Mage of Blade

The plan

"Come out!"

His friends came in one by one inside"Oh man, how do you always know where we are?", Millan asked

"Leave this and tell me have you all obtained the abilities and items you wanted?"

"Yes", everyone nodded.

"Then, let's meet after a month to begin preparation of our plan", Aryan stated.

Everyone walked off one by one, leaving only Aryan behind. "It's time ah", Aryan thought. After a couple of minutes, Aryan too moved and started heading home while thinking about the 'plan'. It all started after the countries fell.

After the day of the beginning, mana started to settle down slowly but after a time dungeons started to appear. Most of the players were out on Gor or in the Tower. Modern weapons were able to resist to a certain extent but as high-level monsters started to come out, even they failed.

After a long war of attrition, many countries came out victorious by some of them plunged into darkness. Slowly, 6 months passed by, and humanity finally decided to use a nuke, it was done in Russia, but they soon realized the mistake they had made.

The radioactive material which was meant to react and cause an explosion was absorbed by the monsters and they entered a berserk state. It made even worse as they knew they could no longer use nukes to battle monsters.

After a few weeks of this incident, countries started to merge as they could no longer sustain themselves. Many countries joined bigger and stronger while the stronger ones captured the smaller ones. The European Union was now officially a single country named the 'European empire'. Many others were formed such as the African Stem Union, the Middle Eastern empire, the Great Indian empire, etc.

While the other either went under the control of monsters or became part of the empires of Gor. Aryan wanted all of these, in the game, he controlled the third-biggest empire on Gor. Now, he wanted both planets and it would start after a month.

After reaching his house he straight went to his room and sat down. Increasing his aura. He had noticed something. How could a small circle contain more mana than the whole body? After searching in the book he got an answer, the mana circle created a space drift which had 10-15 times more space than the complication of the mana circle, therefore, as the number of mana circles increases, the more mana one could hold.

He had made his mana circles around his aura circle which made his mana circles length longer. Now he could meditate and gain more aura as it was needed in times of emergency. He sat down in the evening hoping it would last 3-4 hours but he ended up doing it till sunrise. But it had made his aura get stronger and he was near breaking through to 2nd rank of aura.

Exhausted, he wanted to go to bed and get some sleep but after sweating so much he could not go to sleep so he went to take a shower. While taking the shower he noticed something. His muscles were sturdier than before. He had been working on his muscles for months but couldn't attain the shape he was in right now.

He took his phone and went to the mirror wearing a towel around his willy. "Let me take a photo.. hehe", Aryan thought and took some photos. From his childhood, he was a big fan of people with muscles. He wanted them but couldn't get them. It was like a dream come true for a child. Well, to be exact he was still only 16 years old so what could he do?

With a happy smile, he went to the bed and laid himself like anything. sleeping and having good dreams about girls flocking up on him after seeing his muscles.

"Turrr Tuurrrrr...", His absurd alarm rang.

"It's already 3 pm? fu*k", He thought

But he had to get up so he could spend some time with his family and then return to the Tower. He got up and went down to where his father was laying down on the couch watching some American criminal movie. While his mother was watching from the kitchen while preparing some tea. He wholeheartedly spent his evening with them enjoying and laughing.

----Next Morning-----

"Enter in Tower"

[Teleporting...]

"I'm back here... huff", Aryan got ready

"Status Window", he thought in his head and it appeared.

[Name: Aryan]

[Character Name: MageOfBlade]

[Level: 1]

[Class: None]

[Awakenings : None]

[Skills : Concentration(S-), Mind acceleration (S+)]

[Stats]

[Vitality: 10]

[Defense: 7]

[Strength: 8]

[Agility: 12]

[Stamina: 13]

[Mana: 4]

[Intelligence: 14]

[Undistributed points: 12]

"So these are my stats right now..", Aryan looked at them status Window with wide eyes, thinking where to put the 12 free points. Finally he decided to put 6 in mana as it signifies affinity with the mana, then he puts 3 in defence and vitality each.

"Now, only the last bit of preparation is left, learning how spells work and some spells", Aryan thought. He ran through the book and found all the information he needed, after opening his eyes once again, he had a completely new vision of the world.

