Tree Pillar/Spiritual Pilla 1 Prologue A young man about 21 years old was on a house made in the middle of a small forest, he''s the kind of person that likes to stay alone, coupled with the fact that he''s rich, he was able to build a beautiful house for him to live leisurely for the rest of his life, he had enough money. The young man is named ''Alex'' and his only hobby is to read light novels, web novels, manga and watch animes, Alex was liking the path his life was going for, with enough money to live till the rest of his life, he would wait till the end of his life, unfortunately, somethings never go the way the person wants. His birthday was coming and on that specific day, an unfortunate thing happened, a meteor whose the govern couldn''t predict and avoid suddenly entered Earth atmosphere and then, it took a random direction... the direction, unfortunately for Alex, was the house he lived at, he was, as usual, reading when that happened. The meteor fell on the forest as a huge explosion happened, the fire started to take over all of the trees and then, towards his house, Alex only noticed it after smelling a burning, bad scent, before he could run, his house was on complete fire. Alex could only helplessly watch as the flames slowly approached him and then, started to burn his body, he screamed in pain, he thought that even if the flames arrived, his death would be quick ''Why is this hurting so much, why must I suffer slowly?!'' Alex thought to himself, screams no longer left his mouth as his voice faded. Differently from normal, where a human like him wouldn''t take a long amount of time before he died because of the flames, these flames burned him slowly, as such, it took a long time before Alex''s consciousness faded away, entering the deep, boundless void. ''So this is the end, huh...'' Alex thought for the last time before he could no longer see anything. At the same time he died, a baby was born on a completely different world, a tired-looking woman with beautiful features was breathing heavily as she looked to the baby with her caring, loving eyes "My baby boy... you... you''ll be named Feuer Flake, first son of the Flake noble house...!'''' This was all she said before falling in deep sleep, the woman was extremely tired since the boy birth was hard, just as she slept, no longer able to keep herself awake, a man that seems to have about 30 years old and a handsome look entered the room. The man face while looking to everyone was cold, seeing the man cold face, the maids that helped the woman to give birth quickly left, feeling scared, at the same time they left, the previously cold expression of the man face disappeared, revealing an expression that was the complete opposite, his face was now warm as he looked to his wife and son. A few years passed and the baby boy was now seven years old, the day where every kid of his clan, one of the ''Four Noble Clans'' from the ''Auroria Kingdom'' would test their talents to see if they''re qualified to be either a cultivator or a magician. In this world, there are two paths, the path of Cultivation and the path of Magic, one is concentrated on strengthening the body while the other is concentrated on strengthening the spirit, there are, however, no one able to follow both paths, once a person chooses a path, they won''t be able to change it once again. "Luar, talent towards Magic!'''' One of the Elders of the clan said, smiling slightly, having talent towards Magic is rarer than cultivation and usually, an experienced magician would have the advantage against a cultivator, mainly because of their long-distance spells, however, on close combat, a cultivator would easily defeat a magician. More and more kids of the Flake clan were tested, most of them having talent towards cultivation, the reason a magician is rarer than a cultivator is that it is concentrated on strengthening the spirit, obtaining control to one or more elements. The eyes of everyone, be it the current Clan Leader, which is Feuer father, the Elders of the Clan or the kids that already awakened were on Feuer, that was about to have his talent tested, however, as he touched the stone that tests it, nothing happed as the entire room fell in silence, though extremely rare, when the stone doesn''t show anything, it means that the person can''t be either cultivator or magician. Some kids laughed at Feuer misfortune but their parents quickly stopped them, what if the Clan Leader punishes them? With him here, no one dared to do anything, despite that, they still laughed in their hearts, Feuer, that was extremely excited to his awakening, was now paralyzed, his mind blank. Despite how his father hid his disappointment through his usual cold expression, how could Feuer don''t notice it? With a blank expression, Feuer went to his bedroom and just laid on the bed with a lifeless expression.

Though he''s just seven years old, Feuer is far more mature than kids at his age and understand that even if his status as the Clan Leader son is maintained, he never would have an accomplishment from his own and his peers and the rest of the clan would see him in disdain. Feuer also thought how this would bring shame to his father and clan, his young mind made a decision as he picked a knife, that he used to eat on that morning and tried to slash his own neck. Just as the knife was near his neck, a shock was spread through his entire body as a soul, that was sleeping silently on the young boy''s body, awakened. "Where am I?" He asked with his young and immature voice before blacking out, the burden of his soul suddenly awakening appeared, his loss of consciousness the consequence. 2 Start 1 Silently, the day passed and the night arrived, bringing its cold, dark and chilly aura along with it, at the same time, Feuer woke up, he felt dizzy and his vision is also blurry, after a few moments, his vision returned to normal as he fell in contemplation. ''Did I reincarnate...? It seems so, just... I don''t seem to have been reincarnated with the so-called cheat or golden finger that I had read on the novels back then on my previous life and damn, why did my death have to be so painful?'' Feuer thought to himself as he wanted to forget the painful memory of the flames slowly burning his body as the pain just increased, shaking his heads, he said out loud ''''So I will have to live ordinarily, huh...'''' It isn''t that he wants to be ordinary, through his entire life, he felt empty, he had money and all but what about it? Feuer always thought how exciting it would be for him to enter a world of cultivation or magic, despite its dangers. Here he is, just, without the talent to either cultivation or magic, his only way is to live ordinarily, Feuer sighed while thinking about the new but familiar memories that he now has, his mother gave birth to him while still sick and after just three years passed, her sickness attacked once again and she lost her life, since her death, even near him, his father doesn''t smile at all. Feuer felt as if he was, once again, empty, despite the fact that he is finally on the world he always dreamt, he''s forced to live ordinarily, he can''t cultivate or use magic, he even wonders why he''s such unlucky person, first, a meteor randomly falls on his house and then, he was reincarnated on a world with both cultivation and magic but can''t use even one of them... Just then, someone opened the door, looking at the door, Feuer noticed it was his father, that entered silently and sat on the bed, all while staring at him, after a few moments staring at his son, Heinz said ''''Son... even though you can''t cultivate or use magic, you don''t need to worry, even if it brings shame to the clan or to me, don''t worry, father won''t let anything happens to you...!'''' Feuer looked up and met his father''s firm gaze, he nodded slightly and said ''''Um... I understand, father, just... I wanted to make you proud, now, this isn''t possible anymore...'''' this is what the previous owner of the body wanted, his true desires, it was nothing more than a young boy wanting the approval of his father. ''What''s with this? My... soul feels lighter? No, this is the regret of the previous owner of this body vanishing? Just like that?'' Feuer thought to himself and also thought how easy the regret vanished but then, he simply shrugged his shoulders and imagined that this is a good thing, after all. ''''Though I can''t cultivate or use magic, at least I''ll follow the clan training and make my body stronger, I don''t want to have a frail body'''' Feuer muttered with a serious expression that looked rather fun on his young, childish face. The Clan would start training the new generation tomorrow and though Feuer knows that he''ll be ridiculed, he doesn''t want to be oblivious to this kind of thing. The cold, dark and chilly night passed rather quickly as the sun once again rose proudly to the sky, making people feel its warm and gentle feeling as always, despite his soul being of a 21-year old young man, Feuer couldn''t help but get excited, though he wouldn''t be able to use it like his peers, he''ll still learn martial arts from a different world, in his previous life, as a fanatic reader of novels of Fantasy and this kind of thing, he learned how to fight just for the sake of it. Feuer then went in the direction of the ''Flake Clan Training Ground'', it is basically inside a huge courtyard with dummies and things made for the new generation to train at, there were some kids of the clan, already sat on the ground, just waiting for the Teacher instructions. Some of them looked to Feuer in disdain before turning to look towards the Teacher again, the boy in question just ignored them, why would he, that has the soul of a 21-year old young man, care about these little kids? Sitting a bit far from the rest of the kids, Feuer quietly paid attention to what the Teacher said ''''Our Flake Clan was created hundreds of years ago by the ancestor, ¨ªlio Flake, he, single-handed, established the clan and made a name for himself. Our Clan is known by the offensive techniques, most of our mages or magicians have the Fire element, having a strong offensive power!'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. The kids quickly grew bored seeing that the Teacher was giving history lessons, Feuer, however, was paying attention and the Teacher saw it, nodding in satisfaction while thinking ''Though he can''t cultivate or become a mage, at least he''s paying attention to the lessons!'' He then continued ''''Our cultivators, though they don''t have element since cultivation is about strengthening the body also has an offensive style of Martial Arts, I''ll also give you a piece of advice, kids, remember, on this world, only the strong have the right to speak, work hard!'''' ''''Everyone that awakens the ability to use Mana get access to the so-called [Gaia System], you just need to think inside your head ''System'' and it''ll appear, the [Gaia System] doesn''t help you to get stronger through killing or something, it''s something made to purely help all races to understand themselves as it shows the person name, age, cultivation or mage realm'''' He then started to guide the guides to awaken the Gaia System. ''I don''t even want this at all, tch'' Feuer thought but deep inside, he felt slightly frustrated, shaking his head, he started to study what he was taught today inside his head. 3 Start 2 The lessons that the Teacher talked about, the basics, were actually relatively enjoying, at least this is what most of the kids thought, Feuer being an exception, the basics were literally how to swing a sword or how to use mana properly, none of them were able to help him. Feuer doesn''t need to learn about swords at all, in his previous life, he also learned how to use one, as for using mana, it''s a no can do as he isn''t able to use it, sighing, he thought to himself ''I wonder if something interesting will happen... knowing how unlucky I''m, probably nothing will happen...'' The Teacher, of course, saw how bored he was but didn''t say anything, he had seen that look over the week and got to know that Feuer already knew these things, he simply shook his head, thinking how much of a waste it is for someone with such sword talent being unable to cultivate or use magic. The kids formed a group among themselves, the leader of it being the one hailed as the one with the best talent, despite having only seven years old, these kids understood that the Clan Leader son is a waste and as such, they excluded him from their little group. The day where they would spar finally came as the week passed in the blink of an eye, some of the kids, that had less talent, hoped that they could pick Feuer as an opponent, only those with high talent already understood how to already use their mana slightly were confident that they would win. One of these few confident kids is Luar, deemed with the strongest talent over all of them, his talent being towards Magic, the Teacher then announced ''''The first spar of today will be Luar versus Feuer!'''' Luar smirked and felt that it would be an easy win, looking at Feuer, he said ''''You should just give up, a waste like you don''t stand a chance against me!'''' However, Feuer simply held the wooden sword tightly, Luar''s childish face now had a frown as he said ''''If you want to fight, then be prepared to turn into an over toasted bread!'''' Feuer had the urge to laugh but held himself back ''What''s with that comparison?'' he thought to himself while maintaining a stoic expression, something he became pro at, in the Dao of Expressions, he''s God, nodding to himself, he held the wooden sword more tightly. ''''Start!'''' The Teacher gave them permission as Luar raised both hands as a relatively small flame appeared above it, smiling confidently, he said ''''Fireball!'''' as both flames were shot towards Feuer, that simply stood by and as the flames got near him, he slashed with the Wooden Sword. With the Wooden Sword unavailable due to it being burned, Feuer was picked a simple tree branch from the ground and ran towards Luar, that panicked seeing his sudden rush and once again sent two small Fireballs at Feuer direction. Smiling slightly, Feuer simply stepped to the side, Luar''s control over his mana wasn''t good enough to change the direction of the Fireballs so Feuer dodged easily and within seconds, arrived near Luar, that was in a panic and put the tree branch near Luar neck. The Teacher was astonished at how Feuer did it and dodged the Fireballs, most kids would be in a panic after seeing a Fireball coming towards them, they wouldn''t be able to dodge it, coming out of his stupor, the Teacher announced ''''Feuer won!'''' All of the kids were on silence after seeing and hearing this, they despised Feuer for being a waste but the so-called waste won against the kid with the highest talent and also the strongest among them, doesn''t this means that Feuer is stronger than them? Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. A change in their young, childish minds happened as they stopped underestimating Feuer, at least for now, when they''re just starting to cultivate or using magic, Feuer himself knows that the gap between him, a waste, and the kids that are able to do these things is big and will only widen in the future. However, Feuer still didn''t want to be underestimated, even if it''s for a small amount of time, shaking his head, he went away, the Teacher said that after sparring, they were able given permission to go back to their homes and so he did. Feuer was eager to learn about the cultivation realms, mages rankings and about the world itself so after going to his courtyard to change his clothing, he quickly went to the Clan Library and picked a thick, old-looking book named [The World] and went back to his courtyard. The first thing he learned was that the world they''re living at is called [Mortal Zenith]and it has many continents, to be precise, there are exactly six continents and through what he read, Feuer got to know that the first continent is where English people live, in his previous world, they would be either citizens from United States of America or England, it also took many pages describing their appearance. The second continent is where Brazilian and Portuguese people live at, the book doesn''t state exactly if it is Brazilian, Portuguese or whatever other countries, Feuer is just guessing things like that through the book description of the humans living at these continents and also their language, each continent has their own language but there''s also the global language, it is English. The third continent is where Chinese people live at, these three continents are the ones where humans are living and they''re called Enith, Bzith, and Chzith respectively, Feuer felt that the names were relatively funny ''The one that named them must be an idiot, I mean, he really picked the initial letters from England, Brazil, China and then merged with the world name? Such creativity...'' he thought to himself while holding his laughter back. 4 The World 1 Feuer thought that since the world they''re living at is called [Mortal Zenith], then there must be a world called [Saint Zenith] or [Divine Zenith], of course, this is only his guess and as it wasn''t confirmed on the book, he isn''t certain. Turning to the next page, the book started to talk about the last three continents, one of them is called [Dnith] and it belongs to the Demonkin, they have humanoid-like features, what differs them from humans is their unique skin color and horns, they can be either red, green or any other color, most of them having horns on their forehead. Another one is the [Benith], this continent is populated by the Beastkin, this one attracted the attention of Feuer, this world has many magical beasts and though this continent is populated by them, not all magical beasts have advanced intellect, however, the ones with advanced intellect made sure to populate that continent and develop it in a powerful force, Feuer read that there was a war on the past where the beastkin managed to win and claim their own territory, avoiding being slaved by the human race. The sixth and last continent is called [Elnith], this is a continent where the lifeforce is extremely strong due to it belonging to the Elven race, though it belongs to the Elven Race, it has, in fact, many different races and is the biggest continent, having the Dwarfs, Dark Elves, Gnomes, etc... Feuer thought that maybe someday he could visit those continents, this world is extremely interesting and very pleasing to his eyes but soon, he shook his head ''Despite all of these interesting things out there, I can''t explore it, haha, I always dreamt of having a world that isn''t boring but here am I, powerless to do anything...!'' Feuer thought to himself while smiling bitterly, he wasn''t just talentless, even someone without talent could still cultivate or use magic, however, he wasn''t able to do neither of them, he''s, literally, unable to do it. He then turned a few more pages as the topic became about the wars that had in the past, a long time ago, when all continents were only one. After the war ended, another one started, it was named [Two Races War] because it happened between the Demonkin and Beastkin, after the [Scattered War] ended, the Beastkin was left with much less territory compared to the other races and this made them angry, the proud Dragons and Phoenixes put their pride aside and fought for the entire Beastkin for once, this was the era where everyone learned about the terror of the Beastkin for the first time. The era of constant wars was named [Chaotic Era], peace was a subtle thing, something temporary, that couldn''t be maintained for much time, though the Human Race has an overwhelming number, it is also the weakest race, despite that, their greed nature still took over as they repeatedly provoked other races, principally the Demonkin, which they always deemed as evil, something that the church made sure to create roots deep inside the human mind. This, of course, isn''t recorded on the books, this is something that Feuer himself knows because he''s actually very knowledgeable about his own race nature, in his previous world, his parents were rich and had the ownership of an extremely famous enterprise, after their death, the so-called family that never contacted them suddenly came with their greed nature, wanting to take over the business, even though Feuer always thought how boring the world was, he didn''t want his parents enterprise to fall in the greed relatives hands. Though he was living alone in the middle of a forest, he still commanded the business through video calls and made all decisions, as a knowledge-hungry person, Feuer always studied hard and knew how to do things correctly, he still wonders if the business fell in the hands of the greed relatives now that he died, sighing, Feuer shook his head, not wanting to think about it. He''s now in a new, completely different world where all kind of magical, strange things can happen and what was the impossible turned into possible, people can summon the elements through their mana, fly without the use of any kind of technology and destroy mountains with a simple, basic punch, honestly, Feuer wouldn''t be surprised if there''s really a superior world named [Saint Zenith] or [Divine Zenith] where Godly beings actually exist. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Something Feuer remembered is that the word Zenith actually can also mean peak, which also means that the world they''re living at is literally called [Mortal Peak] which in his opinion, is a rather cool name. ''The cultivation realms and mage realms weren''t introduced yet in this book, that is supposed to have a huge amount of knowledge, maybe it is on the next few pages? I hope so, though I won''t be able to cultivate or use magic, having knowledge about it is always good, yup!'' Feuer thought to himself, curious about this world cultivation and mage realms. 5 The World 2 Feuer felt kinda excited to see about this world cultivation and mage realms, with a small smile, he turned to the next page as a vast, broad knowledge started to be devoured by his mind. The cultivations realms are divided like that: Martial Awakening, where you awaken the ability to use mana, this is basically awakening it and then, absorbing more to expand the amount you can use, the next realm is called Martial Body, where you start to temper your body with the mana, it is exactly how the realm name says. Then it comes the Martial Lotus realm, where you need to condense the mana within your body into a lotus, after that, you''ll need to strengthen that lotus to develop more petals, that is the Petals Strengthening realm, after you do that, you''ll need to condense and then compress all of the developed Lotus petals into a sphere, this is the Lotus Core realm. After the Lotus Core realm, it comes to the Tree Roots Realm, its exactly as the names says, within your dantian, you''ll turn the Lotus Core in a tree root, that will turn into a real, developed tree, this is the so-called Life Tree realm, at this realm, the cultivator regeneration will take a huge leap, being strengthened by many times. The eighth cultivation realm is called Tree Pillar Realm, as the name says, you''ll need to turn the Life Tree within your dantian into a huge tree pillar, this takes a really huge amount of energy, aside from accumulating energy, this isn''t really a troublesome realm, according to the book, of course. The last realm is called Martial Rebirth and though it is recorded, there''s no record of someone really achieving it, there are legends saying that once you arrive at this realm, you won''t be a mortal anymore, which is why it is called Martial Rebirth. Then it comes to the Mage Realms, they''re actually similar to the Cultivation Realms, being Spiritual Awakening, Spiritual Manifestation, Spiritual Lotus, Spiritual Petals, Spiritual Core, Spiritual Root, Spiritual Tree, Spiritual Pillar and lastly but not least, Spiritual Rebirth. There are actually little changes, Feuer thought that the creator of the way of cultivating and using magic created the martial way and was just too lazy to think about new mage realms, laughing a bit, he closed the book, there was actually much more content on it but he only absorbed the really important part, in his opinion, time passed very fast and without him knowing, more than a day had passed with him reading on the Clan Library. Though he''s a waste, he''s still the Clan Leader son so he just needed to ask a maid nearby and she would bring him food, approaching a maid, Feuer said with the cutest smile he could put on his face as he said "Um... Hello, can you bring me food?" The maid looked at him and then, said while bowing respectfully "Of course, Young Master!'''' Feuer thought that it was strange for her to be so respectful despite his status as a waste but then, shook his head ''I guess that defeating the dude... what was his name again? Lua, no, it was Luar must have made them have respect for me, since though I''m a waste, I still defeated him, the person with the highest talent towards Magic...'' He thought to himself with a little smile, he never really liked the idea to play low-key when it doesn''t need, if he acts low-key right now, when he can defeat the kids, Feuer will be underestimated and even servants will feel disdain towards him, everyone knows that this is just a temporary gap of strength and that in the future, the kids will surpass him, however, the fact that he defeats Luar, that had barely entered the Spiritual Awakening realm as an ordinary human is something to admire. Feuer then started to look inside his own memories, though he reincarnated and he''s sure that his soul was already there, just, sealed, at the week that passed, he didn''t really try to see his predecessor memories, he could act like that more like an instinct, he is, after all, the new owner of this body, some acts will rarely disappear and he noticed that sometimes, a fake smile will appear on his face when dealing with another person, which is what happened when he met the maid. He understands how the predecessor of this body had to act, as someone that lost his parents ''I know how solitary it is and the amount of sadness a person that lost their father or mother actually feels, the fact that my parents were rich only made things worse, having to greet the greed relatives with a smile every damn time and see how hard they tried to steal his parents business, the business they worked so hard to build...'' For that, he passed countless hours on a mirror, smiling to nothing but himself, trying to create a fake smile that seems real, how solitary the house he lived at was while his parents weren''t there. ''Not to mention all of the pitiful gazes I received, they treated me as if I was someone that needed their sh*tty pity, bunch of hypocrites...'' Feuer thought to himself, remembering the gazes he received from the so-called high society ''Oh, poor boy, lost his parents so early, such a pity!'' This is a sentence Feuer heard constantly and it kept playing every time on his mind, pity is something that he hates because he deems it as an unnecessary thing. ''No one needs your pity, what they need is effort, effort to get over their problems and become a new person, evolve their mentality'' Feuer thought but then, he shook his head, there''s no use thinking about this, after all. Scanning over his own memory, Feuer''s mind seemed to be sucked in by something, his memories. 6 Memories 1 Feuer felt as he was being sucked in by something as an image started to play in front of him, deep inside his consciousness, something he doesn''t have control over, he simply stood in a spiritual, ghost-like form in front of a huge, quadratic image, it has the image of a boy about only one-year-old. The image then started to play like a video, the boy, that only has one year old, seemed to be curious about his surroundings, eager to explore things he has never seen before, showing how intelligent he is compared to his peers, that can only crawl like a baby should, giggling, the boy started to walk as if it was something completely normal, exploring the room that seemed just so big in his view. Soon, the image started to speed up as a woman with extremely beautiful features appeared, her skin fair, beautiful red-colored hair like an ember in the winter and blue-colored eyes that looked like the deep, boundless sky, she looked like a painting that could only be drawn one time and just after, the pen would be thrown away, making her unique and pleasing to the eyes. [A/N: Try to take this lightly, my descriptions aren''t that good yet, haha] With a small, enchanting smile, the woman approached the boy and took him in her embrace ''''Oh, my baby boy, you learned how to walk, you grew up so much already, mommy is proud of you!'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. The woman, that was now identified as the boy mother, said but soon, sighed bitterly as she continued ''''Such pity that mommy wasn''t able to meet you because my sickness attacked again!'''' The boy looked curiously towards the woman in front of him, his extremely childish face now had a somewhat serious expression that looked cute in the woman vision, she couldn''t help but pinch his cheeks, the boy then pouted, it hurt him a bit but felt it was enjoyable so he didn''t express his annoyance. Sighing, the woman put the boy on the ground once again as she sat and then, signaled for him to lay on her lap ''''Mommy is sorry that she couldn''t be with you as you grew to this extent, I couldn''t even see your first steps, your first words...'''' Being careful, the woman put him on the crib in a slow manner, being sure not to wake her son, smiling lightly, she went away and called her husband ''''What''s up, Ayao? Are you okay? Is the sickness attacking again?'''' Heinz asked worriedly in a hurried manner to his wife. Laughing at his worried but funny expression, Ayao shook her head ''''No, I just called you here to see how cute our son is while sleeping, you don''t know what he did, I was sad remembering that I was forced to be away for a year due to my sickness...'''' she said. ''''Dear...!'''' Heinz said and was about to continue but then, Ayao smiled and said ''''Don''t worry, the fun thing is that when I looked sad, our baby boy kissed my hand and looked at me, trying to comfort me, hahaha'''' Seeing that and imagining how funny it actually would be if it were with him, Heinz laughed, removing the cold facade he always put up when he''s dealing with anyone that isn''t his wife or son, looking into his wife''s eyes, he said while laughing ''''Yeah, my dear, I can imagine it, hahaha!'''' Feuer, deep in his consciousness, was watching this, unconsciously, he couldn''t help but smile slightly, in the time these memories were playing, he got to know his mother name and understand a bit of his predecessor ''''So... my family was so happy previously, huh, to think that now my father doesn''t even smile anymore, haha... well, at least now I know that my mother name is Ayao, indeed, a beautiful one, just like she is!'''' He said out loud and thought how mature his predecessor acted despite him being only a year old, Feuer understood a bit about him, just as he thought the memories would stop, a new one started to play, this time the boy was already three years old. The boy got near Ayao, whose complexion was extremely different from the memories he saw, her previous white, fair skin now looked pale and her eyes looked as if they had less life than before, even her hair, previously red as burning fire, now seemed to have lost color as it looked a fire that could be extinguished at any time. Looking at her son, Ayao said, her voice seemingly weak ''''My dear... come near, do you want to hear why you''re named Feuer?'''' The boy that now has three years of age approached his mother and nodded, when he''s with his mother, he prefers to simply nod his head, somehow, they can understand each other even when they don''t use complex sentences to express it, seeing this, Ayao smiled slightly and said ''''You see... it wasn''t me who named you, it was your father, when we met, both of us fell in love at first sight, I loved how he was always protective towards me while he loved my way of being gentle and kind to the people around us, also my hair...'''' Ayao paused before continuing ''''Your father always said how my hair looked like fiery flames that were our burning, continuous love connected by a fire, which is why we named you Feuer, you''re the fire that connects us, our bond!'''' she smiled lightly while embracing her son, that smiled happily. ''I wish our family can stay like that forever, since I''m the fire that connects them, I''ll never allow this fire to be extinguished!'' The boy thought to himself, his way of thinking completely different from what ordinary three-year-old kids could think. 