Hello, dear Makiyans! Since time has been tight around the schedule, I am constantly writing, but I'm not near to where I should be to start uploading again!
So in return, I will present you a free chapter full of bonus content related to the book. Schools of magic, facts about characters, world knowledge, etc! Things mentioned or not throughout the story.
Alphilia - The name of the world they live in. Comes from Philius as it is created by Philius. ( Or so people from Wartair believe)
__
The Everburning Eye
The North Pole of this world.
It is an icy continent, though in the center there is a large hellish hole that emits a large pillar of fire. (It is actually full of mana)
_______________
Wartair - the western continent
Wartair’s Philius is actually a religion based conspiracy. The very god which is Philius is actually made by the king’s dynasty. He trades his lifetime mana pool for the grand illusion of their god. The king’s spell covers the whole continent and some more around it. It is a massive bubble where the crafted god Philius watches over.
The spell keeps all people away from riot thoughts or any sort of political disapproval.
_____________
Migigaia - the eastern continent
It has an actual sun and moon cycle. This proves that the planet is spinning and it isn’t flat.
_______________________
Beleth is greedy and wants all the power to himself.
Being born with the tattoos that marked the destiny child, Beleth was taught the ways of Crack. By the age of twelve, his powers grew beyond control and he eliminated the other Crack users one by one.
___________________________
In the past, king Beleth's father - Tamiel - and Levi the Necromancer lusted for battle endlessly. In a clash between them, they opened the pillar of eternal fire, cracking the small continent and separating it into multiple islands. In order to survive, Tamiel sacrifices the life of all habitants to the Abyssal Crack Magic, while Levi has no choice but to sacrifice the life of all his people.
____________
“Spiritual Energy” or also called “Mana” is the energy used to wield magic.
Being able to wield magic needs spiritual energy which is a gift. One does not develop or discover it in time.
___________
Different Schools of magic:
Axis magic - practiced mostly by the axis religion or mages who are pure of heart and soul. It is based on prayers and channeled spells devoted to Philius. The God gives the power requested but first his magic goes through the caster's body to test if he's a good or evil soul. This school of magic is entirely based on healing and giving life.
Crack magic - The wielders are only a few and they all have tattoos on them that they are born with. Having the gift of ’crack’ they can learn to wield this vile sorcery. Crack magic has the power to control the very fundamentals of the world. Every spell cast has its own backfire, but it works in an even more devastating way - one thing you take from somewhere else - you must return it or something equivalent. Otherwise, the caster will slowly die-out.
Elemental magic - wielding the elements - fire, water, air, earth.
Arcane Magic - Alternates reality in different ways by manipulating objects or the very molecules of things. Manakinesis is an example of this school of magic.
Black Magic - It consists of curses, demonology, summoning, and is intended for destruction. It has a crossover with the other types of magic. It draws the essentials necessary to kill.
Illusionary magic - Sorcery based on twisting or confusing the senses. There are two steps of illusionary magic. The basic one concerning the five base senses - Vision, Hearing, Smell, Taste, Touch
. The more advanced spells also add another four - Balance, Proprioception (body awareness), Temperature, Pain.
_____________
Nobody knew about them, but the secret formation called The Wings of Anarchy seems to have enormously powerful members, rumours say there are even immortals among them.

Some more bonus info:
Caleuche - A ghost-ship, seen in white, always has party noises coming from it, or at least that’s what it used to be. Azazel took over the souls of the ghosts who were on the ship and took it for himself.
The Spade’s flame - A flaming katana. When it gets drawn from its sheath, it bursts into fire. A wielder who can wield it well can make its flame blade extend it with magma material.
Spade’s Flame. A flaming katana that bursts into fire when drawn. It can form magma. It’s potential is very dependent on its wielder. Fate Of The Flame - the user is engulfed in magma gaining the power of the flames.

The dragon-powered lights of the kingdom’s buildings reflected into Eloise’s eyes, filling the already rich brown color of her iris. Andrey’s eyes explored each wall and corner of the room, expecting to find a clock somewhere, but failing to do so, he vacillated, “At what time does the sun come up?” The eighteen-years-old princess’ soft lips moved ever-gently, “It should come up exactly at six o’clock.” “Aha… And what time is it now?” Andrey slowly moved back as Eloise’s arms wrapped around his. “It’s somewhere around four.” her reply came almost instantaneously. “Um…” he looked at her eyes, which were as if sealed into his, “Don’t you think there’s a lot of time until then?”
