After Jack disappeared in the shadows he reappeared in another point of the forest panting and gasping for air because he could feel the tiredness of his body going beyond what he should be capable of now and also the strain of lending a part of himself to other people to use by allowing Yuki and Mina to use the “Alchemical Life Fire”, that until he entered that trance he didn’t even knew had become a new type fire!!! So now he decided to see the message from the system that he haven’t seen and ask some things to the system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attention!!!!
Through the fusion of two fires the Titan has managed to create a new one:
Alchemical Life Fire: An alchemical fire is a fire that burn one thing to convert to another completely different, this fire will burn impurities, curses and even evil itself and convert to life energy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attention!!!!
The Titan has managed to absorb the excess life energy that was expelled from the evil burned from “Yuki Arashi”
The excess life energy was used to improve the Titan energies reserves so it can use the cards power more freely and for a longer time
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attention!!!!
The Titan has created a new clan with its own new specialty
It is a clan of evolved human that are attuned to fire and have stronger emotions that are connected with fire
It’s a clan that has impressive and powerful females
It’s a clan that can surpass others clans even from more powerful races
It’s the Newdawn Clan, a clan who is in charge of bringing a new dawn to the humans
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attention!!!!
Now the Titan can change a being into one of the Newdawn Clan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Convert Into clan
Convert a being into a being of a clan that you created following the same steps as you did in the first time

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Ok, at least a lot of good things happened – Jack said looking at his new option – Can I use life energy in any other way other than to increase my energy reserves? – Jack asked the system hopeful.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life energy can be used into lots of things, is one of the most important forms of energies that exists
The Titan must discover the limits of life energy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Ok, so what the hell happened with me? I won’t tolerate not getting informed about why I am losing control of my body!!!! – He said emanating fury in a way that even the elements that he has control over are emanating from him but the answer of system made him furious in such a way that he even activated “Imperial Mantle” in max potency:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Titan must first reveal the true potential of its authority
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Haven’t I already done that?!?!?! – He shouted in rage feeling since he is with a mixture of anxiety since he feared that he could hurt those he cared about with the purest wrath from having knowledge withhold from him, and knowledge that seems to be related with something otherworldly since it can make him even control the energy that can be generated by the explosion of gunpowder in a bullet in Earth, which shouldn’t even have any kind of magic or way for humans be able to control energy directly! But the system at least felt the need to answer him on his question:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Titan’s authority is still almost fully locked
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Wait, what? – Hearing this made Jack feel surprised since if each unlock of his authority just made the authority stronger without consequences this means that his authority is extremely powerful – Ok, so what do I need to do to unlock my authority further? – He asked to the system hopefully.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Titan must discover how to unlock how to unlock its own authority
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Sigh, I feared this – He said depressed feeling that this system is helpful but still tries to hold information back using something that it seems hard to achieve – Well, until there I will try to unlock it along the way – Jack said already having a headache from the amount of work he will have to go through to unlock more of his authority but he also felt hopeful feeling that this could make him see things that would only appear in fantasy stories – Well, now it is time to go finish the job that I took – He said this and went back to gathering plants again without realizing that he is being watched by a young man stupefied by what he just saw:
- He, he, he just created a new race and his authority isn’t even unlocked? Gulp – The young man said stuttering and gulping afraid of how Jack would grow – I need to report this now – He said running.
----------------------------------------
After Jack finished gathering the plants, he decided to go back to the village but ended not to when he remembered that he gained a card to create a being of energy.
- When I created Boitatá I used the explosive power of gunpowder to generate enough fire so I could create it but then I made it eat that gang leader so it wouldn’t dissipate but here in Veritas the beings that are made of energy can take energy from the ambient so they won’t fear dissipating but I still want to be sure it can survive even in the direst situations – Jack said this and started to create a new kind of the element that he want to use to create this being, darkness, he decided to make a darkness that instead of the will to hide it will have the will to consume, he focused his attention in creating a darkness that could consume all energy be it elemental, life or even space (if it even exists) so it can take energy from those who are its targets or in the case of the creature, those who want to harm it, a darkness that, like a void, has the “will” to eat all energy and light but the result scared him a bit;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Titan has created a new type of darkness:
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
Void Darkness: A darkness that has similarities with the darkness that demons use but instead of corrupting it will consume anything from matter to energy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But seeing how good it is it gave hope to Jack so he decided to create a being using both of his darkness the first, “Silent Darkness”, to make it able to hide and the second, “Void Darkness”, to be able to defend itself and exists even in the worst situation. He decided to create a crow but as he was creating it the darkness started to change shape, get bigger, larger and with a different shape plus he also felt the need to put something there, something that resembled the Sun in all its glory so he put half of his attention in creating a fire that gave live to those who feel its heat but which also have the power to kill those who get too close.
