Mana condensing-materialization. Something I didn't expect to see at this moment.

Creating solid objects from one's pure Mana requires high concentration, a large amount of Mana, as well as a deep understanding of one's own Mana.

Though I could easily do it with Solnova without any problem, this was something I could barely do with Mana, even with my high Mana and mastery over it.

It was a very difficult thing and something that few could actually pull off.

I knew she could do it, maybe better than me but, why make this coin from it? Is this my special gift from her...?

Not bad, actually.

This definitely was special.

Creating something like this requires a very large amount of one's Mana.

And Creating this small coin must have taken some day's worth of her Mana, so I could only imagine just how hard she must have worked to make this.

Mages used something like this as an emergency Mana supply as the condensed Mana these objects are made of could be used by the mages as they pleased with the least burden because of the Mana being their own.

This was definitely a special gift but, instead of giving it to me, it was far more logical to have it on her.

I knew she would need something like this in the future, so, instead of giving it to me... wait.

"This isn't the gift, right?"

"I knew my darling would catch up quickly~."

Her smile said it all...

There was no way she would come to some normal conclusion like this after thinking this much longer.

The gift was something else. And the coin was just part of it.

And this excited me even more~!

Just what could she use this good amount of her pure Mana for?

She succeeded in creating rare stars of excitement in my eyes, and this sudden excitement I showed made her chuckle with delight.

But what she did after that was even more surprising...

-Oooooooong.

A night-like dark light, black but filled with starlight light, covered the hand that was holding this pure black coin and she took a deep breath with an excitement-filled smile.

"I don't know if you have ever thought about this thing but, to mark the first special day for the two of us, I thought of a fun game that we can play forever~.

The game is quite simple.

Occasionally, we will give each other these coins made from our Mana with an origin promise.

I know you know so, the oath of origin is the most powerful one. We will take this oath that as long as one gives this coin to the other, the receiver has to grant any wish of the one giving it.

You must have the coin at the moment for the wish to be granted and to earn this coin... well, it's up to us.

We can make some kind of bet depending on the situation and use these coins as a reward or gift when we feel like it, or reward it for some kind of accomplishment.

The one using their coin can ask for absolutely any~thing. Unconditionally.

It will be fun~, right?"

"Frekin genius..."

"Hmm? Padron?"

"You are an amazing genius, Rein...!"

It was just a simple game, but the value it held for both of us was immeasurable!

I genuinely didn't think about this, certainly not the coin thing.

And to take the original oath to grant any wish one wanted... just thinking about what crazy things she could ask me or I can ask her was endless.

Taking the origin oath would practically mean I would complete it, even if I didn't want to.

It was the most powerful, most secure, and a non-cheatable way to go about this game.

This was amazing, this coin, the oath, the conditions, and the price.

Granting a wish that could be anything from a small thing to something re~ally big and important.

One can make others do absolutely anything and that was risky but, she will give the coins with her Mana to me, and I would give the coins with my Mana to her, and at the end, the coins will come back to us when the wish is granted.

The conditions are not balanced, the one with more coins would have more advantage in this game of absolute wishing, and this made the game even more 'real'.

We both knew the reason for using these precious coins that would naturally take a long time and effort to make.

One's Mana grew more difficult to condense as we grow stronger.

And it was naturally up to us if we wanted to give the other person command of our life for that moment or not.

This was actually quite a well-thought thing and I really, genuinely, absolutely~ loved this game.

"You are awesome, amazing, outstanding, exceptional, lovely, cool-"

"Yes, yes. I knew you would love the idea~!"

"Yes~! I love this~! Thanks for the wonderful thought Rein~!"

"Hmmm~!"

This really is exciting.

Something special. Something for only the two of us. Something that is not only a blessing and curse but also a weapon.

I can already think how we can use this... how I can use this 'system'.

This was an unexpected and beautiful gift, this coin in my hand and the hand I was holding right now.

"Thanks..."

It was just like the special thing she said a while ago, which meant a lot to me, and this game thing which is even more special because it was something that would be for 'us'.

She nodded happily, and she had taken the oath to faithfully follow the rules of this game so, I had to do the same, right?

-Oooooooooong.

That black light that seemed more like the night sky filled with stars was her original energy, the one unlike my white one that seemed more like bright sunlight.

It was different from my Solnova, though. This was closer to the light of pure source light than that one.

My Solnova was the same color as her flames and origin energy, and the origin energy I possessed was just slightly different.

Well, how to put it... let's just say it was like daylight.

The light appeared in my hand and I promised the same way she had just a moment ago and when I was finished and the light from my hand disappeared, something we both expected happened.

-Oooooooong.

The origin oath lights from both of us a moment ago reappeared, became a sphere, and came before us.

A small marble-sized sphere of night starry sky and daylight illuminated this small round table and a small surrounding area, and we just looked at this phenomenon.

This was something that happens after a two-way origin oath, the phenomena of oath strengthening.N0vel--Biin hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Two origin energy comes together, resonates with each other, and establishes a harmonic symphony, strengthening the oath's strength even further.

And, when the same situation happens with a group of origin skill users, when they agree upon a single thing and take an origin oath for that, a similar but even more spectacular phenomenon happens.

And that one doesn't just strengthen the oath, but also partially makes it a 'truth' that the 'world' oversees.

But that thing, a group of origin skill holders taking an oath, is a rare occasion that requires special places to succeed.

Anyway, the two marbles of energy spun slowly around each other, and though there was some kind of weird sound for a moment, it strangely vanished quicker than I expected and the two spheres became one and just.. vanished.

This thing looked quite spectacular and both our eyes were shining at this.

This was beautiful... and she looked gorgeous in that dim black-white light.

I knew she had the same thought while looking at me, and it was understandable.

But, as this thing didn't last for much longer, we didn't get the chance to admire each other for longer.
