He was kept in the family dungeon for three days straight before being released by his uncle ( head ), who wasn't really aware of the issue, as claimed.
and after finding out about his discovery, asked him to hand it over to him, stating two reasons: one was that he belonged to the family, so he needed to work for its betterment,
While the second reason was that his son Ren, who was his elder cousin, needed it so he could shine brighter, and he was barely a month older than him.
It was the most shameless thing he had ever heard, and he refused to yield. His sentence didn't last long before he was released.
After a few weeks, he was framed for the murder of a royal of another family, which spiraled out of control pretty much.
And under usual circumstances, he was supposed to at least take him to juvenile detention, but because of the child's background, the case was handled differently.
And of course, the only way out for him was to yield to their earlier demand and submit or spend a really long time in the bastion as a child soldier,
And Ash took his best bet, as his mentality didn't really paint a terrible place until he got here.
Ash gave out a calm sigh, looking at the creature in front of him. It took a total of five months, three weeks, and four days to get it right, and that could only be attributed to his limited resources.
It would have taken him less time if he had resources present for his use, but since he was limited,
He had to make do with what he had, which included his knowledge of magic from both worlds to create something that others couldn't.
But even with all the knowledge he had, he was still stuck. The kind of magic that is used in this world is vastly different from the kind of magic that was used in the last world he came from.
Even the mana acted somewhat differently, and although there are similarities, the little differences still made it hard to use it properly.
In the past world, they mainly existed as wizards , mages, and knights, but in this world, they are six different basic classes:
blades, lancers, assassins, berserker, archers, and casters,
Each surprisingly has distinct qualities .
People with blade class are more or less swordsmen with attributes that aid in close-range combat.
People with the lancer class are very similar to the blade class, but their class is built for mid-range weapons like spears and staffs.
People with the Archer class are built for ranged attacks.
People with the assassin class are built with stealth and speed.
People with the berserker's class are rather different, possessing incredible strength, stamina, and defences.
People with the Caster class, or Mages as they prefer being called, are built to be able to use magic by means of manipulation.
When he learnt about this as a kid, he thought it was all there was until he found out how vast the magic system turned out to be.
One doesn't have their class given to them at birth, well, technically, it is instead laid dormant and can only be activated after being saturated with mana.
which is the fundamental form of magic existing in the same form as air, but vastly different,
Some people do exist, either having the dormant class and not being able to pass mana through it due to having damaged pathways, or not having any class at all.
After the awakening has taken place, the person who has undergone this process becomes different, both physically and psychologically enhanced.
Blades becomes physically stronger and has enhanced response time,
archers gain clearer eyesight,
assassins gain increased speed and agility,
Berserkers gain an explosive amount of strength,
Lancers gain increased agility,
While Casters have increased intelligence and mental resonance, allowing increased affinity to mana.
This is not fixed as some aspects are increased more than others, depending on the person.
Only after awakening would they face the harrowing path to becoming stronger,
which consists of eight levels and ten sub-levels in each, and all this is aided by the Akashic system, making the process simple , helping them to know their stats, and also aiding in class evolution and branching.
Looking back, Ash felt both relieved and scared at the same time ,
relieved that he had escaped the reach of his family to some extent, even though they had a little influence in the bastion, as he had seen in his aunt, it wasn't really enough to put him in mortal danger,
scared that his death date could be closer than he expected it to be due to how dangerous the bastion had been turning out to be.
Taking in a deep breath, Ash got to work. This time, he wasn't trying to create an enchantment or bring a creature out of a soul orb ... no, he was trying to relearn.
Although he had extensive knowledge of runes from his world,
Ash had become stuck due to the difference between their fundamental principles.
He has often found himself running blind, and this has been going on for a while.
Yes, he was able to draw out the creature, but that was because he found a way for it to work by studying just the soul orb of the grey phantom eagle.
a creature with a second rank bloodline and was off the grand level in strength, which meant that the array lines that it had were not so intricate as those of others in higher ranks and levels,
As the stronger a creature was, the more intricate the patterns the soul orb would possess, and the more power it would possess.
He faced a problem when he tried to go deeper, immediately becoming lost when he immersed himself, and the feeling of forgetting something started becoming too strong to ignore.
even when he tried to map out the phantom eagle's core.
He sometimes got lost, which worried him, but like a spell, he somehow loses interest and forgot about it.
