Chapter 1 Begins

Next Chapter

This is a tall tower where mages live, the tower made of cyan stone is straight and tough, the inner walls are carved with black paint and whitewash, and some very old decorations are hung on the wall, adding a bit of simplicity and elegance to this mage tower.

In one of the tower's rooms, Sean was haphazardly shoving his changed clothes into his closet.

The bright sunlight slanted through the cracks in the fence window, casting thick lines of light and dark on Sean's face, making him squint.

Carefully pinching the two Mithril coins sewn into his clothes, Sean took one last look around.

It's not a big space, but it's neat, the furniture is in order, every corner is wiped spotlessly clean – this is Sean's room.

The owner of this mage tower is named Lauren and is a level 19 mage. Eleven years ago, he adopted Sean in the slums, and Sean followed him as an assistant for eleven years.

Lauren has always regarded Sean as his student, taught him a lot of things, and is not stingy with the collection of books in the tower, always letting Sean flip through it.

He hoped that Sean would soon become a mage to pass on his knowledge, as his time was running out.

A mage is a type of professional.

A professional is a transcendent who takes his or her profession as the center, uses the soul as the source of power, and combines the power of the soul with the ether to control the world.

The hierarchy of professionals is simple.

Levels 1 to 9 are called apprentice levels, and levels 10 to 19 are apprentice levels, and once you reach level 20, which is the official level, you will be able to master the power of terror and no longer be bound by the rules against ordinary people.

Rank is the grading of the soul, and by carrying out behaviors related to one's own profession, the soul will be constantly polished and strengthened in the process, and the professionals will continue to strengthen their souls, and in the process, they will also gain more and more strength.

This is the Plane of Faeron.

Here, there are six mainstream classes, namely mages, warlocks, and priests who belong to spellcasters, and warriors, rangers, and assassins who belong to warcasters.

And Lauren is a level 19 apprentice-level mage, and he is also considered one of the most powerful professions in the vicinity.

With Lauren's protection, Sean could learn about spells in peace until he was able to take charge on his own.

But now, Sean had to get out of the tower quickly, because just ten minutes earlier, Lauren's failed attempt to break through the formal level and the news of his death in the laboratory had spread throughout the tower in a short time.

Sean had no doubt about the allure of a level 19 mage's entire wealth.

He knew that several of the great nobles in the nearby city of Teresa had coveted this for a long time, and by the time the news spread, Sean had already seen several servants sneak away.

Soon, a large crowd will surround the place, and after some confrontation and fighting, they will divide up the relics left by Lauren and settle some of the troubles.

For example, Lauren's student and assistant - Sean.

As an ordinary person, Sean has no way to resist, and in order to avoid such an outcome, he must get out of here as soon as possible.

Quickly pushing the door open, Sean ran quickly down the spiral staircase, rushing into a narrow hallway around a corner.

On the way, he saw some servants desperately trying to put valuable things into a huge burlap pocket, and the servants' faces were full of excited smiles, which suddenly struck him as a little ridiculous.

Sean didn't think that those vampire-like nobles would let someone else take even a little wealth away from them, and no matter how carefully they scavenged here, they would only end up making wedding dresses for the nobles who arrived.

The Mage Tower is more than ten kilometers away from Teresa City, and according to the running speed of normal people, it takes about an hour to reach the city, and it takes a while for the people in the city to come over, so Sean still has more than an hour to evacuate.

To be on the safe side, Sean doesn't plan to bring anything bulky with him, so as not to slow down his movements or attract the attention of others, which could put him in danger.

What's more, compared to the two Mithril coins that were sewn into the clothes and only Sean knew about them, the value of the other things was not so high.

Running quickly along the route he remembered, Sean soon saw a small inconspicuous door.

Push the door and go out, and there is a forest not far from the door.

Sean took a breath of fresh air outside, and a cold rush entered his lungs, lifting his spirits.

It was about six o'clock in the morning, and the early morning sun was shining through the trees, forming small round spots on the ground through the gaps between the leaves.

The dew on the leaves slowly evaporated in the sunlight, and the traces of last night's rain were being erased little by little.

Sean walked briskly towards the woods, which were not large enough to lead to the city of Theresa and the rest of the city, and that was where Sean was targeting.

The wild is very dangerous, and he is still an ordinary person who does not have much combat power, so although it is possible to be discovered by taking the big road, Sean still chose this direction.

What's more, it has only been less than twenty minutes since the news came out, and Sean can take advantage of this time to leave safely.

Before coming to the woods, Sean took a closer look, and then found a barely passable forest path from the verdant green.

Stepping on the creaking leaves, Sean reached out to break away the branches that stood in front of him and walked through the trees......

Perhaps because so few people or animals have walked through it, the greenery spreads wildly, taking up every inch of available space.

"What a sound." Sean frowned and stopped his progress.

He faintly heard some strange noise in front of him, which made him slightly alarmed, Lauren's mage tower was inscribed with runes to expel beasts, and it was common sense that no large animal would get too close.

"Apprentice Spell - Coma"

In Sean's stunned gaze, the chanting of the incantation sounded, and a white light suddenly flashed in the woods in front of him, slamming down on Sean, who had no time to dodge.

A strong feeling of dizziness came, and Sean only felt that his brain was extremely heavy, and his body fell limply to the side.

A coma unleashed by an apprentice-level mage!

Before he fell to the ground, Sean's remaining consciousness could barely judge the attacker's class and spells, but unfortunately now he had no way to do anything.

It is difficult for a single ordinary person to resist against an apprentice-level professional, especially in the case of a sneak attack, the result is even more suspenseful.
