As the lich walked toward the members of the temporary alliance with a bloodthirsty glow and a deathly aura permeating around it. It looked like a savage demon king of hell that was out to get their souls.
The members of the alliance, who were trembling in fear and despair knew that there was nothing left for them to do and they were going to be killed. Their hearts were gripped with fear and their chests tightened.Now they were only waiting to be slaughtered without any resistance. They never imagined that death would come so quickly their breathing was hurried as they were very unwilling to die.WhooshA pitch-black ball of mana tore through the air to arrive before the members of the Tian family. It screeched through the air.Ahh!As the cries of anguish and suffering rang out in the gloomy underground room, the lich stopped for a second and the air stilled momentarily before a furious aura emanated out of the lich and rushed toward Alex.'You damned bastard! Ants playing cheap tricks on the verge of death?'It shouted in the minds of everyone present telepathically, all of them paled because the outburst was very strong and their internal organs tumbled about because of the soundless shout. Some of them lose their sense of balance as they fell on their butts.Even though it rang in all their minds the true victim of this fierce outburst was Alex who had again changed the trajectory of the lich attack and diverted it to hit the members of the Tian household. It made holes in their bodies as their screams rang out.It resulted in Enraging the lich who had already ignored the ant manipulating its attacks from the back and playing cheap tricks. It did not understand the purpose of deflection if the attack still killed people.Its voice raged in their minds, the members of the temporary alliance unaware as to what caused it to become so enraged.Alex standing close to the only member of the tian household had a panicking but sly look in his eyes.The lich was enraged by Alex's act of manipulating its attack so much that it didn't have the thought of enjoying the battle and only had blood in its eyes and a desire to kill this insolent and disgusting insect.Screech!The wind screeched as a dark shadow appeared behind Alex with so much speed that it looked as if it teleported there, and swung its magic staff before anyone had the time to react.--A few hours ago, a decrepit and disheveled corpse was lying on the bed in a small inn.It was shriveled and without a sign of vitality but this motionless corpse breathed once in a while making it evident that it wasn't dead. its heart beating very faintly after several seconds.If someone knew Alex very well and saw the withered body, he would immediately recognize that it was none other than Alex. He looked just deformed bones as he lay there.After the clone had formed after absorbing his vitality and most of all, a part of his soul. it had acquired independence.This resulted in the clone having a different personality and the reason that it left right after being born and not even helping the original Alex.It was because it thought that it had become superior, After all.It can be comprehended easily by the concept of yin and yang, a person had two kinds of yins and yang inside their body that lived in harmony with each other.But in the case of Alex, he had his yin and yang separated and formed into two separate entities making a great imbalance appear in his soul and body.And that is why the clone that constituted this messed up replication resulted in betraying its maker and going out to cause trouble. the clone has a personality vastly different than the original AlexAlex was lying in the room, and the mana in the atmosphere was slowly attracted toward Alex and seeped into his pores freely the reason behind this is that the mana inside Alex was starting to circulate a little and this circulation caused the mana to be attracted towards his dried up mana core.As the mana circulated in his corpse-like body his eyelids twitched and the mana started rushing toward him quickly.A Vortex was formed around him as the mana gathered inside his body it started to heal his body by a little and Alex started to regain his consciousness slowly.The mana gushed in his body like a dam had broken, his shriveled body gradually had flesh and blood being restored slowly. The mana showing its wonders.He opened his eyes slowly and groaned as he was feeling immense pain along with the weakness that came along with it.He regained his bearings gradually and then his mood became tragic, he started to tremble because of pain but even more because of the rage boiling in his heart.The process in which the mana started rushing to Alex waking up took only about a few minutes after the clone left him on his own devices.It was infuriating for Alex to remember his clone running away but he also felt fortunate that it didn't kill the original Alex as then the clone would've become the original but right now its life was uncertain with Alex waking up.It was because it didn't inherit the replication ability but on the other hand the original Alex had the replication and he could reabsorb the clone to regain the balance inside him.And so, a gloomy Alex stood up after having recovered a bit. because he had to get out of the ferenzi city before he was