Chereads / Oberon / Chapter 3 - The Plan

Chapter 3 - The Plan

Every morning the Davis family would meet for breakfast and every morning the family had a great time chatting, laughing and  telling  stories of when they were adventurers, Alexander liked these moments and that's why he would  stops his training to spend time with his family

Jhon Davis was an intermediate level 1 mage and Ophelia was also level 1, sometimes Alexander asked their advice but the help they could provide was always limited

Alexander thought of going to school but he was still to young

After his breakfast Alexander went back to training with his instructor who had never met anyone so diligent

alexander trained so hard to protect himself and his family, the Davis family may have a 10.000-year history, having old monsters who protected the family but they were not safe

Soren also trained with Alexander and when he wasn't training, he built a secret base which was located in the mountain, the former lair of the black wolves, and filled it with... Chickens, yes chickens, because  a cow or an other ''big'' animal would cost much more and bring less experience points

Alexander bought other slaves, he wanted to create a team to do dungeons, the price of a slave was cheap because everyone could more or less master magic thus establishing a team of slaves to run a dungeon was a  common practice .

He also bought books on poison, you never know which opponent he could have, paralyzing him for a few minutes could allow Alexander to emerge alive.

his plan was now simple, attack the majority of bandits and the other gangs who were low level and with the money he will buy a lot of chickens to increase his experience points, evolve to level 1 and then do dungeons of level 0-beginner or 0-intermediate.

He was going to prepare several team of slaves to attack a dungeons and then sell the hides, elemental stones ect ... that he will find in the dungeon and little by little created his own organization

The hard part in this plan will be to select good recruits because each individual has a different capacity of evolution, the capacity of evolution represent the ease with which the magician can absorb the mana in the air

The easier the absorption, the lower the difficulty to evolve, otherwise a lot of elemental stones or other resources would  be used to facilitate the magician's evolution

Alexander therefore continued to train and attack groups of bandits and other gangs, three other groups fell , the tactics used were always the same:

First capture an acolyte and interrogate him  or try to buy information about the gang power

Second kill all the minions and leave the leader alive, make him believe that he will exchange his life for money and make him ingest poison

Third once the leader is in a weakened state and the money is at hand, kill the leader and disappear

Alexander began to make himself known because all the bandits killed had their throats cut and all their leaders ingested poison

Who says reputation says problem, so he stopped his hunt fearing a Trap in the next one

With the gold from the various bandits, Alexander found himself with more than 15,000 gold coins, he obviously bought chickens with it (10,000 gold coins 10,000 = 1,475,000 experience points per year) Alexander used the rest of the gold coins to buy good slaves, Lucas intermediate level 0 earth magician, James intermediate level 0 fire magician, Levi intermediate level 0 fire magician and finally Anita, beginner level 0 light magician  All magicians cost him 500 gold except Anita who cost 3500 gold

The magicians of light and Darkness were more expensive because of their rarity, he was lucky to come across a magician who could  heal  the wounds.

They had all been slaves because of the different wars that happened on Oberons, the different families, the guilds or associations or even certain independent and powerful characters started  wars constantly, Oberon was never at peace

Alexander had managed to charm his subordinates by promising to free them after 10 years if they did a good job for a level 0 magician who could live 200 years, 10 years was not a long time, he also promised to train them and teach them different spells if they work hard enough, maybe he will even help them evolve.

The subordinates were happy, Alexander was happy, it was a win-win relationship

with the cost of the different spells and armor and the fact that he could no longer attack bandits to make money, Alexander decided to go to a low level dungeon he could  attack wild animals and resell them or maybe try to find some rare herbs in the forest  but you never know what could happen in the forest,he could meet some  bad people or a strong animal , dungeons were safer

So another 5 months went by and Alexander mastered the art of the sword, at least the basics and he was now a level 1-beginner magician

Soren had also increased his level to level 0-intermediate, yes not everyone was as talented as Alexander, moreover, even his family did not know that he was already level 1, because of the respentine (plant ), who masks the energy of the person who ingest it 

After leveling up to level 1 Alexander couldn't wait to start the dungeons but who would agree to do a dungeon with a 5 year old? And even if someone accepted Alexander, would he accept revealing his secret to anyone ? would his family let him do a dungeon ? 

Alexander first told his family that he was going to hunt in the forest with Soren and his new slaves, it is a forest where the monsters were level 0- beginner / 0- intermediate close to the Davis residence, with 5 different slaves he wouldn't need guards anymore 

Once he was positive  that no one was following him, he ordered his subordinates to put masks on their faces.

Dungeon groups were generally made up of 5 peoples , 1 warrior to draw the enemy's attention and take the hits, 3 attackers who do as much damage as possible and 1 healer who heals and boosts his companions with different spells, although dungeons could be done with bigger groups, the participants wouldn't earn much

The dungeons were large underground spaces covering thousands of miles, in some dungeons there were even entire cities all the dungeons were controlled by the family who owned the land on which they were located, these families were tasked by the king or the family in power with  preventing monsters from leaving the dungeons, emerald was a large city and there were several dungeons.

The Dungeon they were going to do today was the rat dungeons, a level 0-beginner dungeons, very easy as it was a popular dungeon for beginners.

Near the check point set up by the jhonson family Alexander asked Soren to buy a big basket and hid him in it, once brought inside Alexander began his first dungeon.
