Ramiel strolled nonchalantly while his mana was being concealed and repressed by his spell. Ramiel was using his golden eyes to observe their actions. A few were turning their heads as if something was watching them, and the predator instantly became the prey. As he walked past the innumerable people who had come to see him, he was careful not to attract those who had exceptionally keen senses because he could detect them. These people had been trained and had been honing their senses even before they woke up.
The group was surrounded by a sense of dread. One member rubbed his eyes and tried to speak, but as soon as he blinked, what he thought he saw was gone. Their team leader noticed the anxiety his members were experiencing as they used their skills to the fullest in order to spot the Silver Rank Ethereal.
The registered name he used to register for the assessment test is only known to the Ethereal League administrative staff. They were stunned to learn that he was a Liu Chen as soon as they saw his name. The group was soon assembled by the team leader to decide how best to approach Liu Chen. They were aware that this encounter might alter their future circumstances.
This new Silver Rank may present fresh chances for cooperation and promotion within the Ethereal League if it is in fact a bona fide family member of the Liu Chen clan. The team leader stressed the value of using care and diplomacy in their approach to guarantee that everything works out well for everyone.
Guan Yu Lie Chen is a powerful and wealthy Gold rank individual. He is the owner of Ethereal Defense Corp., a sister business that splits out from Fu Xi Shi's main corporation and is dedicated to creating weaponry to defend humanity against dimensional monsters.
He also has a powerful background in martial arts and is a master strategist. However, despite his impressive resume, he is also known for his calm and collected personality, often keeping a low profile and avoiding unnecessary attention. Even with the issues that happened concerning Ms. Eu-meh Fang, a famous actress aka Belinda, who before stated they were romantically involved, tragedy stuck when she lost everything and ended up being the mistress of a known Consigliere of the Serrano Cartel, His ability to maintain composure under pressure has proven invaluable in high-stakes situations.
Despite the scandal involving Ms. Eu-meh Fang, he remains focused on his mission to do what is right. He was seen fighting to save his employees when a dimensional rift opened near the Fu Xi Shi Corporation. He was seen killing a huge serpent with his martial arts skills.
His bravery and dedication to protecting others have earned him the respect of his colleagues, even in the face of personal turmoil. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the dimensional rift and his heroic actions have only added to his enigmatic reputation.
But now, with the appearance of another Liu Chen, a potential member of his very family, everybody knew they had to act wisely and cautiously, as the stakes were high and the consequences could be far-reaching.
All those who saw the Silver Rank registered name made a mental note to gather more information about Liu Chen and his intentions before making any moves. After all, in the world of the ethereal, one must always be prepared for the unexpected and tread carefully in order to avoid any unnecessary conflicts or misunderstandings.
The mysterious aura surrounding Liu Chen clan members only heightened the sense of intrigue and uncertainty among those who crossed paths with them.
Ramiel finally reached the outer perimeters of the Ethereal Assessment Building, and the entire place was swarming with reporters and Guild recruiters. Ramiel could finally be at ease gaining this much attention, which was the plan he intended to have. Now that the first step is done, he just needs to establish a guild, and the only way to do this is to follow the guidelines.
Ramiel used his resources to gather the needed information about the current structure of the Ethereal League western main office branch where he took the test. The Liu Chen clan has lived and stayed in different parts of the world before, and currently, they are residing on the Western continent, in country X.
Guan Yu, who was born in Asia but raised in the Western continent at age ten and studied in Europe at age 22, gained popularity as per grandpa Tang's instructions after his father died.
During this time, Guan Yu Liu Chen met Beom Choon-Hee, who would go on to become the first Ethereal League chairwoman of the Asian branch. Beom Choon-Hee was a Rank S wind Elementalist, and she looked up to Guan Yu Liu Chen, considering him to be his senior. Meanwhile, Elliot Dean, the current chairman of the Western branch, was resentful of Guan Yu because Elliot Dean was continually rejected by Beom Choon-Hee because he was deeply in love with her.
However, Beom Choon-Hee only had eyes for Guan Yu, and this secretly caused a rift between the two men. Despite this tension, Guan Yu and Beom Choon-Hee formed a strong bond as they worked together to protect the Asian branch from threats both within and outside the Ethereal League.