7 Memories 2 The images in front of Feuer''s face flashed as it showed the image of the boy once again, now four years old, was standing in front of a red-colored coffin with dark red patterns, it seemed to be made of crystal as the people around it could see that inside it is laying a beautiful woman, her features would be considered out of the world if it weren''t for her skin now being pale and cold as a dead corpse. The smile that was always on the young boy face disappeared, shattered by seeing his mother, the person whose bond with him was thought to be unbreakable was broke just like that ''Why people have to die...?'' the boy thought as tears fell down his face continuously, no matter how he wiped it out of his face, it kept flowing down. In order to hide his sadness, the boy went to his room and cried all of his sadness out, however, the void that was left in his heart remained there, he couldn''t smile as he did anymore, all the times he tried to smile, he found it awkward, it didn''t seem genuine anymore. The boy, however, understood that just like him, his father was extremely sad and wanted to be strong, make his father proud of him, a way to close the void that was also left in his father''s heart. Just, like his father, the void left in his own heart was boundless, if his father, an adult with vast experience, was sad at that point, how could he, a kid of only four years old, be strong? Despite being maturer than kids at his age, he''s, after all, only a young boy, what he needed now was the comfort of his father, something that never came as his father focused himself on work, from that day on, the young boy didn''t talk anymore, he just focused on trying to make his father proud, it became his only objective in his young, short life. The young boy way of making his father proud would happen only three years later, he wanted to awaken a high talent towards Mage and make his now distant father proud of him, in order to decrease his father worry towards himself, the boy passed countless hours in front of a mirror, perfecting his smile and acting, his previously fake, awkward smile then turned into a fake smile that looked true and genuine after the countless hours he passed practicing. The years then passed as the images speed up, it only stopped ill the young boy became 7 years old, the age where every kid, be it from the Flake Clan or from different clans will see whether their talent is towards Cultivation or Magic, this is the day where the young boy was wanting to come more than anyone. He could already imagine the scene where his father''s cold facade would vanish as a smile would, once again, appear on his face as the void within his father''s heart would disappear and their happy family would return as it were on the old days. The world around him, that was already fading in color, became grey, lifeless, his only objective of life, that was to make his father proud, turned into nothing but ashes as the Clan Elder announced his talent, knowing that not only his father wouldn''t be proud but also that it would bring shame to him and the Clan, his young, childish mind made a decision as he picked the knife and was about to slash his own neck, at that time, Feuer dormant soul awakened. ''So we''re somewhat similar, after all...'' Feuer thought to himself, his only objective of life after both of his parents died was to maintain his life away from the greed relatives and keep his parents business going on till he became old and died, however, the meteor that fell killed him early on and then, he came to this new, different world a week ago. The memories that were of his predecessor then became his as Feuer accepted it, just then, something happened as a figure appeared in front of him. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. The figure was spiritual and just like him, has a ghost-like form, however, Feuer could identify that person figure immediately as he said ''''Mother...?'''' Ignoring what he said, Ayao''s spiritual body approached him and took him in her embrace as she said ''''You grew up to this extent already, my baby boy... it was hard after I died, isn''t it? Mommy is sorry that she left you, there wasn''t a cure to my sickness, I left a trace of my spirit inside your own because I knew that after I died, you would be sad and lose your way, I''m glad that you accepted your past, dear...'''' "You''re already seven years old, huh... Well, which path will you go to? Cultivation or Magic?" Ayao asked, feeling happy that her son accepted his past, however, Feuer shook his head as he said ''''I''m sorry to disappoint you, mother... I''m unable to do any of these two, a waste..." Feuer''s head was down, he didn''t want to see his mother disappointed expression. After hearing this, no trace of disappointment appeared on Ayao face, she simply smiled slightly as she said ''''My dear... you don''t need to worry about this kind of thing, even if you couldn''t walk, talk or do anything, you would never disappoint me, do you know why? Because you''re my son'''' At that point, her spiritual body started to fade, sighing, she continued "It seems my time is up, huh... My dear, I hope you tell your father how much I love him, I couldn''t say that before I died because he was working and my sickness suddenly attacked, I don''t want him to hate himself for that, just be sure to say that to him... don''t forget, you''ll always be my baby boy and mommy will always love you, no matter what!'''' Ayao smiled as her spiritual body disappeared completely, leaving only Feuer as tears fell down, the void on his heart wasn''t filled up yet but indeed, all of the regrets his predecessor had vanished right now, more important, he felt that he was truly a part of this new family of his after that. Laughing while wiping his tears, Feuer thought to himself ''To think that I would cry like a baby... hahaha, his memories now became mine but it didn''t affect my personality, it seems...'' 8 7 Years 1 [Author Note: Hello, my dear readers, I changed the cover, comment your thoughts about it!] Feuer pace was slow but steady as he went to Heinz study room, only now he understood why his predecessor, no, his father was so sad, it turned out that he was thinking it was his fault when his wife sickness attacked and he wasn''t there for her ''He thought it was his fault.'' Feuer thought to himself the obvious after realizing what his mother said. Shaking his head slightly, Feuer knocked on the door that had a visible sign above it saying ''Clan Leader Study Room'' as a male, cold voice said from inside it ''''You may enter...!'''' Pushing the door, Feuer entered the Study Room and greeted his father''s stoic expression as he said while mustering the most serious expression he could, the ones he used while doing business back on his previous life ''''Father, I need to talk with you!'''' Feuer father, Heinz, looked towards his son and thought ''For my son to actually come to talk with me with such serious expression on his face, it must really be important, I wonder what it is...'' and then, he said "What is it?'''' Heinz wanted to be more expressive with his son but the feeling of guilt for not being able to save his son mother, his own wife, it made him unable to properly express himself, despite how he wanted to smile and give a warm hug to his son, he simply couldn''t, the feeling of guilt was holding him back. Then, Feuer looked on his father''s eyes as he said without failing a single word ''''I met with mother again, father...!'''' Heinz almost couldn''t take it, as a Clan Leader, he had to know about things and from his son''s body language, expression and way of talking, he understood that what the young boy was saying is true. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. ''''...'''' The study room was on silence for a few moments before Feuer took the lead and said "I... I was afraid of my past, remembering mother and all moments we passed together as a family, today I accepted the past and then, mother appeared in front of me with a spiritual body, she said it was a trace of spirit she left inside my consciousness to when that happened...'''' His father continued in silence but his stoic expression was slowly changing as he heard his son talking Heinz expression finally changed completely, his stoic expression became a somewhat sad as some tears appeared on his eyes but he wouldn''t allow himself to cry in front of his son, wiping it, he went near Feuer and hugged him while saying "I''m sorry for being such bad father these years, I... I was a coward and couldn''t support you, please forgive this useless father you have!'''' After they separated from each other, Feuer looked towards his father and said with a true, honest smile "Father, you don''t need to worry, I never thought you were a useless father, you''re the only one that cares about me, don''t think that your expression can hide it!'''' To remove the sad atmosphere, Feuer joked at the last part as both of them laughed genuinely before Heinz smacked his son''s head and said ''''Don''t make fun of your father, brat! Also, the Clan cares about you, though you can''t cultivate or use magic, I know that you brat is extremely intelligent, you can become a strategist for the Kingdom army or even the future King advisor in the future!'''' Feuer nodded, he wanted to live ordinarily, however, ordinary in this world means not using magic or cultivating, being the King advisor or the army strategist can also be counted as ordinary since it doesn''t really need to be a cultivator or magician ''''I understand, I heard that the King son, the First Prince, is the same age as me, I just need to befriend him, well, it won''t work if he''s an arrogant prick!'''' He is always collecting information about the Kingdom as it is where he''ll live through his entire life, this is something Feuer also did on his previous world to keep himself with the world information updated, Heinz looked at him and laughed "Hahaha! You''re just like me, the current King is a good friend of mine and wasn''t an arrogant prick and isn''t is, I bet he''ll educate his son properly!'''' Hearing this, Feuer sighed in relief, he know that living ordinarily is his only option, he doesn''t believe that he has protagonist aura like the guys he had read back then on his previous life, if the Crown Prince, which is the First Prince, is an arrogant prick, befriending him is out of league so becoming the army strategist would be his only option, truth to be told, he prefers being the King advisor as the army strategist sometimes need to go to the battlefield, not to fight but to give instructions, he doesn''t want to live dangerously since he doesn''t have the power to protect himself. The duo of father and son talked through the entire day, all they needed was a good conversation ''To think that this only happened due to mother, maybe she knew things would go that way if she died... to think that even after death, mother was prepared and helped us with our reconciliation...'' Feuer thought to himself before going to sleep with a genuine smile, feeling happy that their bond was finally ''''fixed''''. 9 7 Years 2 Since the duo of father and son reconciliation, exactly seven years passed as the young boy grew up to a teenager, already having 14 years old, despite so much time passing, he didn''t awaken the so-called cheat or golden finger, a system or an old grandpa on his soul, all about him remained ordinary except his appearance, having his mother unique fiery, red-colored hair and her beautiful, deep blue-colored eyes. The now teenager Feuer always liked herbs and this kind of thing so he studied about the many kinds of herbs, be it ordinary ones without any kind of spirit or unique ones, having spirit inside it, thus being named ''Spiritual Herbs'', some of them had in his previous life but most of them were completely new for him, different and unique. Despite being ordinary, unable to cultivate or use magic, what Feuer thought that would happen didn''t happen, he wasn''t bullied by his Clan or anything ''So this isn''t a Chinese novel template, huh?'' Feuer joked inwardly but felt relieved, since nothing happened even though he lived on this world for 14 years, it can only mean he doesn''t have a protagonist aura, a system, an old grandpa or an overpowered artifact, it also means that living ordinarily is his only option and by being ordinary, there''s no way for him to avenge himself against bullies. His comprehension talent was always extremely high, as a mere teenager, Feuer was able to manage his parents business easily and even improve it, with that, what for others the questions regarding cultivation or magic was hard, for him it was easy, by doing this, he managed to earn the respect of the younger generation even though he doesn''t have the talent to cultivate or use magic. Some would think that he''s being dumb by helping them with their doubts regarding this kind of thing, however, Feuer thinks it is beneficial for himself because helping his Clan younger generation would make it stronger and he only helped those he knew would be truly grateful towards him, call it a talent of his, being able to see someone nature, though it doesn''t work completely, he can know those that will be grateful or those that won''t. ''I even got myself a best friend whose I thought that would become the worst bully...'' Feuer thought, the person he''s thinking about is Luar, exactly, the one that he defeated on the start and also the one with the highest talent towards magic, initially, he thought that Luar would be the person that instruct lackeys to bully him, however, things went differently. Each realm of Cultivation or Magic is divided into three sub realms: Low, High and Peak, each means something, per example, Low Spiritual Awakening means small control over the element, the remaining two means medium and high control over it respectively. Feuer also discovered a new thing about himself all the time Luar was defeated by him ''I''m sadic and it is different towards each person, if I dislike a person, my sadistic side will be stronger when I hit that person or see that person suffer'' Feuer thought to himself, on the beginning, he thought that Luar had challenged him to bully him so when hitting the battle maniac, he discovered about his sadistic side, though, after learning that Luar was simply wanting to fight and improve himself, he didn''t feel pleasure from seeing him suffering anymore.

Also, mages can improve their body with mana but not to the same extent as cultivators and in the 7 years that passed, Feuer improved his body to the limit an ordinary human can reach, unable to cross the line of having a body equal to someone at Low Martial Awakening realm, however, with his instinct, battle techniques, and experience, he could still beat Luar when he was at Peak Spiritual Awakening realm. The body of a mage at Peak Spiritual Awakening realm is usually at the same level of someone from Low Martial Awakening realm and so on, however, the body of Luar when he was at that realm was comparable to someone at High Martial Awakening realm, Feuer being able to defeat his best friend when he''s just an ordinary human is something to admire. However, his physical strength was limited to what an ordinary human could obtain because when someone enters the Low Martial Awakening realm, they can use mana to improve their attacks, similar to the mages, it is small, medium and high control, however, only over their mana. ''At least I''m not considered a complete weakling and made got myself a true friend, differently from my past life, where I was alone all the time...'' Feuer sighed while thinking about his past life, being once a loner, he values his current friendship, despite Luar being his only friend. Feuer was collecting his herbs, as usual, he liked to collect the ones with good fragrance and use it on his bath, he even collect some with spiritual properties, the so-called Spiritual Herbs and takes them home to plant it and after more grow, sell them and continue the cycle, that way, he can get his own money and leave a good fragrance on his room and body, smiling a bit, he thought to himself ''Today is ordinary as usual, huh, well, nice as usual too'' Looking at the beautiful trees, his smile widened, something that Feuer always liked was to protect nature, he always felt a connection with it and always donated money to help to projects that protect it. 10 Divine Phoenix 1 Looking up, Feuer noticed that it was already dark ''''Well, another day of collecting herbs ending, I guess...'''' he thought out loud with a small smile, despite always being the same thing, every day that passed, he would discover new kind of herbs with different properties, ready to be discovered. Something he learned is that some of them can be mixed and a new, completely different effect will be made, a basic example is that if someone takes a bath with two kinds of Spiritual Herbs: Fire and Ice Herbs, though it can''t be used to improve the realm, it will bring a relaxing effect, usually, it the herbs would have a ''''conflict'''' but when it comes with contact with water, both of them will mix and then, release a light red mist around the person body. The particles inside the light red mist would invade the person body and affect the person''s nerves, and then, bring the relaxing effect ''It''s a very nice combination, as they say, opposites attract each other, this time, literally, haha'' Feuer thought while laughing a bit but soon, his laughter stopped as he saw something, no, someone strange, unfamiliar to him. Feuer instincts were screaming danger as he saw an injured girl, to be precise, a little girl, to be more precise, a loli ''I won''t fall for such low-level illusions... I know you''re a milf on that loli body!'' he thought while remembering a certain meme of his previous life, he''s totally sure that injured loli is actually an older woman. As for why he''s certain... well, that girl has pointed ears, initially, he would think it is an elf if it weren''t for her fiery, red-colored hair and violet-colored eyes, this is a characteristic of a certain mythical beast, he had read back then when the only perfect, humanoid phoenix appeared, it was the factor that decided the ''Two Races War'' victory, it''s said that only when a beast enter the ''Spiritual God'' realm that they can achieve the true, humanoid version of their body. Usually, a beast can take human form when they advance to Tier 3 Beast, they can be either Magical Beasts if they take the path of Magic or Demonic Beasts if they take the path of Cultivation, it basically means that their human form isn''t perfect on that realm, it often takes a characteristic of their original form, for example, a lizard imperfect human form would have green scales on their arms, legs or on their face. He even guessed that his mother was a phoenix due to her hair and eyes but shook his head, it''s impossible for a beast, even if they''re at Spiritual God/Tier 9 realm to make a disguise like that, shaking his head, he approached the loli with success. Feuer thought for a bit, shrugged his shoulders and said ''''Uh, so, you were injured and unconscious so I thought ''Well, why shouldn''t I help an injured person?'' but well, since you''re treating me like this, to think I was so kind, sniff'''' he faked tears as it fell. The phoenix loli voice trembled as she hurriedly moved her hands around the air and said ''''Ah.. ah, please don''t cry, I''m sorry for threatening you!'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Instantly, Feuer tears disappeared as he gave thumbs up ''''No need to worry, miss! Uh, so... how did you get here? This is a forest, don''t you know that is dangerous for a loli like you to enter a forest when it''s almost night?'''' The phoenix loli rolled her eyes and said ''''You don''t really think this, right? I can see through your body language that you already understood that I''m very, I mean, very strong, don''t worry because I won''t attack you, actually... I don''t have much time left, sigh'''' she sighed and smiled bitterly, which was somewhat strange seeing a loli sighing like an old woman. Feuer''s eyes narrowed slightly but then, he shrugged his shoulders, even if she decided to do anything, he can''t resist and he isn''t afraid of dying, he died once and it was, well, very painful. ''''You probably also guessed my race, hm? That makes thing easier, look, enemies attacked me directly on my soul and as second passes, my soul is just getting weaker, once it is extinguished... that means death, it is inevitable, I''ll pass my legacy, my bloodline to you, be grateful and also be sure to avenge me!'''' The phoenix loli said without giving a chance for Feuer to react and put her hand on his head, instantly, he blacked out. The phoenix loli soul invaded his own and started to draw her bloodline out of her body and condense into small, black-silverish threads as it entered Feuer body, instantly, his veins visibly appeared as black-silverish lines, however, a mutation happened as a golden glow appeared on Feuer soul, the loli eyes narrowed dangerously as she backed up, she felt that if she approached it, both body and soul would be extinguished immediately, with a trembling voice, she said ''''W-W-What is that?!'''' The golden glow, however, ignored her as it suddenly expanded through Feuer entire body, the black-silverish veins changed to dark gold with a tinge of white, mixing all three colors in one, the Phoenix loli eyes widened as she thought of a possibility ''''That golden glow... the feeling of powerlessness that even against ''them'' I didn''t feel... his veins turning dark gold, could this be...'''' Her eyes blinked a few times as she thought for a bit before saying in one breath ''''The ancestor of all phoenixes... one of the Five Creator Gods, the Golden Phoenix, the veins turning dark gold mean he has that bloodline that never appeared since the original one, what is this boy body hiding?!'''' 11 Divine Phoenix 2 ''''What''s happening? My head is hurting, damn...'''' Feuer thought out loud before looking around just to see the Phoenix loli looking directly in his eyes with a curious look. The Phoenix loli blinked her eyes a few times and said ''''Boy, what is your body hiding? To think you have one of the Five Creator Gods bloodline and that strange golden glow inside your soul... care to explain?'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Feuer''s head tilted to the side as he said innocently ''''Miss, I don''t get what you''re saying, I can''t even cultivate or use magic, not to mention having that Creator Gods bloodline you''re talking about... as for golden glow in my soul... I have no idea too'''' Frowning, the Phoenix loli shook her head, sighed and then, said ''''Sigh... My life is already coming to an end, I''ll tell you my story, I''m from a higher world called [Divine Zenith], as you know, there''s Dragons, Phoenixes and many different races out there, I''m a Divine Phoenix, a very special one, one that shouldn''t ever be born and every time that special one is born, they''re killed by their own race...'''' She took a breath and continued ''''This happens because once that special one grow up, they tend to lose control, I''m called [Phoenix of Samsara] or [Divine Phoenix of Samsara], we''re special because there''s no one in the world that can control the power of reincarnation; Life and Death elements. I only lived because my parents were the ones commanding the Phoenix race, because it''s impossible for someone to truly understand Life and Death, that special one loses control sometimes and... kills many people'''' ''''When my bloodline passed to you, a mutation happened: A golden glow that came from your soul awakened and forcibly devoured the Phoenix of Samsara bloodline, you must understand that this is the strongest bloodline that ever existed even among all the races, being inferior only to the bloodline of the Five Creator Gods, they''re the Dragon God, Golden Phoenix Goddess, Demon God, Holy God, and Nature God!'''' Then, she explained ''''The Demon God created the Demonkin; The Dragon God and the Golden Phoenix Goddess created the Beastkin; The Holy God created the Angels and Humans and the Nature God created the [Gaia System] and the Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, etc... Together, they created the whole universe and worlds, anyway, the important thing here is that you, a boy from the most desolate area of the [Mortal Zenith] plane, awakened the Golden Phoenix bloodline and it became even stronger after devouring the Phoenix of Samsara 0bloodline, do you know how much of a cheat this is? You even have that dangerous golden glow inside your soul, I can''t even recognize this!'''' The Phoenix loli shouted, feeling frustrated at how unknowledgeable Feuer is. Feuer''s eyes started to shine slightly as he looked around, seeing almost invisible particles around him ''''Is that particles around the so-called Mana that are used to cultivate and use magic?'''' The Phoenix loli facepalmed and then, she said ''''You were really a waste? I really don''t believe... sigh, boy, just know that you''re lucky, the principal reason that no one is able to both cultivate and use magic is because that way, they would be able to eventually obtain the same strength as the Five Creator Gods, meaning they would be able to destroy the universe, originally, the ancient, original races were able to cultivate in both ways, a specific being was able to become so powerful enough to rival one of the Five Creator Gods, feeling that they would eventually be a threat to the universe, the Five Creator Gods destroyed all of the original races and created new ones, almost equal biologically but unable to cultivate or use magic at the same time'''' ''Can''t you simplify the explanation? This is interesting but boring at the same time...!'' Feuer thought but still heard everything that she said with great attention, as some minutes passed, the Phoenix loli complexion was only becoming more and paler as she sat near a tree ''''My time is up, huh... Well... holder of the Golden Phoenix of Samsara bloodline, my successor, I''m not able to directly impart techniques in your soul because I don''t have enough energy, be sure to avenge me against the Witch Race, boy!'''' Feuer''s eyes looked into the Phoenix loli eyes as she disintegrated in front of him, he felt grateful for what she did for him ''Just why was my ability to cultivate or use magic being annulled? How such a simple thing as passing her bloodline to me awakened it? This doesn''t make sense, anyway, to think my cheat or golden finger only appeared after 14 years... I''m grateful but I won''t avenge you till I become strong enough, not sure how much time it''ll take'' He thought for a bit before realizing the obvious. ''Wait, if I have the Golden Phoenix bloodline, it means I can cultivate and use magic at the same time, how overpowered is that? And... she said that the Golden Phoenix bloodline devoured the Samsara Phoenix bloodline, thus improving it, Samsara means reincarnation; Life and Death, it also means that I''ll have control over three elements: Life, that originated the Light element, Death, that originated the Darkness and I also have the Fire element, damn, I''ll be very OP...'' Feuer thought as a small, genuine smile appeared on his face, only he understands how happy he is right now, after 7 years knowing that he would be forced to live ordinarily, he suddenly was told that he can be extraordinary, not only choose between magic or cultivation, Feuer can be both cultivator and magician, his smile widened as he went to his father study room, he knows that talking about his bloodline is a no can do but he already thought of something. 12 Body & Spirit Path 1 Feuer hummed happily while going towards his father study room, he didn''t start to cultivate or use magic yet because he doesn''t have any technique that can help him to do so, however, now that his way to cultivate and use magic isn''t sealed anymore, he just needs to get techniques. In no time, he arrived at his father study room and without knocking on the door, Feuer entered it and saw his father concentrated on some paperwork, then, Heinz looked towards his son, blinked a few times and said with an astonished tone and expression ''''How did your hair turn dark gold? Did you paint it or something? Also... your eyes, it changed from blue to silver!'''' Feuer facepalmed and then, said ''''Father, I have something extremely important but good to talk with you... today, in the forest, I fell on a cliff and there, I found the inheritance of an old senior, there, I discovered that I can cultivate or use magic, the thing is that my ability to do so was sealed!'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Heinz''s expression changed abruptly as his voice trembled slightly ''''My son... did the old senior told you why your ability to cultivate was sealed? Also, how did he unsealed it?'''' Frowning, Feuer looked suspiciously towards his father ''''He unsealed it accidentally when he gave infused his bloodline on my body, it awakened something inside my soul and then, the old senior residual spirit said that he doesn''t know what this thing is but he said it is beneficial to me!'''' ''''I see... I''ll tell you something, what the old senior residual spirit said it''s true, I don''t know what that thing is but I know it is related to your mother, though we fell in love at first sight, I never got to know her true identity, however, I can tell you that your mother wasn''t human like us, my son...!'''' Heinz paused before continuing ''''Your mother was a phoenix, from your face, you are probably thinking that she doesn''t have their characteristics, right? She was special, she gave up her bloodline and powers just to stay with me, however, that made her sick, literally, with time, she couldn''t take anymore and... died when you were four years old'''' He said while sighing sadly, Feuer was astonished, he had guessed that his mother was a phoenix due to her hair, eyes and even skin but gave up because it was similar but not equal. ''''Sigh... you brat, I can never win when you look at me with those expectant eyes'''' And then, Heinz took two scrolls from his bookshelf and gave it to Feuer ''''This is the best Mana Extracting technique of the clan, it has two parts, one for those that want to go on the cultivation path and another for those that want to go on the magic path, you can take it, I have more copies with me'''' Feuer hugged his father and thanked him before hurriedly going to his room, quickly, Feuer opened the scroll that is named [Flake Clan Mana Extracting Technique] and started to read. [Cultivation Path: There are invisible particles of energy that originates from the Heaven and Earth, this is what we call ''Mana'', the Flake Clan is mainly based on Flame element; the cultivators from the Flake Clan doesn''t have elements but their attack is wild like flames, trying to destroy everything in its way, as such, the Mana extracted with this technique is chaotic, wild, however, despite being dangerous, it also gives the cultivator a higher level of strength] This was the content inside the book and under it, there were instructions saying how the person must extract the Mana and guide it through the body. No human is born with Mana, differently from different races like Beastkin, Demonkin, Elves, etc, their body is innately weaker, however, theoretically, their potential is extremely huge, which is why the offspring of someone from different race with humans will have stronger potential and strength than someone from that race, of course, it depends on that offspring bloodline. Also, when a half-human and half whatever other race is born, that person is discriminated or even killed at the same the person is born, however, some races don''t discriminate against half breeds, principally the Elves, though rare, some half-human-half-elf are born from time to time and the race accepts that person. Shaking his head, Feuer started to extract mana the way the technique said, it was surprisingly smooth and it looked like as soon as the chaotic Mana was absorbed permanently in his dantian, it calmed down but still maintained its strong properties, instantly, his cultivation entered Low Martial Awakening, usually, a Phoenix, Dragon or different Noble races would be born with their realm directly on Martial Body or Spiritual Manifestation because their control over Mana and Element is innately high, which is the only objective of the Martial and Spiritual Awakening realm. However, Feuer, due to him being unable to cultivate or use magic for a long amount of time, his innate memories of the Phoenix race were blocked, however, he knows that different from normal humans that have to slowly get their own understanding about how Mana and Elements works, he already has his own because of the many years he researched about it, thus, as long as he trains, Feuer will advance to Martial Body and Spiritual Manifestation realm quickly. Then, Feuer turned to the next page as it said [Spiritual Path: Similar to the cultivation path, this path also uses Mana, however, you need to connect it with your spirit, your soul and get control over elements, you just need to find the elements within your soul and guide it around you] Feuer smiled slightly, he was already familiar with entering his soul and quickly arrived there, this time, however, there were three glows, one of them being black and giving an aura of Destruction, Death, and Darkness, one being white and giving an aura of Creation, Life, and Light. The last of them being golden and having a red glow inside it, that red glow gave a fiery and chaotic aura, however, the golden one gave these two with the addition of an overbearing, noble aura, Feuer felt that he couldn''t pull the golden glow at all, sighing, he pulled the black, white and red glow outside, all of this happened in less than a second. 