I followed the clue Uncle Zheng gave to me. My goal is Roimond Mountain. It is the highest mountain in this region. It is covered with snow all year long. Even in summer, it's freezing cold. But it's more famous for its lethality.Most of the people who went to the mountain either died by falling off one of the many cliffs or were attacked by wild animals. Because of these reasons people think it's cursed and tend to avoid it."It's already snowing. Further, I go it becomes colder."This mountain not only was huge and tall, but it was also close to the North Pole. There were roughly about three hundred kilometers between this continent and the North Pole. But it was still close enough to make this place freezing cold.Yesterday after talking with Uncle Zheng, I prepared some necessary tools and rations to eat while traveling. This is already my third day of traveling. According to Uncle, I will reach there in a day. So it will be four days when I could begin some research if there's a

The chilly weather of the mountains was keeping me awake. I couldn't even get a wink of sleep for the last four hours. I found a cave to shelter myself at night. Unfortunately, this wasn't the cave I was looking for. I tried to rest my body for tomorrow. Traveling for a whole day made me fatigued. Since I still couldn't find the cave I will have to travel tomorrow too. I took out a piece of cake from my bag and start eating it. If I can't sleep I'll at least eat something to energize my body. I will start moving soon so I should better ready myself before I begin moving again. The map uncle Zheng gave me isn't helping much. The path drawn in it was very vague. "How do I find the path? I have been walking all day and I still couldn't find the path. I guess I should move deeper into the mountain." I use this time to circulate my mana. It kept my body warm and recover some of my fatigue. I obviously didn't spend all of my mana like I used to do. But unlike normal, I kept it for hours

"Today we are going to have a PE lesson with another class. As usual, there will be competition."Said Mister Weaver, PE teacher. Today was essentially class 1-A's usual time to have a PE lesson. Class 1-A was the class where Oscar and the others were. Jason and the boys were restless. They were missing two people. Oscar and Mason weren't here for three days now."Teacher, who will we compete against?""Class 1-C. They should be here any minute now."Class 1-C was Carla's class. And in just a few minutes they come out of the changing rooms and joined class 1-A. The boys of the 1-A were depressed seeing the cheerful expression on the boys of the class 1-C."I already hate them." (Matt)"I heard they have several people who are great at sports." (Rick)"Now I hate you too." (Matt)"You aren't the only one." (Rick)Matt looked at both classes. He compared them and became even more depressed. With Mason and Oscar being absent they were already missing two people but to think that the othe

I fought against a spirit and won. I also created a new element. And finally, by sunset, I arrived at the cave described on the map. It was surrounded by many different boulders. From afar it was impossible to notice the cave because of the boulders and the snow. There are also huge trees in the surrounding area."I must admit. This looks natural if you don't pay close attention. As expected of grandpa."The entrance of the cave looks like a giant broken boulder. If I didn't know this beforehand I wouldn't able to find it. The cave is connected to the mountain so there is a space behind the entrance. It doesn't look to be going deep. This must be done by some illusion.Wait, Uncle Zheng has come here before. So he should be aware of the supernatural. Or at least part of it. I slowly walked into the cave. As soon as I stepped into the cave I felt like I passed some sort of barrier. It was a weird feeling. I also felt my necklace vibrate. So that's what Grandpa Henry mentioned as "the k

The Hex. The third energy source I learned about. It works differently than both mana and aether. It had both similar and different uses compared to mana. As I continued to read about it from the grandpa's journals I noticed a certain thing about it. A person needs an organ called Hex Organ to be able to use this energy or produce it, to begin with.This Hex Organ, I remember hearing it in my nightmares. Is it just a coincidence? Nope, I don't believe it is. It is time for some truths to be revealed. But I couldn't find the answers I'm looking for in these journals. So I did the next thing I could do. Practice using or producing hex energy.Since my body is already capable of producing this energy to some extent I must have Hex Organ somewhere inside my body. The last time I did it was when I was fighting against that strange man and it was accidental at that time. So I have to figure out how to use it without absorbing it from the necklace.I sat cross-legged on the ground. I took a
