[ Status Tab]Name: Alec GordonsRace: HumanLevel: 3Tier: 1 [low tier]■ Exp till next level : 489/500[ Attributes ]Strength: 9+Agility: 11+Endurance: 8+Mana: (100/100)Affinity: Earth (high)+, Fire(high)+Available points : 3System points: 259He realized that he was not far from level four and was going to have an extra 3 attribute points, He had been contemplating where to put his free attribute point.He had left his attribute point untouched, hoping that there would come a time where he would need it.Ever since his agility passed the ten mark, he found out that not even the zombies could scratch him.He was basically untouchable to the unclassified and (low) Tier 1 zombies because his agility stats not only improved his foot speed but also his battle awareness and reaction speed.It made him realize things much easier, Now he was sure on how to improve his next stats he planned to increase both his strength and endurance stats to reach the ten mark and see what might happen.But before that, he had something much better to do, He planned to evolve one of his level 0 golems to officially enter the (low) Tier 1 realm.This would give it the same power as a (low) Tier 1 mage, With the equipment Alec would craft for the new golem, it wouldn't even have a hard time exchanging blows with a (mid) Tier 1 mage.Alec made his golems spread out in a semicircle as they kept on killing zombies and acted as vanguards, Meanwhile, he turned and faced the Lanzt clan members." You all are required to shoot at least one wind blade every minute to relieve the stress on my golems and clansmen " Alec said."Not only that, but it will help you recover your mana much faster, After all, someone is helping you keep them at a distance.""And why should we listen to a Gordons family member on what to do?" one of the arrogant Lanzt family members shouted from the back, not brave enough to show his face.The white-haired boy's who was leading them felt his lips trembled as he cursed the person who talked in his mind."Well, I don't mind breaking out of here again and waiting for your men to run out of mana, while the zombies make you their meal," Alec retorted."After all, our mission was just to kill all the zombies in this area to the point they are no longer a threat, We never received any orders to protect some arrogant second-generation children who can't handle their own battles."Alec said in a very harsh way as he looked at the zombies that were almost overwhelming his golems with their sheer numbers."Hey, assist the golems with your stone bullets!, Don't just stand here and look like an observer, If I lose even one of those stone golems, you'll have a handful from me, After all, I spent a lot to raise them to this level,"Alec said, facing his clan members who broke through the zombie encirclement with him.Agnes' lips trembled, but she listened to his orders like the rest and started releasing stone bullets.Most of them might think Alec was talking about the materials and techniques he used in cultivating the golems, but they were dead wrong.Because Alec could just make another golem to replace one that spoiled, but they wouldn't have the same battle awareness that these ones, who learned the spear techniques had.And definitely, they wouldn't be close to killing 100 zombies and be eligible for evolution, So Alec made sure not to lose any of his golems as they were close to Tier 1 golem realm already.Stone bullet was one of earth element's most valuable spells as it required less mana and had almost instant casting, making it easy to learn and use.As long as they kept their circulation technique on while using stone bullets, they might never run out of mana.But it was only useful against unclassified zombies, Higher-level zombies had harder skin, and the stone bullets of Agnes and the rest wouldn't be able to penetrate their muscular armor, let alone hurt them.However, if someone has cultivated the stone bullet magic skill to a high level, then it might pose some threat to tier 2 life forms."Errm, can I talk to you for a moment?"Brandon asked Alec as he nervously moved closer to him.Alec wrapped his hands around Brandon's shoulders and looked into his eyes."We are family, I don't think you should have any problems telling me what you want to talk about,” Alec reassured him as he drew him closer for a brotherly hug."I'm not good with the stone bullet spell, even my casting takes time, I'm more of a vanguard type of mage, just like your golems," Bradon said."Whoa, you're one of the few mages I know who are interested in wanting to throw their life away instead of just raining down spells from a distance,"another Lantz family member said, But Alec looked at him with such cold eyes that he shut up instantly in defeat, not daring to say anything more.He waited to hear what Alec would tell Brandon from his group from their group.Alec used his inspection skills on Bradon after hearing what he said.[Gordon Bradon]Level : (Low) Tier 1 ( 70/100 )till next realmRace : humanBattle power : 75Affinity : Earth (peak)[ specialised skills]-Earth spear (lvl 4 )- Earth compression (lvl 2)Alec was surprised when he saw Bradon's affinity for the earth element, which was at its peak.It was an eye-opener for Alec, as he had been unaware that there was a level beyond high affinity, Clearly, there would be others in the outside world with peak affinity as well."Kid, you're talented, You can stand at the front with the golems, I'll make sure they give you space so you can join up near Titan," Alec said."That way, you can be protected, I don't want to lose a golem, but I would hate myself even more if I lose a clan member," he added.Bradon's eyes welled up with tears as Alec's words touched him deeply."Don't hesitate to use your earth spear spell, After all, it's the spell you're best at," Alec blurted out."How did you know..."Bradon began to ask, wanting to know how Alec knew about his best spell, But Alec cut him off, not giving him a chance to speak, realizing he had revealed something from the information provided by the system."As the leader, I must know about all my future partners,"Alec quickly replied, using his lying skills."Now go demonstrate the power of the Gordon's younger generation,"Alec patted Bradon's back as he sent him away, He looked at the others and noticed that despite being greatly outnumbered by the zombies, his group was still able to hold their own.With Bradon joining them, wielding a large sword made from earth elements, their killing rate increased.Meanwhile, most of the zombies were being slaughtered by Titan, It couldn't even be called killing, as he was able to take down multiple zombies with a swing of his mace or a dash forward with his shield.[ Earth Golem ]Name : TitanLevel : 5 [ can be upgraded (740/1000)]Realm : (Low) Tier 1Rank : rareStrength : 25Agility : 14Endurance: 22.[ skills]× Mace mastery lvl 3× Blocking mastery lvl 4× spearmanship mastery lvl 5 ( does not belong to Titan must use a spear constantly to assimilate properly with this skill)The improvement Titan had witnessed was shocking, ; he was even stronger than Alec now.Leaving his own master in the dust, Alec didn't know much about the level system, but he was sure that Titan was close to being a mid-tier one golem.With the attributes of his crafted earth weapon, Titan might even be able to go head-to-head against a peak-tier one zombie.In this moment, Alec finally witnessed the power of having a higher-ranking golem, It was like a genius among other golems, capable of jumping realms to fight those stronger than itself.Alec wasn't too worried about his own spear skills since he had witnessed their improvement, Titan already excelled in mace mastery and blocking mastery, so there was no need to make him drop his mace for spearmanship.Turning to the Lanzt family, Alec was finally ready to confront them."Now, are you all ready to listen to me, or should I turn my back and wait for you all to die so my boys and I can take all the credit for wiping out the zombies you must have weakened further?" Alec threatened them.Before any of the Lanzt family's younger generation could show their ugly attitude again, a guy at the front walked out and extended his hand for a handshake."Hi, my name is Bryan Lanzt," the white-haired boy introduced himself."I'm Alec Gordon, Are you sure your guys are ready to cooperate?" Alec shook his hand."Yes, after all, we can only survive this by working together," Bryan replied."Don't be too sure of that," Alec said, smirking, which gave Bryan the feeling that he wasn't bluffing.

