What exactly was a Mana Zone in this world?
It was a special area where pure magical power naturally gathered and accumulated. The amount of magical power contained within a Mana Zone could vary greatly depending on its location and formation, but even the weakest Mana Zone was valuable enough to be considered a treasure.
So, what did a Mana Zone react to?
A person's goodness?
Their courage?
Well… that wasn't entirely wrong.
A Mana Zone responded to people with strong wills and could share its power with them.
It inherited the characteristic of pure magical power being drawn toward powerful wills. The problem was that a strong will wasn't necessarily born from good intentions.
After all, it wasn't like everyone in this world was a novel protagonist.
When it came to human will, wasn't a malicious and sharp will often more powerful than a kind and gentle one?
That was why, even in the original story, most Mana Zones ended up being consumed by villains.
That's right.
