Bandits
Aethan landed nimbly on the ground before Ignaroth, shifting his gaze to one of the bandits—who he assumed to be the leader—their eyes locked in a furious exchange, neither looking away nor blinking for a second. The bandit leader tensed upon sensing that Merek was of a higher Circle, but him not moving gave him an idea of what was going on—or at least, what he thought Merek was thinking. He believed that Merek was using them—the bandits—as training for Aethan, thinking that if things went south he could swoop in and save Aethan. However…'Cocky bastard,’ the bandit leader thought, his expression not hinting at his cunning thoughts. ‘He'll be dead before you can even think of moving!’Then suddenly, both exploded into action, erupting with attacks that even took the other bandits off guard.Where was the signal?! Hadn't they all planned the attack together?!— Those were the bandits’ thoughts.Unfortunately, their leader had seen something dangerous, and he didn't believe the newbie
The Green Forest
Aethan woke up to the uncomfortable lurching of Ignaroth, looking up just to find the night sky out with millions of stars twinkling in its infinitely wide expanse.He redirected his gaze and found Merek sitting across Ignaroth's back, his eyes focused on the road.Merek turned his head slightly, sending a glance towards Aethan before focusing ahead again."How's your head?" He asked, to which Aethan simply shook his head and sat up properly. He knew his brother was just messing with him, as nothing was wrong with his body—just a little fatigue that more sleep could alleviate."Where are we?" Aethan asked after noticing his surroundings.He looked back, staring at Mt Veyrun, remembering all that had happened within it—the dungeon stages and how he had almost lost his life.Truth be told, the moments where his life was at risk had forced him to tap into a latent potential he didn't know he had. Although the knowledge gained from the first dungeon level had given him the necessary ideas
Otherworldly
Aethan flashed forward in a line of blue and silver, his blades cutting forward even faster. BOOM! He was blasted back by an unseen force, leaving him to cough out another mouthful of blood. His Aether rushed through his body quickly, mending his wounds as fast as it could, but... it wasn't fast enough. Aethan's prowess took a downward dip, and his next attack failed to even begin before he was flung back again. He grit his teeth and got up, blood dripping down his form, his eyes glowing with an intense crimson light. 'Whatever it is that is behind the veil of dim light, cannot attack,' Aethan deduced swiftly as the cogs in his mind rattled. He noticed that the attacks so far where just flares of the beings aura, not tangible or elemental attacks. Even the spell used earlier was mental, having no physical form. In spite of that, Aethan couldn't do much. If he foolishly charged in without a proper plan, then he was basically handing his head on a silver platter. 'Still, there is
The Voice
A familiar white space welcomed Aethan—to his surprise; but unlike the previous white spaces that had an orb floating midair at the center by some mystical force, he found nothing.He took a few cautious steps forward, crouching as he moved and preparing himself for anything. For all he knew this place might be dangerous, having hidden traps that could put his life in danger.Aethan inched closer to the center of the white space, taking note of where he stepped and how many steps he took. As soon as he got close enough to the center, a flash of light forced him to close his eyes, and he didn't hesitate to retreat a few steps back, his Aether churning.His blades appeared in his hands like they had been there all along, and Aether circulated in the next second, activating their Runes.Aethan dropped into a defensive posture, his feets spread apart, his knees bent slightly, and his swords raised before him. Volt Edge flickered with sparks of lightning, it's penetrative amd destructive p
Rewards (3)
Aethan looked through the rest of the rewards and was surprised to find a set of clothing within it. The clothing laid in a corner inconspicuously, looking bland and easy to ignore.He hesitated before taking it out cautiously, checking out its design with intrigue. Just like most equipment he had come across, the clothing had Runes shimmering on its surface as his finger tips traced over it. Its material was soft to the touch, but when he tried piercing through it, Runes flashed unceremoniously across its surface, blocking his attempt at destruction.“Interesting," Aethan muttered, taking a liking for the regalia immediately. If he remembered correctly, this was the attire worn by royalty—not the usual royalty of his world, but the royal family of the Stormcallers.Aethan immediately put on the black cloth, letting its tight, comfy material stick to his body. He felt his physical capabilities elevate by a few percent, and a smile unknowingly crept up his face. Satisfied by what he
Rewards (2)
Aethan picked up the third scroll, activating the Runes on it as he returned Volt Edge into his Space Ring. He had successfully enhanced Volt Edge after the second try.The Runes on the blade now glowed with a brighter light when activated. Its sharpness was elevated to another level, and above all, when Lightning or Thunder Aether was channeled through it, it amplified it by a certain margin, boosting its destructive and piercing power.It was only a First-Circle weapon, but it was certainly sharp enough to cut an average Second-Circle Sorcerer if enough force was put behind it, and the Second-Circle Sorcerer in question didn't possess a strong defense.Aethan watched as the second Enhancement Scroll burned away. Silent Fang had been enhanced once, but the second Enhancement Scroll had failed, unfortunately. “Hmm." Aethan's brow furrowed as he studied the Runes on Silent Fang.They looked… familiar to him, as though he was seeing them again after a very long time. He had wielded Si
