The Daybreak Magic Tower had become considerably popular over the last few years. The number of magical items they sell through the empire commercial channels is stunning and not only did they were sold at very low prices their quality is above average making them very popular among the masses.

But this was not the only thing that made it famous. A few years ago there was an attempt against it, where several Rank 3 life forms had attack it.

Each of them was more powerful than the Magus that first assaulted the Daybreak clan, unfortunately for them, the magic tower had been upgraded and the Sunlight Core grew incredibly stronger with the years.

All of them were pulverized by beams of golden flames before they could do anything to the tower or the members of the Daybreak Clan.

The assailants had their body covered and there was no way to identify them, and because the Daybreak Clan raise no accusation against anyone the story end up there.

However, this made clear that unless you are a Soul Forging existence attacking the Daybreak Clan was suicide.

The City of the Sun had grown exponentially and was now more than two hundred kilometers long and one hundred kilometers wide, extending their territory over the Endless Forest and reaching very close to the entrance of the Underground Zone.

The city was filled with new houses and buildings, with all sorts of recreation facilities like bars and there were even barbershops and playgrounds.

Due to the constant number of tribes that came from Wasteland and the programs that incentivized procreation the number of Sunlight Champion was now counted in the hundreds of thousands.

A great percentage of the adult mostly center on hunting and military training, but slowly groups started to form who were interested in training runecrafting, alchemy, magic creations, and other professions.

Although there was not an actual wall that divided the city, two areas were formed as the population grew larger. The mid and outer circle was where the 'outer' and 'inner members' of the Daybreak clan lived and the center was inhabited by the 'core members'.

In the beginning, the 'core members' were only the Neo-Demon. The rest of the clan did not know how to obtain that position, and some of them thought it was unreachable.

But that changed when the Sunlight Champions that went to war came back. All of them obtained the position of 'core members' as did their families and they move to the center of the city.

This event sparked a flame of excitement in the other Sunlight Champions and all of them focused on improving their abilities.

In reality, when it came to safety and living conditions there was no difference between the center of the city and the rest, but it was related to their status in the clan and by being closer to the Sunlight Core their speed of training was better.

Under the city, there were dozen of factories filled with automatons working day and night, who transformed the resources they got from the lands they possess in the Beta Heavenly World and also the ones obtained by the clan members in the Magi Wolrd.

They were being controlled by the Elder Brain and charged with the energy of the tower, so they were constantly creating magic items to sell.

The wealth that Dante had managed to accumulate during these years will make any other mid-level clan go crazy with envy.

The streets of the City of the Sun were filled with all types of races and you could see that there was not any sort of segregation, all the contrary, there was a sense of unity among all of them.

Close to the periphery of the city a child of the werebear race was running with all of his power and if you follow his path you could see that he headed to the Endless Forest.

”Xinti, you brat, stop now!”

The voice came from a gnoll man that was chasing the werebear, but when the child hears him instead of stopping, he activated his Sunlight Aura and ran even faster.

The man was flying and when he saw that the boy speed, anger appeared on his face and he also activated his Sunlight Aura increasing his speed greatly.

The child was fast but could not compare to the man who was at Rank 1 and before he could come out from the golden light that covers the city and enter the Endless Forest the gnoll man grabbed by his clothes and raise him the air.

There were a lot of Sunlight Champions that saw how the man seizes the boy but they did not interfere and they were looking at them with smiles on their faces.

The gnoll man stares at the boy and in this one there was a look of defeat.

”You little brat what do you think you are doing. Once again I catch you skipping school and now you try to enter the Endless Forest on your own.”
