Prologue
"This catastrophe can't be prevented" The old man looked wearily at the last few members of humanity.
The Council had done everything they could to preserve their way of life, now the human race was almost extinct. The last hundred survivors were standing in this very room.
The Elves and Dwarves had been eliminated. The Dragons were losing the war against the Demons. The Demons themselves were currently knocking on the doorstep of humanity's last stronghold!
The old bearded man looked down at the intricately carved Formation on the floor. Many complicated Runes lined the walls.
He turned his gaze towards the other surviving humans. Collectively, they raised three fingers to their left shoulders in a small salute.
A loud explosion shook the entire underground cavern. The old man looked at each member of the Council.
"It's time."
They all nodded, everyone present moved to one of one hundred and one small formations. The circles they stood in were all woven together.New n0vel chapters are published on
As one, the group began to chant. The massive Formation began to light up.
Bright Runes shined from the walls and cast themselves down to individual mages. The pain was intense, but they didn't dare to stop chanting.
Inside of their minds, a strange occurrence was taking place. The vast ocean of Mana that made up their consciousness was being shredded to pieces.
One by one, the last members of the human race began to drop to the ground, blood bursting from every orifice. Soon, only the Council was left chanting. Their immense Mana pools took much longer to split.
More of the Council began to fall. Their bodies almost burst to shreds as their Mana absorbed into the Formation.
The last standing were the old bearded man and three beautiful elderly women. He smiled at each of them gently while carving intricate Runes into the air with his fingers.
Two of the three women soon fell to the ground, smiles of comfort resting on their bloody faces. The last of the women was barely holding on.
"I love you," She whispered gently before falling to her knees.
He smiled lovingly down at her, "Let's live our next life in happiness."
The old man began to shed tears as the Runes began to form ever more furiously from his fingertips. The lights in the room became blinding as the old man disintegrated.
An extravagant amount of Mana flooded the room. The Formation and Runes greedily consumed it all before gradually fading into nothingness.

Hours later, a strange creature forced its way into the underground room. Its body was built from tentacles and eyes. A slick substance was constantly secreted as it moved.
Inside the room, it found the bodies of almost one hundred humans broken and bleeding on the floor. The creature began shaking as the tentacle splattered more of the liquid.
"Ha! Hahaha!" Odd laughter emitted outward from the creature. It looked around the room. It was empty apart from the bodies and blood that splattered across the floor.
It made its way back to the surface. "Lord, the humans are finished. It seemed they preferred to die rather than let us assimilate their power."
"Very good. Then we will shift our focus to the Dragons." A hulking figure looked at the creatures around it. "Move out.
