3 One Rod To Rule Them All

Turns out that it did have books on anything and everything magic. However, I can only access things within my scale of power. I can currently access books with the barebone basics from all pantheons/factions. I sold some iron that my rabbits gathered to get three books. The Barebone Basics Of Human Magic, Norse Magic, and the magic of the Fallen. Which is different from Angelic Magic, and not worth the price until I can create golems of them. Since they utilize Holy Magic, while the Fallen use Light magic. 

Holy magic is a higher tier of Light magic that the Fallen lost access to when they fell. Talk about being vindictive. Some of the Fallen fell for good reason, but still lost their 'Light'. For example, from the documents I have been looking through, Kokabiel, one of the main antagonists from the original series, fell because he saw humans being massacred by devils and vampires. Due to the wrath he felt and the ensuing decimation of all the ones that caused it, he fell. Makes me kinda feel bad for the guy, he loves humanity and fallen so much, but that love got warped a bit. 

I might have to do something to rectify that, and play a long haul plan on Azazel to curb his playboy tendencies and get the Fallen in my clutches. I also bought AR glasses so I could see and hear what my rabbits do on the go. They came in the form of sunglasses and were very cheap since the current tech I had access to wasn't far off from it. I figured that I might as well get a workout in, so I headed to the gym and noticed the two sisters lifting weights. 

More specifically, Jess was spotting Jane as she started to lift 100 pounds with ease. They were probably testing what their limits were and would move on from there. Another great thing about my golems is, they could grow in strength in any way any other being could in this world, but with unlimited physical stamina. They weren't bound by their role or conventional rules, as I have discovered. Therefore, once I had access to gravity magic, I was gonna pull a dragon ball, and put all of my golems through increased gravity. There was even a magically reinforced part of the gym that was similar to a small arena. 

I got on a treadmill and ran for a few miles to get the blood flowing, before I stretched out my body. The two sisters mimicked me as I stretched, not that I minded. 

"Father, could you guide us on exercising? We were given some knowledge, but neither of us can think of a proper regime to follow." After Jane asked that, I decided that it would be good to start my gravity plan as early as possible. The book on human magic had a section specifically for the basics of gravity magic, but it should be enough. For now though, I gave them a workout plan straight from one of my favorite comedy animes. 

"100 pushups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and a 10KM run. Do it every single day. Also, every week, double it." The two of them looked at me with what I could only describe as a mix of excitement and fear, since I must be smiling like a feral animal. I left them to it. Just because they had infinite stamina, didn't mean they couldn't feel fatigue mentally, but I was going to put all of my golems through the ringer since this verse held no punches. At least there is no ExE, those machine gods were bs. 

I returned to the forge as I continued to observe the Fallen angel and human magician and took a seat on a bench. I found the mix of heat and cold that I felt on the bench from the flames of the forge, and the breeze of the magic sigils on the walls to be comforting. In a few more hours I will have access to creating golems with the capability of the human magic system. The one restriction I did see, were the magic systems, specifically of the different races like angels, devils, fallen, yokai, and the like. The more I have access to, the more I can put into one golem. However, I couldn't have them try to learn it if I didn't have access to that magic system. 

This means I wouldn't be able to utilize the Norse magic book I had until I saw its magic being used first. However, I did pool a large amount of resources to purchase a book on creating a programming language and something called 'Magical Mathematics'. Since the human magic system works similar to programming. This way, I could eventually create my own magic system. The wonderful thing, and probably the best benefit of being the Golem King, is I can copy a combined aspect of anything my golems can do, including things like their learning capacity. 

With that said, I got to reading the human magic system book while waiting for the timers to tick down. The Human Magic system was like learning Python and C++ at the same time. Even for the most basic spell like creating a small light, it required several lines that could only be minimized with a lot of practice. This system was based on the devil magic system, but the difference between them was the devil magic system was based on imagination, while the human one was based on language and intent. It was complicated and not at the same time. 

