My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Cooking Spell is like Programming

"Wanna see something?"

Drayken chuckled. He lifted his pen again, and mana swirled around him, gradually accumulating at the tip of the pen. Then, he jotted down a dot.

At a glance, it seemed the same—just a simple black dot. But hidden beyond the naked eye was a deeper intent, a complex mana structure woven into it.

"This is the SoulMark spell, derived from Aura," the old man said, gulping hard.

Drayken casually made another dot. This one was the most basic—the Aura spell itself, the foundational spell it all stemmed from.

"This is really true..."

The old man took a deep, heated breath to calm his surging thoughts, while Drayken was quietly puzzled in his heart:

’Is this feat so terrifying to accomplish that even this guy, who clearly should be one of the strongest in existence, is having an existential crisis right now?’

Thinking in his heart, Drayken felt strange and uncertain for a moment. When he was in that strange trance-like state, he felt like his comprehension was rapidly enhanced, which was already enhanced from the skill he had...

"The increase seemed to be more than I expected."

Drayken concluded in his heart with a firm nod of his head, because he truly felt like so.

It wasn’t a one-plus-one upgrade, but instead multiplied multiple times instead!

"Anyway, Grandpa, I would like to read further books then."

The old man quickly recovered and glanced at Drayken once more.

"Go ahead, little monster," he said, his eyes flickering with uncontrollable excitement:

"Haha, my Dragon race will be in worthy hands in the future."

As his figure vanished, his voice lingered in Drayken’s ear.

"Oh, well, let the old man celebrate."

With a sigh, Drayken chose the third book and read it, without turning the thousands of pages left for the second book. He had already learned everything possible there because all the remaining pages were the description of images and how it functions.

Drayken could be considered as a master of his own and is able to completely skip this stage, but he still needs to study because he has only learned how to use intent. Even the spell he has constructed was one of the spells he already had the blueprint for.

For one to create a completely different spell, and one that has relatively higher quality, he would still need more knowledge...

’Sigh, it’s like I am back to the days of my college, programming hard every day.’ From his understanding, these complex magic patterns were actually like programming, a certain one at that called OOP, otherwise known as Object-Oriented Programming.

You define a body, let’s say a human body and define its features like its eyes, nose, mouth, fingers, and many more as classes.

This is the same for the complex structures of magic, you define the body with your intention clear, and then start to add one feature after another. By the end, it will be complex, but this is the easiest way to find and solve it.

Programming might just be a language for us to communicate with computers, but it teaches us the logic, the deeper meaning behind things!

’What a beautiful thing.’ Muttering this in his heart, Drayken promptly started his reading journey. The next book was called Aura Farming, this was a theory book.

And looking at it with a strange expression in his heart, Drayken started to read it. He felt dazzled the moment he turned the first page, almost in a completely trance-like state.

"This... this is interesting..."

The more he read, the more he felt one of his questions gradually go away from his heart.

When he first thought of aura and its basics, which let one harvest their own emotion to turn into strength, obviously this was very limited.

But this Aura Farming, which is a theory only, delved into farming aura, it harvests the emotion of others towards him to get stronger.

The more he read, the happier Drayken became. He felt like he could make a spell with the same intent behind it, if he could fully grasp this theory.

At this time, Synthia stuck out her head, her eyes full of curiosity, looking at Drayken:
