Lucas woke up groggily among the rubble , he then tried pulled himself out of it but he found he can't " What ?"He struggled hard but found out he is stuck and can't pull himself out of it. ' Magic!'With an idea he cast his earth manipulation skill and push away the rubble aqua from his body. " Arggh!!"As the rocks fall, his body then was attack by sudden pain. It starting form his leg an duo to his upper body.He convulse on extreme pain as more of the rocks was push away.After a few minutes, he then slump down , breathing heavily, sweat and tears running down his face." What the hell!?"Lucas look down his lower body to check what kind of injuries he have acquired for it to hurt like that.He was stricken by panic as hew saw his mangled legs as it oozed with crimson blood. The rocks may have acted as a pressure that prevent him from bleeding out but after he removed them it got loose and now his blood is flowing likea fountain." What do I do!?"Lucas panic as he felt the
The cave is dark an damp,making Lucas carefully fell his steps before he take them.He can see the rock formations making up the cave but he can't see anything else.Even with his fire ball, the surrounding is still pitch black. Thankfully,Lucas have the dark seeing skill ,so it help a little on his journey. He upgraded the skill to Dark Sight which allow him to see the things around him, even though they lack colors , it have help him from making any misstep.The cave is goes deep and it's dimensions change constantly, it goes narrow and narrower and then it suddenly gets wide. sometimes it's ceiling goes high up and some times it goes down to the point where Lucas need no crouch yo pass through.The damp walls have a some kind of vegetation that fells like algae , this was weird for Lucas for he thought plants needs sunlight to grow , but he just brush it off with ' It might be magic' reason." Another fork?"Lucas have encountered forks on the cave system as he continued forward.No
' I need to retreat!!"Lucas turn tail and run back on the stairs,but his retreat was cut short as he saw the skeletons crowd on the foot of the stairs.Lucas fired fireball to clear them, but before he can rejoice, he saw the skeletons break out the ground.First only a dozen show up , then more , and more appeared all around Lucas.Lucas can only run while casting as the skeletons break out the ground where he was standing.*Ting* He swing his sword around but he found that the bones are surprisingly hard and his sword almost do no damage . Without using skill it was ineffective. As he force he way back , more an more appeared like a tide of white wave. Some of the strikes from the skeletons even graze him.' I will be cornered here ,I need to t find another way'Lucas abandoned the his idea of getting to the stairs as he look up and saw skeletons coming out of there too.With the only way out from there is the small opening, he is good as dead if he continues to charge there.Wit
" Is there really nothing here?"Lucas asked inwardly as he search around the next ' floor'.After the horde form above, he find it strange that nothing here, as it seem a little anticlimactic.Don't get it wrong , Lucas doesn't want another of that horde, but his vigilance have been on high alert ever since and he find it a little uncomfortable.This is a strange place, as Lucas can infer. The most strange thing he find about Thai place is the absence of SP I killing the monsters. For Lucas knows that killing monster will surely help someone on some point , but this situations seem to break his understanding of SP.He tried to wave it out his mind as he focus on navigating him self on the cavern. He circumvent boulders and climb some , finding a clear path way on this cavern was proven to be impossible.Due to the previous two staircase Lucas ,infer that there should be another one on the end of this ' floor' , and maybe also a stair up.After climbing a tall boulder Lucas was elate
The cavern was huge ,but Lucas didn't know that's it was this huge. After his battle with the mutated Zombie , He then run to the stair that took him to another floor down.The monster in here there skeletons again.Mutated skeletons of different varieties bombard him with magics and some of them are even armored.Lucas was able to get through them relatively easier in comparison to the other floor.While the skeletons knights have armors , they are in worse conditions and was penetrated by his attacks pretty easily. The mutated skeletons can use magic, as it form a black core , from the corrupted mana.Having it's core on its chest cavity, it has exposed it weakness and therefore allow Lucas defeat them by aiming at there core.Afterwards ,the next stair brought him a wide space in which both zombies and skeletons appeared.A couple of mutants appeared in which Lucas target first and then proceed to charge forward to the next floor.Having the experience of fighting the same monsters o
