2024-10-29 19:42:56Lukas woke up to the sound of his alarm ringing. He turned over and turned off the alarm before looking at the time on the clock. 7:20 am.
Lukas lay on his bed for a while before taking off his nightwear. He put on his bathrobe and entered the bathroom to take his bath.
He awakened as a Mage 2 days ago. Today was the day he was leaving the academy. He had been planning for this day since he entered the academy.
He studied intensely and took 1st place in every monthly exams held. He had accumulated a total of 3 gold from the exams as he spent his money sparingly. 3 gold was 30,000 coppers. It was a huge sum for him.
He had already packed all his clothes the yesterday. There wasn't much to pack though, just a couple of shirts, jeans and his shoes.
Lukas exited the shower and dried himself off. He wore a black shirt, black jeans and white sneakers before grabbing his backpack.
He took one last room at the dorm. It had been his home for the past 4 years. He felt grateful to the military for looking after him all these years. He felt sentimental as he took one last look at his room at his room before closing the door.
He walked down the staircase and went towards the exit. Before he could leave he heard his name.
"Lukas!"
Lukas turned and saw a middle aged man walking hurriedly towards him.
The man was very tall, well over 2 meters. He had jet black hair and deep blue eyes, with a bit of beard on his chin. He was dressed in a tank top, fully showcasing his well sculpted muscles and rock hard abdominal muscles.
"Mr. Drey." Lukas greeted as the man approached him. He was the one in charge of physical training in the academy. He showed no mercy to the kids during training, to the extent almost everyone hated him. Lukas wondered why he stopped him.
"From the backpack and the way you're dressed I take it you're not joining the military?"
"Yes sir. I'll be leaving today." Lukas replied.
"Why though?"
"Sir?"
"I mean why are you leaving the military?"
"Oh, no particular reason. I just feel that the military isn't the place for me."
Drey put his hands on his forehead before looking at Lukas.
"Look, the military is a great place for you. From what i heard you don't have any parents or relatives. The world outside is a scary place if you don't have any backer. With your smarts and talent it won't be long before you start making a name for yourself. When that time comes many powers will try to snuff you out. I feel like you should have an idea of what i'm talking about."
"You should stay in the military. We can be your backer. With the military behind you no one will dare touch you. You will also have access to a lot of resources. The journey before being you awakened is nothing compared to the one you will face. With us as your backer the road to become a Mage God will be smoother.
So, what do you think? It will be a waste for someone of your talent to rot outside. We're extending an olive branch to you now. Will you take it?" Drey asked.
Lukas kept quiet for a while as he contemplated the offer extended to him. So this was why Mr. Drey stopped him. He was here to recruit him.
Lukas would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted. He was very tempted. This was a one in a lifetime opportunity for people like him who had no one to rely on.
Lukas wasn't naive. He already had an idea of what happened outside. It was a strength based hierarchy. Strength was everything. Lukas knew that choosing the military would pave the way for him to get where he wanted to. Like Mr. Drey said, Resources was everything. He couldn't hope to become a Mage God without a steady supply of resources. There were so many factors in play that Lukas really wondered if he would actually be able to succeed on his own.
For a moment Lukas really considered choosing the military.
"Mr. Drey, I'm sorry but I cannot accept your offer."
Drey closed his eyes before opening them and looking at Lukas.
"Why?"
"Like I said sir, i don't think the military is the place for me."
"Okay. I understand."
Drey put his hand in his pockets before bringing out a gold note. He handed it to Lukas while saying
"Here. A gold note."
"Sir?" Lukas looked at the gold note in shock.
"Don't look at me like that kid, it's yours." Drey laughed.
"Thank you very much sir!" Lukas exclaimed, bowing his head until it almost touched the floor.
"You're welcome kid." Drey looked at Lukas for a moment before asking.
"Where are you going now kid?"
"Aegis Imperial High School sir."
"Oho that's quite an ambition you've got there! Well I think it'll be fairly easy for you to get in."
Drey ruffled Lukas hair before saying.
"It's quite sad you know. I was hoping you would join the military. We certainly need someone like you." He sighed before releasing his hands from Lukas hair. "Best of Luck kid. I know that whatever you set your mind to you can do it. I'll be cheering you on from here. Now, go on, let me not waste anymore of your time."
Lukas saluted before making his way out. He looked back at the imposing building of the military before sighing. He really wondered if he had made the right choice. He shook his head before making his way down the street.
He hailed a cab, opened the door and sat in the backseat.
"Destination?" the cab driver asked.
Lukas replied as he looked out the window.
"Aegis Imperial High School."
"That'll be 500 coppers."
"So expensive! Are you taking me around the planet?!" Lukas cursed at the cab driver.
"Young man our cab services is one of the best. You can ask around. We'll be there in a jiffy, while promising you a very smooth ride."
"Smooth ride my ass! 100 coppers! that's the best i can pay!"
"Young man we-"
"95 coppers."
"Customer-"
"90 coppers."
"Please fasten your seat belt sir."
"Much better."
Lukas relaxed as the cab sped, leaving the military grounds until the academy were nothing but a tiny dot in his eyes.
Soon he couldn't see the academy again. He closed his eyes, relishing in the morning breeze as the car sped past.
His next stop was the Aegis Imperial High School.