Guan Yu crossed paths with the young dormant wind elementalist named Beom Choon-Hee when they were both studying in Europe. From the moment they met, Beom Choon-Hee was in awe of Guan Yu and looked up to him as a senior. She was impressed by his skills, knowledge, enigmatic personality, and unwavering sense of justice, and she quickly became his admirer.
.
As they worked together on various social group activities, Guan Yu and Beom Choon-Hee developed a strong bond, and she became his trusted ally and friend. However, this friendship did not sit well with Elliot Dean, who was also a part of their 20-member social group they named the Silent Brigade,
Elliot Dean, who had been harboring feelings for Beom Choon-Hee for a long time, saw Guan Yu as a rival for her affections. He was resentful of Guan Yu and envied his close relationship with Beom Choon-Hee, which caused tension within the group they belonged to
Despite Elliot Dean's bitterness, Guan Yu and Beom Choon-Hee continued to work together seamlessly, using their combined skills and expertise to help those who were less fortunate and save many innocent lives who were trapped in war-torn counties. This was even before the dimensional rift started. They were part of the Greenpeace and Save Africa Foundation, and their group even secretly took arms to fight in the ethnic conflict in Northern Ghana in 1990.
Their group, the Silent Brigade, faced challenges and dangers head-on, never faltering in their duty to protect the innocent and weak. Beom Choon-Hee's admiration for Guan Yu only grew stronger as she witnessed his bravery and selflessness in the face of danger.
As time went on, Beom Choon-Hee's feelings for Guan Yu evolved from admiration to something deeper. She found herself falling in love with him, much to the dismay of Elliot Dean.
He could not understand how she could choose Guan Yu over him, and this resentment only fueled his jealousy and hatred towards Guan Yu even more, but Guan Yu was focused on other matters, and she knew this and respected his priorities. Despite Elliot Dean's jealousy, Beom Choon-Hee remained loyal to Guan Yu and continued to support him in his endeavors.
A few new members of this secret group even became Guan Yu Liu Chen's elite bodyguards; after he retired and left the leadership of the group to Beom Choon-Hee, these were Zixuan Xú and Hao-Yu.
She was happy to see him and even accepted the fact that his heart wasn't for her. Even after getting married to Amelia, she accepted this openly and chose to remain a steadfast friend and ally to Guan Yu. Her selfless devotion and understanding of nature ultimately strengthened their bond, proving that true love comes in many forms.
Guan Yu Liu Chen was already awakened even before the dimensional rift began, while Beom Choon-Hee soon, rank SS gained her ability a few days after the first rift opened and monsters poured out. As the situation developed all around the world, she was appointed as the first female chairwoman of the Ethereal Asian League main branch because of her contribution in protecting many lives on the first monster stampede, while Elliot Dean's connection and financial influence landed him the position of the first Ethereal League Western branch chairman in country X.
Elliot Dean was awakened, and level S made sure to add a twist by requiring each guild to also have a unique Seven emblem representing their values and beliefs. This added layer of complexity made it challenging for any registered Ethereal to just start a guild team.
But Ramiel had no choice but to play by his new complicated, peculiar, and baseless rules, According to the president's new instructions, Ramiel had to find seven primary members for the guild in order for it to be established. Ramiel disliked the president, but he knew he had to follow the rules to succeed in creating his own guild. These seven were the sub captains, and there might be an infinite number of members under these seven.
Ramiel understood that building a strong foundation for his guild was crucial to its success, so he set out to carefully select the seven primary members. He knew that these subcaptains would play a vital role in shaping the future of the guild and attracting more members to join. Lucky for him, he already has the perfect candidates. Alpha, Beta, Echo, Delta, Sigma, Gamma, and Sierra. They just need to pass as living beings.
While Guan Yu was sitting in his office at the Ethereal Defense Corp., he received news of a new Silver Rank. This made him happy, as he knew that this was Ramiel because the description fit him perfectly. Although he may be a man of few words, what makes him unique is his close relationship with his family. From the moment he first saw Amelia and experienced love, he made sure to open his heart to the only person Amelia had ever cared for before—his son Ramiel. Since Ramiel had received a blood transfusion from Grandpa Tang, he was now formally a member.
Ramiel was an admirable child even in the absence of this; Guan Yu admired him for his intelligence and strong resilience in the face of all the challenges that he and his mother had faced in the past. This attracted him toward the young child, and when Ramiel felt unconscious, his heart silently froze. However, as soon as he woke up, Guan Yu gave the evolving young man an open hug.
