Magic Era: My Cells Can Evolve - Chapter 1

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Faye City.

The central city of the Magus Continent.

At the edge of the city, a family of four was enjoying themselves and preparing to eat.

“To celebrate Catherine becoming a magister today, you have to drink a few bottles with me, son.”

A middle-aged man with gray hair had already taken his seat while his face flushed gloriously.

Upon hearing that, Austin smiled and said, “Dad, we still have to work at the Magister Association tomorrow. Raising a Pyro Lion is no joke.”

His sister, Catherine, did not mind her brother’s words. Nevertheless, she went to the wine cabinet and took out two bottles of wine.

A bottle for Austin and another for Dearka.

“Come on Brother, just drink a little with Father. You won’t get drunk from just two bottles of wine.” Catherine said sweetly.

Austin glanced at his sister.

She wore a simple short-sleeved top and a pair of black pants, making her legs look exceptionally long and slender. She looked youthful and beautiful, her eyes clean and without any makeup. Her skin was naturally fair, and she had a high ponytail.

With Catherine’s looks and figure, she would definitely be a female celebrity in Austin’s world.

Indeed, Austin was not a native of this world. When he was a child, he had already transmigrated into this world. In theory, he could be considered the owner of this body.

The original owner of this body drowned during his childhood.

He, who had died saving someone in the original world, happened to transmigrate and possess this body.

This world was a magic continent where strength reigned supreme.

Coincidentally, the world was in chaos.

Catherine was the only person in this small family who had the talent to become a magic caster. After years of painstaking cultivation, she finally became an apprentice magister.

Magisters enjoyed a lofty status in this world, but they also bore heavy responsibilities.

Vicious beasts were rampant all over the world.

Magisters needed to join the Magister Association in their respective cities and head to the hunting area to battle the ferocious beasts.

As the eldest son of his family, Austin, who did not have any magic talent, was naturally unwilling to accept this fate.

“Sister, what level of attack can you use now?”

Austin asked as he poured a bottle of wine for his dad.

Upon hearing this, Catherine’s eyes sparkled. She tilted her head and answered, “The minimum standard for an apprentice magister is to deal 500 kilograms of damage to a magic puppet.

“After the apprentice Magister test this time, my attack power has reached around 600 kilograms!”

“Brother, you’ve always bullied me when I was little. Now, times have changed.”

Katherine bared her canine teeth and raised her pinkish fist to threaten her older brother.

600 kilograms!

Austin gasped.

Although he was already familiar with the evaluation of the magister system, Austin was still shocked to find out about his sister’s results.

How could a petite and frail body unleash strength comparable to a bear or a tiger?

“So this is the power of a Magister? It’s hard to imagine.”

Austin shook his head and sighed. “My sister has grown up, and I can’t beat her anymore.”

With that, he poured himself a glass of wine.

“What are all of you talking about? It’s time to eat, time to eat!”

The mother, who was busy in the kitchen, served the last dish after processing the roasted meat.

“Son, go light the furnace now.”

His mother stood at the dining table with the processed magic beef.

Austin got up quickly as he took out a flint, and began to lit the furnace.

Pa!

Flames sprang up and spread along.

Austin did not pick up his hand quick enough as the fire scalded his fingers.

“Ding… congratulations host, system binding successful.”

“In the course of lighting the furnace, your cells came into contact with the flames and evolved into fire resistance level 1. Fire control level 1.”

Immediately, a warm current flowed through his body.

Austin froze.

System prompt?

Cells evolved?

I’m bound to a system?

All of a sudden, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

“What are you daydreaming about?”

His mother rolled her eyes at him.

Then, she placed the freshly processed meat on the iron plate on the old-fashioned charcoal furnace.

“Alright, let’s eat. Time to taste my culinary skills today.”

Austin sat back in his chair, his mind no longer on the food in front of him.

He wanted to test his system.

Her mother filled Catherine’s plate with beef and beamed. “Catherine,” she said with pride. “Eat more to improve your strength.

“Apprentice Magister, you are the pride of our family now!”

“Mother, I’m already past the point of eating meat to increase my strength.

“If I really want to increase my strength by consuming meat, I have to eat from those vicious beasts.”

Despite her words, Catherine handed over the bowl happily and received the meat from her mother.

Dearka and Austin began chatting as they drank.

“Catherine, you have only just started as an apprentice magister. In the future, you will become one of those official magisters and even more powerful.

“The path as a magister is long. You must persevere in order to advance further.”

Her mother murmured, “Once Catherine becomes an official magister, it’ll bring more honor to our family. We would even be able to get a subsidy from the main family every month.”

Catherine nodded in agreement.

A thought flashed through Austin’s mind, and he asked, “To become an official magister, isn’t there still a test where you have to hunt ferocious beasts?”

What was a magister?

Only by experiencing combat and being tempered by battle could one be called a magister!

The difference between an apprentice magister and an official magister was the actual combat and the struggle between life and death.

Catherine’s eyes flashed with a tinge of concern, but she quickly hid it.

“There’s an official magister exam in a few days. I’m going to take it.”

Austin frowned. “Would it be too soon?”

Catherine shook her head and said, “I heard that the upper echelons of Thunder Guild will be going to take a look at this official martial arts examination.”

“There are rumors among my friends that the Thunder Guild wants to bring in fresh blood and select a batch of seeded players. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The Thunder Guild…

Austin raised his eyebrows.

It was no wonder that his younger sister was tempted and was willing to take the risk.

The Thunder Guild was one of the three major Magister Guilds in the country.

The president of the Thunder Guild, Ray, was one of the top ten powerhouses in the world!

Many martial artists wanted to break their heads just to enter the Thunder Guild.

As long as they entered that, forget about becoming a magister, becoming an even stronger existence was not a dream!

However, the mortality rate of an official magister was not low either.

Austin’s parents were also deep in thought and conflicted.

They hoped that their daughter could become an official magister, but they did not want her to rush to the front line and fight the ferocious beasts at the same time.

Catherine’s gaze was firm as she said firmly, “Father, Mother, Brother, I’ve made up my mind. I must go for this official martial arts examination!”

Austin looked seriously. “I’ll help you, sister.”

Catherine looked at her brother and smiled. “Thank you, brother. With your support, I will surely pass the exam for an official Magister.”

Austin secretly clenched his fists.

He knew his sister thought that he was joking.

After all, the gap between an ordinary person and a Magister was too huge. It was like a chasm!

The physical strength of a Magister could unleash a minimum of 500 kilograms of force. How much power could an ordinary person unleash with a single punch? Not to mention that a Magister could also learn magic techniques.

But it had not occurred to Catherine that Austin was being serious.

I must become a Magister too and help my sister pass the exam!

Having lived here for a long time, Austin had long treated everyone in this family as his own.
