The third floor of the Sinux Magic Tower was very simple as the rest of the floors, it didn"t have some beautiful cristal or pictures describing great scenes just the simple walls that the magic tower has, a sample of the pragmatic inclination of whoever designed.The whole floor was filled with tidy shelves in which there were boxes of all sizes, some of the boxes generated a spontaneous attraction to the nurtural energies proving that whatever was in them was something very valuable.
Before the shelves, there was a podium with a crystal sphere in his center, two lion-like statues like the one on the first floor by his side and in front of it, there was a metallic humanoid of 2 meters.
The portal of the floor flashed as Zatiel figure was shown. The moment he arrives at the floor the first thing it calls his attention were the statues in the podium, especially the humanoid one.
´With my current abilities, although I can"t defeat a rank 1 Magi, I can still escape with my life but I can feel that the metallic golem can kill me. This level of security is to be expected after all some of those boxes have items really valuable´
As Zatiel came closer to the podium the statutes eyes light up, and the humanoid started to talk
"Apprentice Zatiel, use the podium sphere to go through the available materials. You can currently only access to rank 0 and rank 1 material," The statue spoke in a robotic voice before his eyes shut down.
Zatiel saw at the statue for a moment before putting his hand in the sphere.
Immediately 5 rows were shown in his conscious, the first one had written on it rank 0 and the last one rank 4. Only the one with rank 0 and rank 1 were lit, the other ones were grey.
Zatiel tried to enter the one that says rank 2 but words show up saying "rank and acc.u.mulative merit points insufficient"
´I see, it doesn"t matter, even if I could access them the prices will be too hight for my current wealth´
Instead of going through the list searching for the items that he needs he chose to give this task to the chip.
"Chip scan the list and search for the material needed for rune crafting and also search for diagrams for rank 0 runes and present them to me"
Immediately the chip robotic voice was heard in his conscious.
"Bip... Scanning item list and searching for the material and runes.
Done.
Equipment for rune crafting came to a price of 740 magic crystal.
Displaying a list of the diagrams of rank 0 runes available."
A list of rank 0 runes start to appear in Zatiel consciousness.
Although in his current memories, Zatiel does have some diagrams if he starts to shown rank 0 runes from nowhere it will call unwanted attention, so to save troubles, for the time being, he will only use the ones he gets from the tower.
After going through the diagrams he finally chose two, for which ones he already has the necessary materials to craft.
After deciding the items he wanted he used the crystal to pay for them. The moment the transaction was done some boxes start to move on their own and landed at his feet.
Zatiel didn"t waste time, picking the boxes he left straight for his house on the second floor, to use the experiment room and start crafting the runes. Once in there he starts to organize the equipment and took out the materials to craft the rune of his spatial sack.
The first rune that Zatiel was going to craft was called Secondary Consciousness, it was a rank 0 rune that allows the individual to create another consciousness to act parallel to his own, although this one had limited cognitive abilities meaning that it could not be used in complex thoughts, it was still very useful, for example, it could allow someone to have a constant watch over his surrounding as his original consciousness focus on his enemy.
For this rune, a lot of materials were needed but the most important was the brain of harpies. Processing the materials is a very important part in rune crafting and normally it takes a lot of time, but Zatiel was moving his hands without stop, finis.h.i.+ng with one and going straight to the next, but even more amazing was that in no moment any of them suffer the most minimal drop in quality, demonstrating the great proficiency that he had. But of course, some of the credit was due to the chip that was constantly a.s.sessing the material and informing him if any error was going to happen.
Having finished with the materials, he charges them in the rune pencil and takes a piece of magical creature skin to start inscribing it.
Rank 0 runes didn"t need great abilities to craft but you must have absolute precision, writing every rune in the right order and not making a single mistake or else all that you did before is lost.
Having already memorized the diagram thank to the chip he start to craft the rune. Zatiel uses the pencil and writes every single line of the rune in the right order, his movements were completely harmonious not stopping at any moment. His eyes were focused as he moves the pencil just the right amount in every direction.
As he continues working, he becomes more and more tired. Crafting runes take hold in your mental capacity and energy reserves, and this rune was in the upper end of the rank 0 so even with Zatiel abilities, it took a lot of work.

When he finally finished a beautiful rune was inscribed in the skin, sporadically pulsing with energy.
"Very good, its effect is even better than the one described in the diagram" Zatiel smiled as he a.s.sesses his work. The diagrams are only a standard of the rune if the one who inscribes the rune makes an excellent job the effect will be better, as it will become worse if it is badly done.
After having finished with the rune, Zatiel goes to bed, although meditation could also help him recharge his energy, sleeping is something that he still needs, besides the effect in his recovery will be faster.
.....
As Zatiel was recovering, Ezequiel was in his own house going through the information in a crystal. As he researched he was constantly making a troublesome face.
This crystal was given to him when he a.s.sisted his first lesson in magical crafting. The course was taught for a rank 1 Magi named Ruben, and the first thing he does was giving a crystal with the basic information needed to know for those who want to learn to create magical equipment to every apprentice in the room, after that he ordered to memorize the information and have a basic understanding of the principles that are taught. According to the Magi, if they are not able to even do this then they are just wasting his time.
"Master was right, magical crafting is truly complex, but still it is not something that can defeat me," Ezequiel"s eyes were determined as he continued to go through the information.
