Arriving at class after having complete his training, Matthew was greeted with lectures. Their contents mostly didn't apply to him either because he didn't have an affinity or simply couldn't use mana for the most part. The lectures on skills and monsters were something that he was very interested in though.

"Skills are given by the system as a reward for completing certain tasks. They can come in various forms, from passive skills that work in the background like regeneration or active skills like mana sprint. There are plenty of skills out there that we have yet to discover and simply because we haven't met the requirements to activate them." Mr. Falls stated

"Mr. Falls, how do we find out the requirements of this skills if no one has ever activated them before?" Jeff asked

"Skills can still be researched even if we have never seen them. That is the entire purpose of the institute. They have a specific skill set that allows them to find skills and put resea

    Reaching the hunters union, Matthew made his way to the request counter. The only request he could take were of the copper grade so he began to take a look through them. Most were gathering requests for various herbs with very few being for monster materials. Materials gathered from monsters could be used to make armors, weapons, and various tools. "I'll take these two requests please." Matthew said The person behind the desk nodded as she loaded the information on his communication device. This would help him keep track of the area that he had to search for the things he was searching for and the materials he had to gather from the monsters. Having accepted the requests, he made his way to the city gates to head toward the area for his requests. He had made sure to accept request in the same area. The herbs he had to gather were for healing solutions and the monsters he had to hunt were a dog like creature that had stripes and long fangs like a saber tooth.

    The receptionist, could only stare at the youth in front of him. He was covered in blood from head to toe and his clothes were tattered with deep cuts all over his body. Then he looked down at the heavy bag of materials that was resting on the counter in front of him. There were at least triple the materials that his request had called for and one particularly large specimen with long green fangs. *Three hours earlier* * * It took Matthew about fifteen minutes to prepare his bait and set up an ambush. Now, all he had to do was wait for his prey to make their appearance. It didn't take long for the first saber wolf as they were called to show up. This one was a little on the slender side indicating that it was either young or hadn't eaten in a while. Before his prey could dig into the bait, he swooped down from the branch he had been hiding on and beheaded it. His blade met with no resistance as it cleaved straight through. He then very quickly broke down the

  • Epic of the Broken Immortal   Hard Fought

    Somewhere in the forest outside the town, a boy was having his first hard battle. Matthew was breathing heavily as he continued to adapt. He was slowly getting use to the speed of the alpha and had even managed to inflict some more damage on it. Unfortunately, the damaged seemed to heal fairly quickly as none of it lasted more than a few minutes. 'I'm going to have to inflict some heavy damage if I want to stand a chance of taking this thing out.' Matthew thought to himself. He had taken some damage as well during this whole time and had cuts in various places. The alpha rushed ahead again only for Matthew to block the claws that were aimed at his chest. The blow caused him to slide across the ground before a tree again stopped his momentum. During the previous exchanges, he had managed to take out the other two saber wolves and this was the reason for some of his injuries as during that moment the alpha had attacked him. He was searching for a way to end thi

  • Epic of the Broken Immortal   Alpha Gear

    The blacksmith only asked a few questions about the kind of gear he was looking to have made before getting to work. His gear would be light, but durable due to the quality of the materials that he had gathered. The bones and a bit of the pelt would be used to craft boots and arm guards while the rest of the pelt would be used to craft the hooded vest and pants. The teeth would be mixed with iron to make a ring that held some of the wood property in it to craft a healing item of sorts. With his business done, he headed home to shower and get some rest. He was dead tired and couldn't wait to crawl into bed. Little did he know that his name was beginning to spread as a fourteen year old, who had basically just come into adulthood had slayed an alpha. Arriving home, he quickly took a shower and then headed to bed where he fell asleep as soon as his head it the pillow. It would take him a few days to recover thanks to his constitution and around that time his gear sho

  • Epic of the Broken Immortal   Sound of Drums

    Gathering mana was getting easier as he began to pull mana towards his heart. Slowly, he began to feel his body heat up as more and more mana began to condense in his heart muscles. As the mana gathered, it began to spread out through his blood as well, causing his injuries to begin to heal at a faster rate. The fibers of his heart muscles began to be strengthened as his heart rate increased. He was able to maintain this pace fairly easily since he had grown use to pulling mana into his body. He could feel his body improving at a rapid pace do to the refinement affected his whole body. Gradually, the sound of his heart beat could be heard in the room as he advanced. The sound began to rattle the items in his room as it continued to grow. His heart was shining inside his chest due to the concentration of mana. This glow began to change as his heart processed the immense power surging through it. It became a deep red before a clanking sound was hear

