Anthony’s face turned red and his breathing became heavy as he glared at Jake. His bodyguards, who were circling the room, drew their weapons and pointed them towards Jake. But they suddenly couldn't even move their bodies or pull the triggers of their guns. Even Anthony and the three wizards stopped moving.

“Do you know what you’re doing?!” Jake screamed as he walked towards Anthony. He grabbed the man's collar and shoved him up against the wall. Rage was evident in his eyes, an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time. “You’re going to sacrifice these people only to summon an evil that can destroy this world?! Are you that crazy?!”

Anthony smirked, then laughed. “You didn’t change a bit. You still care for others, though others don’t care about you.”

Jake pushed Anthony further against the wall, causing the wall to cave in and Anthony to gasp for air. “You’re wrong! I don’t care about the others! I care about this world! My current life here is way different than before!”

    The following day, news of Anthony and his men's arrest made headlines on television, radio, and social media. The government temporarily shut down his manufacturing facility and laboratories, and more witnesses appeared to testify and file charges against him. Along with this, many people were protesting about poverty and the government's failure to address it. They were also complaining about the rapid increase in crime in their city. And in front of the Drummond Pharmaceuticals' headquarters are people holding some placards, requesting a pay raise.“Hey! Jake! You gotta wake up now! It’s already 11 a.m!” Sebastian shouted in front of Jake's room, knocking loudly on the door. “Dang! Since when did you make me your personal assistant?!”Jake peered through the door as it slowly opened. His eyes were still squinting, and his hair was a mess. He was still dressed in the same clothes he wore yesterday. “Can I skip the office today? I am so tired.”“No, you can’t! You’re the CEO and you

    “Are you crazy?! You’re going to approve the workers’ request to increase their pay?!” Mr. Robinson screamed and slammed the table. Everyone around the table looked at Jake. “We are losing a lot. And yet you want to approve these rats’ requests?”Jake glared at Mr.Robinson but he didn’t say anything. He waited for the others to speak. “I totally disagree with this, too. Mr. CEO,” Mr. Everdeen commented. “You’re just showing that you don’t know how to handle this business.”Jake nodded and sighed. Then he looked at each and everyone of the five board of directors that were there. “Most of the protesters were from the laboratory and manufacturing facility. Imagine them stopping work, is that only their loss?” Jake asked politely. The only woman in the room, Ms. Green commented. “But we can always replace them. There are lots of people looking for jobs these days!”“But are they all suitable for the jobs? Or do we need to train again to ensure the quality of our medicine and products?

    Jake spent the rest of the day touring their other laboratories and manufacturing facilities. He noticed that the workers who had joined the protest this morning had returned to work for the day. He thanked them for their efforts and shared the good news about their requests, which put a big smile on their faces. Actually, the workers' protest reminded him of the citizens of Eldramoria when he first arrived there. When he got there, the land was dry and dark, food was scarce, and the entire land was ruled by a tyrant and evil ruler. Despite those trying times, a group of mages helped the poor citizens, including him, with whatever they had and could. That's why, when he saw the despair on their employees' faces, he didn't hesitate to help them in any way he could. He also knew he would need some help soon and that he needed to gain the trust of their employees.The sun had already set, when he returned to his office, and he still had some paperwork to finish before he could go for

    What the Eldratome said confused Jake and Archris even more. Jake in particular. He began to think about what he might have forgotten and why he had been returned to his own world. He also made a concerted effort to recall all of the knowledge that Eldratome claimed he had already acquired, but he failed.He even asked Archris whether he had lost any of his memories as well and if he could use all of the spells he was familiar with. Archris assured him that he was not forgetting anything. He could remember spells, even powerful ones, however, he couldn't perform them all.They tried to talk to the Eldratome again, but the book didn’t answer them anymore.And the unanswered questions in their minds piled up.“We have no choice now but to find

    Days passed, and the news of the escaped prisoners became a hot topic everywhere. The city's and its neighbors' crime rates have continued to rise, making police extremely busy. And the same thing happened in other places where prisoners escaped and all of the cops and wardens were killed.Banks ceased operations, and they only transacted online, and going out at night, particularly in more depressed areas, was a big mistake. As a result, more people lost their jobs, and food scarcity became serious. Other countries began to send assistance, though it was ineffective.The criminal proceedings against Anthony began. However, it was put on hold due to Anthony's health. He ceased speaking, eating, and sleeping. However, despite this, he appeared to be in good health and doing well.“He knows something for s

    Jake's presentation was immediately canceled, and he requested that Sebastian bring the test subject to the hospital. He even gave the man one tablet of the supplement he created before escorting him out of the room. Then he faced the board of directors, his brows knitted and his eyes flaring.“Are you happy now?” he asked, looking at the board who were all just looking at the table and couldn’t glance at him. “Did you even use your brains before doing that?”He walked slowly between Mr. Robinson and Mr. Everdeen before slamming the table hard. This caused the two to flinch.“That man could file a criminal case against us,” he said while looking down at Mr. Everdeen. “Imagine if my ointment didn’t work, we could have followed the Smithsons to the grave!”

