2024-10-29 19:42:56-Rakades City, Schedek Kingdom-
The scorching sun shone down on the city of Rakades. It was a city close to the Ymir deserts so it was always very hot.
The tanned citizens were going about their daily businesses. Merchants could be found at almost every corner of the city, showing how popular the city was. It was a small city with about 50,000 citizens.
The people of Rakades were devout worshippers of Arzek. They called him the 'Sun God', as they believed he was responsible for their safety. There were different temples throughout the city, showing how deep their beliefs were.
In the biggest temple located at the heart of the city, a curvaceous young woman dressed in a white garment was praying to the statue in a fountain.
Her skin was very smooth, and her curves were heavily pronounced, a perfect example of the hourglass figure. Her face was covered in a veil, but it did nothing to offset her beauty, only making her seem like a mysterious beauty.
Suddenly she stopped praying. She turned around and saw a handsome man with black hair walking towards her.
He was dressed in a priest garment, with a purple robe over his garment. His purple robe was beautifully embroidered with golden threads at the neck, while on the chest were three stars. He held a cross in his right hand, and was admiring the veiled woman curves.
"Azgalor."
The man named Azgalor smiled, showing off his pristine white teeth. His smile made him look devilishly handsome.
"Aisha."
"What are you doing here?" The woman named Aisha asked; obviously displeased at the appearance of Azgalor.
Azgalor chuckled at her question. He raised his head and faced the scorching sun before replying her.
"Why? Can't I be here? I'm still a citizen you know? Am I not welcome here?" Azgalor asked.
"You stopped being welcome here 3 years ago." Aisha stated coldly.
Azgalor stopped smiling after hearing her reply before asking in an equally cold tone.
"Where is it?"
"Where is what?"
"Don't play dumb Aisha. Where is it?" Azgalor asked coldly, his eyes narrowed.
"It's no longer here."
Suddenly the temperature dropped, and a terrifying aura burst out from Azgalor's body.
"I'm not here to play with you Aisha. Tell me where it is now or this city will cease to exist."
"You've finally showed your true colors Azgalor. You will have to kill me before I tell you anything." Aisha said defiantly, her own aura rising from her body while glaring daggers at Azgalor.
"Very well. If that's your wish, I will grant it."
All of a sudden Aisha felt the strength sapping away from her. In the blink of an eye Azgalor appeared in front her and gripped her jaw.
He removed the veil covering her face before planting his lips on hers. Aisha tried to struggle but it was futile. She couldn't use her magic.
Azgalor forced his tongue into her lips and twirled it. His right hand moved to Aisha butt and grabbed it before giving it a hard slap.
Aisha inadvertently let out a moan, her nether regions already getting soaked. Azgalor smirked before pulling away.
"Why did you stop?" Aisha asked, clearly conflicted but wanting more from him.
"I wanted to do that one last time. Forgive me." Azgalor said, a conflicted expression appearing on his face.
Aisha looked at him in confusion, her heart still beating furiously from the kiss.
Azgalor clasped his hands together and uttered something. Aisha suddenly fell limp in his arms.
He set her down carefully before sighing. She was going to detest him for this.
He looked at her sleeping peacefully before moving his gaze away from her.
"Melchizedek!"
As soon as he cast his magic, a humongous magic circle appeared over the small city. It cast a shade over the busy city and blocked the scorching sun. People stopped what they were doing and looked at the giant magic circle in the sky.
A young police man, who graduated at the top of his class, saw the magic circle. His face turned ashen as he immediately recognized the magic circle.
"Impossible! It can't be! A grand scale magic circle?!"
He turned around and amplified his voice with magic before screaming.
"Run! Everyone stop what you're doing and run! Your lives are in danger!"
Everyone looked at the young man as if he was crazy. Run? What for? Our lives are in danger? As if! We have Arzek the Sun God protecting us. Nothing shall happen to us.
The people snickered at him before going back to their activities.
While this was going on, Azgalor clasped his hands, the cross in his hand shining a very brilliant white. He looked at the sky before saying.
"Archangel's wrath; Hellfire."
The magic circle suddenly turned crimson red. It started spinning wildly, draining torrents of mana from all over the city. The alarm, which was supposed to ring during a monster invasion, started ringing.
A huge dome like barrier covered the cities, while the street lights mounted on the roads started shining red. It was a red alert.
Everyone all over the cities stopped what they were doing and started running while screaming at the top of their lungs.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Meteors started falling from the sky. The meteors, which were as large as a house instantly evaporated anything it came in touch with.
Men, women, children, even the animals weren't spared. Wherever the meteors landed nothing was left in its place.
Explosions occurred throughout the city, fire broke out, people trampled over one another in a mad dash for safety. It was utter chaos.
Azgalor, who was now pale from casting grand scale magic, slumped down. He glanced at where Aisha lay, protected by the barrier he formed, sleeping peacefully.
This was the least he could do for her. He couldn't allow her witness the destruction of the city she grew up in.
Azgalor reached into her clothes and brought out a tattered book.
He stood up, left the temple and soon joined the chaotic situation. In a matter of seconds, he had disappeared.
***
Aisha woke up to a ringing sound in her ear. She stretched her body lazily before getting up. Her memory was still fuzzy.
Her stomach grumbled, reminding her that it was time to break her fast. She opened the door and was greeted with a gory sight.
Everywhere in the temple was destroyed. There were dead bodies everywhere, some with missing limbs.
Aisha stumbled but forced herself to stay standing. She walked towards the exit, each of her steps laden with pain as she recognized some of the littered corpses on the floor.
"Priest Valed." She muttered at the sight of a headless corpse, his body crushed by the debris. She wouldn't have recognized him if it weren't for the scar on his right arm.
"Bishop Salak, Deacon Rahad, Priestess Sahim." Tears fell from her eyes as she recognized the littered bodies on the ground. Even the children in the temple's orphanage weren't spared.
Suddenly it all came crashing down, Azgalor's appearance, the kiss and her losing consciousness. She reached her hands into her garments and found out that the book she always carried with her was gone.
It was all her fault. She should have given him the book when he asked. It was her fault he destroyed everything.
Aisha cried, until all the sorrow was gone and all that remained was anger. She swore that she was going to make him pay for this.
Because of him, the city of Rakades was no more.
***
Azgalor appeared at the top of a cliff. The cliff overlooked the city of Rakades, which was now bathed in flames.
On top of the cliff was a middle aged man. He was dressed in the same priestly outfit like Azgalor; the only difference being the six stars displayed on his chest. He watched the sight below him with an expressionless face.
"Did you bring it?" The man asked in a voice which sounded like he was looking down on Azgalor.
"Yes." Azgalor answered in a respectful tone, handing over the tattered book to the man's outstretched hands. The man observed the book and nodded in satisfaction.
Azgalor was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the man asked in a tone colder than ice.
"Why didn't you kill her?"
Azgalor gulped, before replying in a low tone.
"It was unnecessary."
For the first time since Azgalor appeared, the man turned to look at him. His purple eyes seemed as if they pierced his soul, causing Azgalor to break out in a cold sweat.
"Are you to decide what is necessary and unnecessary?" The man asked, still maintaining his stoic expression. "Your job is to follow my orders, not decide for me."
He turned, and without warning Azgalor's right arm detached from his body cleanly. Azgalor twitched, his face contorting in pain.
He was an Arch Mage; an existence halfway into the demi-god level, and yet he couldn't respond to the man's movements at all.
"Let this be a warning. Don't ever question my orders again." He took one last look at the city below him.
"Let's go. I'm in a good mood today." The man said before walking down the cliff.
Azgalor picked up his detached arm, glanced at the burning city of Rakades before walking down the cliff.
In a matter of minutes, they both disappeared from sight.

