The World's Strongest Wizard Becomes Manaless

By Dennis Jode

In a world where mana means unparalleled power, Zephyr Chronis sits comfortably at its peak.

Granted the title of “The Grand Wizard” at a young age, Zephyr has always been the genius everyone around fears and respects. However, some things were about to change when he acquires a cursed sword artifact— The Ruler’s Blade.

Suddenly devoid of any mana, Zephyr could only hope to rely on his mediocre physical ability.

The future looked bleak, but not with the Ruler’s Blade’s power at hand—

[Reached damage threshold— Stamina increased!]...

[Reached speed threshold— Agility increased!]...

“I— I can actually get stronger with this!”

Chapter One

In the world of Osbard, humans lived in fear of monsters.

In this world, humans were near the bottom of the food chain. They constantly lived in fear. No one had the power to fight back against the monsters. Every attempt to subdue monsters ended up in a disaster. Humans were just not strong enough to face them.

Because of this, humanity was close to extinction. All of the kingdoms that humanity built was overwhelmed by monsters, except for one; The Kingdom of Lochwood.

The Goddess who governed Osbard took pity on the poor humans and gave them a gift.

From now on, every child that is born in this world will receive my blessing. With this, humanity will be able to survive. The Goddess announced to the remaining humans.

Every child who was born from then on was born with mana. Some had strength far stronger than the average human. Some had speed who surpassed even the fastest of horses. And some had the power to control the elements. With the Goddess's blessing, humanity was able to fight back and expand their horizons.

They were now able to defeat monsters and reclaimed the lands that were once theirs.

Humanity has stabilized. As long as they were careful, monsters were no longer a threat to them. As time went on, the humans who did not receive the Goddess's blessing died out, and so, every single human on Osbard had mana.

Mana became an essential part of humanity's everyday life. Almost everything that humans use was powered by mana. The technology that humans developed all required mana to operate.

As technology developed, people were able to identify the potential strength of a human. A card with the person’s blood would show a persons Statistics, or as people called them, Stats. Stats were divided into 5 classifications:

- refers to physical power.

- refers to speed.

- refers to the skill in handling objects, flexibility, and reflexes.

- refers to the ability to sustain effort, defense and regeneration.

- refers to the amount of mana and how much control a human has over it.

Each individual stat is graded, from C as the lowest, to S as the highest. The higher the grade, the better the human’s stat is. The stats also helped tell the person’s affinity to a style of combat, from using different weapons, such as swords, daggers, and bows, to using magic.

Having a C-grade stat means that the stat is the same as the average person. Most people are born with stats that are all C-grade. Having a B-grade stat means that you are more proficient than the average human. Having an A-grade stat means that you are one of the elites, but they are incredibly rare. All of the people with an A-grade stat become well-known people, since they hold incredible power.

An S-grade stat was even rarer than A-grade. So far, only three people were said to have S-grade stat, and each one of them had the power equivalent to a large kingdom’s army.

In the north, inside a huge forest, there lived one of them.

Zephyr Chronis.

At the age of 10, his stats were identified, and every stat was C-grade, except for one…

His Spirit stat was S-grade.

Kingdoms immediately sent scholars to teach the child magic. He was a prodigy. After a few years, he had full control over his enormous mana pool. At the age of 20, all of the Kings from around the world unanimously decided that he is the strongest magician to have ever roamed the lands, and so he was granted the title: The Grand Wizard.

Kingdoms tried to win him over in order to ensure their own safety, but he refused each and every one of them. He wanted to be free, and so he roamed the lands, going into dungeons and collecting rare artifacts, which are powerful items that increases a person’s power.

…

I finally found one. Zephyr smiled as he stood in front of a huge cave.

This seems like a large dungeon. He said with a huge smile on his face. He was clearly happy that he finally found a dungeon.

He opened a small pouch tied on his belt and took out his main gear, which were all artifacts.

- a mask that instills fear on the user’s opponents. The mask resembles a human skull.

- a wooden staff which amplifies the user’s magic power.

- a cloak that resisted cuts and impacts.

He put the gear on and the aura around him immediately changed. He was getting ready for battle.

He started walking into the dungeon. Different kinds of monsters were waiting for him inside. First, he met a small army of goblins, which were all afraid of him. The goblin’s instincts told them that the man before them was not someone they could handle. On top of that, Zephyr’s mask amplified the fear that the goblins felt.

Before him, the goblins couldn’t move out of fear. Zephyr pointed his staff at them.

Incinerate.

A huge burst of flames erupted from Zephyr’s staff. The flames were big enough to cover the entire goblin army. Moments later, the flame started dissipating. In its wake, not even the goblin’s corpses remained.

Zephyr continued walking. The next monsters were the same. Orcs, skeletons, zombies, all of them were destroyed. None of them were even able to take a step towards Zephyr.

After walking for a while, he finally reached the end of the dungeon. A huge iron door was in front of him. Finally… the boss room. Zephyr sighed in relief. The dungeon was way bigger than he anticipated. Dungeons usually only had one or two types of monsters in them. This was the biggest dungeon he had ever encountered.

There better be something good here. He mumbled to himself.

He pointed his staff at the iron door. Winds, blow.

A huge gust of wind, powerful enough to be called a typhoon, came into the cave and slammed the iron door open.

Zephyr sighed. If only I have enough strength to open these doors manually… He shook his head. Since all his other stats are C-grade, he knew that he was too weak to even attempt to open doors manually.

He walked inside the room. In the room was a huge stone golem. It was around five meters tall. As Zephyr walked towards it, the ground started to shake. The golem was so huge that every movement it made shook the ground.

"Wow, I’ve never seen one this big before,'' Zephyr said while genuinely surprised.

The golem raised its foot. It was about to crush Zephyr.

Wait! If you do that, the entire mountain will crumble!, Zephyr shouted at the golem.

The golem continued to raise its foot. Since the golem was huge, he was quite slow.

Zephyr sighed as he pointed his staff towards the golem.

The golem’s foot started descending towards him.

Freeze. In the blink of an eye, the golem became encased in ice.

Can’t let you destroy the forest I lived in… Zephyr mumbled.

He continued walking past the golem.

There should be an artifact in this dungeon… If not, I’ll be so angry. Zephyr mumbled once more.

Despite the dungeon being a piece of cake for him, for normal adventurers, it would have taken a few A-grade people to beat it. It was by no means an easy dungeon for adventurers. The difficulty of this dungeon would have been quite high.

Zephyr finally reached the end of the cave. Piles of gold coins were scattered around him, and in the middle of everything, a