Silence. Patience. Oxygen. Flowing. Control. Limitation. Freedom, achieved through manipulation of boundaries. A dragon’s thunder-like roar vibrated inside Andrey’s head. The cracking of all self-control and explosion of fear awoke him from the deep state of meditating. he had fallen in He jumped on his legs, trying to catch a breath, and then moved his head paranoingly left and right, discovering nothing else but the wind playing with his hair and cape. Nothing else in his presence. “Argh,” he grunted, holding onto his furiously beating heart, “What was that… a scream? Cry out for help?” Finally recovering his calm state of
Staring into the setting sun, Prince Alextraz and Princess Eloise Strazjester, along with Andrey, were getting ready for their plan to be executed. “I’m asking for the last time. You’re sure you can jump us at the exact location, right?” Andrey wariness showed as he raised eyebrows at Alex. “Stop trying to mock me. I’m the Prince of Strazjester! Of course, I can jump with the most fluent precision.” “Brother… Andrey Makiya… Are you certain that I can’t come with you? I can fight on par with you two! We’d be back-to-back and protect each other!” “No!” They both neglected her in unison. “Ugh… Okay… Then. Please, protect yourself! Keep careful watch of your backs!” “Of course,
The buildings were aligned in a circle around the small plaza. Andrey and Alex were cloaked and waiting, leaning against the two-story building at which the higher-up pieces of the military puzzle were staying the night. Taking the head of a general was the real goal. Claiming it for the media and displaying Prince Alextraz Strazjester to be much more than what people took him for. But the fact that the building was swarming with higher ups was a detail the commoner they interrogated had failed to mention. Andrey and Alex had their heartbeats rising as the sound of thousands of desperate prisoners’ steps beating against the ground, finally liberated, were running out for vengeance and blood. Their frail and weak bodies, close to abolished by hunger, could now finally feast on whatever they laid their
“No!” Alex screamed as the arrow exploded in a purple color at Andrey’s location. “Your friend is quite capable, Your Highness!” Roy mocked, as he made use of the situation and grabbed Alex by the hand, activating his ring’s power. Lightning travelled to Roy’s hand, charging the ring with The Prince’s royal mana. The sudden drainage of strength brought the thunder-god to his knees. “That’s right, my Prince… bow before me.” Roy chuckled slightly, still draining the royal power. “How… dare you… Mock a Royal’s clarity! STAINING IT! WITH YOUR!” The Prince’s eyes glowed stronger, as lightning bounced all over his body, making him look much more like a body made of electricity rather than a human being, “FILTHY HANDS!”
“I… I- I can’t… move.” Andrey mumbled. “Ihhm comphhlhehthehly… pahalyed.” Alex spoke, hardly moving his mouth. Roy spoke, “Very smart of you. You figured out I can cancel magic, so you used physical objects to immobilize me. Too bad, but I’ll be getting reinforcements anytime now. And I don’t wish this even to my worst foes, but I think my lady will see you as well… oh god, what waits for you when she sees what you’ve done to me.” The knight laughed through his struggles, entertained by the images of what he believed would happen to his foes. Alex and Andrey made a feeble attempt at speaking, but unrecognizable speech was all that came out of their mouths, as the paralysis really had filled them up. “Oh, yeah, you’
Different voices spoke in an echoing pattern. “He’s not been in his room all this time, as we thought!” “We should be ashamed!”“We underestimated him yet again!” “What is more absurd, I believe, is that the people were all ready to rebel against him, and if they had done so, they would have thrown away their best-fit for a king.” “We were ready to abandon the thing we have been so in search of!” “People are blind. People are weak. They are so frail that someone needs to apply a little force to them, and they follow that person no matter if just.” Andrey ma
“I did my part, as we had spoken. I have gathered plenty of scrolls with engraved mana and spells on them. All status related to our army’s power is here as well.” Eloise spoke as they went into a huge room full of screens with various information readied, in wait for someone to read it out loud as a report. “Ellie… You’ve done so well!” Alex complimented his sister, walking next to her and resting his hand on her shoulder. “Indeed, you have, Ellie. Good job.” It was easy to notice that Andrey’s smile had a bigger impact on her compared to The Prince’s words and gestures. While Alex and Eloise discussed strategies, counting the numbers of their army, and other war-related things, Andrey only observed their communication and kept silent. Half an hour had passed with v
