THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM BREAKING THE ALCHEMIST'S CURSE
[I choose to break the curse on the Alchemist.] He replied to the system.For a few seconds, there was no response from the System, then a list of instructions appeared.[To break the Alchemist’s curse…Access MannaLocate the dark curse binding the core of his powersChannel Manna to the core of his powersDirect the dark curse from his CoreAbsorb the curse.]He was fine with all the instructions except the last one. Absorb the curse? Won’t that be harmful to himself? He didn’t argue though, he knew that he just needed to focus on accomplishing his task.“Before you try to break the curse, let me give you a tip. You’re new to Manna and all it entails so you need to have an anchor.” The Doctor began to speak and Xaden looked at him in confusion.“An anchor? I don’t understand.”“When you access the Manna around you, using it for something small will be of no consequence. But for something of this magnitude, a curse that even I couldn’t break despite my expertise, you need to be groun
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM TIME FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT
It took almost eight hours to successfully grow all the ingredients and when Xaden was done, he felt so tired like he had been drained of energy. “You did well for your first time, and you’re feeling fatigued because you don’t have experience in wielding Manna for this long. Over time, your body will get used to it and you can go several days doing this without feeling anything.” The Doctor said and Xaden nodded. “I’ll be fine. What’s important is getting these back to the president, time is running out, we only have a few hours left to save him.” Xaden said as he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. The president was already on death's door by the time he came back with Doctor Flexir and the herbs. His body had gone cold and his eyes were shut and he was barely breathing. Malessa beside her father in tears. When she saw Xaden, she immediately rushed to him, then paused when she saw the stranger beside him. She immediately became alert when she recognised the stranger as one o
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM AN IMPOSTOR
President Adrian stood behind a podium, his expression a mix of joy and relief. He was finally fulfilling the promise he made to his late friend, John, Xaden’s grandfather. He had been given a second chance at life just so he could help Xaden reclaim the Knight Consortium which was his inheritance. The media got his word well. The world watched with bated breath as he prepared to share a deeply personal announcement. The room, filled with dignitaries, press, andsome citizens eager for news, hushed in anticipation. "Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed citizens of our great nation," Adrian's voice resonated with a gravity that held the attention of the entire audience. "Today, I stand before you not only as your president but as a grandfather who has experienced the profound joy of a family reunited. The man I am about to introduce to you may not be related to me by blood, but I see him as mine. I made an oath to a dear friend of mine to take care of him and today is one of the many ways I w
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM SKIN WALKING
Adrian had just finished giving his speech and went to his office to get some files when suddenly, he found himself in a room in a completely different house. He was confused. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He knocked and tried to shout but got no response. When he turned around, he screamed out of shock and touched his face. His face was different, and not just his face, his body. He recognised the face. This was the face and body of Sylas Eder, the current CEO of the Knight Consortium. Sylas was Adrian’s prime suspect in the murder of Xaden’s parents several years ago though Adrian didn’t have any real proof of the crime being committed. Sylas was the step brother of Xaden’s grandfather, John. After John’s father had died and left the Consortium to him, his mother had remarried a man named Miles Eder. Sylas was Miles Eder’s son from his own first wife and had been an infant at the time. As he grew, he was envious of John’s son. He had fought to have a share in the Knig
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM UNLOCKING THE FOUR WINDS
“The martial arts teacher, Wang Yu, is an old family friend. Even before I learnt of Manna, we used to visit there when I was much younger and play around his dojo while Father was trained. Later on, he also became my master for a year before I decided to focus my efforts on Alchemy. But my daughter, Rai, has more interest in martial arts, too much interest if you ask me. So he’s her master now, though for a while, she hasn’t been able to attend class because it’s not safe to commute with the council out to get us. I remember seeing that quote on the oak tree in his field. It was carved into it and I never understood it till now because there have never been cherry blossoms anywhere close to the dojo. It’s a riddle so I assume a cherry blossom tree is what the cherry blooms part of the line means instead of the cherry fruit because obviously fruits can’t bloom.”“Master Wang Yu hasn’t accepted a new student in years, Malessa. He only accepted Rai because he owed me a favour and she w
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM DOMINIQUE
“The sigils are the power gems of each wind. Usually, an Air mage can only control or wield one of the four winds. Those who practise and gain further mastery can wield two, but it is very draining and takes a toll on them, so people usually stick to one. I am the only one who can wield all four winds without consequence. And now you have been given the ability to wield all four. I will teach you to grow your ability and increase the power level of each wind.” Wang Yu said as he began to lead them away from the building and towards the oak tree in the field.“The East wind represents Spring, and brings destruction just as tornadoes are more likely to occur during spring. The West wind represents Autumn, and this wind brings dryness just as the leaves wither in Autumn. The South wind represents Summer because it is the opposite of the North and Summer is the hottest of all four seasons. And the North Wind represents Winter, the coldest season.” He continued to speak.“It requires great
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM SHADOWKIN
In the confines of the presidential office, Dominique stood before President Adrian, her eyes reflecting a mix of remorse and regret. "I want to apologise," she began, her voice tinged with sincerity. "I cannot excuse or justify what Sylas has done. I'm here to acknowledge the wrongs and take responsibility for my part in this. I should have been more observant of him. I know most of these things happened before I got married to him, but I still feel guilty. I know he will never swallow his pride and apologise so I want to do it on his behalf. I will try and talk some sense into him to avoid further disputes."Adrian, though still carrying the weight of the recent turmoil, acknowledged her sincerity. He knew it would be wrong to blame her unjustly because of her husband’s misdeeds, but he was still mistrustful of her intentions.What if Sylas just sent her here to deceive them and get close to them as a spy? Or what if she was actually here of her own accord, but still with nefarious
THE CONSORTIUM SYSTEM FIRST APPEARANCE TO THE BOARD
When she woke up, she thought she had gone blind because she couldn’t even see her fingers even though she was sure she was holding them in front of her face. She tried to move but there was a clanging sound as the chains she was held down with moved.“Hello!” She screamed into the darkness.She tried to figure out who could have summoned forbidden shadowkin and also ordered them to take her. The last thing she remembered was seeing shadowkin in the alleyway leading to her house. The leader said they knew what she had done, and the only thing she could have possibly done to warrant being seen as betrayal was going to visit Xaden and Adrian. She knew her husband wasn’t a good person after finding out what he had done to Xaden but could he really be responsible for this too? She was confused. She didn’t want to believe that she had been married to a monster all these years but there was no other explanation even if it was a bit confusing because she was sure that Syalas had been asleep
