Idle Mage: Humanity's Strongest Backer-Novel



An urgent report just came in...

The tension in the war room was palpable as the Grand Commanders, Alice, Blake, and Mary, gathered around a holographic display. Reports of a sighting had reached their ears— a colossal wormhole had materialized near the Blue Marble Planet. The magnitude of this discovery sent shockwaves through their hearts, stirring a sense of urgency and foreboding.

The holographic display flickered to life, projecting an image of the stabilized wormhole. It glowed with an ominous energy, pulsating with otherworldly hues. The Grand Commanders exchanged troubled glances, fully aware of the implications that lay before them.

As the wormhole stabilized, a swarm of scout ships emerged from its depths, their sleek and formidable designs unmistakable. The Grand Commanders watched with a mix of alarm and resolve as the celestial and hypogean vessels made their appearance, a chilling reminder of the imminent threat they faced.

Alice clenched her fists, her eyes narrowing with determination. "This is it," she declared, her voice laced with a steely resolve. "The enemy has shown their hand. We cannot afford to hesitate any longer."

Blake's face hardened, his gaze fixed upon the holographic display. "Prepare our forces for immediate engagement," he commanded, his voice carrying an unwavering authority. "We will face them head-on and defend our home."

Mary, the Oracle Sage, brought her hands together, her fingers entwining in a gesture of contemplation. Her eyes shimmered with ancient wisdom, as she mentally prepared herself for what was to come.

The urgency in the war room intensified, soldiers and strategists, springing into action, rallying their forces and fortifying their positions. The call to arms echoed across the Blue Marble Planet, reaching every corner of human civilization, as the realization sunk in that the war they had long prepared for was now upon them.

The skies above the Blue Marble Planet erupted in a symphony of lights and energy as the celestial and hypogean scout ships appeared, casting ominous shadows upon the hearts of the planet's citizens. Humanity's response was swift and resolute, though. Defense systems were activated, interceptors launched, and a wave of determination swept through the ranks of soldiers and cultivators alike.

In the face of this sudden provocation, humanity stood united. The countless hours of training, the breakthroughs in technology and magic, and the unwavering spirit of their people had prepared them for this very moment. The time for negotiations and peaceful coexistence had come to an end. Now, the clash of worlds was inevitable.

With hearts aflame and eyes fixed on the enemy, the Grand Commanders led their forces to meet the incoming threat head-on. They understood the weight of their responsibility, the burden of leadership, and the dire consequences of failure. But they also carried within them a flicker of hope, a belief in the indomitable human spirit, and the knowledge that they fought not only for themselves but for the future of all humanity.

As the first salvos of battle echoed across the cosmos, the war had truly begun. The fate of the Blue Marble Planet hung in the balance, and the grand saga of humanity's struggle against the celestial and hypogean forces had commenced. The time for heroes to rise, sacrifices to be made, and legends to be forged had arrived. The war had claimed its opening act, and the curtain of destiny had been drawn.

Meanwhile, Ashton sat in his office, a room adorned with maps, holographic displays, and tactical reports. His gaze shifted from one screen to another, absorbing the intricate details of the ongoing war. The room was filled with a low hum of activity as officers hurriedly passed by, relaying crucial information and coordinating strategies.

His eyes narrowed as he assessed the unfolding battlefield. He knew that his time to join the fray would come, but for now, his role was to strategize, to analyze the ebb and flow of the conflict, and to provide guidance to his commanders on the ground. The weight of responsibility rested heavily on his shoulders, but he carried it with unwavering determination.

Despite his calm exterior, a storm of emotions raged within Ashton. He felt the burden of leading his people through this dire hour, the weight of countless lives resting on their decisions. Doubt occasionally crept into his mind, but he quickly dismissed it, reminding himself of the unwavering resolve that had brought them this far.

Ashton's hand hovered over a holographic display, tracing the movements of the Celestial and Hypogean forces. He felt a mix of anger, frustration, and determination. They had breached the sanctity of their homeworld, threatened the lives of their people, and it was a debt that would be repaid in kind.

In this moment of stillness, Ashton steeled his resolve. He knew that the time for action would come soon when he would join his comrades on the battlefield and lead the charge against their common enemy. But for now, he remained focused, analyzing every detail, ensuring that when his time came, he would be prepared to unleash the full might of the Mystic Guild and the Morning Sun Federation.

Deep down, Ashton held onto the hope that their collective efforts, their sacrifices, and their unwavering spirit would lead them to victory. As he observed the war procedures from his office, he vowed to do everything in his power to protect his people, safeguard their future, and to bring an end to the tyranny of the Celestial God and his schemes.

With resolve burning in his eyes, Ashton leaned back in his chair, taking a moment to gather his thoughts. The war raged on, but he knew that when his time came to step onto the battlefield, he would do so with a heart filled with courage, a mind sharp with strategy, and the determination to ensure that humanity would prevail against all odds.
