The Auguste (Indefinite Hiatus)

I didn't have a memory of who I am when I woke up. I don't know why, but I seem to have been able to think like an adult person the moment I was born. I'm smarter than everyone my age, but I think that will quickly change soon. A robotic voice, which is the tutorial bot, said that I was created for many purposes, but above those is the purpose of growing stronger until i am the strongest. I don't know who my creator was, since he's dead, but I will find out on my own. I am Auguste, a clown trying to find his own purpose, not the ones given to him, and this is my story of how I became the god above gods. _____________________ I am not that good of a writer, and quite self conscious also. If you can, please point out my mistakes so that I can fix it for later readers. Anyhow, enjoy the novel!

Chapter 26: Leaving Again

It was a fine day in the village of Sancara. The people are happy as they have just entered the April First Festival. It is celebrated in every populated village in the countryside as this festival symbolizes the birth of the first Emperor of the Albion Kingdom. It was said that heaven itself shone upon the first emperor as he was being born 600 years ago.

But inside a big three-story building were the couple, Amanda and Arnold.

A few months ago, they received news from the village where their firstborn son went, saying that it was destroyed by the empire. It was suspected that the target was the orphanage where they sent their child, and many saw its destruction along with the village's people.

Amanda did not take this news well.

They have just managed to build a building of their own, and save a lot of money for their future since the owner of the farmhouse where Arnold worked had tragically died from a sudden stroke. And since Arnold was the most loyal and competent worker that the owner had, he decided to give everything he owned to Arnold as he didn't have any family or friends in his life anymore.

Arnold had inherited 100 Platinum Notes from the owner, as he was incredibly rich, and decided to build a building with three floors and 10 rooms for their soon-to-be family.

But their hope went crashing down when they heard that news.

They were finally able to have enough, more than enough probably, to take care of their son but fate took him away from them.

Amanda broke down and has been depressed ever since. Arnold, though, decided to fight on and spent most of his time working on his farm so that he could forget all about the trouble in his life.

And 3 months after that, Amanda was pregnant again with their second child!

They were overjoyed and promised themselves that they would take care of this one properly and do what they never did for Auguste as his parents.

(Scene Change)

August 10, Year 1335.

4 months have passed since then, and it is now time for us to go to the Sect. Alexander had deemed us ready for the Coexistence Sect since almost all of my brothers and sisters had already reached Mana Gathering, Level 9. Except for Vane and Flare. Flare had reached Foundation Establishment, and Vane, well, had reached Soul Detachment, level 6…

How overpowered is this dude? I have all of this stuff, and yet he is completely destroying me in terms of strength!

And the progress of my clones hadn't even increased by at least one bit! They still receive 16,000 [Physical] and 360 [Mana] every single day, and that's just insufficient! But at least I managed to read 300 books or so over the past 4 months, and received 3000 percent of [Mana].

I currently have a power level of 32,000,000, mostly because of my mana.

I know I shouldn't be complaining about Vane's talents when considering the fact that he just has his talent, while I currently have cheat codes that can boost my strength so much. It's just that… he has me beat in physical strength!

We tried arm-wrestling once, and he completely destroyed me! I lost around 10 times, and I haven't given up since!

But anyway, I'm stronger than Alexander in his base form since I have all this mana and I can control it better than most. I have learned various manual techniques in the [Shop]. I have learned around 10 Manuals, counting the five elemental magic I learned. Oh, and it turns out that mastering a single basic manual is harder than I thought. I have 10 of them, and that's terrifying. But the good thing is that these "Basic Manuals" are better than the manuals in the sect, as I have received a manual from Alexander.

I also learned a fighting style called [Playful Monkey] that I bought from the [Shop]. Tutorial bot said that this is a very good style since the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, used this as his early fighting style. It revolves around dirty tricks, which I liked, and using poles and spears.

