Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

From MC’s Perspective:

The Zero puppet is ready to explore the forbidden area. Then I brought the puppet outside of the well. I warned the puppet to collect resources only.

If the place is dangerous, there is no need to engage in dangerous activities.

“Master, I will find the resources,” After saying that, the puppet left the spot. I watched the puppet’s back as it was leaving. The puppet was not an ordinary puppet.

If I had the chance, I should visit the inheritance place to upgrade the puppet. The Zero puppet’s help is needed in this hostile magic city.

Then I pushed down the thoughts before going inside the well. I don’t know what’s going on with their side. I had thought life at the Silver Tower would be peaceful.

Yet I’m facing the familiar situation again; it reminds me of the True Elements Society. Once again, I found myself as the target of others.

“I’m on the run again,” I uttered in anger, leaning against the wall.

The good memories of the Yellow River Academy and the True Elements Society come to mind. Slowly, the pain fades away. A smile appeared on my face.

“After leaving the Yellow River Academy, I didn’t look back. I forgot about my family and friends,” I mumbled.

“I wonder what they are doing right now?”

“Senior sister Carolina!”

“Senior brother Gilbert!”

“The Taboo Hall girl Lara,” I uttered the names as I recalled the memories.

Most importantly, I couldn’t forget the crippled old man who saved my life.

Then in the True Element Society, Elder Paul Lin and Supreme Wizard Phylia. Then Cory Anderson from the Anderson Family. I’m grateful for their help.

But I’m not going to visit them until I become powerful.

“Forbidden Wizard,” my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

The Wind Elemental Tower and the Black Tower are targeting me because I have the potential to become the Forbidden Wizard. Then I will definitely become the Forbidden Wizard.

These people don’t know that I have already received Forbidden Level gravity magic inheritance. All I need is time to reach that level.

Then I closed my eyes and began to rest.

…

Magic City:

The Wind Elemental Tower’s Forbidden Wizards got news from Forbidden Wizard Remi. Upon learning that Vincent Carey was hiding in the Forbidden Area of the Dark Territory, they were shocked.

They didn’t expect this from the Silver Tower. But they have realized now why the Dark Fate Wizard demanded resources. The Fate Wizards won’t predict things about ominous locations.

But they were happy that they got the location at least.

Then they immediately started to give orders. The Magic Lords and the Supreme Wizards of the Wind Elemental Tower were summoned.

It’s just that the Wind Elemental Tower’s Forbidden Wizards have asked them to gather outside the Magic City. They wanted the operation to be a secret.

If others found out, it could cause major escalation. Especially, the Silver Tower would do anything to save that kid.

Time passed,

After two hours, the wizards were able to gather outside the Magic City. Among them, 20 were Level-10 Supreme Wizards, and 10 were Magic Lords above them.

For this operation, 5 Forbidden Wizards agreed to supervise the mission. The 35 people started their journey towards the Dark Territory on the giant black air carrier.

The Giant Black Air Carrier quietly left the place. After appearing in mid-air, the stealth mode was activated. The whole carrier became transparent.

Unless someone powerful or a similar carrier came across them, no one would find it. The Five Forbidden Wizards didn’t stop their activities.

They took out the Forbidden Area map. The whole Forbidden Area is larger than their Magic City. It’s not easy to explore the whole place and find their target.

With their current manpower, it would take a couple of days. Because the Forbidden Area was not without dangers. They knew that the Forbidden Area had claimed the lives of Magic Lords and Supreme Wizards before.

There is even a rumor that a Dark Forbidden Wizard lost his life in the core area. Though it was not verified, no one underestimates the Forbidden Area. It’s a place filled with pure dark mana.

It’s normal for some strange things to survive. After hundreds of years, it had gained the power to threaten the lives of the Magic Lords and the Supreme Wizards.

…

Forbidden Area:

The Zero Puppet is carefully exploring the surrounding area around the well. Since it has no vitality, many dangerous creatures have ignored the puppet.

As a result, the puppet was able to traverse some places smoothly. After spending a few hours, it found signs of magical plants.

It’s hard for any vegetation to grow here in this charred land. The Zero Puppet’s sockets flickered with blue light. The Zero Puppet carefully scanned the area.

It found a single magic plant growing under the black mountain rock. The plant had only a few leaves with no flowers.

The Zero Puppet decided to take it. It plucked the plant and stored it inside the box. Then it placed the box inside the magic pouch.

After that, the Zero Puppet left the spot. Not long after, the brown rock started to move. A monster’s head popped out; it stared at the spot where the plant had been growing a few seconds ago.

Roar!

The monster let out a terrifying sound. It had a crocodile-like mouth. The size of the head alone was above 6ft tall. The dark crocodile monster was trying to track the enemy.

But there was no mana signature at all. If there had been a mana signature left by living beings, it would have been found out easily.

The Zero Puppet was now going back towards the well. Earlier, it had been found that the master’s complexion was not good. It had received the order to collect more magical plant resources.

But the Zero Puppet had found this magical plant only in its surroundings. If it wanted to search other places, it could take longer to return.

An hour later,

The Zero Puppet returned to the well area. The return journey was smooth. The puppet didn’t face any threats. It then entered the well and appeared beside the master.

“Master,” the puppet called out.

On the other hand, I opened my eyes after receiving the system’s voice. The system said that the puppet had returned.

Then I turned my head and saw the Zero Puppet.

“What happened?”

“Did you collect it?” I asked.

My eyes flashed with hope.

“Yes, master,” the Zero Puppet replied.

Then it took out the magic pouch and handed it over.

Seeing that, I accepted the pouch and opened it. The next second, a fresh mana power came out of the pouch.

“System, identify the plant,” I said to the system in my mind.

[10th Grade – Dark Root Plant.]

[It grows in dark mana areas, but the plant has anti-dark mana properties. It grows by absorbing white mana with healing properties.]

After reading the system information, a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

“Zero, you have done a good job,” I said to the Zero Puppet. It didn’t disappoint me.

Then I looked at the dark root plant before consuming it whole. I took out the super grade mana stones and closed my eyes, starting to run the mental method.

Since it’s a 10th-grade resource, I’m hoping that it will solve my problem. The healing energy began to circulate in my body. Whenever the energy comes across the dark mana, it purifies it.

Seeing that, my eyes flickered. Then I closed my eyes and continued with the process. Since it’s 10th Grade, the healing energy has been abundant.

The healing energy continued to circulate in my body. One after the other, the dark mana got purified. As the injured areas were getting cured, the pure, rich mana started flowing into my body.

The process continued. The Zero Puppet was standing guard.

…

Meanwhile,

A Giant Black Carrier entered the Forbidden Area. The carrier was hovering in mid-air. Yet everyone felt the ominous power emanating from the Forbidden Area.

Many Magic Lords and Supreme Wizards were unwilling to come earlier. But the Forbidden Wizards made it mandatory for everyone to participate in this mission.

The Five Forbidden Wizards walked out from their cabin and looked at the dark, charred land ahead. It was covered with black clouds.

Anyone could tell that the black clouds were poisonous. The faces of the Forbidden Wizards turned solemn. Why were they afraid of the black clouds?

Because the black clouds could poison the Supreme Wizards to death. If the Magic Lords get poisoned, then they would be bedridden for at least a few months.

Even the Forbidden Wizards had to be careful when dealing with it.

Especially if their magic power has disadvantages against the dark mana, it’s best not to engage with them.

“We have encountered a death cloud!”

“It’s not safe to travel on the big carrier.”

“Let’s ask the Lords to land on the ground.”

The Supreme Wizards were discussing in a serious tone. The faces of the Magic Lords were not looking good either.
