Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: Aether



Karyk continued reading the diary, growing more interested in the so-called specimen that the person was so obsessed with.

The man was stubborn, only having one goal in his life. Just to follow that goal, he had even surpassed the natural limitations of humanity. It painted a picture of a man who had been cast out by society. Despite that, he never lost hope.

"Day 2460: I have decided to name the specimen 'Aether'. It seems fitting, as it has become a source of my life. Aether and I are one now. I no longer feel like the man I once was. My past self feels like a distant memory that grows faint with each passing second

"Day 2909: The clans have sent emissaries to search for me so they could negotiate. They are unaware of my exact location but it won't take long before they find me."

"If I negotiate with them and show them the progress, maybe they will support me? With their support, I can gain even more power to perform experiments without a single care in the world. However, power is no longer something I want."

"I will have to keep hiding and focus on Aether only."

"Day 5481: The world continues to evolve due to Aether's influence. Many new species appeared in this world while the previous species have evolved to grow even more intelligent. They can even talk to me now."

"I have been sending them out to gather more material. With their help, I can focus solely on Aether. They can bring materials as well as information."

"Day 9980: They have brought back some information. It looks like the outside world has changed a lot as well. Some new clans have risen to power, reaching the threshold to me called major clans."

"It seems to be some clan called Drike. How interesting. The balance of power among the clans is shifting. I can only watch with detached interest and focus on Aether."

Hearing the mention of the Drike Clan, Karyk's expressions fluctuated a little. This person even mentioned the formation of the Drike Clan?

From what he knew, the Drike Clan was established a long time ago as a major clan. The person in front of him had lived for such a long time?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It was as if he was looking at the world through the eyes of a person that had seen everything evolve while closing himself in this world.

He had thought that the diary wouldn't have so many pages as it looked much smaller. However, as he kept reading, he realized that the diary was an artifact as well.

As he kept turning the page, the previous pages disappeared. No matter how many pages he turned, he was always on the second page in the diary with only the day changed.

Karyk had many questions in his mind. He could only hope to gain the answers through this diary. He turned the page and returned to reading.

"Day 12500: I've begun to experiment with merging Aether's essence with other life forms. Maybe I can evolve a creature of this world just like I had evolved? It is worth testing."

"Day 12907: The results are disappointing.All those creatures that I tested, had died as soon as I injected them with Aether's essence. Aether isn't accepting them. My understanding of the aether is still incomplete it seems."

"Day 19760: I have achieved something remarkable. Aether has begun to communicate with me, not in words, but in feelings. I can feel it. It's not a living being yet, but it is something even more incredible!"

"I can see glimpses of something far greater than I imagined. I have glimpsed the threads of fate."

"Day 21765: I am no longer alone. I have created beings from the essence of Aether. I have succeeded in evolving creatures of this world with the help of Aether! This is incredible! I feel like I am getting closer to the end goal."

"At this rate, I might be able to complete Aether soon!"

"The evolved creatures are loyal to me and hold a fragment of Aether within them. I can't keep calling them beasts. They are a Higher Species now! They are part of something new! I will need to think of a name for them.

"Day 21770: After thinking for a few days, I have come up with a name. I have decided to call them Aetherians. Although they don't seem to like the name, I don't have any more time to waste thinking about it."

"Day 28898: The world outside is caught in the flames of war. These fools will never learn. They will keep killing each other. It's a good thing I am not part of that world order anymore. Instead, I am part of something bigger. I can start a new world order myself!"

"Day 87644: The war in the outside world seems to be over. It lasted longer than I expected. The winner of the war is a person who has declared himself as the Celestial King. How foolish. There will only be one king in the world, who is Aether. Until then, enjoy the false throne!" "Day 98660: They have found me! Why did it have to be now? I was so close to completing Aether! I have to stop them. I have to stop them at any cost!"

"Day 12550: Is it all over? Almost all Aetherians have been killed. This beautiful world has been painted red by evil! I managed to stop them from taking Aether, but at what cost?"

"The Aetherians are dead and my life source is injured. I don't think I can live longer. It is funny. When I thought I was going to die, aether protected me. And now, I am dying to protect the aether. But I don't regret it even a little."

"Aether has grown self-sufficient. It will be completed on its own, even if I am not here. Maybe even the bloodshed in this world will help Aether. The only thing I regret is that I won't be alive to see it."

"I won't be here to see my child enter this world. Fate has been so cruel..."

The diary ended abruptly. There were no further entries after that. It was as if the man had died after the entry.
