One day in the Celestial Spirit World equals a month in the human world."

Celestial Spirit King: "Your magic not only connects two realms but also bridges the difference in time. I am most curious and await your arrival in the Celestial Spirit World."

'How am I supposed to know how that works?' Nate thought, mildly exasperated. The time difference was real, so it seemed this was indeed the Celestial Spirit King. But Nate himself wasn't sure how his magic negated the time discrepancy between the two worlds.

His Internet Magic was a system reward, and he hadn't fully mastered its intricacies yet. If he had, there wouldn't be any need for these Magic Net rings—they could simply toss these outdated login devices in the trash.

"An invitation to visit the Celestial Spirit World, huh? I'll find time for that," Nate replied, promising he'd visit when things settled down.

Lucy would probably be thrilled to hear about this. But right now, Nate had more pressing matters—finishing 'Magic Arena'.

With that thought, Nate focused his mind and entered the Deep Web.

He found himself once again in the icy, snow-covered landscape, standing before the familiar wooden cabin.

"Ur?"

The door creaked open, and Ur stepped out, dressed in nothing but her undergarments.

"Nate, what's up?"

Hands on her hips, Ur seemed genuinely happy to see him. To be honest, she found it quite boring here, so even just a chat with Nate was a welcome change.

"I've created a fun game," Nate said with a smile, explaining the concept of 'Magic Arena'. "Come on, let's test it out."

With a snap of his fingers, they were instantly transported to a new arena. Waves gently lapped against the shore as Nate and Ur stood ankle-deep in the water, the horizon stretching endlessly before them. Around them, streams of binary code (0s and 1s) converged, expanding the battlefield.

"You're using the Deep Web as the dueling stage?" Ur remarked, once again amazed by the power of the Internet. Nate's inventive ideas never ceased to surprise her.

"You and I both have about five-star magic power right now," Nate said, beckoning her with a smile. "Come on, use your Ice-Make Magic and try to beat me."
