Chapter 8

“You-You… You want to learn my magic?”
What did Ciri just hear? A demon of chaos and darkness wanted to learn the god of order’s magic?
“I do not think there’s anything wrong with that.”
Joshua did not understand why Ciri was so shocked even though she had already been in a state of fear the entire time.
“There really isn’t.”
Aside from a few sects, many mages in the world believed in multiple gods to diversify their magic.
Their faith had nothing to do with their strength because the gods only provided the seeds of magic. In order for them to bloom, it all depended on the mage’s own learning.

“A… what?”
“Nothing.”
With a wave of his hand, the faint white runes before him disappeared.
It was just an elemental periodic table Joshua had arranged from part of the runes. The runes worked exactly like Chinese characters as different combinations formed different meanings.
From the test earlier, Joshua was sure that not only could he set the runes to only be visible to himself, but if he so desired, he could also show it to others.
Constructing magic with them aside, Joshua realized that the nature of the runes was exceedingly similar to something he was very familiar with.
It was… computer language—the type of advanced C++ language with a language library!

As he thought of that, Joshua, who was a game designer and a part-time programmer had a daring idea.

He could create a system using the runes! In any case, Joshua’s memory was so overpowered now. Not to mention, he had also worked in Microsoft for a period of time.

There was no need to fret about having no system to act as a cheat code after crossing over! Joshua could just write one himself. Be it WIN98 or WINXP, Joshua knew how to make one out of the runes!

While it may take some time, creating a simplified version was not a problem in Joshua’s mind.
Only then did he realize that the magic in this world was such an interesting thing.
“Ciri, were you happy learning magic?”
Joshua’s new discovery led him to ask such a question.
Happy, why would she not be happy? That would have been Ciri’s reply before she met Joshua since she would be the creme of the crop in terms of magical talent, but…
Now that she saw the series of runes before Joshua, which she had never seen before, the urge to forget about learning magic, and just pack up, go home, and get married suddenly welled up within her!

However, that was dependent on Joshua being willing to let her go.
