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

It had been days since the three assassins were dispatched to the Gordons Clan to eliminate Alec, but with no word or sign of their success, the City Lord was beginning to regret his impulsive decision, the silence gnawed at him as a bitter reminder that he might have once again acted too hastily.He still fumed at how Alec had exchanged sharp words with him in front of so many people, tarnishing his credibility, and the only way he knew to deal with such a problem was to erase it. Alec was quickly becoming another Gordons weed, stubborn, persistent, and dangerously difficult to uproot.On the night of the planned assassination, he had seen the massive array deployed over the Gordons estate, he’d almost allowed himself to relax, convinced that the assassins must have succeeded in their mission. In his mind, there was no other reason for the Gordons to raise such a formation unless it was to contain either someone or something, and he believed it was to keep the assassins from escap
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

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
Clan Upgrade 2.
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