13 Body & Spirit Path 2 [Author Note: My ultra special thanks to ''teror sohn'' for being my first patron, thanks for that, peace out, girls (or boys) scout!] A fiery, red-colored flame started to spin around Feuer body before a black trace followed it, then, a white glow also followed it, soon, three colors started to spin around Feuer, it was Fire, Darkness and Light elements respectively, they were very small at first but as more time passed, they became bigger, Feuer own understanding of the elements and mana is very good. If he advances his elemental control, not only his mage realm advance but also his cultivation realm because to control the element, you also need the same level of control over mana, the difference is that you need an understanding about your element, something that Feuer has the most, he thought to himself ''According to what the Golden Phoenix of Samsara bloodline is supposed to be, my talent is extremely high, I just need to train the control and it''s done... it''ll probably take less than a month to advance to Peak Martial & Spiritual Awakening...'' Nodding, he started to absorb the Mana around him because the cultivator and mage also need to increase the amount of Mana stored inside their dantian to advance, of course, that''s the easiest part, just as his lost Mana recovered, someone opened the door without caring to knock on ''''My buddy, I''m back! Father sent me to train in the wild, it was very boring, sigh...'''' Feuer facepalmed ''''Don''t you know how to knock on the damn door? This is why that exists, to block someone from entering without my permission, dumbass!'''' The person that just entered is Luar, he''s a bit shorter than Feuer, has black-colored hair and eyes, most girls think he''s very good looking, a bit confused, he said ''''Uh... my buddy, what the f*ck happened with your hair? Did your puberty hit you hard and you decided to revolt by painting it?'''' Feeling speechless, Feuer simply stared at Luar for a few seconds before saying ''''No, I didn''t, it''s because something happened, you won''t believe me but I discovered recently that my ability to cultivate or use magic was sealed, haha, I can cultivate or use magic now, Luar!'''' The expression of Luar was confused for a bit before he suddenly understood, with a face full of disgust, he said ''''Ew, even if I swung that way, it wouldn''t be with you, my taste wouldn''t be that bad!'''' Feuer and Luar stared at each other for a few seconds before both of them laughed, Luar then extended his hand ''''Congratulations, buddy, so, which path will you take? Cultivation or Magic? I can help you if you become a magician like me!'''' while putting his nose up. ''''Did you forgot who helped you to understand more about your element, brat? I''ll become a magician too!'''' Feuer joked while smiling smugly, feeling offended, Luar started to run as he took out a mace from his bag, instantly, Feuer started to run away. ''''Come back here, bastard!'''' Luar yelled but couldn''t catch Feuer at all, the latter laughed loudly before speeding up, Luar felt frustrated ''''How is he so fast? Damn, man!'''' he said before going to his room, he was, nonetheless, still happy that his buddy can finally become a magician like him. Feuer, however, had already run towards the forest and is currently going in the direction of a cave he always goes when he just wants to be alone, cultivating and using magic requires concentration, which is why he went to that cave, he had already said to his father that he''ll pass the month inside that cave, initially, Heinz blocked him from going but gave up under the expectant gaze of his son. Smiling slightly, Feuer instantly summoned his elements as a fiery, red-colored flame flew around him, followed by a dark mist and a white light respectively, he''ll train by shaping the elements, which requires two important things: High control over Mana and understanding about the element itself. He started by doing a simple thing, a small ball made of fire, it was kinda smooth for him to do it so he started to make a bigger one, however, after it became the size of half ahead, it dispersed in the air, his control was unstable, which resulted in the Fireball dispersing. However, his control over his Mana and Element improved slightly ''It isn''t hard, why the hell Luar took so much time on Spiritual Awakening realm?'' He wondered inside his mind, Feuer forgot the fact that different from him, whose knowledge about elements and those things is extremely higher compared to an ancient era like the one he''s living, which make understanding about cultivation and magic harder, not to mention all novels he read back then, it also helped. ''It will take even less than what I expected... probably three weeks according to this speed, I heard that the Aurora Academy will be accepting new students in a month and a half, maybe I can advance to Martial Body and Spiritual Manifestation before it happens...'' Feuer then remembered about something, the Teacher back then, which was seven years ago, said that those that awaken the ability to use Mana have a system called [Gaia System], if I''m not wrong, it shows the person name, age, cultivation or mage realm, something like that...'' Smiling slightly, Feuer said in his mind ''System!'' As a blue screen appeared inside his consciousness. [Gaia System available, what do you need, master?] A genderless voice said inside Feuer''s head ''I didn''t know it had its own consciousness...'' he thought to himself before saying in his mind "Uh, why do you have a voice?'''' The Gaia System voice then said with its genderless, mechanical voice [I''m not sure, from the analysis made, it was a mutation inside your soul that caused it, my functions remain the same, though, you just need to say ''Status'', master...!] Feuer nodded, while having a leveling system like the novels he had read back then, having a normal system that simply shows him his status is better in his opinion. Those leveling systems would remove the exciting part of becoming strong by himself, nodding to himself, Feuer said in his mind ''''Status!'''' 14 Aurora Academy 1 [Name: Feuer Flake] [Race: Half-Human-Half-Phoenix] [Age: 14 Years Old] [Bloodline: Golden Phoenix (Mutated, 100% Purity)] [Cultivation Realm: Low Martial Awakening] [Mage Realm: Low Spiritual Awakening] [Elements: Fire, Darkness, Light] ''So the [Gaia System] couldn''t identify my bloodline mutation, death and life elements? It''s obviously impossible that it doesn''t know the Phoenix of Samsara bloodline because it can even identify the Golden Phoenix bloodline, maybe it just doesn''t know that it devoured the loli bloodline?'' Feuer thought to himself, if he doesn''t ''say'' his thoughts, the [Gaia System] can''t hear it. Then, he said in his consciousness ''''Uh, Gaia System, can you modify my race to Human and hide my bloodline to be of a normal Phoenix? Even a normal one would bring attention but Golden Phoenix is unheard in the [Mortal Zenith] world, I think only those at [Saint Zenith] or [Divine Zenith] knows about it, anyway, can you modify, also, hide the fact that I can cultivate, I''ll show up just like a mage with a stronger body!'''' [As you wish, master. Modifying is completely possible] The Gaia System said with its genderless, mechanical voice as Feuer sighed in relief, there''s something called [Status Stone] and it is exactly as it says, it can show the person status, it would bring him problems if someone saw his true race and bloodline, not to mention the fact that he can cultivate and use magic at the same time. Shaking his head, Feuer thought to himself ''It''s good that my system mutated, I wonder if I can implement new functions like information gathering, this would be very useful... anyway, I need to concentrate in improving my power, even if I can''t advance to Spiritual Manifestation and Martial Body realm, I''m still more than qualified of entering the Aurora Academy, hn, now, I need to concentrate and start to train!'' Meanwhile, on Heinz study room, a man with brown-colored, blue-colored eyes and handsome features stood by as he said to Heinz while smiling widely ''''My old friend, I was so occupied that I couldn''t come here sooner, I received your letter saying that your son inability to cultivate or use magic was solved, I''m here to congratulate you, so, where''s Feuer? It has been some time since I saw him!'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. ''''Indeed... My Royal Father forced me to become the King after he passed away due to sudden sickness, and you, due to your father not letting you become an adventurer, was forced to become the Clan Leader, I''ll be sure to let my sons choose whether they want to live on the Kingdom forever or become adventurers...'''' The brown-haired man, now identified as the ''Auroria Kingdom'' King, said as he also sighed, both of them had regrets. ''''So, Ale, the First Prince, will also enter the Aurora Academy?'''' Heinz asked curiously to his friend, though Ale is now the King, he still treat him like he did back then when they were on the Academy. Ale looked on his old friend son and nodded ''''Yeah, that brat is very excited to enter the Academy, he said that he wants to become an Adventurer, you know Alex, right? Always wanting to know about the world and these things, my second son also supports Alex dream and said that he''ll succeed my throne, I''m happy that my family isn''t like different Kingdoms where there''s all kind of conflicts over brothers...'''' Heinz nodded, he understand how bad the conflict between Royalty can be, he heard about one that happened on a nearby Kingdom, it ruined it completely ''''My son will also enter, I hope they can become good friends, he''s always mumbling on how good it would be if he could cultivate or use magic to become an adventurer, now that he can do it, he''ll surely become one, that brat Luar too, they became best friends over the years, I originally would give the Clan Leader position to Luar but unfortunately, it seems like he''s also going to become adventurer...'''' Laughing, Ale said before vanishing from the spot ''''Too bad, old friend, it seems you''ll need to find another person of your clan, well, I need to go, be sure to find someone to you, I bet your son wouldn''t mind if you find someone fit to yourself, that brat is open-minded!'''' Heinz was now in deep thoughts as he nodded, with Feuer becoming an adventurer in not so much time, he''ll need someone to stay with him, sometimes, he feels alone, besides, he''s sure that his son would understand. A month was quickly passing by as inside a cave, a certain someone opened his eyes, a young teen with dark golden-colored hair and beautiful silver-colored eyes, he has very handsome features and despite not being a man yet, many would fall over his looks. Without even doing anything, three elements appeared around him and floated around ''When I advanced to High Spiritual & Martial Awakening, I could create a Fireball, Dark Ball or Light Ball and shape these three elements in many forms, however, at a certain size, my control would be unstable but I was barely able to control, though I wasn''t able to breakthrough Spiritual Manifestation and Martial Body, I''m at the peak of Spiritual & Martial Awakening...'' Feuer thought to himself before saying ''''Status!'''' [Name: Feuer Flake] [Age: 14 Years Old] [Race: Human] [Bloodline: Fire Phoenix (100% Purity)] [Mage Realm: Peak Spiritual Awakening] [Elements: Fire, Darkness, Light] [Mana & Element Control: High] ''Nice, it''s hiding even from me, the evolved Gaia System is such good thing, anyway, Aurora Academy recruitment will happen in a few days, I must go...'' Feuer thought to himself before vanishing from the spot, his speed was on another level compared to before, his normal speed now is 50 meters per second and with full speed, it is 100 meters per second, a feat that someone from Spiritual or Martial Awakening can''t accomplish at all! 15 Aurora Academy 2 Feuer speed was something that even if someone could cultivate and use magic at the same time, they wouldn''t be able to have his speed, of course, considering they''re at the same realm and sub realm as him, usually, only someone on High Martial Body and someone with Lightning or Light element at High Spiritual Manifestation would have that speed. Lightning and Light elements, when used properly, can give an incredible speed boost, even using the magic known as [Acceleration] would give a speed boost, not to the same extent as Lightning and Light elements, though. The Light element is an extremely versatile one because it can help with hiding when it isn''t night, heal and improve someone speed or attack, however, it depends on someone understanding and control over it, Feuer made sure to learn how to improve his speed and attack with the Light element. Feuer learned three magics named [Light Pistol], [Light Beam] and [Light Acceleration] respectively, the first one it''s actually simple, he simply do a pistol gesture with his hands and through the tip of his finger, he shoot a line made of Light element with a high amount of speed. The second one is [Light Beam] he made this one based on a famous superhero of his previous life that used an armor, through the center of his palms, he condenses a sphere made of Light element and shoot it, he can also use a version of it with Fire element, both of them can also help him fly, of course, given that he has enough mana. Last but not least, [Light Acceleration] is based on the simple magic named [Acceleration], just, he imbued it with Light element thus improving the speed of it, this is just three of the many magics he learned, having many cards on his deck is always good. With each step that Feuer did, a small beam of light would appear behind his feet, this is the application of the combined [Light Beam] and [Light Acceleration], firstly he condenses Light element on his feet and make small spheres under it and then, uses it to propel himself forward.

As soon as he entered the room, a figure appeared in front of him and punched, his instincts kicked in time but he couldn''t dodge, Feuer reaction was enough but his body wasn''t as he was sent flying for a few meters, then, the figure appeared once again in front of him but this time, the figure hugged him and said ''''I missed you, my son!'''' Feuer mumbled in annoyance ''''I noticed how much you missed me by your punch, damn..'''' but then, the figure which is obviously his father, raised his fist again as Feuer quickly said ''''Oh, father, I missed you too, I thought I was going to die for missing you, ah, I never thought it was so sad to be far from you!'''' ''''Brat, you''re just as shameless as I''m, hahaha! I also missed you, why don''t you show me your progress? I expect you to have advanced to High Spiritual Awakening, right? You probably inherited your mother''s talent, hn!'''' Heinz nodded and said, he knew how talented his wife was by the stories she told to him. The dark golden-colored teenager put his head down as he said with a sad tone ''''Father, I''m sorry to disappoint you... unfortunately I wasn''t able to advance to High Spiritual Awakening,...'''' Heinz didn''t felt disappointed but went to comfort his son, before he could do so, Feuer raised his head smiling widely ''''I advanced to Peak Spiritual Awakening, hahaha, gotcha!'''' ''''Oh... I see that you also inherited your mother teasing abilities, huh?'''' Heinz said and raised his fist, all Feuer could do was yell ''''F*ck!'''' before being sent flying for a few meters away and then, standing up with a big bump on his head. Before Feuer could complain, Heinz said as his expression changed, completely serious ''''...I have something to talk with you, son.'''' Tilting his head to the side slightly, Feuer simply stood by while waiting for what his father has to say ''''You''re just like Ayao, even that habit of tilting the head to the side when you''re confused, sigh... My son, you know how alone we felt after losing your mother, right...?'''' Feuer expression solidified, he understood what his father meant, he was, after all, a loner on his previous life, some times, all he wanted was someone that could be his companion for his entire life, alas, he was always an introvert. ''''From your expression, you understand what I mean, hn... My son, I know that someday, given your talent, it won''t take much time, maybe less than a year before you leave the Kingdom to become an adventurer, so... I felt that I needed to move on and experience love again!'''' Heinz said, he felt that hiding this from his son was unfair, he already hid from his son due to his guilt for many years, he doesn''t want that to happen again. Smiling slightly, Feuer shook his head ''''Father, you don''t need to do such drama, though I would take some time to adapt, I know that you would feel lonely when I leave the Kingdom, anyways, I always wanted a younger brother or sister, work hard, young man!'''' he said while joking at the last part, before his father could react as he entered deep thought, Feuer vanished as a ray of Light was all left by him. Heinz stood by and thought about what his son said before tearing up and saying ''''To think that my son is such an understandable person, I''m so proud!'''' it seems that in the end, Heinz is just a softie that loves his son more than anything in the world. 16 Aurora Academy 3 Feuer, however, was behind the door and almost laughed loudly hearing his father, what he just said it''s true, what he wants the most is his father''s happiness, this is how life is, or you go on or you''ll stay at the same place forever. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. ''I knew he was a softie but not to that level, hahaha'' Feuer thought while laughing after already being far away from Heinz study room, he wanted to challenge Luar to see how his current strength is, through his estimates, he is guessing it is about the same as his best friend or a bit higher. Quickly, Feuer arrived in front Luar''s room without anyone interrupting him and knocked on the door ''Different from him, I''m a civilized person, hn!'' he thought while nodding to himself, his best friend opened the room without caring about who was and said after seeing Feuer ''''Oh, it''s you! So, what do you want this humble friend of yours to do after a month ignoring me? Hm?'''' Luar said as he questioned threateningly. ''''Are you an idiot?'''' Feuer said without hesitating before continuing ''''I didn''t ignore you, I remember leaving a letter saying that I would stay the past month on the Forest to train!'''' Luar facepalmed and then, he said ''''Ah, it was that letter, I thought it was some paper I had left on the table after failing to draw a beautiful flame, I felt irritated and burned it to ashes, sorry, haha!'''' ''''There''s no ''haha'' with me, so, I''m very powerful now, wanna fight to see who is stronger now? We can finally spar without caring to hold back...!'''' Feuer said while smiling widely, that smile looked extremely dangerous to Luar that remembered all the times he defeated Feuer when the latter couldn''t cultivate, it was him getting revenge of when he was defeated by his best friend. Just then, Luar thought of something and smiled before saying ''''Don''t you know that one of the Aurora Academy tests will be through a small tournament? It''ll be the last test, you were on that Forest isolated for a month so you probably don''t know but they announced which tests it''ll be!'''' Feuer smiled slightly ''''Oh... that is interesting, I wonder if there''ll be more than one commoner that''ll be able to become a student of the Aurora Academy this time, from what I researched, last year, only one managed to do it...'''' ''''Sigh... True, I always hear my father saying that he''s making some project to help to increase the commoner''s knowledge about cultivation and magic with Uncle Heinz, however, he said that this isn''t something that only our Clan can change, we''re not the only Noble Clan of the Kingdom, there''s also the Nero, Lyn and Vind Clan, Uncle Heinz and father didn''t manage to obtain their support, they don''t want to share their knowledge at all'''' Luar said while sighing. ''That''s true... The Auroria Kingdom is on the borders of the Enith continent, kinda isolated, the knowledge about magic and cultivations that the commoners hold isn''t much at all...'' Feuer thought and also sighed, generally, only when a commoner become an adventurer and go to another Kingdom that isn''t that isolated that they''re able to obtain a higher amount of knowledge, also, the commoners that enter the Aurora Academy usually get stronger quickly. This happens because their knowledge was previously limited, after they enter the Academy, brand new knowledge is available which will help them tremendously, increasing their knowledge about Mana or their Elements thus advancing their realm. Feuer nodded to himself and decided to spar with Luar on that tournament, he''s sure that his best friend will be one of the first 20 to pass on the Illusion Test, which also mean he''s going to be recruited by the Aurora Academy ''I''m also curious about that Academy, it''s the only one in the Kingdom and it''s not the Royal Family who manages it. He went to talk with his father, it''s not like he has anything to do and advancing to Spiritual Manifestation and Martial Body realm is a no can do in the few days he has left ''Actually, I can train a few things like a magic named Dark Sphere, well, based on it'' Feuer thought to himself. The Dark Sphere he''s talking about is different because, in essence, it is the same but the insides aren''t, basically, he''s going to make a normal Dark Sphere but make its insides chaotic and as it touches something or explode, the chaotic inside will attack everything around it with small needles made of Darkness element, though Feuer can''t use it on the small tournament because it''s dangerous, having a new, good card added to his ''''deck'''' is always good. Midst on the way to Heinz study room, Feuer decided not to and simply went to his room, looking to the sky, he noticed it''s already night and so, decided to sleep, believe it or not, both his body and spirit needs to rest after a month training without resting at all, like that, a few days passed as the Aurora Academy recruitment is finally starting. Feuer took a bath with the Fire & Ice Spiritual Herbs to make it relaxing and then, changed his clothes before going to the center of the Kingdom, where the recruitment will take place, his father also said that he would meet him when Feuer arrives, smiling slightly, he sped up. 17 Aurora Academy 4 Feuer arrived on the center of the Kingdom rather quickly, as the Kingdom is on the border and in a relatively isolated part of the [Enith] continent, it is very small compared to most Kingdoms, arriving there, the first thing he noticed was the beautiful building of the Aurora Academy, it looked majestic, magnificent. ''''A masterpiece...'''' Feuer muttered while looking at the building but then, quickly entered it through the open gate, it was open to anyone that is from 14 to 16 years old, which is the prime age to start cultivating or becoming a magician, despite what was said on the Flake Clan Mana Extracting Technique, ''''pulling'''' out the elements aren''t that easy. One needs to have a clear, very clear image to do so, for example, even after 7 years, Luar can''t pull the elements without chanting it to get a better image, however, Feuer doesn''t need to chant it, the truth is that without Feuer help, Luar wouldn''t be able to use simple chants like simply saying [Fire Spear], generally, one would need to say a complete spell [Elements within my body, obey me and be my Spear - Fire Spear] The same goes to those that use mana, anyway, Feuer entered the place where they''ll be tested and looked around, searching for his father, however, it was too crowded so he couldn''t see the spectators at all, there were many commoners but also many nobles here, more than a hundred youngsters concentrated in one place isn''t a small amount at all. An hour passed and Feuer was becoming impatient, he hates to wait for such things and the number of youngsters was increasing by every minute that passed, however, it seems his boredom is ending soon as a group of youngsters approached him, the one that seems to be their leader is at Peak Spiritual Awakening while the rest are at High Martial Awakening, basically, none of them is a match to Feuer, even if they fought together. ''Call it arrogance or stupidity but I''m 100% sure that I''m invincible at Peak Martial & Spiritual Awakening, they don''t seem friendly, though, ah, it reminds me of the time someone tried to bully me, poor boy...'' Feuer thought as a smile appeared on his face. The one that seems to be the leader stopped in front of Feuer and said ''''I heard that the son of the esteemed Heinz Flake was a waste, to think you dared to enter the Aurora Academy, don''t you have shame?'''' The crowd of youngsters gave a bit of space as some of them muttered between themselves ''''This is Tsan Vind, the Young Leader of the Vind Clan, I heard that they had some trouble with the Flake Clan recently, I heard that the son of Flake Clan Leader is a waste, a pity that he was dragged in the trouble...'''' someone muttered and shook his head. Feuer channeled Light element on his feet as he thought ''I''m not a wuxia character to talk before fighting, if you want to do trouble, be prepared to lose your fertility...'' ''''It seems that y-'''' Before Tsan Vind could finish what he was saying, he felt severe pain and a cracking sound as he looked down, he saw blood flowing from where it was his little brother ''''B-B-Bastard...'''' was all he said before being unconscious. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. The remaining youngsters at the group were going to fight but then, they saw Feuer saying with an innocent smile that looked like the one from a Demon ''''Do you want to end like him?'''' he said before going away, the crowd opened a path to him as the males held their crotch and felt the pain that Tsan Vind felt while looking fearfully towards Feuer, that hummed happily as he sat on a chair nearby. Everyone started to talk about it as a certain someone from the Lyn Clan thought ''Our clan must ally with the Flake Clan... Heinz son defeated the Young Leader of the Vind Clan, this can only mean that their status will once again change, I can''t provoke him...'' That person is the Lyn Clan Young Leader, he had the urge to provoke Feuer before but held because he felt something amiss, now he knows and understood that going against him won''t do any good, nodding to himself, he hid within the crowd as one of the Aurora Academy Instructors suddenly appeared as he created an Earth Pillar and stood above it as he said ''''Welcome, young cultivators and magicians, I won''t beat around the bush, as most already know, there''ll be two tests: One will test your cultivation or mage realm through the ''''Status Stone'''' and the second will be an Illusion Test, the first 20 to leave it will become students of the Aurora Academy!'''' Then, he explained about the optional tournament, everyone was hyped except Feuer and youngsters from the Noble Clans that already knew about these things. ''''Gaia, can you analyze the properties of the Status Stone and understand the essence of how it works so that you can absorb this ability and get it so that I can see another person status any time?'''' Feuer said in his consciousness as the [Gaia System] replied [Yes, master, all I need is direct contact with it but I''ll be unable to talk with you for a time as I''ll be occupied analyzing it and then, absorbing that ability] Feuer nodded as he waited, a few minutes passed as the number of youngsters were decreasing, they went to another area and stood to wait for everyone to be tested and then, do the next test, of course, these were the ones that passed, around half of them were disqualified on the first test, leaving a little more than 50 youngsters. Feuer was finally called, before going, he said in his consciousness ''''Change my Phoenix bloodline to Human temporarily, after my Status is checked, you can change it back to Fire Phoenix'''' he said as the [Gaia System] complied. ''''You''re Heinz son, huh? I remember the day he came to be tested, ah, those were good days, he was a good student, well, let''s see your status!'''' The one that said this was an old Instructor as Feuer nodded and put his hand on the Status Stone. The old Instructor nodded and said ''''You''re just like him, so young but already at Peak Spiritual Awakening and affinity to Three Elements, such talent, as they say... the new will always surpass the old!'''' ''Old man, can you stop talking and just let me pass?'' Feuer thought but maintained a stoic expression as he nodded, soon, he went to the next stage, apparently, his group was the last one, the Instructor then said ''''You all will need to sit in lotus position on that Arena, we''ll launch the Illusion once everyone sits!'''' He said as all remaining youngsters sat in lotus position, Feuer included, they stood with open eyes before the Illusion was launched, simultaneously, every youngster eyes closed as the Instructor cast the Illusion! 18 Aurora Academy 5 Feuer included, as soon as his eyes closed, a white mist invaded his son as images started to play, he looked around ''How is it possible that I''m back on 21st Century? Was it all a dream?'' The illusion kept confusing his memory as he saw his parents, Feuer''s mother said ''''What are you daydreaming, Alex? The movie is starting, you were so excited to see it, right?'''' Feuer smiled before he said ''''Of course!'''' as he started to pay close attention, in a mere instant, he forgot all 14 years he passed on the [Mortal Zenith] world, the movie passed quickly in his eyes as his father approached him ''''Champs, the movie was good! I thought it wouldn''t be good because I don''t like superhero movies but this was extremely good, the actors too, unfortunately, it''s time to go home, let''s go!'''' His father said while smiling lightly before taking his wife and son''s hand, the three of them went to the car, however, someone interrupted them. ''''Pass all the money and valuable things in your body to me, this isn''t a joke, if you don''t give it to me, I''ll shoot!'''' A bandit announced the robbery as he pointed a gun towards Feuer, that stood there, paralyzed, this is the first time someone pointed a gun to him. Feuer''s father gave the money and all valuable things as he said ''''Ok, just leave us alone, ok?'''' and thought ''If that means keeping my son safe, I would give all that I have, be it money, jewelry or business!'' However, just as he gave it to the bandit, the bandit shoot two times in succession, killing both Feuer father and mother before running away, all that Feuer did was look down as he saw his parent''s dead body as blood kept flowing from their body, a gory scene was left around their body and some of the blood spilled on his face ''''AAAAH!'''' Feuer screamed as tears flew down his face after seeing his parent''s dead body. The image of his parents dying passed on his mind continuously before a crack appeared as a golden glow engulfed everything and turned it to nothing as Feuer opened his eyes, his face completely stoic ''''It wasn''t a dream, huh? I still feel regret, not being able to kill the bastard that killed you, father, mother...'''' he said, somehow, he could control his own emotions right now despite the sadness on his heart. ''''So... how much time passed since I was put on that Illusion, Instructors?'''' Feuer said as he looked towards the old Instructor and the Instructors around, all of them had their mouth wide open as they rubbed their eyes continuously. ''They have mental problems, don''t they?'' Feuer thought as he facepalmed before the old Instructor said ''''To think that you broke the record of 10 seconds.... boy, do you realize what you just did? The illusion we used is called [Continuous Nightmare Illusion], it makes someone face their worst fear continuously, the record of someone breaking it is 10 seconds, no one broke it faster than that, you broke that record because you got out of the illusion instantly!'''' Feuer felt confused ''Well? It passed like three hours for me, maybe the time flows differently for someone inside the illusion?'' he thought as another Instructor smiled slightly ''''You seem confused, it''s easy, the time inside the Illusion pass different from those outside it!'''' ''''I see... if it isn''t rude, who was the one that launched the illusion?'''' Feuer asked innocently as an Instructor replied ''''Perhaps, are you interested in illusions? Well, the one that launched it was Dean Ben!'''' ''''Oh, it was him, huh... Well, I''m not really interested, I was just curious, so, how much time it usually takes before all 20 get out of the illusion?'''' Feuer said as a cold glint appeared on his eyes before it returned to normal, on the Dean Room, a certain person felt shivers and thought ''Maybe there''s someone thinking bad things behind my back?'' Dozens of seconds passed as some youngsters woke up and looked around before clenching their fists as they felt happy for passing, a minute passed as the remaining to complete 20 woke up, Luar being included in those, looking around, he spotted Feuer and went near him ''''So you passed, that''s nice, buddy! Well, which ranking were you?'''' Feuer smirked and said ''''I was, of course, the first to wake up, anyway, what was your illusion?'''' Luar felt embarrassed as he said ''''...It was of a giant mosquito trying to bite me, you know, right? I''m terrified of mosquitos, and yours?'''' ''''It kept playing the image of my mother on the coffin'''' Feuer said without caring much but Luar patted his shoulder ''''No need to worry, as I said, I broke it instantly'''' he lied, it''s not like he''ll go around saying ''Oh, I''m from another world and I saw the death of my past life parents playing continuously!'' because it is plain stupid. The Instructor coughed to get the attention of the 20 youngsters and said ''''As you know, we''ll be holding an optional tournament to decide the Top 10, if you don''t want, you can leave, it won''t change the fact that you''re now an Aurora Academy student!'''' This time, four commoners passed the recruitment which is a shocking thing, however, they knew that they''re no match for the 16 youngsters of Noble birth that passed it so they decided not to join, then, the Instructor lifted the Illusion, surprisingly, no one complained of not passing, it made Feuer think ''Did they knocked someone out and threw them without clothing out when they complained or something?'' Little did he knew his guess couldn''t be surer, the Instructor then said ''''There''ll be eight fights simultaneously to make things quicker'''' as he clapped his hands and seven more arenas appeared side to side. Feuer first fight was against a youngster from the Vind Clan, knowing that they''re already in trouble, he decided to spice things up as before the youngster could give up, he quickly appeared beside the youngster his crotch, this made his next two opponents give up even before fighting, they knew they were no match and also that they don''t want to lose their fertility. The Top 10 was practically decided as things went smoothly for both Luar and Feuer, they were about to face each other as Luar said ''''We''re going to fight again, buddy, be careful not to get hurt, haha!'''' Feuer didn''t say anything, he isn''t the kind of person that talks while fighting because he puts complete concentration on it, he just smiled widely as the fight started.

