Full-Time Magister: One System, One Forbidden Spell, the Strongest Divine Gift

Chapter 2 Divine Gift [Golden Life]

On the way home from school.

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them. Zhou Min jogged a few steps to catch up with Chen Yuan and reached out to tug at his sleeve.

"Brother, I've awakened the fire element!" Her voice was light and cheerful, yet it also held a hint of cautious probing. "From now on... I'll protect you, Grandma, and Mom and Dad."

She secretly glanced at Chen Yuan's profile, silently observing the changes in her brother's expression.

Light system.

This outcome was unexpected, even to her.

But even so, what does it matter? He is her brother, and that will never change.

On the contrary, at this moment, she felt an unprecedented impulse.

I want to protect him.

From childhood to adulthood, he was always the one standing in front of her. But now, she finally has the strength to be his support.

Zhou Min quietly clenched her fist, her fingertips slightly hot, as if a small flame was burning in her palm.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on their shoulders. Chen Yuan stopped and gently patted Zhou Min's head, a warm smile in his eyes.

"Little sister, don't worry about me."

His tone was calm, yet it exuded a reassuring composure.

"Now that you've awakened the fire element, you should train diligently. In the future... I might really need your protection."

Chen Yuan said jokingly.

Zhou Min blinked, feeling that there was something hidden in her brother's words, but his smile was the same as usual, leaving no clue as to what was going on.

Chen Yuan withdrew his hand, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing together, as if sensing some invisible force.

At this moment, his body was flowing with light-based magical energy far exceeding that of a novice mage, fueled by experiences from the "future."

This not only brought his understanding of light to a state of perfection, but also caused a strange change in his magic.

It's as if he suddenly gained a new talent.

But this is not the place to verify.

He needs to go home, to find an undisturbed environment, to thoroughly uncover the truth behind this "gift".

Everyone else transmigrates thanks to the system's cheat code, but for Chen Yuan, the cheat code is himself.

"Yes, I will!" Zhou Min nodded vigorously, as if she had inexhaustible energy.

Dusk always comes exceptionally early in the old town.

As Chen Yuan and Zhou Min returned to the small courtyard deep in the alley under the dappled sunset, the wind chimes under the eaves were making soft, tinkling sounds.

To take care of their elderly grandmother, the brother and sister chose to commute to school from the beginning of their schooling, crossing most of the city to go to and from school every day.

As for Zhou Min's parents, one works in another city, while the other is a teacher.

She is rarely at home and is usually taken care of by Chen Yuan and Zhou Min.

"Squeak-"

As soon as the old wooden door was pushed open, the sound of a cane tapping the ground came from inside the room.

Grandma Zhou leaned against the door frame, her silvery-white hair gleaming softly in the twilight.

"Xiaomin, Xiaochen, you're back." The old man squinted his eyes, his wrinkles filled with a smile.

She reached out her hand tremblingly, as if to make sure the children had really arrived home safely.

"Grandma!" Zhou Min's eyes lit up, and she rushed to the old woman's side, carefully taking her wrinkled arm.

The girl's voice trembled slightly with excitement: "We've awakened our magic! My brother and I have officially become magicians!"

She helped her grandmother sit down in the wicker chair, then knelt before the old woman, tilting her head back with bright eyes.
"Once we receive the commission and make money, the first thing we'll do is get Grandma a bright and spacious house!"
"It should face south, with a small courtyard, so you can bask in the sun every day!" The old man's wrinkled hands gently stroked Zhou Min's hair, his cloudy eyes shimmering with tender tears.

"Silly girl, why would Grandma want a big house?"

Her voice was hoarse yet warm, like a fluffy quilt drying in the winter sun.

"As long as you are safe and sound, and I can hear you calling 'Grandma, I'm back' every day, this dilapidated house is the best house."

Magicians or ordinary people alike.

In her heart, the two children will always be those little ones who would argue over a piece of candy and then wipe each other's tears.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan did not disturb them. Instead, he simply greeted them and returned home.

After returning to his room, Chen Yuan did not waste any time and immediately entered a meditative state.

There are still a few years before the disaster in Bo City, and he needs to have the strength to protect his family before the disaster strikes.

Chen Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, the world transformed into an ocean of light in his perception, with countless golden specks of light floating like fireflies in the darkness, gently surrounding him.

Those vibrant light elements seemed to have found their home, joyfully penetrating his skin and flowing into his veins like a warm river.

He felt as if he were floating in an endless sea of ​​light, every inch of his skin greedily breathing in the pure light elements.

The energy from all directions, carrying the warmth of sunlight seeping through a quilt, and like the sudden warmth of a hug in the dead of winter, dispels the chill deep in your bones.

This is a feeling of greater peace than any other moment in my memory.

It felt like returning to the very beginning of life, enveloped in the purest light and gentleness.

"What incredible talent!"

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and the remaining light elements at his fingertips were still trembling slightly.

He originally thought it was just an ability to assist in cultivation, but he did not expect that it contained hidden dangers. The seemingly gentle light element could produce such terrifying destructive power after being compressed to the extreme.

He slowly opened his right palm, letting the flowing light gather in his palm.

This time, he deliberately slowed down the speed of elemental condensation. Countless golden light spots flowed like rivers into the sea, condensing into a crystal-clear sphere of light in his palm.

Dangerous ripples flowed across the surface of the sphere, yet its interior remained as still as a deep pool.

"go."

With a soft shout, the sphere of light traced a dazzling trajectory. At the instant it touched the doorframe,
"Om-!"

The entire space seemed to have been muted.

There was no explosion as expected, only a sudden burst of all-consuming white light.

After the intense light faded, a burning pain lingered on Chen Yuan's retina, and where the door frame had been, only a neatly edged void remained.

"???"

Chen Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed, but he couldn't make a sound.

He stared blankly at the empty doorway, where tiny golden wisps of light lingered at the edges, slowly dissipating like sparks. This power likely surpassed the realm of ordinary beginner-level magic.

It's as if a god casually wiped away a corner of the world.

This silent destruction is more chilling than a deafening explosion.

In Chen Yuan's memory, this talent was a divine gift that his future self awakened after breaking through the forbidden spell. He never imagined that he could use it himself.

Golden Life

That is the name of this divine gift.

Although Chen Yuan's strength only allows him to use the most basic functions, it is more than enough for the current stage.