  • Epic of the Broken Immortal   Special Request

    A few days had passed and it was finally the weekend again. Matthew was currently working on the refining of his lungs. It was taking longer to refine them since they were so delicate. The sound of his breath was like a strong wind blowing. He had made a few mistakes and accidentally popped small sections of his lungs. It didn't take very long for him to finally finish and his lungs were now clear like glass, but hard like stone. The amount of air and mana that he absorbed was greatly enhanced and even had a refreshing effect. *Ding* *Status updated* Matthew Hart Level - 2 Titles - none Constitution - Stone body (first step) Skills - Mana perception (greater), Mana gathering (experienced), Enhanced memory, Enhanced sight Health - 240 Mana - 35 Strength - 13 Endurance - 14 Agility - 9 Intelligence - 10 Wisdom - 7 Mana core - Tiny cracked core (broken) He was getting closer to the poi

  • Epic of the Broken Immortal   Another Alpha

    "Hello, I'm Matthew and I was informed that you are looking for me about a request." Matthew said "Hello, my name is Kyle and I work for the blacksmith union. I am looking for a particular set of materials to make a special item. I was wondering if you would take a request from me to gather the materials for me." Kyle said "I might be interested in the request, provided that the reward is suitable." Matthew said "Of course, the reward that I'm offering is a free smithing of an item for you with the leftover materials. In addition, I'll also provide a discount for future smithing services." Kyle said with a smile "May I hear what the request is before I accept it?" Matthew said "Certainly, the items I need are from the alpha of the sword sheep in the near by meadow. The alpha has tough hide and has an affinity for the wind element. I need the horns to make a sword for someone. As for the other materials, they are yours

  • Epic of the Broken Immortal   With the Wind

    The meadow that he had to reach wasn't that far from town so it didn't even take Matthew and hour to reach it. The entire meadow was scattered with sword sheep so it would take him some time to find the alpha. Matthew began making his way around the meadow looking for the large sheep and since it was his only target he didn't want to waste his time fighting the others or scare it off. After another hour circling the area, he had found the one he was looking for. It was about a foot taller than the rest of the sheep around it and had large sharp horns that were as big as a normal sheep's head. It's coat had light green patterns in it that looked similar to wind currents and passing clouds. 'Alright, looks like I'm going to have to sneak attack it if I want to get the upper hand. It will be very fast and able to launch wind blades from it horns. It also has a charge attack that will be enhanced by the wind attribute so a head on battle will only mak

The spark's light did not waver from dim to bright like was usually described in books. It held a constant soft glow like a star in the night sky. The next thing that happened was that he began to notice small tendrils of mana that were spreading outward from his mana core to the rest of his body. He realized fairly quickly that they were spreading out to incorpor

    A light in the darkness

    The fourth day in the training room came as Matthew continued to focus his mana to the center of the spiral in his mana core. By this time, the spiral was half the size it was originally, and mana it was made of was thick and slow moving. He had begun to sweat from the intense struggle he was having by forcing his mana to condense. Slowly, his mana was condensing to become like thick clouds instead of thin and wispy like fog. This was the prerequisite to ignite his spark, as the mana had to be dense enough to sustain it long enough to stay lit. Once the spark came into existence, it would have to be continuously supplied with mana so that it wouldn't go out. It wasn't until the level of mage that it would stay lit without a constant supply of mana. If the spark went out, he would have to start over from scratch.Slowly, the spiral began to stagnate its movement under its own weight. For a long moment, nothing happened. Just when it seeme

    The stage is set

    Matthew was drawing large currents of mana into his core to saturate it to the point of there not being anymore space inside it. It didn't take him long due to the amount of mana that he already had stored. If someone looked inside his core at the moment, what they would find was a swirling mass of purple mana that looked vaguely like a small hurricane. The next step he had to take was to push the walls of his mana core to the point that it expanded to the normal grade. This was the hardest part as his reinforced core was very sturdy and might develop cracks if he expanded it too fast. Cracking his core at this point would take him days to fix even with his enhanced recovery and the amount of mana he would have to use to do so would equal the amount he needed to expand his core by several fold. It took him a little over a full day in the training room to reach the threshold of the normal grade core. All he need was a small push with a little more mana that he had to

