Chapter 10: Last Strike
"Shit! What am I going to do now?" Ezra yelled as he watched the jagged shrapnel closing in fast on his position."Think! Think Ezra, think! Finally!" An idea struck him like.He immediately set to work, closing his eyes while standing perfectly still. He forced himself to ignore the whistling debris that was now dangerously close to his skin.Ezra began circulating mana rapidly throughout his body while simultaneously drawing in even more energy from the surrounding world. He pulled more and more power into himself, and in the process his physical body started to overload from the sheer pressure of the intake.That was when a sharp piercing sound echoed through the air as the shrapnel reached point-blank range.Snapping his eyes open, Ezra thrust both hands outward with a desperate roar.A violent burst of translucent energy erupted from his palms, hitting the projectiles and sending them flying away in every direction.Almost instantly Ezra collapsed onto his knees, breathing heavil
Chapter 9: Fire and Blood
The plan was fairly simple.All Ezra had to do was venture deep into the Volcano Forest, concentrate hard to cultivate and awake a fire affinity. Everything had been going smoothly until a Level 4 Magic beast with both Earth and Fire attributes appeared."How is this even possible? How did a level 4 beast find its way here and how can it actually wield two attributes? This is absurd! Why am I always stuck with the worst kind of luck?" Ezra felt like crying inwardly but the magic beast in front of him would not give him that leisure.The beast wasted no time to get in the offensive again, launching a powerful attack that sent Ezra flying. It then stood still, eyes locked on, watching as its target slowly pushed himself off the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. As if to taunt him.Now standing barely five feet away from the elemental wolf, Ezra took deep, controlled breaths, circulating his mana in an attempt to steady himself."Damn it! How am I supposed to fight such a crazy beas
Chapter 8: Confrontation
The next morning, Ezra woke up in high spirits, enjoying breakfast with his mother as they chatted at the table."I was thinking of going out to look for a job so we can have enough to eat," Elise said, her voice laced with worry.Ezra frowned. "Don't look so down, Mum. Things will change for us soon. And don't worry, you're not alone—I'll start looking for work too.""No!" Elise objected immediately. "I don't want you stressing yourself over household matters. Let me take care of them.""Mum, nothing you say will change my mind. I've already decided, and I promise, I won't do anything dangerous or exhausting," Ezra insisted firmly.Elise sighed. "Honey, I know you want to help, and I appreciate it. But there's hardly anything someone your age can do.""Yeah… because I'm useless." Ezra's voice dropped, and he abruptly stood up from the table. "I'm heading out. I'll be back late."Before Elise could stop him, he stormed out of the house.---Ezra wandered through the bustling streets,
Chapter 7: Ignition
Chapter 7: The Library EncounterEzra Mohr stepped out into the bright morning sunlight, a new fire burning in his chest.Ezra could not stop his mind from racing."Which elemental affinity will show itself first?" he wondered.After ten minutes of brisk walking, Ezra arrived at the heavy wooden doors of the town library.He took a deep breath, pushed the doors open, and stepped inside.The air inside the library smelled of aged paper, dried ink, and polished cedar. Sunlight filtered through the tall stained-glass windows, casting long beams across towering shelves.Ezra walked deeper into the back aisles where the magic manuals were kept.He skimmed his fingers along the dusty spines of the books, reading titles in quick succession. Most volumes covered standard theory.Finally, two thick tomes caught his eye.The first was titled Introduction to the Use of Fire Magic. The second was a thin, leather-bound volume titled Basic Pyromancy Incantations.Ezra pulled both books from the she
Chapter 6: The Broken Seal
"Ezra! Wake up!"A voice echoed inside Ezra's mind, snapping him back to reality."Ugh. My head," Ezra groaned, pressing a trembling palm against his forehead. A dull ache pounded behind his eyes, and his chest felt bruised.He blinked again, trying to clear the haze in his thoughts. He could have sworn someone had just yelled his name, but the bedroom was completely empty.Then, Ezra shifted his weight, and a loud, wet squelch came from beneath his back.A repulsive, rotten stench hit his nostrils, making him gag. He looked down at his body and recoiled in horror.A thick, jet-black sludge covered his skin.The foul, greasy substance had soaked through his shirt and pants, pooling on the floorboards around him. It oozed from every part of his body, mixing with cold sweat to form a disgusting coating. His tongue even tasted bitter, as if he had swallowed poison.Ezra sat frozen for seconds before realization hit him."Is this what I think it is?" Ezra whispered, his heart pounding.He
Chapter 5: First Steps
Ezra's head felt heavy."Damn that old geezer," Ezra groaned, his voice a weak rasp.Next came the sound of quiet, desperate sobbing.A soft, trembling voice broke through the thick fog in his mind."Ezra? Oh, gods! you're awake.""Mom?" Ezra whispered, his throat dry."Oh, Ezra! My sweet boy!" Elise Mohr cried out.Guilt crashed down on him like a heavy rock.Elise continued to sob against his shoulder for several minutes. Slowly, the heavy weeping turned into quiet sniffles. She finally pulled back, wiping her wet cheeks with the back of her sleeve.She looked down at him with a mix of fierce love and rising anger."Why did you go into the woods?" Elise demanded. Her voice cracked with raw pain. "Were you trying to get yourself killed, Ezra?"That was exactly the plan, Ezra thought bitterly."I'm so sorry, Mom," Ezra said softly, looking directly into her eyes. "It will never happen again."Elise let out a long, shaky breath. Fresh tears pooled in her eyes, but she blinked them back
