"We need to give word to the king that this is no ordinary mage," spoke Rn'd after they had searched the dungeon before making camp there. "He cleared this diamond rank dungeon by himself. He must be at least double my level."
The rest of the party nodded ashamedly, they were the best party in the whole country, comprised of the highest rank adventurers, and they couldn't even put up a resistance against this man and he had cleared a dungeon in a couple of hours that would've taken them a few days. Just what kind of a monster was he?

Yolen Arcanum
I nimbly dodged out of the way of the lightning bolt hurled at me by the boss, Tyr the storm king. He stomped again but this time I leapt up into the air, arcing around him to his back before unleashing a torrent of lord flame. My HP was the lowest it had ever been before, at 10,000 and climbing now. The good thing was though, thanks to my hellish fortitude, my health was steadily climbing back up into the hundreds of thousands. But this fight was fought in the fast track as each second that passed seemed to crawl by as I dodged lightning bolts and tried to hit the openings. I had raised my level up to 97 and fully expected to max out my job by the end of this dungeon. One thing that I was particularly proud of and happy to have was my current legion of undead giants that took some of the boss's attention away. They were still shambling corpses but they were those of giants and so were quite hardy.
The storm lord managed to get out of the way with only minor burns but launched itself into the group of zombie giants. He tensed his back for a second and I knew what was coming next so I froze the mana mid air. The charge building on his skin stopped and he was grappled by the zombies. They started ripping into him but he flung most of them off with his immense strength.
Using my skill I then created a spear, threw it at him with the immense strength lent to me by the mana I had. It impaled him through the side and embedded itself in the stone floor. I made another and threw it, then another. He was pinned by a few giant spears, thrashing and trying to move. Blue giant blood spilling across the room, I used the lord flame again.
A mighty roar bellowed out as his body was turned to ash.

'Awesome, a god's hammer.' I hefted the hammer and threw it, making it do loops in the air before coming back to me. I then placed it into storage.
I also wore the bracelet or bracer as it was called. I also remembered that I had a couple of Artifacts now that didn't have mana stored in them, the bracer that I had just gotten and the gauntlet.
These total bonuses brought my stats up to:

MANA STORED - 0/50,000
"Into storage you go." I placed the thing into storage. And looked back up at my stat screen. Deciding where to place my points.

After I set my ability points out there was a massive influx of intellect that I actually had to grasp my head in pain as I checked my stat window again.

"Woah.." I looked at my current mana stores and gain, if only the mp cost of arcane form was out of my mp reserve and not my absorbed amount, I would be able to run it almost indefinitely. For now though, I just wanted to see what I was like.
'Arcane form'
Suddenly the world around me was a burst of blue light and I could barely see. Until I realized that the light was just mana. I managed to filter through it to look down at my own body, thanks to the sky high intelligence stat.
Looking down at where my arms used to be, I saw a reverberating set of limbs, barely a coherent body, made of purple arcane energy with so much mana in it that I looked black.moving my hands around, I saw that the mana turned from black to purple and then to blue as it dissipated off of me.
I remembered the description of the skill.
ARCANE FORM - LVL 11
YOU GAIN THE ABILITY TO CONVERT YOUR PHYSICAL FORM INTO A BODY OF PURE ARCANE POWER, IMPERVIOUS TO SPELLS, INVISIBLE AT WILL, INCORPOREAL AT WILL AND PHYSICALLY POWERFUL. YOU CAN MAINTAIN THIS FORM FOR AS LONG AS YOUR ABSORBED MANA ALLOWS, ONE SECOND FOR EVERY MILLION POINTS OF MANA ABSORBED. WHILE IN THIS STATE, YOU CANNOT USE MANA ABSORPTION.
MANA COST - 50,000 PER SECOND
I then willed my body to be incorporeal and flew through the floor of the room. It really worked. I then flew back up, not fully comfortable with the feeling of being in a solid object. Good thing I did as well, considering that as soon as I flew completely out of the floor, the mana absorbed, ran out.
The world returned to normal and I continued to float just off of the ground. I checked my mana absorbed by unleashing it's full power. Not even a flicker. I quickly absorbed several million from the air, giving myself that extra boost again. Not that I needed it, those adventurers that were sent by the king couldn't stand a chance against me before, now I don't think they would even consider trying.
However, I became curious as to what my job had became exactly, the arcane lord was a grand title.
JOB - THE ARCANE LORD - LVL 136
THE ASCENDED VERSION OF -MANA WEAVER- MUCH LIKE HOW IF A ELEMENTALIST ASCENDED, THEY WOULD BECOME AN ELEMENTAL ARCH-MAGE. THE MANA WEAVER BECOMES THE PINNACLE OF SPELL CASTING, CLOSER TO A LAW THAN A BEING IN SOME RESPECTS.
Quickly, I checked my quest window as well.
LAW OF MAGIC

REWARDS:

It was going to give me an insane amount of points and an unknown skill? My curiosity was almost at its fullest point as to what that meant.
