2022-09-08 21:24:45When 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 his journey.He assumed that once he reached the next level, he would become a lower-tier Mage, The colors of the lights moving toward him were classified in his mind as the elemental energies he had an affinity for, as they were both red and brown in color which represents both fire and earth.Remaining in the meditative position, Alec continued to cultivate the Mana circulation technique, eagerly hoping to break through to the next level and see what would happen.If the younger generation of the Gordon's family were to hear that Alec was attempting to achieve a breakthrough in just one night, they would undoubtedly be surprised, Becoming a (Iow) Tier 1 mage in one day after coming in contact with mana was no easy feat.However, Alec was unfazed by all of this, He gradually noticed that the amount of mana he was accumulating per minute was steadily increasing, even if he wasn't fully aware of it.The power of the two basic mana techniques working together was beginning to showcase its true strength.[ Ding gain 100 exp ][ leveled up to level 2 ]Alec eagerly opened his status tab, eager to compare his new stats to what they were before.[ Status Tab]Name: Alec Gordons"Race: Human"Level: 1"Tier: 1 [Low]■ Exp till next level : 0.00%/200[ Attributes ]Strength: 7+Agility: 6+Endurance: 5+Mana: 100+Affinity: Earth (high)+, Fire(high)+available points : 7 ( bonus )System points: 0He noticed that, aside from his abnormal Mana stats due to cultivating with two techniques, all of his attributes had been significantly increased.His stats had increased by 5 attribute points, and he was also given a 2 point bonus to allocate himself, After careful consideration, he decided to invest 2 points in strength, 2 points in agility, and the remaining 3 points into Endurance.He wasn't particularly interested in using the points to boost his Mana stats; he could achieve that by successfully cultivating the mana circulation techniques he had received from his clan , After allocating the points, his new status looked like this[ Status Tab]Name: Alec GordonsRace: HumanLevel: 1Tier: 1 [low ]■ Exp till next level : 0.00%/200[ Attributes ]Strength: 9 (+2)Agility: 8 (+2)Endurance: 8 (+3)Mana: 100+Affinity: Earth (high)+, Fire(high)+Available points : 0 ( bonus )System points: 0He could feel an incredible surge of strength pulsing through his body, a sensation he had never experienced before.The sheer power coursing through his veins left him feeling invincible, as if he could effortlessly shatter a stone with his bare hands.Deep down, he couldn't help but wonder what he could have accomplished if he had possessed such strength in his previous world.Perhaps he could have become a superhero, even if his abilities didn't quite reach the level of Superman, With his newfound power, dealing with robbers would be a piece of cake.With the knowledge that the system had truly enhanced his physical capabilities, he decided it was time to create his first golem.Having reached the Tier 1 mage realm, he knew he finally had enough mana to sustain the golem's mana consumption, just like his grandfather had advised.He eagerly turned to the ancient book of techniques, passed down through generations in the Gordon family, As he delved into the text, he quickly absorbed the ideas and concepts behind crafting a basic golem.After around ten minutes of dedicated reading, he knew exactly what he wanted to create, Channeling his mana in accordance with the book's instructions, he began the process of shaping his first golem, connecting his mana with the Earth elements present in the air and guiding them downward.It was like witnessing magic in action as the elements responded, the ground itself began to react and several clumps of clay started rising, gradually forming the golem.At first, it appeared small, almost resembling a puppy, but Alec persisted, infusing more mana to gradually increase its height and strength.Even when it reached the stature of a regular human, he didn't stop. He realized that it still had the potential to absorb more mana, so he continued to shape the golem, making it more robust and muscular, just as he had envisioned.Without hesitation, he poured all his remaining mana into perfecting his creation. As he stepped back to admire his handiwork, he couldn't help but feel proud.The golem already resembled a miniature giant, its imposing figure reminiscent of Japanese sumo fighters, However, it stood taller than any of them.He kept sensing that something was missing, a gut feeling that nagged at him until it finally clicked in his head."Haha, why not give it a weapon or something? It looks so perfect now, but wouldn't it be nice to have it as a brawler with its big body? I'm sure it would have a slightly slower speed," he chuckled to himself.The idea of his magnificent golem wielding a weapon filled him with excitement, So he decided to use his remaining mana to craft a weapon that would seamlessly integrate with the golem's body.He wanted to create a weapon that would become a permanent part of the golem, He started by crafting a large shield to be placed on the golem's left hand.It was challenging at first, but he persevered and poured more mana into the creation of the shield, Gradually, it began to take shape and fit naturally onto the golem's left arm, much to Alec's delight.Encouraged by his progress, he envisioned giving the golem an attacking weapon for its right hand.He pictured a mace with numerous spikes, and to his surprise, it proved to be a much easier task than crafting the shield, In no time, the mace was complete.Exhausted from the crafting process, Alec collapsed onto his bed. As he looked at the system, he noticed a new notification, further adding to his anticipation.[congrats on learning skill ][Golem creation (Legendary)] - There is no limit to how many you can make, only your mana determines your limit.A puzzled expression crossed his face as he muttered to himself"What a weird explanation."Realizing that he had exhausted all the mana he had just accumulated, which was already abnormal for a regular Tier 1 mage attempting to create a golem, he became even more certain that his golem was special, He decided to consult his system to assess its strength.Recalling the introduction in the golem technique book he had acquired, he knew that even ordinary golems typically required only 10 mana to bring them to life.[ Earth Golem ]Level : 1 [ can be upgraded]Realm : Tier 1 (low)Rank : rareStrength : 15Agility : 6Endurance: 20[ A rare golem crafted with clumsiness but turned out to be a masterpiece one that has the potential to evolve ]Alec's eyes widened with surprise as he compared the stats of his creation to his own, The numbers indicated that this golem was far stronger than even advanced mages.Despite its drawback of being slow, the golem compensated with its large shield, ready to defend at any moment.Looking at his first golem, Alec couldn't help but smirk in satisfaction, It stood tall, bulky, and intimidating, with piercing red eyes, It was the perfect partner that Alec had envisioned in his mind.Seating himself in a meditative position, Alec focused on replenishing the mana he had used in creating his masterpiece.As he observed the golem taking a defensive stance in front of him, Alec couldn't help but feel a mix of surprise and confusion.He recalled that the golem had been classified as a rare rank, and in the golem techniques passed down by the patriarch of the Gordons family, it was mentioned that higher-ranked golems tended to possess greater intelligence.Some golems required no orders before protectively defending their Masters.In his recollection, golem ranks started from common to uncommon before reaching the rare rank.Realizing that he had just jumped two ranks to produce his first official golem left him shocked."I might just be a genius," he said to himself smugly, his confidence growing.