    Jake was unable to sleep last night, so he woke up tired and with black bags under his eyes. He couldn't believe what his father had said to him. He even insisted on speaking with him last night, but his father told him that he would not accept visitors and that he should wait.Actually, he was a jumbled mess of emotions. He was overjoyed that the company his father adored would be transferred to him. It had previously been an impossible dream, which was why he couldn't contain his excitement when he heard what his father said last night.He was, however, saddened when he learned of his father's condition. He knew he was mad at him for making his life miserable and for not giving him the young life he deserved, but he felt a twinge of pain when he heard his father groan in pain.“Am I this so

    Three days after the Mr. Drummond’s death, his funeral was held. His sudden death was put on the news and became a number one topic in all the social media platforms. Despite Mr. Drummond's popularity, influence, and wealth, no one from his family attended his funeral except Jake, Caroline, and Sebastian. And the rest were their employees. Jake wasn't surprised because, as far as he could remember, his father had cast aside his relatives whom he thought would impede his progress a long time ago.After the funeral service, only Jake, Caroline, and Sebastian remained in the cemetery.“I’ll be going now, big brother,” Caroline said, her eyes were puffy, and her nose was red. Jake turned to face his sister and hugged her. He said nothing, he just hugged her tightly. Caroline then gestured goodbye and walked away with her bodyguards. Sebastian called her to say goodbye, but she didn't look back and kept walking, leaving him with a downturned head. “She must hate me a lot,” Sebastian c

    Karlow quickly dashed to Damascus and he carried him on his back. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to match that form of Valaree, and that retreating would be the best option for them to save their lives. He wanted to fight but he didn’t want to waste the second life he had now. So, he couldn’t be reckless. But he hadn’t gone far away yet, when Valaree jumped in front of him.“Don’t look at his eyes!” Damascus said faintly. Karlow quickly looked away from Valaree and he started to run to the other side. “You can try looking at his chest. Just avoid looking at his face, or else you’ll be tempted to look at those eyes.” Damascus said again.“Damn it! How can I fight like that?” Karlow exclaimed.“Just put me down,” Damascus said. “I will just slow you down. I am done for. So, just go and fight without thinking about me.”Karlow snickered. “As if a noble knight like me can do that to a comrade who saved my life.”“Ah! Damn it! Let me go!” Damascus shouted.Karlow was about to answer b

    Damascus immediately ran towards Jake and hugged his friend tightly. Then he sat on the ground while catching his breath. “You could’ve killed me with that woman,” he said while looking at the ground. “You even saved me from death.”“So the healing spell that I cast down there healed you?” Jake asked. “But you were dead. You were dead even before we got there.”“That’s what I knew as well. But I guess, you have awakened something that wasn’t awakened even by the strongest mages in history. Or maybe even the Aetherlock,” Damascus replied.Jake looked at his friend. He did not say anything, but he thought about what Damascus said. He knew he didn’t have the magic to bring dead people to life. He didn’t even try using the reanimation magic even before. So, there must be a possibility that what Damascus said was true. “Anyway, we don’t have much time to think about it right now,” Damascus suddenly said while slowly standing up.Jake nodded and his brows knitted when he saw the bodies of

    “Damascus?!” Thalara shouted after coughing up blood. “How come you’re still alive?! Damn you!”Damascus snickered while looking up at her. “Have you forgotten? I was once called ‘The Immortal Damascus.’ And once you have an Archmagus Maximus friend, you’re unlikely to die easily. Right, Jake?”“You son of a gun, I thought you hit the bucket already,” Jake said with a faint smile on his face. Tharala cast a spell and the sword that was pierced in her slowly moved and was pulled out. The sword fell but Damascus caught it. She then cast a healing spell but Jake dispelled it, causing her wound to bleed more.“Does it hurt?” Jake asked as he slowly floated around Thalara. “How does it feel to be stabbed in the back by someone you know?”Thalara did not respond. She just gritted her teeth while pressing the wound to at least lessen the bleeding. “You think that’s painful?” he asked again. “But that was nothing compared to the pain that you caused me.”Thalara then smiled and looked at Ja

