The Golem Mage The Chase Part 1
When Alec and the gang emerged, they noticed that even Grace and Gabriel, who had decided to keep their distance, had repositioned themselves closer to the Golems. At the cave entrance, an entire army of plant life forms stood before them, Just the sight of them filled Alec with a sense of foreboding.There was only one plant Lifeform that Alec knew that could be so enraged as to mobilize an army of this size against him. This could be seen from the fact that the plant Lifeform was even willing to cross the borders where Divine Tree held no dominion, all to take Alec down."Surely, you didn't expect to see me again, did you?" The root, now in Its form of a plant humanoid, stepped forward with outstretched arms. Its gaze bore into Alec, but Alec still struggled to recall who it was. This action of Alec just seemed to infuriate the root even more."Ah, don't tell me you've forgotten me so soon, Your master was the one who wounded me to the point where I had to descend in realm jus
The Golem Mage The Chase Part 2.
The Orc chief swung his large battle axe down on the humanoid form of the Root who led his army of plant life forms in pursuit of Alec and his group. Meanwhile, the same army struggled to keep the Orcs out of the race to reach Alec and his group.Suddenly, the Root sensed someone attempting to launch a sneak attack and swiftly swung his left hand behind him, conjuring a wooden shield in mid-air, stopping the Huge Battle Axe. He turned around to confront the Orc chief, who appeared like an evil incarnate in his skull helmet as he rode on his wolf mount."How dare you come between me and my preys?" the Root questioned, slamming his body towards the Wolf that had finally caught up with him."you, a mere plant, dare call living beings your prey?, When did you become a beast that preys on humans as you desire ?, Don't mess with me. I'm certain now that you're chasing the same humans who killed my hunters, raided and stole my power stones. And you're in my way!" The Orc chief responded wi

“Listen to me, all of you, You will not under any circumstances disobey my orders. Do you understand?, This is a direct order. Get to the gates safely, and we will be right behind you. Have I ever broken a promise to any of you before?""Don't forget, my word is bond," Alec emphasized, ensuring their agreement to never stray from his plan and dash for the city gates, If they were to deviate from it, all of his careful planning would go up in smoke. He then turned his attention towards the twins."And as for you two, don't even think about disobeying me this time. Trust me, I would personally ensure that I kill you before I ever fight against the bastard chasing me. You are Tier 4 mages, for God's sake. Show some backbone," Alec taunted them making Gabriel snorted in response, while Grace looked worried but determined."Now!" Alec shouted, prompting everyone to turn and face the Orc chief along with the Root just a few meters away. The rest of the group continued dashing towards th
The Golem Mage The Chase (Final).
Despite having its arms severed, Titan showed no signs of pain or emotion. Its face remained icy cold, with a steady glare in its eyes as it headbutted the Orc chief with great force. The chief staggered back, and as he regained his footing, a sense of imminent danger washed over him.He instinctively tilted his head to the left, narrowly avoiding Legion's laser spear as it whizzed past his head."Shit, I'm going to kill you... Ahhhh!!" The Orc chief continued his threats towards Legion, but in that very moment, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Thankfully, he had quickly reinforced that region with Qi and managed to hold on to whatever had caused the pain. Otherwise, it likely would have pierced his heart by now.He gazed at Titan, who had transformed his right hand into a large pike and impaled the area where the his armor had been previously broken by Legion. All this time, the chief had underestimated both golems, failing to realize that they had been scheming to take him d
The Golem Mage Despicable Captain.
Alec wasted no time recalling all of his golems the moment they reached the city gates. The sight of Titan who was such in a damaged state pained Alec's heart, for Titan was undoubtedly his strongest golem.These past few days, Alec had been facing opponents stronger than himself as that was the dangers of the Abyss Realm, which had forced Titan to sacrifice itself multiple times, as none of Alec's other golems could take over that job. This had significantly hindered Titan's progress, and Alec couldn't help but feel that it should have already reached Tier 3 Golem status with the amount of experience it had gained, but due to all the repairs it had lagged behind a little affecting its breakthrough.But still yet Titan had always charged in without hesitation, acting as Alec's reliable shield whenever danger lurked. Brandon placed his hands on Alec's shoulders, sensing the weight of his worry, even if other were not able to tell what was up with Alec, him and Arthur had stayed with
The Golem Mage The Abyss Trouble Makers (Part 1).
