*DAP DUP DAP DUP* The shine on his chest had receded. The sound of the newly beating mana heart can be heard by Adrian and Cassie. “The result is as to be expected. Only by breathing, I can feel mana flowing into me.” Adrian felt proud that the modification is a success. “You look different. Your presence is just like us but you are not.” Cassie gives her comment after realizing the change to Adrian. “That is a part of the idea came from. Don’t think about it too much. We need to proceed with the second and final step now. “Adrian just skip Cassie’s questions as he just had a little over 5-6 hours left until someone knock on the door. “Aria, now it’s your turn. I will continuously pump absorb mana, you need to split my mana passage and turn weave it into a mana vein as I cannot modify the soul yet.” Adrian gives instructions on Aria on what to do. The second step is using Eve’s Mana Method to make a mana vein connecting to the core, th

Inside a forest a boy can be seen wallowing in mud that he created himself. If someone passed by, they will think of it as a crazy kid that have nothing to do just wallowing in mud like a pig when it is winter. But what he is doing has a purpose. His actions always had a purpose. “Okay… Scent is masked. I’m just around 500 meters distance from the cave. Aria, how is my condition?” Adrian felt that his adrenaline levels are at a high. He always starts by asking his AI partner on his condition every time he is on a mission. It is his ritual. [Responding. Physical body is in great condition.] [Notice. Mana is at 92%. Optimal amount for the mission.] [Warning. Soul damage detected. Master will feel pain every time he circulates mana.] [Advice. Since Master don’t have enough mana to cast ‘Primordial magic: Soul enhancement’. Master needs to equip Excalibur before entering the nest to resist the poison and the miasma. Also, Master needs finish the b

Back at the Cross county, the family gets back to work. Malcom went back to his desk and back to reading the reports with Amanda’s help. Marylyn now had become independent, and starts her own studying. Adrian went to Light Edge town to meet with Rupert and see the production of disc. “Morning, Rupert. How are things coming along?” Adrian walks into the workshop with Ralph. “Oh… There you are, kid. Mornin’. Everything is good and going smoothly. Some news for you. A merchant met me some time ago to buy rights to sell the disc. I rejected him of course. The name of the game had the count’s name. He seems to be crazy, wanting to copy your idea.” Rupert tells Adrian about his encounter. “That is fine. I already have evidence and witnesses that the game is my invention. Enough about that. Its time to spread the game. How about I give you the rights to manage it.” Adrian announces with a big smile on his face. “I’m not good with this ‘business’ stuf

Two days after Adrian’s burst of anger at Ralph. One week after the last meet. It’s time to meet Kathleen to settle the distribution of Cross Catch manuals. Luckily, she lives with Rupert so he did not need to go to move to other location to finish the matter. Ralph had been quiet since then. He just nods and say ‘yes’ like a good servant. The relationship turns awkward when Ralph does his morning training elsewhere. Adrian saw him in ‘Map’. Ralph change places to train every morning. Adrian is not worried about it. Ralph is still viewing Adrian as a kid. Adrian just wants him to stop. That is all, no hatred. “Hello! Rupert, Kathleen. Are you in there?” Adrian called out the couple’s name outside the workshop. After a minute of silence, ha calls out again. “Hello? Is anyone in there?” Adrian makes a puzzled expression. Rupert should be out by now to greet him. This is unusual. So, he wait a little bit and try again, but still no answer. <

‘Flash of Light’ is Adrian’s self-made spell. It is the only spell he created using ‘Deconstruct’ and ‘Construct’ that provide absolute mobility. When Adrian created this spell, he did not know that there are other elements beyond the 10 elements, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Smoke, Ice, Lightning, Plant, Light and Dark. After reliving the live of the Primordial Adam and Eve, he discovered God Elements. Space, Time, Divine and Creation. The elements that only Gods can possess. Eve is the first one to broke the taboo, but was spared after ##### decision. The Space element that Eve created is kept a secret and the Gods had prepared portals throughout Etterra as a gift form the duels shown by the Primordials which had been lost in time by now. Adrian tried to copy what Eve had done to use Space element but the magic circle keeps breaking because he is still weak currently, compared to Eve. So, the only reliable method he had now is the Light spell, ‘Flash of Light’
