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."

    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!

    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'?

  • The Delivery.

    Eventually, the night dragged on as the mages of the Gordons Clan who hadn’t joined the earlier battle busied themselves, moving wine and supplies in preparation for the celebration ahead.It was tradition in the Gordons Clan that whenever a mage advanced to a new realm, they were to celebrate the breakthrough with loved ones and officially register their new realm at the Clan Hall the following morning. This helped the Elders and the Patriarch track the steady rise in the clan’s strength, but tonight was anything but ordinary, over nine hundred mages had broken through whether it was to a new realm or a small breakthrough in the same realm all would be celebrated tonight as all logistic duties like recording the new realms was pushed to the next day. Some from the main bloodline, others from mixed bloodlines, and even a few enforcers the clan had taken in over the years. Yet, none of that mattered tonight, the entire clan was uniting in a single celebration, preparing to honour

  • Changes 2.

    Alec scrolled all the way to the top of his notifications, finally spotting the first issue he knew he needed to deal with.He quickly realized that just like his earth element, his fire element had also advanced to the second stage of Manipulation, meaning he was now to possess two variant flame abilities, and it wasn’t just that it had advanced; there were already two distinct powers present, which left him slightly confused.He could easily understand where the Magma Control had come from, considering it was like a natural progression of his red flames, and honestly, Alec would be lying if he said he didn’t like it, he knew Magma was an extremely destructive flame type, one many considered beyond the limits of ordinary fire powers. As far as he was concerned, it was a seriously cool ability to have, and he was already hoping he’d get the hang of it sooner rather than later.But what unsettled him a little, though, was the second variant that came with his fire element: something

  • Big Three Appearance.

    About three middle-aged men in black attire shuffled through the carefully planted vegetation near Alec’s house, but the moment they stepped into the courtyard, they froze, seated calmly on the deck of Alec’s home was the Fifth Elder of the Gordons clan, patiently waiting for them.“Ohhh, one, two… ahh, some big numbers,” the Fifth Elder mused lazily, as his gaze sharp as it fell on them. “Now tell me, what are three unknown Tier 7 mages doing in the young master’s courtyard at this hour?”“It’s just a fat elder of the Gordons,” the mage in front sneered, noting the flicker of unease in his companions’ eyes. “He’s not on the list of elders we need to be cautious of, let’s take him out quietly.”None of them had expected to run into anyone here after infiltrating the Gordons estate, but since they had, retreat wasn’t an option, they’d already been paid to eliminate Alec, and abandoning the mission now wasn’t something any of them was willing to risk.To the mage in the middle, kil

    The pain Alec was feeling refused to subside, stirring genuine concern within him, the pain of breaking through wasn’t meant to be this consistent, nor was it supposed to linger for so long. After all, this wasn’t his first time undergoing a breakthrough, it was meant to be more of a refreshing feeling and if there was one thing Alec understood, it was the clear signs when something wasn’t right. At this point, he was certain the pain wasn’t coming from his overflowing mana battering his muscles and flesh as it forced his physique to evolve.Without wasting another moment, Alec swiftly delved into his inner self, stepping into his microcosmic universe, the instant he arrived, the source of his problem became clear, at the very center of his microcosmic world was a small, radiant ball of light, steadily devouring specks of surrounding light that drifted near it. Orbiting around it were the three powers Alec had awakened, revolving like their own unique stars, though even among th

    It took a mere thirty minutes, but the three golems completed their evolution into the Tier 6 realm, finalizing Alec’s main squad of golems as fully Tier 6 realm experts.Just the thought of fighting in the Blood Moon battle again filled him with anticipation; as he felt this time, he would not only have a bigger impact but could also potentially end the Mid Tier battle faster and transition to the High Rank battlefield to provide support with ease.Alec took a moment to admire his newly evolved golems, Hunter hadn’t changed much, except for the fact that the edges of his iron armour were now glowing with a blue hue, resembling some kind of LED lights. In a peculiar way, Hunter emanated an even more dangerous aura, while the ten iron golems beside him resembled smaller versions of Hunter, with the exception of the left-hooked hand, as they mostly welded broad swords and had a long iron chain strapped to their waist.As for Magnito, Alec was at a loss for what to call him, perched on

  • New Quasi Lords 4.

    With all that in mind, Alec moved toward the second branch, placing his hand against it, this one held a single, massive pod — housing the corpse of a Tier 7 mutated zombie.Because the branch was still at Level 2, it could only comfortably refine mid-rank lifeforms, anything beyond that would strain the branch’s capacity, trigger penalties, and limit it to refining a single corpse at a time. That was the only reason one body occupied a branch meant to hold twenty.[> Pay 100,000 System Points to harvest plant (Y/N) ]Alec, who had been bracing for an increase of at least another ten thousand points, blinked in surprise when the fee landed squarely at a hundred thousand, the thought of how much he was spending now made it feel like a headache was creeping into his skull, though in truth, he was fine. He just wasn’t used to parting with such a large number of System Points so casually.Despite the risk of overburdening the branch, Alec had made this decision for one simple reason,

  • Undead Purge Pill

    In the next split second, Alec found himself in the amulet space, which seemed on the verge of breaking through to another stage now that he had reached the peak of the Tier 5 Mage Realm, he could sense it, the interior of the amulet world was pulsating with energy, eager to expand. Since it was connected to him, every time he advanced to a new realm, the amulet world also underwent improvements, and the most noticeable being the increase in its spatial dimensions.However, these developments were not part of Alec’s current plan, so upon entering the amulet world, he immediately summoned all his main golems while cloaking himself in the Infernal Mantle set. Although Alec often arrived in the amulet world wearing nothing but pants, with his spirit equipment tattoos glowing around his body like a totem tattoo, but he still wasn’t entirely comfortable with this transformation. Consequently, he seized every opportunity to don the Infernal Mantle set for modesty, looking around, he re

    With the addition of these three breaking into the Tier 6 realm, Alec now had five of his main golems at that level, leaving only three still stuck at Peak Tier 5 realm.He then ordered them to summon their minion golems and quickly noticed something, Oni no longer needed dead bodies to summon his Oni Shinigami army.However, there was still a minor issue, while Oni could call on his existing Shinigami, he definitely still needed fresh corpses to create new ones, and at the moment, he only had five subordinates, remnants of the old group, the difference this time was that every single one of them had advanced to Low Tier 5, as their limits of Peak Tier 4 realm had shattered the moment their leader stepped into Tier 6 realm. Though they were still recognizable as the red and blue Oni Shinigami reapers, they now wore proper body armour, and their spirit weapons seem to have been significantly upgraded to match their new realm.As for Butcher, his Storm Knights were a legion of iron go
