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 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.Related Chapters
The Golem Mage Combat training
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'? It perfectly suits its size and si

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. [Basic spearmanship leveled up] [Basic spearmanship lvl 5 (Max)] [To evolve the skill from basic spearmanship to intermediate spearmanship, you would have to kill a hundred life forms higher than your level]When Alec laid his eyes on the mission once more, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over him. 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

The Chills 3.
From that moment onward, Alec and his golems were like tigers given wings after their first kill, especially Alec. Not only did he slay the next Tier 7 zombie alone, but he had done so effortlessly.This was largely because his bone katana had become significantly stronger after absorbing the bones of a Tier 7 strength-type zombie, combined with Alec coating the blade in his black flames, it gave him a distinct edge.The black flames burned through anything, and were nearly impossible to extinguish until it died out itself, and it also inflicted lasting damage even on high-rank mages, and it swiftly became Alec’s go-to enchantment, allowing him to wield his weapon mastery to its fullest. For a zombie facing a mage with such speed and intermediate weapon mastery, it was nothing short of a nightmare. As no matter how it attacked, Alec had his Earth element reinforcing his defences, and even as he fought, he maintained a Stone Skin spell, which assimilated into his body to guard again

Alec finally clenched his right fist, causing the black hole to vanish, but the damage was already done, the zombie’s severed hand lay in a pool of its own dark, corrupted blood, still dripping from the wound.In just a few seconds, Alec had not only disabled the zombie’s defensive skill but had also severed its other hand, drastically weakening its combat capabilities, it had all happened too fast for the creature to fully comprehend what was going on.Without hesitation, Alec stretched out his left hand, and the bone katana, which was still lodged in the zombie’s right arm, was forcefully yanked free, as fresh spray of blood followed as the blade tore through its flesh which is now vulnerable after its defences had been compromised.The katana twirled through the air in a controlled spin before seamlessly landing back in Alec’s grasp.With smooth precision, he swung the weapon, flicking off the excess blood on it, before taking a firm stance, he raised the katana to eye level, his r

Legion, meanwhile, was still trading blows with the Mutated Tier 7 zombie, while all this was happening, a split second later, both Titan and Alec shot out of the crater.Even as dust still clouded the battlefield, obscuring the view of the few human mages fortunate enough to witness Alec’s fight, he and Titan emerged into sight the moment they soared upward.The Mutated Strength-type zombie, which had been pummelling Legion with relentless strikes around, was suddenly forced onto the defensive as Alec and Titan joined the fray, their attacks flowed seamlessly, as if they were moving in perfect sync.Yet, the strength-type zombie was not to be underestimated, it met their blows head-on, refusing to buckle under the relentless barrage, even as it was being overwhelmed from three directions, it held its ground, its skin seemingly hardening to withstand their strikes.The low-rank mages standing at the city gates could only watch in awe, their eyes struggled to track the rapid movements
Aura Pressure.
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. They had observed his previous kills and were sticking to the Mental-type zombie’s orders, which was to wear hi
Correction.
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

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
Before The Chills 2.
“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
