AK - The Alchemy Kingdom

Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Check out my spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death. Both are independent but share the same world and can give additional info on worldbuilding and hidden plots. Don't forget to check the comments section for images (Magic tools, Inventory, ...)

Chapter 162 – Mining operations

Year 5, Spring, Third Month, First Week.

“We hit another rock, sir.”

Karl gave off a tired sigh as he stared at the recently built tunnel with a complicated expression. This was the umpteenth time they were barred by rock since yesterday when they started excavating. Usually, the excavator would be able to go through the rock with some difficulty, but the rocks close to the Green Mountains’ vein were bathed in magic energy for thousands of years making them stronger and resistant to their tool. Diana, who was impatiently leaned against the cave wall a few steps back, couldn’t help but voice her opinion.

“Why don’t we use the tunnel above the crystal cave? We just need to make it wider…”

The Alchemist felt a little irritated by the unhelpful interruption. Of course things weren’t that simple, otherwise, why would they waste time and resources trying to go through another path? Even so, Karl pushed back the irritation and answered her politely.