In the end it became such a strong fire that even made the “Imperial Flame” seem weak, but this isn’t why Jack created this fire, he created it to make the creature that he is creating and when he put it in the creature it started to drain his energy and the energy from the world to make itself bigger and stronger but suddenly became smaller and landed in Jack shoulder while Jack fell in the ground from having his energy drained by this creature, that seemed like an eagle with three eyes, that he didn’t even know what it is but the system answered his question:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Titan has created a new type of fire:
Sun Fire: A fire that has all the glory and authority of the Sun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Titan has re-created a mythic creature Garuda
Garuda is still young so he can’t use his full power
He thinks of you as his father so you must teach the ways of life
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But then Jack couldn’t resist the exhaustion and fainted but not without creating a ball of concentrated “Sun Fire” so he could feed Garuda and protect them but he still couldn’t detect the beings who approached him be it to protect him or to kill him.
----------------------------------------
- That was definitely master – Said Yuki while hurrying to the place where Jack is.
- It seemed like he is weak now, we must protect him – Said Mina already thinking of ways to defend Jack.
----------------------------------------
- That was Exarion?!?!?! – Asked a young girl with a look of wisdom in her eyes while running with a young man – and you are telling me he did that after creating a new race???? – She said surprised that someone had enough energy to do such impressive things – He may not have all his abilities because he reseted himself but maybe he will have different kind of abilities – She said already imagining how powerful Jack could get.
----------------------------------------
- That felt like Garuda, but at the same time not – Said a being that looked like an Indian from Earth but with four arms – The only time that I felt something like that was I met that guy… Is he back?
----------------------------------------
- HAHAHA, that fucker is back and he is doing crazy things again – Laughed a being that looked like a dragon in human form joyfully and emanating a will to fight.
----------------------------------------
- So you are back… I wonder if you will go to war against the other Titans again or if you will just wage war against my kingdom or my race – Said a being that looked like a human but with snake appearance while remembering dark moments of the past.
----------------------------------------
- That was Jack – Said lord Ardryl – Go and rescue him – He said to an elf with a chain mail armor.
- Yes sir – The elf answered and started to leave but lord Ardryl stopped him.
- It is for the best if you take some troops with you, there will be another people there who will want to do something to him – The lord said already imagining since Jack just emanated an energy so pure and strong that maybe even beings in other continents detected it.
- Ok sir – The elf without truly understanding the level of danger that he is in.
----------------------------------------
- Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. He is back, HE is back, WE ARE SO DEAD – A being that has horns in both sides of his red, a purplish red skin and a tail with a fluffy end, he is with a being that looks like a mixture of a human with a goat that like him is desperate
- Ma, maybe if we surrender he won’t kill us – The goat man suggested trying to think positively.
- If we do this we must have a plan b – Said the horned being.
- Okay, I will try to think of a plan b – Said the goat man trying to calm himself down.
----------------------------------------
Sometime later Jack woke up in a room in a infirmary without knowing how much time passed and he noticed that he is in his Aragorn form so he felt a little safe, but then he remembered one thing: Garuda. He didn’t find him so he decided to see if he could detect the “Silent Darkness” that composed his body, he managed to find it and was surprised to discover that Garuda is in his shadow and to scary him a little and jumped in his shadow fast to make Garuda jump from the fright but when he entered his shadow he saw Garuda contracted and trembling so he decided to use “Sun Fire” in him to see if he could recover by eating, Garuda did move in the direction of the fire but didn’t eat it so worried Jack decided to focus all his stats into Garuda to sense if there is something wrong with him and what he sensed made him scared: Garuda has internal injuries that are making him leak energy at a rapid pace and making him weaker.
