Deep within the heart of the Flaming Sun Province, a region nestled in the easternmost reaches of the continent, lay the ancestral manor of the Sunblade Clan. This humble yet storied clan, one of the smallest yet most revered in the province, had long been the guardian of the land and its people. For generations, the Sunblades had wielded their unique affinity for the fire elements, harnessing the primal forces that coursed through the very earth itself. The Sunblade Clan’s dominion over the Flaming Sun Province was a testament to their unwavering dedication to their craft. Theirs was a legacy forged in the crucible of fire and flame, tempered by the unyielding passion of their ancestors. From the earliest days of their clan’s history, the Sunblades had been born with an innate connection to the fire elements, a symbiotic bond that allowed them to wield the flames with precision and mastery. Within the manor’s walls, the air was alive with the whispers of the past, the echoes of
Ryan's eyes locked onto his father's, a fierce determination burning within him. With a subtle gesture, he released his energy, and the air around him seemed to vibrate with power. The revelation was instantaneous: Ryan was at the eighth energy level of the Energerium. Laycon Sunblade's eyes widened in shock, his face pale with astonishment. He had never seen Ryan exhibit such power, and the implications were staggering. But before he could process this new information, Ryan dropped another bombshell. "I'm calling off the wedding with the Flarion family," Ryan said, his voice firm and resolute. Laycon's shock turned to incredulity. "What are you talking about, Ryan?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion. "You've always begged for this wedding. Why are you doing this now?" Ryan's expression remained unwavering. "I've realized that this wedding is not in the best interest of our family," he said, his voice measured. "And I will not be a part of it." Tristan, who had been w
As Ryan strode towards the grand hall of the Sunblade Clan, he drew upon the mental map he had constructed from Gorm’s revelations. The guard’s words had provided him with a vivid understanding of the castle’s layout, allowing him to navigate its corridors with ease. He approached the hall, its imposing structure a testament to the clan’s wealth and influence. Upon entering the hall, Ryan was immediately struck by its grandeur. The room was spacious, with a high ceiling that seemed to stretch up to the heavens. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries, their threads woven with a precision that spoke to the skill of the artisans who had created them. The tapestries depicted scenes of great battles, powerful magic, and ancient legends, each one a testament to the Sunblade Clan’s rich history. At the far end of the hall, a massive drawing of the Flaming Sun, the symbol of the province, dominated the wall. The drawing was crafted from a delicate mosaic of golden tiles, each o
Ryan's eyes narrowed as he began to interrogate the second guard, his voice firm and commanding. "What is your name, and where are we?" he asked, his gaze piercing the guard's very soul. The second guard's expression was one of confusion, his brow furrowed in puzzlement. "What do you mean, Young Master sir?" he asked, his voice laced with a hint of incredulity. "You have been here for the past seventeen years. You know exactly where you are." Ryan took a deep breath, his mind racing with the implications of the guard's words. He couldn't disclose to this man that he was reincarnated and not the young master they knew. The guard's confusion was palpable, and Ryan knew he had to tread carefully. Since he didn't have any knowledge of where he was, Ryan wanted to ask the questions from the guard, so as to know the current situation he was in. He decided to take a more aggressive approach, his voice firm and menacing. "I don't have time for your questions," Ryan growled. "I don't r
The air was electric with tension as the two guards closed in on Ryan, their movements a testament to their skill and training. Ryan, however, remained calm and composed, his eyes fixed intently on his attackers as he waited for the perfect moment to strike. The outcome of the battle was far from certain, but one thing was clear: only one side would emerge victorious, and the consequences of defeat would be fatal. The stage was set for a clash of epic proportions, with Ryan’s life hanging precariously in the balance. As the first guard lunged forward, his fist hurtling through the air with a force that could crush steel, Ryan stood his ground, his eyes locked onto his opponent with an unwavering intensity. The guard’s punch, fueled by his ninth-level energy realm strength, packed a formidable force of approximately nine tons, a blow that could easily shatter concrete and reduce a ordinary human to a pulp. But Ryan was no ordinary human. His strength, honed through years of rigorou
Ryan’s voice rang out, clear and commanding, as he issued his ultimatum to the guards. “I give you three seconds to surrender all your weapons and bow before me. You will answer every question I pose to you, without hesitation or deceit. Refuse, and you will face death.” The guards exchanged bewildered glances, their faces etched with confusion and amusement. “Uhm?” one of them stuttered, as if unsure how to respond to Ryan’s audacious demand. The guards couldn’t believe what they were hearing. Hadn’t they just killed this boy? And now, he was standing before them, threatening them with death? It was absurd, laughable even. The guards couldn’t help but exchange mocking glances, their lips curling into sneers. “Hahaha, seems like he’s hit his head hard on something,” one of the guards chuckled, his voice dripping with derision. “Or maybe he’s just plain crazy,” the other guard added, his eyes rolling in amusement. The guards’ jests and snickers filled the air, their ridicule aimed
The air around Ryan seemed to vibrate with an otherworldly energy as he continued his cultivation. A low hum, like the gentle buzzing of a thousand bees, filled the air, punctuated by occasional bursts of explosive force. "Whooosh" echoed through the room as the air whirled in, followed by a deafening "Booommm" that shook the very foundations of the space. As Ryan's cultivation reached its peak, strings of dark energy began to manifest around him. This was a characteristic typically associated with mages who had reached the channel stage, a level of magical prowess that allowed them to manipulate the very fabric of reality. Yet, Ryan was not yet at the channel stage; he was still at the eighth level of the energy state. However, Ryan's unique circumstances set him apart from his peers. This was not his first foray into cultivation, and his extensive battle experience had granted him a level of mastery that few others could match. As a result, he was able to perform feats that woul
In the realm of the beginner mage stage, there existed nine distinct energy levels, each marking a significant milestone in a mage's journey. The primary difference between those who had attained the energy state and ordinary human beings was the remarkable increase in physical strength and speed. As one progressed through the energy levels, their abilities grew more pronounced, until they reached the ninth level, where they stood at the threshold of the channel stage. At this critical juncture, mages began to grasp the fundamentals of energy manipulation, a skill that would serve as the foundation for their future magical pursuits. However, for Ryan, the journey through the energy levels was unfolding at an unprecedented pace. Due to the vast quantity of magic pills present in his body, Ryan's cultivation accelerated at an astonishing rate. In a mere hour, he had surged from being an ordinary human to attaining the sixth level of the energy stage. Such a rapid progression would h
As Ryan's desire for revenge burned brighter, he knew that he needed to amass power to achieve his goal. With a singular focus, he began to tap into the world's energy, seeking to harness its raw power. However, he soon realized that something was amiss. Every time he attempted to absorb the energy into his body, he encountered an inexplicable resistance. Ryan's confusion stemmed from his limited understanding of the world's magical dynamics. In this realm, magic was fueled by the world's energy, which individuals could absorb and channel to wield elemental forces. The process of mastering magic was divided into distinct stages, each marking a significant milestone in a mage's journey. The first realm, known as the Energy Realm, was where aspiring mages began to build their magical foundation. By absorbing the world's energy, they could establish a stable channel for the passage of magic. This realm was crucial, as it laid the groundwork for all subsequent magical development. T
