Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe-Chapter 766: Vast Expanse (Ko-fi Bonus - )

'I awoke this morning beneath the blue-leafed canopy of the Baja High Forest, where the trees hum when you sleep, and whisper when you dream.

'The air tastes faintly of mint and magic. It reminded me of the time I visited Elderwood in my home planet.

'Sunlight streams through leaves the color of sapphire, dancing across moss like tiny golden spirits. I am reminded of my home once again.

'In Myrrandor, even the silence was alive.

'I wonder… will I ever be able to return to my world? Will I ever get to see my wife and children again?'

***

'Today, I befriended a mighty sea turtle from Galestine. Its strength was equivalent to mine—a Mana Core Magus!

'Despite all that power, the turtle was the kindest and most gentle creature I have ever come across. Tebu is his name.

'It reminds me of a city built upon the back of a fish in the deep seas of Myrrandor. They call it Arenthal.

'It drifts across the waters, anchored only by the songs of its inhabitants. When the city's bell tolls, it is not just time that is marked, but weather and mood as well.'

***

'The peoples of Myrrandor are as varied as the moons that orbit it. The Emberkin of the volcanic isles wear obsidian masks and breathe steam.

'The Veilbirds live in drifting settlements, shrouded in a permanent fog, their forms ever-shifting, their names whispered and long forgotten.

'I once shared tea with a woman who did not speak, yet told me the story of her life with a smile and a single touch on my shoulder.

'Such are the wonders there!

'Oh, how much I miss my home…'

***

'The magic in Myrrandor is not merely a force, it is a language, a breath, a memory.

'In Myrrandor, you do not cast a spell. You remember it, and in the remembering, it becomes real.

'Some spells are so old that no one lives who remembers them anymore… so they lie sleeping in the bones of mountains and the dreams of dragons.'

'Bartholomew is a splendid Magus. In all my travels, he is the most talented Magus I have come across in Tron.

'His curiosity and thirst for the arcane is deep, and his mind is a realm of myriad wonders. Discussing the mysteries of the Way with him is something I greatly enjoy.

'His gift in spell-casting is profound enough that even if he were to be born in Myrrandor, I believe he would still be hailed as a genius.

'Alas, it is his greatest misfortune to be born in such a distant planet where mana is so sparse. I'm afraid he can never become a Rank 5 - Mana Seed Magus.

'And neither can I…

'Oh, such a tragedy!'

***

'As I lay on the grassy plains of Yen-lu, gazing at Selene and Luna, I am once again reminded of my home.

'I remember, on one fateful night, one of Myrrandor's moons wept silver rain. It happens once every couple of generations, and the droplets carry prophetic visions.

'I stood beneath it, eyes closed, and saw a land covered in death and darkness, and an army of undead marching across it.

'A warning? A gift? Myrrandor never gives answers, only questions wrapped in wonder.

'But now that I think of that vision, I believe that it was fate that led me to Tron. A land covered in death and darkness, and an army of undead…

'Perhaps, not now, but in a hundred years? A thousand years?

'I must make arrangements and prepare for that day…

'This world is my second home. I must do everything in my power to protect it!

'The 8th Code of the Twilight Brotherhood - Defend against evil, confront darkness and malevolence wherever it rises.'

***

'After almost a century of studying the celestial phenomenon in this solar system, I have come to discover something… truly heartbreaking.

'The next planetary alignment is thousands of years away. I'm afraid I will not live to see that day.

'Oh, Selene! Oh, Luna! Why must you remind me of Myrrandor every time I look at you? So close, yet forever out of reach.

'My love, my children, please forgive me.

'I… can never be home again.'

Out of the three diaries, only one contained the founder's personal journal entries. The other two contained his notes on rune magic as well as other fundamental arcane knowledge.

By the time Adam had finished reading the journal, the sun was almost about to set, and the twin moons had already taken to the sky.

He couldn't help but turn towards Selene and Luna, gazing at them with a slight frown.

What did he mean by Selene and Luna reminding him of his home planet? He thought, perplexed.

What did the founder discover after studying the solar system?

What is the significance of the planetary alignment?

After reading the founder's journal, more questions emerged in Adam's mind. But he was finally able to confirm one thing.

The Twilight Brotherhood was indeed an organization that spanned multiple planets!

Moreover, he also found out the name of the planet the founder had come from.

"Myrrandor," the youth muttered under his breath.

Adam closed his eyes and leaned back, recalling the memories of the experts from the Greater Universe.

In the Greater Universe, the planets were categorized into three tiers based on their density of mana.

They were low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier.

The density of mana in each of these planets determined how far a Magus could advance in their arcane path.

For example, low-tier planets in the Greater Universe could only allow a Magus to reach Rank 6. Mid-tier planets allowed one to reach Rank 8. Whereas, high-tier planets allow the Magus to reach Rank 10.

Adam opened his eyes and a brilliant light flashed in them.

"Myrrandor… is a high-tier planet!"

And not only that, Myrrandor was considered the greatest, if not one of the greatest high-tier planets in the Greater Universe.

But none of that would matter if I'm unable to leave Tron, he thought with a grim expression.

From reading the founder's journals, he was able to learn some things very important, however.

Adam involuntarily turned towards the twin moons, gazing at them deeply.

From the journals, it was evident that they held deep meaning to the founder of the Twilight Brotherhood. That, and the mystery of the planetary alignment.

Selene and Luna bear secrets to leaving Tron, he thought.

They hold the key to the vast expanse and the boundless wonders of the Greater Universe!
