My Muscle System in the Mage World

A knock came from the door.

"Who is it?" Aur asked with a frown on his face.

"Elder Aur, it is time for your ceremony already," Cameron's voice came from outside the door.

"Already?" Aur asked with a slightly surprised expression.

"Tomorrow is the ceremony, Elder Aur," Cameron voiced from outside the room in a weird tone.

"Okay, you can leave for now," Aur nodded to Cameron, dismissing him immediately.

As Cameron resumed his post with a peculiar expression, thoughts churned in his mind. "He's been holed up in his room for almost a week now, not even coming out to eat. What is he doing in there?" A glint flickered in his eyes.

"It has already been a week, huh…" Aur's expression turned regretful, though not directed at Cameron or any external factor. Instead, it was directed at the flickering blue panel in front of him.

Stat Points: 0

Seeing the stats points at zero left him with a sense of dissatisfaction.

"I could have gathered some stats points if I was awake," he murmured, bitterness lacing his tone.

Each stats point mattered, and the fact that he could only gather one per day added to his frustration. There had been no increase in these flows, leaving Aur with a sense of missed opportunity.

Aur hadn't forgotten about his other attribute, which had been sitting at point 2 for a long time.

This attribute held its own value, but Aur had prioritized enhancing his physical prowess, desperately needing immediate strength. Consequently, he hadn't raised these attributes for a significant period.

While the intelligence attribute could offer substantial benefits in the long run, it couldn't provide immediate advantages, aligning less with Aur's current focus on physical enhancement.

Suddenly, his stomach rumbled like a tsunami had erupted, its noise reverberating throughout the room.

"Let's grab some food first," he said to himself, shaking his head with a regretful expression before walking out of the room.

Cameron was taken aback when he saw Aur emerge from the room.

"Didn't he just say his plans to continue his seclusion?" Cameron grumbled inwardly, though he dared not voice his thoughts aloud.

Aur smiled mysteriously, as if he could sense Cameron's thoughts.

"Order people to prepare dishes for me," he commanded.

"Yes, Elder Aur. The servants have also been acquired from the market," Cameron said respectfully.

"Oh," Aur nodded his head nonchalantly.

"Where are they?"

"Well," Cameron wore a troubled expression. "The dealer insisted on meeting you in person. He even offered his best slave as a gesture after meeting you."

Aur's brow furrowed at the mention of the dealer's request.

"Forget it, then. Summon the dealer; I'll meet him myself. I want to see who dares to oppose my might," Aur declared in a domineering tone, his aura suddenly released, bolstering his body by several margins.

With the release of his aura, his presence flooded the surroundings.

Boom!

The atmosphere grew heavy as Cameron's heart skipped a beat.

An overwhelming sense of danger emanated from Aur, triggering an instinctual response in Cameron. Even the normal blue mana in his mental space stirred, sensing Aur's terrifying presence.

"Yes, yes, young master," Cameron hurriedly bowed and left to fetch the dealer as soon as possible.

As Cameron walked, his expression turned cold. "That dealer... If he weren't backed by a landlord family, he would have met his end at my hands already."

Aur watched Cameron's retreating figure with a cold gaze.

It wasn't always best to be overly friendly, especially now that his status had been elevated to that of an Elder.

If he didn't assert himself as an Elder and acquiesced to every demand, he would be looked down upon by others, and his reputation would suffer, even without an official declaration of his Elder status.

Reputation was also a form of strength. Things like luck, reputation, and background could all be leveraged to enhance one's power. So, acting meek and friendly at this juncture would serve no purpose for Aur.

Lost in these thoughts, Aur made his way to the dining room, filled with luxurious furnishings and even a chandelier adorned with buzzing bugs placed inside them. Although they weren't a bug but were still an expensive thing to buy.

"Young master, how is the kitchen?" Lucy asked, her cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness.

"Good," Aur replied, casting a pleased glance around the kitchen before affectionately patting Lucy's head.

"Hehehe," Lucy giggled, revelling in the attention.

With a gentle guiding hand, Lucy led Aur to his seat at the dining table.

"Please, Young master," she said.

As Aur settled into his seat, the tantalising aroma of the food filled his senses, prompting him to close his eyes momentarily, savouring the moment.

"I wonder how much he can eat today," Lucy thought to herself, her eyes glittering as she surveyed the table. "There's at least ten kilograms of meat, and it's not just any meat—it's tier one beast meat. Each kilogram costs around one middle-grade mana crystal, even with the discount given to the Elder."

These delicacies were a luxury enjoyed by few, given their luxurious cost and rarity.

Because the beast meat only provided vital nutrients and vitamins that supplied the body's growth, it was useless in the further progress for wizards.

Even though it might offer some benefits, the cost simply didn't meet the need for strengthening the physique.

But it was a different case for Aur, who possessed absolute strength in his physique.

As Aur slowly took bite after bite, and the beast meat entered his stomach, it was instantly digested by the gastric acid in just a blink of an eye.

After the beast meat was digested, it transformed into a warm energy that slowly tempered his blood and Qi in his body.

His already vast ocean-like blood and Qi underwent another level of increase, and even his physique was gradually being strengthened.

With the increase in Aur's attributes, everything physically related to him became stronger and stronger, including his digestion speed, which was several times faster than an ordinary person's, without using any spells!

Feeling the increase, he nodded his head with a satisfied expression.

"I wonder why I am not affected by the restrictions that others have," Aur's eyes flickered as he looked at the blue panel in front of him.

His initial conjecture was that the system had made him immune to these world's restrictions.

However, after a long time, Aur thought otherwise. If that were the case, then when he released his blood and Qi outside his body, he would have been protected against that supreme will.

While thinking, he chewed the roasted meat, and instantly a chewy texture spread in his mouth followed along with some uncooked parts.

Unlike a normal beast, the meat of the tier one beast was undoubtedly hard, and cooking it was even more difficult. However, Aur didn't mind this at all except for the pleasing sensation to his taste buds. It didn't make a difference if it was raw or cooked, since his digestion was terrifying.

Lucy looked at Aur with disbelief as he gobbled and gobbled the meat like an insatiable monster without even stopping for once.
