That explains the Hydra...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warning was clear, but there wasn't much choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was sealed, the artifact his only means of progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quest couldn't be completed without taking it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a long breath, wiping the sweat from his brow. \"Here goes nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Alex reached out, his fingers trembling as they neared the artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his hand made contact, reality itself seemed to shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air turned heavy, and a searing pain shot through his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\" he winced, instinctively trying to pull away, but his hand remained stuck to the artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like fire coursing through his veins, yet oddly, no damage notifications appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, another message popped up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Your soul has been strengthened by the \"Heart of Calamity.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, the artifact vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its crimson glow dissipated into Alex's body, leaving behind an eerie silence in the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh,\" Alex muttered, flexing his fingers. The pain was gone, replaced by a strange warmth that radiated from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he simply sat there, digesting what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the empty space where the artifact once lay. \"So… it's inside me now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he stood up and opened the World Map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selecting [Arceus' Tower], he activated the teleport function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber faded away, replaced by the familiar walls and glowing runes of Arceus' sanctuary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The towering mage himself stood in the center of the room, his arms crossed and an eyebrow raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His piercing eyes immediately narrowed on Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell?\" Arceus said, shocked, \"How the hell are you alive, there was about a legitimate tier 7 monster in there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to recruit someone as a student was a hassle, so Arceus gave him a quest he thought would be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the initial days, Arceus even believed the kid was already dead or abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's the heart?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. \"Yeah, about that—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Arceus' gaze sharpened, and his aura flared. \"You absorbed the Heart of Calamity, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded. \"I didn't have a choice. The Hydra was going to kill me, and I couldn't exactly leave it there, could I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, Arceus stared at him, his expression unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, to Alex's surprise, a small smirk tugged at the corners of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foolish, reckless... but undeniably impressive,\" Arceus admitted. \"You've done something no mortal should be capable of. That artifact should have obliterated you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex raised an eyebrow. \"So… you're not mad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I'm furious,\" Arceus snapped, his tone dripping with sarcasm. \"But I'd be a greater fool than you to let such potential go to waste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new notification appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have completed the SSS-Level Grand Mage Hidden Quest, \"Become Arceus' Student\"!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have received the \"Arceus Student Title\"!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'LET'S GO!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a Grand Mage as a teacher, learning Forbidden Spells and more would be entirely possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex could have never imagined in his past life he could grow strong enough to be recognized as \"worthy\" by a Grand Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Alex could respond, a chime from his interface drew his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Messages from Alice flooded his inbox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[StarPillow: Where are you?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[StarPillow: It's been two days, Alex.

Boy, this is a grand mage's sanctuary, not a reunion spot for adventurers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax,\" Alex said, waving him off. \"She's not a mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn right she's not,\" Arceus scoffed, \"I only took you in because of your exceptional results in that little test of mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the room was palpable, but Arceus finally relented with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. You're my student now, and I don't go back on my word. But if you're going to be worth my time, we need to get you stronger. Far stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a hand, snapping his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shimmering golden portal appeared behind him, its surface swirling with arcane energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Artemis,\" he called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the portal stepped a striking figure—a two-winged angel clad in golden armor, his presence radiating authority and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knelt before Arceus, his voice calm and unwavering. \"Yes, Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arceus gestured toward Alex with a lazy wave. \"This one. Take him to the [Double Experience Zone]. Make sure he trains properly.
