The Golem Mage

Chapter 257: Break : ( System Changes Part 2)

After James returned to his tent, he was determined to devote more time to his cultivation, he couldn’t help but be inspired by the incredible dedication he witnessed from the members of the Gordons clan.

Despite being Low Ranked Mages, they poured their heart and soul into their training.

And James found himself wondering just what their future would hold for them if they were able to reached the Mid Rank Realms.

His curiosity was itching to see just how far their hard work could take them.

Meanwhile, Alec let out a frustrated sigh as he watched James walk away.

He had been waiting for him to leave since, and the moment he entered his tent Alec wasted no time in attempting to summon the system spirit golem.

Only to realize that it also resided within the space pouch.

And he was still Unable to access his Mana, Alec cursed silently, feeling bewildered by the system’s mysterious advancements and new notifications.

It seemed as though It was going through upgrades on a regular basis just like phones in his old world

And the only person who could provide answers was the system spirit.

Alec’s space pouch which his grandfather got for him held a special significance, as it was connected to his own unique Mana fluctuations.

And If anything were to happen to him, no one would be able to open it unless, of course, they sought the assistance of a High Rank rune master capable of deciphering the codes.

With no luck summoning the system spirit, Alec made the decision to explore the system on his own, as he could not keep waiting on when the crown on his head came off before he got the answers he wanted.

He also couldn’t continue brooding over his inability to summon the rest of his Golems; he felt it was time to take matters into his own hands.

As Alec’s status tab appeared before him, he couldn’t help but be taken aback by the numerous changes that had occurred.

Firstly, he noticed that he had successfully leveled up by three levels, which was quite a significant jump.

Additionally, he had acquired some new attribute points, that could further enhance his abilities.

The system even displayed his sealed Mana state, providing him with valuable information.

A sigh escaped Alec’s lips as he realized that his rapid level progression and accumulation of system points were primarily due to defeating mages of higher realms.

The substantial rewards in terms of system points and experience points served as evidence of his accomplishments.

Based on his deductions, he speculated that he was now on the verge of entering the Mid Tier 2 Mage realm.

However, he couldn’t shake off the confusion of how his clan members, whom he had always surpassed, managed to reach that realm before him.

Considering he had encountered few obstacles along his journey, he found it puzzling.

Nevertheless, he remained confident that the system would provide him with the answers he sought through the new notifications that were currently leaving him perplexed.

[Party Member]

>Brandon Gordons (High) Tier 2

>Arthur Gordons (Mid) Tier 2

>Agnes Gordons (Mid) Tier 2

.....

Even without the system spirit, Alec managed to discover the party member tab after a bit of navigating through the system buttons.

This revelation shed light on why his siblings had experienced such rapid breakthroughs.

It appeared that anyone added to the party member system would receive a unique type of experience that aided their cultivation.

Similar to Alec, they gained this experience by engaging in battles and defeating lifeforms, and it is shared between all of them.

However, unlike Alec, who faced no barriers in his cultivation, his siblings would reach a limit in their experience value during battle, as they are not able to Breakthrough while in battle.

They would have to wait and meditate before being able to undergo a breakthrough to the next realm.

This realization explained why they had all made progress simultaneously as each member must have sensed they were on the cusp of a breakthrough.

Today, the group had slain numerous Tier 3 Orcs, including the Orc shaman , which yielded a substantial amount of experience points.

Alec discovered, however, that as the party leader, he received at least 20% of the experience points from their kills and didn’t have to share his own experience points with them from his kills.

This made him realize just how much the system resembled a game, it even protected his interest, and the Party member tab was clearly similar to the Commander title he always acquired in Blood Moon Wars.

Understanding all this finally clarified why his golems were not included in the party system.

They already provided him with a natural influx of experience points.

Including them in the party member group would mean sharing their experience points with the Gordons clansmen.

And It seemed the system’s intent was also to protect the golems from being exploited as mere tools for the development of Alec’s clansmen.

Alec, despite knowing he could have exploited this option to facilitate everyone’s faster breakthroughs, did not feel bothered.

As With the little assistance the party system gave and the abundance of power stones obtained from the Orcs they had killed, their cultivation journey was about to resemble a fairy tale.

They were on track to make significant progress - fighting and drenched in blood during the day, only to recuperate and cultivate with the power stones they had acquired from their Orc kills at night.

”I guess that Mage didn’t expect to do us such a favor, like that Oldman always says every dissapointment is a blessing in disguise ” Alec remarked with a laugh, his hand resting on his iron bracers as he leaned against a sturdy tree trunk.

Alongside him were Titan and Legion, who swiftly patrolling around the tents.

Alec knew he could rely on both of them to keep any potential attacks at bay.

However, his suspicion lingered regarding the man who had brought them to this place.

It was evident that he desired their demise but lacked the courage to carry it out himself.

Alec couldn’t shake the feeling of an imminent, treacherous assault, especially considering the lessons the orckish forest had taught him - never to let their guard down in the wilderness, as complacency could lead to regret.

His only lament was his inability to use Mana.

Nevertheless, he expressed gratitude towards Kethra, as it was his attempt on their lives that had prompted Alec to remove his iron bracers.

In doing so, Alec discovered that they had a hidden ability to train his endurance without relying on the system’s assistance.

and He also had unraveled the presence of another multiple trump card in battle, aside from his Mana.

Experiencing all of this within a single day only stoked Alec’s curiosity further for what lay ahead.

He couldn’t help but feel excitement bubbling inside, knowing that once his Mana recovered, he would be exponentially stronger than before.
