Meitellia seemed to have thought of something and said, "Ming Ge hasn't opened a book since becoming an adventurer."

"There's no other way; after all, my abilities have already surpassed the existing system."

Ming Ge said, "Now I am the creator. All the content in the books is recorded in my brain. I don't need books as a medium at all."

"Oh, right."

Ming Ge seemed to have thought of something and said, "If you're bored, I'll write you a story."

"Like <JoJo's Bizarre Adventure>?"

Meitellia's eyes flashed with anticipation.

Since using the Enlightenment Ritual to transform his spiritual power, Ming Ge has rarely told stories to Meitellia.

As mentioned before, the stories in this world are mostly heroic tales, and the original texts preserved by the two great clans of Zeus and Hera, which have existed for thousands of years, have not been altered by later generations.

Regardless of the type, the stories of heroes are all familiar to them, so there are basically no good stories to read.

"It's a different genre. This time, I'm going to talk about a fantasy story with magic. I can assure you, this is a genre you've never heard of before."

Ming Ge smiled slightly and said, "This is a story of adventure and battle, friendship and bonds, titled -- Fairy Tail."

P. S.: The storytelling segment at the beginning has been removed in this major revision. This was the first time the story of 'Fairy Tail' was told in this book, and the second storytelling segment was Phantom Blood first one given to Meitellia.

Chapter 121 The Story

"Whether fairies have tails or not, whether fairies even exist at all, remains an eternal mystery and an eternal adventure. That's the origin of our guild."

Ming Ge took out the parchment scroll, and with a stroke of her pen, this passage was imprinted at the beginning as an introduction.

"Fairies... do you Ming Ge the race you created, Mingge?"

Meitellia, puzzled.

"The so-called fairy is a term 'made up from imagination,' and the fairy I created is also derived from this."

Ming Ge said softly, "Fairies are a beautiful race that brings hope, and their pursuit of dreams is endless—that is the meaning of fairies."

"Fantasy?"

Meitellia, puzzled.

"It means that reality may not exist; it's a fictional story."

Ming Ge pointed to the text on the parchment scroll.

Whether fairies have tails or not, whether fairies even exist at all, remains an eternal mystery and an eternal adventure.

"I see."

Meitellia's anticipation was high, and she urged, "Then hurry up and write! I'm really looking forward to the next part of the story."

After hearing Ming Ge's story, Meitellia understood that Ming Ge must be an exceptionally talented bard.

It doesn't have to be a real story; even fictional tales can touch people's hearts.

However, she had been so focused on studying magic and learning to read that Meitellia had forgotten about it.

"This story comes from my world."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "With my current memory, I can easily imprint it directly using magic."

"That's really convenient."

Alfia exclaimed.

"Personalized acquired magic can only serve as a trump card for victory and a personal banner, not as the main system."

Ming Ge said, "The true meaning of magic lies in its ability to increase productivity and combat effectiveness, as well as its high versatility and widespread applicability."

"Universality and widespread applicability..."

Alfia understood a little better; the innate magic created by Ming Ge was not 'powerful' at all, but rather had something far more precious about it.

The Divine Blessing is something that only a few can possess, and not all adventurers who are inscribed with this Falna can develop magic. Therefore, mages are a very small minority.

In this way, the innate magic created by Ming Ge becomes even more valuable.

This type of highly versatile magic will inevitably become widespread in the future, but only if people become 'citizens' of Ming Ge.

Before that... we can give this world a little shock.

The story of Fairy Tail is a tale of family, companionship, and adventure.

For a sensitive girl like Meitellia, the readability of the story is of utmost importance.

In contrast, the more pragmatic Alfia might place greater emphasis on the magical system.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Fairy Tail is an older anime; its magic system is far more novel than anything in this world.

However, the mages of Fairy Tail are vastly different from the mages of this world.

The magic of mages in this world is essentially mental energy (Mind), and even the magic stones of monsters are equivalent to tangible condensations of mental energy.

The magic in the Fairy Tail world is true elemental energy, similar to some of the fairies created by Ming Ge.

In the Fairy Tail world, magic can be learned and mastered; this is considered innate magic, while magic inspired by Divine Blessing is acquired magic.

The reason why we can learn innate magic but not acquired magic is because acquired magic is solidified magic, that is, magic inscribed on the magic grid.

Because innate magic can only be used by a few 'magical races', and it is very difficult to use, has little power, and is prone to causing explosions due to uncontrolled magic.

For various reasons, this world has essentially abandoned innate magic.

It was only after Ming Ge appeared that this gap was filled.

"Then... let's begin."

Ming Ge smiled happily.

Ming Ge was naturally overjoyed to be back in her primary role.

Writing stories with a joyful mood has greatly improved Ming Ge's efficiency... although, her efficiency was already ridiculously high to begin with.

In just a few minutes, Ming Ge had engraved all the contents onto the parchment scroll, which was then commissioned to be published as a book.
