Chapter 10: Levelling UpAldrin considered getting the grandmaster with him to make a move but he knew that would put him in a negotiation disadvantage later on, moreover there was also the mission from his system, he wasn’t sure if it would count as a success or failure if he got someone else to do it for him.He pulled up his system interface and began to go through it again trying to see if he could find something useful, glancing through it for the second time he noticed something he hadn’t noticed before now, next to his title was a small inverted triangle.He clicked on the arrow only for a pop-up to appear.[Basic Title;Trash: Allows user to diminish his aura to the point where he is actively being ignored by everyone, placing him in a state of psychological invisibility. This state becomes invalid when use makes any drastic action.Duration: 1hrCool-down: 45mins]Reading through this Aldrin was stunned and didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.“So being trash actually has s
Chapter 9: Unexpected DevelopmentThe weapons and sealed scrolls were quickly distributed with enough to go round the three hundred-man team.“Jon, you can begin the raid, the rest of you get in position, you uh- what you’re name?” Aldrin began giving instruction but when he turned to the lady beside him he realized that he had no idea what her name was.“My name is Amara.” She replied and Aldrin nodded in acknowledgement“You’ll stay with me here.” He added.Just as the soldiers were about to disperse Aldrin quickly stopped them and passed a small device to each of the three team leaders, it was a small two piece device with one of them shaped like a comma while the other looked rounded but with a short handle.“These are communication devices, I might need to relay messages to each of you.” He said as he explained the device to them and immediately after they dispersed each taking position.Jon then led a team of fifty towards the gates of the fortress, each of them was armed with r
Chapter 8: Preparing to RaidHe spread out his spirituality seeking a creature or spirit he could contract.[Searching for contracts]The system notification resounded in his ears as his spirituality depleted rapidly, he could only maintain this form for so long.Just as he was about to give up when his spirituality was reaching critical levels he heard a notification and for the first time he couldn’t help but feel that the system had a very lovable voice.[A Fire Spirit is seeking to make a contract.][Do you agree to contract Fire Spirit? Y/N]Without hesitation Aldrin clicked on yes before he could see whatever notification was coming next he felt his astral body being dragged downwards at the speed of light and in no time he opened his eyes back in his tent, beads of sweat coating his forehead as a pounding headache attacked him violently, in exhaustion he collapsed on his back.He looked as though he had just survived a deadly battle but the light in his eyes was totally in cont
Chapter 7: Competition beginsAldrin returned to his clan compound and began preparations, the entire clan was in a state of activeness as discussion about the upcoming contest was on everyone’s lips.In a few minutes they were all gathered in a large colosseum, where each of the contestants and their forces were displayed as a show of might and intimidation.There were five including Aldrin, they were Akibrus Draca, Damian Draca, Orion Draca who was a step brother to Akibrus and lastly Azura Draca who was the only female in the mix.Amongst all five Aldrin had the smallest amount of forces with only three hundred and one warriors with the extra one being part of the resources he got from his bargain with the ancient gryphon clan,Following him was Azura who had a warrior count of a little over seven hundred following her was Akibrus who had a warrior count of a thousand men, Orion had one thousand two hundred men and Damian possessed one thousand five hundred men.This display also s
Chapter 6: Visit to the ancient gryphon clanThe carriage soon arrived in front of a pair of majestic gates of the Gryphon Clan. Two imposing stone pillars, adorned with intricate carvings of gryphons in various poses - soaring, battling, and guarding treasure - support a grand arch topped with a proud gryphon with its wings spread wide. The warm, golden stone, weathered by centuries, exudes the aura of great strength and deep heritage. Gryphon-shaped door knockers gaze out from either side, several glyphs adorn the pillars, and torch holders shaped like gryphon talons hold unlit torches. Flanking the gates, two imposing stone gryphon statues stand guard, complemented by armed, armored clan guards bearing the Gryphon Clan's insignia, standing before them Aldrin couldn’t help but feel as though the Gryphons would come alive the very moment there was a slight sign of danger which made the guards seem more like a decoration instead.As soon as the carriage reached the gates the formerly
Chapter 5: The SystemAldrin read through as he listened to the voice read into his head, basically it was just a summary of what he had read in the scroll his father gave him.“What are you exactly?” Aldrin asked feeling quite stupid as he didn’t know if there was someone controlling what he saw and heard or if they would even reply him.[I am the spirit system bound to you.] The voice replied him as the string of words before his eyes changed“Are you an ally?” he pressed further trying to glean as much information as he could and the most important of which he needed to know was to confirm if it was a symbiote or a parasite.[It is the job of the system to ensure its host grows stronger and more powerful so the system could be considered an ally to its host.] The mechanical voice replied in its monotone.Aldrin thought for a few moments, he didn’t know much yet but for some reason he felt that the so called system was akin to an artefact or a tool whose sole purpose was to empower
Chapter 4: Quest of AcknowledgementAldrin’s eyes opened slowly and light flooded into them causing him to close them rapidly with a light wince.“The young master has awakened, relay this to the lord.” A female voice suddenly called out and a figure dashed out of the room closing the door behind as she left, Aldrin slowly sat up and surveyed the room he was in and quickly recognized it to be his room.Not far from the bed was a table that was tidy and yet messy at the same time as a plethora of reading and writing materials were displayed across, aside from that table there wasn’t anything noteworthy of in the room, everything else was exquisite and yet simple.“How is your health sir?” A small lady approached Aldrin and tried taking his hand to feel his pulse but suddenly Aldrin stretched his hand and gripped her throat tightly threatening to strangle her.The lady trashed wildly while sobbing and begging for mercy but no matter what she did Aldrin didn’t release his grip on her nec
