2 Manatite
In a certain valley in the mountains.
A group of people has made this place into their base. They are the strongest bandit group in this area, the Wild-Boar. Their Leader has some dealings with a noble in a nearby city and so, he knows which people not to offend. This past years, he was only targeting the local commoners from the nearby villages and the merchant's caravans that has no connection with a noble.
_______________
But at this moment, he's very scared. He cannot remember when he had offended a terrifying monster.
*gush*
*thud*
A fatty raised his arm and yelled. "Wait!.. who you are?!.. we never offended any noble from the city."
One of the veteran warrior said in a trembling voice "You… m..must have gotten the wrong person!" He suddenly felt a tremendous danger boring down on him.
The man in front of them suddenly transform into a bizarre humanoid monster with four tentacles coming from its waist.
*spurt*
"Motherfucker… where are the rest?!, why are they so slow!? "The horrified fat leader started to scream while looking at his ten warriors slowly reduced to mincemeat.
*kshaa*
One of the four mechanical tentacles stabbed his forehead and started emitting a low light.
"His knowledge about this world is too lacking." Feeling disappointed, the monster created a bunch of miniature fireballs, turning the corpses to ash. Then one of his tentacle emitted an inaudible sound that scanned the whole area.
"So that's where he has been keeping them." Deep into the cave, at least 20 prisoners were currently bounded by a series of chains. Five of them were just children, while the others were healthy adults. It seems the bandits are keeping their products healthy, as they prepare to sell them illegally in the slave market in a few days.
The monster didn't went to save them directly, he first went to search for the bandit's treasure vault. The leader's treasure room was well hidden but it was still easily found. In it, is a good amount of gold and other treasures. After keeping all of it, he then transform himself to look like normal human again.
Aesma doesn't have a doppelganger or shape-shifter skills but since he could control all 40 trillion mechanical blocks in his body by using a racial ability, changing his appearance was pretty easy.

"Big Brother thank you! (Young man thank you!)" The local youngsters in this village were all very happy to see their parent or their siblings again, while the surviving adults were grateful to have escape the cruel path of slavery. Everyone felt joy to be reunited to their families again.
"There's no need to thank me since I was paid to do it. Also, I get to learn which city produces this manatite". After another few conversations, he turns around to leave.
He had stumble upon that village in the morning and detected a valuable item inside it. It was a small manatite stone, which could be useful for his current predicament. A manatite is a condensation of pure mana that formed into a stone. It can be found in nature or be made by a gathering array; a lost technology.
The Village Chief agreed to give him the treasure as a payment, if he finds a way to rescue the seven villagers that was abducted there two days ago.
After walking far enough where he can sense no one is spying on him, the space suddenly warps as he disappears into it.

In a certain distance away from a bustling city, a young man walks out of the void.
"So that's Grand Kaliweir." He was currently admiring the beautiful city that gives off a rich purple aura. Sixty years ago, this city suddenly went booming with wealth after the discovery of a natural manatite vein. Since then, this city has become the gathering haven for high level Mages and talented mage apprentices.
The King also sends his strongest mage to become the overseer of this city. So it was not surprising that in this city, the mages ends up having a much higher authority and reverence than the other job classes.
"Then Mage it is..." Aesma disintegrates and reform himself into an old man with a long white beard. This form will be more convenient for an outsider like him, in socializing with the higher-ups inside this city.
His current goal is to collect more information about this world and that famous news about a boulder-size high-grade manatite that was discovered 6 years ago.
