Chapter 69: Breakthrough, Breakthrough, Must Breakthrough? by Harem-Fan

Exodus City, the Capital of the Southern Mage Queen's Kingdom...

This sprawling city is roughly 100 miles in diameter, but not heavily congested or compacted.

All buildings have spacious lands and are not piled up right next to one another. All of the homes, businesses, and parks are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, a woman's touch is noticeable here, as beauty and colors are well managed.

Groups of patrolling Knights led by a Mage patrol the city to assure order is kept.

From my Earth memories, I can tell that despite the glamorous looks, the law is very tight, like a military state.

The men walk around with their eyes down, to not offend any Mage women. Even the normal women seem to be the majority of business bosses with men being employees.

Now mind you, there are a lot of happy normal men walking around, and do not look like they live in a concentration-camp, but you do notice men following one step behind their wives carting bags, and wearing forced smiles not complaining about being henpecked. It is a feminist Utopia.

I said it before, but in the South, Harems are not-legal, and even Harems from the other two Nations are not recognized if you move to the South as a resident, and a man may claim only a single wife. This policy is what makes Salem Argus sad.

So what makes Exodus City incredible? Is it the beauty of the city itself, no... It is the 7 giant floating Islands that cover the sky of Exodus City. This is the pride of the Mage Kingdom, their claim to fame.

But there is a bit of a special background to these 7 floating Islands... They are all created based off of the Lorelei Family's lost method. Floating Islands are a unique magic item that made the Humans of the Lorelei Kingdom in the past, a true powerhouse.

For over a thousand years, the truth was hidden to the Southerners. Even Salinas did not know the truth until she took the throne. Naturally I only learned this secret from Evelina and Kayo.

So, did the Widow Mage Queen create these islands? No she captured them from the Undead legions as she cleared out the South from the Undead Lands control. She then repurposed the islands and made her utopia for women, or rather for Mages.

Despite her warped views from her tragic past, the Widow Queen was a truly terrifying woman, who was as strong as Zoe, but with offensive Life Magic at her disposal. She single handedly pushed back the Undead with a wave of her hands, making a name for herself and letting Humans crush the Undead for the first time.

But her warped views made her neglect her amazing Son, the very first male spellcaster in Human history. Instead of cherishing him like a Mother should, she elevated Salinas, and pushed Salem down to show the other Mage women that even the Great Widow Queen preferred women over men.

Ironically, it was the Widow Queen's own male lover who killed her in the end, because she treated him as nothing more than a tool, but he still loved her and killed himself, after sending her body away to an unknown destination... (.)

Well, regarding the 7 Floating Islands...

The largest central island... The Royal Castle and all high level officials live here.

The northernmost island... Is Exodus Academy. Like Rosecrans and Whirlwind, it has three years with a total of 600 students at a time. The women of this Academy wear dresses in dark blue with silver decorations.

The northeast most island... Royal Magical Re

Silently, Dial Canberra broke her chain of fate, and unlike dying as a 3rd Circle Summoner in Zoe's past, Dial broke through to 4th circle with Zoe's influence. Dial was never weak, but just was overshadowed by Vera and Sam.

When Dial Summoned her partner, she wanted something that could let her stay alive and let her stand by Sam, to show her resolve. And a creature that could stop her Brother.

And to her shock, an 8th Circle answered her call.

A 40 foot tall humanoid-shaped being made of pure stone, with the appearance of a person.

This creature of the Elemental Plane of Earth is known in Legends as the... Titan.

The Titan is as strong as True Dragons with the powers of both the Strong and Vanguard Earth Knights.

It is gender-less, but resembles a strong muscular man. Its skin is a grey-slate. It is a living statue of Humanity.

The Titan told her his name was... Atlas.

Dial instantly lost her inferiority complex she had with Vera, and hope sprang back into her heart...

I was unaware of everyone's breakthroughs, but I managed to reach the goal of 5th Circle Swift Knight and Summoner.

And with Evelina's 'personal' teaching, engraving my spells was a cinch.

To celebrate my new growth, I found Kelly for some one-on-one training, to explore her 4th Circle breakthrough, and practice our 69 skills we have perfected...

To be continued, in Kelly's bed...