“Damn that man!, They all parade around like righteous mages, but they’re just a bunch of assholes, full of greed like any normal person, Why do they hide behind those uniforms?” Arthur ranted, his anger consuming him. They had just been dismissed by the captain who had asked for them and was responsible for the wing near the City gate they came in. The Captain had made sure to meticulously gathered every detail about the Nature Low Power Mine, down to the last piece of information, even uncovering the identity of the mine’s owner at the moment from them. Once he felt satisfied, he waved Alec and his gang out of his room without bothering to face them. As he motioned with his hand, a strong gust of wind forcefully ejected them all from the room. This infuriated Arthur even more, They never even got to see the captain’s face, and he had clearly not helped them when they were being chased by the orc army and the plant life forms. It only just worsened their already negative impres
The Golem Mage The Abyss Trouble Makers (Part 2).
Alec and the group wasted no time upon their return to the Academy; as they immediately divided the spoils equally between both groups. It had been James who suggested that the twins receive no share earlier, given their behaviour towards Alec. However, when Alec himself decided to give them a portion, James didn’t argue. James could have gained more by withholding their share, but he respected Alec and appreciated the twins’ efforts during the Orc pursuit, Their teamwork had been crucial for their survival.Once Alec was certain that everyone had received their proper share, they all went their separate ways. Alec and the gang headed back to Terran’s Peak, rushing towards their rooms in a race to reach the High Tier 2 Mage Realm before one another. Brandon observed their enthusiasm and joined them, hoping to consolidate his realm and make progress towards the Peak Of the Tier 2 Mage Realm. Cause If he didn’t, his advantage over the others would soon disappear, and he would face
The Golem Mage The Abyss Trouble Makers (Part 3).
While Alec’s recent achievements were the subject of discussion throughout the academy, not everyone was pleased by his return to the spotlight, after what he did in the Abyss Realm. Biased seniors, who had previously dismissed Alec’s survival in the Abyss as mere luck when he was first tossed in, were now scrambling to find fresh excuses. Their reluctance to admit their own errors led them to claim that Alec’s accomplishments were solely due to the help he received.These individuals conveniently overlooked the fact that Alec had ventured into the Abyss even before reaching the Tier 3 realm and twice for that matter, proving them wrong once again. Even if they were in Alec’s shoes, being pursued by an army of second Dimension races with three Tier 4 mages as their protectors, they too would protest and would definitely not even make it out in one piece. However, no amount of noise they made could overshadow Alec’s growing fame.As word of Alec’s deeds spread throughout the school

Auction 5.
Which was equivalent to at least another ten bodies if they were counting in Tier 5 terms; and now the pills’ value had reached the equivalent of twenty Tier 5 bodies which is the original realm Alec had placed the bid.As the two men stared toward each other’s booth, trying to anticipate each other’s next move and act as cautiously as possible, Alec stood with his hands behind his back, neither announcing nor acknowledging their bids.Everyone was so pumped about his heated bidding battle that the both Booth were probably the only ones being stared at, the crowd found the bidding battle far more interesting than expected, many realizing they even enjoyed watching such power plays.‘Yes! Fight! Bid and spend all your corpses here, in the end, I’ll still be the biggest winner, no matter how much you believe I’m taking a loss,’ Alec thought as he watched them close to breaking down, though he kept a nonchalant face, deep down he was almost jumping for joy seeing how much the pills were
Auction 4.
“For the second round, I’ve prepared a batch of various items to speed things up,” Alec began as he walked towards the stone pillar and pulled off the black cloth that had been covering the items. “I have here three different items for the second round, and as you can see, there are three bottles, each holding cultivation pills, the first bottle contains ten Tier 3 cultivation pills.” “The second bottle holds another ten Tier 4 cultivation pills, while the third bottle contains five Tier 5 cultivation pills, and these three bottles will not be sold separately but as a joint sale, and the starting bid is six Tier 5 bodies.” Alec finally concluded his introduction of the second item, which happened to be a bundled sale, after his statement about the contents of the three pill bottles, the entire auction house fell silent. The breaths of many inside hitched as they could hardly believe their eyes, all this while, when they wanted to cultivate, they had relied on power stones harveste
Auction 3.
The second female mage who had moved backstage earlier now rolled out another table, this time two tables interlocked together to prevent them from separating, one of the tables was empty, while the other was covered in a dark cloth, immediately making many in the crowd realize that was the second item of the day hidden beneath it.As the female mages reached the center, she and the first lady who had remained on stage with Alec began transferring the newly purchased armour, won by the black-clothed man onto the empty table. Once they were done, they placed the new item on the new empty stone pillar.Afterward, the first lady rolled the armour offstage while the crowd waited eagerly for the unveiling of the second item.“Well, in this situation, I’ll go straight to the point and not keep you all in suspense,” Alec said as he started walking toward the stone pillar. However, despite his words, there were many in the crowd who didn’t believe him.Because as he was observing some peop
Auction 2.
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