    Something Wicked

    A ways away from the town, in a desolate part of the wilderness that featured no life, something stirred. It was a large humanoid creature with random pieces of armor attached to it. This creature was once human that had died and become one of the monsters that it once sought to destroy. The undead were not that uncommon in the world since the vast number of humans that hadn't been able to adapt to mana had died. Some became unholy creatures of the dark even to include vampires. Generally speaking, vampires and the werefolk were much more rare than the standard undead and usually want to live in peace versus seeking out humans to devour. This particular undead was on the move and was headed in a particular direction. It was a peak pawn grade existence that was only a step away from the knight grade. If it advanced, it would become an unstoppable force of nature for most. Soon, it would reach its destination and wreak havoc. * * * Matthew stood

    Refining Again

    Matthew decided to start his training anew with refining again. Since it was the weekend, he would be able to do this and take on a few missions to restore his funds that he had spent. He didn't want to work on mana skills just yet seeing as his core was still stabilizing. Starting from scratch, he focused his own mana to his marrow. His mana was now entirely converted with the gravity affinity, making it feel heavy inside his bones. His mana spread out and joined the mana already present causing it to be converted as well. He felt virtually no pain this time as his marrow was already quite tough and resistant to pain. He went a full hour before he had depleted the mana in his core. He could already feel the difference as he felt that he was slightly sluggish due to the increased weight of his marrow. Now that he was finished, he made sure to gather and convert some more mana. The difference was however that his mana value had increased since

    Prize

    The finals had concluded and Matthew was ready to head home. However, he wouldn't get his wish right away as it was time for the prize ceremony. Third place received a medal and two days in a meditation chamber. These chambers allowed someone to advance rapidly since they enhanced the strength of a mana core and the absorption rate of mana would be increased due to the concentration of mana. Second place received a medal, four days in a meditation chamber, and personal training from the head instructor. This was rather good since the head instructor was at the peak of the mage level and could give many pointers. Matthew received the first place medal, a week in the meditation chamber, personal training from the head instructor, and a manual of his choosing. If he had known this he would have waited to buy the gravity manual. At least he could aquire more advance mana techniques that would allow him to rapidly increase his strength and make him more ver

    Overwhelming

    Matthew arrived at school where his class quickly made their way to the arena. They quickly found their seats and awaited the announcement that would detail the last matches of the tournament. It didn't take long for the arena to fill up and the announcer to make his way to the center of the stage. "There has been a change in the line up of the final matches. There will now be one match where it will be three against one. The three contenders will have to remove a red waist band from their opponent to claim victory. On the other hand, if all three of them are knocked from the ring or otherwise subdued, the main contender will be the victor. Are there any objections?" The announcer said The audience was silent as no one had an objection to this change. They all turned to stare at Matthew since he was sitting in the front row. Most hadn't seen his match, but the ones that had didn't believe the other three would come out victorious still.

    Push

    Matthew spent the next few days before he would have to attend the finals for his classes working on his affinity. He couldn't hold anymore mana in his core at the moment and it wasn't strong enough to be enlarged yet. The book he had purchased was very vague to say the least when it came to the skills he could learn for the gravity affinity. The majority of the book was just the theory of application and not the actual use of gravity. This meant that he was basically on his own. The first thing he would have to do is convert his mana which was fairly simple. He started like he always did with a pin sized dot. This dot would draw in his mana and covert it naturally now that it was stable. As long as he had mana in his core, it would be converted and kept separate from the rest of his mana and show up on his Stat page by itself. The skill he was currently working on was called Push. The theory behind the skill was to direct his converted mana out of his body a

    Affinity

    When his mana core was finally healed, he felt a strange connection to the Earth. It was like he was being drawn to its core and was extremely heavy. This was the beginning of his awakening to an affinity. Every person had a different experience and they all had to train their affinity differently even if it was the same one as others. *Ding* *System updated* *Affinity - Gravity* He had gained an amazing affinity to the very workings of the world itself. Very few were blessed in such a way and he felt grateful for the book his grandad had left that gave him this opportunity. 'Now I'll need skills that will allow me to use this affinity in the proper way. Should I think about purchasing them or should I develop some to suit my needs.' Matthew thought to himself Skills could be learned or developed depending on the circumstances. Just like the roar skill he had learned, other skills could be learned naturally while applying one's self
