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
Jake struggled as he was trying to free himself from the smoke tentacle wrapped around his neck. He tried his best to control his breathing so as not to pass out and die. He couldn’t believe that he would get caught easily. “Just stop struggling. The more you struggle, the tighter that tentacle will get,” Amore said with a huge grin on her face. She continued to move her hands to control the tentacles to penetrate the mystic barrier completely. The seven tentacles kept on jabbing the barrier with their sharp, pointed ends. And Jake couldn’t do anything but maintain the mystic barrier, or else he would be pounded until he was nothing but pulp.“Rumors said you’re strong, but I guess those rumors were just untrue,” the woman said. Then she cast a spell that made the tentacles longer, thicker, and stronger. And she controlled them to keep pounding on the mystic barrier. Those poundings made very loud banging sounds, and after some time, the shield started to crack until it completely
Dimension exchange magic was one of the most important magic to master. This type of magic has the potential to determine the outcome of a fight or even a war. However, only a few could master or even use this type of magic, and it could only be used once per day because it drained a lot of magical energy.Jake's dimension, Void, was one of the most feared dimensions in Eldramoria, and only he and his master could master it. Jake knew a lot of dimension magic and could use some at the same time, but for the time being, he could only pull off the void.“How did you that? How did you stop my magic?!” Amore shouted as she dragged herself away from Jake.“I thought you heard rumors about me, you should’ve
