By learning more about runic armaments, runic constellations, and tips about how to make even the most difficult and complex connections between runic constellations much easier to learn and to recreate,  Nial faced no difficulty in engraving all the runic constellations on his primary Ancient Origin ring.

It was the first of many Ancient Origin rings he would create, but it was also the easiest one.

However, even the easiest one required numerous runic constellations to be engraved with each of them being as difficult to engrave as a Tier-0 runic constellation.

But this was not the issue. Rather, it was the fact that all the runic constellations were tightly connected, and were influencing one another, creating a web of runic constellations that turned into one single giant runic constellation.

And this constellation was even more difficult to engrave than a Tier-1 runic constellation! After all, a combined network of several hundred runic constellations was not easy to create, not if you were not allowed to make the slightest mistake!

In the last few months, mana had never been Nial's issue. He had absorbed more than enough mana to create the rough frame of his Ancient Origin ring.

But so far, Nial had never mustered the courage to engrave the runic constellations on the Ancient Origin ring's frame. Fortunately, this was no problem and Nial had focused on the creation of the entire Ancient Origin ring, with the sole exception of engraving runic constellations on it.

Only after learning from Crevian's vast knowledge for more than two months did Nial finally dare to engrave the first runic constellation.

Everything he had learned from the Old Elf was imprinted in his mind, and no hesitation could be seen when Nial engraved the runic constellations on the Ancient Origin ring, which he had manifested outside his body.

Manifesting Origin rings was not supposed to be possible under normal circumstances, and it was impossible to achieve it if one was an 'ordinary' existence.

Fortunately, Nial an extraordinary existence who found himself in the most peculiar circumstances more often than he cared to admit.

He had to manifest the Ancient Origin ring in front of him to engrave something on it. Thus, he manifested it when he went to an isolated place where he stayed on his own for nearly three weeks.

During these three weeks, Nial didn't remember to have slept, at all. But that was of no concern to Nial right now.

His entire mind was focused on the final step to creating his primary Ancient Origin ring.

It was merely the first step toward true strength but it was an important one.

Not many existences were able to create unique Origin rings, simply because their strength and true potential were not yet unleashed while being at such a low rank.

While the human race had created three different ranks, namely the Prym, Seclon and Tritan rank based on the difficulty of creating another Origin ring after the third and sixth Origin ring would increase drastically, it was merely one rank for Elves and other races to cross.

This was something Nial had always presumed to be the case because the nine Ancient Origin rings he could create were one complex compound that would overlap with one another, amplifying their strength further.

At the same time, each rank usually determined a change in the way one improved their strength by advancing their mana core.

The Origin rank ended when the first Origin ring was created and the Prometheus rank began once the Origin rings were connected to the mana core and merged with it.

However, all of this was not something Nial could focus on when he made the final stroke on the Ancient Origin ring that was finally completed.

It began to glow brightly upon being completed, and the temperature shot up by a lot, filling the isolated space he was in with a searing heat.

Without Nial's influence, the Ancient Origin ring began to rotate. At first, Nial was worried about this. He felt that something had gone wrong, and he was about to panic when his Mana Sense detected something.

"You need mana? Then come to me, I'll give you more mana than you could wish for."

From a sudden state of panic, Nial calmed down in an instant. His mind was cleared and a bright smile appeared on his face as he held out his hand.

And as if on cue, the Ancient Origin ring stopped rotating. It moved on its own making him doubt if the Ancient Origin ring had suddenly attained sentience.

However, that was not the case. Every action of the Ancient Origin ring was programmed, and the step it was currently working on was to create a connection with Nial, the being, who had created it, and being, who promised to provide more mana than it could wish for.

The edge of the Ancient Origin ring touched Nial's fingertip, and it felt as if his entire being was shaken as the Ancient Origin ring disappeared.

It was still glowing, demanding an endless amount of mana. Nial's mana core was drained in an instant but the Ancient Origin ring didn't show any signs of being filled up.

At this moment, Nial had already appeared at the door of the Isolated room. He took a step outside and returned to the Forest of Life, where his body was instantaneously flooded with streams of mana currents.

"Were you waiting for me to return? In that case, all of you can come to me. I will accept every little trace of all of you!"

Nial's voice was not loud. However, it was as if his words reached every nook and cranny of the Forest of Life.

Everyone's head turned in his direction, while the mana from all over the Forest of Life streamed toward its center, exactly where Nial was located.

*Bum*

*Bum Bum*

*Bum Bum*

*Bum Bum* *Bum Bum*

Nial's heart started to beat rapidly the moment he sensed the humongous amount of mana that flowed in his direction.

However, there was not only one heartbeat. The Odyssey seed was beating in tandem with the rhythm of his heart. Encouraged to beat through the Ankh that was glowing brightly while shrouding itself in vigor, the Odyssey seed began to thump.

At the beginning, it had been inconspicuous, and impossible to notice for Nial. However, the moment he had stepped outside the isolated room, the inconspicuous heartbeat shook his entire being.

