They all followed Alec into his room as he locked the door behind them, ensuring it was secured properly.

He then instructed them to sit down, forming a semi-circle with him at the center.

“What I’m about to show you, or where I’m about to take you, has to do with one of the special abilities I’ve awakened, because of how powerful I find this ability, I’ve kept it a secret all this while.”

“But now, you are my only family here in the competition and you need my help, so I don’t think this is the time for me to hold back on any of you, just know that my ability must remain a secret; it should never be disclosed by any of you.”

“Because the day that happens, it means you’ve betrayed me, and I will cease any form of relationship with you, is that clear?” Alec asked, his seriousness palpable as they exchanged shocked glances.

After considering his words and the gravity of how he described his powers, they composed themselves, realizing they had no reason to betray Alec. He was family.

  • The Golem Mage   Preparation 4.

    It was only after Alec had pushed them into the Beast Forest that he realized he hadn’t thoroughly considered the consequences of tossing them in, as for instance, he was quite uncertain about how the reincarnation process truly worked.From what the system spirit had just explained, it was clear there was a significant difference between him and them; as he was the main owner of the amulet, while they were brought into the Amulet space due to external factors. This left Alec unsure whether their consciousness would return to their bodies if they died in the Beast Forest, as he pondered about this, he felt deep down that it wasn’t possible for them to actually perish in the first level of the Beast forest as the strongest beast there has a Tier 3 realm.Although the beasts were stronger than their current levels, but his gang had all reached Tier 4 Mage status, and Alec believed that if they worked together, they would be able to survive inside the forest. However, weighing variou

    Alec wore a look of surprise because, no matter what he had imagined, Knight being knocked out of the Beast Forest was never one of the possibilities running through his mind. He hadn’t even realized that one could access the Black void Space after entering the Beast Forest, because once he entered, he fought until either his time ran out or he was killed, both of which always resulted in his consciousness being transported back to his body.This meant that he thought there was no way back after entering the Beast Forest all this while, whereby there might have been a way. With many questions swirling in his mind, Alec couldn't help but move closer to Knight, who looked pale and exhausted.“Without omitting anything, tell me exactly what happened to you in the Beast Forest!” Alec demanded, staring directly at Knight not even caring if he was still tired or not.“Okay!” Knight nodded, trying to catch his breath.---#Beast ForestAgnes cautiously walked through the forest, initially

    “So what you’re telling me is that you were killed just a few seconds ago, and the next thing you know, you’re being forced out of the Beast Forest back into this void space?” Alec asked Knight, who had just finished recounting his encounter.Knight had gone from being randomly spawned among a full pack of beasts to fighting until he was eventually eliminated, it was a short and intense story. “Yes!” Knight replied, nodding his head. “Hmm,” Alec said, falling into deep contemplation as he considered various options to explore. “Well, immerse yourself in that pool over there, it might not have a significant effect on you, but you should be able to recover to some extent, i want you to try entering the door again just for experimentation purposes!” Alec gestured toward the Mana pool at the side, which emitted an ethereal glow. “Okay!” Knight agreed, dragging his tired self toward the pool and submerging himself. Just as he dove in, Agnes was unexpectedly thrown out of the Beast

    Arthur and Brandon ran until they reached a towering cliff, leaving them no choice but to look back at the slowly advancing wolf pack. The beasts were taking their time, encircling them, as if trying to mount some sort of mental pressure on them. “Fuck, it’s a dead end!” Arthur cursed, staring down to see just how deep the drop was, a shiver ran through him as he caught a glimpse of the sheer height.Brandon, who was beside him, conjured a small stone in his hand, making both Arthur and the wolves think he was about to throw it at them. But they were all shocked when he instead aimed his hand toward the cliff and tossed the stone down, causing him abs Arthur watched its descent, after about twenty seconds when it reached the bottom, both Arthur and Brandon exchanged anxious glances. “Hell no! There’s no way I’m going down like that. I’d rather be torn apart by wolves in fighting than jump to my death from this height. I can’t even imagine the state my body would be in after such

    Alec opened his eyes and stared at the four figures before him, hearing their gasps as they returned to consciousness. After they were fully awake, the first thing they did was remove the small branch of wood that had pierced part of their bodies, causing a trickle of blood to flow from the wounds. However, within seconds, the injured areas began to heal since these weren’t critical injuries, and their high realm meant that such minor bruises and wounds typically didn’t last long. Alec watched them closely, finally confirming that it was only upon his death that they would be forced out of the Amulet world space. He had clearly entered the second level of the Beast Forest to hunt down some Tier 5 demonic beasts.He had initially been searching for a Golden Horned Drake to continue the progression rate for his second soul demonic beast, but while he was on the hunt for a Tier 5 Golden Horned Drake demonic beast, the Tier 6 Golden Horn Drake that had killed him last time was also

    Alec didn’t want to waste any more time and quickly explained the two available upgrade options for the stone golem to Agnes. Though the paths had different costs, but Alec didn’t feel the need to burden her with those petty details as he could afford it and now they could enter the beast forest she could work back that amount for him with the same golems. He simply believed she had the right to choose the path her golem would follow.And Agnes chose for Alec to pick different paths for both golems, making him nod in approval, as that was exactly what he had in mind. Because if it were him, he would want to have both the Stone Guard Golem and the Stone Gunner Golem too, because he believed that leaning too far in one direction would ruin any chance of creating synergy between offense and defense he wanted her to have.From the names alone, Alec guessed that the Gunner Golem would focus on attack, while the Guard Golem would prioritize defense. He figured that if Agnes were forced

  • The Golem Mage   Tired.

