I walked down the stairs and immediately reached underground [1]. Its depth is around a normal 3 story-house. [2]

I found a door down below, then I opened it to walk inside. It’s a very simple room with a single small table. On top of the table, there’s a letter and a grimoire.

First, I took the letter with my hand.

It’s the same as last time. The writing is his.

[To Liam, if you are reading this, that means you have completely deciphered the message that I have written.]

There’s not much change with the first paragraph.

[I want to tell you that the Magicpedia itself is a very rare magic. You also have mastered the use of [Item Box].
That’s why, for you, I will give my very best Grimoire. It is classified as one of the highest-ranked magic.]

I glanced at the small table and then touched the grimoire that was placed on top of it.

So this is… the strongest grimoire, huh.

[By the way, that grimoire… even I couldn’t use it. I don’t have the talent for it, and my magic power was not enough.]

“Even master can’t use it, huh…”

[However, I pray that you can use this grimoire.]

With that end, I fold the letter back and put it inside my pocket.

Then, I took the grimoire with my hand and opened it.

“[Another World]… what kind of magic is this, I wonder…”

I read the grimoire.

Let’s try it first. It’s the same with every grimoire I’ve read. The first step is to read the ‘how to practice’ part.

I roughly crammed the method into my head and then charged my magic power while holding the grimoire.

Nothing’s happening.

It’s a common thing for activating new grimoire, and new magic.

But, now I understand.

I know that I didn’t get anything wrong.

Ever since I began to use the chant, I can feel the flow of magic power inside my body clearly.

My magic power is being used for magic.

That means, my method is not wrong… it’s just not activated yet.

If so, then it’s easy to figure what to do if I could understand something like that.

It’s the usual story.

Repeated training.

For the sake of learning this magic, it’s inevitable.

I’ve done the same for every magic I’ve learned, that’s why this time, I also need to do the same thing.

I stayed inside the basement and began training for [Another World] magic.

I followed the procedure written on the grimoire, carefully going through the process one by one.

The process of learning new magic is always like this. No, maybe it’s for anything you want to learn.

The correct procedure, follow it carefully.

Usually, I try to devise my own method when I got used to it, but right now, let’s do it by the book.

When I realized, a few hours had gone past.

Even after that long, I can’t activate it even once.

Low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and going past all of that, highest-grade magic.

I never thought that it’s going to go smoothly… this is just me being impatient.

Gradually, it became darker.

It’s not that obvious since I’m in a basement, but time-wise, I’m sure that it’s almost sunset.

“[Wisp]”

I summoned a low-grade spirit of light, [Wisp].

Its body consists of a ball of light. It also had wings on the back. In short, it’s a spirit with a lovable appearance.

Because of the spirit, the room gradually became brighter like it was day.

Then I continued with my training for [Another World].

Since I’m doing 2 continuous magic, I focused everything to maintain [Wisp] and practice [Another World].

It felt like forever but I kept continuing.

Since I can feel the flow of magic from my body, I kept doing it with vigor.

Finally, a light akin to sunlight which is brighter than the [Wisp]’s light, appeared.

“I did it!”

In front of me, a [Door] appeared.

It took me half a day. Finally, my first successful activation.

Although it doesn’t look like a door, when it was activated, I just know that it was a [Door].

That’s why, I just walked past through it, and went inside.

After that, even though I was inside the basement earlier, right now, I’m inside a completely different place.

My surrounding’s completely white. It’s like a closed space.

The length is about 2 meters wide… and is around 2.5 meters in height, huh.

It’s a room, but also not at the same time… that kind of space.

I turned around.

The door was there, and from beyond, I can see the light seeping inside here.

I opened the grimoire for [Another World] and read the effect part.

[Another World].

It’s a magic to create another space, not of this world.

The space extent will depend on the caster’s proficiency and the amount of magic power.

When cast, as long as the caster is inside, the space will not disappear. And no one can invade the space
without the caster’s permission. However, a person that uses the same magic can bypass that rule and become an exception.

Finally, when mastered, the things put inside will not disappear.

It’s similar to [Item Box].

[Item Box] is a space that can hold everything without limit but, for things that have life l, it can’t be put inside.

Compared with [Another World], even if the extent depends on the caster, just like me that went inside right now, living things, for example, a human, can be placed inside.[3]

“If I can put a house inside this space…”

For me who had mastered the use of the [Item Box], I know how useful this magic [Another World]
will be in the future.

If I mastered this magic, I can make a house that will allow me to go inside and outside as I please.

“Thank you so much, master!”

It will require a few months but, if I keep on practicing this magic, I can absolutely do it. And if I count my experience until now,

I’m confident about this.

This is the perfect magic for me that just got independent.

Though still under construction, I have gained the greatest house by using the highest-grade magic.

Translator and Editor Notes:

[1] [TL notes: he said 最下層 which means [lowest floor] but it doesn’t make any sense because there’s no floor ground anyway so I changed to normal ground] [ED: I changed it to underground.] [How about I change it to something as well ~Asada]

[2] [TL: wow, as if there will be no house inside, eh?]

[3] [TL Notes: actually said “I can put human inside” but then he will sound like a human trafficker so…]
[ED: I changed it again. Lol]

SHISHOOOUUU–YOU SPOILT HIM TOO MUCH T___T