He had thought of learning spells from the book but after learning the basics of spell and how they work, he now had no need of any spells as he could make himself.

"Now lets grind some floor and reach level 10"

"Challenge the next floor"

[Please choose the difficulty]

"Hell", Aryan shouted

[Teleporting...]

[Objective: Kill the goblin king(lvl 9)]

[Start!]

Aryan had always choosen hard difficulty in the game but this time he choose Hell only because he believed in his skills. In game if someone could use basic spells of a circler higher magician then they would be called geniuses. If someone is able to use advanced spells of a circle higher than themselves then they would be called geniuses born once a century But Aryan right now had ability to cast basic spells of a 3rd circle magician.

He saw a goblin village in distance, but before going there he decides to test out some spells he had thought. He sees a goblin behind the bushes, he tries his first spell, "Fireball". It is the most basic of spells but he used it to see how the mana flowed.

He was very happy to use his first spells, one after the another, he keeps killing and testing out new spells, after a while he see the timer, it was already below 30 minutes. But he had learned many spells to help him. Like 'Air Haste', It was based on the spell haste, he saw that the spell haste strengthened the legs so that you could run faster but he got a new idea, what if he just pushed out mana from one of his feet when stepping, which resulted in much higher speed than haste but at the same time, it took a lot of time to learn how to time it properly.

He was now level 4, he used his 6 free points in stamina and intelligence. After that he headed to the goblin village, just before entering there, he used 'heat burst' which would cause heating in the environment, this caused the goblin houses which were made up of dry sticks and leaves to burn.

Most of the goblins died, sensing this, the Goblin King rushed towards Aryan. He had many chains in his neck made out of bone and a wooden bat in his hand. The fight between them began, Aryan thought he could win it easily but he had underestimated his opponent quite a bit, he was on verge of his 1st awakening and reaching lvl 10, they were nearly equal on fighting power, if not the. the goblin king was stronger. After 5-6 minutes in fight, the goblin king mage a clean hit on his chest, if thought Aryan was using aura to strengthen his chest he felt a great impact and fell on ground.

Aryan coughed blood from the impact and fell to the ground, the Goblin King was smiling seeing him in this state, he lifted his bat in air, to end it with the last strike but. "It's not over yet you muscle head.."

Zuuup!!!..... Splash!!.....Cut!!!....

An Ice spear came from the air and impaled staight into goblin kings head.

[Congratulations!! you have cleared trial to the second floor in Hell difficulty]

[Level up!]

"How was that? you fu*ker?!.. huff....huff", Aryan shouted in joy while huffing due to exhaustion. While halfway into the fight, Aryan knew he was lacking power when he got a idea of a new spell. He made an ice spear in the sky about a couple of hundred meters above and met it fall down. Now the most hardest part was to make goblin king stand in the right place, which Aryan got lucky with.

Once again he had 6 free points from leveling up and clearing a floor. This time he put his all into strength.

Aryan Breezed through floor until floor 5, Every 5 floors, the difficulty completely changes. He was now level 9, He thought of leveling up on floor 5 as he knew a secret dungeon on that floor, on the floors which are multiple of 5, there is no difficulty selector, everyone had to do the game.

The objective of floor 5 was to save a village from a attack. Aryan knew how much time he had so he ran South towards the hidden dungeon, once he reached there, he said the passcode to enter the dungeon, "kill".

The dungeon should have been B rank and at most A rank even if the monsters evolved as they were skeletons soldiers of a lich. But what the system notification showed completely frightened him.

[You have entered the dungeon Gate to Hell(sss+)]

He had shivers down his spine, he was then teleported in , He couldn't belive what he saw, lava everywhere, ground just above it, half broken pillars standing in the lava and a throne about 50 meters away. On which, sitting was the gate keeper of hell, 'Romphodies', as his senses came back, he could hear him saying somthing, his voice was deep and was enough to kill someone with just it's pressure, he had. book in his left hand covering his face and right hand on his throne. Romphodies starts to speak some names,

"BELIAL"

"BEHAMOTH"

"SATANAS"

"LUCIFER"

"well well well... I don't see your name here, who you might be?"
