Asgard was in a state of jubilation and festival, As Bor openly declared his stepping down from Godking position and asgard political affairs and crowning Odin the next Godking.
This change was not simple as it would give raise to new young generals, As Odin would choose his own trustworthy generals from the younger generation while shifting power from the older generation leaving only the experience and trustful one's.
While all this was happening anthony was locked up in asgard library engrossed studying rune's, taking experience from his past life to create a new magic system, as he couldn't use rune's like asgardians as he wasn't one. So he experimented with no current improvement in sight, He knew the journey ahead was still long and should be threaded with caution and preservation.
Odin's saw his friend's current predicament and allowed him access to Yggdrasil, so he could see how magical energy flow, Anthony became reclusive as anyone barely see him outside.
He sat close to Yggdrasil still yet his progress felt minimums,the magic energy emanating from Yggdrasil felt easy and free coexisting with nature itself while his magical energy felt like it was in opposition with nature. the rune's he learned were of no use without anyway to chanel energy into them without them going kaboom.
As Anthony was in deep thought he remembered a manhwa he used to read in his past life he remembered how the mage's in that world circulated magic in their body to condensed mana rings circling their heart.the amount of magic rings goes up to nine, it's starts from one ring to nine ring's which grant's the mage a transcended status reaching the pinnacle of sorcery, from one ring to three ring is a great mage, while from four ring to seven ring mage is a archmage,an eighth ring mage achieving a rank of a transcendent granting him access to an elemental rule if studied to the limit would lead to an advancement, he/she would achieve the legendary status of a nine ring mage. granting him absolutely control over the elemental rule he/she has developed to the limit a Demi-god capable of destruction beyond the norms.
As Anthony thought became clear he tried the process, converting his demonic energy to mana while condensing and circling it around his heart,it went fluent as he had absolutely control over his demonic energy the process was going well without any discomfort the mana condescend then went around his heart as it eventually connected again completing a circle around his heart, but as he was in a state of excitement that his conjunctions were right the condensed mana ring became unstable as they start to dissolve, he panicked as any wrong move might turn him into a blood meat of bones and flesh.
He Instinctively used rune's to run inscription directly on the mana rings surface which shammered before stabilizing, he felt relieved and shocked that rune's can be used to stabilize mana rings. a ding voice rang in his head which startled him before calming down his self as he remembered he has a system although useless, it helps him keep in track with progress of his skills. he said status window.

it's been a long time I took a look at my status I have made progress, I see my approach and effort has been recognized by the system which means I already have a template to follow.
It took Anthony another month for him to come out of seclusion with a smile on his face, as he was able to create a one star spell which he named magic missile as it create pure mana bullet that shots out from magic circle.
The magic circles that appeared at first was a surprise to him, but he quickly got the idea and information about what it represent and the energy that flows through, he studied and deciphered the symbols that appeared in the magic circle.
So he can use them to construct new spells, everyone that saw Anthony was surprised.anthony came out because his friend Odin dragged him out telling him "my marriage is in a few day's and you are turning into a ghost in your room, you only come out when heading to Yggdrasil,your people are causing terror through out Asgard, while you are turning into a freak in your room. Are you sure you and your people are normal" come out and join the preparation.odin said.
A few days later the celebration begin as friends and allies across the nine realms arrived for the succession/marriage.for this marriage tips the power balance and favor toward the already dominat asgard.
Even the king of dwarves who was usually busy with his forge attended.the queen of light elf came personally,the sorcerer himself agamotto was present. seeing the gathering of strong allies, anthony felt that war was getting closer than anyone thought,but the question was who will ignite the spark of war.
Dressed in his usual attire even in this occasion Anthony observed each guest's, imprinting their image into his mind.its vital to know your enemies and allies, Anthony went to forge bond's with relevant people such as agamotto,firehair and the prehistoric black panther.
After bonding and building connections his gaze fell on odin and frigga.they were both breming with happiness and joy for a moment he felt jealous for his friend Odin before approaching them congratulating Odin for his ascension to become Godking while also for marriage gone successfully, Anthony also congratulated frigga too who smiled back at him.
Anthony sighed after walking away from them sitting in chair while still taking a few glances at odin and Frigga at the center before saying, "one day I'll start my own family in my own realm live quietly, while raising my offspring to become strong both mentally and physically as my thoughts settled I felt a strong and abundant spiritual energy influx that stabilized my soul and body synchronizing them perfectly.
Agamotto was the first to sense it before Odin and the rest powerful people present,Odin could gauge Anthony's power level has reached the peak sub level father which surprised him a little before shrugging it off, the more powerful his friend is the chances of him surviving and also wining the war that are coming.
Odin dismissed everyone that was trying to probe Anthony's level saying "Friends, please my friend here has been in seclusion for awhile that was what lead to this current situation,he means no harm",
While Anthony was immersed in his inner world, odin succession and ceremony was completed,guest were led to the hall to celebrate leaving Anthony to his quiet transformation
