2024-10-29 19:42:56"This cabin was built for you, to be specific a waiting place for you," the old man added.
"Eh?"
Red was stunned and don't know what to say. He was flabbergasted and confused, how did they know that he will be here?
Is this all a scheme? Was the death of his dear friend, Ienze, part of this scheme?
His eyes turned crimson as he remembers the death of his friend, the anger and hatred that was hidden deep in his heart once again resurface and took control of him.
But this time he did not hear the tearing sound from his soul, his heart beats fast as if it was racing instead. The blood in his veins felt alive. Every drop seemed to have a life of its own. He could feel the power in his blood, a tremendous power.
Seeing the scene in from of him, the old man panicked. He quickly explained himself.
"Kid, don't get me wrong, an oracle told us that"
Red calmed a little but his eyes are still crimson.
The old man put the seasonings on the pot.
"Err, perhaps you don't know what an oracle is," the old man inquired seeing there's not much change in Red.
"An oracle is someone that has the power to peek at fate. Of course, what an oracle can see is limited and sometimes won't happen or will happen at a very long time," the old man continued.
"Also, peeking at fate is not an easy task. It cost a lot."
"In order to peek, an oracle must be on top condition and after an oracle finished peeking he, most of the time, will be injured or sometimes die, especially if they looked beyond where they were allowed to."
"The truth is, you're not the only one who got here, there were two others actually, but they were injured and are hard to cure and they died just a few days when they were here."
Red calmed down and looked at the old man confused. "Why were they injured?" he asked in his mind.
Seeing this, the eyes of the old man twitched, then he cast a look to Little White.
"This forest is filled with beasts, most of them are dire beast but there few magical beasts"
"The strongest beast is around rank four, and the only safe place is this cabin because they dare not approach it," the old man said with a ferocious look.
Red was once again confused. "How are the beast ranked?" he asked.
The old man looked at him and wondered what backwater place did he came from to not know the basics regarding cultivation.
The old man took a deep breath and started to explain.
According to the old man, there were nine power stages and each stage as you progress is harder to reach than the last.
There are two ways to cultivate, the first one is by absorbing mana from the surroundings and the second one is by strengthening the body so it will absorb mana naturally.
The former is required to understand mana and the elements. Then create a medium in the spiritual space to store them. The medium is called mana core. But forming a mana core is not an easy task as it requires a high amount of spirituality/spiritual strength.
Spiritual strength cannot be obtained, it was innate to anyone, only, the spiritual strength of everybody is not on the same level. Some have weaker spirituality that is not suitable for the former, while some have stronger spirituality.
Of course, you can strengthen spirituality but it comes at a great cost and there is a limit on how much it could be strengthened.
After the creation of the mana core, you must carve a spell model near the mana core in your spiritual space. The spell model allows you to cast a spell almost instantly, the requirement of carving a spell model is spiritual strength. For every spell model, the carving is only done once, of course, unless you want to improve it.
Those that have successfully created a mana core and spell model are called magus. In addition to creating a mana core and carving a spell model, a magus must also train the body to become stronger because mana will corrode and destroy the body.
Though the process of becoming a magus is extremely complicated, the power of a magus is also terrifying.
As for the latter, one does not need a medium to store mana in the spiritual space because it will be stored in the body, to be specific, to every cell of the body.
Storing mana in the body is easier than the former. One does not need to comprehend mana and the elements, they only need to train their body then their body will automatically absorb mana in the surrounding. Then they will create a Will. Will is a type of intent that will allow you to use mana without using spell models.
There are many types of will, for example, the Swordsman's Will, this type of will makes you powerful when you are using a sword, of course, you can also conjure a sword using mana.
Those that use the latter method are called Body Refining because they refine their body through harsh training.
Though they are powerful, they still pale compared to the magus but their strength lies in their number. Unlike being a magus, a body refiner has no requirements regarding spirituality.
The old man also discussed the beasts.
There are three types of beasts. The Dire Beast, The Magical Beast, and The Immortal Beast.
The Dire Beasts are like Body Refiner the only difference is that the Dire Beasts have no will but still, their power did not pale in comparison to the Body Refiners.
Then the Magical Beasts, this type of beast is rarer than the Dire Beasts. They can be compared to the Magus, they can also use mana. The only difference is they cannot use all elements as they will, they can only use elements that are innate to them.
Then the Immortal Beasts, the Immortal Beasts only live in rumors and legends, till now there are none sighted or recorded.
Beast also comes in stages from stage one to stage nine, and every stage is stronger than the last. But most of the beast has a growth limit, depending on their parent or ascendant.
A stage one beast is called rank one beast, a stage two beast is called rank two beasts, and so on. But a stage nine beast is called a Beast General.
In addition to all of these. The nine-stage, whether beast or humans, is divided into three levels, the Low, the Mid, and the High. The low level is from stage one to stage three, the mid-level is from stage four to stage six, and the high level is from stage seven to stage nine, and in every level, there is a qualitative change in mana and spirituality.
As the old man finished explaining, Red remained silent but excitement can be seen in his eyes.
"How can I become a magus," Red asked.