[Playful Monkey] is a fighting style where the user strikes the most vulnerable part of the body, and with males, the user usually hits their balls which adds a more sinister feel to it. Anybody who had encountered a user of this style has been crippled by the style, and the most famous user was Sun Wukong, who later developed his own fighting style based on [Playful Monkey].

This is a great technique as I've used this whenever I spar with Alexander but I'll probably change it in the future because I need a more destructive fighting style.

Anyway, we are currently packing up our stuff so that we could leave for the sect.

Most of my stuff was packed into my storage ring and all my siblings did, too. Alexander gave us all the storage rings which all have the size of a house inside. We can basically store anything not too big but anything alive besides insects cannot be stored inside.

Soon, we were ready to leave the safe house.

When we reached the ground floor, I saw Harry kissing the refrigerator goodbye.

"Goodbye, my love, for our destiny has been shattered once more." He said to the fridge so lovingly that I thought he was talking to his first love.

I ignored that fat guy, and just looked away as to not embarrass myself by being somehow related to him. Who the f*ck talks to a fridge like that!? I have not met a single person except this guy who kisses a goddamn fridge goodbye!

I stood with my siblings, though I was smaller than all of them, and we listened attentively to what Alexander's saying.

He held a talisman in his hand, and said, "This talisman will take us all to the sect with space magic. Now, the reason I'm telling you this is because all of you should not move while we are being teleported. There's a chance that the space between reality might crack and send us to another place, which is not favorable for us at the moment, and it could kill us. Or, we could just go on foot and travel to the sect. It'll take us a month if we go by foot, so some of you might not like it."

Now, who in their right mind would tell children to choose between a death trap and a long journey? Of course, I'll choose the long journey! I'd rather not use a talisman that's a bit unstable and risk my life when I could easily just go to the sect by foot.

I immediately said, "I'll take the long journey to the sect, I'd rather not risk my life if I could help it."

I have learned a very valuable lesson when I fought the zombified-ogre; risking my life isn't worth it. I'll need to tread carefully from now on, random reckless actions could kill me.

Everybody agreed with me, and we all went to the surface for the first time as Terra made a staircase leading to the surface in less than 10 seconds.

Everybody was overjoyed that they could taste the fresh air once again, except for me since I always sneaked out to train my elemental magic and fighting style in the destroyed goblin village.

Oh, by the way, here is the list of the manuals I learned:

[Fire Spells – Basic] – Level 2 – [Fireball] [Flame Augmentation]

[Water Spells – Basic] – Level 2 – [Liquid Manipulation] [Water Gun]

[Earth Spells – Basic] – Level 3 – [Rock Spikes] [Earth Ravine]

[Wind Spells – Basic] – Level 2 – [Wind Blade] [Wind Augmentation]

[Lightning Spells – Basic] – Level 5 – [Lightning Augmentation] [Lightning Bullets] [Thunder Bolt]

[Ice Spells – Basic] – Level 1 – [Freeze]

[Poison Spells – Basic] – Level 2 – [Poison Swamp] [Poison Touch]

[Spell Combination – Basic] – Level 4 – [Firebolt] [Water Shock] [Hurricane] [Poison Spikes] [Invisibility]

[Magma Spells – Basic] – Level 1 – [Magma Rocks]

[Metal Spells – Basic] – Level 2 – [Metal Manipulation]

Hmm, most of them are great, especially the [Spell Combination] since it helps combine two elements at once.

Now, poison spells are necessary for playing dirty. It's a good thing to have when I'm fighting an opponent stronger than I am.

Anyway, we are now treading the woods and are going to the other side of the Empire, where the Sect is located.

Honestly, I don't know if what I'm doing is right. I feel like this novel I'm writing is proceeding too fast. Is it too fast though? Tell me in the comments below.

I have 5 chapters in my google docs and Word, all of them are still unedited though. Too lazy to do edit them all.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter, stay well, and as always, thank you for reading!

Drop some stones, it'll motivate me to write even more, and maybe update a little bit more.
