It seemed like a bit of a trick had been discovered, but I was able to easily increase my magic power by {+2} through repeated training of {Sixth Sense}, so I’m satisfied with that and look at the values of other [stats].

‘I’m sure there must be a more efficient way.’

＇When I try to figure it out on my own… it’s not easy because there are a lot of things that get in the way.’

On the one hand, I felt relieved that I didn’t have to experience the feast of hell through {Sixth Sense} training, but it was a fact that I couldn’t hide this feeling of discomfort and frustration as if my path forward was blocked.

“hmm…”

After endlessly looking at the [Information Window], my finger naturally landed on the [Ability Window] button.

Take it!

“uh?”

『Ability Window』▼

□{Divine Magic}

Non-attribute magical power can be used.

□{Endless Magical Power}

“Magic power” [ability] can grow infinitely without any limit.

□{Sixth sense}▽ – {Conditions not met}

It enhances the senses of touch, taste, sight, hearing, and smell.

□{Circuit settings}▽ – {Conditions achieved}

You can create abilities that reflect your previous life’s occupation.

□{Grant} – {Conditions not met}

It can be strengthened by being given knowledge of how to speak ancient languages.

□{Check information}

You can easily check if you recognize the information on everything except the person.

□{Languages of the world}

As the final gift from the now extinct “□■□ God”. You can understand any language as long as you recognize it.

＇{Circuit settings}? This…condition is fulfilled?’

I was puzzled by the fact that the ability {Circuit Settings}, which had been written as {Conditions Not Met}, suddenly read {Conditions Achieved}, but I soon realized that this was a phenomenon caused by an increase in magical power. In a way, it is a natural assumption.

The only difference between me from a while ago and me now is that I recalled memories from my past life and tried to raise my various [stats] in order to have a healthy body. To be honest, it was easy to say, but it was very difficult.

Soft…

So, I decided to lie comfortably on the bed for a while and read the ability called {Circuit Settings} step by step. As it was a new ability, I was confident that it would have a big impact on me.

＂It’s an ability derived from reflecting the occupation of a previous life.＂

“I can’t figure it out at all..?”

A meaningful explanation that I cannot understand is entangling me. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a connection between my previous life’s job and the ability to set up a circuit.

Apparently, my previous job was as an employee who dealt with electricity, designed circuits, and checked or installed each product to ensure that it could operate safely. No… I was an assistant manager.

It was no different from that kind of article, where they checked the drawings to see if there were any problems with the product and then provided after-sales service.

＂If this is an ability related to my previous life job…＂

“How on earth is it used?”

In my previous life, I was not lazy when it came to learning what I didn’t know, and I was a passionate person who was promoted to the position of the youngest person to represent the company. Not only did I enjoy repairing various broken products using the knowledge I had acquired, but I was also a person with a lot of pride as I was sincere about it.

Now that I have a certain level of experience, I have many days where I can demonstrate my abilities without worrying about what others think.

Moreover, since I knew very well that my dexterity was excellent, I was just unfamiliar with the {circuit setting} ability that did not fit this world.

Although I don’t know how a book boasting such texture was created, just looking at the mansion I live in had a medieval feel, so I could recognize that the world was not that advanced in many ways.

＂{Circuit settings}..＂

Even if it is possible to unleash the talents of one’s past life through the ability called {Circuit Setting}… to some extent, that is a story from the distant future.

Since I didn’t know exactly what level of world it was, there was no way I could clearly demonstrate my {circuit setting} ability. That’s why I felt even more disconnected.

＇Still, rather than just doubting it..＇

＇After all, it would be a good idea to check it yourself, right?＇

I can’t just worry about it like this for a hundred days. After gathering my thoughts for a while, I am going to try using the ability called {Circuit Settings}.

***

Sweet!

As soon as the pleasant pressure ended, I immediately felt the violent pounding of my heart.

This was definitely the same feeling I had when I tried to open the secret door of the locked library, but it was only trying to move according to my will.

On the other hand, this phenomenon felt like they were trying to force me to use magical power regardless of my will.

However, this phenomenon was also somewhat expected. Of course, I didn’t act without thinking.

“So what should I do?”

As I was examining the situation for a moment, I felt an opaque magical power emanating from a magic stone located somewhere near my heart flowing down my right hand, slowly converging in one place, and soon appearing unstable and beginning to flow.

It was as if he was asking me to give it a shape.

‘I feel something…’

It seemed like instinct told me to do it.

＇Are you asking me to make something?＇

While I was momentarily puzzled by the meaningless {Circuit Settings} ability, I was instantly reminded of the [Folding Iron], a tool fundamentally used in electric circuits.

It was that moment.

The opaque magical power that had been gathering in both hands, which was showing endless tremors, gradually condensed into a single point and took shape… and soon it was fixed on the tip of the index finger of the right hand, revealing a perfect shape.

A feeling that cannot be described in words…

It wasn’t a particularly good feeling. If I had to express it, would it be like a feeling accompanied by severe carsickness? I felt a little dizzy, like I was throwing up.

Of course, I don’t know how to use magical power perfectly, but I was able to get used to it to some extent through training through {Sixth Sense}. However, since I had never tried to embody magical power in this way, it was just unfamiliar.

So, I began to observe the form of magical power gathered in the fingers that were flaunting their presence.

＇Is this… a needle?＇

An appearance made up of magical colors so opaque that they are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

It was clearly long and sharp, like the needle of the iron I instantly remembered, and was attached to the tip of my index finger.

{{Conditions met.}}

{Circuit Settings} → {Magic Iron}

□{Magic Iron}

This is an ability derived from “Circuit Settings”. When you concentrate magic power on your fingertips, they become long like needles.

Using magical power, “magic stones” can be refined into a molten state and processed anew with the tip of an iron.

I wasn’t too embarrassed because I knew that the abilities of the [Ability Window] would change depending on my choices. It’s as if the {Limit Break} ability changed to {Endless Magic}.

Therefore, I will try to check the newly changed abilities of {Magic Iron} while maintaining a calmer expression than usual.

＇In short, it is the ability to process magical power?＇

＇But.. how?＇

I knew what the ability was used for, but since the method was not actually written down, I couldn’t help but be curious.

Moreover, the sharp point that looks like an awl strangely stimulates the eye. I was curious. Will this condensation of magic power in a certain form cause damage to the human body?

‘It looks sharper than I thought..’

I made an action to stab the {magic iron} created through the index finger of my right hand on the desk, and sure enough, it was different. It gave the feeling of touching the object without passing through it.

However, the experiment could not be stopped here. We had to determine whether this had a use that could cause harm to people.

＇I don’t know how to process magic stones..＇

＇You might need to check at least once, right?

The sharp end of the {magic iron} made of opaque magical energy advanced toward the opposite left hand. Honestly, this is a moment where I am also nervous.

If you’re an ordinary human being, you wouldn’t be able to open your eyes and see something sharp approaching your raw flesh.

Ssss..

I feel it clearly. It was definitely a strange feeling, as if a {magic iron} was touching my left hand.

However, contrary to my expectations, I only felt a vague sensation, and in fact, there was no physical damage, let alone a wound, not even a trace.

From this I was able to infer. This means that there was no damage because it was a {magic iron} made of my own magic power. So what if it causes harm to others other than myself?

Of course, I thought about it this way, but it was not a problem worth worrying about.

Because I am not soft enough to show others that I am a {magic iron}.

‘Is this not harmful to the human body?’

As I slowly read the explanation of {Magic Iron} again and became interested in magic stones again, I took out the book [Book of Monsters] again today and fell asleep without even noticing the passage of time.