Seeing this Jack decided to use “Miracle Fire” with “Sun Fire” to heal Garuda, it worked but only a little which made jack worried for the well being of Garuda. Then Jack remembered one thing that he could manipulate that could heal Garuda: life energy. He came out of his shadow with Garuda in his arms and started to run to the forest without caring for anything more, he even broke the infirmary wall and wore “Imperial Mantle” to boost his stats so he could run faster.
When he arrived at the forest he spread his senses to detect anything that he could use to heal Garuda, he tried to do this while running so he could cover more ground, and after some time doing this he managed to detect a place with a large concentration of being that aren’t from this forest battling with being with familiar energies. When he arrived at the place he saw elves battling with Mina and Yuki that are battling with a being that look like a human but with snake features that is battling with what look like a dragon in human form that is battling with everyone and Jack could feel a group of beings that radiated a similar energy as the demons he dealt with and two beings who appeared to be humans: one that looked like a young adult and one that looked like a young girl.
Seeing all these being reunited Jack decided to conjure the “Righteous Fire” and the “Alchemical Life Fire” and told them – You will see if anyone has to much crimes and tell Alchemical Life Fire – He told to “Righteous Fire” calling “Alchemical Life Fire” for it entire name since he doesn’t know if there will be more Alchemical Life elements– And you will burn those who Righteous Fire tell to burn – He told to “Alchemical Life Fire” and then began a harvest of life energy.
The snake men fell having a good chunk of his life energy drained, some of the elves died on the spot, the dragon human had only a little bit of his life energy taken, those who looked like demons became so weak that a normal ant could kill them, the young man felt just a little of his life energy being drained in contrast with the young girl who had most of her life energy taken away while Mina and Yuki were free from this. All the life energy that was gathered and went upward where Jack was flighting with Garuda in his arms and it all went to Garuda which not only healed him but also started to give him enough energy to create a physical body.
----------------------------------------
- He is measuring our crimes – The young girl said weakly understanding what Jack did – After doing this he is draining our life energy based on our number of crimes, now he has a strange ability – She said not feeling resentful but only amazed at how good is Jack’s measurement capacities.
- But we fight to defend the beings of the world so why you have been drained so much??? – The young man asked feeling that they have been injustice.
- We protecting the people doesn’t give us blank card to do anything – The young girl explained – The things I did to accomplish our mission can be considered evil – She said pointing to her body – I think you already know this but this isn’t my body, I took over this body so I could continue my mission – She said feeling regretful now that even a Titan knew her crime.
- But… well… we… - The young man is in a state of shock, he tries to form phrases but he can’t think of anything he already suspected that there was something fishy about this senior in the organization but he didn’t expect it to be something so dark and to be said from her own mouth.
- He, I can see that you are surprised at least there are fewer people who do things like this in our organization than in others – She laughed darkly – Maybe sometime he will come to me for explanations on this – She said already feeling Jack’s disgust from the flames that burnt her.
----------------------------------------
- This!... – The elf who talked to lord Ardryl felt the disgust he has for humans is making his life being burned by the flames in the battlefield but he also understand that he is one of the luck ones since some of the elves here had all their lives burned away and used in a strange eagle by the man that they came here to save but that wasn’t here, they came searching for him and to save him in the name of their lord but when they arrived here there was a mini Sun above him protecting him but more people came here for him too and everyone began fighting and when no one was looking he just disappeared but now he reappeared and started burning everyone based on their crimes or evils while floating like some kind of great being – How can a dare to judge me!!! – He shouted while attacking Jack but he was shoved aside by Jack’s hand while he said:
- Eh? I am in human form? – Jack then looked at himself and noticed that he wasn’t in elven form – Well, I already did what I needed so I will mark those who have the highest crime levels and just leave – He said this cast some “Crests of Monitoring” and flew away leaving everyone stunned.
- Since master isn’t here, we will just walk away – Yuki said taking her daughter away.