That said, I decided to just focus on creating a new programming language while gleaming some information from as many other systems as I could.. I digitized the information to my servers, and read off of them from my glasses. It would take a lot of work, but the two sisters' learning capacity is insane. It makes sense though since I created them with the capability to make any weapon or armor with time. Due to this, I could probably iron out the basics of my own magic system within a week. It would be faster once I can find a devil, and possibly a Yokai. Maybe a god or two would help as well, but that might be dangerous for now. 

Jane POV

The exercise that The Creator gave us was difficult. While we didn't have limits on our physical stamina, our bodies struggled under the physical strain we were putting them through. It took us a few hours in order to finish the exercise. After which, the both of us struggled to move, we weren't out of breath, but our bodies were screaming at us, while slowly recovering. If this is the basics of the trials they have given us, then I somewhat fear what is in store for our future. However, I know it is for our own good, since the world that we are a part of is dangerous. 

Once we somewhat recovered and drank large amounts of water from the water fountain in the gym, we headed down to where The Creator was. We skipped over the time to prepare and eat dinner, but it's better late than never, so we were planning to prepare some fried rice and shrimp. Once we stepped inside the Forge, we noticed that Father had several virtual screens in front of him. Most likely projected from his glasses. He wasn't motioning his hands, so he was probably controlling it with his mind.

"It's probably best not to disturb them while they work. Lets go and prepare dinner. Then we could probably watch some of that anime that The Creator mentioned. I believe he called it 'Kuroko no basket?'" Jess was right, we shouldn't bother him. As we started to head back up, I saw him get to work on more rabbits while he was working on what looked like another language perhaps. I couldn't tell, there were a lot of numbers and letters that I didn't recognize. It's probably best that I don't worry about that right now.

"After we finish dinner, it would most likely be in our best interest to start blacksmithing. We haven't done so yet, but I have a feeling that they will be creating more of our brethren soon." Jess looked towards me as I stated that and nodded her head.

Mark POV

The sisters came down to check on me, but didn't say anything, so I'm assuming it has to do with dinner. It can wait though since I finished up four more rabbits and sent them on their way. They had specific orders to find devils, yokai, angels, and any other magically inclined race. I saved the remainder of the wood, stone, iron, and scraps of steel I had left for other golems. Speaking of which, I should make more mundane golems, like miners, farmers, fisherman, seamstress and more. 

I did have my own dimension, it wouldn't hurt to make a mine or two here, and a farm. It would also help my food resources as they dwindled. So I had one two of my rabbits that have been gathering resources, go looking for farm animals, and farm products. Next, I focused half of my remaining resources on creating six golems for mining, three for farming, one seamstress and two for fishing. I called the two sisters down to have them create tools for them to utilize, and they brought down boxes of food for myself and them. 

The new golems were a mixed batch that looked male, female, or androgynous. I decided to mix it up. They all bowed to me and the sisters, then took a seat on a bench, or leaned against the wall near it. As I ate, the two sisters worked together to create tools for the new golems joining us. Their food sat next to me on my personal bench, while they worked. The two of them looked excited to finally be working in the smaller smithy. All of the tools were finished at a rapid pace, except for one, the last tool was one of the two fishing rods. 

By the time they finished, the fishing rod glowed in a purple light covering the entire basement, before fading back. "Father, a screen popped up when we created this fishing rod, I sent the data to the servers so you can take a look at it." 

I quickly pulled up a new folder that Jess created in the server named "Special Items" and located the data on the fishing rod. To say I was flabbergasted would be an understatement. 

The Golems Call

Rank: Legendary

Type: Fishing Rod

Durability: Infinite 

Ability: As long as it's wielded by a golem, no bait is necessary. 

If The Golem is aligned on the path of a fisherman, they will get stronger the more they fish, and the better fish they catch. 

Grants the ability to always find sea creatures

Grows With The User

How in the fresh hell did this happen to a fishing rod of all things? Am I gonna have a Legendary Fisherman/woman? Welp, guess I'm gonna have to name the golem that will wield this. The fishing rod itself flew towards the female fishing golem. I decided to name her Levi, short for Leviathan. Why? Because it would be funny to see her interact with Serafall in the future, or maybe even the original devil leviathan if they get strong enough soon enough. That probably won't happen though.
