Chapter 7. Destiny is cruel.
The second day of training went well. Tyndraid was depressed because he forgot he can use light magic which means, healing.
Yesterday went bad because he underestimated his capabilities. He had a lot of wounds and lost a lot of blood. He understood his mistakes. He must dodge and watch his surroundings and must be cautious of every unexpected event and make use of everything he has.
The training after that went better because he has a better understanding of what he should do. A dogfight kind of situation didn't happen.
His relationship with Ashley was awkward after he woke up, but things got better with time. Training was hard, but he scooped up with it.
But, After living in the world for three months, he discovered a couple of things.
The world is different than what he expected it to be.
Cars, machine guns, busses, motorcycles, and such things all still existed.
It wasn't the same apocalypse world he has seen at the start. People used these old world's machines as weapons and transportation vehicles.
But it's expected that petrol and gas will go out of storage.
New materials were discovered. These materials were as strong as steel but as common as copper, and some were stronger than diamond.
Some material were able to store magic and enhance magic spells.
Smiths worked day and night until they came up with a weapon that looked like a gun Which was made from new world's material, and had a spell formation drawn into it, allowing it to shoot fireballs instead of bullets. Usually, only hunter related classes who uses the bow can equip themselves with long ranged weapons. If a warrior who holds a great sword try to equip himself with a bow, it would immediately give him a shockwave, forcing him to drop it. But for some reason whatever, everyone can hold this new weapon.

The order chased the monsters out of their territory to make a base, But since the gates of the cities from the game world haven't yet opened, they can't build walls around them. So they had to live a significant distance away from the city walls. Also, they secured gas stations, vehicles, mines, farms, and roads.
The Order had its headquarter as the only skyscraper that hadn't disappeared in the area which was explored and cleaned from monsters. Small walls were built around the headquarter itself and 10 meters high, 3 meters wide walls were built around the city. And also, they built a wall every 400 meters.
The size of the city they were living in can easily sustain more than two million lives.
The Adherents didn't sit around idly.
The order tried to own all the weapons and vehicles, But a black market was created, and some were sold to The Adherents. The Adherents bought it using magic crystals that can be found inside of monsters.
Everything they got their hands on was purchased. That is an order given by Tyndraid. Trades were made outside the underground world of course. Tyndraid gave a couple of rules on that subject. The businesses must be dealt with in some deserted place which was far away from the territory of The Order, must take a couple of turns and change of transportation vehicles and be cautious to the maximum, all of that it to ensure the safety of The Adherents.
And that was, of course. Wasn't all of it. Tyndraid requested that in two months time, the average level must be 15. Everyone thought it would be easy, but never did they think it was the hardest thing they ever have done. Tyndraid himself worked until death to reach level 15 in two months after joining The Adherents.

Tyndraid made a decision; Natalia can have quantity, and he will have quality.
Everything was going as planned. War never stopped, it just became between the shadows. The Order couldn't find The Adherents while the Adherents couldn't do a lot and must be extremely cautious.
Tyndraid knew. With this kind of group, who had almost 20,000 members won't be able to hide for too long, Someone will miss up. It's destined to happen, but, until then, he must get stronger and raise the quality of the members to be able to withstand the attacks, he don't want to see people who have faith in him die for himself.
Even though he felt desperation whenever he thought about Natalia, he felt happiness being with Ashley and The Adherents, getting to know The inheritance title holders and others, Spending nights with thousands of people drinking and dancing, it gave him hope in this life. This is his real wish, to have a chance in this life, to feel happiness.
but... Destiny is cruel...
"BOOM!!"
Tyndraid heard while he was checking on his stats.
"INTRUDERS!"
"BFF"! The door of his room was destroyed, and it was Ashley.
"what's going on?!"
"THE ORDER CAME, WE MUST RUN!" she said as she held his hand and starting running to one of the many exits of the underground world.
The moment they came out of the room Tyndraid saw something that made his heart bleed.
At the main entrance of the cave, thousands, no, hundred thousand was rushing inside!
They made two huge lines, separating them was a woman, one single woman separating a horde of a million, even more.
He heard people calling his name pleading for help. People being bitten by monsters, cut by swords, and burned by fire.
Natalia was looking at the war in front of her in silence, to be more accurate, a one-sided massacre.
She was searching for something, obviously Tyndraid.
She ordered that if anyone saw him, prison him or cripple his movement, but never kill him. He must be tutored to death.
Suddenly, the desperation in his heart disappeared and was replaced by rage and hate!
"Natalia... this is our blood vengeance. One of us must die. Just wait for the day when I hold strength when You are the one running While I am the hunter. THIS IS MY PROMISE TO YOU!" Tyndraid promised in his heart.
"Tyndraid I know what you are feeling, but we can't delay anymore. Them dying can't be stopped. I can't match her, not even my Phoenix... Even if all of the ones with Inheritance title joined we can't kill her, she has people like that too. Only you can develop and take her head on."
"I know... let's go, we are heading north."
They quickly ran away between the ones who's fighting, even if Natalia had the best vision, she wouldn't be able to see them.
When they got out, Tyndraid stood in a daze, staring the exit, No knew what he was thinking about, but in his eyes, hate can be seen.

Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
