The shock Alec brought to the younger generation
last update2022-09-14 17:09:00

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.

    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

    While those interested in the armour were prepared and waiting for Alec to declare the starting bid, the others, who had no intention of bidding couldn’t help letting their imaginations run wild. As they felt If the opening item was already of mid-tier caliber, what else could possibly be in store?, Many silently prayed that something matching their desires would appear next so they could make use of the corpses they had brought in their space rings.As murmurs of speculation filled the hall, Alec stood calmly, a knowing smile on his face as he observed their expressions. This was all part of his plan, starting strong with a high-tier item to set the tone, even if the next few items didn’t match the first in quality, the excitement would remain. As the crowd had already been made to believe that treasures awaited them, and that momentum alone would keep their spirits high, as the eagerly awaited what’s next.This was the power of first impressions, and Alec knew how to wield it

  • Auction 1.

    Though Alec already had his suspicions about who was responsible for the probing, but he chose to act as if he hadn’t noticed anything at all.“Seeing how eager you all are to discover what we’ve prepared for you today, I won’t waste any more of your time, especially as you all are respectable figures, so allow me to first explain the one and only rule of the Gordons Auction House.” Alec began, his voice calm but firm.“No matter who you are or what position you hold outside these walls, once you step into this hall, you’ve accepted to be under our care, and with that comes our expectation of a little respect back from you, it’s quite simple, really.”“Our one rule is this: there will be no fighting inside the auction hall, if anyone believes themselves to be above reason, they are free to try gathering mana in a bid to attack, but just know, whatever happens after that, we won’t be held responsible.” Alec’s tone was firm, a quiet authority threading each word as he addressed the crow

  • D Day 2.

    Just as the crowd waited in eager anticipation for the auction to begin, a sudden flash of light burst across the stage, instantly drawing the attention of every guest, conversations fell silent as all eyes turned toward the source, and from the backstage, Alec emerged, flanked by two female mages at his side.He wore a regal-looking robe, deep brown with black trim, bearing the Gordons clan emblem boldly emblazoned on his back and a smaller crest over his left chest, though he’d clearly attempted to comb his hair back neatly, but a few stubborn strands still jutted out at the edges, adding an almost roguish charm to his appearance.Beside him stood two stunning female mages, dressed in elegant yet provocative outfits Alec had personally arranged for the event, their short skirts and stylish tops left little to the imagination, instantly catching the attention of several lustful onlookers. But these women weren’t just decoration, their job for the day was to assist Alec in presentin

  • D Day.

    While the city lord waited impatiently for any word from the Gordons clan, a message finally reached him, just a day before the long-awaited auction, he sat in his study, his usual spot by the window that directly faced the Gordons estate. It had become something of a habit for him, to watch from there, hoping for a sign of unrest at the Gordons, but to his quiet frustration, the sealed gates of the Gordons had been opened, and the estate had come alive again, bustling as though nothing had happened a few days ago.As he stared out, a knock sounded at the door, and he turned to see his son, Alistair, stride in with an unreadable expression.“Father, there’s finally news from the Gordons clan,” Alistair announced, stopping beside his father’s chair.Those words alone made the previously lax city lord sit up, a sharp gleam of interest in his eyes. “Speak. What is it?”Alistair wasted no time. “The Gordons have dispatched envoy mages across the city, reaffirming that the auction w

  • Merit System.

    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

  • Changes 2.

    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