The complexity of the Liu Chen clan members was unusual for Western cultures, as people there typically express their feelings via their actions rather than words. Ramiel was embraced by Guan Yu as if he were his own son, demonstrating his genuine affection and respect for the young man. Guan Yu's actions spoke louder than words. The Liu Chen clan members' distinct method of expressing their feelings through deeds rather than words enhanced the complexity of their interactions and relationships.
A growing number of creatures were reported to be entering Earth in small but significant numbers; if left unchecked, this could cause great harm to Earth's biodiversity. As a result, they needed to establish a contingency plan and find a suitable location to house this growing concern. The task of doing so now falls to the new managing director of Fu Xi Shi Corporation. Many issues that were predicted to arise in the future were gradually becoming more pressing.
At the same time, in the largest city, a few miles from the Liu Chen residence, Mrs. Lin Siniang Zuo was talking on the phone about the reports she sent to her boss, Guan Yu, toward the person managing this facility. She was organizing and setting up meetings with key figure at the protected and secured forest underground facility to discuss the potential benefits and challenges of relocating the creatures from the facility. To another place
She emphasized the importance of acting quickly to prevent any further damage to Earth's biodiversity. When a familiar face casually walked into her office, Lin Siniang was ecstatic to see the young man she used to play with walking towards her with a sweet and carefree smile on his face.
Ramiel gestured at her with his hand, pointing out that its ok he can wait. Until she was done talking on the phone, Lin Siniang waved back and gave Ramiel a thumbs up.
It was a simple gesture but this was a common practice for both of them. Even the guards that were protecting the building knew who Ramiel was and were given instructions to let him be. Interacting with the members of the main clan was forbidden, and most foreign employees were given proper training on how to handle situations like this. However, Ramiel was not your average man; his biometrics when entering the building were at an administrative level.
The biometric DNA matching scanners at the Fu Xi Shi Corporation and all throughout their other facilities and establishments were the most secure and advanced in the world. This level of security made it nearly impossible for anyone to impersonate Ramiel or gain unauthorized access to the building. Despite the strict protocols in place, there were rumors circulating about Ramiel's true identity within the corporation. But these people never dared to question him, as he could directly access sensitive information and had the power to terminate their employment. The fear of repercussions kept most employees from digging too deep into the rumor's surrounding Ramiel's identity.
This was the fifth time he came to the main office, so most people who worked there saw his face and just minded their own business, there was no point in getting suspicious of anyone who had the authority to enter Fu Xi Shi Corporation.
Ramiel sat on the sofa situated in front of her table, a stack of documents was spread out on her table, Ramiel casually smiled as he remembered these moments were he used to help her in her office work, seeing her become more proficient in managing and using her desktop computer puts a smile on his face, the coffee table in front of the sofa was also filled with documents, Ramiel saw the forest protected area located in China, the place was under the management of the foundation to whom was connected to Fu Xi Shi Corporation, the Chinese government just signed documents stating that this huge plot of land and all the fauna and Fiona residing in it was not protected by law,
this is how powerful and influential the Liu Chen clan was, no government personnel could even question their authority, the Chuàngshǐ rén had power over the emperor himself before, and the turbulent history of China was not planned nor influenced by the Liu Chen clan, they never indulge in games and entertainment,
Beta and Echo saw this while they were inside his dimensional Void, Lin Siniang never persuaded him to know anything, nothing was off limits for him now, so while talking on the phone she just, gestured to Ramiel to flip the document and continued to read, Ramiel saw what was the real reason, his Father was having an issue with the growing number of dimensional refugee in their facility,
Ramiel is hesitant to open another dimensional gate toward Arcane because doing so would cause another massive rift. He has already spent a month on Earth and misses Hilas and Irles. He also wants to see his second mother and needs information regarding his request to his godmother regarding an artifact that would lessen or exclude the mana from Arcane to escape his gate and affect the entire planet. Beta suggests that Ramiel think about the benefits of having more employees working for him.
He was just busy, but these issues still linger in his mind. He still has human emotions in this new, physically refined body of his, despite his Chaotic origins. As he navigated through the complexities of his dual existence, he couldn't shake the feeling of longing for the familiar connections he had left behind on Arcane.
The weight of responsibility and emotional turmoil continued to tug at his heart, reminding him that even in his new form, he was not immune to the struggles of humanity.