Join my discord server: https://discord.gg/BXjxEbx or simply use the code BXjxEbx to join!] Feuer said in a calm tone ''''Fire Spear'''' as he commanded his Fire element to form a beautiful fiery, red-colored spear that pointed towards Luar, the Instructors mouth opened wide once again as one of them said ''''A peak Tier 1 magic? That''s incredible, he shaped his element in a spear, this is incredibly near the level of Spiritual Manifestation, he''s probably near the last step to advance!'''' However, what came next shocked them even more as they simply stared in silence as Luar said ''''Elemental Spirit within my body, condense - Multiple Fire Spears!'''' as five spears made of Fire condensed, this wasn''t what shocked them, what shocked them was the chant. Spiritual Manifestation realm, to enter that realm, one needs to awaken an Elemental Spirit, this is similar to what Feuer read back then on some novels ''Similar to a Martial Spirit...'' he thought to himself, this is one of the reasons many are unable to advance towards Spiritual Manifestation realm, not everyone can awaken an Elemental Spirit. ''His Elemental Spirit is something that can condense in anything with its own conscience, just needing to receive the orders, I see...'' Feuer quickly analyzed before commanding the Darkness Element as he snapped his fingers ''''Dark Wall'''' He said as a wall made of Darkness appeared, blocking two of the Fire Spears while the remaining three rushed towards him, he raised his hand slightly and created a Light Sword to block one of them while his own Fire Spear blocked another one, as for the remaining one that was coming towards Feuer, he thought ''Acceleration'' as his speed suddenly increased and he easily dodged it, that hit the Magic Barrier cast to avoiding damaging the spectators, that were watching with excitement showing in their eyes. Luar also cast Acceleration on himself and ran towards Feuer as he said ''''Elemental Spirit, protect me and aid my attack - Fire Gloves!'''' ''Interesting'' Feuer thought as he raised his hand and condensed a small sphere on the center of his palm before aiming it at Luar, that noticed the danger and quickly said ''''Fireball!'''' as a Fireball the size of two heads was condensed. Feuer smirked before saying ''''Light Beam!'''' as it shot forward on the direction of the Fireball, that was pierced and then, dispersed, however, it managed to block some of the Light Beam power, that Luar then easily blocked by punching it with his fists covered by a fiery Glove. ''''Is that all you have, buddy?'''' Luar said and also smirked, he mocked Feuer as an attempt to break the latter spirit and have an easy win, alas, that doesn''t work on him. Suddenly, Feuer disappeared from his position and appeared behind Luar as he condensed a short, fiery sword and put it near Luar neck ''''This time, it''s my win!'''' he said. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Luar trembled after seeing the short sword made of Fire near his neck as he thought ''I could see him but my body couldn''t react, despite seeing him, I couldn''t even move in time!'' before he smiled bitterly ''''To think that after only a month you managed to get stronger than what I became after 7 years, your talent is truly terrifying, buddy, well, I admit defeat!'''' He said as Feuer victory was announced ''''The new students strongest rookie is Feuer Flake!'''' one of the Instructors said as the crowd roared and a certain someone thought while tearing up ''Ooooh! To think that my son became the newly recruited student''s strongest rookie, I''m so proud, at that time, I lost to Ale and ended up as the 2nd place, now that I think about it, where''s his son, Alex?'' he thought before remembering what Ale said to him ''''Alex said that joining the normal recruitment would be a bother and the current Dean owes me a favor so he let Alex join through a recommendation letter'''' Ale, the current King, said as he smiled slightly before adding ''''I also heard that the Lyn Young Leader also joined through a recommendation letter, the Dean said that he''s quite smart and talented so he made an exception this year...'''' Back to the actual time, Heinz thought as pity showed on his face ''I also heard that the brat from the Vind Clan, what''s his name again... I forgot, anyway, I heard that he tried to make trouble with my son and ended up losing his fertility, we may be enemies currently but poor boy... may his future descendants rest in peace, oh, he can''t have one, hahaha'' Heinz laughed at his own joke before shaking his head, meanwhile, the old Instructor gathered the 20 youngsters that passed through the normal recruitment and said ''''The Academy will return to its normal operation in a week, where the lessons will start again, the uniform will be delivered in your home within that week, as for the material... all you''ll need is an ink and paper to note the content of the lessons!'''' Feuer nodded along with Luar and the remaining 18 youngsters as they left at the same time, their parents were in front of the Academy entrance waiting for them, Feuer looked around but didn''t see his father ''He didn''t come?'' he thought before going away. However, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and hugged him ''''Congratulations for being passing and being the strongest rookie, I''m proud of you, my son!'''' the figure, now identified as Heinz Flake, said with a smile. ''''I''m amazing, aren''t I? You can admit it, father, hehe!'''' Feuer said while boasting shamelessly which got him a smack on the head as a small bump appeared on it ''''That wasn''t necessary, it hurt!'''' ''''This is what you get for being cocky and for boasting, you brat! You''re too far on the Dao of Shamelessness and Boasting compared to me!'''' Heinz said as he also joked, both of them stared at each other before they laughed, this was a happy day for the duo of father and son. 20 First Lesson 1 [My ultra special thanks to ''Dae196 gamemaniac'' and ''James Woolbright'' for becoming my patrons!] Feuer went to talk with Luar after arriving on his Clan, he felt curious about his best friend Elemental Spirit, he also thought about something, he knocked on the door and soon, Luar opened it ''''Wassup, buddy!'''' his best friend said before inviting him to enter and so he did. ''''Well, I analyzed through what you did on the fight and thought that maybe your Elemental Spirit is a rare one, you ordered it to condense, right? Did it took your Mana or the Mana on the air?'''' Feuer asked curiously. Smiling slightly, Luar said ''''It took my Mana and you''re right, my Elemental Spirit will do everything I order it to do, it has no own conscience, though, so, what do you think?'''' ''This is a very good Elemental Spirit if it can obey any order...'' Feuer thought before replying ''''You see, if it can obey any order, it''ll make extremely easy for you to advance realms, don''t you think? Principally in the long run, for example, on the Spiritual Lotus realm, all you need is to condense the Lotus inside your dantian, try ordering your Elemental Spirit to gather Mana and make it absorb the Mana!'''' Luar''s mouth widened as he said ''''How the hell I didn''t think about that yet? Holy crap!'''' ''''Because you''re dumb, now, try to do it, dumbass'''' Feuer said while mocking Luar, that didn''t care about it at all as he ordered his Elemental Spirit ''''Elemental Spirit within my body, gather the Mana on the air and absorb it!'''' As Luar said that, the Mana on the air was quickly absorbed by his body as he exclaimed ''''It works, this is much faster than my Mana Gathering speed, if that goes on, it''ll take less than three months before I advance again!'''' Luar felt genuinely happy as he thought about his Mana Gathering speed, for someone to advance to High Spiritual Manifestation realm, they need to condense an armor made of their element, it isn''t really a full armor, it only covers both arms, Peak Spiritual Manifestation is called ''Full Armor'', which is the armor that covers the entire body except for the head. ''''Thank you, Feuer, really, I''m really happy, damn!'''' Luar said as he smiled widely, Feuer didn''t care about his happiness because he''s used to his best friend overacting sometimes. ''''Yes, yes, I just did this because I wanted to test my theory...'''' Feuer mumbled before saying ''''Well, I''m gonna go back to my room, I feel like cultivating'''' ''I''m about to advance to Martial Body realm... Though I''m also near Spiritual Manifestation, I need is to search within my soul and find the Elemental Spirit, however, I''ll do that after I advance to Martial Body...'' Feuer thought as he went to his room while nodding, feeling satisfied that his theory was indeed true. Three days passed since then as someone delivered the Aurora Academy uniform, the uniform of males is different from females, the males uniform is a pure, beautiful white with black-colored buttons going down its center, on the shoulders, there are black-colored epaulets, they''re also using white-colored pants with silver-colored patterns. The females were the opposite, their shirt being black-colored with silver-colored buttons going down its center, on their shoulders, there are white-colored epaulets, instead of using pants, they use a black-colored skirt with golden-colored patterns, though these uniforms may seem like a bad combination, it looks beautiful. The meaning of it is the Yin-Yang, a perfect balance, the Aurora Academy does this because they treat their students equally, be it female or male, they complement and need each other, Feuer was notified by his father about the uniform delivery and left it on the wardrobe, he''s on the brink of advancing to Martial Body, in a day or two, he''ll advance to it. Silently, five days passed silently as the first day of lessons will start, the day before that, Feuer slept soundly as he managed to advance towards Martial Body, it took more than what he thought it would take, luckily, he advanced on yesterday afternoon and right after it, he slept and woke up just in time. He looked on the clock and saw he''s almost late, quickly, Feuer put the Academy uniform and ran towards the Aurora Academy ''I swear... this is the first time I ever almost got late, how could I, of all people, oversleep?'' he thought while cursing in a low voice. ''It seems I wasn''t the only one almost late'' Feuer thought as he saw his best friend also running in the direction of the Academy, he caught up to Luar and said in a calm tone ''''Late too?'''' Luar looked at him and nodded, it took some minutes before they arrived on the Aurora Academy ''''Our class is the 1-A, there are only 20 students per class so there''s only one class...'''' They entered the class at the same time and noticed that most students were already there, however, Luar thought for a bit and said ''''There are three students here that weren''t on the test... how is that possible?'''' One of them has light blue-colored hair and talking to each other is a pair of brother and sister, from what it seems, they''re twins, both of them being blonde, Feuer noticed that they looked similar to the King which he calls Uncle Ale ''I don''t remember father mentioning that the Princess would also enter the Aurora Academy...'' he thought while frowning, however, he sat on a chair in front of a table because the Instructor entered the classroom and said ''''Everyone, sit down, the first lesson is about to start!'''' Meanwhile, in Heinz study room, the King leisurely said ''''Oh, I forgot to say, the First Princess is also joining the Aurora Academy together with her twin brother!'''' Heinz spat all the tea he was drinking as he said ''''What? How the heck did you forgot to say that? Are you dumb or something?'''' he doesn''t care that the one standing in front of him is the King, they''re best buddies, after all, then, Heinz shook his head ''Well, this will be a surprise for you, I guess, my son...'' He thought while smirking, thinking that Feuer would be very surprised, alas, Feuer simply ignored the First Princess existence as he sat down and paid attention to the lesson. 21 First Lesson 2 ''''Hey, I heard my father talking about you, I wonder what''s so special about you...'''' The blondie girl said with a bit of disdain, however, there was a hint of jealousy too. Feuer didn''t want to talk as he was paying attention to what the Instructor was saying but then, he looked on the Princess direction, scanned her from up and down and shook his head before paying attention to the lesson. ''''So, as I was saying, there are 9 realms for both cultivators and mages, however, do you know about the technique and magic rankings? I thought so, this will be the first lesson, this time, we will talk about it!'''' The Instructor said, he almost laughed when he saw what Feuer did but decided not to point it out after seeing the red face of pure anger that the Princess has. ''''Both Magic and Techniques have a special ranking: Tiers, this is where the nine realms are involved, there are 9 Tiers, each of them is equivalent to a realm, Tier 1 to the Martial/Spiritual Awakening and so on!'''' The Instructor said as the class gasped in surprise, Feuer also felt surprised, this wasn''t on the book at all ''I wonder why only the Academy inside this Kingdom has that information?'' he thought while narrowing his eyes. The twin''s eyes were also sparkling, it seems they''re both hungry for knowledge, Feuer guessed that the girl only tried to mock him out of pure jealousy, he understand that very well ''I also hated when my father compared me to other kids, principally when I thought they weren''t better than me...'' It''s something normal, no one, principally in the puberty, likes to be compared to another kid, for most, it hurt, principally when their self-esteem is low, it just makes it lower, shaking his head, Feuer started to pay attention to the lesson, the Instructor already changed the subject to talk about the wars that happened ''''As almost everyone here knows, in the past, there were many wars, that was known as the [Chaotic Era] due to the constant wars and the fact that peace was something temporary, sooner or later, it would be broken, now, now, is there someone who can answer me who was the true winner of the [Scattering War]?'''' The Instructor said with a small smile, this question is, in fact, a disguised banana peel, ready for some student to slip. And someone took the bait, it was the Princess, she seems to like attention, this was Feuer first impression of her ''''This is an easy question, it was, of course, the humans!'''' ''''To simplify things, the true winners were, in fact, the Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes and whatever other race inside the [Nature Alliance], the [Elnith] continent is populated by the races inside that alliance, it is also the biggest continent, you may say that just because it is the biggest, it doesn''t mean it is the best, the [Elnith] continent, due to the Elves, that govern it, having an extreme affinity towards Nature...'''' Feuer paused for a bit before continuing ''''Over time, they made so that the entire [Elnith] continent is full of trees and things like that, which also made the natural resources inside it richer!'''' He finished as the class fell in silence before everyone, including the twins and the Instructor clapped. The Instructor felt embarrassed slightly, while this was indeed true, his own knowledge was lacking a bit compared to Feuer in that case ''How he knows so much? Did he study from his mother tomb or something?'' before saying Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. ''''As student Feuer said, the [Nature Alliance] was indeed the true winner of the [Scattering War], even now, they''re in peace because they maintained themselves as neutral, originally, many races, including humans, enslaved the Elves due to their features, however, that stopped after the [Scattering War] as they now hold great importance through the world!'''' Unknowingly, the lessons passed extremely fast as a ''Ding Dong'' sound was heard by everyone, the Instructor also felt surprised as he said ''''Time passed fast today, right, students? Well, for today, those were the lessons, make sure to study, the Library is also open for every student if you don''t have the material to study in your home, bye!'''' before vanishing from the sight of the students, even Feuer could only see a faint silhouette. ''This is the power of someone at Low Martial Lotus, huh... As I thought, the difference between Martial Body/Spiritual Manifestation compared to Martial/Spiritual Lotus is incredibly huge... I can fight against someone at Peak Martial Body on practically equal ground and with luck, win, however, I don''t stand even a tiny chance against someone at Low Martial Lotus, sigh'' Feuer thought while sighing inwardly. Someone tapped his shoulders, looking back, he saw that it was the Princess, her eyes looked around as she said ''''S-Sorry for saying that things on the start of the lessons...'''' ''Did I became some kind of anime protagonist?'' Feuer thought before smiling slightly ''''No need to worry, I know how bad it is when a father compares his son or daughter to another kid!'''' The Princess became slightly excited as she said ''''Right, I agree totally! By the way, my name''s Diana Eis, nice to meet you, Feuer!'''' completely forgetting the hostility shown before by her towards Feuer. Shaking his head ''This girl is very childish, isn''t she? I just hope she isn''t tsundere, they''re annoying...'' Feuer thought before replying ''''Nice to meet you too, Diana!'''' Like that, Feuer got himself a new friend, the second friend he ever had. 22 Friend 1 [My ultra special thanks to ''Daniel'' for becoming my patron!] After that, Feuer went to talk with the First Prince, no one approached the Prince because of his status as royalty, they understood that trying to get on his good side would be hard due to his aloof personality, however, Feuer doesn''t give a damn about it and simply went near him. ''''Yo, my father talked about you, you''re the First Prince, Alex Eis, you want to be an adventurer, right? Why do you want to become one?'''' Feuer asked, he felt that the First Prince is interesting, maybe because his name is the same as his own in his previous life or maybe because both of them want to become adventurers, who know. ''By the way, where''s Gaia? A week passed since then... well, maybe it''s more complicated?'' Feuer thought and felt slightly irritated since the First Prince ignored him. ''''I''ll burn your clothes and throw you in the middle of the Kingdom if you don''t answer me...'''' Feuer said, if there''s something he hates is that when someone ignores him, this time, the First Prince looked at him and said ''''Just by yourself?'''' Feuer''s eyes twitched ''I see... he''s an arrogant prick, well, I''ll just let him stay friendless for his entire life, then...'' ''''No wonder no one wants to be your friend, I thought it was due to your status as the First Prince, now I know, it''s simply because don''t want to and is always being ''Oh, I want to be emo'', something like that'''' Feuer said before going away while shaking his head, slightly disappointed that the First Prince is like that. Just as he went away, he felt someone trying to attack him, sighing, he turned around and punched the air as it created air pressure, blowing the Ice shards coming towards him ''''You''re so immature... don''t you know that it''s dangerous to throw Ice on someone?'''' Feuer said before vanishing and appearing beside Alex. ''''Principally when you''re weaker than that person...'''' He said before knocking out Alex by hitting him on the back of his neck ''Should I leave him there, unconscious? Wait, what if someone tries to kidnap him and then, use him against Uncle Ale? Hmmm, I''ll stay here till he wakes up...'' Feuer thought while nodding to himself, he doesn''t want to prejudice Uncle Ale, after all.

