What is Magnatite? It sounds cool though, I have no recollection of such a stone, metal, or any substance. Though, going based off of “Magna” it should be either a synonym for ‘great’ or perhaps even ‘magnetized’.

I think I am a lot more special than I thought I was…

[Commencing Evolutionary Upgrade!]

The Atronach’s vision went blank, instead of the previous time where he was capable of still seeing, now it was much different.

Woah.

The Atronach was in a sea of stars, he was floating in some sort of illusionary space. All around him were stars, black holes, energy clouds, planets, it was magical, to say the least.

He was mesmerized, his thoughts turned blank and he just took in everything.

He knew that it was illusionary, it was a deep feeling from his soul, yet that didn’t stop the impeccable illusion from influencing him. He felt weightless, not able to move, suffocating in a vacuum. It wasn’t the suffocation from the air, he didn’t need to breathe as a golem, in fact, he probably could survive in space perfectly fine. However, the vast expanse somewhat terrified him…

It’s so vast, no ocean can compete with this, no sea of clouds could cover this much distance. It’s so scary yet beautiful…

[Listing...]

* Rock Giant

* Stone Baskalisk

* Stone Fiend

* Gargoyle Titan

* Iron Giant

* Ruin Giant

Wow… these seem a little less interesting than Atronach… Though the Ruin Giant seems pretty cool.

The Atronach floating in space drifted for a while, his thoughts in turmoil. The benefit of having nine lives tied to your memories is great in changing one’s thought process. His mind was oddly extremely stable, like that of stone. However, his calculative abilities are definitely a bit better than most, he had experience backed by talented individuals.

The rock giant was plain, it went for a more humanoid route, the Atronach was conflicted as he somewhat wanted to be normal to the intelligent species, but strength is what mattered most, it was a saying that all lives seemed to agree on.

Rock Giants aren’t too rare, many of his lives have personally killed one, big savage brutes who were made of stone on the outside, and the inside was a mess of flesh. The Stone Baskalisk isn’t much better at all, in fact, he would be expected to be hunted for their petrifying eyes, a mage’s core material to transcend to a high mage.

Then came the Stone Fiend, he had no idea what a Stone Fiend was but he knew of Fiends, they were bi-pedal beasts similar to werewolves, however, they looked even more demonic. They were a fierce race of the demons.

Gargoyles were an interesting species, they were creatures who were made from alchemy and used in Vampire Castles as guards. Giant Gargoyles are vampires royal guards, and the Gargoyle Titan seemed to be a higher level than that. These Gargoyles were strong physically but failed miserably when it came to magic.

Iron Giants were the Dwarve’s creations, they were huge simple constructions embedded with a golem core, mostly meant for hauling metal, wood, and stone. Simple brutish slaves are what came to mind.

Finally, the Ruin Giant, this is something that The Atronach had never heard of, there were plenty of conjectures but it was a huge unknown. He was about to immediately pass, but there was a really strong sense of curiosity that seemed to make him focus on it.

After ten minutes of contemplating he decided.

Screw it… I choose you!
