Rebirth of Abium

'Azolla, are there any other mages besides Potion mages and Rune mages?' Abium felt he looks like a country bumpkin and asked with an embarrassment on his face.

'Of course! Other than Rune Mage and Potion mages, there are Battlemages, Dark Mages, Light Mages, Summoners, Warlocks, Elemental mages, Curse mages, and Seers. Each group walks on a different path, so you must choose your decision wisely.' Azolla said solemnly. Meanwhile, Abium was deeply astounded. As if she had sensed Abium's emotional changes, she continued.

'Now, I will tell you about the ranking system of Rune mage. First is Beginner Rune mage, and then comes Adept Rune mage. The next one is the Expert Rune mage. Well, to become an Expert Rune mage, one must create an artifact with a third-tier magic spell inscribed in it, and that spell must have law power.

Following that rank would be Rune Master. To become a Rune Master, one has to inscribe at least one pseudo legendary tier spell in an artifact. Well, these artifacts are the ones most mortals proclaim as legendary artifacts. Following that rank is Grandmaster level Rune mage. Well, those were like mythical existence to normal mages. As for the next rank, you will learn about that in the future. That's it, kid.

As for Potion mage, the titles are the same ones, and they have to create potions using the potion formulas based on the rank. I will tell you more about Potion mages when you plan to study potioneering.' When Abium heard Azolla's words, he quickly understood and nodded. Till now, Abium felt he was walking on a clueless path, but soon as he heard Azolla's words, he thought he now has some map to get out of this clueless path. Abium slowly calmed down and noticed he had already arrived at the entrance to the Black street.

Without any delay, he moved towards 16 Black street. It was around 5 A.M.

After checking, there was no one following him; he entered his house and silently lay on the soft bed. But he didn't plan to sleep now. He wants to know what would happen if he goes along with that necromancer Rilos. He wants to try to peek into the future a little.

'Headmaster seems to be unaware of that elven guy in the hood. Moreover, he also seems to be clueless about the other two families who belong to the Bidora Empire. There are too many questions in my mind. Who is the leader of this order of the dead? Who is that elven guy in the hood? Also, why Light church suddenly started making trouble for all the royal kingdoms?'

'In the past, the Light church members claimed that they started to involve in politics due to the royal families' mismanagement of their kingdoms… Suspicious! In the past, I was just a commoner and didn't know anything about these things. Like my whole life was completely controlled by these nobles and mages. But now, I understand there are too many secrets.'

'Ha! For now, I should stop those necromancers from killing many civilians and stay hidden. I think the final seal will also break around this time. Then dungeons will begin to appear one by one and cause great commotion everywhere. Although most of those dungeons will disappear mysteriously after some time, there will be many monsters come out from those dungeons and give headaches to all. As for those demons and devils' arrival, there is still more time. Now, let's see about tomorrow's future. Although I don't know how long I can able to see future events, at least I want to try.' Abium thought to himself deeply and concentrated his attention to the mysterious fountain through the strange link. The next second, his soul was pulled into that mysterious space, and soon Abium in soul form found himself standing in front of that fountain.

Without wasting much time, he once again moved near to that white petal and tapped it with his foggy hand. Following that, the same empty mirror-like rectangular space appeared in front of him. Quickly Abium touched that mirror-like space with his hand and thought about the next day's future.

Like water waves, those empty spaces started to disappear and soon replaced with the image of a bird. That bird looked like it was a five-meter large monstrous crimson feathered legendary Phoenix bird. Quickly, Abium shifted his attention to the surrounding areas and got stunned. He noticed that bird was standing in some underground cave, and behind that monstrous bird stood a tall broken rectangular stone pillar which was inscribed by multiple rune circles around it.

Another broken part was just laid near to that pillar. Soon, Abium noticed scarlet flames starting to coming out from that bird's wings. At the same time, Abium saw two headless figures with red robes and five headless figures with black robes laid on the other side of that broken stone pillar.

Before Abium could identify who those figures were, the rectangular space began to twist and returned to normal black void-like space. The next second, Abium felt his soul was being pulled out from that mysterious fountain space, and he found himself laid on the soft bed.

'Is that a mythical bird? Nah, but I'm sure it belongs to that legendary Phoenix bird's descendant. Yes, it must be that Redbird. Moreover, what is that broken stone pillar? Is that some type of seal? Then, whose bodies are those two red robes and one black robe? Red robe represents second-tier mages, and the one who would come after me is only Rune mage Ubius.' Suddenly, Abium's expression stiffened up.

'Damn! Is he going to be killed if he comes after me?' Abium's eyes went wide as he thought of that.

'What to do?… From the image, I can tell I'm not that black-robed headless body because I knew I would be wearing a gray robe tomorrow. Who is that then?' Abium became more puzzled.

'Ha! I had to do something if I want to save that Rune mage.' Abium frowned deeper.

'Is it possible to change Ubius's future?… I also have to be wary of that fate divinity holder. He might control the fate of all these peoples and might know everything about them. Hmm? Wait a minute! That Undying Rilos's appearance makes me more worried. I can't provoke that undying monster. Even if I kill him, he will revive back and seek revenge.'

Suddenly, Abium's amber eyes became sharp as he remembered an incident from the past and became more serious.

