The Tale of the Void Emperor

Tiana woke up in Athan's embrace and saw that Athan was looking at her lovingly.

" How was your rest? "

Tiana snuggled and said, " Never had I enjoyed a rest this good before. That's how I feel. "

They had a long kiss in each other's embrace as love filled the air.

After a while, They stood up and left the room through the lonely door unsupported by any structure and appeared in the hall's corridor.

Lina and Hera were already focusing on the white stone marble when Athan and Tiana arrived in the main hall.

They both also joined in and started focusing.

...

Minutes turned into hours, hours into days, and days into months as four months passed by in a blink of an eye. ( Blink your eyes if you haven't. )

In the past four months, Athan and Tiana just lay peacefully by each other's side, filled themselves with love and the presence of each other.

But today, As Athan was focusing, He felt an unknown force suddenly trying to get inside his body.

Lornell, who was carving the Runic patterns on the white stone marble while teaching them, paused and turned around before looking at Athan with a surprised expression.

Not just Athan and Lornell felt that strange force but everyone around Athan also felt this force trying to get inside Athan's body.

Ferinia neighed loudly and spoke, " Athan! Y-you succeeded. But why are you stop that force from going inside? Let it go inside; It's the profundities of being a Runic Artist. "

Athan was already feeling the similarities between this force and the force he was sensing on the white stone marble as he deactivated his void robe's power and let the strange force go inside his body.

After it went inside, Athan sensed it and saw that it moved near his Orderic Index and turned into a mass of golden light.

From that mass of golden light, golden sparks released and traveled to his soul as Athan gained the understanding and profundities of being a Runic Artist.

He closed his eyes and absorbed that knowledge.

After a while, He controlled the mass of golden light and brought it outside before waving his hands.

As he waved his hands, The mass of golden light also moved as it slowly condensed and constantly changed shape.

After ten minutes, Athan finally succeeded in creating his 1-star Runic Brush.

The qualification/stages of Runic Artists are recognized by the profundities of their brush. As Athan just had entry-level knowledge of Runic Arist, His brush also exuded that level of presence and force.

" Congratulations, Athan. " Lina and Hera congratulated Athan with a smile as they also became more determined and focused on the white stone marble.

Not everyone can succeed in becoming a person of any Order Occupation with the help of a Master in just one year. Some time take more than one, two, or even three years before they can start walking on the path.

" Good job, Athan. " Lornell spoke with a smile before she took out a book from her Storage ring before passing it to Athan as it floated towards him.

" Since there are still six months left before your terms come to an end, You can absorb the knowledge from that book as much as you can. It's very hard to progress in this order occupation as it requires a very high level of comprehension and a versatile mind. But it's also relatively simple to progress in Runic Arist if you have both of them at a high level. "

Lornell told Athan about other things related to Runic Arts and the book before she continued with the teaching.

After the first month, Lornell would come every fifteen days to carve runes on the white stone marble and tell them about the profundities of Runic Arts with practical uses.

" Athan, you go first and practice while I also focus here to catch up with you. " Tiana said with a smile as her eyes turned determined.

...

After Athan returned to his dimension room, He laid on the bed and started reading the book.

The first topic was entry-level runes structure.

[ Entry Level Runes Knowledge for practice ]

Athan infused his soul sense in the page as he sensed those basic runic patterns to comprehend them.

The book didn't tell me about how to create a ready-made book. No runic Artist can learn any ready-made runes from others. They first need to learn the basic principle to create runic patterns and infuse their own order force and soul energy with the desired effect to create Runes from them.

For instance, there are two Master Runic Artists, and both of them carved a Sense Enhancing Runic Art on a stone or anywhere.

But the catch in these two Sense Enhancing Runic Art is that both created the Art in a different way with their own understanding, and the potent effect of these two Sense Enhancing Runic Arts also differ due to that.

Runic Artist requires mainly order force, their Runic Brush and soul energy. Without these three, they can't carve a single complete rune with runic patterns while creating their Runic Art.

There are basic runic patterns that one can grasp from books and scrolls but how they create their runes from those patterns and complete a Runic Arts differs from each other.

Runic Artists can also create entirely new runic patterns with different aspects that are weaved into an effective Runic Art. Those patterns can be created by experimenting with their brush and use their comprehension to create new runic patterns with new effects.

So it goes like this: First comes the runic patterns that contain the basic aspects, and from those patterns, you create a Rune.

You combine these runes together in order and properly to create a proper Runic Art that does " something " like any effect, or power, or such thing.

Athan absorbed himself in the book as he learned the entry-level runic patterns.

After two hours, Athan stood up and took out his Runic Brush before muttering, " Let's try. "

He released his voidpulse and created a white stone marble before he started carving runic patterns on it.
