It was another day at the Gordon's Clan compound, and my name is Alec, I'll give you a quick explanation: I was reincarnated after a nasty motor accident while trying to save an old lady.
The gods granted me another chance by reincarnating me into another world about 14 years ago.Later, I discovered that I was the young master and the only remaining heir of the Gordon family, However, my bloodline actually comes from the prestigious Ancient Blaze Clan.Despite this, the Blaze Clan, one of the top families in the capital, never acknowledged me as part of their own, From what I heard, my father never officially married my mother, He was just a young master out for training who fell for my mother's beauty, used sweet words to win her over, and ended up impregnating her before returning to his family without informing her.When my mother discovered she was pregnant, it was too late as my father had already gone, She tried to reach out to him by sending messages to his family, but none of them ever replied.In desperation, she traveled to the capital herself to personally deliver the message, only to be humiliated and rejected by the man she claimed to love.Heartbroken, she returned to the Gordon family feeling dejected, Thankfully, my loving grandfather, the Patriarch of the Gordon family, took care of me after my mother died during childbirth.Since then, I have been raised by my grandfather in a small city near the capital, Our relationship feels more like brothers than a traditional grandfather and grandson bond, I truly appreciate the immense love he shows me."Alec, how are you doing today?" an aged voice asked from the courtyard door. I already knew who it was, but I turned around to face him while smirking."You know I'm good, old man. I won't die before you, after all," I replied playfully."You! Forget it, you seem to be getting really cheeky these days, little boy," the old man initially retorted and pointed his finger at me.However, he soon sighed in relief and burst into laughter, We engaged in conversation and shared stories, appearing more like brothers than a grandfather and grandchild duo.Anyone who saw us would never guess our true relationship The love my grandfather had for me is immense, After my mother passed away, he did everything in his power to raise me right, and I am eternally grateful for his care and affection.But I could tell by the way he grabbed my shoulders and sighed that he was about to embark on one of his important speeches again."You do know you're about to turn fifteen, right?" he asked, his eyes filled with seriousness."Yes, old man," I replied, already aware of what he was about to say, In this world, once you turn fifteen, you awaken to your magical abilities and can finally be called a mage."You do know what comes next, right?" he continued, looking into my eyes. I nodded in response."I do," I replied confidently, excited for what lay ahead."Hmmm, after you awaken, come meet me. I have something important to pass on to you," he said, his tone full of anticipation."Ohhh, what is it?" I asked eagerly, my eyes shining with curiosity."Now, if I told you that, it would spoil the surprise, wouldn't it?" he teased, a mischievous twinkle in his eye.He wanted me to be even more curious and beg for the answer, and I couldn't help but give in."Just a hint, please?" I pleaded, my excitement growing."Well, let's just say it's the one thing that has enabled the Gordon family to survive during the blood moons and establish a reputation for themselves, even if it's just at the bottom," he started, his chest puffing up with pride.The Gordon family, known for their alchemy creations and reliance on golems, were often seen as weak by other mage families."But I can't believe you're embarrassed about it. The golem manual is unique and has served us well, I have no doubt you can revitalize the glory days when golems were revered," I interrupted, trying to reassure him.It was common knowledge that the Gordon family's survival during the blood moons, when demons and undead attacked settlements, was an extraordinary feat.Despite being underestimated, the family's ability to protect themselves and survive the blood moons was a testament to their strength. The blood moons occurred once every month, during which the 72 monarchs of the purgatory sent their generals and commanders to attack the surface, unleashing hordes of demons and undead upon the world.My grandfather chuckled, clearly relieved by my words."I can't believe you're feeling embarrassed about this. Is it because you think I would follow the same path as the others in our family and study a different form of magic?" I inquired."Ye... ye..yes... I'm pretty nervous. The golem manual is not being practiced like before, and I don't want it to disappear while I'm in possession of it. You're a smart boy, and I'm sure you can bring back the glorious days when golems were worshipped," he began his pointless boasting."Enough with your bragging, old man," I interrupted, pouring cold water on his ego."Don't worry, I'll definitely come for it. After all, it's my inheritance. If I don't claim it, I might not receive any property from you when you're gone," I teased him once again."You brat! You're finished! Just wait for me!" he shouted, running around the courtyard in an attempt to catch me. I smiled, knowing all of this was just a charade. He was concerned about the upcoming wave of the red moon, trying to prepare me to acquire strength so that I could survive in this merciless world."Finally, it is the day of Awakening again for the Gordon clan, Once every year, children who are 15 years old and above are allowed to use the Orb of Awakening to awaken their magic powers.Only after the awakening the mana joints in the body can they connect with the help of the Orb of Awakening, enabling anyone to dream of becoming a mage.Luckily for Alec , he just turned 15 a few days ago, right before the Gordon family Awakening day, If he had turned 15 after, he would have had to wait another year before being able to awaken the mana joints in his body.Very soon, noise was suddenly heard from the front of the crowd,The commotion was so intense that even Alec, who was hiding in one corner, could not help but notice it. He looked over and saw his grandfather, the Gordon family patriarch, and his brother, the grand elder of the Gordon family, coming down from where they sat in the high seat. The look of excitement and surprise was evident on their faces as they made their way to