"I mentioned earlier that everyone would not learn how to use mana sadly." Mr. Luis said as he looked at everyone present."The first step is Meditation." He said while glancing at everyone present."You all remember your awakening test don't you? You were asked to try and feel mana. During the tests, the orbs used are guided mana stones. They aid your ability to use mana; but to cast mana you will need to do it without aid."Mr. Luis cast his magic and a magic circle appeared. The magic circle was formed slowly this time and 14 symbols appeared before the circle formed."This is a basic magic circle. It has 14 symbols and each symbol must be supplied with mana consecutively before the spell is cast. You will learn how to draw this magic circle before you can cast a basic spell.""Everyone here has a mana circuit and a mana pool. The mana circuits are like wires which we conduct mana with. They draw mana from your mana pool and supply it to the magic circle to cast a spell.""The mana

Her uniform still followed the outline but the colors were different.Her inner shirt which hugged her chest perfectly was white in color. Her jacket was a deep navy blue and her skirt, which was a bit short, was the same color as her jacket. Her spectacular long legs were also covered with knee high socks.The uniform which brought out her stunning figure and her extremely pretty face served as an incentive to various boys.Her mind was currently occupied with two things so she could care less about the boys who she felt worried too much about outward appearances.The fi

Her room was filled with luxurious decorations, her wardrobe was packed with costly clothes, designers shoes sat on the shoe racks, and her bed was queen sized.Ayleen snarled in anger when the 3rd symbol didn't light up and the magic circle dissolved. Her attractive face twisted into a grimace. She had lost track of how many times she had failed.Today was the last day for the assignment, and she was still stuck at the 3rd symbol. The assignment was simply too hard. It was so hard that it was nearly impossible to complete.She looked at the clock in her bedroom. 9:47 am.

