“What are you talking about?”, Liu Feng laughs sheepishly.

“I read every single book in the library, boy. In your library. And I was a wizard before. Do you know how hard it is to get that title? All of humanity’s greatest achievements I know of. But I never even hear of your theory yet it explains a lot of discrepancies that we have observed before. And you are just five years old. There can be only one explanation. You are the devil.”

Liu Feng sat down and laughed out loud. He thought,

“This world is more primitive than I had thought. To think that they don’t know about the basic theory of evolution. But it is still so developed. It looks like I underestimated the power of magic.”

He looked at Lucas and said, “You don’t have to worry about me being the devil or anything. If I was, why would I call you one. I read this in a book I saw outside. I thought it was common sense. Maybe it was a theory of some scientist – I mean wizard who researched it. I have to get ready for my next class so wait here.”

Liu Feng went to take another bath because he was all sweaty. He then went into deep contemplation.

“I am getting confused between the two worlds. You should already get used to this by now. What are you doing? This is the most basic thing and you can’t control yourself? But just imagine… if I bring the technology from Earth and combine it with magic, then I will be able to create an empire bigger than any before. I will finally have something to my name.”

Liu Feng came out refreshed and went to his magic theory class.

After another boring class of magic history, he went back to his room, and sat down.

“Lucas, can you come out now?”

“What’s the matter boy?”

“Well I did ask you to teach me how to use magic. You told me that the era has lost most of its magic but you know how to use ancient magic. I need to be powerful. I have a lot of expectations riding on these shoulders.”

“Fine, but you should know that this is going to be a long and arduous journey. It is extremely hard to train in ancient magic, but its reliance on talent also decreases.”

“Let’s start then shall we.”

“All right. Sit down in your meditative state. You’re a boy so you might not know what it is. You have to sit upright with your legs crossed, right leg on top of your left, and your arms on your knees.”

Liu Feng grumbled, “I know what it is. Don’t assume without knowing”

“What was that? I am helping you out of boredom. Don’t play any games. Then close your eyes and imagine you are in a dark place. Now start chanting these words.

‘Inaestimabile sacramentum spirituum valentior dat aditum’

Don’t miss any syllables. This is how you should speak with spirits. Remember to show humility. They are very proud beings.”

Meanwhile Liu Feng felt like he was thrown into the darkness. After he chanted those words it felt like someone dragged him to some hole. Then, he could see some light. He approached the light carefully, with his mind alert. When he got to the source of light, all of a sudden the darkness disappeared. He seemed to enter another world. He could see miniaturized people running around, flying, laughing, and playing. Then one of them noticed him.. Bells started ringing and all the people stopped moving and looked at him.