Alex said while looking around before realizing he''s in the same place, looking at Feuer, he said ''''I''m sorry for attacking you... I don''t like it when others talk about my status...'''' Feuer kind of understand him, being the son of an influential person himself is hard, not to mention being the person of the King, the person with most influence on the entire Kingdom, waving his hand, he said ''''Nah, no need to worry, being son of a influential person like your dad probably sucks, responsibilities here and there, people saying that you can''t act like that because of your status, I understand you...'''' ''''I see... This is why I want to be an adventurer, I heard that they live as they please, adventuring through the world, fighting monsters and things like that!'''' Alex said as sparkles appeared around him. ''Oy, are you a kid or something?'' Feuer thought before saying ''''You''re right in a way, they''re indeed very free in some way, however, their life is hard, they get a living by fighting dangerous beasts, demons and different races or even humans, though dying is a relatively common thing in our world, the quantity of adventures that die every day is extremely high... to become one, you must be either courting death, be confident or simply strong...'''' ''''Yeah, I know, as soon as I become strong enough, I''ll leave the Kingdom to become an adventurer, I feel that I''ll get much stronger after I become one!'''' Alex said as Feuer nodded, with constant life and death battles, a person''s potential will be constantly stimulated thus advancing faster. Alex then thought of something and asked ''''But I''m surprised, to think you''re that fast, are you sure you''re not a cultivator instead of a Mage?'''' he joked while smiling slightly. ''''Of course, it''s because of a Magic, you know about acceleration magic, right? Well, I just modified it to use it with my element, improving my speed even more...'''' Feuer said as if it was the norm, leaving a dumbfounded Alex as he said ''''You really think this is normal, don''t you?'''' Feuer tilted his head to the side slightly as he felt confused, then, he said ''''Of course, it''s very simple...'''' as he said that, Alex facepalmed before giving up, his new friend is abnormal ''We can be considered friends, right?'' he thought as he smiled, this is the first friend he ever had, after all. Meanwhile, at the Lyn Clan territory, the Lyn Young Leader stood on his father study room as he respectfully said ''''Father, I have a report, you weren''t on the Aurora Academy recruitment but there, the Vind Young Leader tried to make trouble with the Flake Young Leader, the result was that he was defeated and lost his fertility... permanently...'''' The Lyn Clan Leader looked towards his son and said with a serious tone and expression ''''What are your thoughts about that?'''' ''''Father, I think we should ally with the Flake Clan, the Vind Clan is doomed to fall with their heir losing fertility and with the rise of the Flake Young Leader, Feuer Flake and as you know, they have connections with the Eis Royal Family, I honestly think we''ll benefit by allying with the Flake Clan!'''' The Lyn Young Leader said as his father nodded, their thoughts were similar, as long as they could benefit through that, they wouldn''t hesitate on abandoning the Vind Clan, at the same time, the Nero Clan also had the same conversation as they also thought the Vind Clan is doomed to fall. 23 Friend 2 ''''Just a reference for you to understand, the [Acceleration] magic was created thousands of years ago and since then, many people tried to modify it to use alongside the elements, however, no one succeeded to do so, some of them being overlords of a generation and you''re saying that it was simple?'''' Alex said, feeling frustrated. ''''Well, it was actually very simple...'''' Feuer said but still didn''t said how he did it, now that he understood how precious that magic is with the element, he wouldn''t teach it to someone he just met even if that person already became his friend. Mana is the input and Magic is the output, this is what Feuer uses to differentiate them, there are Magics that doesn''t require Mana, one of them being [Acceleration], this kind of magic can be used by cultivators, however, the power wouldn''t be the same, the Mana of a Magician is slightly different from a Cultivator, their mana has their spirit infused. The Mana of a Cultivator doesn''t have their spirit infused ''Maybe this is why there isn''t something like Sea Consciousness realm here? That way, they would access their spirit and have the same source of elements as Magicians while maintaining their superior physical strength?'' Feuer thought before looking at Alex and saying ''''Well, I''m going to go home, we can''t pick mission on the Academy Hall yet because this is the first day, from what I heard, only after a month studying here that we can pick one, this is boring...'''' Feuer sighed as Alex nodded. Alex then said ''''Agreed, though I understand that this is because on the first month studying here, someone could gather more knowledge about the world which would be helpful, what about people like us that already researched on most things?'''' He hesitated for a bit before saying ''''Well... you see, my Royal Father said that I could invite someone there if they became my friends, I just won''t invite you to go right now because I''ll be busy the entire week, school is my only free time, next week I''ll be free, though...'''' Alex''s face brightened up as he stood up and started to go away ''''Then we see again tomorrow and you go to my home next week!'''' he said before speeding up. ''Well, my third friend ever may be a bit silly but well, at least now I have friends, right? Feuer thought as he smiled before also going towards his home. However, midst on the way to go home, he was stopped by around two persons on the Aurora Academy entrance gate, quickly noticing there would be trouble, a crowd formed, surrounding the three of them as some of them said ''''Look... it''s John Vind, he''s the oldest son of the Vind Clan Leader, I heard that he gave up the position of Young Leader because he doesn''t want to fight with his brother, maybe he''s here to avenge his brother?'''' The fact that Feuer fought against the Vind Young Leader and made the latter lose his fertility became hot news through the entire Kingdom. ''Brother? I don''t remember fighting anyone with Vind surname...'' Feuer thought, he ignored completely the fact that he had ''''removed'''' fertility from the Vind Young Leader. ''''I heard that you fought against my brother, huh? I''ll be sure to destroy you, brat!'''' John Vind said as he smiled menacingly, Feuer just sighed ''Another arrogant young master wanting to make trouble, should I destroy his family jewels too?'' he thought. ''''If you want to fight and become popular due to that, just go ahead...'''' Feuer said as he completely said the true purpose of John Vind, he came to make trouble while making it looks like he''s going to avenge his brother while his purpose is to become popular while stepping on Feuer. Feeling that his face heated up, John Vind didn''t hesitate as he dashed forward, apparently, he''s a cultivator, his realm being High Martial Body ''''I''ll utterly destroy you, brat!'''' he shouted as he punched. Feuer didn''t even need to use any kind of technique or magic to dodge that, he''s faster than John, principally now that he advanced to Low Martial Body, smirking, he raised his leg and kicked, his enemy blocked it with his arms but was sent a few meters back, his arms numb. Putting both of his arms slightly backward, Feuer gathered Fire Element as he saw John Vind dashing towards him once again, he looked slightly crazy ''''I''ll kill you!'''' he yelled while still running. Feuer smiled slightly as he then pushed both arms forward as two fireballs were condensed, one in front of his right hand and another in front of his left hand [Mixed Fireballs] he thought in his mind as both Fireballs were thrown on John Vind direction, that couldn''t avoid as both Fireballs suddenly merged and became a bigger one, engulfing him. Smoke covered the place where John Vind previously was and as it disappeared, it showed the latter, unconscious as most of his upper body clothes were burned to ashes, approaching him, Feuer kicked John Vind crotch with his utmost strength, cracking sounds were heard as blood flew down. The male onlookers all held their crotch with pitying gazes as they all thought ''A moment of silence for a fellow, fallen brother...'' The female onlookers, instead, didn''t care about John Vind at all as they all looked towards Feuer, that looked majestic with his dark golden-colored hair and silver-colored eyes ''So cool... so handsome!'' they thought. John Vind two lackeys didn''t dare to fight Feuer, as soon as this happened with their master, they understood they''re doomed, sighing, they carried John Vind back to the Vind territory. Feuer just hummed happily on the rhythm of one of his previous life song as he went to his home, ignoring how he just destroyed the family jewels of someone. 24 Dungeon 1 A week passed since the lessons started as Feuer stood silently in his room, seated on his bed in lotus position. What makes a half-human half-beast terrifying isn''t purely the fact that the human innately weak physique will be ''''fixed'''' but the fact that they can also awaken an Elemental Spirit, due to Magical Beasts having an innately strong physique that will enhance naturally, most of them tend to take the Spiritual Path, of course, not all of them are qualified for that. Only the Magical Beasts that are born with intelligence are qualified for taking that path because usually, a Magical Beast only awaken their intelligence when they enter the Petal Strengthening or Spiritual Petals realm, at that time, they won''t be able to change their path. A half-human half-beast Elemental Spirit tends to be of their race and bloodline, for example, if their beast part bloodline is the Wind Sparrow, their Elemental Spirit will probably be that same Magical Beast, it brings a variety of benefits like improving their physique, enhancing their elemental attacks. Feuer is currently on his consciousness searching for that golden glow, he could see ''''feel'''' it is his Elemental Spirit but couldn''t touch it till now, however, now that he''s on the verge of advancing to Spiritual Manifestation realm, the golden glow simply hid in his enormous consciousness. ''''This is going to be a bother, now I know why there are so many people stuck on this realm'''' Feuer said as he felt irritated but then, he had an idea ''''Yo, golden glow, if you don''t get your ass here right now, when I find you, I''m gonna smack you till you give up existing...'''' Feuer yelled as the sound reverberated through his entire consciousness, he knows that the golden glow has its own intelligence, it is low and probably the level of a small kid, Feuer has all memories from birth and knows that what small kids hate the most is when they''re smacked... on the ass. ''I''m such a genius'' He thought while smirking as he saw a golden glow approaching him with great speed before it stopped in front of him as its form changed to a golden-colored Phoenix ''''You stood the entire time on my consciousness relaxing and when I need you, you hid? Do you know your mistake?'''' Feuer said. The golden-colored Phoenix head bowed slightly as it felt guilty, somehow, Feuer could understand what it was trying to say as he said ''''You were trying to play hide and seek? Where did you even learned about that? Wait, nevermind...'''' he shook his head before continuing The golden-colored Phoenix simply extended its claws as Feuer also extended his hand and touched the claws as his entire consciousness started to glow in a golden-colored light, Feuer then felt that a connection between him and the golden-colored Phoenix was made, if he died, his Elemental Spirit died and vice versa. It is indeed possible for an Elemental Spirit to die, it happens like that because they have the person ''Soul'' and ''Spirit'' infused into it, however, when one dies, it''s possible to ''''reconstruct'''' it with some materials, however, if the contract between the person and his/her Elemental Spirit is mutual like the one Feuer did, when the Elemental Spirit dies, the person also dies, however, their connection will be inextinguishable, they''ll be true partners. However, only a few Elemental Spirits can do a contract like that, it may sound like a stupid deal but it actually isn''t, they grow in strength along with the person and the deeper the connection someone has, the stronger the Elemental Spirit grow, however, a connection like the one Feuer just made with the golden-colored Phoenix is more special than anyone else. Feuer then turned to look at the golden-colored Phoenix once again after the contract between them was made, its previously spiritual body changed, its body became like a fiery, golden-colored Flame that threatened everything on its way, be it physical or spiritual. It has bright golden-colored eyes that seem to be able to see through everything, preventing it and its owner to fall in illusions now that they''re connected to each other, smiling slightly, Feuer fused with his Elemental Spirit as his body changed. Two pairs of golden-colored wings appeared behind Feuer back, his previously silver-colored eyes turned bright yellow and his hands became claws, all of his physical and spiritual attributes increased drastically, before Feuer master his transformation in a Phoenix, transforming through his Elemental Spirit is good. Then, he undid his fusion with his Elemental Spirit, this was only one of its functions, it can also be used as a flame, though, for now, Feuer isn''t able to use his Elemental Spirit as a flame, he tried to do so but failed miserably, through his estimates, he can maintain his fusion with the Elemental Spirit for around ten minutes ''For now, this is enough, I guess...'' Feuer thought to himself. ''''By the way, tomorrow, the Instructor said we''ll enter a dungeon tomorrow, he also said that we''ll train on dungeons for three weeks so that we can be prepared when we go outside to do missions...'''' Feuer thought out loud as he opened his eyes, his Elemental Spirit flew around him happily and rubbed its cheeks against Feuer''s cheeks before entering his consciousness and going to take a nap till its partner call it again. ''I forgot to ask his/her gender!'' Feuer realized, he can''t possibly call his partner ''it'' because he/she has intelligence, then, he shook his head ''Maybe he/she is genderless'' Feuer nodded and also went to sleep. Tomorrow they''ll go to a dungeon, requiring him to have a good rest today so that his performance is good, this will be a good experience for him, Dungeons appears randomly all around the world and monsters are ''''generated'''' from it, from the weakest slime to even the strongest Dragon to Phoenix, it is a labyrinth with monsters, traps and different environments. On the books, it says Dungeons were created by an Evil God in order to bring chaos, however, it ended up having the opposite effect as though there are some rare dungeons that bring destruction through monsters that escape it, many use it as a way to improve themselves. 25 Dungeon 2 Feuer woke up as the sun rose proudly on the sky once again, washing away the night cold and chilly aura, bringing its warm rays into the life of everyone. Rubbing his eyes, Feuer woke himself up because he''s still feeling rather sleepy, he yawned as he prepared a good, relaxing bath for himself, nodding while feeling satisfied, after his bath, Feuer changed his clothes to the Aurora Academy uniform as usual. "Today we''ll go to a dungeon according to the Instructors, father!'''' Feuer smiled slightly as he said that before bidding farewell to his father and going away. ''I''ll wait for him to come back before telling him ''that'', hn'' Heinz thought to himself as he nodded. ''''I wonder what kind of Dungeon we''ll go today...'''' Feuer thought out loud while humming a song of his previous life, the music of this world aren''t that good, after all. "Oh, Feuer, it''s you!'''' Feuer heard someone saying and looked around before seeing the pair of twins, Alex and Diana. "Yo, excited about today?'''' Feuer said as the twins nodded, this is the first time they''ll do something like that, in fact, it would be true to affirm that everyone from the class is excited about it, Feuer included. ''''I heard that the Instructor said the Dungeons we''ll go today is a Tier 1 one, also that it is near the level of Tier 2!'''' Diana said as she smiled slightly, for both her and her brother, a Tier 1 dungeon doesn''t pose any threat at all. "I see...'''' Feuer nodded as he thought ''Being royalty certainly has its benefits, huh...'' Alex just stood silent all the way but nodded constantly about the things Feuer and Diana talked about, they arrived quickly on the class, Alex finally decided to say something "Feuer... do you know that you became famous through the academy? You know, you even got the title ''Jewel Destroyer Prince'', pfft...'''' he tried to hold his laughter on the end but ended up laughing loudly. Feuer expression changed slightly before returning to his usual stoic expression ''What kind of title is that? Well, it''s still better than Nut Destroyer Prince, right?'' He thought before saying "I see... but, doesn''t this count as an offense to the Kingdom? You know, someone giving me a title with Prince on it...'''' ''''Hahaha...'''' Diana laughed and took a few breaths to calm down before she said ''''Well, you don''t need to worry about that because the one that gave you that title was our Royal Father...'''' ''Et tu, Uncle Ale?'' Feuer thought but then, he shook his head ''''Well, coming from Uncle Ale, this is the least I could expect, right... anyway, the Instructor is late...'''' he said while frowning slightly, even Luar, who is usually late, came early today and is currently talking with a girl ''Good luck, Girl Scout!'' Feuer thought while giving thumbs up. Suddenly, someone appeared in front of the class and said "Silence, everyone, go to your seats because I will explain how today''s activities will happen!'''' Obviously, it''s the Instructor, that said with his usual serious expression, instantly, everyone quieted down. ''''Listen, right now, all of you are simply unpolished gems ready to be polished, however, this will be a though process where you will need to kill, maybe for the first time, who knows, we''ll go to a peak Tier 1 Dungeon, here, you''ll need to put your battle techniques, experience and instincts to the maximum and get stronger, now, follow me!'''' The Instructor said as many of the student''s moods were improved, then, they followed him up to something that looked like a portal. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. "This is a Portal Transmission Formation, as long as there''s another one on another place connected to this one through a link, we can enter that and appear on another location and vice versa.'''' Then, everyone followed him and entered the Portal Transmission as they appeared in front of an old, dusty cave entrance. "Here it is, the entrance of our Dungeon, don''t be fooled by that cave entrance, it can actually transport you to another dimension that is connected to ours, this is that Dungeon dimension, while we don''t know how that happens, we know that monsters will spawn everything that Dungeon is cleared and that while the level of it will always be the same, the monsters inside always change and so does the environment...'''' The Instructor explained more about the dungeon as the twins had sparkles around them while hearing that. ''''Oh, this is my first time entering a Dungeon, it seems to be exciting, don''t you think?'''' One of the male students said as he tapped Feuer shoulder, that narrowed his eyes, the male student then said ''''Oh, how rude of me, I''m David Lyn, the Lyn Clan Young Leader, nice to meet you, Feuer Flake'''' ''These eyes... I saw many like that before, the eye of someone that see others as pure objects and only see others as ways of getting benefits'' Feuer thought but still said ''''Nice to meet you, indeed, I''m rather excited about the Dungeon, I hope we get along well...'''' In a brief moment, Feuer understood that for the Lyn Young Leader to talk with him, this can only mean that things aren''t going well with the Vind Clan anymore, if he rejects to ''''befriend'''' him, there''s a chance the Lyn Clan will become an ally with the Vind Clan again ''You want to use me as someone that will give you benefits? You''re too young for that...'' Feuer thought while maintaining his stoic expression as they entered the Dungeon, to be honest, he''s feeling rather curious about what kind of alliance the Lyn Clan wants to offer. Instantly, the environment around them changed as many instantly started to tremble slightly from such low temperatures. 26 Dungeon 3 Looking around, Feuer noticed that everyone had been separated, he was all alone right now, no trace of his friends and the rest of the students, then, he started to pay attention to the environment, no matter where he looked, all he can see is mountains and trees covered by a beautiful, white snow that radiates the word ''''pure'''', however, who knows the dangers that lurks inside that forest. Feuer wasn''t affected by the cold, chilly environment at all, if he had to say, he felt rather comfortable and warm, shaking his head slightly, he thought ''From the lessons, the Instructor said that only Tier 2 Dungeons would separate everyone that enters it, which means this is a Tier 2 Dungeon...'' ''Judging that this is a Dungeon with a cold environment, I can conclude that the monsters here will also have that attribute, perfect for me, though...'' Feuer thought and also sighed in relief, his friends would probably be safe, with the twins having Ice element and Luar having Fire element. Narrowing his eyes, Feuer thought in his mind as his Mana was sent 50 meters around him [Sense] before looking towards a specific direction, East, on that place, he detected three auras, two of them being familiar signatures to him and the third being unfamiliar [Light Acceleration] he thought as he suddenly appeared beside the two familiar signatures. Ignoring them, Feuer looked to the creature in front of him ''''An Ice Bear, huh...? Too bad that you met me'''' The Ice Bear in front of him is a Low Tier 2 Beast, it has around 2,5 meters of height, one that hadn''t developed high intelligence yet and only has its natural instincts, the Ice Bear growled as he felt the puny human in front of him is a threat so he decided to attack first, raising its paws, the Ice Bear then ''slashed'' downwards. Smirking, Feuer stepped to the side slightly as he thought ''This is the end'' before touching the Ice Bear and saying ''''Burst...'''' As he said that, flames erupted from the Ice Bears insides and burst all of his internal organs thus killing him instantly, it was a quick fight but despite liking to fight, being quick on this case is more important than playing with the Ice Bear, looking back, Feuer said ''''Are you okay? It''s good that you two managed to stay alive against a Low Tier 2 Beast, pretty impressive, seeing that both of you are High Martial Awakening... '''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Feuer looked at him strangely and said ''''If I didn''t appear, both of you would die, anyway, the important thing here is that we need to search for the rest of the students and make sure they''re safe, our Instructor probably already found many of them, also, we need to be silent, I don''t think an Ice Bear would attack alone, there''s probably more around, let''s go...'''' From afar, growls could be heard as a chilling air could be felt by them, the only way to clear a Dungeon is by killing the owner of it, mainly called by the adventurers as the ''Dungeon Boss'', once a Dungeon Boss is killed, another one will take the place, a Dungeon can have monsters and beasts under its Tier but not ones above it. It took them around fifteen minutes before finding the Instructor, that had around fourteen youngsters around him, seeing Feuer, he sighed in relief ''''I found you... I was worried something could happen, however, there are still 6 students missing, three of them being your friends...'''' ''If something happens to any of the young aristocrats here, even as an Instructor, I''m doomed...'' The Instructor thought as cold sweat kept flowing down his back. One of the two male students that Feuer saved said ''''It was Feuer that saved us, he killed a Low Tier 2 Ice Bear in an instant!'''' As he said that, the students around felt many emotions towards Feuer, awe, fear, respect, and admiration, the females, however, all had heart-shaped pupils, the target of those stares trembled slightly ''This is... f*cking creepy, it looked good on some animes I saw but on real-life, damn...'' he couldn''t help but curse inside his mind before shaking his head. ''''Look, this is not arrogance but I feel that I can search for the 6 missing students, I recommend that the Instructor stay here and protect all the students present because while I''m strong, I can''t protect everyone at the same time, something that only our Instructor can do, anyone don''t agree with I just said?'''' Feuer said indifferently, most students emotions towards the former changed to complete respect, the Instructor thought for a bit before saying ''''I agree with your decision, however, be careful!'''' Feuer nodded, if it was before advancing to Spiritual Manifestation, maybe he wouldn''t be so confident but now, he''s sure that even if someone at Peak Martial Body or Peak Spiritual Manifestation comes, though it would take some time, he would be able to defeat that someone, this was confirmed by how easy he killed the Ice Bear. ''Now that I think about it, I killed the Ice Bear without even blinking, I didn''t even feel anything right now...'' Feuer felt strange and sad at the same time, he''s Half-Phoenix and Half-Phoenix, this means he''s also Half Beast, despite that, he killed someone of his ''''kind'''' and he doesn''t feel anything about it Feuer felt confused as he thought ''Maybe the fact that I''m also Half Beast made me indifferent to killing?'' but then, he shook his head, it doesn''t make sense at all ''Someday, I would need to kill and it would become something common, since I don''t feel anything, I guess this is better...'' There was a day he read ''When one kills for the first time, they would feel bad but after killing more, they would feel good'' he doesn''t know if it true but he''ll discover it soon enough. [Author Note: To clear any misunderstanding, I''m not saying that killing is good and that you should do it, this is purely fiction and to help one understanding the novel, well, that''s it, cya!] 27 Dungeon 4 Still somewhat confused, Feuer dashed through the forest while his [Sense] was still spread out through 50 meters around him, a Dungeon is a labyrinth but it isn''t really big ''Maybe they found where the boss was?'' Feuer thought but then, he shook his head, Luar, Alex and Diana know that the fact that they were separated means it is a Tier 2 Dungeon, they wouldn''t be dumb enough to face a Peak Tier 2 Beast even if there were more of them. The difference is like a shining crystal that would look ordinary through the entire morning and afternoon but would shine brightly on the beautiful, cold and dark night, the gap is simply too big ''Hm? I sensed something!'' Feuer thought as he sensed a group of unfamiliar signatures together, apparently, they surrounded some people ''All the six are together? Well, such coincidence!'' he thought once again as a smile appeared on his face. Rays of light were left through the way he went, he used the trees to hide himself, looking closely, he saw that it was actually a village, Feuer thought out loud ''''It''s the first time I heard there''s actually villages, I guess they don''t explore it or simply don''t care to explain the insides in details, hm?'''' Feuer then saw a funny sight, it was two goblins, however, differently from what was shown on many novels he had read back then on his previous life, where they were said to be green, what Feuer saw were goblins with snow-white skin ''With this environment and the goblins being one of the weakest races, they also have adaptability, over time, the ones that adapted survived and the ones that couldn''t adapt ended up dying...'' he thought. The six familiar signatures were in the middle of the village which was named Cold Goblins Village by Feuer amazing naming sense, surrounded by Cold Goblins, that held their weapons pointed towards the six, not daring to attack, though. ''I have to admit, I have such great naming sense, I wonder if they have an actual name? I mean, it''s probably a bloodline mutation after they adapted...'' Feuer thought while smiling slightly, feeling it was a relatively good name, poor him, doesn''t know his naming sense isn''t good as he thinks it is. The two Cold Goblins were talking over as they saw a fruit on the ground and suddenly, they started to fight for the fruit, Feuer wanted to laugh but decided that he should be fast before it gets too dangerous for his friends, as his face turned cold, Feuer disappeared from his position and appeared between the two Cold Goblins that were about to hit each other and said ''''Have a good stay on the otherworld!'''' as a dark mist covered his hand and formed claws, smiling, Feuer slashed as the Cold Goblins heads flew. He appeared silently above a Cold Goblin, that was talking with another Cold Goblin, surprisingly, Feuer could understand what they were saying ''''Lord Shaman said that we need to wait because he''s confirming if there are reinforcements nearby of those humans, he also said that the two human females probably have good status on the human society and that they''re a good object of reproduction..'''' ''So on this world, the goblins use human women like the ones I had read on a specific manga of my previous life?'' Feuer thought as his silver-colored eyes started to glow golden due to his anger, what he despises the most in the world is this kind of thing. ''''Those small pieces of sh*t... Just wait till your so-called Lord Shaman appears, I''ll kill him in front of you and then, kill all of you slowly...'''' Feuer said as his eyes kept glowing in a golden-colored color albeit unknown to him, just then, a different goblin that looked unique suddenly stood up and shouted to the Cold Goblins ''''Our Lord Shaman arrived, salute!'''' The Cold Goblins saluted in a unique way of shouting, then, an old-looking Cold Goblin, taller than most of the ones from his race appeared, holding a wooden staff, he said calmly ''''There are no reinforcements, I detected no one through my magic, kill the males and capture the females...'''' The Cold Goblins were about to attack when a burst of cold, sadistic laughter was heard ''''HAHAHA!'''' instantly, every Cold Goblin, including the unique one and the Shaman were on full alert, however, a pressure made them unable to move, this wasn''t a Spiritual Pressure, it was one that came from the depths of their bodies, it was a bloodline suppression. All of the Cold Goblins felt their blood boiling, not on excitement but on fear, they felt indescribable fear, one that no matter what, they couldn''t stop their body from trembling, they couldn''t move, talk, only breath in a very slow manner as they felt the air around them being removed, it looked as if a prehistoric, superior Beast was in front of them and all they could do was look in fear. Suddenly, a Human appeared beside the Shaman ''''Hello, ''Lord Shaman'', what were you saying? Oh, let me remind you, you said ''Kill the males and capture the females'', I also heard that your filthy and inferior race would use them as objects of reproduction?'''' The voice of the human was cold as ice, it looked like a demon that came from the depths of hell, despising the Cold Goblins race as his tone was full of irony. The Shaman felt he could talk again and said while shuttering, his voice trembling slightly due to his immense fear ''''G-Great Lord, we never meant that, right, it was the humans that invaded our terr-'''' before he could continue, his head was severed as it flew down in front of the many Cold Goblins, the Shaman could still see his body for a few seconds before his consciousness faded, never to awaken again. The ''Human'' voice now was completely calm, however, endless coldness could be felt from it as he said ''''Oh, sorry, said something? I forgot to warn you, how silly of me... No one will escape today!'''' Suddenly, he smiled, it looked innocent like the smile of a baby but on the paralyzed Cold Goblins, it looked demoniac ''''Let''s start with the ones in the front...!'''' the ''Human'' said as a wicked, sadistic smile appeared on his face, Feuer gave up on trying to control his sadistic and... evil side, at least temporarily, the Cold Goblins would feel a death of pure agony. 