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'?

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

"Move to the south gate quickly," the Patriarch instructed as the clan members closed in on the central gate.The Gordons Clan members made a slight turn and hurried over, even Alec was surprised to see his grandfather waiting there for them.Up until now, Alec hadn't realized that he wasn't the one leading the charge when they left the family compound. But now, as he calmed down and thought about it, he realized that the old man must have been in a meeting with the City Lord and other powerful family leaders in the city, And It seems they must have agreed upon having the Gordon family protecting the weaker South gate.The Gordon family members arrived at the gate swiftly, climbing up and spreading around the walls to cover any gaps, ensuring that the zombies wouldn't exploit any openings.They allowed the younger generation of the Gordon family to stay behind, watching their backs as they fought off the zombies.The patriarch levitated in the air, observing, as some of the higher-r

After witnessing the impressive display of strength by Titan, he saw him move swiftly to retrieve his trusted weapon - a spiky mace that seemingly materialized from the very earth itself.It appeared to be far sturdier than any steel weapons employed by the Gordins family, indicating that Alec had taken great care in imbuing it with an abundance of mana during its creation.This, coupled with the equally formidable shield he had fashioned, made them the ultimate tools for warfare.It was no wonder the mace effortlessly decimated the zombie's head, Pleased with his handiwork, Alec nodded approvingly, his gaze fixed once again on the magnificent weapon.[ wrath spike mace ]Weapon lvl : 5( upgrade golem rank to upgrade)+9 strength+5 speed+1 enduranceA sudden realization dawned on him - he possessed the ability to enhance Titan's mace with his own mana.It was an extraordinary feat, one that seemed exclusive to him, as he had never witnessed anyone else perform such a task.If others

He immediately face-palmed himself for asking such an obvious question, After all, Titan was a golem who could wield anything Alec asked him to.To his surprise, Titan nodded in resp