"You've completed the assignment I gave you? In one week?" Mr. Luis asked again, his voice laced with disbelief.Lukas looked at his teacher with a doubtful expression on his face. Wasn't the assignment supposed to be completed in a week? Why did he still doubt him?Lukas looked at his fellow classmates and saw them looking at him with wide eyes. He felt uncomfortable from their gazes, as they were all looking at him like he was an alien.Ayleen in particular was staring at him with a more intense gaze than anyone present. Despite her stoic face, her mind was reeling with bewilderment. She couldn't believe her ears.How did he complete the magic circle?! It was nigh impossible for her to do so. The difficulty of the task was off the charts! So how did he?! Was he really human?!Mr. Luis was the first to recover from the shock. He adjusted his monocle, a deep-rooted habit of his."Well, since you said you have completed the task, you don't mind casting a basic magic circle now right?"
The Chronicles of a Mage God Deviant Element
Lukas looked at Mr. Luis for a few seconds, his mind failing to register the words he just heard.A deviant element? I awakened a deviant element? And the element is mercury?Lukas looked at the fading magic circle in disbelief. After a few seconds, the disbelief turned into irritation.What is this? This wasn't what I wanted to awaken! I wanted the violent fire! Or the cool wind! The solid earth was a good choice too, and water didn't seem too bad either.But why this? I don't know a thing about this element! It's not even common among the known deviant elements!Mr. Luis noticed Lukas look of irritation and laughed quietly. That was the normal expression one had when faced with something they knew little about. Once he climbed the ranks he would know how important his element was.Mr. Luis coughed and everyone directed their attention to him. They had gone through a series of shocking episodes in the last 2 hours. This was probably the most shocked they had ever been in their lives.

Chief Keef's Strength
Ciel was still shocked at the identity of the masked hunter. Although she had some suspicions, there were merely suspicions. What were the odds of the masked hunter that was her teammate being Lukas himself?From what she could tell, she could see that Lukas was very experienced as a hunter, even more experienced than her. She easily deduced that Lukas had thoughts along the same line as her after the traumatic experience at the Zivel forests, and decided to increase his strength by becoming a hunter.However, she did not account for the speed at which he grew. By some coincidence, they even managed to join the same guild, and were assigned to the same team, which was the only reason she was able to deduce his identity. With tumultous emotions raging wildly in her heart, she joined the village guards and started to help evacuate the helpless villagers while fighting against the saber toothed tigers, taking a passive stance in the heated battle.Lukas who had no idea that his identity

Saber-toothed Tigers
A surprised expression immediately appeared on Chief Keef's face, and the powerful aura that he had kept hidden suddenly skyrocketed. Without even sparing the three guests in his small hut a glance, he exited the hut in a haste. Amanda glanced at Lukas and Ciel briefly before exiting the small hut, leaving both Lukas and Ciel no other choice than to do so. When Lukas and Ciel appeared outside the small hut, the scene before them was one that they did not expect at all. Several huge monsters could be seen charging at the weak villagers. These monsters were incredibly huge, easily towering the villagers at more than 3 meters tall. They bore an uncanny resemblance to the tigers on earth, with few differences. The teeth of these monsters were incredibly sharp, cutting through the weak defenses of the villagers like tofu, and the four front canines were shaped like sabers, hence their name saber toothed tigers. At a single glance they could see more than fifty saber toothed tigers; an

“What do you think you’re doing in my village?”Amanda swung her wand when she heard the voice, pausing the terrified villager’s fall. The villager had his heart in his mouth at that moment, as his face inches away from the ground. If the voice hadn’t interrupted Amanda from her actions, he had no doubt that he would have been face planted on the hard ground and turned into mashed paste.Lukas and Ciel were both shocked and curious that someone was capable of making Amanda cease her actions. They had no doubt in their minds that the villager was a goner when he mocked Amanda’s outfit. They were instead worried about how they would explain the injury of the villager to the Hunter Association when they submitted their quest report for clearing.Amanda slowly turned around to face the owner of the voice. There was shock in her eyes as she gazed at the chief. She was a silver ranked hunter and a Great Mage, which spoke volumes for her physical strength, but she was unable to sense the chi

The journey to Gien village was a smooth one, albeit a long one. It took seven hours for them to get to their destination, one hour longer than the usual time needed. Throughout the duration of the journey, both Lukas and Ciel maintained complete silence. Lukas instead spent the whole time looking outside the window of the van. He found himself missing Eipi all of a sudden. At least, the journey would not have been this boring.When they arrived at Gien village, the van dropped the three of them off before driving off speedily.Lukas and Ciel looked around the village as soon as they alighted from the van. As the name suggested, Gien village was truly a village. At a single glance both Lukas and Ciel could tell that it was very underdeveloped.The van had dropped them at Gien village, but they still had to walk a short distance before they got to the gate to the village.As the trio walked towards the gate, they ran their eyes around their surroundings.