"Thank you for using our services. Here is my card, you can contact us-"Lukas slammed the door before the cab driver could finish advertising his services. Services my foot! Lukas swore never to use their services again. The reason was fairly simple. During the journey, he fell asleep and dozed off for about 2 hours.When he woke up he found out that he had barely moved from the spot he dozed off! As if that wasn't enough, the whole ride was very bumpy and uncomfortable. Lukas regretted not using the train. The train t-fare was 200 copper notes, so he didn't consider boarding one.Needless to say he now understood the ancient proverb 'Penny wise, pound foolish'. Exorbitant prices and bumpy rides, he wasn't using their services ever again!Lukas walked towards the entrance, following the signboards to navigate himself. Soon enough he found himself at the entrance. He didn't move forward again, his mouth gaping wide. The first thing that came to his mind was huge.There was a very hu

Noelle alighted from the cab, paid the cab driver before turning and heading towards the entrance.She could see a lot of people around her age along the way. Some were wishing their parents goodbyes, some were making phone calls, and some were looking around as if waiting for someone while some were heading towards the entrance like her.Noelle could feel a lot of attention on her as she walked, probably because of her looks. There were some boys who came to hit on her but soon left after seeing that she showed no interest in their advances.She walked unhurriedly, as the time for the test was still some hours away. She wondered if she would be able to pass the test.As she was lost in thought she felt someone tap her on the back. She thought it was another boy coming to try his luck again so she ignored it. She kept on walking before she felt another tap on her back. She still ignored it, thinking that if she did the person would lose interest and go away.When she felt the tap agai

The sound of the alarm woke Lukas up from his sleep. He turned over and checked the time on the clock. 7:30 am.Lukas groaned before getting up from the bed. He walked to bathroom and soaked for a while in the bathtub before sighing.The hot water had a therapeutic effect on him. After soaking in the bathtub, he took his bath before exiting the bathroom.Today was a good day for him so he decided to look better than ever. He styled his silver hair, put on a fancy pair of earrings he got for 2 coppers yesterday and he wore his clothes.He did all this while humming to the song blasting from the speakers.After checking himself in the mirror, he nodded in satisfaction at what he saw before heading out of the room.At the same time he opened the door, the door opposite his room opened too.Two pretty girls with blonde hair exited the room opposite his.The girls gasped at the sight of Lukas, as if they had seen a ghost. One of the girls had an ugly expression on her face as if she had ju

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 tur

It was a veteran empire that was well above average in strength.They had cemented themselves as a power not to be trifled with during an incident that occurred 10 years ago, where 4 catastrophe class beasts joined hands together to attack the empire.Everyone had thought that the empire would suffer heavy losses and might be wiped out; but to their shock not only did the empire repel the attack, slaying 2 catastrophe class beasts, they did so while suffering minimum casualties.Since that incident, everyone acknowledged the Hundred Flowers Empire as a superpower.That wasn't the only peculiar thing about the empire. Like the name suggested, there were a hundred cities in the empire. They were all named after flowers, with the smaller cities almost half the size of a kingdom while the larger ones were as big as a kingdom.

Everyone gasped at the mention of the name. The officers broke out in a cold sweat. Davis grimaced when he heard the name. He was right. They had underestimated the gravity of the issue.The Purple Pavilion was synonymous with devastation. Anywhere the Purple Pavilion appeared only destruction was left in their wake.They were a transcendental organization responsible for the destruction of various cities, kingdoms, and even empires.There was very little information about the transcendental organization, as every information known about them was extremely confidential."I believe everyone present is familiar with the name." General Yuklein stated, scanning the faces of everyone present."From the information given to us by the Magic Association, the Purple Pavilion is on the move. We don't know what their objective is yet but we have been told to be on standby. The next information I want to pass out now is extremely confidential, and once you've heard it there is no going back."Gen

Lukas woke up to the chime of his alarm clock. He turned over and shut down the alarm before getting up.7:12 am. That was the time displayed on the clock. He stood up and saw that his dorm mates were still sleeping peacefully.There were new additions to the room but they were all sleeping, so he couldn't hold a conversation with them.Lukas made his way to the bathroom, which was already occupied by several naked boys. This was nothing new to him, as he had to share the bathroom with his dorm mates while in the military. He took his spot and started washing his body.When he was done, he made his way back to his room and dried off his body. He brought out the uniform he purchased for 50 silver notes, admired it once again before putting it on. He styled his silver hair, which he decided to grow out for a while, before putting on a pair of black earrings. He grabbed his phone and wallet before leaving the dorm.He bought breakfast on the way to his class, while admiring the view in t

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

Gien Village (II)
“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.

Summons
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
