Life Before Becoming an Omniverse Entity-Chapter 41: So, did you form it
"Hmm… Father, how am I supposed to connect it to my dragon heart and change the storage location of mana?" Renan asked, still not fully understanding him.
"Don’t worry, you’ll understand when you feel your dragon heart," Gracen said, thinking inwardly, ’Well, that’s what Namari told me to say.’
Renan stared blankly at Gracen for a while before sighing and saying, "Huh… okay," as he closed his eyes again, focusing on his dragon heart.
Just like when he tried to focus on his inner mana, it didn’t take long for him to feel his own dragon heart, but when he finally did, he was once again amazed by the sheer wonder of being a dragon. ’Amazing,’ he thought inwardly while focusing on his dragon heart. ’It feels like some kind of machine or engine… a heavy machine that is constantly working, absorbing the impure mana from the outside, refining it into pure mana, and storing it inside the heart. It’s doing all of these things at the same time without stopping, truly amazing,’ Renan thought as he marveled at his dragon heart’s capabilities.

Renan heard and felt his heart beating vividly as he focused entirely on it. It was a strange sensation, but at the same time, it felt oddly natural, as if he had always known this feeling but had only now become aware of it. The rhythmic beating of his dragon heart synchronized with his breathing, creating a deep sense of connection between his body and mana.
’I think I should start forming the circle now,’ he thought as he pulled pure mana out of his dragon heart to form his first circle. He knew that he had to be careful—this was his first time trying to create a mana circle, and even though dormant mana wasn’t dangerous, he still needed to make sure he followed his father’s instructions exactly. ’Since Father said dormant mana isn’t dangerous as long as I don’t actively try to use it, changing it into an active state, and since I have already controlled the mana outside my body for a while, it shouldn’t be hard to form a circle around my heart,’ he reasoned as he controlled the mana, bringing it around his heart and beginning to form a circle with the pure mana.
Slowly, he gathered the mana, shaping it carefully to make sure it didn’t disperse or move in the wrong direction. It felt similar to drawing a perfect circle in the air, requiring precise control. Even though he had some experience with mana manipulation, this was different from anything he had done before.
It wasn’t very hard for Renan to form a circle around his heart, as all he had to do was direct the mana and link it together. However, since he was still inexperienced, his control wasn’t perfect, and the circle had some flaws. Even so, it was still complete enough to be considered a functional mana circle. He could feel that the structure wasn’t perfect, but at least it was stable enough.
’~Fua, that was hard,’ he thought, wiping away imaginary sweat from his forehead, relieved that he had managed to finish forming the circle. ’Now I should connect the mana circle to my dragon heart, forming a connection between them, or more like a bridge,’ he thought as he focused on the next step.
He didn’t have to think too much about it, as his instincts were already guiding him. His body seemed to know exactly what to do—it was as if the knowledge had always been inside him, waiting to be unlocked. Acting on instinct, he linked the heart and the circle together.
The moment the connection was made, he felt a faint pulse run through the circle, confirming that it had successfully linked with his dragon heart. The mana inside the circle started to flow smoothly, circulating properly without any resistance. It was as if a new system had been installed in his body, something that had always been meant to be there.
’Huh, so this is what Father meant,’ he thought as he carefully observed the connection. ’It feels like I’m connecting wires,’ he compared. ’But unlike normal wires, this connection isn’t just transferring energy—it’s allowing the mana to flow freely, forming a natural cycle.’
For a brief moment, he simply focused on the sensation, getting used to the feeling of mana circulating between the circle and his heart. It felt strangely normal, yet unfamiliar at the same time, like learning how to move a new limb for the first time.
’Anyway, now I should change the storage location of pure mana from my heart to the circle,’ he told himself. Since the connection had already been established, all he needed to do was redirect the mana’s storage point.
And just like he expected, it wasn’t difficult. Now that he had already linked the two, switching the mana’s storage location felt completely natural. In just a moment, it was done. He felt the shift as the pure mana, which had always been stored solely in his dragon heart, now started accumulating in the newly formed circle instead.
’Now that it’s done… I don’t feel any different. The mana is just storing inside the circle instead of my dragon heart. I don’t feel stronger or weaker—it’s the same as before,’ he thought as he opened his eyes after confirming that everything was functioning properly.
Gracen, who was just standing there waiting for Renan to form his first circle, finally saw him open his eyes after ten minutes. He didn’t say anything, letting Renan get familiar with his surroundings again. After all, he had been focusing intensely, so he might need a second to stabilize himself. After that, Gracen spoke, bringing Renan’s gaze upon him.
"So, did you form it?" he asked, already knowing full well that he did—after all, it was impossible for Renan to fail.
Renan, who also confirmed it by nodding his head, made Gracen’s small smile turn into a wide one. He started patting Renan on the head and said, "As expected of my son," his voice filled with pride, feeling truly proud of him.
