Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

SCREECH~

The mana train started moving after a minute. Its movement was very smooth, it didn't shake in the slightest. It continued moving without making a sound.

Zick sat beside the window seat and looked out of it. There were only a few people in the whole train which made it even more quiet.

The whole mana train was enhanced with mana so that it wouldn't get damaged quickly. It didn't create any pollution nor did it consume any electricity or fuel.

All this train needed was mana. The whole mana train worked using mana cores.

The mana core falls in the category of alchemy. Even though the first continent didn't excel in alchemy like the second continent, that didn't mean that there wasn't any alchemist in the first continent at all. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Alchemy profession is something that can be chosen by anyone, but to walk in this path many years of dedicated work is needed.

An alchemist must use his brain more than his body. If a person doesn't put enough effort or just isn't smart enough then it isn't possible to make any progress.

There are other problems along with it too. They needed to protect themselves in case their experiment explodes or there is also the problem of money.

Only a place like the alchemy tower where people with enough dedication for alchemy are chosen have a good environment for raising alchemists.

The first continent didn't create an alchemy tower like the second continent because a lot of resources would be expended in it. Using it in the other aspects would be a lot better, the chances of them surpassing the second continent in alchemy was impossible after all.

Mana cores are different from golem cores.

The golem core absorbs the mana in the atmosphere constantly but the mana core only absorbs mana when activated Manually. Both of them have certain limits.

Finishing the apple in his hand, Zick burnt it using magic and took out another one from his space ring. There was no advertisement for station names in the train like on Earth, instead the ticket in his hand would start shining when his station approached.

The train moved at a fast pace. It was already turning dark out of the train as the night was approaching. The sun had already set, it was twilight right at the moment.

After ten minutes, the ticket in Zick's hand started shining in the red light.

'Though the civilization of this world is low, they are able to catch up to the Earth's level in some aspects easily using magic.....' Looking at the ticket, Zick couldn't help but think this.

It didn't take long for the mana train to reach the station.

Stepping out through the entrance, Zick looked at the ticket in his hand. It slowly broke into mana particles and flew away.

Not bothered by it, Zick started walking out of the mana train station. He had understood the principle behind how the magic worked in the ticket. He was confident in himself to preserve it after a few experiments.

A crowded street entered Zick's vision. The festive mood could be felt from all the things in the streets. The street lamps started glowing, illuminating the street further.

'According to the novel, Aeiron met with Celine in the plaza of the Feahert district and it was night at that time.'

Zick walked through the street leisurely. There were many people walking while talking to each other on the sidewalks. There were even demihuman who passed by him occasionally.

Walking for a while, Zick found a magic item shop easily because of his superior mana sensitivity.

CLINK~

When Zick opened the door, the sound of a bell rang out.

"What might you need sir?" The receptionist who looked to be in her 30s spoke while evaluating Zick through his attire. Seeing his well made dress, she knew that without a doubt he was a noble.

"Give me the best space ring you have." Zick directly stated his demand walking in front of the receptionist.

"Yes, please wait for a second." Saying this, the receptionist walked towards one of the shelves and started rummaging through it. Taking out a small wooden box she walked back in front of Zick.

"This is the best space ring we have right at the moment." The receptionist kept the box in front of Zick above the table.

Picking up the box, Zick opened it without any hesitation and looked at the ring within it. It looked like a platinum ring with a purple gem in the middle of it. Catching it in his hand, he looked at its space capacity.

'More than 500 cubic metres.'

"How much?"

"3000 platinum coins sir." The receptionist spoke like it wasn't a huge price at all.

'300 million Dels....' Hearing the price, Zick wasn't much surprised. His current space ring was around 200 million Dels after all, well luckily he had the Melvix family's plaque at that time.

Zick would have liked to just buy one from Anelete but it wasn't possible as she didn't have any high specs. She gave the excuse that she didn't do much business in space rings.

Space rings of this level are a lot rarer than it appears.

'Now that I will be trying to become an enchanter I should just make one for myself in the future.' Zick consoled himself thinking this. He knew that he could make a lot of money selling the enchanted items that he made in the future so there wasn't much to worry about.

Paying the money through his space ring, Zick put the new ring in the index finger of the other hand.

'Let's go to the plaza now....'

Zick started heading towards the plaza. He would randomly buy things that looked delicious along the way as he went there. He even found one of the shops which was mentioned in the novel.

It was an armoury shop which was known as the best one in the Feahert district, it's name was beirter armoury. It was the place from where the protagonist used to buy any weapon he needed.

Zick wasn't interested in it at all. He already had a cursed sword which was almost indestructible and his dragon scales.

Zick arrived at the plaza soon, he didn't need directions as he just had head towards centre of the Feahert district to react there. It was larger than the plaza he had stopped by, when he reached the academic city. There were multiple fountains shining brightly even in the night.

The whole plaza was decorated with light which just made it even brighter.

'This should be the place....Even if it isn't doesn't matter.' Zick wasn't worried at all right now.

Even if Aeiron didn't appear today it didn't matter to him much. It shouldn't change the novel by a lot even if he didn't meet his future harem member today. His main aim was just to get some fresh air and the space ring.

Sitting upon the corners of the fountain, Zick took out one of the skewers which he had brought along the way and started eating it.

'Hmm....it's better than I thought. which animal meat is this? or is it monster meat?'

Having these random thoughts, Zick continued waiting for the protagonist.