'No. I think Rilos still hadn't got that revival power. As for that fate divinity holder, all I can do now is changing the futures as much as possible and lead it into a most unpredictable way! So, the one who controls fate will stumble and will make mistakes, and I will use that opportunity. Hmm, I can also alter other futures and might ruin those necromancers' plan.' Abium's lips curved upwards. Abium knew from that simple image; he wouldn't be able to guess the exact future. But that future was the one he didn't want, and he thought twisting the future could make more possibilities of spoiling their plan.

'But the problem is with my measly strength, how could I achieve that?' Abium furrowed his brows and suddenly felt a drowsy feeling assaulted him. He felt that feeling was so familiar and soon found his soul being pulled into some mysterious domain. But he didn't panic. Instead, he instantly began to study that mystical force that was pulling his soul. It was exactly like last time when he entered that mysterious fountain, but he could feel the foreign power was so strong that he couldn't be even able to resist.

Soon, after a split second, he found himself surrounded by complete darkness, and a familiar catkin girl sat on a wooden creepy dark throne.

Instantly, Abium knew who this catkin girl was and bowed quickly.

"Lady Nyara!"

"Don't stop those necromancers." Goddess Nyara threw a black ring to Abium and said with a cold tone. Then the next moment, she waved her left hand, and Abium slowly opened his eyes in his house. His face was covered with cold sweat, and stared nervously at the ceiling.

Nyara's sentence was still echoing inside his mind like divine judgment words, which made his body go numb.

'She doesn't want me to interfere with necromancers' plan!' It didn't take long him to realize what her motive was.

'But why?' Abium felt puzzled deeply. Soon he shook his head with a weak smile on his face and shifted his attention to the black ring.

'Kid, which goddess did you met this time?' Azolla asked jokingly. Abium knew she must have guessed due to that mysterious force pulled him a few seconds ago.

'It's the Goddess Nyara.' Abium said while sending his spiritual power to that black ring. He didn't think there would be any curse spell or some trap lay in that ring. Of course, he knew the possibility of Goddess Nyara pulling some prank on his was high, but he didn't put much thought into it.

As his spiritual power entered inside that ring, Abium felt a series of numbers appeared inside his mind.

Abium quickly memorized the series of numbers and puzzled. Abium knew nothing about those series of numbers and instantly asked Azolla to scan that ring.

'Kid, you are lucky. This ring is called the Returner's ring. If you got somehow stuck in another plane or another dimension, you could use this ring to return to our home plane using that coordinate. But it can be used only once, so use it wisely.' Azolla's words were serious.

'Heh! But I know nothing about how to use this coordinate.' Abium replied slowly and continue to probe that black ring using his spiritual power. But after a few seconds, he managed to found this ring had some mysterious force and smiled wryly. Without wasting any time, Abium tossed that black ring into his spatial ring and took out the mysterious stone tablet. Even Azolla became puzzled when he took out that stone.

But Abium's lips curved upward as he sent his spiritual power. This time when Nyara pulled his soul using an invisible mystical force, he didn't miss that chance and gained some understanding of how to perceive that mystical divine power.

As Abium's spiritual power surrounded that stone, he felt a minute amount of familiar mystical power from that stone and smiled brightly. He had felt the same feeling whenever his soul was pulled into the mysterious fountain.

As his spiritual energy touched that mystical energy, an unknown word appeared on the surface of that stone.

It was not the language he knew, but somehow he understood the meaning on that word and unknowingly muttered out loud.

"Luck."

Crack!

The stone tablet shattered into powder while leaving behind a gold coin. On one side, there was an image of a tangled snake. While on the other side was the face of a beautiful lady with a crown on her head.

'T-This is a Miracle gold coin!' A surprised voice echoed inside his head. From Azolla's tone, Abium could tell she was deeply surprised inside, and he silently waited for her to continue. After a long silence, Azolla asked a question.

'Kid, do you know anything about intellectual artifacts?'

Abium frowned as he heard a new term and shook his head helplessly. Although he had some guess, he still chose to stay silent.

'Ha! I will tell you from the start then. From ancient times, mortals categorized the artifacts into three types. The first type is an ordinary magic artifact, which includes low tier to legendary tier. In these artifacts, Rune mages use rune letters to create spell models inside the magic array and use them.

The second type is nature artifact. Natural phenomena form these nature artifacts. As for how they created, no one knows the answer. Some say the will of the world made these artifacts, while others say they formed naturally due to dense elemental energy. Well, if you want to find the truth, then you have to ask the will of the world, but I can tell you except one elven emperor and a Lich who is still sleeping at the end of this continent, no one had met the will of our Easica world.

Now, I will tell you about the intellectual artifact. Gods create these artifacts. Most of these artifacts have their own basic intelligence, and some even have evolved into unique artifacts that are capable of communication. Each artifact has its own name. I heard all these artifacts were created with the help of divine power. Well, this Miracle gold coin will come under this category. Although this coin didn't evolve into a unique artifact, I can tell this coin has its own will. I heard Myxenta created hundreds of similar Miracle gold coins and tossed them from her divine kingdom before the start of the Ancient War.'

Hearing Azolla's lengthy explanation, Abium became wholly shocked.

'W-What should I do now?' Abium asked anxiously.