[Basic spearmanship leveled up][Basic spearmanship lvl 3][Mace mastery learnt lvl 1]After seeing the series of messages on his screen, Alec felt a surge of happiness, and he saw Titan blasting the head of the Tier 1 zombie away. Finally, he understood how they could awaken their mastery of weapons, All it took was continuous usage of the weapon in battle, eventually leading to the awakening of the weapon mastery.In the case of Spearmanship, Alec attributed their quick progress to the fact that many golems were already using it. This gave them an advantage over Titan, who had previously used a different weapon, However, this didn't matter much since Titan had already learned the skill. As long as he continued using his mace, he would keep improving himself.Alec decided to test his theory, With a mana pool of around 40 points, he created two new spears and focused on improving their strength and agility. As he prepared to upgrade the level of the spears, Arthur approached him, a

Alec became so engrossed in the fight that he found himself edging closer to the front line, disregarding the protective barrier his golems had established. His countenance transformed into that of a battle-crazed warrior, although every strike he made was calculated and precise. As his spear skills grew more fluid with each use, Alec realized that relying on the system to upload the skills into his mind wasn't enough to become truly skilled—it required practice and experience."Ah, kill!" Alec shouted, charging towards the zombies with his spear instead of waiting for them to come within piercing range. Swinging, slashing, and even using the bottom of the spear to push back the encroaching undead, creating enough space to strike them down. Even Titan joined the massacre, as Agnes rallied the younger members of the clan to participate in the fight."We can't let Alec claim all the glory!, Let's all kill a few zombies!" Agnes said, aiming to bolster the morale of the younger gener

The moment Alec laid eyes on the mage who had arrived, he exhaled in relief, finally, someone familiar was here, and this humiliating ordeal was about to end.“We greet Sir Steven. This—” the five city guards greeted in unison, with the lead guard attempting to explain the situation, however, Steven simply raised his hand, cutting him off before he could say more.“You can all leave now. I’ll handle this from here,” Steven ordered, motioning for Alec and his group to follow him.“Welcome back home,” Steven said as they walked through the city hall’s huge compound, Alec and his companions trailing behind. With a city guardian escorting them, no other city guards dared to stop or challenge them until they reached the city hall gates.“Steven, I’ll admit it’s good to see you doing well, you’ve even managed to become a city guardian, that’s impressive but I still don’t understand why that guard treated me so poorly,” Alec said, narrowing his eyes at Steven.Out of curiosity, Alec attemp
Lil Trouble
Alec knew he needed to act quickly, the only reason he had agreed to help the academy with the pills in the first place was that he felt cornered by the situation, a pit he had unwittingly dug for himself. However, upon reflection, he realized that the deal wasn’t as bad as it initially seemed, in fact, he stood to gain more than the academy from the arrangement.Though Alec was still learning how things operated in this world, but he had quickly grasped the scarcity of resources that were easily accessible to him due to the amulet. It made him appreciate the value of his unique position, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude toward the Ancient Primordial Tree in his amulet space, if he could, he would have entered the space right then and kissed it for its endless blessings.While the academy would receive only pills, Alec would walk away with the larger share of the benefits: pills, random spell cards, memory orbs, and occasional healing pills. Initially, the memo
A Deal With The Academy.
Alec and the Dean made their way toward the highest peak in the mountains, this peak, is said to house only the old Dean and his loyal retainers, and It stood far above the others, offering an ethereal view as it was shrouded in clouds that seemed to guard its serenity.When they landed, Alec was surprised to see two figures already waiting there at the front yard for them.“Old man Alderic, what are you doing here?” Alec called out immediately, recognizing one of the few High Rank mages he truly respected, among the academy’s powerful figures, Alderic stood out as someone Alec felt gratitude toward. Before Alec and his group ventured into the Second Dimension for the first time, Alderic had offered invaluable advice and provided them with a map that revealed hidden truths about the dimension, knowledge they wouldn’t have gained by simply following an adventure group. That gesture had been instrumental in their survival during their first journey into the Abyss.“Hahaha... You’ve
Out Of Excuses.
“Why did you accept such terms? It’s clear we could have pushed the city hall into a corner, negotiated a better deal, and reduced the number of mages we have to send for such a gruesome battle, you know we can’t afford to lose so many of our mages in a meaningless war like this,” the Grand Elder said, his voice sharp as the ground beside him cracked open, revealing the patriarch emerging from below.“I understand your concerns,” the patriarch replied calmly, dusting off his robes, “but you must remember, we had already decided to offer our support, why exploit the situation unnecessarily? Besides, by participating, we gain proximity to the high rank mages present, that gives us an opportunity to discern which of them might truly be connected to the attack on the outer court.”“Oh, don’t misunderstand me, I have no intention of sending you into the frontlines of the Blood Moon War.” The Grand Elder interjected with a sly grin. The patriarch raised an eyebrow in surprise, prompting

