Alex's character looked even bulkier than he actually did in real life. Windswept grey hair and looking very wolf-like. Towering over Luther, who now started to get up. "Yeah, my bad they were sacrificing Minotuars, so i interupted their ritual and killed them all with their own blessing."
The wolf-like man's jaw dropped, showing sharp canines. "And you did this. As a Level 5 Mage."
"14 now, but yeah..." Luther let out a sigh as he Harvested the closest Shaman
Luther looted the other three Shamans for the same thing. He just continued to loot the other bodies as well. Gaining 845 Small Blood Moon Pearls but no other sellable items. All while his father processed how A Level 5 trash mage (according to the forums) Purged the village.
And yes, This wasn't a Subjugation. It was a Purge.
He wasn't a bad father, he didn't say anything when his son didn't want to play the game in the past. He did his research when he saw that Luther got promoted to a White Mage, but didn't say anything that could hinder him. Alex had to say to say something now.
"What the Hell?! How?! What?" He sputtered. Alexander Blackstone was more of a man of action than words.
"You know about White Mages right? The skill
A thought occured to him and he inward. He stole two different essences, but comined them into one when he used a skill.
Sure enough, His suspisions were proved correct. the Blood Moon Curse Absorbed the Corrupted Monster Mana. Meaning that his physical Stats were restored. The bloody Erratic Sludge of the curse was pooled underneath the Mana Circle. He was relieved that he kept them separate.
"I thought all those red lines were a tattoo you picked for your character." His father said as he got out of his stupor. He lifted his son's left arm and traced one of the curse's markings.

Luthor was ticklish, so he quickly shook him off. "I'd like to go to the Eerin Kingdom Mage Hall. Can I hitch a ride dad?" He asked as he patted the dust off him.
"I'll do you one better." Alex replied with a predatory grin. "These are teleport crystals. They usually take us directly to the kingdom warp hub." He answered confidently. "I had these onse modified to warp me to my house." He pulled out a Diamond shaped crystal and crushed it in Luther's hand.
"You bought-" The warp was instantaneous. The feeling of beeing pulled through a drinking straw, while simultaneously being turned inside out and back, was also instananeous. "a house?" Luther fell to his knees and started heaving uncontrollably.
"Yeah. A player's house is a place to dump your stuff when your inventory is full." Alex answered, completely ignoring his son's current crisis. "I saved a bunch of gold to get a nice place near the middle of the Kingdom. The Mage Hall is past the market westwards." He patted his son on the back. "You can take the second bedroom. I labeled it and everything while i waited for you to get your ass over here to the game."
Luther's dad left him and the house. "Good luck! Hope you get that curse off!" He shouted for the whole street to hear.
Luther was met with starnge looks and was surrounded by whispers as he made his way to the Mage Hall.
The Hall itself was magnificent. It looked like a a great library made of marble. There were Pillars of each color in front of the building's doors, representing each mage type. One of the Pillars was clear and cracked, possibly refrencing the fact that Luther was the only White Mage.
The interior, to no ones surprise, was a library. Carpets of each color, matched to the pillars outside, led to bookshelves of the same color. With the exception of the white Mage section, which was turned into a study area filled with tables surrounded by chairs.
Luther thought it was nice, but he needed to become a Master.
He walked up to young man with slightly pointed ears that was sitting at the front desk. "Hello, I was told I can get the Key to the White Mage Tower here?" The young man was shocked out of the book he was reading.
"Wha-! Ha-!" he sputtered as he quickly shut the book and hid it. "Hooo...." He released a breath and turned to him. "Welcome to the Eerin Kingdom Mage Hall. My name is Blake how may I help you?"
Luther took it in stride "I was told i could could get the key to the White Mage hall here?"
Blake's eyes widened before he took out an orate key and a crystal ball. "Well I could give it to you. But that would get me fired if I didn't verify you. Put your had on this crystal ball and pour some Mana into it." Luther did just that, using is
circle. Both of them watched as the Crystal Ball slowly became Milky White and Gave his name.
Blake stared at the ball in shock. Luther used the shock to grab the key and walk out of the building as smoothly as possible. "Thanks for the help Blake!" Luther said as he shut the door.
He took a deep breath and put the Key in his inventory. before he could go down the steps, he watched the clear pillar become more opaque and white. As if to annouce to the Kingdom that a new White mage was born. Luther smiled brightly all the way to the tower.
His smile dimmed slightly when he checked his map and saw that the White Mage tower was on the other side of the Kingdom in the north.
~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~
"Master Thorne! Master Thorne!" Blake the Half-elf Yelled as he ran through the Mage Academy halls. "Master Thorne!" He gasped as he burst through the Green door with Golden embossed leaves
A tall, slender, dark skinned beauty with green hair and dress was sitting at her desk. "This better be important Blake, or I will dock Merits for interupting my conversation with Master Silver." She spoke smoothly and with a subtle bite.
Master SIlver was the smartly dressed man sitting opposite from her. Blue Hair, 3-piece suit, and horn rimmed glasses. He turned slowly and raised an eyebrow at Blake.
"Forgive me,* gasp* Masters! But i have Urgent news!" Blake stood up straight, still out of breath. "I just confirmed a White Mage and gave him his key!"
The Two Masters looked at each other with wide eyes before quickly getting out of their seats and leaving. "100 Merit points for you Blake."