The night passed quickly with Lukas following his daily routines which were his usual meditation and exercises.The next morning Lukas woke up early as usual. Amanda had informed them to arrive on time to the Guild building so that they could leave early and get to Gien village on time.Lukas dressed up in his usual hunting outfit, which were his stylish combat clothes, his jacket and most importantly his mask, before exiting the dorm.The dorm was still empty as usual, as the backlash from the attack had yet to die down. Lukas however wasn’t bothered about that. He would use this period to increase his personal strength. That had always been his goal.He took the cab as usual and got to the Guild building early. The meeting room was empty meaning that he was the first to arrive.Only a few minutes passed before the door to the room opened and a beautiful lady with blue hair stepped inside the room.It was of course Ciel. She was also dressed in her combat suit, which was blue in colo

“Denied.” Amanda said authoritatively, twirling her wand as she spoke.Ciel let out a light groan when she heard Amanda’s response. This was the fourth quest she had suggested to Amanda but she had denied it just like the other three she submitted to Amanda.Lukas stood up and handed over a document to Amanda. He didn’t read it this time because Amanda told them not to read out loud anymore. Their voices were sickening and would give her endless nightmares according to her.“Denied.” Amanda said again, still twirling her wand as she spoke.Lukas didn’t groan like Ciel. Instead he just turned and went back to searching for a new quest. After having his quests rejected eight times, twice that of Ciel, he gave up on complaining about the rejection. The time he used to complain was better spent on searching for new quests. He had learned from numerous rejections that his complaints meant nothing to Amanda.And just like that, two hours of their time were spent searching for new quests. Af

Choosing a Quest (I)
The reason for their shock was obvious and understandable. At their level as Basic Mages the feat that their team leader performed was completely shocking to them. Casting a magic spell without the use of a magic circle was something they couldn’t comprehend.They had been taught that it was impossible to cast a magic spell without a medium which was why magic circles were required for casting spells so seeing Amanda cast a magic spell without a magic circle was utterly shocking to them.Amanda paid them no heed. She could clearly see their confused gazes and shock at her method of casting magic but made no plans to explain it to them. Not only was it stressful to do so there was absolutely no need for her to do so. She saw no reason to explain the mystery to them.“These documents contain several quests issued by the Hunter Association. Completing the quests will give us contribution points which in turn can be used to level you both to the silver rank.”Lukas and Ciel leaned forward

A beautiful lady with light blue hair and very curvy body walked in. She was dressed in a fitting hunter’s outfit and at a single glance Lukas could tell that her outfit was enchanted.Her blue eyes that were just as beautiful as her hair scanned the room and came to rest on Lukas. However, her incredibly beautiful face scrunched up into a light frown of confusion when she saw Lukas.For one, Lukas face was as usual covered up with a mask, so she was unable to see his face. His silver hair was now long enough to be packed in a small ponytail, which was what he did.She looked at him for a few seconds before removing her gaze. Hunters were eccentric people anyways. It wasn’t abnormal to see someone wearing a mask.Meanwhile, Lukas was extremely glad that he had decided to wear a mask. The lady wasn’t able to recognize him because of the mask, but he was able to recognize her the instant she walked in.She was none other his senior at Aegis Imperial High School who followed them to the

New Rules
The new rule passed by the Chairman of the Hunter Alliance created a buzz among the Hunters. As expected, the hunters and Guilds were not welcoming of such rule. They had reported to the Hunter Alliance in hopes of them providing a reasonable solution, but instead all they got was a ban telling bronze ranked hunters not to participate in dungeon runs. Of course they were several bronze ranked hunters or Guilds who disregarded this rule and went ahead on dungeon runs. However their ending was far from ideal. The bronze ranked hunters all had their hunter’s license revoked permanently while the Guilds involved were given a 12 month ban on participating in dungeon runs. A 12 month ban was similar to crippling the Guild’s flow of profit because they couldn’t rely on expeditions alone, needless to say that dungeon runs were twice as profitable as expedition. When several hunters heard the harsh punishment passed on the hunters and Guilds that violated the rule, several bronze ranked hunt
