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

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

Seeing Alec join the High-Rank battle, the Fourth and Third Elders of the Gordons clan could no longer afford to be lax, they grew more serious, their instincts urging them to move closer to him, so if something were to happen or if the Mental-type zombie devised a plan to target Alec, they would be within reach to support him.However, the zombies they faced were no fools, they too have received orders from the Mental Type Zombie and they wouldn’t allow the Gordons clan elders to break away so easily. The Peak Tier 7, Agility-type zombie was no longer the one on the desperate side; now, it was the Fourth Elder struggling to break free from the fighting, as the tide of battle kept shifting, the desperation passes back and forth between them.On the Third Elder’s side, the two Agility-type zombies avoided direct confrontation, fully aware they were no match for his power.

Apologies for the miscalculation.—The Mental-Type Zombie stood at a distance, now guarded only by the Peak Tier 7 Hunter-Type Zombie, it was still reeling from the shock of Alec slaying a Tier 7 mutated zombie.But now that it considered Alec’s rapid growth, it no longer felt secure with just the Hunter-Type Zombie protecting it. Common sense dictated that Alec shouldn’t be able to kill a Peak Tier 7 Hunter-Type Zombie, one of the strongest combatants on the battlefield. Yet something kept tugging at the back of its mind, making it uneasy. Mental-Type Zombies were prone to paranoia when things didn’t go their way, and with Alec being the reason its tactical strategy was falling apart, its judgment was growing more erratic.It didn’t even send another

The two remaining zombies trembled as they stared at the mage before them, their instincts screamed at them to lunge forward, to sink their teeth into him, to obey the primal urge that drove all lower-level zombies toward the living.But unlike mindless undead, these two had evolved beyond mere hunger, at higher realms, certain zombies awakened consciousness and intelligence and with it, the fear of true death. Unlike their lower-tier counterparts, who threw themselves at prey without hesitation, these two understood that if they fell here, there would be no coming back, this was the difference between them and the normal undead skeletons that embrace with faith. Yet, hesitation would not save them, as Brandon had no intention of waiting.[> Mid-Tier Spell – Sand Prison <]Brandon’s fingers moved rapidly through a series of intricate hand signs, and the sand that had burst apart earlier from the sand cone spell now responded to his command, rising from the ground and wrapping aroun

Alec might have dashed into the air first, but he wasn’t alone, a split second later, Titan and Legion followed, quickly catching up to him.The streaks of flames, ice, and jet propulsion cutting through the sky toward the high-rank battlefield left many watching in shock, no one could quite grasp Alec’s intentions.Below, Alec’s Tier 5 golems, along with those from Titan and Legion squads, surged forward to reinforce the Gordons’ mid-rank mages, increasing their Tier 5 numbers by a staggering twenty-six, the realization that Alec alone could provide the equivalent of twenty-six top-tier 5 realm combatants was a wake-up call for the other forces observing him for the first time. They were witnessing first-hand the rise of a mage who would soon earn the title One-Man Army.“Master sent me to deliver a message, he says you don’t have to hold back anymore, the battle is nearing its end, now is the time to unleash chaos.” Oni whispered stealthily beside Brandon.

Alec already knew what he wanted, he had been saving up every available point he could get, never once bothering to use them, as he was waiting for the right moment, the moment he could push one of his three main stats past the 300 mark. Now, with enough points at his disposal, he had made his choice, and that was agility.“I already know what we’ll do! You all will reinforce the Tier 5 army of the Gordons clan, along the way, the rest of Legion and Titan Squad will join up with you,” Alec commanded, turning to Butcher, who had questioned him earlier.“What about you, Master? What will you do?” Hunter asked.“Me? I’ll be hunting down Tier 7 mutated zombies with Titan and Legion by my side, if I can take out the top generals and make that Type 3 mental zombie even more terrified, why waste time going after Tier 6 soldiers?” Alec replied as he instructed the system to allocate 53 points into his agility stat.[ Status Tab ]Name: Alec GordonsRace: Mid-Rank HumanLevel: 96Tier: 5 [Pea

“Ahhhhh!”The Type 3 Mental Zombie’s enraged scream was loud enough to jolt the still-dazed mages watching back to reality, they had all just witnessed Alec Gordon slay a Tier 7 mutated zombie, a feat that seemed almost unbelievable even though they had just witnessed it.Alec was still in the Tier 5 Mage Realm, yet he had just defeated a high-rank lifeform, even with the help of his golems, many onlookers struggled to comprehend what had just happened.“That guy… he—he actually slayed a Tier 7 mutated zombie, that’s a massive loss to the zombie army’s high-rank battle force…” Bryan Lanzt muttered, catching his breath now that he had successfully been able to position the Lanzt clan Tier 4 mages behind the Mid-Rank Gordon Mages, which means he could finally take a moment to process Alec’s battle.A few feet away, Alec pushed himself to his feet, wiping away the blood that still trickled from the corner of his mouth. But he didn’t care, as he could feel a refreshing sensation surging
Before The Chills.
Ever since the battle began, Alec had been analyzing everything, testing his strength against the Tier 7 mutated zombie and understanding the gaps and advantages between them, but now, he felt he had learned enough.And It was time to go all out.He dashed forward, closing in on the Agility-type zombie, a move that caught the Mutated zombie completely off guard, as never in its wildest nightmares would it had imagined Alec would challenge it in a battle of speed.But it was happening, and reacting on instinct, the zombie tried to dash and meet Alec, but the moment it did, its right leg tightened Mid-motion, making it realise that the Hive Queen had made her move again.Snarling, the zombie turned its gaze toward her, only for the Hive Queen to screech defiantly back.It took every ounce of willpower for the mutated zombie not to abandon its orders and attack her instead, but this time, it had learned its lesson. Even though it couldn’t see the web strings due to the Hive Queen’s man

The zombie snickered, realizing that its attack had not only failed to kill Hive Queen it had also put it in a precarious position. As if she attempted to restrict its speed again with such an array formation , it might struggle to break free a second time.The Phase spell wasn’t something that could be used consecutively without a brief cool down, due to the immense strain it put on the caster’s body, those who hadn’t fully mastered it risked severe backlash if they used it consecutively, and that was exactly what troubled the agility-type zombie.Luckily for it, neither Alec nor his golems seemed aware of this critical weakness in its earlier spell, but even so, they weren’t about to let the zombie kill Hive Queen under any circumstances.“You pesky creation of mana...” the Type 3 zombie growled, glaring at Hunter, whose hooked left hand was still clamped tightly onto its bladed arm.The next second, a powerful force yanked it downward, as Hunter had summoned his own golem minion

[> High Tier Skill – Phase <]The voice of the Tier 7 mutated zombie rang out, just as it was on the verge of receiving a devastating attack from three different angles, its dark green eyes gleamed with an eerie brilliance, and in the next instant, its entire body twitched violently.Alec watched in shock as the mutated zombie’s form blurred, its body vibrating at such an unnatural speed that it seemed to slip through the hundreds of web-like strings restraining it, and in a split second, it was free.Three deafening bangs echoed through the battlefield. A leg, a bladed arm, and a claw lashed out in three different directions, the next thing Alec knew, both he, Oni, and Tempest Butcher were sent hurtling backward from the location they came from, slamming into the ground hard.Alec’s injury was the worst, the zombie’s bladed hand had carved a deep gash across his chest, leaving behind traces of toxic green flames that immediately sought to burrow into his wound.But before they co