"How can I become a magus?" Red asked. He was eager because part of him is telling him that he should become powerful. Or else, he would not know how he would die, and, aside from that, he would not be able to get revenge for his dear friend. "Not so fast young man. Let us first know each other" Red turned red from embarrassment. He was a little rash to ask, they did not even know each other's name yet. "I am Red, and this is Little White," Red introduced himself and Little White to the old man. The old man gave Red an odd look. How can Little White be little, his size is definitely not little. He is comparable to an oversized bird. With a wingspa

Right at the moment, Red finished testing the link between him and Little White, Kane came and asked him, "Do you want to become a magus?" Red excitedly answered, "Yes." "I forgot to tell you, there is a level beneath the nine cultivation stages. It is called the novice stage." "In the novice stage, you will be called novice magus, and a novice magus does not have a mana core. But, they still can cast spells, but it is so weak that sometimes it even fails." "But that does not matter, a novice is not called a novice for no reason. It is the preparation to become a magus. A novice's job is to familiarize mana, how it works and how can it be used or how to use it to trigger the elements." <

"Clear your mind of all thoughts and let consciousness flow to your spiritual space." "This is not meditation. So, at all cost, try not to sense the mana and the elements in the surroundings because they will bring you to your meditation world," Kane warned Red sternly as he emphasized the word 'do not.' "Just let your mind go blank, it shouldn'
The Master of Fate Chapter 9 - Traveling
It took Red a week until he fully mastered the spells that he wanted. Unlike other novice maguses, every time he casts a spell, it is guaranteed that it will not fail unless someone somehow manages to disrupt his rune or someone manages to tamper it. At this time, Red finally made up his mind that he will travel to the kingdom of Middle Earth. He was confident that he could somehow protect himself without exposing Little White. He wanted to treat Little White as his trump card. But traveling is not easy. The distance alone is not something that can be trifled with, thus, he plans to slowly explore the outskirts of the kingdom's territory. And, if he was fated, he would be able to enter, and if not then that does not matter. He took the dagger from the cabin to protect

After the fight, Red discovered that his Spiritual Space has grown in an insignificant amount. He can also tell that the water in his Spiritual Space is a bit clearer than before. At the same time, every time he enters his Meditation World he can see the orange light clearer, which indicates that his understanding of the fire element has gone deeper. Red resumed his on his route towards the city. And, after a day of walking, he could already see the city from afar. Along the way, his sack bag has become bulkier. Aside from the spoils from the Three-eyed Grey Bear and the Dark Wolf. There are also spoils from his fight with the other beasts but these beasts barely reach rank one and were barely enough for him to sweat.