28 Dungeon 5 In the eyes of the six students, including Luar, Alex and Diana terrified eyes, they saw a completely different Feuer, the usual gentle gaze he has disappeared, his kindness towards everyone that isn''t his enemy wasn''t there anymore, his eyes, that were glowing golden in pure fury before had now a tinge of black. What his friends were terrified wasn''t his cruel actions, they understood what would happen if Feuer didn''t come, the two girls would suffer a destiny worse than death, they were terrified, thinking that Feuer went through the non-orthodox, dangerous way of being a magician or cultivator, the so-called Dark Magician and Evil Cultivator respectively. However, the six of them stared silently as Feuer slowly approached the many Cold Goblins in front of him and made exactly 25 small flames before forcing the Cold Goblins to ''''swallow'''' it, being adapted to Ice element and due to the fact that the flames had a temperature higher than what they could endure, the Flame slowly started to burn them from their insides as they screamed in pain. The Cold Goblins behind them struggled inwardly as they saw the fate of the ones in front of them, alas, they were unable to move even a bit, however, this didn''t end on that as Feuer smile widened after seeing the Cold Goblins suffering, he used his Dark Element to create a [Dark Claw] as it covered his hands before turning into a claw made of Darkness. Then, Feuer opened a wound on each of the Cold Goblins, seeing that their suffering would only increase, all of the Cold Goblins eyes lost light, they felt complete despair, Feuer didn''t felt it was enjoyable anymore after seeing they didn''t have a reaction, he mumbled in annoyance ''''When it''s to torture others, you laugh and smile but when it''s your time, you''re all such cowards, hm?'''' Annoyed, Feuer raised his hand slightly as Light Element condensed on a single, small sphere above his palm before shooting towards many directions and cutting the head of all Cold Goblins, Luar, Alex, Diana and looked stoic towards the decapitated, dead Cold Goblins, different from the two others, that vomited, by now, Feuer''s eyes had returned to its usual beautiful silver. No trace of fury could be felt anymore, Luar approached Feuer and tried to hug the latter ''''You must have been really angered, buddy, to think you went to such extent just to save me!'''' some tears fell down his face but Feuer ignored him completely ''''Oy!'''' Luar shouted in frustration since his fake tears were discovered. ''I see, so he''s saying that to me because as the son of the King, even if it is the Lyn Young Leader, he has to obey me due to my status and strength...'' Alex thought before saying ''''Ahem, we all realized that the Dungeon became dangerous and that there''s something wrong with it, we should return to the rest of the students and the Instructor, he probably has something that will make us leave that Dungeon!'''' The two students, David Lyn and Luar thought for a bit before nodding, Diana, however, nodded at the same instant while glaring at Feuer, she seemed to be in deep thoughts but she was actually thinking ''What is this sensation?'' as she felt a different, strange and unknown emotion inside her. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Diana felt her heart kept beating when she remembered how the usual kind Feuer became merciless and cruel only to save them, how his eyes glowed in a golden-color, his smile, his beautiful dark golden-colored hair shining as he killed the Shaman and the rest of the Cold Goblins, she felt as if there were butterflies in her stomach ''This is too strange, I''ll ask dad about that weird sensation when I go home!'' she thought to herself while feeling confused, it seems a certain overprotective dad didn''t teach her about certain things, poor dad, will have a surprise. David Lyn narrowed his eyes as he silently thought while following everyone back to the rest of the students and the Instructor ''It seems that Feuer Flake is a good friend with the First Prince, which mean he also probably has a good relationship with the King, my father and my decision of stopping relations with the Vind Clan was certainly a perfect hit...'' he nodded to himself as they finally arrived on the location Feuer and the Instructor along with the rest of the students had agreed to meet. Feuer didn''t want to talk for now, he was thinking about what he did on the Cold Goblins Village, Alex understood that his friend was in deep thought and decided to talk on his behalf ''''When Feuer arrived, we were surrounded by many, many Goblins, they were different, though, Feuer named them ''Cold Goblins'', cool name by the way, uh, anyway, it was a Village made by them and there was a Shaman commanding them, he wasn''t very strong, though, Feuer killed him easily and to save us, killed the rest of the Cold Goblins!'''' Alex said while omitting the fact that his friend tortured the Cold Goblins as not to disrupt Feuer''s reputation, that is actually very good through the entire Aurora Academy, no, the entire Kingdom. The Instructor nodded before saying ''''I have a thing called ''Return Stone'', it allows the user to return from a Dungeon of its level, which in our case is a Tier 2 one, back to our world, the Dean gave the exact amount for all of us, now, everyone, each one can pick only one!'''' Everyone got a ''Return Stone'', the Instructor then said ''''You just inject your Mana inside it!'''' before disappearing, they nodded as they also injected Mana on the ''Return Stone''. Feuer was the last to leave as he concluded ''Killing... it was unfamiliar to me whether I liked or not, now, I can conclude... I don''t only like it... I enjoy it...'' a wild smile appeared on his face before he organized his thoughts and emotions, he returned to his normal self before injecting Mana on the ''Return Stone'' as the scene around him changed once again, he was back on the normal world. 29 Surprise 1 Feuer was once again, with the rest of the students, in front of the Dungeon Entrance, the Instructor then led everyone back to the Aurora Academy silently and as they arrived on the Academy Entrance, he said ''''Everyone, today lesson is over, we don''t know if the rest of the Dungeon will be affected as well but to guarantee your safety, there won''t be any Dungeon lesson anymore till we confirm that it is safe, next month, all of you will be allowed to take on missions outside the Kingdom to gain experience, you can go home now.'''' Luar, Diana and Alex approached Feuer, that smiled slightly ''''It seems that we were dismissed early today, wanna go to my home?'''' he asked to the three of them, Luar agreed but Alex said on his and on Diana behalf ''''Both of us can''t go, Royal Father said that we have things to do home, we''ll be able to go next week, though!'''' Nodding, Feuer and Luar went to the former home, the latter asked concernedly ''''Buddy, are you okay? You''re overly silent today, is the thing that happened back then bothering you?'''' ''''Nah, I''m just thinking about a new style of clothing that I made some time ago, I made a new uniform for commoners, noble, royalty and for the Army, I can show it to you if you want...'''' Feuer said, he never really liked this World clothing style, it is like the ones people at the medieval era used, which is, in his opinion, lame, He even created a logo with a beautiful, fiery orange-colored ''Hale'' that resembled the hair of his mother, looking extremely beautiful, be the font he based it on or the design, he used ''H'' from his father name, Heinz, ''A'' from his mother name, Ayao, ''L'' from his past life mother that is named Liz and ''E'' from his past life father name, Edward. ''That way, no matter what happens, they''ll always be with me...'' Feuer thought, feeling proud of the logo he created, Luar, at the said, felt his best friend mood changing and asked ''''What are you thinking, for the always serious-looking-cold-dude to have a smile on his face?'''' he teased. ''''Oh, it''s about the logo of the clothing that I made, I named it ''Hale'', it has a hidden meaning'''' Then, Feuer explained about the logo as Luar asked with a confused expression ''''Where does the name Liz and Edward?'''' This earned a small laugh from Feuer, that simply said ''''Maybe one day I''ll tell you about them, for now, it won''t mean anything for you, just think of it as names I created'''' They arrived on Feuer home and deciding not to bother his father work now, where his paperwork is usually much higher, both of them quietly went to the former room, where Feuer quickly picked up a paper, where he had drawn many types of clothing from his past life, jeans, shirts, t-shirts, skirts, etc... Instantly, Luar eyes were wide ''''Holy crap, you really did that? It looks so fricking cool, buddy, you struck gold, I knew you are a talented magician, cooking and some other things but never knew you''re so talented on this kind of thing too!'''' he said, practically shouting. The clothing Feuer made was original, it was indeed on the style of his previous life on 21st Century but they were of his own brand, it was originally named ''Le'' in honor of his dead parents but now it changed to Hale in honor to all of his parents, of this life and of his previous life, they were the most popular brand on the world, too. ''I always wanted to do something of my own and coupled with my talents, I created a clothing brand'' He thought while remembering all the effort he put on his brand, he started from nothing, well, he indeed had some financial support but Feuer limited himself to use what ordinary people would use to start and his brand grew popular over time from nothing ''I started it when I was 16, good old days..'' he thought before showing Luar a few more papers. ''''Damn, if this shows up, not only our Kingdom will want your brand to be sold in their stores, even different Kingdom around us will want it!'''' Luar said before thinking for a bit and saying with a bit of concern ''''However, are you sure this won''t put you in danger? There may be some people who''ll try to kill you for f*cking their business up, what about the material and how''ll you do it?'''' Feuer smiled slightly ''''You don''t need to worry, I already know what material I''ll use, as for how I''ll do it? Heh!'''' he smirked before removing a pile of cloth that was covering something, to be precise, a machine, one that operated through mana, as while it''s indeed possible for him to create a machine made of pure technology like the ones the Gnomes do but more advanced, he doesn''t want to advance this world technology, in Feuer opinion, technology will damn this world, well, except when it''s for his own use, he may have created a Magical Gun. It''s literally what it says, it''s a gun but instead of using physical bullets, it uses Mana, it can be ordinary Mana Bullets or Elemental Bullets, which Feuer preferred to use since using a Light Element Bullet is much stronger than using an ordinary Mana Bullet or any other elemental bullet. People of this world think as Light Element as a holy element because actually, it is rare and also because many think its only application is healing, however, just like Feuer did, he used it as a support to his speed and offensive way of attacking, even creating defensive ways is possible, as such, many only see darkness element as one of destruction, which is in a way, true. Just then, Feuer decided to make a surprise to his father, at that time, Luar had already left, humming happily, he entered Heinz study room and felt it was strange the fact that his father actually had a woman together with him, he was talking with a smile, actually, this is the first time he sees his father smiling to anyone that isn''t him ''''Father, I''m back from Aurora Academy, we were dismissed early today!'''' he said, interrupting Heinz and the woman. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Heinz''s smile vanished abruptly before he said with his most serious expression, though, there was cold sweat flowing down his forehead as he noticed his son and his... well, the woman judging stare, with a smile that looked more like he was crying, Heinz said ''''Son... I... no, me and Celia has something to talk with you...'''' The previous smile that was on Feuer face disappeared completely as the stares that said ''You''re being judged, take care'' looked like arrows that pierced Heinz''s heart, sweating, he started to talk. 30 Surprise 2 Feuer stared silently on his father''s direction and so did the woman, their stares stabbed deeply on Heinz''s mind as both of them were practically saying ''Stare of Judgment'', he felt as if an invisible arrow pierced his heart. ''''Ahaha, son, Celia, calm down, will you? Please, both of you, sit down so we can talk calmly, right?'''' Heinz said while sweating slightly, both Celia and Feuer sat down but their stares were judging every word he said. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Sighing slightly, Heinz started to talk ''''It''s good that you arrived early, son. I have an important thing to announce, I fell in love with Celia and so did her with me, it was love at first sight, we were talking about something... it happened three months ago, I was holding back for some reasons both of you know, son, we decided to marry, me and Celia!'''' he announced as Feuer''s eyes glowed in a golden-color for a brief second before returning to normal. ''''I see, father, you don''t need to worry, as I already said, your happiness is my happiness, I just expect that you give me a younger brother or sister, hn.'''' If before Feuer had joked about that, everything that he said was said with utmost seriousness, his gaze was so serious that both Heinz and Celia blushed in embarrassment, the mood was somehow eased through that. Heinz then shouted ''''You brat, what do you even know about that?!'''' then, he continued as he smirked slightly ''''Oh, if before you called Ale Uncle purely because he''s older and like a brother to me, now you can truly call him Uncle Ale since Celia is his sister!'''' ''''PFFFT!'''' All the water Feuer was drinking calmly was spat out of his mouth, he then looked at Celia again and noticed ''Holy crap, she''s really similar to Uncle Ale!'' he thought while noticing her beautiful, bright golden-colored hair, taking a shade akin to an angel, her eyes deep blue like a sapphire. Just then, Feuer thought about something and also smirked ''''Oh, father, I wonder if Uncle Ale already knows he''ll be called brother-in-law?'''' It was time for Heinz to be surprised right now, Celia laughed ''''Haha, dear, it seems he paid back the surprise you gave him!'''' she said as Feuer noticed that Diana and Alex''s personality seems to be slightly similar to her despite the small number of words Celia said till now. ''''With me being the King sister, I''m a princess but actually, not many except our family know about me, even dear only met me three months ago and take note that I''m just one year younger than him, my brother was always overprotective, sigh...'''' she sighed but her mood was still bright. Feuer looked at her and said ''''Diana and Alex personality is slightly similar to yours, always bright, making it seems there are sparkles around them...'''' Heinz just looked at both of them, that are talking with each other, smiling warmly, he''s seeing both people he loves the most being friendly, how couldn''t he? ''''Of course, though my brother passes all his free time with the kids, he''s busy most times so they also go to play with me, I think I influenced them a bit? Just hope it isn''t bad for them...'''' Celia said while shaking her head slightly. Just then, both of them looked at each other realized something and said at the same time to Heinz ''''Why did you hide that from both of us?'''' they asked confusedly as the usual cold, overbearing and majestic Flake Clan Leader had cold sweat flowing down his back. He fell in silence for a few seconds before saying ''''I was afraid that Feuer wouldn''t accept you and that you wouldn''t accept Feuer...'''' Feuer nodded and thought ''On this world, generally, only Kings/Queens or Emperors/Empress have an ''''official'''' harem, men or women that have a son but their partner isn''t alive, which is a single father or mother, they''re generally despised, principally if their status isn''t high or they aren''t strong enough like my father...'' ''''Oh, dear, even if you had hundreds of sons, I would still accept them, my heart would always be open for them, you''re the love of my life, your son is also my son!'''' Celia said with a bright, warm smile, her gentle gaze staring deep on both Heinz and Feuer''s eyes. He felt strange, this gaze, the warm and gentle feelings she could pass simply through it, this was something he hadn''t felt that from anyone except his parents, Feuer was astonished, he thought while feeling confused ''Why would she accept me just because of that? Why is she so kind? Why is she so warm to me even though we just met? Why does she resemble how my mother looked at me when she was alive?!'' Then, he realized ''Maybe this is why father fell in love with her? She''s gentle, kind and warm, just like mother was, however, I don''t think this is the reason it happened, I see...'' Feuer thought before shaking his head and smiling slightly, he felt that his father had found someone worthy of him, someone, that deserves him and that he deserves her. He decided to announce them something of his own ''''Father, I decided of creating a business for myself, look at his, you too, Celia!'''' he couldn''t call her mother yet, for his sake, he just met her and even though Feuer is sure that one day, he''ll truly accept her, he just can''t do it yet. Both looked at the papers Feuer brought, they hadn''t noticed it before, smiling slightly, Feuer explained all he said to Luar to Heinz and Celia. They stood talking for an hour, discussing how to apply it on the Kingdom, Heinz felt proud of his son and so did Celia, then, Feuer went back to his room, it is already late and he has to sleep, tomorrow he has to go to the Academy, after all. Just then, an emotionless and genderless voice sounded on his ears, coming directly from his soul [Master, I''m back] the voice said as Feuer smile widened slightly. 31 Clothing Store 1 ''''It''s nice to see you again, Gaia, so, why did it take so much time? And, what''s your new function?'''' Feuer asked since it took like more than a week, he felt slightly curious. [I can now observe anyone status if you simply think ''Observe'', however, it has some restrictions, if the disparity of strength is too much, the only thing you''ll be able to see is the person name and age.] The Gaia System said with its genderless, emotionless voice as Feuer nodded before concentrating on something he''s doing. Silently, a week passed with Feuer going to the Academy, increasing his knowledge about this world but there was one thing he understood: Even the Academy, that holds most knowledge about cultivators and magicians, can''t increase his knowledge by much, in just a week, he had absorbed all of it, though his knowledge increased, it wasn''t by much, he feels that it won''t be long before staying on the Kingdom will be beneficial to him. On the week that passed, he managed to finish more than thousands of clothing: pairs of shirts, jeans, t-shirts, skirts and even capes, each pair cost him only 50 Copper Coins, the material he used was something similar to the ones used on most clothes of his previous life, however, his way of handling it was different, he''s planning to sell each pair of clothing for 25 Silver Coins, which is relatively expensive for an ordinary commoner but not by much. The current currency, not only in the Kingdom but also through the entire [Mortal Zenith] is like that: 100 Copper Coins is equal to 1 Silver Coin. 100 Silver Coins is equal to 1 Gold Coin. 100 Gold Coins is equal to 1 Platinum Coin. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. ''Cliche currency but efficient since it is the same at every Kingdom or Empire, no matter which race....'' Feuer thought while nodding to himself, he''s currently on the way to the Royal Palace, he had already requested an audience with Uncle Ale beforehand because the store he wants is owned by the Royal Family, however, it isn''t used for a long time. It didn''t take much time before Feuer arrived on the Royal Palace, with the permission given to him beforehand, there wasn''t any problem so he was able to enter it, he saw a man with a bright golden-colored hair seated on a golden-colored throne with silver patterns, he emanated the aura of a King. Of course, he didn''t say that purely for the fact he thought Uncle Ale would be kind to sell it to him, but due to the fact that Uncle Ale liked his clothing so much, principally the ones made for Royalty that he built it beforehand, in fact, he already threw his old clothing and is now using the ones Feuer made. ''''Brat, brat, that store was built by our Royal Ancestors, no one, even from our Royal Family, dared to own it again, however, I know that this would increase the Kingdom economic activities and even attract business from different Kingdoms, I''ll sell it for you for 100 Platinum Coins, what do you think?'''' Uncle Ale, the King, said with a small, indifferent smile. Feuer thought it would be more expensive, he even brought 1000 Platinum Coins, his father fully believe that the money he invested would return by many times in less than a month, the Kingdom, despite being one of the smallest of the [Enith] continent and being at the very border, has around tens of thousands of commoners and thousands of nobles. Also, his identity would be hidden from the eyes of the public, only his father, Celia, Luar and Uncle Ale knows about it, they''re people he trust, the reason he trust Celia is because he learned how to see if someone is lying, like a lie detection machine but on real life and that it works. And so, he only needed to sign a contract of the Store ownership and the only thing left was the publicity, which the King himself would do, it only cost him 50 more Platinum Coins, Feuer didn''t complain because the influence Uncle Ale has is simply enormous, now, regarding the clothing, there were some that cost more than 25 Silver Coins. They were made of the same material but they were more detailed and more beautiful, those costs 1, 10 and 100 Gold Coins respectively, the ones costing 10 Gold Coins were something that only those with Baron/Baroness to Viscount/Viscountess noble title could buy and the ones costing 100 Gold Coins were something that only those with Earl/Countess to Duke/Duchess could buy, the ones costing 1 Gold Coins can be bought by ordinary commoners too. It wasn''t just because it is more detailed and more beautiful, it also signified the sign of someone status because ordinary clothing with no noble titles requirements have an ordinary, brown-colored logo with a white-colored ''Hale'' inside it, the ones costing 10 Gold Coins have a golden-colored logo with silver-colored ''Hale'' inside it and the ones costing 100 Gold Coins have a silver-colored logo with golden-colored ''Hale'', the important thing was the text, not the logo color, though. Many commoners and nobles had seen the new clothing of the King on a day he passed by and some Nobles with connections managed to know that it was made by an unknown person but got to know that person store when the King ''''accidentally'''' leaked the information, they soon understood everything about the store and the articles of clothing that it would sell, the entire Kingdom was boiling in excitement, despite those clothing being way too different from the ones they were using, from a mere look, they could see how superior and beautiful it was compared to theirs. All Feuer did was to hire a Waiter that his dad recommended, actually, he hired around ten because the Store had four floors, the first one for the clothing that cost 25 Silver Coins, the second for the ones costing 1 Gold Coin, the third for the ones costing 10 Gold Coins and the last one for the ones costing 100 Gold Coins, unknown to them, the creator of all those clothes is a youngster with less than 15 years of age. 32 Clothing Store 2 ''Today will be the grand opening of my Clothing Store...'' Feuer thought to himself, he decided to open it today because today is a holiday, it''s called the [Successing King Day], apparently, this was the day that the strongest King, whose name is Ale Eis, also the King that brought the most prosperous and peace to the Kingdom, he''s respected by all commoners and even the nobles of the Kingdom. Even though it is some hours before the grand opening, there were already hundreds of commoners and nobles waiting, Feuer observed calmly from the Store fourth floor, the material used for the building was an extremely durable one named [Fake Mithril], as the name says, it is fake mithril, it has that name because it is similar to one but less durable, even so, this is one of the strongest materials, no one except him know about the building material, though. Probably, not even the King himself knows about it, the reason he knows is simple: Observe, he learned it can also inspect objects, building and more ''Such convenient thing...'' Feuer thought while smiling slightly. [Perfect Disguise] He thought to himself as his figure slowly changed, be it his appearance, signature and aura, all of it changed, he took the appearance of a young man about 22 years old, he had a relatively ordinary appearance but the aura given was seemingly out of ordinary, Feuer then put a black-colored suit as he waited the hours to pass while meditating. With the week that passed, he was able to comprehend completely how to advance to High Martial Body & Spiritual Manifestation, he needs to temper his Internal Organs and understand how to use an Elemental Armor, which he already understood, the only thing left is Mana Accumulation, it seems that his Elemental Spirit requires a large portion of it, however, it won''t take long either, he''s already close to advancing on both Body and Spirit path. Hours passed by as the grand opening was close, less than ten minutes away from it, Feuer suddenly opened his eyes before descending calmly through the stairs of the Fourth Floor, it didn''t take him long before he arrived on the First Floor as the 20 Waiters he hired greeted him ''''Boss!'''' they said while bowing slightly to show respect, on this world, this is a common thing. ''''Good. Is everything ready? I believe I have already explained the specifics as how to treat the customers, right? Remember the rules and requirements for one to ascend for different floors, I want things to go in an organized manner, also, you do not need to obey every single thing a customer says, if he''s disrespecting you, you''re free to expulse him from the Store, our [Golden Hale Store] has the protection of the King himself, there''s nothing they can do to you...'''' Then, Feuer left the Store through the principal entrance as all eyes were on him, he looked calmly towards the crowd as he said ''''Everyone, I know that many of you are anxious but I will warn you: Our store won''t accept you anymore if you either disrespect the Waiters in any form, disrespect me, the Owner, or isn''t organized, now, I want everyone to queue up, anyone that doesn''t queue won''t be accepted, we''ll call everyone through that person status as to make things faster...'''' Some of the nobles on the crowd looked at him with narrowed eyes, feeling that a mere owner, despite creating such beautiful clothes, was being disrespectful to them, one of them, a youngster of 16 years with fancy-looking clothing but that was already outdated with the new ones made by Feuer suddenly stepped out of the crowd and said arrogantly ''''Hmph, what if I don''t want to obey the rules you made? You''re only a Store owner, know your place!'''' ''Good, someone presented himself to be an example for others...'' Feuer smiled widely as he approached the youngster, that just looked at him with an arrogant expression and eyes that said ''Do something if you dare'', alas, he challenged the wrong person as Feuer punched him in the stomach, he was sent flying a few meters before he fell on the ground, unconscious. ''''You''re free not to respect my rules, however, remember that the King himself gave me the Store and he loves the clothes I make, if you don''t obey it, I''ll be forced to use force and after it, you won''t be able to enter the Store anymore...'''' Feuer said as his face still had a smile, what he just said has a hidden meaning and it became clear to every noble and commoner, he basically said with different words: The King is backing me. ''''Now, as the Owner of the [Golden Hale Store], I officially open it to everyone, if your noble title is called, you may enter and go directly to the floor designated to your title, after all of the nobles enter, the commoners will also enter...'''' Feuer said before entering his Clothing Store once again and going to the Fourth Floor, each floor was enough to fit around a thousand humans, this is just how big it was made. ''Well, well, it seems I''ll be rich soon enough, aya, having the support of Uncle Ale is such a good thing, I wonder what his reaction will be when he discovers about father and Celia marriage, haha...'' He thought while laughing a bit. Meanwhile, at the Royal Palace, Diana asked what she was thinking since they left the Dungeon to her father ''''Dad... I''m feeling strange recently, every time I look at Feuer, I feel my heartbeat accelerating and I feel nervous near him, my face gets hot for some reason, am I sick?!'''' she asked with a worried expression. