When all the medinical power was absorbed, he jumped out the wooden container. Immediately, he start his training. Various postures his body was performing. Normally, a regular human would not be able to such things. Finally, he complete what he spend his whole life to pursue. "First layer done," he said smiling. On this day, he completely ended his retreat. His sister came trotting in. "Brother the city is built everybody want you to name it," she said. "That would be my honor," he said. All his family came to see him. They was at the city lord mansion. Performing a small ceremony, he name the city Twelve Beast City based on the zodiacs.

 On The Wanted List

    When the people he employed went back, Adam family members left them midway. They realize all of them was tricked. Having no choice, they had to report back. The various talents told them the truth. Immediately, they was put on the wanted list. A bounty was put on Adam and his family members. It was only the ones they knew of. Little did he know, Adam and his family was going to be difficult to catch than a whole army especially Adam himself. With the completion of the first layer of his technique, swords couldn''t penetrate his body. In this world, the empire has strict control over mana techniques and resources. Nobles only get the first three layers. The royal family has the rest. Peasants have none. If one had exceptional mana talent, they would be have to sign a soul contract. It was about absolute control. He only got the first layer because of completing missions for the nobles as a mercenary and assassin. Unfortunately when practicing, he knew he had poor mana talent. So, he thought of another way. As a soldier all they gave him was physical training skills. Medical baths was configured from low quality mana herbs. Nobles didn''t bother with them because their they valued magic talents more. Casting spells was more lethal to them. Also, more versatile. Soldier in their opinion was cannon fodder. A single fireball could annihilate them. Adam didn''t believe that. He continued to train his body together with other two professions.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

The notorious reputation they had actually helped them to recruit people. A blazing fire was lit in their chest. After a certain amount of people was recruited, they head back to the city. Adam received them with a smile. Once they got settled, he start to train them as soldiers. He knew the empire would soon be coming their way. They wouldn''t allow such a unstable factor to exist.

"Have faith in your brother they are not the only ones working hard," a man voice echoed. Surprised, she turn around. "Father," she said. "With the technique your brother passed down to them and us we should be able to survive this," the father said.

Adam got out of his sitting crosslegged position. He quickly made it to the recruits. His sister was there. "Brother some breakthrough and some died," Lily said informing him. "That''s normal even though this technique is suited for non mana talent people it still requires good talent," Adam said. Lily nod in understanding.

"You better not be lying to me," the prince said coldly. They felt a chill. "I wouldn''t dare to," the noble said. He could only hope the prince would listen. "Ok you can all rise," the prince said. "Thank you prince," one noble said. They get up. Silently, he thought about the reason for their deaths. "Even if they encountered some dangerous beast a few should make it back," he thought to himself. "This attack pattern," he said. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. "Could it be," he murmur.

 Both Begin Their Preparations

    "The only thing I could think of is that him and his band of rebels came across some treasure," the royal prince said. Various possibilities went through his head. The emperor couldn''t think of one. "Whatever it is I don''t believe he can stand up against our imperial forces," the emperor said. His son agree. "Go gather our mages it''s about time we get serious," the emperor said. His voice became cold. "I will go now," the royal prince said. "Bring your three brothers with you I want none of these rebels to escape," the emperor said. "Don''t worry father they won''t," the royal prince said. He leave the room. While The Nine Sun Empire was beginning to prepare, Adam was doing the same. His relatives was in the room.

 Harden Resolve

    "As you do that tell the soldiers to train hard that includes the incoming recruits," Adam said. "We will let them know," she said. His relatives nod. "To make sure we are ready I will go deeper into the forest to procure mana herbs we need," Adam said. When they heard this, their expressions change. "Brother," she said worriedly. The others show the same concern. It was for good reason. A long time ago, the empires band together to expand their territory. The result was none returned alive. Obviously, there was forces beyond their ability to match. "Don''t worry I''ll be alright I know my limit just keep the training on schedule," Adam said. Gritting her teeth, she nod. "Be safe brother," she said. "I will," Adam said. She leaves the room. Her relatives follow. Immediately, he start to get everything ready. Since he wasn''t a mage, he had to use something else. He had a blacksmith to craft a container for mana herbs. It kept them fresh. Grabbing it, he left the room. Adam leave Twelve Beast City. He look to the forest. "Time to see what this forest has to offer," he said. He walk into the forest.
