41.2-21 The Birth of a New Order – The Sorcerer Organization

In Her Name – The Beginning of a New Organization

In a small fiefdom just outside the city center—a place only recently being settled—a woman stepped up onto a platform.

Her silver hair shimmered under the night sky.Sorcerers had gathered, murmuring amongst themselves.

Each of them had grown strong in their own way,bearing different beliefs and unique personalities.

Yet tonight, they stood united under a common purpose.

She drew a deep breath and began to speak.

"I am Sariel."

Her name rang through the air.

"Today, I declare the founding of a new organization for sorcerers."

"No longer shall we live in the shadows of the Wizard Guild."

Dissent Among the Sorcerers – The Challenge of Organization

Her declaration triggered immediate reactions.

"She wants to bind us into an organization?"

"Sorcerers don't form groups.We've each become powerful on our own."

"We're not like the wizards who grow through study!""Is she trying to take away our freedom?"

Sorcerers were born with innate power.That power came with strong individuality.

They had never followed orders from anyone,each carving their path alone.

Now, the idea of forming a group felt foreign—unnatural.

Sariel listened calmly to the murmurs of dissent.

Then, slowly, she raised her hand.

Magic pulsed in the air—a wave of blue energy amplifying her voice.

"I'm not here to steal your freedom."

"But if we don't become a unified force,we'll always be vulnerable, picked off one by one."

She looked each person in the eye as she spoke.

"We are powerful as individuals.But individual strength alone cannot reshape the order of the world."

"We have always been the strong,but never a strong faction."

"That distinction is what we must understand."

Her voice turned resolute.

"I was born a sorcerer.I lived under the oppression of the wizards."

"Within the magical society they built,we've always been outsiders."

"But now, that ends."

"From this day forward, we build a new order of our own."

Silence fell across the gathered crowd.

They began to understand—Sariel was not here to suppress them,but to protect them.

Then someone quietly asked:

"But… what about our freedom?"

Sariel smiled gently.

"You will not lose it."

"We will each walk our own paths—but when needed, we will stand together."

"The strong may remain unique,but we can still defend each other."

Her words began to settle deep in their hearts.

The Kingdom and Nobles Take Notice – Not Just a Rebellion

After that day,sorcerers began to rally behind Sariel's name.

They came from different regions,raised in different circumstances.

But they all shared one thing:none of them had ever been accepted by the Wizard Guild.

Word spread quickly.

And soon, nobles and political powers within the kingdom took notice.

High-ranking officials gathered behind closed doors.

"They've formed an organization?"

"This isn't just rebellion.They're attempting to build political order."

"The Wizard Guild won't be able to suppress them easily."

"So… what should we do?"

They fell into deep deliberation.

The Wizard Guild was powerful.But sorcerers, individually, could overwhelm them in sheer strength.

What if the kingdom could use them?Or profit politically from the conflict between the Guild and the new sorcerer faction?

It was a tempting opportunity.

Yet one problem remained.

"Sorcerers are, by nature, free-spirited."

"Binding them into a unified force… will not be easy."

And in that chaos,how could the kingdom gain the upper hand?

That was the nobles' dilemma.

The Wizard Guild's Response – Power Beyond Control

Within the Wizard Guild,the news was received as a dire threat.

An emergency meeting was held.

"This is dangerous."

"If sorcerers form a real organization,we could lose our dominant place in magical society."

"We must crush them now, by force!"

But that was easier said than done.

Sorcerers possessed overwhelming individual combat power.Any attempt to suppress them would only provoke further resistance.

"For now, we avoid direct conflict."

"We'll pressure them politically."

The Guild issued a statement:

"We do not recognize the legitimacy of this so-called sorcerer organization."

"Sorcerers, by their very nature, are unstable elements in magical society.An organization built upon such a foundation cannot be valid."

However, the kingdom and the nobility were already exploring ways to use the sorcerers.

Would the Guild's political pressure work?

That remained to be seen.

A New Order Emerges – The Sorcerers' Future

Sariel looked up at the night sky.

Her organization had just been born.Still small, but growing.

Sorcerers were beginning to stand with her.

"This is only the beginning."

She whispered to herself.

She knew the Wizard Guild would not back down.Politically, their position was still precarious.

But the movement had started.

Now that sorcerers had glimpsed the possibility of unity,the world would never be the same.

Sariel smiled faintly.

"Rean, I wonder… what future did you see?"

She closed her eyes.

And with that,she prepared for the battle to forge a new order.

Chapter : Rumors on the Wind

Conversations at the Tavern – A New Current

For the first time in a while,Damian and his companions found a moment of peace.After battles, ambushes, and Rean's decision to take a new path,everything had been moving at breakneck speed.

Now, they were gathered in a local tavern, sharing drinks.

Ian raised his glass.

"Feels like we can finally breathe again."

Cain leaned against the window and said,

"But quiet times usually mean something's about to happen."

Rean silently set her glass down.She closed her eyes, lost in thought.

At that moment,voices from a nearby table caught their ears.

"Did you hear? The sorcerers have formed an organization."

Ian turned his head with interest.

"Oh? That's an interesting piece of news."

Cain, too, quietly listened in.Gradually and naturally, they tuned into the conversation.

The Sorcerer Organization – Stories Spreading

"What was the name again…?"

"I heard it was founded by someone named Sariel."

"Sariel? Isn't that a sorceress?"

"Yeah. She's the one gathering sorcerers herself."

Damian slowly set down his glass and murmured,

"…Faster than I expected."

Rean smiled faintly as she looked at him.

"That's the kind of person she is."

Ian asked, curiosity all over his face,

"But sorcerers? Gathering like that? Is that even possible?"

Cain answered quietly.

"Normally, no."

"Sorcerers usually act alone.But something must've changed this time."

The conversation at the next table continued.

"The Wizard Guild's opposing them, right?"

"Of course. They've always monopolized the magical society.Now there's a rival faction threatening that."

"But isn't the kingdom still neutral?"

"That's the tricky part.The kingdom hasn't declared hostility toward the sorcerers."

"Why not?"

"Because that new group is powerful.And if the sorcerers and the Wizard Guild end up clashing,the kingdom might be able to exploit it."

Ian let out a soft laugh.

"So it's becoming a political game now."

Cain nodded.

"This isn't just a squabble between mages anymore."

"The whole structure of magical society is starting to shake."

The Wizard Guild Responds – The Beginning of Conflict

Rean spoke quietly.

"The Wizard Guild won't just sit back."

Damian's voice was firm.

"Of course not.They're not just scholars—they're wielders of power."

"If sorcerers manage to organize,it means the foundation of the current system could collapse."

"They'll retaliate, one way or another."

Ian muttered,

"Then the sorcerers are in danger?"

Rean exhaled softly.

"Even so, she'll keep moving forward."

"And whether her path is right or wrong…Time will tell."

Damian silently raised his glass once more.

The World is Changing

From that day on,tensions between the Sorcerer Organization and the Wizard Guild continued to grow.

It was no longer a matter of magical rivalry.It had become a current powerful enough to reshape the order of the world.

And in the midst of that vortex,Damian and his companions found themselves drawn in—deeper than ever.
