Three and a Half Years Later...
A handsome, silver-grey-haired youth sat cross-legged in meditation within a high-class mana cultivation chamber.
His eyes remained shut, his breathing deep and rhythmic, creating a visible swell of mana before his nostrils.
The vortex he generated caused the already dense ambient mana within the chamber to thicken until it became tangible— rainbow-coloured tendrils of energy flowed into his nose, while a steady stream of bluish-white mana exhaled from his mouth moments later.
He continued this cyclic process, repeating it over three hours.
When he finally stopped, his forehead glistened with sweat, and the back of his robes clung to his body, soaked through.
He opened his eyes, revealing pupils of brilliant ruby-red, with faint flecks of gold shimmering around the irises.
This youth was none other than Alex Fury.
