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

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

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

The moment Alec laid eyes on the mage who had arrived, he exhaled in relief, finally, someone familiar was here, and this humiliating ordeal was about to end.“We greet Sir Steven. This—” the five city guards greeted in unison, with the lead guard attempting to explain the situation, however, Steven simply raised his hand, cutting him off before he could say more.“You can all leave now. I’ll handle this from here,” Steven ordered, motioning for Alec and his group to follow him.“Welcome back home,” Steven said as they walked through the city hall’s huge compound, Alec and his companions trailing behind. With a city guardian escorting them, no other city guards dared to stop or challenge them until they reached the city hall gates.“Steven, I’ll admit it’s good to see you doing well, you’ve even managed to become a city guardian, that’s impressive but I still don’t understand why that guard treated me so poorly,” Alec said, narrowing his eyes at Steven.Out of curiosity, Alec attemp
Lil Trouble
Alec knew he needed to act quickly, the only reason he had agreed to help the academy with the pills in the first place was that he felt cornered by the situation, a pit he had unwittingly dug for himself. However, upon reflection, he realized that the deal wasn’t as bad as it initially seemed, in fact, he stood to gain more than the academy from the arrangement.Though Alec was still learning how things operated in this world, but he had quickly grasped the scarcity of resources that were easily accessible to him due to the amulet. It made him appreciate the value of his unique position, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude toward the Ancient Primordial Tree in his amulet space, if he could, he would have entered the space right then and kissed it for its endless blessings.While the academy would receive only pills, Alec would walk away with the larger share of the benefits: pills, random spell cards, memory orbs, and occasional healing pills. Initially, the memo
A Deal With The Academy.
Alec and the Dean made their way toward the highest peak in the mountains, this peak, is said to house only the old Dean and his loyal retainers, and It stood far above the others, offering an ethereal view as it was shrouded in clouds that seemed to guard its serenity.When they landed, Alec was surprised to see two figures already waiting there at the front yard for them.“Old man Alderic, what are you doing here?” Alec called out immediately, recognizing one of the few High Rank mages he truly respected, among the academy’s powerful figures, Alderic stood out as someone Alec felt gratitude toward. Before Alec and his group ventured into the Second Dimension for the first time, Alderic had offered invaluable advice and provided them with a map that revealed hidden truths about the dimension, knowledge they wouldn’t have gained by simply following an adventure group. That gesture had been instrumental in their survival during their first journey into the Abyss.“Hahaha... You’ve
Out Of Excuses.
“Why did you accept such terms? It’s clear we could have pushed the city hall into a corner, negotiated a better deal, and reduced the number of mages we have to send for such a gruesome battle, you know we can’t afford to lose so many of our mages in a meaningless war like this,” the Grand Elder said, his voice sharp as the ground beside him cracked open, revealing the patriarch emerging from below.“I understand your concerns,” the patriarch replied calmly, dusting off his robes, “but you must remember, we had already decided to offer our support, why exploit the situation unnecessarily? Besides, by participating, we gain proximity to the high rank mages present, that gives us an opportunity to discern which of them might truly be connected to the attack on the outer court.”“Oh, don’t misunderstand me, I have no intention of sending you into the frontlines of the Blood Moon War.” The Grand Elder interjected with a sly grin. The patriarch raised an eyebrow in surprise, prompting
The Legendary Fox.
Gordons’ Inner CompoundAs the city lord reached the gates of the inner yard, he was momentarily delayed before a mage from the Gordons clan arrived to escort him inside, the mage led him to an open room where the Grand Elder was already seated, with a sly smile on his face.“And here I was, thinking my old friend would be the one entertaining me, after years of him inviting me to his home, I finally decided to visit!” the city lord said with a teasing tone as he took the seat opposite the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder chuckled politely but replied with an edge, “To be honest, even you must realize that negotiating with me is far better than dealing with my brother directly.” His tone was courteous, yet the underlying warning was unmistakable, a reminder of where the city lord currently stood with the Gordons clan.The Grand Elder’s words drew a hearty laugh from the city lord, who quickly regained his composure and locked eyes with him. “You’re absolutely right, speaking with a

“Can I begin now?” Lucas asked, snapping Duran out of his trance, the instructor had been so focused on Alec that he forgot to start the trial.It wasn’t entirely Duran’s fault; after checking Lucas and confirming he was at the High Tier 5 Mage Realm, curiosity compelled him to use his Spirit Eyes to analyse Alec as well, however, what he discovered left him stunned, Alec had erected a circular mental shield around himself, preventing any external observation of his realm.This development was shocking to Duran, as such a feat was something even most low Tier 6 Mages struggled to achieve, Typically, mages only began cultivating their mental abilities upon entering Tier 6 Mage realm, using specialized facilities like the Mental Cultivation Building at the War God Mage Academy.Mental cultivation was notoriously slow and gruelling, requiring years of effort even with advanced resources, that is why mages of less privilege clans ended up needing years before they could enter the High ran
1st Test 5.
The moment Emma Gordon stepped onto the stage, she began rotating her small fists, and building momentum as her right fist became coated in a shimmering layer of Qi energy. Her exaggerated movements and energetic display caused Duran to shake his head slightly, he couldn’t help but feel she might fumble due to the excess energy she seemed to be wasting.“Begin!” he commanded.The instant the order was given, Emma’s fist shot forward with blinding speed, moving even faster than her brother’s earlier strike.Boom!Her small fist slammed into the testing stone, sending a loud, reverberating noise across the arena, the white light surged upward, quickly passing the three bars, breaking into the fourth, and finally stopping at the midpoint.“Mid Fourth Bar. Passed,” Duran announced, his voice steady despite his astonishment.The crowd of mages erupted into murmurs and whispers.“Another mid-fourth bar? The Gordons are completely dominating this test, how are the rest of us supposed to c
1st Test 4.
With so many mages rushing to the stage to get tested before, Alec had instructed his team to hold back, preferring to let others show off first, he didn’t want his team stepping up too soon.And after nearly an hour of testing and eliminations, the number of mages waiting to be tested had dwindled to a few hundred, at that moment, Alec decided it was time for his team to finally make their move.Among the remaining mages, there were three Tier 4 mages from high tier clans which had decided to stay behind at the academy and had seized this opportunity to showcase their prowess. They became the first to light up the fourth bar, drawing gasps of awe from the crowd.While Alec might seem like a straightforward person, those who truly knew him like Arthur and Brandon understood that beneath his composed exterior lay a cunning, often shameless strategist. Alec always sought control over any situation despite never admitting to it, and his penchant for dramatic flair had clearly rubbed
1st Test 3.
The student, determined to make the most of his remaining chances, decided to apply the lesson from his earlier failure, this time, he clenched his fists without channelling any mana. The crowd, particularly those who believed themselves to be on the same level as the mage, watched intently, as none of them wanted to miss even the slightest detail, hoping to glean some insight for his own attempts. “Ahhh!” The mage roared, his fist flying toward the towering black monolith, a louder, more resounding thud echoed as his punch connected. All eyes followed the white light rising up the center of the stone, it surged past the peak of the second bar, filling the third completely. The light moved steadily upward, reaching close to the peak of the third bar before faltering and settling just shy of it. “Third bar, high rank, not enough. You’ve got one last chance, don’t be a disappointment,” Instructor Duran said from the side, his words toeing the line between encouragement and mock
