A mage in the making: Unlocking my mage system-Chapter 37: A brewing invasion?

The moonlight beamed poorly, illuminating the darkness of the pocket dimension dimly. Walking alone underneath the cold night was a figure that seemed to be on fire. The fire emitted a golden essence, brightening a small fraction of the desert as the figure traveled with a quickened pace. Chuck felt extremely weak and tired, only wanting to get to the shelter and sleep off. It had been an extremely long day with the fighting of beasts, and the near death occurrence — it all took a heavy toll on Chuck’s mental health.

"My energy is low, and I’m feeling tired as fuck. If I get fed up, I’m going to absorb the rest of the crystals, I don’t even care about the stupid event at this point."

Chuck dragged his feet across the sand, every step he took left a scorch mark on the soil as the infernal shroud on his body seemed to decimate every thing it came across. He thought back at the fight he had with the goons that were sent after him. After a long debate, he decided to bury the Cube’s body underneath the desert sand, hoping it would get eaten by the beasts.

"Even with this system, I’m still too weak. They really killed me didn’t they? So why did I survive? It has something to do with the foreign energy residing in me, but I still don’t understand any of it."

The only knowledge Chuck possessed was the fact that the Harelm energy that gave him the system belonged to a race called the "immortals" . The system hinted it out to him on several occasions, making Chuck theorize that there was an alien race that also used magic, except the energy in question wasn’t mana, but Harelm energy.

Chuck was as clueless as one could get, not finding any information about the energy on the internet. There didn’t seem to be any information of sorts regarding any race called the immortals, and it really baffled Chuck.

"What happens when people figures out that I don’t use mana. I’m pretty sure they will be able to sense it if I activate any skill close to them. Since the energy I possess is from an immortal race, does that mean that I am immortal?"

Chuck’s mind raged with questions, eager to get answers to satiate his worried mind. He walked for a while before he could feel the change in the environmental condition, making his surroundings feel more cool as the waft of flowering plants reached hit his nose.

Chuck looked forward, he saw the dry aridity of the land wither away, as it got replaced by massive shrubs. He advanced even further until the sight of the shelter came into view. He quickened up his pace, heading further with the last bit of energy he had. He could feel the infernal shroud depleting away, until it completely died down. The bright glow on his being vanished, Chuck’s visibility reduced greatly.

Chuck still kept his quickened pace until he was eventually at the shelter. The feeling of safety overcame his being, and all he wanted to do at that moment was to shut his eyes and doze. But he still had some things to deal with.

Asking for directions he found his way to the medical center, hoping to see Kaiden. With a short direction from the weird receptionist, he went to a particular room in the emergency section. He opened the door to meet a sleeping beauty, who still managed to look attractive despite her miserable state.

She laid on the bed, sleeping softly as her silver hair synced perfectly with the white sheets that she slept on. Chuck took deliberate steps, advancing inching closer to her slowly. He stared at her in a daze, her enthralling perfection was in a perfect view. Wild thoughts slowly crept into Chuck’s mind as he felt his pants stretching outwards. He held on to his cock tightly, trying to regain composure. Deciding to let Kaiden rest up, he left her room, heading out of the medical building.

He headed straight to his private inn, hoping to have a long moment of peace, solitude, and tranquility, taking his mind off the chaos that unfolded earlier on. With one huge crash on his bed, he slept off peacefully, drifting off.

In a grandiose chamber, a man stared out into the city, taking a perfect view of his kingdom from the high tower that he stood on. His facial hairs were grey, signifying his old age. He wore a golden blazzer that swayed calmly as the cool breeze slid past his being. He raised his hands, taking a sip from his cup as he stared out. The city seemed to be filled with golden shimmers of energy, making the atmosphere tainted with a golden hue.

The man heard quick footsteps coming from behind, but he didn’t turn around. He kept his calm stance, taking small spis from his chalice occasionally staring directly at the golden beam of the sun.

The footsteps seemed to slow down as they came closer to the man, followed by a female voice that echoed softly.

"I’ve brought news for you, sire."

The man lowered his hand, dropping his chalice on a stand beside him. He turned around gazing at the female before him. She stood with both hands behind her back, her head lowered, making her pose seem like that of a servant.

"Speak," the man said with authority. Every body movement he made seemed to influence the golden shimmers, making them swirl softly around his being.

"We’ve found the location of the energy of the nexus crystal. It took some time, but we managed to track down it’s energy, revealing the exact plane it crash landed into," the female spoke with a low tone, still keeping her head lowered.

"Plane? Are you trying to tell me that the residue energy of the nexus crystal isn’t in the golden plane anymore?" The man asked, the golden energy around him seemed to swirl even more violently, reacting to the brewing rage he had.

The female felt a hint of uneasiness as the violent energy skimmed through her being, "the energy appears to have bursted out of the golden plane, going into the dark plane."

"Energy split apart, heading into different planets. We’ve managed to trace the energies, identifying the planets the residue energy is located at."

"Then stop beating around the bush and speak!" The man yelled, his expression turned darker.

"There are six different planets that now host the energies of the nexus crystal. Planet Columbus, planet dorach, planet horld, planet vagar, planet nascar... And planet earth."

The man’s dark expression lessened, replaced by a look of astonishment as he spoke.

"Planet earth you say, what a coincidence."

"It makes things easier for us, sire." The female said, a grin could be seen on her face underneath her lowered head.

"Ohh yes it does," the man said, "send word to the other elders."

"It seems like we’re going to commence our invasion a decade earlier than planned."
