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

    Jake instructed Sebastian to secure the floor and ensure that no one went there. Then he summoned Archris and asked him to join him. And that very night, they examined Amore’s body together.Jake healed the woman's body perfectly prior to her death, so her body appeared normal. However, using Archris' magic, they saw the woman's brain burst like it had been shot by a high-caliber gun.“Is there an entry somewhere in her skull?” Jake asked.“No. I can say that the damage started in the center of her brain. It exploded like a tiny nuclear bomb,” Archris replied.Jake sighed and walked over to the refrigerator. He took a can of beer and drank it all at once. He closed his eyes before crushing the can in his hand.“This is another forbidden magic. But how in the world did they get their hands on this?” Jake asked. “This world was not created with magic. So, where the hell did these powers come from?”“I also ask the same question, Professor.”“Then I learned that Dragon can grant magic pow

    The normal routine at Drummond Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics Corporation returned to normal the next day. As if nothing happened and the smiles on the faces of the people there already came back. Sebastian and his group started roaming around the building area. Also, he ordered the security to be more strict with the people coming and going out of the building. Even to the employees. They made sure that they were really registered in their database before they could enter the premises. They also stopped receiving visitors in their office. Jake asked Sebastian to assign a place where their personnel could meet their clients or visitors. Many asked questions about these sudden security restrictions, but they just told them that they were for the safety of everyone, especially now that the crime rate in the city has reached its peak. It was already late afternoon, and Jake had just finished meeting with a client. He went directly to the conference room for a scheduled meeting with the

    Jake called Archris again and ordered him not to fight as of now. He wanted them to just watch over what was happening and save, if they could, some people’s lives. Then he ordered Sebastian to take care of the building, no matter what. “I already saw you fight,” Jake said. “I believe you can protect this building together with our bodyguards. But if you face a magic wielder, don’t engage. Run and hide.” Sebastian grimaced and walked in front of him. “I’m not a coward like you used to be, and I know what to do! Just make sure you go now, because I’m already worried about Caroline!” He exhaled and stretched his neck. “Alright!” He moved his hand as he cast a teleportation spell. Then bright orange sigils appeared beneath and above him, and in an instant, he disappeared from his office. And that left Sebastian with his mouth open and confused. Jake arrived in his room at their mansion. He heightened his senses and enhanced his physical strength with magic. Then he slowly opened his

    Jake cast a binding spell on the one with the gun and the one with the long hair. Then he walked in front of the huge, bald man.“Don’t you remember me, huh?” the man with a scar asked while grinning and glaring at him. “For sure you know me, you dumb kid!”He stared at the man as he tried to remember him. The man’s face was really familiar, but he couldn’t tell where he saw him.“I am Rex Allen,” the man introduced himself, then groaned as he pulled himself up to sit up. “And I was the top pharmaceutical scientist in your father’s laboratory. I was behind some of the greatest drugs that he released, but he took all the credit, and I took all the blame.”He paused for a while as he kept on staring at the man. Until he remembered an incident when he was a child where there was a scandal involving a certain drug from their company that killed hundreds of people.“Your face is telling me that you recalled something,” the man said. “Aren’t you disgusted to live in this luxury because your

    “Listen, Sir Rex. I sincerely want to help you,” Jake said while looking straight into the man’s glaring eyes. “But if you’ve decided to continue this, then I’ll have no choice but to fight back.”Rex laughed. He stood in a fighting stance, stretching his neck from left to right.“Ah, don’t listen to him, Rex. We have decided to rule this city after this,” Will said while aiming the gun at Jake, ready to fire.“That’s right, hulk! We are now more powerful than before. We can get anything we want!” Jason seconded.“This must be the result of the mutation experiment Christine told me about,” Jake thought to himself while casting to repair his mystic barrier. “This is a problem. I hope he didn’t give this drug to all the prisoners!”A police siren was suddenly heard. It was far, but it was getting louder gradually.“Ah! The pests are here!” Will said. “How many police officers does this city have? They keep coming even though we keep on killing them!”“Mr. Rex,” Jake called the huge man.

    Jake partially healed all their bodyguards and maids before he let the paramedics bring them to the hospital. The police also asked questions about what happened, and he and the first maid he healed told the police everything. But of course, he didn't tell them about magic. However, Police Captain Cruz noticed something very bizarre. "You said that they only have guns, but why is this kitchen like this? It looked like it was destroyed by a bomb," the officer asked. He smiled while scratching his head, and the maid looked at him. "Ah! Yeah! They had these small improvised bombs, and they threw them in every corner of our kitchen." "And you only got a little scratch on your jaw?" "Come on, Captain. Just be thankful I wasn't hurt," he said before putting his arm on the officer's shoulder and pushing him slowly away from there. "Alright, if you say so. Thank you for your time and cooperation." The officer turned away and called his men. "Uhm, wait!" He ran after the police captain.

    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
