Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: 0.5 Update, 5 Star Magic Power

[Internet Magic Alpha 0.5 Version Update Announcement]

1. Added a new section to Magic Net: 'Weekly Sorcerer' (View details).

2. Added a new section to Magic Net: 'Magic Council ERA' (View details).

3. Introduced 'Special Account Certification':

- Accounts with a yellow "V" next to their username are institutionally certified, like ''Weekly Sorcerer''.

- Accounts with a blue "V" mark are official 'Magic Council ERA' accounts.

- Accounts with a red "V" mark are personally certified.

- Accounts with a black "V" mark belong to Dark Mages.

In most cases, special certifications must be actively requested. After verification, the mark will be applied.

(Developer's Note: Would a Dark Mage really apply for certification? If anyone dares, I'd personally "admire" them.)

5. Added a new feature: 'Magic Net Express' (View details).

6. This update is a beta version. If you encounter any issues, please report them in the 'Update BUG Feedback Thread' on the forum. Valid feedback will be rewarded with a significant amount of points.

7. Fixed several major bugs.

...

This update was far more extensive than previous ones. As Nate slept, the outside world buzzed with excitement. Despite the late hour, many night owls eagerly began testing the new features. Of course, some users focused on the BUG Feedback Thread.

Soon, thousands of mages flooded the forum, immediately noticing the pinned official thread in red text.

[Update BUG Feedback Thread]

Dear Internet Magic users,

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to you all.

I'm Nate, the developer of Magic Net, also known by the username 'Sigma Male'.

This 0.5 version update has introduced many new features, and there may still be undiscovered issues. If you encounter any, please report them in this thread.

Depending on the severity of the issue, rewards of 1,000 to 10,000 points will be given.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to 'Magic Council ERA' and Chairman 'Crawford Seam'. I am honored to have been awarded the title of one of the 'Ten Wizard Saints'.

To celebrate, all users who leave a comment in this thread will receive 500 points.

Each user is limited to one reward.

Best regards,

—Nate (Developer)

...

The thread quickly filled up with comments:

Jura Neekis: "Congratulations, Nate, on becoming a Saint. I hope we can exchange magical knowledge in the future."

Young and Handsome: "Wow, Nate-chan became a Saint just like that? The Council has great taste. Congrats! Want to join Blue Pegasus?"

Jenny Realight: "@Sigma Male, I hear you're handsome? Want to go on a date? ?? @The Departing Traveler, I was the cover girl in last week's 'Weekly Sorcerer'! What about you?"

Jenny Realight: "@Sigma Male, how do I apply for personal certification? I'm Jenny Realight, a mage from Blue Pegasus."

BlueFire54: "So close to the developer! Lick~"

Windlike Warrior: "500 points! Thank you, Nate!!"

DogisFriend: "Jenny Realight?! Can I add you as a friend?"

Shinigami: "Hmph, if even you can become a Saint, then the title of Saint means nothing!"

Promise: "??? Isn't the guy above Dark Mage Erigor? Wasn't he defeated by Nate during the Eisenwald attack on the guildmaster alliance?"

Shinigami (Erigor): "Damn you, Council dogs!"

Duke of Dreams: "Hahaha, I heard your entire Eisenwald was wiped out before you even saw the Guild Masters. ??"

Ieka: "Lol, Erigor still dares to show his face here? Wasn't last time embarrassing enough?"

Boze: "Nate, don't waste your time with clowns like him!"

Shinigami (Erigor): "You Council dogs just wait! One day, I will return! The Oración Seis will destroy you all!"

Boze: "@The Departing Traveler, hey Mira, why not ban him like you banned me last time?"

Despite the rapid growth of the thread, very few actual bug reports came in. Most were just users trying to get noticed or asking to be friends with Nate.

...

The next day, Nate woke up feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep. The first thing he noticed was a strange sensation in his body.

"My magic power has increased..."

The surge of magic left him feeling energized. He checked his system panel.

[Magic Power: ★★★★★]

"Not bad. I've finally reached a level close to Laxus," Nate thought, feeling satisfied.

Just as he was about to start his morning routine, Ultear's mother, Ur, materialized from the depths of the Magic Net.

"Nate, we have a problem," Ur said, looking weary.

"What's wrong?" Nate asked, frowning. "Did a bug pop up?"

Ur shook her head. "I've been monitoring the feedback thread, and I haven't seen any major issues yet."

After a pause, she added, "The growth of the magic source has suddenly slowed down a lot!"

Nate quickly shifted his consciousness into the Magic Net.

In the binary world of zeros and ones, Ur's domain resembled a snowy landscape, complete with a cozy wooden cabin. This setting helped Ur feel more at home while managing the Magic Net.

Though everything here was virtual, it all felt incredibly real.

Once inside the Magic Net, Nate snapped his fingers. Instantly, the ice and snow beneath their feet shattered into binary code, plunging them into a dark void where they stood before a massive ball of light.

Ur, looking serious, explained, "The magic source was growing quickly before, but since the update, it's slowed down a lot."

Nate assessed the situation. The reservoir of magic power in front of him now held about 400 stars worth of energy—double what it had been before.

"It's still growing, just slower than before," Nate said thoughtfully. "I suspected this would happen. Both the voice chat and mail features consume a lot more magic than previous functions."

"Could it stop growing entirely?" Ur asked, concerned. "If the consumption is too high, the magic source might shrink or dry up."

Nate wasn't too worried. He suspected the system would stabilize over time.

To reassure her, he drew out a full five-star's worth of magic from the source and injected it into Ur's body.

In an instant, Ur became fully solidified. To the naked eye, she no longer appeared ghostly at all—she looked fully human.

"Why are you giving me so much magic all of a sudden?" Ur asked in surprise.

'You can thank your daughter,' Nate thought, smiling. Ur still had no idea about his relationship with Ultear.

"You've been working hard lately. Consider it a reward," Nate replied with a gentle smile. "You should get out more—spending all your time here could become mentally exhausting."

After all, he had promised Ultear that he would take good care of her mother, and Nate always kept his promises.
