A new day began as the sun's rays shone on Jack's house, accompanied by a fresh breeze filled with pure mana.
While the high-ranking officials of the Otherworlders' continent and the higher-ranking Angels discussed the future development of the continent, Jack's family practiced spells and skills under Ava's guidance.
After their training session, they all gathered around Ava for the next set of instructions on the path of Ascendants.
"Now that you have practiced basic magic spells and combat skills, I will explain something important how Ascendants can break through from a 1st Magic Circle Mage to a 2nd Magic Circle Mage, or from a 1st Aura Force Ring Master to a 2nd Aura Force Ring Master," Ava said, her voice firm and authoritative.
--------
Breakthrough Process: Advancing from 1-Star to 2-Star;
Overview: Every Ascendant must overcome bottlenecks to grow stronger. A Magic Circle Mage expands their Magic Circle, while an Aura Force Ring Master strengthens their Aura Force Ring.
Breaking through isn't just a matter of time, it requires effort, resources, and overcoming personal challenges.
Think of it like upgrading from a small cup to a bigger cup you need to increase your capacity for magic or aura energy while ensuring it remains stable and doesn't shatter!

1) Magic Circle Mage: The Path of Arcane Mastery
Step-by-Step Process:
Step 1: Gathering Magic Energy (Mana Expansion Ritual)
To expand their Magic Circle, a Mage must absorb a vast amount of mana.
Mana is drawn into the heart, which serves as the core where all mana is stored and circulated.
This can be done by:
-Meditating in mana-rich environments
-Absorbing mana crystals
-Consuming elixirs that enhance mana flow
Some locations greatly amplify mana absorption, such as:
–Ancient Ruins
–Elemental Pools
–Magical Towers
---
Step 2: Condensing Arcane Embers
A Mage's Magic Circle isn't just a floating ring inside the soul it forms around the heart, where mana is concentrated.
-To strengthen the Magic Circle, the Mage must compress raw mana into tiny crystallized sparks of energy known as Arcane Embers.
-These Arcane Embers stabilize the Magic Circle, preventing it from collapsing during spellcasting.
Danger: If this step is done incorrectly, mana can explode inside the body, causing Mana Deviation, which may result in severe injuries or even loss of magical abilities!
---
Step 3: The Elemental Baptism (Optional but Powerful!)
To further enhance their elemental affinity, some Mages undergo an Elemental Baptism by exposing themselves to pure elemental forces.
-Fire Mages may meditate inside a Volcanic Chamber.
-Water Mages might submerge themselves in a Sacred Waterfall infused with mana.
-Lightning Mages may stand under a thunderstorm, absorbing natural lightning.
This process is dangerous but highly rewarding, as it permanently enhances elemental spells!
---
Step 4: Stabilizing the Magic Circle & Forming a New One
Once the Magic Circle is filled with Arcane Embers, it becomes unstable.
-The Mage must calm their mind and circulate mana gradually to stabilize it.
-If successful, the Magic Circle will glow brightly, signaling a successful advancement to 2-Star Mage!
-A new Magic Circle forms around the heart, stacking onto the first one.
•A 1-Star Mage has one Magic Circle around their heart.
•A 2-Star Mage now has two Magic Circles, increasing their mana capacity and spellcasting power!
---
Signs of a Successful Breakthrough (2-Star Magic Circle Mage):
•Larger Magic Circles (Two circles around the heart!)
•Stronger Spells (More powerful and efficient!)
•Faster Mana Recovery
•Minor Elemental Fusion (Example: Fireball → Explosive Fireball!)
--------
2) Aura Force Ring Master: The Path of Combat Strength
Step-by-Step Process:
Step 1: Purifying the Aura Force Ring
An Aura Force Ring Master must gather and refine aura energy within their body.
-Aura is absorbed into the heart, where it is stored and circulated throughout the body.
This can be done by:
-Training in battle to sharpen combat instincts
-Absorbing beast cores filled with aura energy
-Using special aura techniques to refine and control energy
Certain locations enhance the breakthrough process, such as:
•Aura Springs (Rich in natural aura energy)
•Ancient Battlegrounds (Echoes of past warriors strengthen aura)
•Mountain Peaks (High-altitude training improves endurance and aura flow)
---
Step 2: Engraving Aura Runes
An Aura Force Ring is a glowing circular ring of pure aura energy that floats within the soul.
-To reinforce its power, the warrior must engrave Aura Runes onto the ring.
-Each rune enhances aura flow, physical strength, speed, and attack power.
Danger: If engraved incorrectly, the Aura Force Ring can shatter, causing an "Aura Implosion." This may result in weakened aura abilities or even permanent damage!
---
Step 3: The Trial of Battle (Optional but Powerful!)
Some warriors undergo extreme trials to push their aura to its limits.
-Knights may spar against stronger opponents in intense battles.
-Assassins may train in dark caves, hunting wild beasts in low-visibility conditions.
-Warrior may meditate under a crashing waterfall, enduring the force to strengthen their body and aura endurance.
This high-risk, high-reward method greatly enhances aura control and combat mastery!
---
Step 4: Stabilizing the Aura Force Ring & Forming a New One
Once Aura Runes are engraved, the Aura Force Ring becomes unstable.
-The warrior must control their breathing, circulate aura smoothly, and stabilize the ring.
-If successful, the ring will glow with renewed strength, signaling a breakthrough to 2-Star Aura Force Ring Master!
-A new Aura Force Ring appears, increasing combat power and aura reserves.
•A 1-Star Aura Master has one Aura Force Ring around their dominant hand.
•A 2-Star Aura Master now has an additional Aura Force Ring around their other hand, doubling aura capacity and combat strength!
---
Signs of a Successful Breakthrough (2-Star Aura Force Ring Master):
•Stronger Aura Force Rings (Two rings—one on each hand!)
•Increased Physical Strength (Stronger punches, faster movement!)
•Aura Weapon Enhancement (Weapons glow with aura, increasing cutting power!)
•Enhanced Stamina and Endurance (Fights longer without exhaustion!)