    After Alec finished drawing the runes on the first stone golem, its body began to shine golden light, though not as brightly as when he used the system to automatically evolve his golems. But still, it indicated that the real evolution process was commencing, as it started to glow and levitate. Observing this development, Alec quickly moved to the second golem; as he didn’t want to waste any more time. Delaying at such a crucial moment could be fatal and lead to the destruction of both golems, so he hurriedly added the finishing touches to the second stone golem, causing it to levitate into the air also and emit a similar radiant light like the first. Once the rune engraving was complete, Alec felt a bit fatigued and opened his status tab to check his remaining mana.“Shit!” Alec cursed as he saw what little mana remained after the time-consuming engravings. He had tried his best to ensure that Agnes would receive nothing short of perfection in the breakthrough of her golems.

  • The Golem Mage   Paths of Evolution.

    In the end, Alec successfully helped Agnes evolve all five of her golems, before collapsing onto his back with a loud thud that echoed around them.Agnes squealed and rushed toward the new forms of the three golems Alec had just worked on. As usual, before starting the evolution, Alec had explained the paths available for her to choose from, just as he had done when he worked on the stone golems’ evolution. Alec believed that as the master, she should have a say in what path her golems would evolve into.And she decided that two of them would follow the mud golem path, while the last would become an ice golem.Alec was surprised by her choice of the mud golem over the tank/ attacking/control-type ice golem. However, upon further reflection, he began to see a connection, as he recalled that in the past, when he wanted his golems to focus on a specific path, he created something to steer them in that direction. For example, crafting earth spears for his early batch of golems had

    “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

    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

    “All you have to do is step up to the obelisk and give it your best shot,” Instructor Duran began, his voice echoing across the venue. “You’ll have three chances to strike the stone pillar, and your highest score will be the one that counts.” He paused briefly before continuing, “For regular students, reaching the peak of the third bar is enough to be put up for auction, Instructors will then compete to take you in as their direct disciple. If more than one instructor is interested in you, you’ll have the privilege of choosing the one you feel is most compatible for you.” Alec listened to Duran’s words, noting the subtle undertones, he knew what wasn’t being said outright: choosing between instructors often came with consequences. Rejecting an instructor, especially one less powerful than your chosen mentor, almost always led to animosity, the only time an instructor would swallow their pride was if the student chose someone like a Great instructor or someone undeniably superio

  • 1st Test.

    All the second-year students were also present, drawn by the rumours and speculations surrounding the new first-year class, ever since the new batch arrived, whispers had circulated that some of the first-years were stronger than their seniors. Instructors even frequently used the first-years as examples during lectures for them, which had bruised the egos of a few second-years who couldn’t accept the idea of being surpassed by their juniors. This growing rivalry meant most of the second-years came to observe the tests, eager to see if the rumours were true. The exams functioned as a grading system, any first-year mage who surpassed the hallmark set by the first two tests would be allowed to advance to second-year classes ahead of schedule. While those who failed would have to wait until the next academic year to move up, it was also an opportunity to identify the strongest mages within the first-year class. -After about thirty minutes, the venue was fully occupied, the fir

    # War God Mage Academy The atmosphere at the War God Mage Academy was somber, despite their academy team’s victorious return, the events at the Grand Royal Arena had cast a heavy shadow over what should have been a time of celebration for the whole academy. What truly broke the spirits of the academy’s executive members, however, was the Northern Kingdom king’s final decision to withdraw all support for the academy, the normal shares they usually receives before has been cancelled, the new Dean interpreted this as a blatant show of power, an attempt to subjugate the War God Mage Academy and keep it in check so they don’t go out of line. In response to this injustice, a long silent voice emerged, the retired old Dean, who had been in self imposed seclusion for years, sent an urgent message to the academy’s top instructors, in fact to call it a message would be an understatement, it was more of an order. The old Dean had demanded that all senior students with no link to any cla

  • After Its All Done.

    It had been a week since the blood moon battle, yet the Northern Kingdom’s capital city still buzzed with talk of the events that had unfolded at the Grand Royal Arena. Despite the king’s decree forbidding any discussion of the matter, and despite the crowning of the Bloodline Academy as the winners of the inter-academy competition, the truth could not be buried, as too many witnesses had seen what transpired. The entire kingdom had watched as their king used his authority to strip the War God Mage Academy of their rightful victory. The move ensured that the Great Eight academies remained unchanged, or in simpler terms he made sure the Royal Mage Academy which is under the Royal Family’s direct control, remained one of the primary beneficiaries of the kingdom’s resources for academies. Meanwhile, the War God Mage Academy that was dragged to the finals by Alec’s miraculous efforts, was discarded, its former glory overshadowed by its inability to contend with the kingdom’s polit

  • Shamelessness At Its Peak 2.

    The crowd understood the truth of Alec’s situation: there had been no investigation. The king had renounced the War God Mage Academy’s achievements in a single, unchallenged decree, using Alec’s actions as a convenient excuse. But now, with Alec’s bold justification and reference to the law, the tables had turned, he had exposed the lack of due process, indirectly calling out the incompetence of those responsible for investigating the incident, and by extension, the king himself. Though Alec had not openly insulted the king, but his words were an indirect slap to the monarch’s authority, forcing him into a corner before the eyes of thousands. “Don’t push your luck, boy!” the Golden Armoured Knight growled, releasing a suffocating wave of aura toward Alec, as Alec’s word indirect meaning was picked up by many. But before the oppressive energy could reach him, it was effortlessly blocked by the Dean of the War God Mage Academy, who stepped in front of Alec with a calm yet dang
