2022-09-14 17:09:00The 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 with the top academy recruitment approaching.Noticing the golem following him without any instruction, Alec turned back and said"Wait for me here."To his surprise, the golem actually obeyed and stayed in place.Smirking at this detail, he gestured for it to follow him, and continued on his way to the training ground.As Alec and his golem passed they attracted attention from everyone they passed, people couldn't help but be amazed.Seeing Alec with a golem by his side was surprising enough, but the constant release of aura from his body, indicating his recent breakthrough to becoming a tier 1 mage, and this left people in awe."Isn't that the grandson of the patriarch?""Yes, it is. It seems he has finally been promoted to the tier 1 mage realm.""What were you expecting?, Becoming the family heir is no easy task.""Absolutely, Our young master is a true genius."Various comments and discussion erupted as others talked about Alec's excellence.Despite having been scorned in the past, being seen as illegitimate by many, Alec knew that strength was what truly mattered.His two high affinities and being the first among the younger generations to break through to the tier 1 mage realm only served to highlight his remarkable talents even more.As Alec entered the training hall, he noticed that many Gordon family members had already begun their training.He blamed himself for meditating so late, resulting in him waking up later than usual.However, he wasn't bothered by it, Even if the situation were to repeat itself, he would still choose to prioritize training over sleep.His excitement and thirst to learn more about mana had led him to meditate overnight and conduct numerous experiments with golems.The exhaustion from depleting his mana only to start meditating again was the reason he had fallen asleep in a meditative position.Alec had been an amateur in golem-making just last night, but now after a lot of trials and error he could be said to have progressed to the level of a beginner golem master.As he entered the training ground, all eyes turned to him, wide with surprise and disbelief at the aura he was emitting.The sheer amount of energy waves he was releasing made it evident to everyone present that he had become a tier 1 mage.And with the golem standing behind him, exuding the same aura, it only solidified their belief that he had truly entered the realm of mages.It was common knowledge that one could not maintain a summoned golem for long without a tier 1 mage's mana pool.This display of power further cemented Alec's newfound status."How did he become a tier 1 mage overnight?!" exclaimed one onlooker."See? Only the strongest among the younger generations can be the leader," remarked another."I knew it. The moment he was chosen, I could tell he was special," added someone else."I feel like that golem could crush me, It looks much sturdier than the golem a first-timer should be able to craft " one of the children from the younger generation voiced their thoughts.Even Arthur, who had initially claimed that he would protect Alec before he could obtain a powerful golem, was taken aback when he saw the golem standing behind Alec.He laughed at his past self for underestimating Alec's abilities, looking at Alec's golem, he was certain that he wouldn't stand a chance against that massive mound of clay.Even the golem's intimidating red eyes sent shivers down Arthur's spine.Arthur walked up to Alec and placed a hand on his shoulder and The golem raised it's mace in a threatening position, ready to strike at any moment.But Alec simply waved his hand, and the golem seemed to understand his intentions, It lowered its mace back down.Arthur's lips trembled and he felt cold shivers running down his neck, all this was a testament to the fear he felt when the bulky yet sturdy golem raised its hand.He felt helpless against the impending strike, even before the strike was made."Wow, you've gotten much stronger, brother.You have to take care of me in the future," Arthur mumbled, while comically clinging onto Alec's legs.The golem scratched its head, finding Arthur's behavior rather peculiar, despite its intelligence.Meanwhile, the seven enforcers from the Gordon family, responsible for combat training, were astounded by Alec's first golem."Hmm, I believe that golem is of uncommon rank, What a genuis!, To be able to craft an uncommon rank golem so fast, this boy must be a golem genius,"one of the elders remarked to himself, unaware of his mistake, if he had known that it was the same rank as the patriarch's boss golems.he might have referred to Alec as a monster rather than a genius.The entire younger generation gathered around Alec, accepting him as one of their own.They bombarded him with questions about cultivation, recognizing his knowledge and expertise.Inside, Alec grinned, knowing that this was what his grandfather had always wanted for him – to connect with the younger generations at an early stage.After all, if he was going to lead them in the future, it was better to establish a friendship now while they were still young.Alec did his best to answer every question thrown at him, despite considering himself a novice in cultivation.