The moment he was called, Alec walked up to the platform where the Orb of Awakening was placed and looked straight at the orb. But the more he looked, the more he felt lost as he was mesmerized by the dazzling sight of the orb."Place your hand on the orb and concentrate on it, The orb will do the rest," the instructor standing there said.Alec followed the instructor's instructions and placed his hands on the Orb of Awakening. Before he knew it, he felt a cool flow of energy entering his body through his palm, It was at that moment he knew the awakening had begun. The energy spread to every spot, joint, and place in his body, cleansing him, He even felt a great desire to moan in satisfaction but managed to mumble out a groan instead.The effect of the energy made him feel as if he had used an elixir to cleanse all the impurities his body had accumulated over the years, The energy then traveled back to his palm and passed back into the Orb of Awakening.Immediately, the flow of energ
Alec's Pov:"Show off," I said to the old man the moment the Golem put me down from his arms."Whatever," he replied, not wanting to be outdone by his grandkids, It was clear that he wasn't the least bit ashamed of the display he had put on at the Awakening Hall, the summoning of the Golem was just to show off."Well, you certainly surprised me, I never expected you to have a dual element, let alone both with such High affinities," he added."Is that supposed to be a big deal?" I asked."Well, in High Tier Clan, not really, but in a Mid-Tier Clans like ours, it definitely gives you the right to solidify your position as the young master of the Gordon family. From now on, they will all follow you, In this world, which seems to be losing it's heavenly laws, we are better off united than apart," my grandfather explained."I'm glad if it helps change their opinion of me, I was starting to think they hated me," I admitted."Nonsense! Well, aside from that, let bygones be bygones, after tod

When Alec returned home, he settled himself into a meditative position, his eagerness palpable as he prepared to test the mana circulation technique he had just learned. The Grand Elder had emphasized the importance of accumulating mana quickly, as it would expedite their promotion to becoming tier 1 mages.[ spiral force – basic mana circulation activated lv1 ][ mini hole – basic mana circulation activated lv1 ]As Alec began utilizing the mana circulation techniques, he noticed two distinct colors swirling towards him. Curiosity getting the best of him, he couldn't resist reaching out and extending his hand towards the colors, The moment his hand made contact with the vibrant hues, a refreshing sensation washed over him.[ mana increased by 1 ][Exp increased by 1 ]A smile blossomed on Alex's face as he realized he was on the right path. However, the realization that he still had to accumulate 99 more experiences before reaching level 1 reminded him that he had only just begun hi
The next day, Alec woke up feeling incredibly refreshed, more than he had ever felt before.As he looked down, he was surprised to see himself still in a meditative position, He must have fallen asleep while practicing his double mana circulation techniques, and it seemed to have a positive effect on him.Stretching his body and letting out a big yawn, he noticed that the golem he had created the day before was still standing in a defensive position, ready to protect him from any potential danger.Alec admired the intelligence of his newly crafted golem, impressed by its ability to stay vigilant even without his command.With a nod of approval, he stood up and began making his way towards the Gordon family training ground.He had heard that all the younger generations of the family were going to be taught basic combat techniques, regardless of their interest in the Mage path they decided to follow.The Gordon clan believed in giving everyone a chance to protect themselves, especially w
After dismissing the other kids to continue their training, only Arthur remained by Alec's side. Curiously, Arthur asked, "So, what's this behemoth's name?" hoping for a cool and impressive answer.However, he could practically see question marks hovering over Alec's head, indicating his lack of a name for the golem.Arthur couldn't help but express his disbelief, saying, "Wait, don't tell me you haven't named this incredible golem yet, It's obvious that it holds a special significance since it's your very first one."Alec admitted with a sheepish smile, "Oh, I never really thought that far ahead." As he stared at the towering golem, he pondered what to call it.Suddenly, with a bright look on his face, Alec turned to Arthur and exclaimed, "What about 'fatty'?"Arthur's expression clearly reflected his confusion as if to say, "What on earth is wrong with your sense of naming?"Trying to offer an alternative, Arthur suggested,"How about 'Titan'? It perfectly suits its size and si
Two weeks had passed since Alec's grandfather discovered his mage abilities, He was now hailed as the prodigy of the Gordon family, surpassing the other dual element kids who had taken a whole week to reach Tier 1 mage status. The younger generation of the family was showing promise, with numerous young mages emerging.While some of the new mages grew complacent, taking a break from their training, Alec remained diligent. Not a single day went by where he did not dedicate himself to his combat training during the day and honing his golem-making skills at night. To acknowledge his achievements, his grandfather bestowed upon him a space pouch as a gift, though Alec suspected it was just another indulgence from the old man.Alec's hard work and dedication during training paid off handsomely, His basic combat skills soared to level five, a remarkable accomplishment in such a short span of time.[Basic combat skills -lvl 5( 45/500)]He also improved his golem creation skill and was now a