He stopped dead in his tracks while trying to process what was going on.

'I knew that something would happen after I created my primary Origin ring. But this is different from the experiences shared by Mathias, Miranda, and everything written in the reports online...' Nial could barely think before his entire body was struck by the sudden influx of mana.

A huge dome of mana had formed around Nial because of the humongous amount of mana that wanted to enter his body.

Nial was ready to accept everything but the moment the first traces of mana entered the Ancient Origin ring, he realized that he might have been too ambitious.

'My body is burning!!' He wanted to scream but not a single noise escaped his mouth.

Nial's leg wanted to give in, but the compressed mana all around him prevented him from moving.

Slowly, dark energy was released from his body, generated by the mana the Odyssey seed forcefully abducted from the Ancient Origin ring.

Beating wildly, the Odyssey seed seemed just like a second heart. However, instead of pumping blood through his veins, the Odyssey seed's purpose was to circulate mana through his body, to absorb and annex the mana that entered his body willingly, and to guide it to the location it ought to be.

Nial's mind blanked out, and every single cell in his body felt like it was melting in the searing hot mana that ravaged his body.

The dark energy released by the Odyssey seed prevented his body from collapsing due to the overload of mana that wanted to infiltrate him. It created a firm layer of darkness around him, protected him, and guided even the faintest trace of mana through his body.

At this moment, Nial didn't even notice that his clothes had long since been torn and reduced to shreds by the mana around him, that the blueish dome of mana that had shrouded him had been engulfed by dark energy, let alone that a crowd of Elves had appeared in the center of the Forest of Life.

It was impossible for the Elves of the Forest of Life to use the mana around them that was supposed to love them. It was supposed to be under their control, and obey their commands.

However, right now, a measly human, someone, who was likely to become a True Destroyer had stolen the privilege the Elves were the proudest of; the love they received from mana!

Under normal circumstances, various emotions such as anger, envy, and even hatred would fill the Elves upon noticing a stranger snatching their privilege from them.

But that was not the case right now, at all. Everyone stared at the unfolding phenomenon with shock, confusion and a trace of excitement.

There was no mana in the surrounding area anymore, everything had gathered around Nial to protect him, to allow him to advance without hindrance and to become much stronger than anyone else.

Everyone could tell that Nial was advancing to the Mirae rank, the rank that followed the Origin rank. Nial had created his primary Origin ring.

Yet, even if he created his first Origin ring, the current phenomena were far beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Crevian, who had witnessed many things in his long life that was filled with miracles and unique adventures, couldn't help but feel that Nial's advancement was out of the ordinary.

The vigor released by the young man was overwhelming, even for existences at the Prometheus rank. They had never seen so much vigor within an existence at or below the Prometheus rank.

However, right now, an existence, who was just advancing to the Mirae rank harbored enough vigor and was the object of obsession of the surrounding mana to prevent anyone from continuing with the tasks they had been doing.

Even the human Originals outside the Forest of Life began to notice that something was happening inside the Forest of Life.

It was not easy for them to perceive anything because of the Forest's size. However, the lack of mana was something every Original could instinctively feel.

"What is going on there?" Tyson asked, his hair standing up on end. His eyes were filled with doubts as he stared over to the center of the Forest of Life.

Eeriness overcame him for the first time in his life. Tyson had no idea what was happening, but his instincts had never betrayed him so far. He could tell that something big was just happening, and it irked him that he had no idea what was going on.

Many human Originals were as confused as him. Nobody outside the Forest of Life knew what was going on but all of them felt a sense of danger from the Forest of Life at this very moment.

If Silvian were to be present, even he wouldn't know any better.

After all, the current phenomenon was not something that was supposed to happen upon advancing to the Mirae rank!

While everyone's attention was on the Forest of Life's center, Nial was completely oblivious to everything that happened around him.

His entire body felt like it was melting. He was not even sure if he was still alive. Everything was painful, but at the same time, it was as if a soothing sensation swept through him.

Nial had never imagined that the aftermath of creating his primary Origin ring would be so devastating. Not even in the memories of the God of Darkness had advancing in the ranks been that painful, or unique...not even when he reached the higher ranks.

However, Nial knew that it was not a bad sign either. His breakthrough was unique, his Ancient Origin ring was exceptional, and he could tell that various changes were happening to his entire existence, including his Odyssey seed, and the Ankh!

Time passed without giving Nial the opportunity to think, and just when he thought that everything would be over, the voice of the deceased God of Darkness echoed in his empty mind.

[Don't let my memories use you. Learn from my mistakes, prevent them from being repeated, and be better than I was, be stronger, be more ruthless.]

[Don't reveal any weaknesses to your enemies, or your friends. Overcome the hindrances the others will lay in your path, and protect the people you hold dear.]

[Don't be like me. Live your own life, walk on your own path, and become better than I could have ever been!!]
