Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

After returning to the ocean surface, Zevien and Vernisia flew to the sky and headed towards the land.

"There is a sanctuary forest in that land," Vernisia said as she pointed her hand in the west direction where the sea ended, and the land started with lush trees. "You will see many people there, mostly natives. But I have seen some people from Astral Land passing by as well."

"So, what's the specialty of that forest? The name sounds good," Zevien asked curiously.

"Haha, it's very safe. You can't attack anyone there, and others also can't attack you. The only thing you can do there is to learn spell and magic concepts or practice your magic occupation."

Zevien was speechless as he didn't imagine there would be a place like that.

…

Both of them soon arrived on the land and entered the sanctuary forest. There were many big trees and tiny glowing insects that radiated gentle lights. The entire forest was mostly green with colorful flowers and plants, tiny ponds and lakes, a flowing river, and beautiful hills.

Zevien and Vernisia sat on a wide branch of a gigantic tree as they decided to stay in this area until the magic labyrinth kicked them out.

"Should we learn this tier-3 spell? It's a movement-type spell, I think?" Vernisia took out the magic spell scroll they got from the dungeon's golden treasure chest.

*****

<Lightning Dash>

-Type: Movement-type Tier-3 spell

-Effect: Consume 5000 mana to quickly dash anywhere around you within 20 meters radius, like a lightning bolt. During the dash, you can direct a lightning bolt to a target within 20 meters.

"It's a good magic spell," Zevien nodded. "Let's learn it just for the sake of it. We can always use these magic concepts inside a spell concept when the situation calls for it. Hoarding knowledge is the basis of a strong magician."

"Yep," Vernisia nodded with a smile as she stuck the scroll on the trunk before she and Zevien focused and started comprehending the spell concept.

Since it was a tier-3 spell, they wouldn't even be able to comprehend it in a day. So, they comprehended what they could until the exit call from the magic labyrinth arrived and started meditating to resist the exit pull.

…

"Nice, we managed to stay inside for 4 hours and 21 minutes," Vernisia smiled happily. "My magic power is 1628 now."

"Good," Zevien nodded before he took out Alucard's Digi-watch and activated it. "Let me see if Dan and others applied to the guild yet. They were going to the Magic Guild headquarters this morning."

However, when Zevien looked at the join request notification, he was dumbfounded. "Woah… twenty-two people requested to join."

"So many?" Vernisia was startled before she shook her head and wryly smiled. "An E-rank clan can only have twenty members. Well, add our group first. Normally, we'll have to personally meet the people who want to join and assess them. But we can be full, for now, since it's a new clan."

"Hmm, I've added Dan, Erica, Kerolin, Tigger, Jacky, Leena, Roman, and Hemil. Surprisingly, Afina and Kaal also applied," Zevien raised his eyes as he saw Afina and Kaal on the list.

"Oh? Haha, that's good. Let's add them," Vernisia said.

"Done. The clan is full now." Zevien said. "There was a message from Carmaine that her two friends applied, so I added them."

"Hmmm, we need 2500 contribution points to elevate clan rank to D-rank," Zevien said.

"We already have 120, haha. Lax and others must have completed at least two E-rank missions, since one E-rank mission gives 50 to 80 contribution points," Vernisia said with a smile.

*Ding…*

Zevien got a message from Dan.

[Hey, Zev. Since we are at the Magic Guild, we will complete some missions by creating groups and getting contribution points while interacting with the other members for today.]

[Alright.] Zevien sent back a reply.

On the other hand, the clan chat became lively after many new members joined.

[-Clan Chat-]

Lax- [Ok, so that's decided. Since everyone except for Zevien and Vernisia is present, let's gather in the resting area in the Magic Guild and make three groups of six members. Group A will be Reika, Miha, Jonathan, and I. Two of you can join us to make it complete.]

Dan- [Group B will consist of me, Erica, Afina, Kaal, Jacky, and Leena. Are you okay with that, Afina and Kaal?]

Afina- [No problem.]

Carmaine- [Hmm, Laoshi and Rinisha are my friends, so we three will be together.]

Laoshi-[Yep. We three have good synergy.]

Medro- [I am a solo, so I can join any group. Also, since we have students at the Skyward Academy, they will be in pairs. So, I'll join Carmaine, Laoshi, and Rinisha while a pair from the Skyward academy can join us.]

Hemil- [Me, me! Roman and I will join that group of three girls! Don't worry, I am very gentle and good-looking. I can also be your sugar daddy if you want to.]

Roman- [Don't mind this guy. But Medro's proposal is good. We'll join you, so that's the 3rd group ready.]

Tigger- [Well, then the three groups are ready. Me and my Kerolin will join Group A.]

Rinisha- [my Kerolin? Haha.]

Tigger- [Cough… mistakenly wrote that, but it's true.]

…

"Dan made a balanced team, haha. Since Tigger and Kerolin have two magic labyrinths, they can do better in other teams instead of all four of them in one group," Zevien said.

"True. Anyway, since they are doing missions, then let's also complete some quests," Vernisia said as she got off from the bed.

…

Zevien and Vernisia left their abode and flew towards the Quest hall.

After they entered, they went to the counter.

"Hmm, they are mostly about bringing materials, ingredients, some parts of specific magic beasts, and delivering things to other towns," Zevien muttered as he looked at the quest list. "There are four quests that need to be completed today. Let's accept two each and complete them."

"Alright," Vernisia nodded.
