Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Does Magician Truly Exist?

Riya smiled to herself.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Riya looked at the phone beside the bed and unlocked it. The movement felt both familiar and unfamiliar. It had been four years since the last time she used her phone and looked at this familiar screen.

There was a message from her best friend.

Pampered Baby: Riyaaaa, how long are you going to sleep? Come on, I want to bring you to see the horses today!

Pampered Baby was the nickname of her best friend.

Riya looked at the calendar and knew that it was exactly the same date as when she disappeared.

That four years in the magic world...

Is it real or not?

With a thought, the familiar meditation technique that had accompanied her for the past four years started in her body. Slowly, mana started to gather through the channel and gathered inside her heart.

It felt refreshing.

After she had finished one circulation, Riya looked at her surroundings. After the meditation, she could faintly sense the mana in the world, but it was very faint. If she had to calculate, it was about 1000 times thinner than the magic world she used to be.

She could practice, but it would take a long time to reach her previous magic realm.

The problem here was not only her talent but also the situation.

But it was not important.

"So, it's not a dream," Riya murmured.

She died in the magic world and was brought back to this world inexplicably. If Riya had to say, she felt that the experience was very strange and appalling.

But the gains were not small.

At the very least, she would be able to meditate in this world. Though, she doubted that she would be able to reach high realm considering how thin the mana and aura in this world is.

Mana is used by magician while aura is used by warrior.

Beep!

Her phone rang again.

It seemed that her best friend was already impatient.

Throwing all messy thoughts to the back of her head, Riya quickly washed, changed her clothes, and walked out of the room. It felt strange to be back to her original body but after doing some activities, Riya slowly got used to it.

She's no longer a powerful magician by now.

Just an ordinary human.

Slowly, Riya entered the living room and saw a woman around the same age as her, 22 years old, sitting there with a bored expression.

When she saw Riya, her eyes lit up. "Little Riya! You're finally here! I thought that you will sleep all day long."

Riya looked at the clock on the wall. She received a call from her so called stepmother early this morning and even if she didn't want to, she finally gave in. But that woman truly didn't deserve it. It was still very early when she came out, so when she came back, time hadn't passed that much. "It's still 9 AM. You're the one who woke up early."

"Even if I don't want to wake up early, I can't." the woman, Amelia, grumbled. "My brother seemed to be addicted to martial arts and brought the entire family to practice. You don't know how he kept on drilling me for the past month."

If not because of exams, Amelia was sure that her brother would never let her off.

"I heard that." Riya looked at Amelia helplessly. This was the main reason why Amelia came to this farm.

Amelia wanted to run away from home.

Though, her running away was nothing new anymore.

She would definitely run away once a month from her family because of various reasons.