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.

He was truly curious about what was happening because he had advanced to level 5 rapidly.He was aware that he received a bonus exp point from every enemy his Golems killed, but the rate of improvement seemed unusually fast, as if there was some additional assistance involved.Except for Titan, who was capable of killing multiple zombies at once, the other Golems didn't quite measure up.

"Wow, no wonder we never got attacked by Tier 1 zombies, It must have been because they were protecting something or someone," Arthur exclaimepointing out to the seven approaching zombies.As the mixed group of strength type, agility type, and defense type zombies ran towards Legion, they tried to intercept his charge towards whatever it was they were protecting.Alec pondered to himself, "Hmm, it seems this (Peak) Tier 1 zombie can control those weaker than itselt, It looks like that old man, wasn't lying when he said hierarchy is strictly followed among zombies."The Lanzt family watched in awe as Legion finally dashed forward to face the seven Tier 1 zombies that were rushing towards him."How can it be so strong?, Am I hallucinating? ,Please, guys, tell me I'm the only one seeing what's happening at the moment," Sheila Lanzt asked in disbelief."Unfortunately, I can see it too, This is one of the reasons I never wanted to be enemies with that guy, I still feel like he's hiding so

"Kerrrae...rkkkk!" the (Peak) Tier 1 zombie shrieked, its eyes shining red with rage as it dashed towards Legion."The fuck!!!" Alec exclaimed as the zombie charged towards Legion. It was at that moment that Alec realized he had been foolishly underestimating the danger of a (peak) Tier 1 zombie attack. He had thought he could easily handle it, but now he saw just how wrong he was. He couldn't even keep up with the lightning-fast movements of this (peak) Tier 1 speed demon zombie, if he was the one facing the zombie he might have been diced up countless times Legion, on the other hand, remained unfazed. With its circular shield in front and a spear by its side, he patiently waited for the zombie to collide against its defenses. But things didn't go as planned. The zombie quickly changed its movement mid-run and attacked from the side instead, abaddoning the frontal charge it had initiated.

" My Turn!" Legion broke his stance and thrust his spear towards one of the afterimages circling around him, resulting in a loud metallic clash.The exchange between Legion's spear and the zombie's claws revealed the clear victor as the zombie's body was sent flying, and shocking the mages on how he had been quick to find the Zombie.Without hesitation, Legion chased after the zombie, that was still flying and unleashed a series of fast spear thrusts. Though the Zombie attempted to block some of the strikes, it couldn't defend against them all, leading to bloody spots appearing on its body, as all of Legions strike had landed.During each attack, Legion used his left arm to push the shield closer, causing the Zombie's own attacks to rebound and forcing it to take several steps back.Before the Zombie could recover, Legion swiftly slashed towards its head, with the spear tip horizontally."It seems Legion has incorporated Titan's mace techniques into his fighting style again, This gol
The Golem Mage Power stones & Power crystals
The Patriarch of the Lanzt family was already sweating profusely, a clear sign of his genuine fear upon seeing the new golem.Most people in the city tended to underestimate the Golem Path Mages of the Gordons clan , thinking their battle powers were inferior to those of traditional mages And assuming that if they didn't have a Golem to match their realm, they are just useless.That's why even though the Gordon Clan had reached the same realm as the city lord, nobody really feared them because it was believed that none of their "Big 3" golems had upgraded to Tier 7.Upgrading a Golem to the High Rank Realm was incredibly difficult and required a significant amount of special treasures, potentially draining a family's treasury if not done with caution.Tier 7 was considered the domain of high-level mages, and throughout history, the Gordon Clan had only few members who had successfully nurtured a Tier 7 golem. However, George Gordon's rise to power had been different, causing the othe

However, the families and clan of the mages in the city can't stop talking about the details of the attack. Everyone were well aware that the Gordon's Clan outperformed the other families, clans and was rewarded the highest prize for their participation in the hunt.The hunt was initially organized as an exercise for the younger generations of the families, and clans as they believed the horde posed no significant threat. But now, due to entrusting the younger generations with this task, two big secrets have been revealed. First, it is widely gossiped that the Gordon's family's young master is a rare genius, a talent not seen in a thousand years.

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

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
