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

  • White Tiger

    Aethan dashed forward at his fastest speed, cutting a straight line path towards the , his blades flashing with Runes simultaneously, sparking and weaving spells into reality seamlessly. He hadn't slacked off when learning Gale and Thunder spells, and he had successfully learnt two more spells tailored purely for attacking with his swords. The first spell activated swiftly, drawing Aether from the atmosphere to conjure several bolts of Thunder. These Thunderbolts then wrapped around Volt Edge, making the metal heat up and turn red-hot. And due to the metal having a good affinity for Lightning element and its variants, it easily absorbed the Thunder Aether, channeling its raw destructive heat for a powerful slash. In the next instant, Aethan swung his blade diagonally at the White Tiger, leaving red-blue afterimages behind. There was no pause in his movements. He swung the second blade vertically, delivering an overhead slash while shooting a crescent wind blade at the same time.

  • Calm Before The Storm

    A few days later, Merek and Aethan arrived at a wide plain, their eyes set on the massive structure standing alone in the distance. They stood at the edge of a cliff at least a hundred metres tall, but neither looked down to see how close to the cliff’s edge they were. How could they? The massive structure in the distance had taken their attention away. “It never ceases to amaze me,” Merek whispered to himself. He turned to the side to look at Aethan, and he wasn’t surprised to see him also staring ahead too, right at the structure, his eyes widened and his mouth opened subtly. Merek let him take in the beauty of the Eclipse Sect. After all, the building was worthy of such a reaction—and it was also where Aethan’s new life would begin. Just ahead of them, about six hundred metres away, stood a fortress. It had tall walls rounding its entirety—walls so high it rivaled a ten story building—with numerous ballistas and cannons lining some sections of the walls. There were no guards

  • The Rings' Secrets

    Merek went on to explain what the ring was and what it did. Turns out the bandit leader was a Solid State First-Circle Sorcerer, and not a Second-Circle Sorcerer like they thought. The Ring of Tidal Resonance was the cause of this. It amplified one's affinity for Water element and increased their control over it; so that's why his spells, though First-Circle, almost felt like Second-Circle. It also explained why Aethan never saw him use his Totembeast. He was quite expectant of it, wanting to see how he fared against a Second-Circle Sorcerer. “Aethan, do you know anything about Artifacts?" Merek suddenly said, snapping Aethan out of his thoughts. "Not much. Why?"Merek paused for a second, seemingly gathering his thoughts. Then he spoke. "An artifact is a powerful tool created by enchanting an equipment.”Aethan raised a brow. “Is that all?" He asked, confused, to which Merek shook his head. “Have you heard of… Primordial Artifacts?”Aethan narrowed his eyes, his mind churning

  • Shadow of The Totembeast

    The crimson waves around Aethan began to spiral in a calm, but tension-triggering manner, wrapping around him like a reaper's mantle.The bandit leader was crippled by fear, his pupils constricting into pinholes and his body losing all functions. He didn't even know when he shit his pants and began quivering like he had been dipped in a vat of ice. Cold sweat matted his back, his attempts at pleading for his life failing under Aethan's tight grip on his jaws. Merek watched this from behind, sitting calmly upon Ignaroth without moving a muscle; he couldn't care less if the bandits died. Their job was a risky one anyway, and they had just drawn the short end of the stick. What he was most interested in was the crimson aura revolving around Aethan, as it was a sign of a Totembeast being used. If Merek so wished, he could emanate a fiery aura reminiscent of Ignaroth, and burn opponents weaker than him, or strengthen his attacks with it. Now, seeing this display, he remembered the tal

  • Three Moves

    The destructive spheres closed in on Aethan, curving towards him like homing missiles. The deadly intent behind each one was as great as the other, and Aethan could literally see the sneer on the Water Mage’s face. He could make out what he was thinking, but Aethan was unfazed in the face of it all. He still had an arsenal of unused spells, ranging from Common, all the way up to Legendary. If the bandits thought they had him cornered, then they were in for a rude awakening. “Bl'u!" Aethan voiced out a Rune, and his Aether connected with the world, sparking a spell into existence. Gale and Thunder gathered above, morphing into a fierce spherical creation. Then just as quickly as it appeared, the air around it was suddenly compressed, and a strong electromagnetic wave was released from the electrical charges. These two procedures resulted in it creating a powerful suction force that affected the surrounding twenty meters! And the closer one was to the spell, the stronger the pull on

  • 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