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. The King, known for being the strongest one of the Aurorial Kingdom history, almost had a heart attack when she said this and wanted to shout but held himself before saying in a kind, gentle manner ''''Of course not, honey. You''re not sick but you''ll need to figure what you''re feeling by yourself, it may be a good or bad thing...'''' he said as Diana nodded before going away. As soon as Diana left the enormous room, Ale shouted with all his might, showing how angered he was ''''F*CKING BRAAAAAAAAAT!'''' On a secret room, Feuer was observing the floors of his Store through a Magical Camera he made before he shivered and sneezed ''Maybe there''s someone talking bad things about me?'' he thought and nodded, with his rules, many nobles probably hate him to the core since their noble asses don''t like to obey a ''''peasant'''', then, he started to observe as more and more people started to buy the clothes. 33 Bringer of Chaos 1 [Author Note: My ultra-special thanks to ''''Reggie'''' for becoming my patron!] There were, indeed, many commoners buying the clothes he made, however, a huge majority of the customers were nobles, the commoners were mostly merchants, forgers or a simply wealthy family, honestly, Feuer thought that bringing modern clothes to this medieval-like world would bring chaos and displeasure, however, things turned out to work pretty well, he didn''t expect things to work so well like that, at least, he thought they would feel it''s strange and even lame, their concept of style is different, after all. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. ''Maybe this is the perk of being a person that was reincarnated?'' Feuer thought while smiling funnily, even after almost 15 years, he didn''t leave the Kingdom except to the Forest, it was very rare to encounter anyone inside it, though, even if he did, he would simply ignore them. It was already late, two hours before midnight, the Store closed as the twenty waiters stood before him and saluted, this time, they bowed deeply as one of them, titled as the one administrating them, said ''''Today sales were great, boss! All of our stocks were finished some hours ago, however, as you asked us to do, we said anyone with a noble title above Baron was allowed to request personalized clothes, the price would just increase as more details were added!'''' Feuer nodded and signaled for the Manager he hired to continue ''''We sold all 250 pairs of Earl to Duke articles of clothing - Shirts, T-Shirts, Skirts and Jeans, the same goes to the 500 pairs of Baron to Viscount and 1000 pairs for commoners - half of it being the ones costing 1 Gold Coin, today, the total was 30.000 Gold Coins and 12.500 Silver Coins, converting it all to Gold Coins, our gains, not considering the materials cost, were 30,125 Gold Coins, boss!'''' The Manager said today report excitedly, he worked as a Manager before but there wasn''t even one that had such enormous money obtained on a single day, of course, though this was the first day, many nobles will still come every day to buy new clothes, he estimates that even after the initial hype ends, their daily gains will still be around 1500 Gold Coins, the Manager is a very experienced one and know that Nobles likes to show their status. ''''Also, if you have any financial problems with your family or there''s any trouble, you can talk to me and I''ll solve it, I''m a generous boss, which is why you don''t even need to try to steal the Store money, I''ll know if you do, when that time comes, you won''t like the consequences because you''ll get to know that being my enemy is far worse than being an ordinary noble enemy...'''' There are three things Feuer hates: Thieves/Bandits (well, except when it is done to evil dudes like a certain famous man with Hood on his name did on his previous life animations), people that see other people as objects and rapists. He got to hate thieves and bandits after what happened to his previous life but doesn''t think all of them are bad, Feuer hates people that see other people as objects due to his greedy relatives and rapists due to thinking ''How would I feel if it happened to my mother? Or a sister, if I had one?'' the result was it almost driving him to complete fury, that day, poor Luar received all Feuer anger. A day passed as Feuer decided to venture on the Aurora Academy Library, there were many students inside it, focused on reading, he entered the section of books with ''D'' words being at its start, it didn''t take him long before he found a book named literally [Dungeons] ''''I''ll see if I can find something here that helps me understand why the Dungeon Tier rose up...'''' Feuer thought before opening it, the book was rather thick but he scanned the pages quickly before appearing on a topic named [Bringer of Chaos Theory], a cool topic, he mused. [The Dungeons were supposedly created by a God of Chaos in order to obviously bring chaos to the world, however, their Tier was determined randomly, at least, this is what many think, a theory made by Davy John changed many mages and cultivators mind, the theory is named [Bringer of Chaos Theory] and it states that a Dungeon Tier changes according to the chaos surrounding it, also saying that a Dungeon whose original Tier was 1, with Chaos approaching its nearby location, would change and become stronger, becoming a Tier 2 Dungeon] This was all said on the topic named [Bringer of Chaos Theory]. Despite it being a theory, Feuer instantly thought things made sense but still couldn''t understand ''Just why is chaos approaching and who''ll be its bringer?'' he thought before resuming his reading. Meanwhile, on the strongest Empire of the [Enith] continent, a man in a black-colored hood stood inside an enormous Palace that appears to be made of pure gold as he held a small baby on his hands, the baby had small horns on his forehead, showing his status as a demon, however, there was something different on him, different from normal demon, his skin was just like an ordinary human, his innocent red-colored eyes stared around curiously before he suddenly ''''slept'''' as the man holding him tapped his small, fragile neck lightly. The man in a black-colored hood kneeled with one knee while still holding the baby on his hand before saying to a handsome man with pitch black-colored hair and light brown-colored eyes using golden-colored clothing with many patterns on it, looking as if a dragon was dancing through it ''''Your Highness, the mission was a success, the Demon King first, newborn son was successfully capture...'''' the hooded man voice was cold as ice, as if he didn''t have any emotions at all. The one he called ''Your Highness'' simply smiled before signaling for the hooded man to leave, leaving the baby on his hands ''''Oh, I wonder what benefits having you in my hands would give me, little boy?'''' he said as his smile widened slightly. Chaos was slowly but surely having its roots planted. 34 Bringer of Chaos 2 ''According to what my men said, they kidnapped this boy when they accidentally saw the Demon Empress giving birth on a forest, this is odd, however, this also means she was trying to hide this boy from the world, they say a Demon is at extreme weakness is when they give birth yet only one of my men returned...'' The handsome black-haired man said as a cold glint appeared on his face. ''The Demon Empress was confirmed dead, it will probably take two to three months before the Demon King realize, then, I can threaten him with the boy so he''ll give me what I want, if it doesn''t work, I can at least delay him for months, if things go wrong, I''ll only need to give back the boy and pay a little price...'' He thought as his eyes narrowed slightly, he had already prepared if anything went wrong, alas, how could he know that because of that, his life would be doomed? Meanwhile, Feuer finished reading as he thought out loud ''''Isn''t this the cause and effect? A random bastard does some sh*t and everyone life''s f*cked up, how nice...'''' but quickly, he shut up because many people stared at him as they said at the same time ''''Shhh!'''' He felt slightly annoyed since they also made a sound as they said it on sync ''''Shhh nothing, shhh you...'''' he said before standing up and going away, not caring about the relatively hateful stares he received by the people reading around him. ''I feel an ominous feeling...'' He thought before saying on his mind ''''Gaia, from now on, you''re the Phoenix Guide System and you will be called Fenix, hn, so, Fenix, do you have any information about what Bringer of Chaos means? Don''t state the obvious, please...'''' he said on his mind while directly changing the Gaia System name to Fenix, he liked it because it simply meant Phoenix on a different language. [As you wish, master, from now on, I''ll be called Fenix, the theory Bringer of Chaos is actually correct because the Dungeons indeed power up from the chaos that is approaching, the one that created that theory simply thought it was a good name for the theory but it has a meaning: It is as you said, cause and effect, chaos only appear when a huge conflict will happen, the conflict can last for a second, a minute, a day, a month or even a year, it depends on how it will develop] Fenix, officially liking its new name, said before continuing [Generally, it only happens when a strong figure provokes another strong figure from opposite factions like when the Human Race repeatedly provoked the Demon Race many years ago, I''m not able to trace the source of chaos, I only have this information for unknown reasons even for myself] It said, despite it sounding emotionless, Feuer could actually it had a helpless expression on it through that last sentence. He decided to test the Observe of the system, he looked towards a relatively big stone and said on his mind ''''Observe...'''' [Item: Medium Stone] Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. [Resistance: Extremely Low] [Information: A random, medium-sized stone randomly picked by Master to be observed] This was the information shown ''''How do you judge something resistance?'''' he said on his mind while a guess was already made before it was confirmed by Fenix [It is judged through your ability, for example, you have the ability to crush that Medium Stone easily so it was labeled as Extremely Low, a Mountain would have been judged as Extremely High, which means it is possible for you to do damages on it but you can''t crush it with your current strength yet.] It said with its usual genderless and emotionless tone. ''Such a convenient thing, well, at least now I know I can''t crush a mountain, what was how Wuxia novels described it? Oh, I remember, it was something like ''Crushing mountains and separating rivers'', I guess? Don''t remember, well, it will probably have a saying like that on the [Chnith] continent, well, probably...'' Feuer thought while remembering the overbearing words those novels he had read back then, he kinda liked it. Meanwhile, Auroria Kingdom, Royal Palace, Heinz and Celia were standing in front of the King, also known as Uncle Ale, as Heinz said ''''Ale, I came to discuss seriously with you, about me and Celia...'''' Uncle Ale face sunk but didn''t interrupt him, Heinz continued ''''I''m here to officially propose Celia, the person I fell deeply in love with, to marry with me, for that, I need your approval, her brother approval!'''' he said, his eyes staring directly onto Ale eyes. Celia saw her brother hesitant face and added ''''Brother, I also fell in love with Heinz, I request your approval to our engagement!'''' What she didn''t know was that Ale was actually thinking ''First my daughter fall in love with his son and now my sister fall in love with my sworn brother, oh, my Holy and pure God, I need your guidance...'' he thought before sighing ''Well, I have known Heinz for decades, he won''t treat my sister bad, I can see through their eyes they''re deeply in love, I just wonder if that rascal will treat my daughter well too...'' While Uncle Ale indeed has known the boy since he was born, he isn''t sure if the boy will become a playboy that play with a girl heart, who knows? Besides, he hadn''t even considered the fact that Diana may not even be accepted, he''s confident about his daughter but also deeply worried. ''''Sigh... I, the King, Heinz sworn brother and Celia brother, officially approve your marriage, it will happen in a month!'''' Uncle Ale announced as he saw Heinz and Celia''s expression changing to extreme happiness as they hugged each other ''''Ok, you''re approved but don''t dare to hug, kiss or take advantage of my sister in front of me, bastard!'''' Ale said as the happy couple quickly separated. ''My sister perfect and never tainted image was tainted...'' Uncle Ale thought while feeling sad that the sister he was so overprotective was taken, he doesn''t have any other affection aside from brotherly love but he still feels bitter, thinking his sister will forget him. Celia, of course, saw his reaction and smiled slightly ''''Brother, even if I were to leave the Kingdom, I would never leave you, you''re my dear brother, after all, don''t worry, this just means you''ll have nephews and our family will be closer than ever!'''' she said, Ale imagined the image of cute, little nephews running around his Royal Palace. ''I guess I''ll approve it...'' The tsundere King hesitantly thought to himself while imagining cute nephews. 35 Marriage 1 Bombastic news was sent through the entire Kingdom like Fire that met gasoline, commoners gossiped among themselves ''''I didn''t even know there was a Princess aside from Her Highness Diana Eis, to think that the King had a sister and she''ll marry the famous Flake Clan Leader, Heinz Flake, I heard what happened to his wife around 10 years ago, such a pity...'''' one of them said as a female joined the conversation. The female sighed bitterly ''''I have always dreamed of marrying him, I saw him once and fell in love with his majestic figure that gave a noble aura, sigh...'''' immediately, another female said ''''It''s indeed a pity we don''t have any chance anymore but we must admit that only a princess like Her Highness Celia is fit to marry someone like him...'''' The female said as many others, at the side, nodded while feeling bitter, then, one of them added ''''The marriage will happen in a week, I guess they are really anxious to marry...'''' The females felt envy towards Celia for marrying Heinz while the males felt envy towards Heinz due to the females only having eyes for him, however, they didn''t complain because be it in appearance, strength or talent, the Clan Leader is obviously much better, it''s like comparing a precious and shiny gem to ordinary stone, there''s simply no way the ordinary stone will be able to compete with the gem. Meanwhile, on a big courtyard, Luar was fighting against Feuer, that fought against his friend with an easy-going expression, Luar used his palms to attack as the dark golden-haired youngster sidestepped and used two of his fingers to hit his friend arm ''''Your stance is wrong, you''re attacking in a hurry, you''re not controlling your breathing well, you may be a mage but in cases where your opponent manages to get near you before your Magic is done, you''ll need to fight in close combat...'''' Feuer said while pointing out every flaw Luar showed. Feuer himself is a master of martial arts, the effort he had put was enormous and so was his talent, his strength was, however, limited by his inability to cultivate or use magic, despite helping his friend with knowledge, pointing the flaws through a fight was the best thing, he thought. ''''Huff... Huff...'''' Luar breathed heavily before he said ''''Buddy... huff, you''re really strong, we''re on equal realms but to think I can not even touch your clothes, the disparity is simply too huge, anyway, I feel that I''m... huff, nearing my advance, training with you is really a beneficial thing, I''ll go into reclusion, thanks for today!'''' then, Luar went away to his home direction. Coupled with his near-perfect memory, he knows basically everything about human anatomy, suddenly, he felt an opportunity presented itself to him as he rushed all Mana within his body to temper his internal organs, Feuer ignored the pain of tempering it, not even flinching, a small smile appeared on his face. However, as a few minutes passed, Feuer realized his progress stopped and then, he blurted out ''''I don''t have enough Mana, little piece of sh*t, sucking all of my Mana...'''' That is right, most of Mana he absorbed and used on his cultivation was being sucked by the golden-colored Phoenix, that blinked its eyes innocently as its head tilted to the side confusedly, Feuer could feel it was thinking ''Did I do something wrong, master?'', his eyes softened before he said on his mind ''''Look, I know you like to eat my Mana but you need to understand that the more I get stronger, the more Mana you can get, what about that, I can give half of the Mana I absorb daily and use half of it to get stronger, I can also simply give you Mana Stones, good deal, isn''t it?'''' The golden-colored Phoenix, his Elemental Spirit, nodded in a simple manner, Feuer got to know it actually is male, it was absorbing nearly 90% of his Mana before, which makes sense since Feuer, don''t take it as he being arrogant but he''s sure that if not 90% of his Mana being sucked by his Elemental Spirit, he would have already advanced to High Martial Body & High Spiritual Manifestation a week ago, he only noticed it now, though. ''Why didn''t I noticed it before? Maybe I was distracted? No wonder my estimates were wrong of my advances, it was actually the little guy absorbing Mana, I never heard of someone being born directly with an Elemental Spirit, though. Feuer went to the Kingdom Church, whose they believe in the Holy God, which is really a God, one of the Creator Gods, however, the lack of his information on the Kingdom means they believe in him but don''t know he actually exists nor did they know about his status, he entered it and saw instantly many people working on making decorations. However, he felt uncomfortable, he looked to a statue, the one they hail as the Holy God, Feuer felt extremely uncomfortable, as if it was staring directly onto his being, however, he removed his look naturally after staring, if there were really someone staring at him, faking that he didn''t notice it was the best thing to do. The decorations were of course for his father and Celia marriage, Nobles and Royalty marries on the Church as a sign that they want the Holy God approval, complete bullsh*t if Feuer himself had to give his opinion, he nodded in satisfaction after seeing the beautiful decorations before he left.

What he didn''t notice was that a light-colored glow appeared for a brief moment on the ''Holy God'' statue as ''it'' stared on his back before disappearing. 36 Marriage 2 A man in a black suit was looking at Feuer worriedly, it was the type of clothing the fiancees would use at their wedding in his previous life, the man is obviously Heinz, that said ''''Son... I''m nervous, this is the second time I marry but this doesn''t take my anxiety out, what if Celia suddenly decides to reject me?!'''' Feuer facepalmed but felt it was rather fun - [Observe], he thought on his mind as Heinz information appeared on his mind. [Name: Heinz Flake] [Race: Human] [Age: 41 Years Old] [Bloodline: Human (100% Purity)] [Mage Realm: Peak Spiritual Lotus] [Status: Extremely Worried] [Information: Born as the Flake Clan ''Young Master'' and hailed as the greatest genius of the Clan entire story, his only rival till now was Ale Eis, whom he lost due to a moment of distraction when he saw his first love, Ayao, whom he had a son that he deeply cares, he fell in love with Celia Eis, who''s also deeply in love with him] ''''Wow, such convenient thing that [Observe] is...'''' Feuer said on his mind, all of this only happened in 0.1 seconds, turning his attention to his father, he said ''''No need to worry, I know that you''re worried but look, I''m an emotion master and I know that Celia loves you just like you love her, no need to worry, just make sure to work hard and give me a younger brother or sister, young man.'''' Somehow, this reassured his father, whose mood turned a completely 360¡ã as a happy smile appeared on his face ''''Emotion master, huh? I doubt you''re one, haha...'''' Feuer felt his pride as an emotion master was severely wounded by his father but he just smiled since his objective, that is, removing all the worry his father is feeling, was completed ''''Well, good thing you''re happy now, now, let''s go, you still need the ''Holy God'' approval, don''t you?'''' Feuer said with slight sarcasm, there''s no sense for a Holy God to be hailed as a ''God'' when they are not even sure ''he'' or ''she'' does exist... Heinz, however, hadn''t noticed his sarcasm and said ''''Yeah, I hope the ''Holy God'' approves our wedding, that way, I''m sure that the children we may have will be safe, no matter what happens, there''s a rumor that if the ''Holy God'' gives his blessing to a couple, their children will be the so-called Hero, the Holy Child!'''' ''Hm... I hope my future brother or sister isn''t the Hero, always forcing their broken sense of justice on others, never liked them, anyway...'' Feuer thought as his face was kept emotionless, the marriage would happen in a few minutes, Heinz already had to go to the altar to wait for Celia. A few minutes passed and Celia entered the stage, the classic marriage song started to play, something Feuer wanted to do, it was slightly modified because it was the one his parents always loved to hear on the day they married, year after year. Sensing someone looking at his stepmother with slight lust, Feuer looked and noticed it was coming from the Bishop, narrowing his eyes slightly as it glowed in a golden color, Feuer sent his voice through a condensed, invisible line of Mana to the Bishop''s ears ''''If you dare to look like that to my father woman again, I''ll make sure that you won''t be able to use your small and tiny thing, if you got it, just nod your head slightly...'''' Feuer said as his pressure looked as if it were to crush the Bishop mercilessly. The Bishop nodded his head slightly as Feuer instructed him, his eyes didn''t have even a bit of lust anymore, only fear, cold sweat going down his back, Celia arrived on the altar and looked straight at Heinz''s eyes, waiting for the Bishop to start his speech ''''Here, on the eyes of everyone, Heinz Flake, dignified Flake Clan Leader and Celia Eis, noble Princess of the Kingdom, are about to marry, Heinz Flake, do you accept Celia Eis as your wife till your death, who will stay with you through sickness and poverty?'''' The Bishop said in a dignified tone. ''''Yes!'''' Heinz said as the Bishop continued ''''Celia Eis, do you accept Heinz Flake as your husband till your death, who will stay with you through sickness and poverty?'''' Celia didn''t hesitate as she said at the same instant ''''Yes, I do!'''' Then, the Bishop said ''''With the approval of the ''Holy God'', you may kiss each other!'''' as he said that, Heinz and Celia kissed each other, a sudden phenomenon happened as rays of Lights descended from above as a pleasing humming sound was heard, as if Angels were singing in pure happiness. Kneeling on the ground, the Bishop said continuously ''''May the ''Holy God'' bless our soul...'''' Feuer, however, had a different reaction as his expression changed ''Such pure Light Element, mine can''t even compare to part of it, Holy God... a blessing... Fenex, observe Celia, please...'' he thought. [Name: Celia Eis] [Race: Angel] [Age: 40 Years Old] [Bloodline: Angel (100% Purity)] [Mage Realm: High Spiritual Lotus] [Status: Pregnant] PS: It''s a boy. [Information: She''s an Angel just like her brother and nephews, their mission is unknown but they created this Kingdom around three hundred years ago, through generations, they eventually lost their true origins knowledge, thinking they''re Humans, she''s deeply in love with Heinz Flake and cares deeply about his son, wanting to give him motherly love] Feuer only thought was ''Holy f*ck, literally...'' before he thought a bit more ''Just why there are such things here? A lost loli that is actually an old Divine Phoenix, Angels and a Holy God, also the fact I have one of the Five Creator Gods Bloodline, this sounds so cliche, man...''

''I''m sorry for invading your privacy but I felt it was too suspicious, no wonder the so-called Holy God gave his blessing, wait, she''s PREGNANT, wait even more, I''ll have a younger brother, well, at least I won''t need to worry about some rascal trying to get my sis, so... my brother is the Hero?'' Feuer thought before adding a new part to his thoughts ''I''ll make sure he''s not a self-centered Hero that forces his ideals of Justice on another person, hn...'' He wanted to say more but Feuer found himself speechless, even so, a happy smile appeared on his face as his father''s marriage was a success and also the fact that they''re happy, oh, don''t forget about him getting a younger brother. 37 Disaster 1 ''Fenex, confirm something for me, how is it possible that she''s an Angel? It doesn''t make sense, over time, their bloodline would have been diluted, right? At least, her race would be half-human-half-angel...'' Feuer thought, feeling slightly confused. [Master, of all existent races, there are two races that unless something special happens, won''t ever be diluted: Angel Race and Demon Race] Fenex said with its genderless and emotionless tone before continuing [For example: The baby that will be born of Master stepmother received the blessing of an unknown being, thus, there''s the possibility that he''s Half-Human-Half-Angel, I''m not sure of why this happens.] Fenex said as Feuer nodded slightly, he guessed it must be something about them being made by the Holy and Demon God respectively, representing Holiness and Wickedness. Feuer, however, just guessed that, he doesn''t think all Demons are wicked, evil and unholy, this only means their skin color is of various colors, they have horns and that their main attribute is darkness ''Well, humans will always try to say bad things about beings they don''t understand and that they fear...'' Meanwhile, Ale was looking from a chair towards the happy couple leaving to have their special time together ''Celia is already pregnant... When the kid is born, she''ll probably be curious about our race, hm?'' he thought while sensing a faint Life Force inside his sister ''They could have waited for the marriage, though...'' he sighed but felt happy that his sister husband is Heinz. Suddenly, he looked towards the horizon ''What''s this ominous feeling? Chaos will rise...'' Ale shivered, the Angel race is sensitive to chaos, he felt disaster would strike but doesn''t know where and when.

Feuer was thinking silently while on his way to his house when suddenly, his instincts kicked in as he moved instantly, appearing behind the attacker and putting him down on the ground, sweating slightly, the attacker said ''''Oy oy, calm down, buddy, it''s me, Luar!'''' ''''Oh, sorry, I was distracted and feeling danger, I thought it was assassins, this happened a lot currently, none able to do anything to me, though...'''' Feuer said while remembering the face of the assassins when he captured them and removed their mask before ''talking'' with them slowly. ''''Yeah, one day I''ll leave the Kingdom and go to explore so that I can gather knowledge and get stronger!'''' Luar said his dream as he always does to Feuer, he remembered something ''''Now that I think about it, we''ll be able to take on missions from the Academy, such nice thing!'''' Feuer nodded before saying ''''Can you show me the Elemental Armor? I''m nearing my advance, look, it covers almost all of my arm but not all...'''' The so-called Elemental Armor isn''t purely using the element to cover your arm, rather, you need to solidify it, it sounds totally like an absurd ''A world of Magic defy the logic, after all, physics? What''s that, can it be eaten?'' Feuer thought funnily, the fact of solidifying Fire, Light and Darkness sounded like an absurd for him when he got to know about it. ''''Though, how did you advance so fast? It should have taken like, one more month, I guess?'''' Feuer said as Luar smirked ''''I learned something, I only need to ask my Elemental Spirit to do what I wish with my element and grasp the feeling, such a good cheat, don''t ya think?'''' he said. ''Holy cow, he has a real-life cheat!'' Feuer thought as his eyes widened slightly but felt happy for his friend, then, Luar arm visibly showed a fiery color as an armor made of solidified Fire was made, covering his entire arm ''''See? I don''t even need his help for many things, all Magics I know currently, I don''t need him, I can condense it almost instantly without even chanting, just like you, it feels like a cheat for me, though...'''' he said while feeling his talent is low. ''''You don''t need to care about that, buddy. Elemental Spirit is the manifestation of your Spirit and principally a sentient Elemental Spirit, this only means your talent is hella high, your Elemental Spirit skills are also your skills!'''' Feuer comforted his friend, knowing he was down. Luar nodded ''''Thanks!'''' he said as a smile appeared on his face, Feuer then said ''''I feel like I''ll advance... I will go back to my home, cya!'''' Before Luar could reply, Feuer had already disappeared from his place ''''Tche, always showing off like that...'''' he said out loud before also going to his home. Meanwhile, Feuer had already arrived at his home and went straight to his room before he suddenly thought ''Hmmm, I''m lazy to train right now, that''s right, gonna visit Diana and Alex, they invited me yesterday, almost forgot because of my father marriage, well, that''s it!'' [Master, you''re indecisive...] Fenex suddenly said on his mind, the first time it actually started a conversation, its voice was still genderless and emotionless but Feuer felt it was trying to joke. ''''I guess so, well, it happens sometimes, you know, there are times I''m going to do something and I suddenly decide not or I go to a room and realize that I entered the wrong one, happens some times...'''' Feuer said before speeding up, he greeted the guards that were obviously guarding the Royal Palace, they let him enter the Royal Palace while bowing slightly, Feuer doesn''t need permission anymore since he''s now a Prince. Yes, with his father marrying the Princess, both of them became a Prince, smiling slightly, Feuer entered the Royal Palace and went directly to Alex room before knocking on the door, hurried footsteps were heard as the door was opened. 38 Disaster 2 Alex opened the door and said as he saw Feuer ''''Oh, you arrived! I was waiting for you, my room isn''t cleaned yet, my Royal Father ordered me to clean it...'''' ''''Well, no worry, I can help ya!'''' Feuer said while smiling, remembering how the parents of his previous life always wanted him to clean his own room but quickly shook his head before being at full speed, the world seemed slow on Feuer''s vision as rays of light followed him. ''''W-W-What....'''' Alex''s mouth was wide open, he couldn''t even see Feuer with his speed, however, what surprised him the most was his room, it was cleaned, no trace of dust could be seen, mustering his most serious face, he said ''''Feuer... do you want to be a Royal Butler? I can pay you a high amount of money...'''' Feuer had to hold his laughter ''''Pfft... I''m good like I''m right now, this was just a convenience, say, do you know a game named World War? No, well, no worry, I can help, it was a game I developed, here!'''' he said while removing a box from his bag, there was a beautiful ''World War'' carved on the box center. ''''Woooah, what is that? It seems so cool!'''' Alex said as sparkles quickly appeared around him but Feuer ignored, smiling slightly, he drove his friend into a game maniac.