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

[Ding!][2 EXP gained from defeating the level 0 zombie][Learned Basic Spear Techniques]Alec's panel displayed a series of notifications as the golems grew more adept at killing zombies with their stone spears. It was clear that the introduction of the basic spearmanship skill had greatly improved their abilities.[Basic Spearmanship Level 1]✦ Enhances your ability to wield the spear with speed and strength, increasing the likelihood of delivering a fatal strike, It also accelerates your understanding of spear techniques, depending on the skill level."Ohhh, so that's what's been helping them, I can't help but think they've become as skilled as ancient Chinese spearman soldiers" Alec remarked, a sense of awe in his voice.Curiously, Alec turned to Titan and asked, "Can you use a spear like them too?" 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
The Golem Mage Gordons Talent To The Rescue.
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

Before they left, Alec finally noticed some notifications on the screen that he had previously ignored due to being engrossed in a heated battle. However, now that he was no longer clashing with zombies, he had more time to properly examine them.

The system seemed determined to throw him into the jaws of death once again, It was like asking a (low) Tier 1 mage to take down a (mid) Tier 1 mage , a task deemed almost impossible.And to make matters worse, the system was demanding that he eliminate a hundred Tier 2 lifeform while still being in Tier 1 mage realm . It was a daunting challenge, to say the least.Although Alec felt the weight of the mission press upon him, he

