[Notice. New functions had been fully enabled and can be used as intended.]

"Finally, those max icons are gone and I can use all the functions properly now. Also, I do have affinity to all elements. This is great. Aria did say the benefits will be very satisfying. Too satisfying." Adrian rejoices in his thought.

[Notice. In light of Master obtaining mana, ARIA had made a gift for Master, so Master will never fall again.]

[ARIA initiating Gift to Master…]

[New Feature Gifted. ARMORY OF LEGENDS]

[Armory of Legends: Compilation of weapons of legends on Earth. ARIA manage to recreate those weapons after crossing Akashic records from Earth. Weapons need to be unlock by 'accomplishments', 'deeds' or 'sacrificing a life'. Be caution. Weapons from the armory are able to turn Etterra upside down.]

[Armory conditions met: Have mana flow inside the body]

[Unlocking: Durandal]

[Durandal: Sword of the legendary paladin, Roland. A sword that is so sharp and indestructible.]

[Special effects: Mana circulation +]

"What? Aria did you made this 'Armory of Legends'? So advance…. I love it. Thank you, Aria." Adrian said to Aria

[Responding. ARIA will only do the best for Master. ARIA appreciates Master's thankfulness.]

[Warning. Response from the 'Grimoire of the Fallen' detected. Threat detected.]

Adrian did not have time to react, the book flew up and one of the chains began to loosen, leaving 1 more chain that wraps around it. On one end of the loosen chain stuck itself on the back of the grimoire while the other wraps around Adrian's left forearm.

[Notice. Bonding between Master and God artifact detected. ARIA calculate bonding benefits the Master. Reducing risk and pain towards Master. Initiating… 'Bodily chemical manipulation']

"Argh… it stings a bit but manageable. Thanks Aria." Adrian thanked Aria.

The chains start wrapping on Adrian's left arm tighter and tighter while the book draws closer and closer to Adrian's hand.

The chains started to dissolve into Adrian's skin leaving behind a cool looking tattoo. When the grimoire is close to Adrian's hand it also starts to sink into his skin and leaving a tattoo.

The tattoo of two wings on the back of his hand, one devil wing on the left side the other angelic wings on the right side. All connected with the chain tattoo on his forearm.

"Sigh… I'm only 10 years old and I already had a tattoo. Kids, don't have a tattoo at 10 years old, it makes you look like a delinquent." Adrian made a remark.

[Notice. Hiding mark of bond between Master and Grimoire of the Fallen.]

"If you have Aria, by all means get yourself covered in tattoos." Adrian beamed a huge smile on his face.

He wants to test everything here but his family are waiting outside. He approaches to the runic walls and thanked them one by one then leaves.

Outside of the Magic Tower, the Cross family is still waiting for Adrian. It had been 30 minutes he still doesn't come out yet. The kids that enter the same time as Adrian had already come out 20 minutes ago. The adults are still calm but Marylyn is getting restless.

"Where is big brother? He will come back, right? Marylyn be a good girl. Please bring big brother back." Marylyn pleads her parents with teary eyes.

"It's okay darling. Big brother will come back soon. Don't cry. Look there he is now." Amanda wipes the tears on her daughter's eyes and points at Adrian who just came out.

"Big brother!!!" Marylyn runs towards Adrian.

"Hey Mary, why are you crying? Don't cry anymore. I'm right here." Adrian lifted his all grown up baby sister to cheer her up while walking towards his parents and Ralph.

"Sorry it took too long. I fail the incantation many times. My mistake I was nervous. Hahaha…" Adrian gives an unbelievable lie.

"It's fine. What matters is you finish awakening your mana. That's all that matters. Congratulations, son." Malcom congratulates Adrian.

"Wow, my baby boy grows up so fast. Now he is a mage." Amanda hugs Adrian and Marylyn who in on Adrian's arms.

"Congratulations, young master. I expect great accomplishments from you." Ralph bows and congratulates Adrian.

"Thank you everyone. Let's go back home." Adrian said.

Getting on the carriage, Ralph notice somethings wrong.

"By the way young master, where is the that book you bring with you inside the tower?" Ralph asked.

"Oh, the book… It disappear when I enter the tower. I took my time searching for it too. I gave up after sometime. It's useless for me any way." Adrian added more alibi on why he is late.

"Umm… Forget about that book. You need to focus on getting ready to enter the academy before you reach 12 years old." Malcom tells the news.

"That's right my baby boy, my little sister Erika is super excited to meet you. You can enter the academy on the year you will turn 12. Looks like you are a big boy now. Fufufu…" Amanda chuckled while came into a realisation with time.

"Umm… There is still 1 year and a half for you to prepare everything. Make sure it counts." Malcom added and extra reminder.

"What? Big brother will go? NO! Big brother will be with me." Marylyn hugs Adrian tighter.

"Don't be like that Mary. We will still have more fun. I will be with you." Adrian pats his little sisters head to calm her down.

Adrian looked at his parents and nodded. They want to calm Marylyn down before Adrian departure. This bro con little sister had the affection meter on the highest setting. Well, it is Adrian's fault. He made new dolls for Marylyn every year, each year gets bigger. He also always lets her stick around him. It will be a challenge.

[Updating Daily Mission 1]

[New. Daily Mission 2 has been issued]

[Strength exercise:0/1000 times] [Agility exercise:0/1000 times]

[Endurance exercise:0/1000 times] [Mana circulation training: 0/5 Hours]

[Sword training: 0/1000 repetitions] [Spear training: 0/1000 repetitions]

[Bow training:0/ 1000 repetitions]

"Wow… that is a huge advancement. Luckily, it just a guide. So, all the training had become free, huh? And mana circulation training is added. That make sense since I had Aria's gift, Armoury of Legends. That is also a headache. An 'accomplishment', 'deeds' or 'sacrificing a life'. I had a feeling I had to do something heroic or dumb. Let's just do this slowly." Adrian thought.
