Atticus’s Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground

Atticus and Ozeroth bantered into the night, and before they knew it, midnight had long passed.

Eventually, they had to set their banter aside and face their current plight. The alliance was crumbling, and the Zorvans were on the offensive.

It wouldn’t be long before they cut through the frontline and began their carnage across the different races.

‘Whisker also mentioned that some of the race leaders were still alive, but the surprise attack had completely destabilized them.’

The first thing he had asked Whisker after hearing about his brother’s move was if the race leaders had been killed.

Unfortunately, Oren, the Regenerari race leader, had been killed. But not the Evolari.

Whisker’s brother had attacked their capital directly. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, Jenera hadn’t been present at the time.

She had only returned after the Evolari capital had been plunged into chaos, many of her leaders dead and her granddaughter nowhere to be found.

She erupted, as expected, but there was no culprit to direct her rage toward.

“I have the Human, Nullite, Dragon, Dimensari, and Auralithian cores… Five cores. Whisker is with the Obliteri, Vampyros, Angel, and Aeonian cores. Four cores.”

Atticus’s thoughts churned.

“I noted six more cores on Eletantron and Jezenet… Which means I can assume the man has the rest, four cores. Two can be identified: the Regenerari and Evolari cores. The other two…”

After gaining the Auralithian core, Atticus had long since spoken to Magnus to inquire about the remaining races of Eldoralth.

The Bone race had always been on his list ever since he discovered the cores, and Magnus had confirmed their existence. But a visit to the academy revealed that their core was nowhere to be found.

Atticus had seen the leader of the Bone race and his queen. He had also seen the child, the one who had threatened him back then. He had never forgotten his promise to them. But he hadn’t acted because Ozeroth had stopped him.

The spirit had instantly fallen in love with their warrior-centered society and had somehow convinced Atticus, of all people, to let go of his grudge.

Especially considering that humanity had enslaved their entire race… and the one he had a grudge with was only a child.

Besides, their leader had treated him well, even showing him his domain back then.

In the end, Atticus decided to let it go, for Ozeroth’s sake. Still, he had been disappointed that the Bone core remained nowhere to be found.

Aside from the Bone race, Atticus also had a bone to pick with the Enigmalnk scientist at the academy. But he hadn’t acted on that either, mainly because the man had only been following orders, orders given by his grandfather, Magnus.

Even so, he still held a grudge, though not one as intense as killing or beating the man.

Atticus had simply sent word to Oberon, and the man had been fired and removed from the academy immediately.

Aside from the Bone race, there was one other race remaining. But with this one, Atticus didn’t even know where to start.

Their race had been extinct ever since the Zorvans launched their first attack on Eldoralth.

Atticus was at a crossroads. If he counted the number of cores with Whisker, it totaled nine. Which meant the opposition held ten.

‘I should stop making it complicated. There’s no time.’

He decided to uncomplicate the matter and instead break it into segments.

‘One month until the shield collapses. The Zorvans will either break through our line before then or not. Either way, I have to deal with these two.’

Eletantron and Jezenet were still up above the Aegis Shield, waiting for its collapse. Atticus didn’t even count the dragon elders as real threats, they would be blown apart by the shockwave of that battle anyway.

The only reason he even considered Eletantron and Jezenet as opponents was because of the cores they had absorbed. Their powers had no doubt intensified. So he felt caution was necessary.

And then, there was the last of his direct problems, Whisker’s brother.

‘The Gardener.’

Whisker called him that because his powers were based on gardening, though not in any innocent way.

Atticus’s mind had once again been blown when he learned that spiritual energy wasn’t actually the main energy source of the middle planes.

Instead, it was only a derivative of something deeper.

Will.

It was… odd. Atticus had never considered Will to be an actual energy source. But after hearing Whisker’s explanation of how spiritual energy had formed from Will, it made perfect sense.

Still… The Gardener. Especially his power.

It was dangerous.

Very.

Atticus’s thoughts shifted.

‘It’s still very uncertain.’

If not for Whisker, Atticus wouldn’t have even known someone like The Gardener existed. He had no idea where to find him, and more importantly, no idea if the man would show up right in the middle of his battle with Eletantron and Jezenet.

‘I have to account for this,’ he thought to himself.

After thinking through all the possible scenarios, Atticus reached the same conclusion he had been arriving at from the very beginning.

He needed power.

‘My elements are still a big problem.’

At the military camp, Atticus had been able to fuse four of his elements. One of the main reasons it had worked was because combining the four basic elements was almost a no-brainer.

But now… he wasn’t sure which combination to try next.

Over the past few weeks, he’d been filtering through different combinations, but none had felt right.

Either something was missing… or something that wasn’t supposed to be there was.

This had stalled his advancement to the fifth rank. Completely.

Atticus hated it. The feeling of being stuck.

He had the potential, but he just didn’t know how to advance.

It was infuriating.

Regardless, Atticus kept trying his best to make it work.

Aside from the pieces of the world’s core and his katana, this would be his next best source of strength.

He needed everything he could muster for the coming battle. Especially with someone from a higher plane.

With that thought, Atticus trained into the night, until daylight. Still, he didn’t show any signs of leaving the training room.

However, soon enough, the sound of construction reached his ears, and he stood up and went outside to see what was happening.