He flipped through the documents, grabbed a pen that was on the coffee table, and wrote down something on a piece of blank paper. He recalled all the available rune language in his mind, isolated certain rune spells, and calculated all possibilities and outcomes. Writing these rune spells on the paper was already creating some new magical wave of energy.
One note was on the coffee table: Regarding the parameters of frequency, by Dr. Mikhail Artyom . The note detailed the specific frequencies needed to activate each type of energy, each type of energy corresponded with an output, this was already tested and confirmed by Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Now, with the introduction of magical energy, which was still an uncharted domain, for him, it was still energy.
Dr. Artyom had always been fascinated by the concept of energy and its various forms. He had spent years studying the laws of physics and experimenting with different frequencies and their effects on matter. His research led him to discover the existence of magical energy, a type of energy that was not yet fully understood by the scientific community. In his note, Dr. Artyom outlined the specific frequencies that were needed to activate the different types of magical energy. He had categorized the energies based on their outputs, which he had tested and confirmed through his experiments.
This was not a new concept to him, as he had always believed in the interconnectedness of all forms of energy and how they could be manipulated and harnessed for various purposes. However, the introduction of magical energy added a whole new layer of complexity to his calculations. It was not just a matter of finding the right frequency but also of understanding how this new type of energy interacted with the physical world. Rune spells, in particular, were of great interest to Dr. Artyom. They were just another form of energy, a conductor through which magical energy could be channeled and controlled.
With his knowledge of frequencies and his understanding of magical energy, he was determined to uncover the secrets of rune spells and their potential uses. As he continued his research, Dr. Artyom couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and wonder at the possibilities that lay ahead. He was breaking new ground and pushing the boundaries of what was known about energy. His note on the coffee table was just the beginning of a journey that would lead him to even greater discoveries and advancements in the fields of energy and magic.
With each new revelation, he was still far from unravelling the mysteries of the universe and tapping into its limitless potential, without the authority to control and manifest this energy, it's still going to be hard. Scientists can only understand things based on their own observations, they were looking at them in a realistic manner, like atoms colliding against each other and producing large amounts of energy. However, the true power of energy and magic lies beyond what can be seen or measured by scientific instruments. Only by embracing a more open-minded and intuitive approach can one truly harness the full potential of these forces.
Ramiel was seeing a pattern and used the knowledge he gained from the rune spells to write it down on a piece of paper, allowing him to tap into the unseen energies that science could not explain. By combining his scientific knowledge with his intuitive understanding of magic, Ramiel was able to unlock a new level of power and control.
He recalled that the transfer gate they created that was on the land of Acrane used the same rune-carved spell on the very granite pillars going up the arch gateway, the spell of those gates was to shorten the distance to each point of origin, allowing for instantaneous travel between the two locations. This discovery revolutionized the way Ramiel approached his magical experiments, leading to even more groundbreaking advancements in his research.
The energy from the rune spells began to swirl around the paper, creating a faint glow. As he finished writing, he felt a different but still mild surge of power emanating from the written spell, indicating that his calculations were correct. The only thing that was missing was to test out his theory within the void.
Rune spells were a different class of magical energy wavelengths. It does not tear open space , it just shortens the distance. Ramiel thought, What if he opens a small rift and reconfigures the energy to open from within his void and uses the rune transfer gate to connect to his void so no energy coming from the twelve realms would enter Earth? It will just remain in his personal void.
Beta could not hold her excitement as she came out of the void, took the piece of paper, and looked at it. This shocked Lin Siniang, as Beta came out of nowhere and just appeared suddenly. Ramiel recalled that he did mention all of his abilities to most members of his family, seeing it firsthand might be a different experience for them.
He wondered how they would react to witnessing his powers in action. Ramiel gestured to Lin to calm down Ramiel extended both of his hands with the palm facing outward and the fingers slightly curled, as if gently pushing something away. As he communicated with her to remain calm and not over escalate the situation as she was still talking on the phone,
Lin Siniang was already standing up, while the other person on the other line was still talking, seemingly unaware of the tension in the room. Ramiel could sense Lin's frustration growing, but he knew he needed to handle the situation delicately to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding. Ramiel noted that it was better to actually let his entire family see what he could really do on a large scale.
He decided to take a deep breath and approach the situation with a level head, knowing that his actions would speak louder than words. Ramiel was determined to show his entire family that he could handle the situation with grace and composure. But as of now, testing his findings must be a priority .
