  Well... I bought some physical supplies to begin the process of creating the runic system. I have to say, it feels weird to have actual physical items.

  I have hardly had the need for notebooks or pens in reality in a long time.

  If I have learned anything from writing this guide. I know that spending a small amount of time everyday on something can truly add up to something special.

  So. In addition to writing these stages. I'll spend 30 minutes everyday working on the 'runes'.

  What exactly will I be doing for these 30 minutes?

  Alright. This is going to be a little weird.

  I will essentially be scribbling random shapes over and over again.

  This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  What do I hope to achieve from this?

  This is actually quite an important process. Remember how I said that the hidden existence is different from the mortal body? You are not your hidden existence.

  I hope that as I write random 'runes'.

  Something will eventually 'click' in my mind and I'll have defined one.

  I have no idea how long a process this will be. I will treat this process like meditation. When meditating, you shouldn't focus on the endpoint. You should focus on the present moment.

  Thoughts come and go. You neither banish or entertain them.

  Once I have unlocked a rune. I'll then create a refined version over generations as time passes. Once I am satisfied with all 22 symbols. I'll publish the keys here.

  Once we have settled the keys. I'll likely write a program to help me 'type' using these runes. Don't forget that I will also need to have the pictographs for certain concepts.

  Just like how I have kept a log of my actions among these stages. I'll likely keep you guys up to date on the progress of the runes.

  So you might get a peak at the initial designs and iterations of the runes.

  In addition to the 22 main symbols and the other concepts. I'll also need to decide how to represent numbers. I think numbers as they are, can be pretty universal.

  The thought of programming a generator for my runic system is making me pretty hyped. I feel like an ancient old monster that is about to awaken.

  But in reality, it'll probably be quite the headache!

  I plan to code a sort of translator that converts keystrokes to the matching rune. I'll also need to code something that can decode it.

  This means that letters corresponding to the rune will matter a lot. I also want something that I can enter regular English into and then have it transform into the runic language.

  In the past. When I learned how to use a keyboard. I had to practice at first to familiarize myself with the keys. This was when I was a kid.

  So not only do I need to get used to writing the runes on paper. I'll need to get used to typing with it as well. There is so much work to do!

  This doesn't even factor in the puzzle of the magic circles and spell design.

  The fun part is... I decide all the rules.
