Richard sat up abruptly from the bed, opened his eyes and stared out into the darkness ahead, gasping for air. His back was already wet with cold sweat. Richard subconsciously wiped his hand on his forehead, and a wet touch came from his fingers.

Outside, is it raining?

He looked out of the window, where the glass was covered in a misty layer of moisture. The sound of the rain and the drops of water crashing on the eaves and falling to the ground echoed in my ears. The tower will dispel storms in the sky and prevent flying creatures from approaching, but it will not stop the change of wind, frost, rain, snow, or even the stars of day and night.

At some point, the sky had darkened, and it was night.

Richard couldn't help but sigh. The scenes in the nightmare actually happened in reality, and it was when he first came to this world.

It was Novich Rasputin who rescued him. He had come to explore an ancient ruin, but due to his age and the thieves' repeated visits, he had nothing to gain, except to find him buried in the earth on a nearby hill. At that time, the young man was already breathing weakly, his will was weak, he was on the verge of death, and he could not even call for help.

If it weren't for Raspuchin's appearance, he might really have died at the very beginning of his life in another world, becoming the most tragic time-traveling hero.

After that, Rasputin and the youth came to the Black Tower. Richard learned the language of another world from scratch, lied that he was a wanderer from a distant land, and lost all his memories.

This argument is full of loopholes, but Mr. Raspuchin does not care. He seemed to think that the youth who appeared near the ancient ruins had something to do with it, and he was not willing to go back with nothing, so he chose to make Richard his apprentice, hoping to discover the secret from him.

Sadly, he quickly confirmed and discovered that there really wasn't anything peculiar about his student - if the guy's magical talent could only be described as tragic.

This was Richard's biggest fear. After that, he never saw Rasputin again, and it was as if he had completely forgotten about himself. It's fine if that's all there is, but what if the other party remembers him one day and tells him to get out of here?

During his time in the Tower, Richard had seen the pretty bad side of the world, and he didn't think he would survive the protection of the legendary wizard.

The world was not everywhere, and Richard had heard of wealthy and powerful kingdoms on earth, cities that emphasized order and justice, at least on the surface. The reason is that it is a place that is favored and watched by the gods.

There is a real "God" in this world, and there is more than one, and although only a few people can witness these great beings with their own eyes, their existence is real and unquestionable.

In short, in places where the true god is worshipped and believed, if the Tenjin is on the side of the "righteous god", order will be valued, and the people's lives will be more stable.

But the gods' eyes seem to pay little attention to the tower, and it is not uncommon for people to be careless or even heinous in the tower, because it is a mixed place, a "free city" that allows darkness and evil, and the wizards are generally a group of egoists who are indifferent to others and the outside world.

As a weak mortal who has just entered another world, Richard can be said to have drawn the next lottery in the selection of the novice village.

……

"It's been a year since I came to the Black Tower...... As for the distance to the Mayan world, it was a year and a month. ”

It seems that the facts have become obvious, he has no talent to become a wizard, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that he will only be a mediocre apprentice for the rest of his life. In the past, he still had unrealistic fantasies, but the reality is far more cruel than he imagined. Richard stretched out his palms.

"It's weird, if it's physiology, I'm no different from humans in this world. But the reason why talent is so bad is that it is really deeper, such as genetic differences? ”

He thought silently.

Coming from a world where wizards and magic do not exist, Richard is a 21st-century earthling. The name "Richard" was chosen by him according to the customs of this world.

He has a very vague memory of how he crossed the process, and the cause and effect are completely unclear. It was only when he trekked through the wilderness with Novich the next day and saw three suns hanging in the sky that he confirmed that he had really arrived in another world.

But one thing is certain: he crossed with his own body.

"It's rare in the novels I've read before...... It is generally the 'soul wearing' that takes away the soul. If that were the case, it would probably be a lot better, right? ”

If Richard's current body was a native of another world, he would have wondered if there was something else on his body that was absorbing his magic, such as a "ring that dwells the soul of a powerful ancient wizard" or something like that—as long as the time came to wait for the other person to wake up, he would be able to reach the pinnacle of life under the guidance of the other party.

But sadly, no one knows his body better than Richard, and it's an outright original. Because of the rare features of black hair and black eyes, it often receives some unwanted attention.

Fortunately, there seem to be all kinds of human races in this world, and there are even intelligent species other than humans, such as elves and gnomes, etc., which did not cause trouble.

Because it was a physical crossing, he actually had a vague idea of the reason for his miserable talent as a wizard. The world is full of "magic elements", which are not originally on earth, and are the source of the extraordinary abilities of wizards.

Although Richard was only a student in the past, this did not prevent him from making certain guesses as a contemporary who had been educated in modern science: the fact that humans in this world could find a career path to use magic to exert their power was obviously a sign of adaptation.

Their ancestors have been exposed to the environment full of magic for many years, and the body will naturally produce certain adaptive changes, which are passed down and accumulated through generations of bloodline genes, which is probably the key factor in determining the level of magic power.

Of course, according to the laws of heredity, it is normal for there to be differences in traits in offspring, which is called "talent". And his body, which has not been affected by any magic element, naturally has no talent at all.

"But after all, it's your own body, so it's fine...... If I were to be someone else, I might have cognitive confusion or something......"

He only seemed to comfort himself in his heart.