investigated for the phenomenon of so much mana forming a vortex above his head.Alex walked to the window after stopping the absorption of mana and jumped out to float with telekinesis even though it hurt his head."wha....what the hell happened here?""Could it be that an expert had a breakthrough?""maybe, maybe not, who knows."Whooshing sounds along with the shouts of the cultivators and the discussions of the common people rang in the air as they were very curious to know what caused the mana to behave this way.Before anyone even came close to the inn, Alex made a black cloak and sped away. He mixed in the crowd and gradually came out of the ferenzi city while listening to the crowd making false theories and spreading rumors.He didn't get out of the gate and flew over the city wall and sped towards the forest, while also hiding from the guards standing guard because he didn't want unnecessary trouble.After flying for a while he reached the goblin dungeon to recover and got his clones back.The clone that keeps watch outside the dungeon was absorbed right away and was replaced with another five weak clones who Alex had speed away and gathered mana frantically.Alex entered the goblin dungeon to find himself in the familiar rainforest.He walked towards the portal leading to the world of the goblins and called the clones that he had left behind to absorb them and the loot they have been gathering all this time.As he walked forward, the clones came to him with all sorts of loot.He absorbed the skill through the system and left the metal toys in one place and spread out his telekinesis in the form of tentacles to absorb the cores.The skills he had been gathering all this time also had to be deleted as the status sheet was full of skills and it was all messy so he decided to delete them and use the rejuvenating energy that strengthened him on an existential level to heal his soul.He had the thought of teaching his clone a lesson after recovering as he was still boiling with rage and anger."But I should recover first."'Wouldn't want to have my ass handed over by a tiny part of myself.'Thousands of telekinetic tentacles were spread out and Alex looked at his status sheet in which the skill portion was filled with all sorts of skills.He looked like a terrifying existence pondering on the laws of the universe as the telekinesis was used to its 'current' utmost potential to absorb the cores and recover."Time to clean up."With the utterance of that statement, the skills on his status screen were deleted and profound energy gathered to gush into his body and nourish it along with his injured soul.The feeling of getting stronger within short intervals of time and attaining higher levels of strength shortly, was an incredible feeling and anyone who felt it once would always be eager to feel it again. it was intoxicating and exhilarating.It felt like the elevation of his existence and the comfortable feeling he got from having his soul healed and the body recovered was euphoric. His injured soul trembled with joy and happiness as the energy spread inside him. His mind
The feeling of space movement overwhelmed his body for a millisecond before he found himself standing outside a bleak and malicious-looking cemetery with two iron bar gates at some distance from each other. Inside the graves could be seen along with the screams, growls, and moans pervading the area.The source of these sounds and the heavy atmosphere could not be seen but The feeling of death and destruction rumbled about as the mist in the air obscured the sight along with the certainty of life.The strong stench of blood and decay permeated around as the initial surprise at his speed at the moment he passed by the guards vanished as a solemn expression appeared on his face. As he entered the dungeon he became aware of the situation inside a little bit by the aura emanating from the area deeper inside the graveyard."It's really powerful," he said as he began to ponder on his next course of action. Because the feeling inside his body to rush in was stronger as he came inside the dung
Prologue: 10:27 AMIn a small rundown apartment, there was a boy about 17 years old, sleeping soundly. He was wearing worn-out clothes that were stitched in different places.He was sleeping peacefully with even breaths before he woke up because of feeling unease in his heart and was shocked to find himself in an unknown place. But he didn't panic as if it was an instinct and a thought formed in his mind involuntarily as if something was controlling his mind."Hmm, Is this what they call a lucid dream? Why does it feels so real?”This is only an idiot can think in this kind of situation but, no, he is not an idiot. He wouldn't think like this normally but this was a special case.After telling himself that he was still dreaming he got out of bed and looked around in amazement. The bedroom was very small, a bed, a table and a few other essentials were the only things present.After looking at everything he went to the wooden door that was hardly useable. He pushed it open and it made
