Fwish!
Alex landed softly on the grass-covered stone ground of [Grand Mage Island], a floating domain suspended high above the clouds.
It was the same island where, not too long ago, he had attempted to attend a meeting of the [Grand Mage Order], a council of powerful mages who governed and regulated magical affairs across the world.
However, that meeting hadn't gone as planned.
The Grand Mages had tried to eliminate him, believing him too dangerous or unpredictable, and in return, he had wiped them out one by one without hesitation.
Now, none of those Grand Mages remained.
None except one. Arceus.
Arceus had been the only one not foolish enough to raise his hand against Alex back then, and as a result, not only did he survive, but he inherited the title of [Grand Mage Master] in the aftermath.
Whether by choice or necessity, he had taken up the mantle, and Alex was here now to check on him.
