8: Aeriths Champion and Meeting the other Masters

  Alex was looking at the flower on the dining room table. "And you're saying that I have to eat this thing?" Pointing at said flower.

  Luther let out a sigh, this is the third time he had to explain it to him. "Yes, dad. Now eat the damn flower!" He picked it up and started shoving it in his dad's face. "I made a deal with a Great Spirit for you so be greatful!"

  "Alright, alright! Stop abusing the elderly!" Alex said with laughter in his voice and swallowed the plant. a promt must have appeared, because next he said, "Agree"

  The power turned him into a Beastkin. He was covered in fur and his face was that of a wolf's. He was a foot taller now as well.

  While there are many races in Second Chance. Beastkin, Elves, Imps, Fairies, Dragons. All players are always human. The cultivators of th East Servers can adapt their bloodlines, but can't change the fact that they are Human at their core.

  Until today.

  "It's like I became one with my Soul Beast." Alex looked at his hands and arms, testing their strength. Picking at his teeth, "Hey i can fit my whole fist in my mouth!" Opening his maw wide.

  "You could always do that dad." Luther's amazement at the change disappeared after that statment. Pinching the bridge of his nose, "Make sure to bring me back as many Blood Moon pearls on your adventures. I can purify them and boost your power."

  "I was meaning to ask, How did you even do that? Purify them?" Alex was now scratching his chest. His Fur was super dirty. this was going to be a hassle. He couldn't even turn back, he tried. He was a werewolf now. He was Level 67 he wasn't going to reset his character, ever.

  Luther extended his hand and showed little glowing circles. the Blue in his right and the Green in his left. "I'm a 2★ Mage. I have two of the purest, most opposite Mana Types in the same body. This green circle is the [Mana of the Other]."

  "So, you're like, what? Half Demon now or something?" He said as he unequiped his Shirt.

  "No, Actually." Luther stated matter-of-factly, "I checked the forums and the library. What we call 'Angels' and 'Demons' outside, don't actually exist here. 'Demon' is more of a title given to those that take their power from the dead or beasts. It's more like a subtype of [Spirit Mana] if i had to guess. Monsters that have Mana at all, are opposite to the basic Mana that Humans use. But, I got rid of the taint that came from the goblins i killed, leaving an undiluted green [Other Mana]."

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  "Demons and Angels don't exist?" His sense of smell was off the charts. Someone was coming to the door. The meat he stored in the house was starting to rot. A mouse pooped in the dining room. He was getting distracted.

  "Traditional Demons and Angels don't exist in Second Chance." Luther said as he watched his dad eat a chicken leg whole. "Spirits are beings, locations, whole Mana Types that gained power and consience."

  "Like the Great Moon Spirit, Aerith ."

  "Exactly." It was quite fascinating, actually. only those 7★ and higher can turn their Mana into a new type altogether. Which meant that Luther needed to decide what to do with the [Corruption of The Blood Thief, Gregious]. 'Blood Thief' probably means he was a Vampire before he became what Luther could only guess. The power alone required to corrupt The Freaking Moon...

  His thoughts were disrupted by a knock at the door. Luther, being closer to it, opened it. He was met with a dark elf wearing green. "Are you Master Luther Blackstone?"

  "Yes? Um, who are you?" The woman in front of him was no doubt beautiful, but it's only been 14 hours since he joined the game.

  "There will be a time for introductions during and after the Master's meeting." She grabed his shoulder and they teleported away.

  Alex just kept eating, watching his son get taken away. He knew exactly who she was, after all.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~

  Being teleported directly the Eerin Kingdom's castle, directly in front a round table of adults in different colored robes, wasn't great. The trip was electric, he literally felt what could be lightning coursing through his body as he was dropped into a chair.

  "Welcome Master White Mage, Luther Blackstone, to the Eerin Kingdom's ambasador meeting room." The Dark Elf spoke as she sat down in the green chair. "My name in Esme Thorne, Master Green Mage"

  "Amadeus Silver. Blue Master." The man in the blue robe and gotee stated before turning to the big Burly one in red. "Oliver Drake, Red Master"

  The elderly man in gold spoke next, "Revan Artus, Gold Master and my wife, Black Master, Cecilia Artus." Gesturing to the equally elderly womanin black robes, she was curently sleeping while sitting up.

  A woman looking younger than Luther spoke up and waved. "Lucia Ryker, Yellow Master. Hi! My dad, Julian, is currently out of the kingdom on buisness, so you can't meet the Brown Master today." She stated as she gestured to an empty dark brown chair.

  "And my name is Arthur Aurelius, the Purple Master." The purple robed man, looked like he was in his mid 30s. but his eyes screamed 'tired' and 'done with everything'

  "You are here to get you acquainted to your duties as a Master Mage. Which includes, but is not limited to: fighting agaist the shadow beasts of the west, teaching students in the academy, going to war with countries, contributing to the library, cooperating with other masters in the creation of new spells, and controlling inventory in the Magic Storehouse." Master Aurelius was all business.

  "Um..." Luther started sheepishly, "I've been a Master for a total of 6 hours now. Can I get a bit of time before becoming a teacher? I don't have anything to teach at the moment."

  The Purple Master blinked at him. As if he forgot that tidbit. " Of course. You have 3 weeks. That is when the new term starts."

  "I'll do my best to not let you down."