" Let's see what you got you bone!"Lucas didn't let an opportunity pass. He weave forward to get a clear vantage of the general skeleton.He traverse the wave of undead while maintaining his focus on the general skeleton who now is trying to gain distance from him.' It will bombard me with those bade light again if I let it run away!'Lucas know the urgency of the situation, he will surely be overwhelmed by the undead if the general skeleton snipe him out of his range again.* Boom*Dodging a strike from a mutated zombie, he then jump up it head using it as platform to leap above the wave." Got you !"With a scan on the general direction,he immediately saw the general skeleton.He raised his hand and aim it at the general skeleton. ' Just like a fireball 'Glow of the healing lights appears on his palm, Which he then condensed into a ball with his mind." Eat this you relic!"With his focus still on the skeleton he throw it with all his might ,sending the ball of light at the gener
Darkness,Silence At first a i was just a bone on a throne.And then I was awake , I was conscious.At first I was confused of my situation. I don't know of anything , and memory I lack made me more ... worried?I don't know for I fell nothing in my heart.But I found out I don't even have a heart, I have only a core.I was conscious,but I failed to move my body.I didn't know how.But after sometime time I figure it out. My core was full of ...mana.Dark mana flowed out of it , which then flowed to my bod-.... bones, then I was able to move , then came my senses immediately after.I was then able to see.Able to ' fell'I now know where am I .I was in a castle, inside a world.A small wolrd that my core tell me that was mine.At first I was expecting, exited to see what ' my world' have in store.But I was disappointed pretty instantly.It has nothing,but bones and rotten corpses.A wide territory of path and structure, but lay around it was jus death.I was deflated.I live life

Get purified, calcium golem!!"* Clank*The sword land landed on the stretch hand of the skeleton," What !?"Far from what Lucas expected to happen, his sword was stop with the hand of the skeleton.The light in his sword tried to corrode the enemy but the dark mana flood the body of the skeleton washing the purifying effect of his sword strike." Human...another ..one.."Lucas pulled back his sword and wind up for a follow up slash. The skeleton conjured a dark ball and threw it to Lucas making him blink to the other side in reflex.' So fast!'Swing the superior speed of the enemy, Lucas can only blink around the skeleton to compensate.He was unable to prepaid an attack as the moment he appeared a dark ball was already hurling towards him making him frustrated.On the skeletons hand Rett
* Blink*My eyes opened suddenly ,around me is a group of people. Some are fitting their armor, some are enchanting their weapons, some is discussing strategies while some just wait in silence.This is a garrison, and we are about to go to war." Still gonna use that broken sword ?"A woman's voice broke my daze I turned and saw red hair woman in a red mage robe." Rebecca"My mouth move on its own, " I have no choice, I can't afford weapons from those shops and those free swords the army is giving out will instantly grumble with my auara augmentation"" Sorry ,can't understand poorish"Rebecca said as she sit beside me.we both look at the people getting ready, quietly." are you scared?"I asked " Scared ?, how can a titled circle mage be scared of a few undead. I will just blow them to pieces."She replied, but in her eyes I can see through her bluff." Right , don't die okay"" He- I should saying that to you , with your broken equipments you should be the one who will most likel
' It's impossible !'Rebecca can only scream in shock seeing the result of the test. Lucas look at her with a strange face as he was unable to comprehend the reaction showed by the mage.'How the hell did he have two of the rare affinities!'Rebecca exclaimed I'm her mind.' And it's light and space at that!'" Is something wrong with the result Miss Rebecca?"Asked Lucas as a long award silence ensued.*Cough*" N- nothings wrong , you have been confirmed to be in rank nine and now eligible for a rank nine badge "Lucas slowly tilt his head as if he was waiting for something." Umm, are there no test required or a hunting proof of sort?"He voiced out his confusion as the mage seem to have no more things to say." Uhh..Yes , due to some circumstances I have decided to allow your promotion immediately and according to the magicians who brought you here , your spells were enough of proof."Rebecca explained ,her tone was now considerably softer than before which made Lucas wondered mor
" This way my Lord"The tower magician guided Lucas inside the city. On the gate the guards showed a hint of suspicion as they observed Lucas attire but the magicians immediately cover him introducing him as a high rank member of the tower.After entering Lucas was shock seeing the lively event that had welcomed him. The population of Caldisten was atleast triple of that of Bridgestone making the city more lively in. comparison.Looking around he saw the most of them wear armors and cloaks that what you will expect to see in a fantasy adventure.This is due the the fact that Caldisten is in the very center of the second largest monsters territory on the region. The wasteland.Monsters of various species ranging from F rank to A rank populated the wide area of the wasteland.It is also the reason the city walls make design like a fortress. Its walls are at least a two meter wide and Lucas have also observe tower like structure with huge glowing stones on too of which he imagine was a m