----------------------------------------
After Jack came back to the village he made sure he was in elven form and decided to go to the alchemist again so he could complete the job when he arrived there he saw the same elf who went to the forest and waited for him to appear from the shadows talking to the alchemist so he waited until she exited the store but since she is delaying it to much he decided to interrupt the conversation:
- Hi, I am here to finish the job of gathering plants – Jack said putting a bag with the plants – Sorry for the delay, I had a problem – He said trying not to mention the problem involving that group of people.
- Oh, I was worried that something happened to you since yesterday you came back so quickly – The alchemist said taking the plants and giving Jack twenty (20) silver coins.
- Wait, mom this is to much for just some plants!!!! – She said exalted and revealing that the alchemist is her mother.
- My dear Arantra these plants are only encountered in a mare dangerous part of the forest and the plants that he take are only the best plants and they are in perfect state – The alchemist explained telling her why she paid double the payment from the other day.
- What!!! – Arantra shouted surprised to hear her mother saying that someone gathered plants perfectly so she opened the bag and became surprised just by the smell from the plants since they emanated such a strong medical scent that even her couldn’t say nothing against the plants – Woah… - She muttered stunned.
- Can I go now? – Jack asked since he already received his money and doesn’t want to stay near Arantra.
- Yes, but the next time you want a job you can come directly here to ask for one – Said the alchemist.
- Ok, bye – Jack said goodbye and left which left surprised Arantra with her mother.
- Mom, how can these plants be in such a state? – She asked since she never saw plants in such a state that even emanated a medical scent.
- Between the botanists there is a theory that when a being that has a good amount of energy and that is good, or do good things or at least has a good aura, stimulate the plants so this can show if a person is trustworthy – The alchemist explained – Well this is the theory at least – She said giggling.
- Someone trustworthy… - Arantra muttered thoughtful.
----------------------------------------
- I’m finally free, I was worried that she would notice that it was me that was in the forest – Jack said relieved – Well, now I know that I need to be careful when going there – He said already imagining the problems that could happen if Arantra discovered that Jack is the one she was following in the forest – Now I should try to think of way to unlock my authority – He said and then started to go to the forest but then sensed one thing that made he immediately traveled through the shadows to arrive there and in the place where he arrived he saw a young man and a young girl, but his fire already told him the truth of this young girl – So you were here – Jack said emerging from the shadows and with a mini Sun in his hand – Can you explain to me why you usurped someone’s body? – He asked emanating killing intent.
- So you really came – The young girl said accepting her fate, or what she thought it is her fate.
- Explain why you did this – Jack said trying to be reasonable.
- … ok … - The young girl said thinking that it is strange for “Exarion”, someone who have always been ruthless when dealing with evil would want and explanation before deciding what to do with her, but then she remembered that it seems that he reseted himself – To continue with my mission of protecting the weak being in the world I did what I thought it was necessary to carry the burden of a protector – She said but with each word she said she could feel the disgust emanating from Jack in such a way that even the plants of the forest were reacting and when she finished what she had to say the nature around them changed to more aggressive forms: every tree, bushes and even grass became bigger, sharper and grew thorns. This all made the young girl understand her place in Jack’s mind but then Jack’s entire eye changed into something that made even someone that saw as many thing as the young girl freeze and from Jack emanated a destructive aura that even damaged the young girl and the young man and she immediately understood something – You aren’t Exarion, even when he was in it’s most furious state he never had an aura that damaged things, he is a being of creation that is so ancient that it is thought that maybe he is as ancient as the world itself, so who are you that usurped Exarion’s authority? – She asked preparing to attack Jack at any moment even if it cost her life and soul but in a second everything changed when Jack opened his mouth and decided to say something:
- You who tries to fight against the most impossible odds should know that there is always another way – Jack said but the voice that came out seemed like a mountain moving slowly during an earthquake or the ocean that decided to eat the earth, overcoming everything in its way like a force of nature that can’t be challenged but the meaning his words were conveyed directly to the young girl’s mind and she understood what he meant: there are always lots of ways to do the same thing and she took one of the wrong ways. After "Jack" said this he collapsed and from his shadow Garuda came enveloped Jack in shadows and both of them disappeared in the shadows.
- That was Garuda… He revived Garuda and gave him new power… Who is he… - The young girl muttered stunned.
