Bab 3: One Of The Big Three
When called, Alec walked up to the platform where the Orb of Awakening was placed and looked straight at the orb.
But the more he looked, the more he felt lost as he was mesmerized by the dazzling sight of the orb.
"Place your hand on the orb and concentrate on it; the orb will do the rest," the instructor standing there said.
Alec followed the instructor's instructions and touched the Orb of Awakening. Before he knew it, he felt an excellent flow of energy entering his body through his palm. It was at that moment that he knew the awakening had begun.
The energy spread to every spot, joint, and place in his body, cleansing him; he even felt a great desire to moan in satisfaction but managed to mumble out a groan instead.
The effect of the energy made him feel as if he had used an elixir to cleanse all the impurities his body had accumulated over the years; the energy then traveled back to his palm and passed back into the Orb of Awakening.
Immediately, the energy flow passed through his arms and returned to the Orb, which shone brightly with two different elemental attributes: a bright yellow color and a bright red color, showing a high element affinity.
Another commotion broke out again, but this time, it seemed that the fact that Alec awakened two elemental attributes of high affinity caused an even bigger surprise.
Screams and gasps of astonishment could be heard all around; Everyone was shocked and flabbergasted.
After all, they never thought much of the young master of the Gordon family, who was rumored to be a bastard, But now, Alec had just silenced all his haters with this display.
Just like other times when the Grand Elder and the Patriarch came over to restore order whenever a commotion happened, they moved to calm the crowd again.
This time, even the parents of the younger ones waiting in line and other family members who were watching joined in the chatter because of the massive shock.
"The family is on the rise" was the topic of conversation as they all talked about the abundance of talent they had this year and the fact that someone they had low expectations for, like Alec, could be counted to become a Dual affinity Mage with both of them being high affinity. In contrast, most of the mages in the clan were mid-level Earth affinity.
This time, the Patriarch reached Alec first and opened his mouth wide with a smile, clearly proud of Alec's achievement.
"You did well, little boy," said the Grandelder, joining in the praise. "Your potential is truly remarkable."
Alec couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude and relief wash over him; the support and encouragement from his family meant the world to him, especially from his grandfather.
Their belief in him bolstered his confidence and determination to become a powerful mage.
As the commotion continued to settle, the Patriarch, still beaming with pride, turned to his brother, the Grand Elder. "Help me out of this one, brother. I have to go," he said, urgency evident.
The Grand Elder nodded understanding. He knew his brother was eager to pass on his knowledge and guidance to Alec now that he had awakened his mana joint; before parting ways, the Patriarch affectionately patted Alec's back.
The Patriarch summoned one of his special golems, a sight Alec had seen many times before. The Patriarch had three special golems and had just summoned one of his three prized golems.
The Golem stood at an imposing 6 feet tall, emanating a powerful aura. Its eyes glowed bright red light, and its body was crafted from reinforced clay infused with mana and exuded strength.
Gasps could be heard from the crowd as they set their sights on the golem; reverence filled their eyes as many witnessed one of the special golems that protected the Gordon family. The Patriarch's "Big Three" golems were renowned and revered.
The Golem extended its long arms and gently embraced Alec and the Patriarch; it bent slightly, assuming a posture resembling a 90-degree angle, before launching itself into the air with remarkable force.
Alec was taken aback as he realized they were heading toward his grandfather's backyard; the special golem had picked up a limited sense of intelligence or was following the old man's commands without question.
Expecting a rough landing due to the golem's speed and power, Alec chuckled, relishing the thought of a playful retribution against his grandfather's showmanship.
However, to his surprise, a spiral force of energy was released from the golem's feet as it descended, gradually slowing down its momentum.
It glided gracefully to the ground, it's landing soft and controlled; it seemed like some shock absorber was Installed under its feet.

- Author's Note -
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, whenever you receive this message. I wanted to address a common concern that has been following my book, Golem Mage, ever since it was contracted with webnovel.
When I started writing Golem Mage, it was purely for fun. I'm not sure if any of the old readers from the previous platform followed me here, but grammar has never been my strong point. I made a lot of mistakes, and people read without complaining because it was free. I'm sure they read over the first hundred chapters for free back then.
Suddenly, I received a contract through an agency linked with webnovel, and my book was established on their platform. Now, I have to release chapters every day while also going back and correcting my past mistakes.
Editing is not easy, and the fact that I am not contracted directly with webnovel means I can't simply edit my errors and expect them to show instantly. The revisions have to go through the agency I am contracted with. Please bear with me as I work on editing each chapter, no matter how stressful it may be.
I am not the same author I was when I started. I have developed and evolved. My writing style has changed, and my errors have reduced. I promise to give the book the quality it deserves.
This message is only directed to the true fans of my books, not those who criticized it while also secretly reading the same book they claim they can't read. Thank you for your understanding and continuous support.
