"Thank you and goodnight, Madame Ais! Talk to you tomorrow, okay?" Maru said to the system when he could think of no more things to do. He finally let sleep take him away into the land of dreams after he saw that his world energy did not amount to a thousand. Hopefully tomorrow he could already buy the Armor Fabricator for Uwyn and his mother, was Maru's last thought.
"Affirmative, Maru." Madame Ais replied to its host. But her words were no longer heard by Maru. Only a child's snore resounded inside the modest hut.

"Shall we send a team to find them, chief?" a one eyed bandit who stood uneasily reported to a man who was seated on a big wooden throne. The chair was too big for his size but the man sat there as if he commanded the low lives under all of heaven."How long had they been gone, One Eye?" the man asked his subordinate. He never looked at him but continued to stare at the goblet he was holding. The dark robe he wore intensified the mysterious effect that he projected towards his lone audience."Almost three hours already, chief." One Eye Rodrek answered to his chief, Sakar. He was one of the few bandits who earned nicknames in their camp. Only the strange and the strong were granted the honor of having one. Thus, he was quite proud of his accomplishment. His name One Eye Ro
"What are those, master?" Chief Sakar asked towards the masked expert. He saw metallic braces same as what he noted on the silent companion of the boy. They were inside a magical sack that materialized with only a wave of a hand. This most probably came from a storage ring, he thought."As I said, it is a gift from the master. You may address me as Mistress Ais. Get one and put it on your neck, mortals." The masked boy replied to the enquiry of Chief Sakar."You heard Mistress Ais. Do it!" Chief Sakar shouted and a line formed to enact the command of their new superior. The fatal deterrence of the powerful assured a silent assent to the collection, both bandits and slaves. A total of 321 people."Yo
"Build a teleportation matrix at this position." Madame Ais instructed a newly purchased Builder Bot."Affirmative. Estimated time of completion 30 minutes." the Builder Bot replied in its mechanical voice. Madame Ais spoke no further and went out into the cold evening. Two familiar bandits stood guard outside the property. They neither made a sound or took even the slightest of movements. Both just looked alert and gazed unblinkingly into every direction. Like timeless sentinels on an immortal's castle. And when they saw Madame Ais step on air and receded from their vision, their countenance never changed. Even a bit of stimulus was not shown."How much world energy can this construct gather, Builder Bot 1?" Madame Ais asked when she arrived at an artificial underground
"Yeyyyyy! Wohhhooooo!" Uwyn yelled in an excited voice. She rode a mystical beast the resembled a horse with no wings but flew high above the clouds."Be careful, Uwyn! Don't move around that much!" Maru quickly chastised his sister. His magical beast took the form of a dragon but only reflected the size of Uwyn's summoned being. These amazing creatures were from the Automaton Factory that Madame Ais constructed five days earlier."Let's go down." Maru said after only 30 seconds of flying. They could have arrived earlier but his sister requested that they fly more as she enjoyed the feeling of touching the clouds freely."Welcome young master and young miss! I am Mirthal, a loose cultivator. How can
"Okay, Uwyn. But let me just get these boxes first." Maru said and was planning on doing something but was cut off by Uwyn's voice."Let me! Let me! I'll do it, brother!" were the enthusiastic words of Uwyn. She touched a ring on one of her fingers and the boxes suddenly vanished from their static placements."An interspatial ring!" Mirthal gasped inaudibly as he witnessed the abrupt disappearance of the boxes. These two were definitely from the major sects or the ancient families in this continent. Either of those was not one to be offended. They were the top influences that held supreme power in these lands, the true rulers on this piece of earth. He stood even more respectful towards Maru and Uwyn.
"Do you remember that other magic I taught you, Uwyn?" Maru said as he tightened his embrace unto Uwyn when she was about to turn her head to take a look at the commotion behind her."You mean that forbidden magic, brother? Yes, yes. I remember. But you said to only use it if my life was in danger. Are there bad people right now?" Uwyn asked her brother as her eyes grew bigger in alarm. She looked to her left and right as she tried to find the location of the bad guys."They're going to be here soon, Uwyn. I want you to use your magic and go to mom, okay? I won't be there to protect her so you should take my place. Don't let the bad people hurt mom." Maru instructed his sister."You can count on me,
Massive explosions raged all over the place that seemed to rock the foundation of the world. Unsuspecting people were caught out in the conflagrations of magic which did not show any signs of abating. Their remains will never be seen again as even their ashes were purged out of existence. The citizens of the nearby city felt the vibrations of the ground and fear crept into their hearts as the peculiar phenomena could be gazed from afar. The distant sky was thrown into a chaotic mix of colors. Calming lights strewn across the cindering flames of fury and on its embrace were the howling swirls of winds in combination with the muddy particles of rocks."SLOOSH!" beams of light were mercilessly flying in all directions. When the barrage neared the city, smoke arose in the dilapidated land masses in reaction to the destruction it caused. The flatnes
"Master, an urgent message has come from the City of Antavale." A body formed of hazy shadows lent a jade slip to a person who was sitting on a lotus position under a colossal olden tree. The person opened his eyes and the world suddenly turned quiet. The wind stopped its gales and the weaving leaves calmed. This person was a white robed youth who seemed to not be over the age of 20 at first glance. But when one looks into his eyes, they could see the vicissitudes of time revolving around that pair of enigmatic globes.The white robed youth looked unto the jade slip on his hands and seeped his spiritual consciousness unto the object. When he was done, an obvious frown marred his handsome face."Send Lukas to the City of Antavale." The white robed youth instructed the lone
