System

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! Well, aside from that, let bygones be bygones, after today, you would be groomed to be the leader of the next generation, That's how the Gordon family works, Oops, by the way, I have a present for you based on your earlier promises to me," he said, running off before I could argue.

I waited for him to come back, taking the time to observe the Golem standing before me, Though it appeared blank at the moment, my instincts told me otherwise, I was certain that it was truly intelligent and seemed to recognize me.

It also seemed to be connected to the old man telepathically, Unlike other ordinary golems in the courtyard, this one looked different, It's body was incredibly smooth and lacked the patches and roughness typically associated with earth elements Golems or clay Golems.

Its entire surface had a pure brown color, The smoothness indicated that it had been refined countless times over the years, it had been with the old man for a very long time.

With its air of dominance and the imposing aura it emitted, it felt like looking at a general who had been through countless wars.

"Ahem, hope you're ready, boy, because here is the treasure I hold dearest," the old man said as he came back with two books, interrupting my observations.

"Leave us alone first, Harold," the old man said to the Golem, and it nodded before walking away, I was shocked once again by this new discovery, The Golem's level of intelligence had definitely developed to a high degree.

My grandfather turned to me and passed me the two books.

"This is a copy of all the knowledge of the previous patriarchs of the Gordon family, including mine, concerning everything you need to know about golem creation," he explained, placing the book labeled "Gordon's Golems Knowledge" in my hands.

As he was about to give me the second book, he started explaining further.

"You see, this one page is so big that it looks like complete book, It's said to be from a skill book that the Gordon family's Golem arts were derived from, Based on our limited understanding, we have been passing it down through the generations to each young master of the Clan."

" But it seems that the book only reveals and unlocks more of its secrets to the one it has chosen, The Gordon family hasn't made much progress in Golem creations because it's not our uniquely created path."

" However, it's intertwined with our earth elements, and during the apocalypse, when the gods seemed to favor us, it was a path we Gordons mages walked on, But looking back now, each family that created their own skill has evolved it to their own unique perfection."

" The golem techniques remained as an inheritance and couldn't be evolved further without someone accessing it, We still don't know the full capacity of it, but as the young master of this generation, it is now your time to carry it and pass it on to your own heir," my grandfather explained with a tinge of sadness in his eyes.

It became clear to me that those who chose to pursue other mage paths within the family were seen as betraying the family, Those who started with the Golem Path but weren't talented enough to excel in it turned to other paths to find their own success.

There were three main mage paths—battle mage, wizard/witch mage, and summoning Mage, Those who deviated from golem path all chose from one of these paths or practiced with both, as the other paths were more widely known and easier to teach to future generations.

"Here, take it," the old man said, placing the golem skill book in my hand.

The moment the book landed in my palm, a panel resembling a screen appeared in front of my eyes.

[Congrats to Finally Finding a Source to Awaken the System]

[Do you want to consume the God Skill Scroll to reform the system? Y/N]

I couldn't help but feel perplexed as I saw the system type panel pop out before me, In the countless comics I had read about reincarnation and transmigration, the main characters always seemed to possess a system.

However, since I crossed over into this body, I had never received one, I had never held much hope of being some chosen one or a main character, but who would have thought that after fourteen years, I would finally stumble upon a source that could activate this long-awaited system.

I was quite certain that if I chose to reform the system with the Golem God Scroll, my skills would likely be tied to Golems or have a branch of golem-related abilities, While I had never given much thought to becoming a golem mage, it seemed that this path was the only option available to me.

After all, finding another God Skill Scroll was highly unlikely, and I couldn't simply rely on other families to offer me copies of their unique mage arts, With a sense of determination, I quickly clicked on "Y-yes."

"Assimilating... 30%."

"Assimilating... 45%."

"Assimilating... 80%."

"Assimilating... 100%."

[Welcome, online host. Please wait for one hour for the system to reboot and adjust itself according to the newly downloaded information.]

As my eyes shifted away from the system, I noticed my grandfather holding my shoulders with both hands, a worried expression etched across his face.

"What's wrong with you? You just blanked out on me and started waving your hands in the air, Did you notice anything unusual, when I gave you the skill passed down from our ancestors?" he asked, his face filled with concern.

"I need to rest now. I'll see you later," I replied, finding an excuse to escape from his presence, After all, once the system came online properly in an hour, I planned to thoroughly explore its functions properly.

I didn't want to be seen as weird again, clicking on my system while others could only see me clicking on thin air, as It just occurred to me that I was the only one able to see and receive the system notifications.

    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'?

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

    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.

    NOTE: I made an error in the headcount of deaths, there have been eleven Tier 7 casualties on the Zombie side, I forgot to include the one Alec killed, as a result, one of the infected humans is facing only a single zombie instead. 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

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

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.

    “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
