"So Mr. Butler do you know anything about Robert? ",Alex asked as they were walking along the hallway to Robert's office.
"it may seem as a surprise but Mr. Robert prefers to keep his past a secret. It is a mystery to me also,sir.",the Butler replied as Alex followed him.
They had reached the room and The Butler knocked the door and opened it.
Robert was typing on his phone and closed his phone when Alex entered.
"great let's get started. Are you ready? ",Robert asked.
"more than ever.",Alex grinned.
"first, we need to decide your class, it is your affinity to elements. Element like water,fire,poson,etc.elements don't define your ranks among the reawakened but they are a very important criteria. ", Robert explained and handed a chip of paper to Alex.
"touch it",Robert replied to Alex's puzzled face. Alex touched and a notification popped upped in his system. Alex clicked the system and read it.
"So what is it? ",Robert asked
"Um, a fire and water type affinity. " Alex replied. Alex realized he didn't want to shock the old man that he had a affinity to all elements.
"not unusual,but if you raise your addiction it ,you might become a formidable opponent.",
"probably",Alex replied with a weak smile
"now let's get to the next part. Skill start:tunnel creation", Robert said and a oval shaped rink with a black area had been created. "it is one of my skills and I call it tunnel creation. It is a cave I create for beginners but since not much magicians enter it I am sure there might be a lot of mana for you in there. So be sure to enjoy. By the way lot of people have died in there." Robert pushed Alex into the entrance.
Alex entered the door to a lush green forest. Not much he expected of a cave.
Alex looked around the forest the door had remained at it's place but there was a time limit on it now.167 hours 59 minutes... Approximately 1 week I suppose Alex thought. He needed to search a open place first, so he wandered off in to the forest. Minutes later Alex found a place with shrubs and a pond. He rested under a tree and the first thing he thought was that how he could Train. Robert didn't even teach him saying or two how about levelling up.
Alex clicked into the system and checked it and clicked on the book with an 'i' symbol on it .alex found a search button on the top and typed "levelling " in it a box popped on it and the it opened.
"there are various methods to level up ,you can use an artifact or a rune to level up or you can even train . The closer your surrounding is related to your affinity the faster you level up. Similarly, the closer your training device, artifact or rune the faster you will level up. "
Not much help Alex thought as he closed it and wondered how he could trained. He hated the idea of being a mage he wanted to be something cooler like a swordmaster or someone who was physically stronger . Standing behind the lines and casting spells wasn't exactly his type. However Alex couldn't think of anything other than meditating. Because it seemed the only sensible way to level up now as a mage. Alex sat with his legs crossed and and his hands joined touching his chest. Taking the process of a breathing in and out. Nothing happened for a long time. Alex took a step further and imagined mana flowing through his surroundings as he closed his eyes. It was at this moment that Alex notice a board pop up to his left. Another word popped up. It was the system.
~mana-0.01~
~mana-0.01~
The boards popped up each second and Alex grinnned.
"Time to level up "
--X--
7 days had passed. Alex had kept a tally of the days in the tree barking which he rested. By this time he had become more manly and brute than ever. His shirt couldn't fit him anymore. So all his muscles were just flashing in the sun, he didn't like that. Other than that only his hair grew a little long. He didn't find anything to cut it. He had even put up a schedule thought it was pretty simple. All morning he meditated and once it became night he ensured his survival.
He took the bamboo and shredded it and surrounded himself and the area near the pond if it would make a lot of noise he knew it was a large monster. He didn't hunt it, he wasn't ready. He just scared it in the dark because they couldn't see properly. The probably came to drink water. early morning he huntedd small animals and cooked it. He had sucessfully created a fire using two stone which he later kept it for future use. When the sun was high and the crickets made noises he could start meditating until it was dark. He would remain so still even a bird or two would perch on him. When he mastered a better meditating form the box that popped up changed.
~mana-1~
~mana-1~
all his stats had eventually escalated pretty fast after he had received a daily quest for physical fitness so by the end of 7 days his bio was somewhat different.
{ALEX}
{LEVEL 576}
{PHYSICAL STRENGTH -1978}
{MANA -3457}
{INTELLIGENCE -95}
{AFFINITY -ALL TYPES}
{TITLE -DARKLORD}
He had to admit he had probably become a little bit more powerful than Robert but even he was too weak because masters position in the ranking was 99 not at one. so he was probably a lot weaker than many people.
When Alex returned to Robert's office he told Robert everything except his stats. He never asked it, and it was better keeping it a secret.
He had to agree that his title was badass though.
