10 Quest from Antium queen
In a dark cell 15km below the surface sat a man, time became irrelevant for him, days blurred into weeks and weeks blurred into months and eventually the months turned into years. How was he alive? No one knows, not even himself. His mind was broken by the loneliness, his only friends the puppets he made of dirt, memories of this cursed world scrolling through his head, the hate, the anger, the death. He finally came to realize he MURDERED someone, not one but over 10, deep down he knew this punishment was his to bare but his captors didn't, to them he was just an intruder.
They set crystals along the walls and roof of the cell to try and contain his magic after he blew through a tunnel in an attempt to escape. Clay figured something out about the crystals, their limit.
By injecting enough mana into each eventually they broke releasing the stored mana to in a sort of implosion of power. And finally he finished. After 15 years 9 months and 16 days he was ready. The marks on the wall a testament to the time it took to plan this all out. Gathering his remaining mana within his core to a ball in his hand he released the shadows out, sounds of thousands of crystals shattering filled the air then a subsonic boom.
Clay had to shield his eyes as the light from the sun bore down on him. With a smirk on face he said "finally."
A loud screech alerted him to the few survivors of the explosions. The Queen.
Clay decided to go and check out the remains of the queens chamber and see what was left. Reaching the ruins say only a single ant standing there, at over two meters tall standing on its hind leges like a human it was an imposing sight to say the least.
"You..." it stated slowly turning around to face him. Clay finally got a good look at its level.
Norrell the Conqueror (Antium-Conqueror)- lvl. 2746 2,062,389/3,000,000HP 158,750/200,000MP
"Holy fuck....." Clay sputtered.
The ant turned to him releasing its full aura. Like a tidal wave of power it struck Clay sending him flying across the crater. Faster then he could blink it appeared in-front of him, Clay steeled himself for another death knowing what was coming, then it started laughing.
"You are quite amusing you know" it said out of breath. "It has been a long time since I have had to use my mana after I hunted everything of any strength in 1000 km radius. You are quite a special human huh, the mana I sensed in explosions contained light, dark, and lightning which I must admit was quite the impressive display." Motioning to the destroyed colony around it.
"You-r not-t going to k-kill me for k-killing everything y-you built?" Clay stuttered out.
"Honestly it was becoming a burden and was no longer fun for me." It shrugged.
Clay finally steeling his nerves asked the most obvious and baffling question. "How are speaking English?"
"Oh yes the human language, I have been alive for thousands of years and have killed many humans in the process. You have such a primitive language, it disgusts me. Anyways I want to offer you a quest because you seem like the only thing willing to challenge me."
"Huh?!?" Clay asked stunned before a new screen appeared.

"I expect you back here in a thousand years, I except great things surviver." It finished.
Clay sat there baffled. "You know about the survivors?" He asked.
"Why of course, I have been around for a few thousand years. I have seen the rise and fall of empires even made some crumble myself as you can see by my name." The ant stated. "But no more questions, I use earth magic and can help you get where ever you need to be so where you going? Human capital I assume."
"Uh ya.." Clay said a tad confused.
"Great off you go!" It said snapping it's hand like appendage. With a whirl of power a chunk of rock rose from the ground and sent Clay flying.

(Norrell's POV)
She chittered her mandibles in excitement as the explosions went off. Something finally worthy attacking the colony?
Once the massive cloud of dust settled she looked around and couldn't help but laugh as before her stood the human she took prisoner 15 years ago.
'My, My!' She thought. 'Is this a worthy challenger?!
Making sure to release the full extent of her aura, she watched as the human was flung across the crater like a doll. After dashing across she recognized something about its aura.
'It's a survivor!' She thought with glee. 'Those are always so much fun to fight!'
After talking to it for a while she finally gave him the quest she gives everyone she encounters with potential.
'1000 years to kill Huh? oh well.' She thought with a shrug as the human sped away on the rock she created.
Creating a throne of pure crystals she sat down to wait.

(Normal POV)
Clay sat on that rock for a week as it sped at a remarkable speed towards what he assumed was the capital. In that time he decided to apply the metric fuck ton of stat points he got.

Clay looked at his new stats in pleasure. Some of the new abilities were rather interesting, like the plague of darkness creates a disease out of pure dark mana or summon: Wraith which allows Clay to open a portal to the abysmal realm and bring back a incarnation of pure darkness. The light based were ok, nothing special really. The Goddesses blessing basically allowed Clay to remove any negative ailments and aura of the pure was just a mass healing spell.
The two most notable to Clay were Lord of the Darkness and Mana Detonation.
-Lord of the Darkness is the next step in the shadow born trait line. Increase all dark based abilities by 200%, Reduce Dark based ability cost by 25%.-
-Mana detonation is formed through rapid mixing of multiple elements causing imbalance. Damage based on amount and type of mana added.-
As the rock finally landed in a forest a few miles away from the massive looming walls of the capital, Clay was happy to finally be able to move. Taking off in flat sprint the world shifted around him in a blur, not used to the speed Clay slammed face first into a tree, splitting it in half.
"Ouch." He said rubbing his forehead.
Getting up he went off on a light jog, which with his incredible speed was still pretty fast.
Clay stopped at the tree line before the road. Doing quick mental math he realized that if he put illusion magic up he could hold it indefinitely with his regen. Watching the road for a bit longer he determined the average level tended to be around 9-14 so setting his magic up he changed his appearance to make him look sixteen, 5'11", brown hair, silver eyes, and relatively skinny. He changed his level down to a 10 and made sure only a bit of dark mana was sensible so if any mages were near they wouldn't think much of it. Changing out of the armour he had on, Clay put back on the basic rags that he got from the dastardly shopkeeper Fred.
Walking onto the road Clay got in line to enter the capital and after about a good two hours he finally came to the guards standing there holding a rifle.
A dead eyed guard spoke to him. "That will be ten coppers." He said in a almost robotic voice.
"Sir I don't have any money but I have items." Clay replied taking a look at their stats.
William (human)- Lvl.24 205/205HP 100/100MP
'Pretty low huh' he thought.
*Sigh* "Whatcha got?" He asked .
Clay pulled out 5 of the Antium chitin pieces. Holding for the guard to see, he noticed the Gaurds eyes widen a tad.
"That will work."
"Thank you sir" Clay responded after handing over the chitin, knowing that was just 5 out of the hundreds in his storage.
"So this is the capital." He said.
"Pretty neat huh?" A voice said.
Turning to see who it was Clays eyes widened in surprise.