Advanced Business Scheme.
Days passed after the Gordons’ auction, yet it remained the city’s hottest topic, as if it had only just happened. The buzz hadn’t died down, and with good reason, because thanks to the introduction of the Undead Purge pills, many infected mages that had been damn to die had been cured instead, and some clans chose to store their remaining pills, treating them as vital lifelines for the next Blood Moon battle after seeing how efficient it was.When the City Lord of the Estonia city finally heard the full account of what happened at the auction, he found himself completely at a loss, at first, he could hardly believe what his son told him about the quality of things that were auctioned off, but with nearly the entire city echoing the same story, he could no longer feign indifference. And one thing became crystal clear to him and that was the fact that he had gravely underestimated the Gordons Clan, every time he felt like he had overestimated them enough and they just come up with an
It Comes To An End.
After the incident with the Lanzt Clan’s Grand Elder being cured, Alec had been able to successfully assure each mages present that the Undead Purge pills truly worked against zombie Virus.Inside the five different bottles were Tier 1 to Tier 5 Undead Purge Pills, the Tier 1 bottle alone contained fifty pills. Though many clans were eager to bid, but Alec clearly stated that only clans with Tier 1-infected members still alive were eligible to participate. Those hoping to hoard the pills for the next Blood Moon War lost their chance like that, eventually, the bottle was sold in exchange for ten Tier 2 corpses.Alec even went as far as to say that if the winning clan cured their members and still had pills left, they were free to resell them to help other infected clans, however, he made it clear that he wouldn’t tolerate price gouging or exploitation.To prevent that, Alec set a fixed market price: ten thousand magic crystals for five Tier 1 Undead Purge Pills. The winning clan
New Status.
But everything was happening so fast, the crowd watched in awe as a golden-coloured pill appeared in Alec’s hand, and he extended it toward Bailey Lanzt, it was obvious to many that Alec had just pulled it from his space ring, prompting a few to glance toward the fifth VIP booth.Their eyes locked onto the Gordons Patriarch, though no one said a word, But George could clearly read the unspoken message behind their stares:“How could you leave such a priceless treasure in the hands of your grandson? Look, he’s about to hand it to that smelly old man!”What they didn’t realize, however, was that even George himself had never seen such a pill of that realm before, just like them all, It was also his first time laying eyes on a Tier 7 healing pill, and the jealousy brewing inside him could have made him explode. He had this itch to rush down and snatch the pill from Alec’s hand, and lock it away forever in the Gordons Clan treasury, so it would never see the light of day again.But he
It Worked?
Everyone had their eyes fixed on Bailey after he swallowed the pill, each person eager to witness what would truly happen to him, many in the room were genuinely hoping that, for the city’s future and its chances against the zombie horde, the cure would prove effective.However, there were a few, like the Raisa Clan who silently wished for the opposite, with all the recent success the Gordons Clan had enjoyed, from their pivotal role in the Blood Moon battle to the overwhelming impact of this auction, clans like theirs were desperate to see the Gordons fail at something—anything—that would drag their name through the mud for once.It stung that the Gordons were thriving even while other clans were still struggling to recover from the losses of the Blood Moon war during previous months’ battle, and naturally, this only intensified the resentment of those clans who had never been on good terms with the Gordons to begin with.Though Alec couldn’t read minds, he had a strong sense of wha
Handling Matters The Gentleman Way.
Bang!A sharp sonic blast erupted, sending shockwaves rippling in all directions as the mage Alec had just scolded launched himself toward the stage, his right hand was outstretched, aiming for the five pill bottles placed atop the stone pillar. The move had been so sudden and explosive that those nearby couldn’t react in time.The newly appointed Patriarch of the Raiza Clan stood abruptly, ready to attack along with the high rank Mage as this was such a rare chance for disruption, but then he noticed something strange, the Gordons hadn’t moved. Not the side guards Alec had positioned around, nor the two female mages beside Alec at the top of the stage, even Alec himself just stared blankly making the Raisa Patriarch suspicious. From the corner of his eye, he could see that none of them so much as flinched, it was almost as if… they were waiting for this.The high-rank mage, unaware of the danger, let a smirk curl across his lips. His special ability is temporary invisibility,
Final item 2.
“How is that possible? We all know that the pill capable of curing the zombie virus can only be obtained from the royal palace itself, only the royal alchemist possesses the knowledge to create it, and even then, it’s said to be incredibly difficult to produce. ““That’s one of the reasons we rarely see it at all,” someone from the crowd exclaimed, sparking a wave of discussion among the mages, most still uncertain whether to believe Alec Gordon’s words.This time, Alistair couldn’t keep his composure, his mind was spinning as he tried to recall if there was any other way to contact the royal alchemists from the Capital city without a direct referral from the city hall, but he came up with nothing. That left only two possibilities: either the Gordons were involved in black market dealings with a Royal Alchemist in the capital, or they had a direct connection that allowed them to acquire rare items from there.Neither scenario sat well with him, as if it was the black market, it me
The Final Item.
After two of the spirit equipment sets had been claimed by the Lanzt and Aegisborn clans, the competition for the remaining two rose to an entirely new level, of the last two, one stood out instantly—completely dark, as though it had swallowed the light around it. Its presence radiated an ominous charm, and the intricate craftsmanship made it clear this was no ordinary set.It was a four-piece spirit equipment set: a full body armour that extended to cover the hands like gloves, boots that reached the knees and merged seamlessly with the armour, a long, shadowy cape affixed to the back, and a broad sword as the final piece.This set was known as the Umbral Dread Regalia, and the bidding for it surged rapidly, led by the Darkbliss clan, who had long been waiting for something that matched their shadow affinity. The price escalated until it reached two hundred and thirty Tier 6 bodies, at which point no one dared to bid higher.With that, the Darkbliss clan finally secured a prize o
Auction 8.
While many in the crowd were busy wondering why no bidding war had erupted over such a high-caliber Spirit equipment set, Alec only smiled, only the top clans and a few insightful mages in the audience had grasped what truly happened.Most of the clans hadn’t shown much interest in the Ivory Juggernaut Set simply because it lacked elemental affinity but was more biased towards Qi manipulation, making it a poor match for their mages. Alec had given a brief explanation to stir some enthusiasm, and while a few had indeed shown interest, they remained hesitant.The Aegisborn Patriarch, however, saw the armour as a perfect blessing, as its abilities seemed tailored to enhance his clan’s innate strengths, so when he noticed a few other Patriarchs preparing to bid, he acted swiftly, calling out a hundred Tier 6 bodies without hesitation. In truth, that was the full amount his clan had brought to the auction.His brother Orion had warned him not to allow too many parties to get swept up i
Auction 7.
As Alec approached the stone pillar, he used his body to block the crowd’s view. Whispers and quiet conversations stirred as everyone waited for him to move aside, but Alec deliberately took his time. Eventually, he stepped away, revealing five pill bottles neatly arranged on top of the pillar, staring back at the eager crowd.“I’m glad to inform you all that we’ve reached the final round of today’s auction, and if you didn’t manage to acquire anything before the end of the auction, don’t worry there will be another opportunity in the next auction,” Alec said as he addressed the room once again. “I won’t bore you with talk about what’s to come, instead, let me introduce the final items of the night.”With that, Alec walked over to the spirit equipment set placed at the far right, the armour gleamed white with golden edges, seemingly lacking elemental affinity, but radiating a heavy flow of savage Qi. Alec ran his left hand along the smooth surface of the armour, which included