Alex was a 17-18-year-old boy, 5-9 in height and slightly chubby built, wearing brownish black hair on his head, with a slightly big nose that didn't stand out on his chubby build, eyes sharp and a slightly mature air to him, making himself look older than he is."It's not a dream!" Thought Alex as he pinched his cheeks multiple times, but the reality was still the same he was not dreaming and this was an unfamiliar place that he woke up in.And he finally seem to understand his situation and became shocked and scared to know that he was in an unknown place and he didn't know how to go back home. His mind seemed to have been roused finally from its initial dizziness.Worst, he was in a prison for just talking to someone for a few seconds, the cruelty of the place could be determined by this fact alone. But after the initial rollercoaster of emotions, he adapted to the situation and became calm gradually as if it was only natural, and thought and pondered hard but he still didn't under
"Now, this is just ridiculous, I just transmigrated and was thrown into the prison and now the whole kingdom is being invaded, it's just one thing after the other," Alex said as he didn't know if he should laugh or cry at this point, it was acceptable before as he at least had the time to adapt to the situation but now the problems are coming back to back.At this point, the whole place was becoming unbreathable as he had impurities on his body that he didn't have the time to wash and now the smell of blood was the final strike of a hammer and he bent down and vomited even though he hadn't eaten anything. Belching sounds rang in the prison.Bleurgh!After 2-3 minutes, he accepted the situation he was in and began thinking amidst the fighting and the screaming. His optimism kicking in. ‘The whole place is under attack, I should get out before someone cut me to pieces, even though I started cultivation but the point is that I just started cultivation, how am I going to fight against the
After this was a feeling that came from so deep inside him that he felt like he discovered the meaning behind his existence and a single thought surfaced in his mind that extinguished all other thoughts like a flood, 'Move Forward''Yes, move forward and think about a way to live because I can do anything if I am alive but nothing if I am dead' he thought and washed and then walked along the stream to hunt for some animal. Because some animals should come to drink water even if it is the middle of the night.He didn't have to walk for long and saw a deer, it was drinking water as expected, Alex used mana in his legs for a boost in speed. And ran full speed towards it, brandishing the sword that he had picked up before and didn't have the time to use, as he reached it. instead of running, the deer turned to him and tried to attack, but failed as Alex evaded the attack and beheaded it cleanly.*sigh* "Finally something to eat after such a long day," he said as he prepared some wood to h
In the forest outside the kingdom Grimbow. Alex was running in the opposite direction of the kingdom trying to find a place to finally make a clone, an ability he got as a gift after he transmigrated but didn't use until now. He was very eager to try it."Hmm, this cave is good.”He said as he walked into a cave, trees were covering the entrance from one side. The other side was blocked by a rock Alex placed there.He sat down and cleared his mind and then focused on making the clone using mana.It was relatively simple as he just had to command his mana to operate and like a subconscious reaction, mana moved outside his body and a body was formed looking exactly like him, it took nearly half his mana and there is also the consumption to keep it but it was negligible."Looks exactly like me, except that it has both his arm.” He thought as he looked into the eyes of his clone and observed him properly."Wait, I can make a whole body so why can't I make a prosthetic arm?" He thought as
"What the…!!”Alex was shocked and excited to see the blue screen in front of his face, he was shocked because he already had a cheat but he got a system as an extra, and he was excited about the possibilities. Any manga and light novel lover would, at least once in their lifetime think of having a system."Let's see, my strength is E-Ranked, it must be because my body was tempered because of absorbing mana through all the pores, as it was written in that book I read in the library that the body can only be strengthened after One reaches the S-Rank, so it is a great advantage for me.""The same for health, and mana is related to my cultivation, so that leaves the concept and ability, let's talk about ability first, physical enhancement allows me to strengthen my body with mana as long as mana is provided since it is D-Rank then that means that it allows me to fight as a D-Ranked cultivator even physically, and now the concept."REPLICATION:: concept is an abstract idea generalized fro

From F-rank to S-rank is the mortal realm or body refining realm or preparation realm to be a true cultivator. a fundamental realm for cultivators.And this mortal realm is exactly as its name suggests. they are fundamentally mortals with a lifespan of one hundred at most. with extreme strength. that is all. but these are not the characteristics of a true cultivator.These are ranks of cultivation for the mortals to prepare to become transcendent beings. Preparation for the genuine cultivation to start.More than half of the population of this world is in this realm of cultivation and they can only be considered strong mortals and not true cultivators as those in the mortal realm have restrictions and shackles placed on them by the heavens. Shackles that prevent them from reaching their true potential.Which prevents them from even fully utilizing mana to its full potential and their soul is also locked, or rather restricted. They cannot utilize their soul power. Though there are some
