2022-10-23 06:58:58Two 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 able to create seven other golems apart from Titan.Even though there wasn't a level indicator to showcase his progress, he could feel a significant improvement in his ability to craft sturdy golems compared to when he first started as a mage.Furthermore, he discovered that the system had the capacity to communicate, but it seemed reluctant to reach out due to the energy it consumed.The system informed him that every question he asked would cost him 20 mana, regardless of whether or not it could provide an answer.This revelation left Alec feeling uncertain about trusting the system, but he ultimately decided to take advantage of the system's rapid power growth and asked a few questions that had been lingering in his mind.With a determined mind, he opened his status tab and began to inquire about his burning questions.[ Status Tab]Name: Alec GordonsRace: HumanLevel: 2Tier: 1 [low tier]■ Exp till next level : 0.00%/300[ Attributes ]Strength: 9+Agility: 8+Endurance: 8+Mana: (100/100)Affinity: Earth (high)+, Fire(high)+Available points : 3System points: 0He had leveled up to level 2 , thanks to all the training and dedicated meditation he had been practicing."What is your purpose?" Alec asked, curiosity filling his voice.[ X : To make the host the strongest mage alive, that's my main purpose. ]the system responded, its words resonating in Alec's mind.[ Status Tab]Name: Alec Gordons“Race: HumanLevel: 2Tier: 1 [low tier]■ Exp till next level : 0.00%/300[ Attributes ]Strength: 9+Agility: 8+Endurance: 8+Mana: (80/100)Affinity: Earth (high)+, Fire(high)+Available points : 3System points: 0Alec checked his mana, only to realize that it had reduced by 20."Hmm, it seems the system wasn't lying about the 20 mana per question," Alec thought to himself."Who created you?"Alec asked the question that had been bothering him, He believed that he might be a plaything of some God, someone who was just watching him like an experiment.[×: Question invalid!!!, All you need to know is that I have transferred with you to help you become the strongest mage.]"Hmm, another waste of 20 mana,"Alec said to himself when he realized that his mana had reduced to 60 from 80, as the system still failed to answer his question."Well, I guess that solves all I need to know about the system, I'll have to level up quickly and see if it finally answers my questions," Alec said to himself."It's an attack! All mages, report for duty at the gates!"a middle-aged man shouted as he rushed towards the family gates."Hmm, it seems my first battle is about to start," Alec said to himself.He quickly allocated his available points into agility to improve his running speed.[ Status Tab]Name: Alec Gordons“Race: Human“Level: 2“Tier: 1 [low tier]■ Exp till next level : 0.00%/300[ Attributes ]“Strength: 9+“Agility: 11+“Endurance: 8+“Mana: (60/100)Affinity: Earth (high)+, Fire(high)+Available points : 0System points: 0The moment he started running straight towards the gates, he noticed that he was much faster than normal, He caught up with the rest of the family members who were also making their way to the city gates."Alec!" He turned back to see Arthur and the rest of the younger generations lagging behind.He slowed down a little so they could catch up."What is it?" Alec asked immediately."Have you heard any information about the attack?"Arthur asked, but Alec shook his head to indicate that he had no idea about the attack."Even better, I have some information," Arthur said with a smirk."Just spill it, dumbass," Alec said impatiently."Okay! I got a little info from an older guard passing by, It was said that a level 5 zombie horde is heading straight for our city," Arthur explained."But how is that possible? I thought zombie hordes only occurred during a Blood Moon, and it's definitely not nighttime, let alone a blood moon," Alec questioned."Now, that's where you're mistaken, man, Not all zombies are able to return to their dimensions after an attack, So those who are left gather around the highest-level zombie, waiting for the next blood moon to join the next attacking force," Arthur clarified."However, occurrences like this are very rare since most high-level zombies escape quickly when they realize the portal is closing, But this time, a level 5 zombie wasn't able to escape when the city lord cut off its right arm, leaving it lagging behind, Now that it has recovered its strength, it's seeking revenge," Arthur explained all the details to Alec."Hmm, so we're up against a Tier 5 zombie Commander ?" Alec asked."No, it's not a zombie commander. It's a Tier 5 zombie brain monster, a mental type," Arthur clarified with a laugh."Hahaha, what did you think? That a zombie commander can lead a horde that would make the city lord call on the family clan mages? Don't make me laugh." Arthur said.

"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

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

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

Bryan scrutinized Alec, trying to figure out why he was so confident. However, no matter how hard he tried to calculate Alec's actions, it became clear that Alec had a clear head and couldn't be manipulated."I don't know what you're placing your faith in, but I can assure you that if you don't have another golem as big as that guy here, you'll lose terribly," Bryan Lanzt said, pointing at Titan.Alec was taken aback, He was certain that there was nothing that could match Titan's strength. "Oh, and why is that?" Alec asked, genuinely surprised."There is a (Peak) Tier 1 speed demon zombie," Bryan replied.Alec furrowed his brows as he learned that there was a Peak Tier 1 zombie silently lurking among the horde he was defending against. The fact that it hadn't attacked yet meant it was intelligent enough to hide from there views waiting to ambush his siblings. After all, it specialized in speed."Closing in on my siblings won't be difficult for the zombie," Alec stated coldly. "Th

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
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