Gordons’ Inner CompoundAs the city lord reached the gates of the inner yard, he was momentarily delayed before a mage from the Gordons clan arrived to escort him inside, the mage led him to an open room where the Grand Elder was already seated, with a sly smile on his face.“And here I was, thinking my old friend would be the one entertaining me, after years of him inviting me to his home, I finally decided to visit!” the city lord said with a teasing tone as he took the seat opposite the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder chuckled politely but replied with an edge, “To be honest, even you must realize that negotiating with me is far better than dealing with my brother directly.” His tone was courteous, yet the underlying warning was unmistakable, a reminder of where the city lord currently stood with the Gordons clan.The Grand Elder’s words drew a hearty laugh from the city lord, who quickly regained his composure and locked eyes with him. “You’re absolutely right, speaking with a

“Can I begin now?” Lucas asked, snapping Duran out of his trance, the instructor had been so focused on Alec that he forgot to start the trial.It wasn’t entirely Duran’s fault; after checking Lucas and confirming he was at the High Tier 5 Mage Realm, curiosity compelled him to use his Spirit Eyes to analyse Alec as well, however, what he discovered left him stunned, Alec had erected a circular mental shield around himself, preventing any external observation of his realm.This development was shocking to Duran, as such a feat was something even most low Tier 6 Mages struggled to achieve, Typically, mages only began cultivating their mental abilities upon entering Tier 6 Mage realm, using specialized facilities like the Mental Cultivation Building at the War God Mage Academy.Mental cultivation was notoriously slow and gruelling, requiring years of effort even with advanced resources, that is why mages of less privilege clans ended up needing years before they could enter the High ran

The moment Emma Gordon stepped onto the stage, she began rotating her small fists, and building momentum as her right fist became coated in a shimmering layer of Qi energy. Her exaggerated movements and energetic display caused Duran to shake his head slightly, he couldn’t help but feel she might fumble due to the excess energy she seemed to be wasting.“Begin!” he commanded.The instant the order was given, Emma’s fist shot forward with blinding speed, moving even faster than her brother’s earlier strike.Boom!Her small fist slammed into the testing stone, sending a loud, reverberating noise across the arena, the white light surged upward, quickly passing the three bars, breaking into the fourth, and finally stopping at the midpoint.“Mid Fourth Bar. Passed,” Duran announced, his voice steady despite his astonishment.The crowd of mages erupted into murmurs and whispers.“Another mid-fourth bar? The Gordons are completely dominating this test, how are the rest of us supposed to c
1st Test 4.
With so many mages rushing to the stage to get tested before, Alec had instructed his team to hold back, preferring to let others show off first, he didn’t want his team stepping up too soon.And after nearly an hour of testing and eliminations, the number of mages waiting to be tested had dwindled to a few hundred, at that moment, Alec decided it was time for his team to finally make their move.Among the remaining mages, there were three Tier 4 mages from high tier clans which had decided to stay behind at the academy and had seized this opportunity to showcase their prowess. They became the first to light up the fourth bar, drawing gasps of awe from the crowd.While Alec might seem like a straightforward person, those who truly knew him like Arthur and Brandon understood that beneath his composed exterior lay a cunning, often shameless strategist. Alec always sought control over any situation despite never admitting to it, and his penchant for dramatic flair had clearly rubbed
1st Test 3.
The student, determined to make the most of his remaining chances, decided to apply the lesson from his earlier failure, this time, he clenched his fists without channelling any mana. The crowd, particularly those who believed themselves to be on the same level as the mage, watched intently, as none of them wanted to miss even the slightest detail, hoping to glean some insight for his own attempts. “Ahhh!” The mage roared, his fist flying toward the towering black monolith, a louder, more resounding thud echoed as his punch connected. All eyes followed the white light rising up the center of the stone, it surged past the peak of the second bar, filling the third completely. The light moved steadily upward, reaching close to the peak of the third bar before faltering and settling just shy of it. “Third bar, high rank, not enough. You’ve got one last chance, don’t be a disappointment,” Instructor Duran said from the side, his words toeing the line between encouragement and mock