Squish!Bam!Pow!Killing, crushing, and smashing of undead continued as the group proceeded on their way deeper inside the dungeon. looking for a way to get rid of this constant swarming ofZombies and skeletons.Screech!Screeching sounds echoed in the dungeon as the undead followed after them. Soon, they passed all the graves on the ground and reached a tombstone that had stairs alongside it leading underground. It gave an ominous feeling.Stairs that went underground, there was nothing nearby and this was the only way that seemed to give them a path ahead. A way forward. Although their sense of security rang alarm bells to never go inside.But they didn't have the time to consider another route as they were feeling a horrendous presence inside that was giving them a dreadful feeling of death and destruction. While behind them was the constant swarming of limitless and tireless skeletons and zombies. It was evident that it was the boss room.behind them were hordes of undead that s
The river of time flowed untouched and the gloomy air polluted the minds of people.Shaa!As Alex was engulfed in green smoke. some people looked at the same spot without blinking while some mocked Alex for being an idiot and not moving from the spot when Armando had told him to move."What an idiot! Mocked someone under his breath as he thought that it was a waste to let someone die this soon even if he was an idiotic clown. Even idiots could be used as a meat shield but this? Tch!"Yeah! Serves him right! Yelled one of the members of the Chu Family and Chu Feng stopped looking at the spot where Alex was standing and glared at him and he immediately straightened and shut his mouth.mocking someone's death frowns upon no matter the place. so he shut his mouth because of the displeasure of the people around him.But even if he hadn't. they didn't get to release more of their dissatisfaction as Alex walked out with a toothy grin on his face. his clothes are still as clean as before w
The sun shone in the sky with the rays of a new dawn.As the alliance between the four ancient families and the merchant association passed through the mirror-like portal rotating clockwise. The feeling of spacial movement spread out.They found themselves outside a cemetery it was dark all around them and only the two rusted steel barred gates could be seen close to each other in front of them giving them a choice of going left or right.The sky was unlit with an eerie silence all around giving them a feeling of perishing and wickedness.Looking inside through the barred gates only the dreadful mist could be seen. giving them a sense of dread and mystery.The leaders of the 5 squads were discussing their path forward after examining the choice of two routes.While Alex was standing there in his black suit and brown belt dangling on the right side of his black pant. looking at everything with interest as if he was in a museum and not in a life-threatening den of enemies where S-Rank i
now he had money so he directly went to an inn for preparations.The preparations that are mentioned so many times are very special and need to be done to get all the advantages without any danger to his own life."I have to link with the clone so that I can control it remotely," thought Alex as he asked for the direction to an average inn.Yes, remote manipulation, because he can command them remotely and he can also share their memories when he absorbs them. So, why can't he share their memories without absorbing them?The answer to that is a simple one because he didn't try to do it before but now that there is a need for that so he has to figure it out."A single room for three nights," he said to the receptionist without saying anything else. she told him that it would be 90 silver coins.One gold coin is worth a thousand silver and the ratio is the same as silver to copper.Alex gave her a gold coin and said," send dinner for one and you can keep the change," the receptionist a
Alex came out of the merchant association and looked around for a place to stay for a day.But he remembered something very important, something that he used to worry about a lot. Something of the utmost importance."Money!""I don't have money to rent a room," he said as he racked his brain for a way to get out of this predicament and rent a room to sleep or he will have to do it anciently. in the forest."The missions! I can do some simple missions to get some money," he said as he turned back and walked back inside again.The receptionist was surprised to see him again and inquired politely."I want to take a mission," he said as he couldn't just say he wanted money. Even if they would lend him some money, he wanted to get his own to use."Oh, yes of course," she replied with a smile.Alex went to the mission board and saw all kinds of missions, but he just wanted a relatively simple one to get some money."Hmm, this seems very simple," he said as he looked at a mission that aske
