Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

"By the way, I noticed it on the train earlier. You seem to really like Luna?"

"Yes, that child is like a ray of moonlight, gazing at his own reflection in the night, yet free and unrestrained."

"So you want her to integrate into your Darkmoon?"

Lani shook her head: "Moonlight is part of the moon, so how can it be integrated? It's just that they attract each other."

Listening to Lani's words, Zicomo felt something was off.

It inexplicably exudes a hint of citrus fragrance.

Zicomo shook the strange thought out of his head.

"Let's go and continue our adventure in the border region."

He's almost finished playing the mini-games, so he's shifted his focus back to the Old Man's Ring.

However, he was quite looking forward to the rewards for completing the mini-games.

After all, this was the first game he had ever played that involved firearms.

I don't know if he can realize his idea of ​​American-style iaido.

…………

A few days later, Zicomo lay in his dormitory.

With the system voice in his mind, Zicomo completed the last achievement of "20 Minutes Before Dawn".

[Congratulations, host, on clearing "20 Minutes Before Dawn"! You have received the following reward: a set of "Skill Rune Guide" (modified to fit this world)]

After opening the encyclopedia, Zicomo discovered that the content listed here was not the rune that only provided a few percent bonus in the game.

Instead, they converted the 17 sets of skills in the game into runes.

Each rune set contains one basic rune, two advanced runes, and one final rune.

Zicomo can inscribe these runes on anything, even people.

Once engraved, the runes can exert their corresponding effects by being infused with magic.

Take the Frozen Rune set, for example.

[Basic rune "Frost Enchantment": Attacks have a 35% chance to freeze the target, freezing the enemy for up to 3 seconds.]

Advanced rune "Icy Domination": When an enemy is frozen, reduce their health by up to 15%.

Advanced Rune "Frost Shards": When attacking, there is a 50% chance to launch 3 additional ice shards, which will freeze enemies upon impact.

The final rune, "Frozen Explosion," detonates the ice on enemies, dealing massive damage.

(Note: The final result depends on the user.)

Of course, even such powerful runes have limitations.

The first point is that the basic runes must be engraved before the subsequent runes can be engraved.

Secondly, if it is engraved on a person's body, a maximum of 5 runes can be engraved.

Thirdly, if the runes are engraved on an object, the number of runes that can be engraved depends on the object's capacity to bear them.

Zicomo flipped through the 17 pages of runes, learning about their functions one by one.

After all, the system also said that it has made certain modifications to adapt to this world.

However, most of the effects are similar to those in the game, except that most of the weapons in the game are firearms, while the system has changed them to be compatible with magic.

The 17 sets of runes can be roughly divided into three types: amplification, elemental, and summoning.

That's right, this rune can even summon pets.

Four of these sets can summon ghosts, dragons, and even daggers and magic crystals.

Zicomo couldn't understand why the two who randomly appeared later were classified as summoners.

Perhaps it's because they all appeared out of thin air.

After looking through the encyclopedia, Zicomo discovered that engraving runes also required a specially made rune engraving knife.

The encyclopedia also explains how to make this thing.

Why does this carving knife look so much like a tattoo pen?

Could it be that the system wants him to become a tattoo artist?

System: Whatever makes you happy.

Zicomo thought for a moment and decided to work through the night to make the rune engraving knife.

Without hesitation, he entered the 'Zen Garden,' greeted Lani, and began crafting rune engraving tools.

Making rune engraving tools requires a lot of precious materials, but luckily his family is wealthy.

He took out a large amount of materials from the system space, all of which he had extracted from the boundary.

Lani saw that he was busy, so she didn't disturb him and just watched from the side.

Zicomo was busy all night, and she just watched from the sidelines all night.

Zicomo didn't finish making the carving knife until dawn.

"what is this?"

Lani's sudden voice startled Zicomo.

He was so focused on his work that he didn't even notice Lani standing beside him.

"A magical carving knife, let me show you."

Zicomo casually pulled out a wand he had picked up at the border from the system space.

He then got busy again with his carving knife.

A dozen minutes later, it was all done.

The reason it was so fast is that Zicomo only inscribed a basic rune.

He raised his wand and cast a 'Radiant Meteor' at the open space.

Along with the 'Radiant Stone Meteor' shooting out, a dagger appeared out of thin air.

That's right, Zicomo engraved the Summoning Dagger Rune Set on his wand.

The basic rune effect is to summon a dagger while attacking, dealing damage to the target equal to the magic attack.

Zicomo sensed that using 'Radiant Meteor' this time consumed 1.5 times the magic power of his usual state.

That 0.5 amount should be the effect of activating the rune.

These runes consumed far less mana than he had anticipated.

"Are those peculiar runic circuits also from this world?"

The "world" that Lani refers to as 4.5 is naturally the world they currently live in.

She was a little curious; she had never seen Zicomo use it before.

"No, these are new rune patterns I acquired. I'm experimenting with their effects."

Zicomo dismissed Lani's guess.

"Oh? Things from other worlds? My king, can you travel between different worlds?"

Previously, Lani hadn't noticed this problem, assuming that Zicomo could only travel between the real world and the borderlands.

It now seems that her king is even more powerful than she imagined.

Upon closer inspection, the rune in front of her is clearly a skill from the game 'Aiped'.

Lani wasn't particularly interested, so she didn't recognize him immediately.

So it seems she chose a wonderful king!

Not only did it help her break free from the limitations of the border region, but it also allowed her to witness a wider world with him.

Zicomo tacitly accepted Lani's guess. Lani, who came from the border region, could easily guess such a thing. In any case, his real secret was the system.

Moreover, he intends to use these skill runes.

Those who have played the game will easily connect the two.

Zicomo decided to leave it to them to fill in the blanks themselves; he simply nodded and let them make up the rest.

Regarding the matter of traveling between different worlds, he can only extract things from the game world right now.

But who knows when the system will be updated and we'll be able to enter the game world in real life?

Right, system? (Subtle hint!)

System: If you think straight and manifest properly, I'll have the energy to update.

Chapter 81 Explosive Shotgun, the Chuunibyou Basilisk

"My king, since you can travel through the world, could you bring me some plant seeds?"

Lani's words interrupted Zicomo's thoughts.