After selling his spoils, Red decided to take a look at the mission board and choose one, if there are suitable missions for him. He prefers escort missions because aside from getting to a new city, he can also get paid, killing two birds with one stone. The Mission Board has nothing in it except the papers that contain the mission. There is nothing eye-catching, it looked plain that of a normal board. Red scanned the papers with his eyes, some missions requested to hunt a beast. There is also a request to find a certain herb, to kill someone, to guard a residence for a short period of time, and of course, there are also escort missions. He scanned the escort missions and he discovered that the name of this

After Red finished applying for an Escort Mission from the Mercenary Hall, he returned to the Green Bamboo Inn. As the name suggests, the inn has a vintage style and was surrounded by bamboo. The bamboo provides shade in the yard so the customers can relax and have fresh air. The food is served meticulously, all the waiters are finely dressed and are polite. The inn offers various services, they offer a normal room, a room with a courtyard, and a courtyard with 3 rooms connected to it. Red rented a normal room. He opened the window and told Little White through the link to enter. In a few moments, Little white entered and looked for a place to perch while Red took a bath and wash all the dirt off his body.

The convoy formation will consist of four carriages, one for Abiel and Lily, one for the goods they will deliver along with the bodyguards, then, two for the mercenaries. The carriages of the mercenaries will be on the vanguard and the rear.

Red flashed, but he underestimated the beam. He was hit by the shockwave and gained some injuries that were healed in a matter of seconds. However, before Red could get a breather, another beam was launched towards him. “This Bastard.” This time, he had learned his lesson. He flashed at the same time that the beam was launched. This simple action is not simple at all. It is hard to predict when will the beam be launched. If he flashed ahead of time, the eye will definitely hit him. At the same time, it was also the same if he is a bit late. Fortunately, Red had foresight. Pfft! Then again, there is another one. And again, Red dodged. This went on for a while. T

Both sides suffered many deaths. At the same time, although Red’s forces won, they are not in a good mood. They are grieving for their dead companions and family members. “Everyone, the war has always been cruel. However, I would like to express my sincerest apology. If not for me, none of them should have died in this manner.” At this time, Red is not merely talking. This is indeed what he felt.

Or perhaps, it even surpassed the ranks of a Divine Weapon. Of course, whether it really surpassed the ranks of a Divine Weapon or not, Red would not know. At this moment, the Token of Fate in his spiritual space vibrated as it wanted to leave. “Eh?” Seeing that, Red took it out. Then, in the next second, the vibration becomes a lot more intense. After which, an illusory figure of a middle-aged man appeared. The man is not someone familiar to him. At the same time, he doubts that the man is from the current era. “Hmm.” The man looked up and scrutinized the sky. “It had already reached to this degree?

If Red cannot survive his attack, he cannot learn the spell and would die instead.However, to his surprise, Red appeared at his back and commended him.“Woah, that’s a lot of spells.”Red’s eyes were gleaming.“Old man, how generous of you.”Cough!As the old man heard that, he coughed out blood.

However, in consideration that you are against me, you will die. I will burn your branches to ashes.”Despite the taunting of the Shade Binder, the Tree of Knowledge is not a Tree of Knowledge for nothing. Just like an old man that was full of knowledge, the three of knowledge are calm and patient at all times.“Blood Forest!”It counter-attacked the spell of the old man.In an instant, the surrounding of the Tree of Knowledge turned into a forest of blood.

At this moment, Red’s talent in forging was displayed by the extraordinary abilities of the weapons that he had forged.With the weapons, on their hand, it was rather easy for them to brave their ordeal.Meanwhile, the Galleon of Destiny also kept attacking some of the weavers making them into the passive side. At the same time, those that were targeted by the Galleon of Destiny will either be injured or dead.At this time, Luna had decided to join the fray. Thus, she sat cross-legged and took out the weapon that Red forged for her. It was like an orb. Then, on a closer look, one could notice that it has patterns akin to the moon.Unlike the weapons of the five, hers did not need physical contact. All it needed is to control it from her visions.With a thought, the moon orb flew out of the Galleon of Destiny and into the sky.As it rose higher, it also grew bigger.

Red’s breakthrough is a thing that the Threads of Fate will not allow.Why? The two binders also did not know. And, there is nothing they can do about it.Well, they are hoping that the Time Binder will let them know; however, they cannot support Red because they are under the control of the Threads of Fate. Furthermore, they also want to break free from the Threads of Fate but the key to their shackles is in the Galleon of Destiny which was owned by Red, the heir of the Time Binder.Indeed, their situation is very complicated.
