Idle Mage: Humanity's Strongest Backer



In the depths of the Mystic Guild's headquarters, Alice found herself standing in a room known as Little Paradise. It was a place of enchantment and beauty, accessible only to a select few who held the highest reverence within the Guild. As she entered the chamber, a sense of tranquility washed over her, and she knew that she stood in the presence of something extraordinary.

Little Paradise was a sanctuary of sublime elegance. The air was imbued with a delicate fragrance of exotic flowers, their petals in vibrant hues, as if nature itself had come alive within the room. Soft, ethereal light bathed the space, emanating from shimmering crystals embedded in the walls, casting prismatic reflections that danced upon the polished marble floor.

The chamber was adorned with tapestries depicting intricate scenes of mystic lore and mythical beings. Each thread is woven with meticulous care, telling stories of ancient battles, profound wisdom, and the triumph of magic over adversity. The walls themselves seemed to whisper with the echoes of ages past as if the very fabric of the room held the memories of countless mystics who had walked this sacred ground.

At the heart of Little Paradise, amidst a glimmering grove of mystical plants, stood a resplendent tree known as the El-Tree. Its branches reached towards the heavens, bearing delicate leaves that shimmered with a faint luminescence. The tree was a gateway between realms, a conduit of magical energy that connected the mortal world with the ethereal realm of the Fairies.

Seated beneath the majestic branches of the El-Tree was the Fairy Queen herself, an ethereal being of radiant beauty. Her eyes held a depth of wisdom and her delicate wings shimmered with iridescent hues, casting a soft glow upon her surroundings. She emanated an aura of serenity and power, her presence captivating and awe-inspiring.

Alice approached the Fairy Queen with reverence and humility, her heart filled with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. She had sought an audience with the Fairy Queen to seek guidance and protection for the impending war. The Fairy Queen was known to possess ancient knowledge and mystical powers that could aid humanity in its struggle against the forces that threatened to consume its world.

As Alice stood before the Fairy Queen, a sense of calm washed over her. She could feel the presence of the fairy realm, a realm intertwined with nature and magic, embracing her being. The gentle rustling of leaves, the distant melody of unseen creatures, and the ethereal glow of the El-Tree filled her senses, heightening her awareness of the mystical forces at play

Alice stood before the Fairy Queen, her eyes filled with determination and respect. She took a deep breath and began, "Your Highness, I have come seeking your wisdom and assistance in a matter of utmost importance."

The Fairy Queen regarded Alice with a serene smile, her voice carrying the weight of ancient knowledge. "Speak, Alice, and I shall lend you my ear. What brings you to Little Paradise today?"

Alice bowed her head respectfully before continuing, "Your Highness, we have made a decision. Humanity plans to initiate the war, not only to gain an advantage but also to protect our world from the encroaching forces of the Celestial and Hypogean Races."

The Fairy Queen's eyes shimmered with curiosity as she leaned forward, her voice carrying a gentle melody. "And what role do you play in this war, dear Alice?"

Alice's gaze met the Fairy Queen's, filled with determination. "I am the Sword Empress, the one who shall lead our forces in battle. It is my duty to defend our people and ensure the survival of our world."

The Fairy Queen's expression remained serene as she inquired, "And where is Ashton in all of this? His decision bears as much weight as mine does, after all, it was he who made it possible for the El-Tree to mature to this state."

A flicker of sadness crossed Alice's face as she replied, "Ashton... he is sleeping. He has trapped himself and the Celestial God in a dream, a dreamscape where they are unable to exert influence over this war. He believes in us, Your Highness. He trusts that we can face this challenge without their interference."

The Fairy Queen nodded in understanding, her voice filled with a hint of admiration. "Ashton's faith in you speaks volumes, Alice. His sacrifice for the sake of humanity is not to be taken lightly."

Alice took a deep breath, gathering her resolve. "Your Highness, I beseech you for your assistance. We need the authority you hold over the El-Tree and its wondrous ability: the World Link. With its power, we can connect the Blue Marble Planet to both Paradiso and Inferno, signifying the start of the war of races. This connection will serve as a beacon, drawing the attention and forces of the Celestial and Hypogean Races."

The Fairy Queen regarded Alice for a moment, her gaze filled with wisdom. She spoke softly, her words carrying the weight of her decision. "Alice, the World Link is a potent ability, one that bridges worlds and sets destinies in motion. I will grant you access to its power, but remember, with such influence comes great responsibility. Use it wisely, for its effects will be far-reaching. And once the link was established, there was no going back. Are you sure that this is what you want?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. This has been approved by Ashton as well." She replied.

"Very well." The Fairy Queen acquiesced.

Alice bowed deeply, gratitude evident in her voice. "Thank you, Your Highness. We shall wield this power with utmost care and honor. Our goal is not only victory but the preservation of our world and the hope for a better future."

The Fairy Queen's ethereal voice resonated through the chamber as she bestowed her blessing. "May the power of the El-Tree and the unity of your cause guide you, Alice. May the destinies of mortals and fairies intertwine in harmony, and may your courage and strength be unwavering in the face of adversity."

As Alice stood before the majestic El-Tree, a hush fell over Little Paradise. The air shimmered with anticipation, and a profound sense of reverence filled the chamber. The ancient tree seemed to pulse with energy, its branches reaching toward the heavens, ready to unleash its extraordinary power.

Suddenly, the El-Tree began to transform. Its branches extended, stretching far beyond the boundaries of the room, intertwining and entwining until they formed an intricate network that seemed to transcend space and time. The very fabric of reality quivered, and a faint hum filled the air as the World Link was awakened.

In a mesmerizing display of mystical energy, a portal materialized just outside the Blue Marble Planet. The portal glowed with a myriad of colors, swirling and shifting like a celestial tapestry. It was a passage, a bridge that connected the realms of Paradiso, Inferno, and the mortal world.

Alice could feel the immense power emanating from the El-Tree, its energy resonating deep within her being. She could sense the potential that lay within this ethereal portal, the gateway to their strategic ambush.

Through the shimmering gateway, glimpses of distant worlds and cosmic vistas could be seen, as if peering through a window into other realms. The swirling energy beckoned, inviting humanity to step through and embark on their destined path, a path that would shape the outcome of the war.

The El-Tree's branches continued to sway and dance as if responding to the call of the universe itself. Its leaves shimmered with a soft glow as if whispering ancient secrets. The World Link had been forged, connecting the Blue Marble Planet to the realms beyond, signaling the beginning of a momentous battle.

In that sacred moment, as the portal stood open, the celestial energies converged, aligning the fates of different worlds. It was a convergence of hopes and dreams, of unity and determination. Humanity stood on the precipice of a new chapter, ready to embrace their destiny and fight for the survival of their world.

With a sense of awe and reverence, Alice raised her head, her eyes gleaming with resolve. She knew that through this mystical gateway, their forces would embark on a daring ambush, striking at the heart of their adversaries. The El-Tree had granted them this extraordinary opportunity, and she would lead humanity with unwavering determination, for the stakes were nothing short of their very existence.

As the World Link shimmered with radiant energy, Alice couldn't help but feel a surge of hope and determination. The El-Tree had opened a passage, a connection between realms, transcending the boundaries of space and time. It was a symbol of unity, a testament to the strength of their cause, and a reminder that their actions would echo across the cosmos.

With the World Link now established, Alice turned back, ready to rally her comrades. They would step through that mystical portal, embarking on a perilous journey that would test their mettle and shape the course of the war. As they moved forward, they carried with them the hopes and dreams of their race, guided by the power of the El-Tree and the boundless courage within their hearts.