Silence was what answered Lucas as the people were rendered mute by their shock.Lucas brows contract as he wait for them to speak.After a few minutes, one of the magician walk forward and started to speak." W-we are from the city of Caldisten,w- we were given a mission to - investigate the hole that have suddenly appeared on the road leading to dark forest"The magician spoke in a slight stutter, he tried to stand straight to show some courage but his shaking legs have a different story to tell." An investigation party ? Then why did you try to trap me with that net?"" W-we apologize Sir , when we saw that someone was coming out of the hole we were ordered to catch you , we didn't mean to disrespect you my Sir!"Lucas was still annoyed by the action of this people but he understood that they are just following orders and that his sudden appearance on a strange hole is absolutely suspicious." *Sigh* Alright , I'm a fourth rank magician of the tower and I already investigated this
" Just how long is this path!?"' I have already walk for an hour but I still can't see the end of it'After defeating the skeleton Lucas made a memorial for Rett ,but with the latter remains being disintegrated he can only create a grave without a body.Afterwards,he look around for any exit but was unable to see one. The cavern was riddled with holes of caves that lead to different paths which made it even harder for Lucas to find which one leads out of the cavern.After a few minutes of searching he was still unable to see any clue, do he decided to go through where Rett and his horse pass. Lucas know that it will lead to the initial place they fell from. Before ,he have no chance of climbing out that hole but with his new skills and techniques,he was sure that it was possible now.Lucas Greves ( Human Male , 25 years old) Lvl:69(400/6900) MP: 2300/2300Str-120Agi-110Int-150( 10 MP per 1 int) Dex-98End-130Skills: (Passive) Sleep resistance (intermediate) Night vision (Hig
The light blinded Lucas ,while some of the lower levels skeleton was purified and turned into ash.There is no sound of explosions,just a long buzzing was heard.After a few seconds ,the light fades leaving a large crater ,the earth and buildings around it collapse sending dust screen about.Lucas squint as he tried to see , the effect of the light still affecting his vision.Even with his limited vision,he immediately blink near the crater.But unlike before, he didn't assume that his attack have ended the enemy, no he need to make sure its dead before celebrating.He raised his sword up his head as he compress the Mana on the blade, light started to form a solid membrane that covers the sword.With a deep breath he slash down his sword sending a sword light to the center of the crater. * Boom*It landed sending out the dust around it.But as Lucas expected,the worst always happen.On the center of the crater stand the skeleton, now raising an orb that emit tentacles like dark mana.
" D* nm it !"Lucas curse as he dodge more of f the blue fireballs , he blink in an erratic trajectory around the skeleton in hope to hide form it's focus but the moment he appeared after a blink the skeleton immediately throw a fireball at him.' Was my conjecture wrong!?'Lucas panic a little as his thought out plan broke with a single spell for the enemy.' No , I saw that the blade was effective, it must be a new spell or new application of the Mana manipulation.'He focus his gazed at the skeleton again, scrutinizing every flow and every movement he can fell and see on the skeleton manipulation of mana.' It still the same as before but with the application of that fire element,just like what I did with my holy light augmentation. But it's spell are more heavy and more......compact?'Lucas confusedly observe the spells again by blocking some but that's all he could get from it , it was heavier and more solid that his spells, even compared to his holy light augmentation or mana
"Ugehhh!!"Lucas tumbled on the ground from the impact of the explosion.But his mind continued spells. As he cat allow to be caught unguarded,as the undead will surely flood him in a blink.' It hurts!'Bones broke and muscles torn, Lucas struggled to move his body. He cast his healing spells on himself but this situations is not looking good anymore.While shaken and battered by the attack,his emotions finally calm down , and his rationale came back.' I can't just charge without a plan, if I die then Rett' s death will be for naught . I need to think calmly.'Even though Lucas can heal his injuries in matter of seconds , the spell cost is to high for a long duration of battle.Although he have upgraded his stats and skill set before he decided to jump to the teleportation circle ,his mana will still run dry quickly if he continues to cast healing exorbitantly.' Blink canal give me motion and positioning advantage but it can block all my spell with a barrier loosing my momentum in
