My Magic Has No Upper Limit

Chapter 265: Chapter 264: I Reject My Humanity

After that, the handwriting in the diary became scrawled and manic, with many words heavily emphasized.

[Sel Kingdom, Year 1163, Harvest Moon, Day 25]

I succeeded... but I also nearly destroyed everything!

Just a moment ago, I cast the unfinished Technique on the candlestick on my desk.

I imagined changing its material.

In the end, the brass candlestick didn’t turn into the gold I’d pictured. Instead, it went limp as if its bones had been removed, collapsing into a puddle of metallic sludge.

It writhed and flowed across the tabletop like a living thing, nearly dripping onto my feet!

I had to frantically cut off the supply of Magic Power, and only then did it re-solidify into a lump of scrap iron.

It was a dangerous accident.

But... who cares! This Power is just too captivating!

I’m even starting to think that the structured Magic we learned before is like cavemen rubbing sticks together to make fire.

And what I hold in my hands now is true power!

[Sel Kingdom, Year 1163, Falling Leaves Month, Day 1]

It’s not enough... It’s still not enough!

The Spell Structure that Master Waldo gave me is wondrous, but it’s too conservative, too timid!

Why limit it to inanimate objects?

Why not living things?

Why not space itself?

I must expand it!

I will build upon that incomplete fragment and infuse it with every idea I’ve ever conceived in my entire life!

I will turn this space into my own personal canvas!

I will succeed!

[Sel Kingdom, Year 1163, Falling Leaves Month, Day 13]

I caught a rabbit for an experiment.

My expanded Technique... it worked.

But it went a little overboard.

The rabbit’s hind legs turned to stone, fusing with the ground. It was impossible to pull them free.

Its ears also began to burn, and rendered fat trickled down its head.

But it didn’t even seem to feel any pain.

The rabbit was still trying to eat grass, but that patch of grass had been turned into a tangled mess of iron wire.

It just kept chewing! It seemed to be enjoying it!

The sight made me sick for the entire afternoon.

But after I was done... why did I feel not fear, but an inexplicable excitement?

Reading this, Zelir’s hand paused as he was about to turn the page.

Through these words, he could almost see a Mage with a fanatical glint in his eyes, laughing maniacally as he watched a rabbit eat iron wires.

Zelir vaguely sensed that this was the point where Elias’s sanity had completely crumbled.

[Sel Kingdom, Year 1163, Falling Leaves Month, Day 17]

Heh heh, I grew wings.

I can fly now.

This page was covered in messy, spiraling lines, with a few bloody feathers of unknown origin stuck to the side.

[Sel Kingdom, Year 1163, Falling Leaves Month, Day 21]

The villagers have been looking at me strangely these past few days.

Is it just my imagination?

When the old village chief brought me bread, he didn’t even dare to look me in the eye. He just left it at the door and tried to run.

He said he’s been hearing strange noises and seeing strange shadows around my house lately.

He also said his family’s cattle have been inexplicably restless.

Hah. Foolish mortals.

That is nature’s instinctive fear of a higher being.

It seems I am truly on the right path.

I am building a new, massive Spell Structure.

Its scope will be far greater!

I want to see if I can truly change reality at will.

My hand is shaking.

When I was washing my face just now, I glanced in the mirror. The reflection staring back at me... it looked like it had two pupils in each eye.

[Sel Kingdom, Year 1163, Falling Leaves Month, Day 27]

The expanded Spell Structure is almost complete...

I don’t know if I’m going mad.

No... last night I even heard the walls speaking to me. I must be going mad.

This new structure, it’s roaring inside my head.

It’s like a ferocious tiger, like a tsunami.

My sanity is screaming at me: the consequences will be completely uncontrollable!

It’s a miracle that no human could possibly bear.

I might be devoured. Everything here might cease to exist.

I...

Should I really see this through?

[Sel Kingdom, Year 1163, Frost Moon, Day 1]

To hell with it.

I’ve been hesitating, but I’ve made up my mind.

I have no regrets.

I’ll make everyone who ever looked down on me pay the price!

What could you mortals possibly understand about this thrill—the thrill of touching the very foundations of the world?!

If I can’t even glimpse that new world, what’s the point of groveling in this shithole village for a hundred years?!

Since this is a Power beyond human grasp.

Then I’ll stop being human!

I will become a god!

I WILL become a god!!!

The final word was written with such sharp force that it tore clean through the paper.

And with that, the diary ended.

Reading it was like witnessing, firsthand, how a man—once down on his luck but otherwise normal—

was lured, step by step, by a forbidden temptation, until he plunged irredeemably into the abyss.

"Utterly mad," Zelir said, shaking his head as he closed the diary.

"But you can’t blame him for being so obsessed."

Mage Hedley was silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"After seeing this Magic with my own eyes, even I feel a little tempted."

"Normal Magic could never produce an effect like this—twisting reality, fusing things together... In a way, it truly is a miracle."

Seeing the look on Mage Hedley’s face, Zelir suddenly had a strange premonition.

"Mage Hedley."

Zelir warned her with a serious expression.

"You mustn’t go down the wrong path. Elias’s methods are not the answer."

"No, no, of course not."

Mage Hedley quickly waved her hands. "I was just expressing my surprise from a purely academic standpoint..."

’Fiery Sun Month, Harvest Moon, Falling Leaves Month, Frost Moon...’

Zelir scanned the diary’s timeline again.

A chill crept up his spine.

’Waldo sent the letter to Elias on the 7th of the Fiery Sun Month.’

’And the day I arrived in this world... wasn’t that also the 7th of the Fiery Sun Month?’

’While I was busy fighting monsters and leveling up, someone else was out here in the suburbs of Black Stone Town, performing such terrifying magical experiments at the exact same time.’

And now, the paths of two people with completely different destinies had finally converged.

’This is too much of a coincidence...’

"This should explain the whole incident,"

Mage Hedley summarized.

"This Fantasy Mage named Elias was expelled from the Silverpine City Mage’s Guild. He eventually made his way to the outskirts of Black Stone Town and settled in Kenta Village..."

"Then, here, he received a letter from his teacher. Enclosed was a piece of parchment inscribed with a mysterious Spell Structure."

"After experimenting with it, Elias’s immense ambition instantly devoured his sanity."

"He tried to complete and expand the Spell Structure, then decided to put it to the test, which ultimately led to the current disaster..."

"The turning point was that letter. The teacher who sent it to Elias was named Waldo."
