MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

Chapter 324 Titans

Once Alex and Venedikt left the hotel, their faces broke into radiant smiles that lasted until they reached the city’s outskirts, and then, a burst of joyous laughter erupted, celebrating the success of their deal.

They both knew that the guild had no choice, and whether they liked it or not, they would need to bend their pride and accept the given deal.

Alex knew the guilds would easily find out that only the Domain Ruler could have the means to produce entry tokens and, with a bit of help from Zero, would find out that he was a player and most certainly a member of the organization.

They would also easily discover that the new Domain Ruler was selected just a few months ago, and all that would lead them to two conclusions.

First, The organization made its appearance and concluded various high-profile deals, with Alden from the Gedeon family, with Frozen Flower Guild, Ravenglades Guild, and lastly, the Chosen Champions Guild days before a new Ruler was selected.

This would dispel any doubts that the organization was what it was because of a single individual and cement its presence in their mind as the colossal shadowy giant who could give things of immense value like candy before they even have access to the magical fairyland of the Malefis Domain.

After discovering all that, they would also realize they had an abysmal chance of getting the Domain Ruler on their side or making a private deal with him.

So, they wouldn’t even try to attempt anything, fearing that it might offend and jeopardize their relationship with the organization, about which they knew very little.

All this would only make them happily accept the deal, with their only concern being to convince the organization not to give any other or as few as possible guilds entry for as long as they can so they could get a strong foothold.

Alex had the five big factions in the palm of his hand, and a few months later, they would not only be helping with the problems of Malefis Domain but also making him an unfathomable amount of money, resources, and so on without him even needing to lift a finger.

After celebrating the moment for a few minutes, Venedikt left toward the city to prepare best to start tackling his legacy quests, while Alex returned to the human continent and came back to the domain moments later, but this time with his two guardians.

Alex was going to spend most of the next two months or so training, and Varon decided that he should spend them inside the royal palace training chambers to make the most out of them.

Alex was eager to check out the training chambers from the day he heard about them as the best that there were in the entirety of the domain, making many palace workers work in the palace just to have access to them.

As Alex opened his eyes in the royal palace, Varon greeted him with a warm and welcoming smile, and after the greeting, he opened a portal that took them to a grand chamber at a place unknown.

Alex felt different the moment he stepped out of the portal and into the chamber, and the sudden shift was not because of the grandeur of the chamber, but he felt a connection, something deep within him act up, yet it disappeared as swiftly as it had appeared.

Alex took a moment to understand what he just felt but quickly ignored it, thinking it most likely had something to do with a barrier protecting these training chambers.

Alex shifted his focus to the chamber that boasted an air of ancient power, with its size stretching to nearly sixty meters in length, but the true grandeur lay not in its vastness but in the aura it exuded, a palpable sense of ageless history.

The walls of the chamber, a fusion of colors and textures, were a testament to the craftsmanship of the highest order. Streaks of gold, ebony, and pristine white were lined in contrast, creating an intricate tapestry that seemed to shift and shimmer in the ambient light.

Above, the ceiling arched gracefully, its ornate patterns and long stretching lines illuminated by an ethereal glow.

The true marvel and the centerpiece of the grand chamber were the towering doors, exquisite masterpieces of craftsmanship, with each door having its unique, captivating beauty, located on both sides of the wall with few feet of empty walls separating them.

‘Marvelous,’ Alex thought as he stopped his eyes on the first door that was closest to him.

The door stood twenty feet in height, made from an unknown metal, and moments of looking at it made Alex hear a deep hum and a feeling of cold and dampness, which he quickly recognized as something he felt while in an ocean.

The figure of a man from an unknown race was meticulously carved onto the door, his appearance so lifelike that it almost seemed as if he might step out of the door at any moment.

The colors and textures were incredibly vivid, and even the moisture on the creature’s clothing and skin looked so real that it tempted Alex to reach out and touch it just to confirm its authenticity.

As Alex raised his head to meet the eyes of the creature and moments after his eye contact words “Oceanus – Titan of Water” like a thunderclap, rang in his ear, making him freeze up for an instant before making him shit his eyes toward Varon and two guardians who just smiled at him.

Alex didn’t ask any questions and returned to looking at the creature, who now he knew as Oceanus, the titan of water.

Oceanus had a handsome yet imposing humanized face with high cheekbones, a wide jaw, and a pointy chin, and he had deep blue eyes, the color of the deep chasm, with his skin being of such a light blue hue that it almost appeared white, while his head bore elongated, fin-like bones covered in thin, webbed skin, resembling a crown.

He had long arms that looked like winding muscles, like thin threads without any skin covering them, but with another look, they looked more like an uncountable number of tentacles layered over each other.

His upper body was bare, displaying chiseled muscles that didn’t make sense from a human anatomy perspective, but they made him more of a monster than he already appeared, with him wearing deep blue hakama pants as his only clothing.

The entire door was designed with oceanic themes, with waves and tsunamis being carved in layers and layers, with so much detail and things to marvel at that Alex could spend the next few hours just finding them and getting amazed by how they were made.

Alex gave one last look at the door in full view before he moved to the next one, which was a stark contrast to it, being batheth in life-like flames, sending skin curling heat toward Alex.

Alex looked into the fiery eyes of a man who stood in a loose, firey robe with much of his upper body on display, and same as before, loud words “Hyperion – Titan of Fire” like the flaming roars thundered in his mind.

Alex spent a few minutes looking at the long-bearded man, whose whole demure screamed superiority and pride, and then, instead of moving to the next one, he decided to check the door on the opposite side before moving forward.

Alex spun around, and as he did, his curiously roaming eyes landed on the end of the room, and there he saw a door much more grandeur in size than others, at least reaching forty feet in height, and the carved figure upon it was none other than someone he was very familiar with.

‘Cronos’ Alex thought, looking at the man seated upon a throne, with his void like deep eyes looking straight at him.𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