    The Vipers and the Wolves started to attack. They used all the magic powers they had to suppress the evil gods and Tharanos. Archris quickly ran towards Jake and he pulled him away from the chaos. “Bring him inside Caroline’s barrier,” Lyca said. “We’ll fight with our comrades here. We have to be in the front line. You know our mages wouldn’t last long and that there will be bloodbath in just a matter of minutes. So, move fast. Okay?”Archris nodded his head. Then without a word, he teleported together with Jake near the evacuation area. Caroline then touched the barrier and let them in. “Oh, no,” Caroline exclaimed. Alica beside her was crying and the people started to crowd around them trying to see what happened to Jake.“Come on, Caroline. Don’t cry,” Jake said. He was trying to hide the pain, but his face couldn’t. Then his body started trembling. “Caroline, we don’t have much time,” Archris said. “Heal Professor as fast as you can. We have to go back to the battlefield.”“B-

    Thalara’s intelligence was hard to match. She was the queen, the leader of the forest priestesses, and once, hailed the greatest forest priestess ever lived. She had led the elite faction, and protected them from extinction even before Jake arrived in Eldramoria. She had won many battles already, and was a feared tactician during the war of Eldramora against Tharanos.And Jake just forgot that. And that mistake put him in a terrible situation.He was still dizzy from the punch he took from Tharanos. He could feel his body, but couldn’t move. He wanted to crawl away, as he knew what was coming next. And heard an unsheathing sword. And he yelped when he felt something was stabbed in his back. It was so painful but he couldn’t even scream. “Jake!” “Aetherlock… I am sorry…”“No! You aren’t dying yet!”The ring on his finger illuminated a bright light, causing blindness to those around him. It was so bright that even the people in the evacuation area had to cover their eyes.Jake felt a

    Jake looked at the five evil gods behind Tharanos. He remembered all of them, and the struggles he had against them flashed in his memories. He might have defeated Voragor and Dudgara, but he knew that fighting the remaining five together, and Tharanos would be a suicide. From the left of Tharanos, he saw the evil god of Pride. A woman in a red leather suit that was not zipped properly on the chest part because of the chest's massive size. Her name was Samarah. Next is the evil god of envy, a man in deep blue armor. He had blue eyes and long hair. He was called Ingo. Beside him is a man without a shirt, the evil god of lust. He was just wearing pants and leather boots. And his physic was so nice like he was a perfectly carved sculpture. He also had a blindfold. He was known as ValareeThen almost beside Tharanos, is a bald man with a red beard. He was wearing armor made of gold and a cape laced with shining gemstones. He is the evil god of greed, Mammonar. And the last one, was a sma

    Tharanos put for marks around the evacuation area. Then he cast a spell. A black translucent barrier appeared and covered the evacuation area. The normal people didn’t see it, but Caroline did. And she suddenly felt fear when she saw it covered the place.She looked at her brother. Jake was still on the ground bound by binding magic. She tried to call him, but his eyes were closed and not responding.The evacuation center went into panic when they saw what happened. They still couldn’t fully understand what was happening, but they knew that they were in grave danger. They started shouting at the police and military, asking for assurance that they would be safe. Others were asking when the rescue would be coming, and some were forcing themselves out of the place.It was chaos, and the officers and authorities were having a hard time controlling the crowd. And in the middle of that, some fights broke out. A woman and a middle-aged man then approached Caroline. The woman pushed her fro

    Tharanos slowly descended from above, his eyes locked at Jake and Thalara followed him with a proud face. The tyrant god-like creature that once terrorized Eldramoria softly landed on the ground, and even the people inside the barrier felt the strong and dreadful presence from that man and they started squirm and ran behind the officers and Caroline. But Jake did not waver. He just stood in the spot where he appeared while looking at the man who was just casually walking towards him. The dark aura emanating out of Tharanos did not affect him.He then looked around and he could not help but sigh when he saw the city was lit by the fire created by the evil gods walking towards where they were. The buildings and houses were destroyed. The whole city was already in ruins. “You look worried,” Tharanos said. His steps were accompanied by black lightning and smoke. “Are you worried about the city?”Tharanos raised his hands and the buildings behind him all fell down. Jake looked at the dir

    Jake sat beside Damascus’ not moving body. His head and shoulders were down, and he kept on sighing. There were no tears coming out, but the fury in his heart kept on growing. And it was greater than the sadness that he was feeling at the moment. He touched Damascus’ shoulder, hoping that he would still feel a bit of life from his former friend. But there was nothing. The body in front of him was lifeless. He stood up and without saying anything or looking at Lyca, he headed to the stairs leading down. His face was dark, and his eyes were glaring. There was also small lighting surrounding his body and fists. And the most notable of all was that the Aetherlock was shining brightly.Lyca and the two knights could feel Jake’s fury, and that stopped them from saying anything. They just followed the Archmage until they reached the final floor of that dungeon. It was a long pathway and on the sides were also cages filled with ominous creatures in Eldramoria. However, the floor contained