Since then, some hours passed before another person entered the room, it was Diana, that felt curious as of why Alex was so serious about the game but when her eyes passed through Feuer, her heart started to beat uncontrollably, she felt as if there were butterflies flying around her stomach, doing her best to keep a poker face, Diana said ''''U-uh, guys, what are you two doing?'''' Without looking at her, Alex said instantly ''''We''re playing a game that Feuer invented ''''World War'''', this is simply too cool, come, we can teach you to play!'''' Diana was feeling extremely shy of sitting next to Feuer but as some minutes passed, sparkles appeared around her just like it did to Alex as she learned about the game, her shyness disappeared as they started to play, soon, Feuer said with a small smile ''''Heh, I completed my objective, conquer the entire [Dnith] continent, it''s my win!'''' ''Oh, damn... I know these eyes, I received many of it, girl, you need to be at least 18 to enter my humble sight...'' Feuer thought and pretended that he didn''t see her stare, not being narcissistic but he had received many stares like that on his previous life, he''s not dense. Still, Feuer pretended not to notice it and said, faking his surprise ''''Huh, Diana, are you with a fever?'''' ''''Feuer, you idiot!!!!'''' Diana yelled before running away as Feuer thought ''Ah, the classic anime scene... Sigh, at least this is real life, I think I''ll do this more times, it''s actually very fun, wait, maybe the dense anime protagonist did this on purpose?! Holy crap!'' his eyes widened while thinking they''re geniuses. Alex looked confusedly at Diana before saying ''''What happened to her? You just said she had a fever and she ran? Is she an idiot or something? I think her brain degenerated...'''' he sighed. ''''Who knows, Alex, who knows...'''' Feuer feigned ignorance before bidding farewell, it''s already night, this was a good day, he thought to himself as a small, almost unnoticeable but genuine smile appeared on his face. Feuer decided to stay all night training, since then, a month passed. The many Kingdoms at the border of the [Enith] were on a constant fight, chaos was rising more and more, Magical Beasts were getting relentless as Beast Tides were more and more frequent. Aurorial Kingdom, Royal Palace. Four Royal Guards kneeled in front of Ale as one of them, seemingly the leader of them, said ''''Your Highness, there had been many strange activities regarding the Beasts, many Beast Tides attacked some of the cities and towns under our control, this can only be the signal of a bad omen!'''' Ale frowned slightly while thinking of the ominous feeling he felt before saying ''''Send reinforcements to the cities and towns attacked recently, only send the necessary, I feel a war will be coming, we can''t send unnecessary amounts of soldiers...'''' ''''As you wish, Your Highness!'''' The four of them said in sync before they went to the Army Headquarters. The soldiers were grouped together in a place and saluted the Army Commander, that started to talk ''''Listen attentively, many of you are already know about the situation around the Kingdom, many Kingdoms are falling every day due to wars and Beast Tides, we can''t let that happen, now, who know what is the objective of the army?!'''' He shouted at the last part. ''''To protect the Kingdom, sir!'''' The soldiers shouted in response. ''''And what is our mission currently?!'''' The Army Commander yelled ''''To protect our domain, sir!'''' the soldiers yelled back before the groups marched towards different directions. After a long time, something that was unknown for many citizens of the Aurorial Kingdom, resurged, it was fear, fear of what would come and fear of the rising, unstoppable chaos. Like that, eight more months passed as Beast Tides attacked more and more, cities and towns were being decimated to nothing but ruins, many missions were being made and taken on the Aurora Kingdom, a certain youngster with dark golden-colored hair and his friends took one. [Mission: Bandit Groups are attacking recently due to the chaos the Kingdom currently is, one of them destroyed one of our Towns and dominated it, the Kingdom can''t send soldiers as they''re fighting against Beast Tides and recently, Demons that suddenly started to attack, their attacks are becoming stronger and stronger, the request is to get rid of that Bandit Group - Payment: 4 Platinum Coins] This was the Mission Banner content as it stated the Bandit Group information, like that, the four left the Kingdom, not knowing the danger approaching it. 39 Disaster 3 Feuer younger brother was about to be born and he was too nervous to see it so he decided to help the Kingdom ''''You nervous, buddy? Don''t worry, it''s not like the Kingdom will be attacked or there''ll have a problem with Aunty!'''' Luar said, trying to relieve Feuer''s mood. ''''Yeah, this is true!'''' Feuer said, feeling that it was probably true, his anxiousness made him forget that a flag had been unintentionally raised. ''''Anyway, the information I got is that the Bandits we will kill today is: They''re named White Wolf Bandits, they''re the strongest Bandits around the Kingdoms nearby, their leader being at Peak of Spiritual Lotus, however, dealing with him won''t be a problem since we have Feuer, even though you weren''t able to train all the time and every day due to you taking care of your stepmother, your strength is now invincible within our Kingdom...'''' Alex said as Diana, at the side, nodded, Feuer was taking care of his stepmother almost all the time and neglected his own training, of course, he''s not stupid and stopped training, he was just overprotective, over the months, he saw how much Celia loved their family and saw his mother image on her, thus, Feuer saw her as his mother even though he never admitted it. Despite that, his realm on both Body and Spirit path advanced to: Lotus Core and Spiritual Core respectively, for one to advance to this realm, they first need to complete the Petal Strengthening and Spiritual Petals respectively, condensing 20 petals on the Martial/Spiritual Lotus realm. They would be 5, 10 and 20 Petals for Low, High and Peak respectively, Diana added ''''Yeah, your talent is simply too terrifying, Feuer...'''' a small smile appeared on her delicate face, her shyness disappeared as more time passed, she discovered what she felt, it wasn''t simply physical attraction, she felt something more, love, something so familiar but also so strange to her. Feuer shook his head slightly ''''I can already see them, they were daring enough to make a fortress on the ruins of a Town that had fallen, such courageous act...'''' he said as Luar, Alex and Diana nodded, though they couldn''t see like Feuer, they could still notice how destroyed the Town was, from afar and the fortress made inside it. Then, he instructed ''''We will each go through one side, I and Diana will go through the left while both of you will go through the right side!'''' Alex and Luar nodded, if something wrong happened, at least Diana would be safe with Feuer, they knew the fate of a woman once they fall in the hands of a Bandit Group like the White Wolf Bandits. Diana nodded while feeling the faint cries and beggings of the woman inside the tower to stop, obviously, she was being r*ped, she felt furious but noticed that Feuer was completely angered, despite his poker face, she knew him enough to notice the faint change in his eyes and emotions. ''Don''t worry, fellow woman, I''ll at least avenge a part of you by killing the Bandit guarding the tower!'' Diana thought as a cold glint appeared in her eyes, going for the kill, the Bandit wasn''t strong at all so she killed him with a single, clean sword cut. Meanwhile, inside the small Tower, Feuer stood with his feet above the man, that had been killed easily by him, the woman looked at him with a lifeless expression, no trace of light in her eyes ''''Sir, I don''t have family nor does I have dignity anymore, I beg you... please, end my life!'''' Feuer felt a small pain in his heart seeing how hurt the woman felt, not only physically but also mentally, he said nothing as he approached the woman and hit the back of her neck with two of his fingers, knocking her out while sending a small trace of Fire inside her, that killed her instantly in a painless manner ''I don''t even feel anything about this anymore...'' He thought, remembering all the horrible things he saw on this world while taking on missions, this, however, made him dull to killing, if before he felt a slight guilt when ending the life of someone that begged him to do so and they weren''t evil, he now did as they wished him to do it, maybe dull wasn''t right, Feuer blocked the feeling of guilt deep inside his heart, this was, however, a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment with the slight provocation. They then proceeded to assassinate every Bandit at their side without anyone noticing any strangeness, after some time, Alex and Luar arrived, both of them had some cuts on their body but nothing worth mentioning ''''We did it, there were four strong dudes, they were all at Peak Martial Body, it seems the ones at your side weren''t strong, huh, there''s only the leader left!'''' Luar said while smiling slightly. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Just then, an angered yell was heard ''''You brats! What the hell do ya punks think you''re doing on this one fortress?'''' it was a tall man with a hulking body that yelled, as his eyes passed through Diana, his eyes shone in lust before he said in a very ''''generous'''' manner ''''Little punks, leave the girl behind and I''ll spare your lives, what about that?'''' he smirked slightly while eying Diana lustfully. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain coming from his eyes ''''Don''t look at my friend with your dirty eyes again...'''' Feuer said before cutting the White Wolf Bandit Leader tongue with a sadistic smile ''''This is for having said unnecessary things!'''' ''I hadn''t noticed him approaching me, what magic is that?!'' The White Wolf Bandit leader thought but couldn''t talk anymore as he lost his tongue, before he could react, Feuer kicked his crotch ''''This is for the fact you r*ped someone and this... is for existing!'''' he said before cutting the White Wolf Bandit leader head, he felt disgusted just from seeing him, not even worth a long torture. Just then, rays of lights suddenly shot from the Aurorial Kingdom directly towards the sky, Feuer''s eyes widened as he said ''''Everyone... hold on me, we need to go back to the Kingdom, now!'''' 40 Disaster 4 Rays of light shot from the Aurorial Kingdom directly towards the sky, it was a phenomenon that no matter which part of the [Enith] continent you were, you would notice it, it did as a certain person with two horns that curved from his forehead to the back of his head, his skin is the same as an ordinary human, however, his hair color being white and eyes red as blood. ''''The Hero has been born...'''' The person said as a cold glint appeared on his eyes before he ordered to a strong man at his side ''''I, the Demon King, order you, Raza, to kill the newborn Hero, now!'''' the man at his side also had humanoid form but his skin was of a different color, pure black, this is one of the Demon Commanders - Raza, Bringer of Darkness. Each Demon Commander has a title that says Bringer of their certain element, Raza being the Bringer of Darkness, he bowed respectfully before disappearing, they were near the Aurorial Kingdom but weren''t bothered to destroy it due to its weakness. A wicked, sadistic smile appeared on Raza''s face as he said while looking at the source of the rays of light, the Hero that had just been born, this isn''t the first time it happened, the Demon King was a tyrant but not full evil, however, he isn''t kind, as soon as a Hero is born, he orders the nearest Commander to kill him if the Hero isn''t born at a strong Kingdom, this time, Raza was looking at a man and a woman, the woman, apparently, died as soon as the Hero was born. The man was guarding the Newborn Hero, Raza smile widened as he said out loud ''''I smell... angels, HAHAHA!'''' his laughter full of madness as he continued ''''To think I met the breed of an Angel and a Human, I''ll slowly torture the father of Human race, too bad the woman died, she had a nice figure, I wonder how an Angel would taste!'''' As if he teleported, Raza appeared beside the human, that looked at him warily ''''Greetings, human, don''t worry, as long as you don''t do anything, I''ll kill only the baby, I won''t kill you if you stay here...!'''' The puny human was merely at Peak Spiritual Lotus, Raza had disdain but the orders of His Highness were purely to kill the Hero, only if the humans interfered that he would kill them, suddenly, another human, no... he had a different smell ''''Angel... HAHAHA, to think I would meet not only one but two, however, my business isn''t with you, back away!'''' ''''Heinz, my friend, we''re brothers, if you or your offspring dies, we die together!'''' The Angel said as a holy aura enveloped him, a golden-colored halo appeared above his head while a pair of pure white-colored wings were spread from his back. Heinz smirked as he said, he already knew about his sworn brother race and bloodline ''''Ale, like our old days, let''s hold, as soon as Feuer arrives, that damned Demon is done for!'''' Endless pressure was sent to Heinz and Ale, however, they ignored it as similarly, a mist made of their respective elements was spread around them, one being red-colored and the other being white-colored, bringing an offensive and holy aura respectively, Raza noticed what they''re doing and decided to finish things fast, however, he stopped in the midst of his attack as Heinz appeared beside him ''''You''re not going to do anything!'''' he said as he raised his hands, a huge sphere made of Fire appeared above his hand. As he said that, the Fire Sphere descended as Ale also attacked with a Magic that Feuer taught him ''''Particles and Photons of Light, hear my call - Condense and burn my enemy with your pure, untainted holiness, Holy Beam!'''' he chanted as the Light Element condensed in what looked like a long cylinder before it shot towards Raza. Both attacks suddenly merged as it enveloped Raza''s entire being, smoke raised in the air as both Heinz and Ale fell to the ground, breathing heavily ''''It seems we could only burn our bloodline and attack one time, at least we managed to kill the damned Demon, huff...'''' Heinz said while smiling lightly. Ale was just about to talk but then, they heard a deep, amused voice filled with killing intent ''''So you thought that by merely tricking me and catching me off my guard would be able to kill me, huh? HAHAHA!'''' The Bringer of Darkness laughed with complete madness as Heinz and Ale despaired, they couldn''t move! ''''I would kill the Newborn Hero in front of both of you but I decided to play with you...'''' A sadistic smile appeared on Raza''s face as he slowly approached Ale and Heinz before he held them on a wall of a house that had some parts destroyed, he didn''t come alone, though he couldn''t freely kill Humans due to the orders, his subordinates were a different thing, they were bringing chaos to the entire Kingdom as it was full of ruins. Then, Raza claw pierced the stomach of both Heinz and Ale but they only smirked before the Bringer of Darkness suddenly injected his Darkness inside of them through their stomach, it was different than normal Darkness, it had a bit of poison, it was slowly burning them from their insides, they couldn''t help but scream in pain ''''AAAAAH!'''' they yelled but nothing could be done. The torture kept going before their voices disappeared due to all their screaming, soon, their eyes lose more and more light before the sworn brothers died, as they said, they died together as true brothers would, feeling bored, Raza threw their dead bodies to the side as if they were trash, his smile disappeared as killing intent was sent in the air as he approached the Newborn Hero. A voice full of killing intent was heard ''''Don''t dare to touch my younger brother with your filthy hands!'''' ''''A new object of torture?'''' Raza said while smiling amusedly, Feuer arrived on the scene, as soon as he noticed the Bringer of Darkness, he said for his friends to run away, they wanted to go with him but he said that this was something he had to do, of course, it was a lie, he just knew this was the only way to keep them safe. However, as Feuer arrived on the scene, he saw the dead bodies of Heinz, Ale and Celia, his mind turned blank for a moment before it was full of chaotic thoughts ''Why? Why? Why? Why? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?'' this thought kept popping on his mind before the time-bomb that was blocked and hidden deep within his head exploded. Tears of blood dripped down Feuer''s cheeks as his heart started to beat faster and faster, louder and louder, suddenly, it came to an end as the sky of the entire [Mortal Zenith] world turned dark, the screech of a Phoenix full of sadness, madness and killing intent was heard.

''''W-W-What''s this Darkness element?'''' Raza said while trying his best to evade it by spreading his own, however, the wave was unstoppable and soon, it arrived on him ''''GAAAAAAH!'''' he screamed in pain as he saw the skin he was so proud of its defenses slowly falling from his body, black fluids came out of his fallen skin, obviously, he was bleeding after his skin fell. A voice, sinister and dark as the cold and merciless night, filled with killing intent, was heard on Raza''s ears as his body shivered, fear filling his whole being ''''???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????????????, ????????????? ????????????''???? ????????????????????, ???? ????????????''???? ???????????????? ????????????, ????''???????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ????????????????, ???????????????????????????? ????????????????...!'''' Suddenly, all of the waves of Death Element and the strange golden-colored Flame that had turned all of the Kingdom into nothing but dust condensed and covered Raza entire body ''''AAAAAARH!!!'''' he screamed as the pain was unbearable, even for someone like him, that had been tortured before. A few minutes passed as all left was his uncovered meat, black fluids flowing down endlessly, his voice was lifeless as his eyes were losing its light, he said weakly ''''J-Just kill me already, I beg you..'''' However, a strange thing happened, a white-greenish aura enveloped his body as his lost skin recovered, all of his injuries vanished like nothing ''''???????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ????????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????, ????''???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ????????????''???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???? ???????????????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ????????????...'''' A towering beast was on the sky, it was a Phoenix, different from ordinary ones, being orange or red, the Phoenix was different, it had the size of a mountain and it had different coloration, being an eye-catching gold color, however, its wings were dark gold and the Phoenix eyes were a beautiful shade of silver with white-colored highlights, it was hard for one to imagine a creature with such godly features talking with a voice full of killing intent, looking like a Demon that came from the depths of hell. ''''W-W-W-What the heck are you?!'''' The Bringer of Darkness asked while shuttering and all he saw was the majestic Phoenix open a wide but wicked smile as a sudden rush of pain attacked him, his skin was being corroded once again, this process happened for a few times before Raza mind was blank, nothing but the mindless beast the Phoenix predicted him to become. ''''????????????????????????????, ???????????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????...'''' The majestic Phoenix said before its body suddenly changed as it landed on the ground, the image of a youngster with godly features could be seen, it was Feuer. His previously dark golden-colored hair changed, it was now a beautiful shade of light golden, the cause of it being unknown. [1] Feuer was unconscious on the ground, holding the Newborn Hero tightly, the baby was unaware of what was happening but his eyes looked around curiously before he saw Feuer unconscious figure, involuntarily, tears formed on his tiny eyes before he slept peacefully. Suddenly, a soul came out of Feuer body as the soul, identified as a female, looked quietly at the unconscious youngster before she said ''''I prepared this ''Soul Will'' in case the boy rejected my will, however, this isn''t all... with my Universe Prying Eyes, I can see someone destiny, I wouldn''t be dumb to pass one of the strongest bloodlines that lose only to the Five Creator Gods bloodline just because he''s kind, even shortening my death...'''' Identified as the Phoenix Loli, she continued ''''The boy... he''s destined for greater things, greater than what everyone has done, I couldn''t see it clearly but I know he''ll avenge what the wicked Witch Race has done to me... he has a good heart...'''' Then, she added ''''A good heart... when tainted, it becomes a wicked heart, I can''t let my Heir be controlled by madness, I may not be able to remove it or remove your sadness and anger nor will I be able to maintain your good feelings forever, however, I may let you see that the world hadn''t ended..'''' With a satisfied smile, the Phoenix Loli hands glowed slightly as a small light entered Feuer''s mind, it was images of all the good memories.

There''s the [Continuous Nightmare Illusion] and there''s the [Continuous Sweet Memories], it shows the person affected all of that person''s best memories, the memories the person loves the most, with her body slowly fading away, the Phoenix Loli said ''''Awaken as the proud Phoenix you are, avenge yourself and myself, rise from the ashes...'''' she paused for a bit before completing ''''For you are my heir, the Heir of the Divine Phoenix!'''' As she said that, a smile of acceptance and joy appeared on the Phoenix Loli spiritual face as her body faded away completely. [A/N: I can see many saying this is cringe and well, for you, I only say one thing: I agree completely, I also think it is, indeed, cringe] Suddenly, the unconscious Feuer woke up as he looked around, his eyes didn''t have the usual kindness, his face was now cold as his eyes looked at the Kingdom indifferently, however, as his eyes passed through his Newborn brother, his gaze was gentle like calm water ''Not even my relatives bodies remained...'' he thought while feeling sadness and disappointment towards himself for doing it, an indescribable feeling of guilty assaulted his mind before he shrugged his shoulders. ''''There are new memories in my mind...'''' Feuer said, his voice cold like ice, he analyzed things calmly before he thought ''The commotion made was huge, I''m sure these hypocrites from higher-ranking Kingdoms will come to see what happened...'' Feuer then held his Newborn brother gently as he said ''''You weren''t named by our parents so I''ll do the honor, from now on, you''re D?mon Flake for you''ll be the Flames that burn all Demons, now, let''s go we have a long journey for a higher-ranking Kingdom, even if it means being with these hypocrites, I''ll give you the best environment to grow up...''''

Marie Antoinette Syndrome - The hair turns stark white after high amounts of emotional stress, in Feuer case, it lightened his hair color, turning from dark gold to light gold] [2. D?mon means Demon, Flake means Flames/Fire, D?mon Flake can mean Burning Demon, Flame that burns all Demons] 42 Awakening of a Phoenix 2 [My special thanks to ''n8'' for becoming my patron!] Somewhere in the Demon King Palace, a beautiful crystal that shone in a green color suddenly showed a crack, it was tiny but shortly after, multiple tiny cracks appeared, looking like a spider web, then, the crystal broke as its pieces fell to the ground. There was an old man with humanoid form, in his forehead appears to have two horns, each curving and its edges meeting each other, his hair and eyes had a stunning green color, alarmed, the old man disappeared from his place and appeared on the Demon King Throne Room, however, his King wasn''t here, the old man then took a transparent crystal from his pockets and sent a message through it, the transparent crystal is also known as [Communication Crystal] ''''Your Highness, it''s urgent, Lord Raza ''Vitality Crystal'' suddenly broke....'''' The old man paused before adding hesitantly ''''Lord Raza... died!'''' he said. In a Kingdom not so far away from Aurorial Kingdom that had just become dust, the Demon King received the message as his face sunk ''In that isolated Kingdom, there''s an expert that could kill Raza in such short amount of time? Is it related to the phenomenon that turned the sky dark? The expert probably ran away, I''ll go to check the situation...'' he thought while narrowing his bloody red-colored eyes, a faint bloodlust was sent through the air. The Demon King appeared on the Aurorial Kingdom in what seemed like teleport, his eyes widened as he saw the situation, he couldn''t help but think out loud ''''How is this possible? In such a short amount of time, a Kingdom, despite not being huge, became nothing but dust?! I need to go back to the [Dnith] continent fast, I''ll retreat, this is obviously a feat that a human couldn''t accomplish in a short amount of time...!'''' It''s obviously possible for the Demon King to destroy a Kingdom and make it nothing but dust, however, in such short amount of time it''s just impossible, the peak experts are currently at Spiritual Pillar or Tree Pillar, someone at this level could destroy a Kingdom in a short amount of time but they can''t turn it into dust in an instant as Feuer did after losing control.

''With such commotion, someone will come, I have to hide myself and my Younger Brother...'' With his body trembling after running for such long amount of time, Feuer thought as the sight of a forest with towering trees appeared on his mind, he didn''t had time to admire its beauty before he quickly dug a hole enough to fit himself and his younger brother D?mon, he took his shirt out and covered his younger brother with it to protect him from the cold air. Feuer used the remaining Mana he had to nurture his younger brother, though using the Mana to nurture wasn''t good as a woman breast milk as it doesn''t all of its nutrients, it will do the work while Feuer can''t recover and find a city before hiring a woman, his biological mother couldn''t breastfeed him due to her sickness so his father contracted a woman to do the job, there had some Gold Coins on his pocket, Feuer couldn''t count how much but it was a small pouch, after confirming there was money, he lost consciousness. Feuer vision was blurred and most his sight was blocked but right in front of some trees, there was a road, a carriage was passing by before a lady came out of it and looked at the tree both Feuer and his younger brother was, the lady wasn''t stunningly beautiful but she had a strange aura around her, as if the Mana around loved her and only her, it seemed to communicate with her. ''Why the Spirits want me to check on that tree so urgently?'' The Lady thought confusedly before appearing in front of the tree, she saw the shirtless Feuer holding a baby, apparently covered by his shirt, the Lady blushed after seeing his defined body, no trace of fat could be seen, his features seemed just so godly in her eyes, his beautiful light golden-colored hair brought her to wonder if it was natural. [1] The Lady''s hands moved unconsciously as she tried to touch Feuer abdomen, however, before she could do so, Feuer eyes suddenly opened as he held her hand and pushed her on the ground, his hand threatening to break her neck, he looked around cautiously before standing up and releasing the Lady, with eyes cold as ice and voice frozen as an iceberg, he said ''''Lady, it''s dangerous to touch a man when he''s sleeping, however, I apologize for doing such rude actions...'''' With narrowed eyes, the Lady said ''''I accept your apologies, I only came here because the Spirits told me to do so and that it was urgent, you seem to be in a bad situation, you may call me Layla Geist, I don''t want to see such cute baby like the one you were holding living in such bad situation, you can come with me'''' ''Such cold eyes, I wonder what happened for him to have eyes like that...'' She thought curiously while noticing the many scars on Feuer sculpted body, something he got from some missions he did months ago. Without a change in his expression, Feuer said ''''I hope you can take care of us then, Lady Layla...'''' then, he took his younger brother on his arms in a gentle manner before following Layla Geist, they arrived in front of a carriage, some of the men guarding it instantly said while feeling alarmed, they raised their weapons and pointed it to Feuer ''''Young Lady, who''s that man with you?!'''' ''''You may put your weapons down, the Spirits told me to help him, give him a shirt, he seems to be exhausted, he''ll rest inside the carriage!'''' She said as the guards wanted to complain but she only looked at them once, sighing, they didn''t complain. Feuer entered the carriage after putting a simple shirt the guards had given to him and immediately started to gather the Mana around him, as long as he recovers his Mana, he would be able to heal himself through his Light Element, a few minutes passed as a small part of his Mana was recovered, he opened his eyes, patted his younger brother head before noticing an anomaly. ''Spirits?'' Feuer thought while feeling slightly surprised, that surprise, however, disappeared as soon as it came. [1. Marie Antoinette Syndrome - The hair turns stark white after high amounts of emotional stress, in Feuer case, it lightened his hair color, turning from dark gold to light gold] 43 Spirits 1 Different from Elemental Spirits, that only exist on their owner or partner soul, Spirits are creatures born from Mana, to be precise, they''re the spiritual manifestation of Mana, however, few people can actually see them, they''re rare and only chosen ones can actually see or communicate with them. A Spirit flew curiously around Feuer before it sat on the light golden-haired boy palm as it hummed happily, there were fifteen Spirits, all of them hummed in a happy manner before they also sat at Feuer palm, when it didn''t have enough space, they sat on his shoulder. Feuer didn''t say anything because he knew that his voice would scare them, after what happened, he just couldn''t bring himself to be warm with the ever-smiling Spirits around him, his feelings were still here, however, why did it felt so distant to him? This was an answer he didn''t know yet. The Spirits seemed to understand his feelings as all of them collectively hugged him with their tiny, spiritual hands, Layla, at the side, was completely dumbfounded as she thought ''Just who he is? To think that even with his eyes being so cold and emotionless, the Spirits hugged him so intimately?'' Layla''s curiosity was raised but she couldn''t ask anything as Feuer turned his attention to Layla before he said ''''It''s the first time I meet Spirits, I heard their existence is rare, not to mention they actively being around you...'''' She smiled slightly ''''My Clan is known for their Spiritual affinity, we have a high affinity to elements and every generation, there''s a blessed clansman, many times being the Young Miss or Young Master of the Clan, this time, it was me, the current Young Miss, we, the Magne Clan, are pretty famous!'''' Layla said while feeling proud of her Clan, expecting a reaction of Feuer, that remained emotionless as ever. ''''Never heard of it...'''' He said in a simple manner, Layla felt the urge to hit him but remembering his strong grip and dominant actions, she blushed and forced herself not to do so, fearing that she would be pushed on the ground once again ''It would be an extreme shame for this to happen in front of my servants!'' Layla thought before nodding to herself. Feuer thought to himself ''Spirits, from what I have read, they generally like to stay on Forests where Dryads also lives, this girl Clan must be special, I won''t [Observe] her since she indeed helped me...'' then, he heard D?mon crying before picking him up on his arms gently and slowly rocking his newborn brother, differently from babies on his previous life, the babies here don''t need Doctors because they receive nutrients and Mana to nurture their body, which is why Feuer isn''t worried about his brother health. ''''Which Kingdom are you from, Lady Layla?'''' Feuer asked while nurturing D?mon with his Mana and maintaining his body warm by sending small amounts of gentle Fire Element, despite feeling curious, no trace of curiosity could be felt on his voice, smiling charmingly, Layla said as the Spirits flew around her happily ''''I''m from the Geist Kingdom, Geist means Spirit on their race language, our ancestors named it like that after discovering that his descendants had high affinity towards Elements and one of them, being blessed, could communicate with the Spirits!'''' Feuer nodded before saying ''''So this makes you a Princess, right? What brings Your Highness out of her Palace? Seeing your tired expression, you probably went to a place far away, hm?'''' Layla face sunk slightly ''''Yeah, I''m the First Princess, I have a few brothers and sisters, however, our Kingdom is in a dire situation right now due to the recent chaos, the Demon King invaded a few of the nearby Kingdoms under our control so we had to send troops, this made us lose many soldiers which weakened the Kingdom, the Demon King suddenly retreated, which made our rival Kingdom, the Ean Kingdom, feel a chance to attack us, however, their King promised to my Royal Father that if I married the Crown Prince, they wouldn''t attack us...'''' ''I see... She became a political tool, the scapegoat of the Kingdom, even in times of crisis, Humans can still be so selfish and greedy, disappointing...'' Feuer thought before nodding ''''What''s the situation of your Kingdom? What''s the difference in strength between your Kingdom and your rival Kingdom?'''' he asked, if he got to know the difference, he would also know the strength of Layla Royal Father, which would also mean he would have preparations. ''''My Royal Father is at Peak Spiritual Core while the King Ean is at the same realm of him, however, he was always slightly inferior to my Royal Father but with the Kingdom weakened, his Kingdom would eventually win in a war...'''' Layla said while sighing bitterly, seemingly accepting her fate. Feuer calculated the benefits he would have if he helps the poor Political Tool Kingdom ''Having a Kingdom to stay temporarily is good, since this Kingdom ranking is two ranks above mine, there''ll have an Adventurer Guild here, with the King being only at this level of strength, he''ll not be able to even touch my clothes, the resources accumulated by a Kingdom through hundreds of years would be good for me, though...'' he thought, by saving the Geist Kingdom, Feuer would clear the debt of him being helped by her. It''s not him exaggerating, his Mana was exhausted and he knew that it would take him some hours to wake up and recover his exhausted Mana, leaving D?mon without the necessary nutrients for hours, Feuer only pretended not to notice when the Spirits gave him small amounts of Mana. ''Well, Ean Royal Family, I don''t hold a grudge against you but a debt is a debt and this means you''re dead...'' Feuer thought while making a joke to himself, despite that, no laughter or smile appeared on his face, however, the Spirits around him noticed that his mood changed to a better one as they hummed happily, singing a pleasant song to Feuer''s ears. 44 Spirits 2 [Feuer''s POV] My tiredness was simply too huge right now, mana exhaustion? That''s not it, I felt as if my heart was hurting so much, I... I feel like a monster, I can''t even express myself properly anymore, no matter how much I try, no smile or a different expression will appear, even a fake one... I feel... so guilty about what I did, because I lost control, an entire Kingdom was destroyed from nothing, however, I have to keep this to myself, we just arrived on the Geist Kingdom Royal Palace, it was beautiful, prettier than the one at the Aurorial Kingdom, the materials here were different, they had a unique shine on them, I don''t know if it''s only my vision but it looked truly beautiful. I didn''t talk much, I simply waited till a room was designated to me and my younger brother, the Princess left the Throne Room and said to me ''''I''ll guide you to your room, my Royal Father said that he wants to meet you after you''ve recovered, follow me...'''' Nodding, I followed her as we quickly appeared beside a room and as we entered it, I let the Princess enter it first before confirming there wasn''t anything suspicious, I entered as I was greeted with beautiful decorations, a bed and a crib, with narrowed eyes, the Princess that seems to be just one year older than me said with narrowed eyes ''''You seem to be quite distrustful to others, hm? Well, I won''t pry into your story, every time you feel your younger brother is hungry, you just need to shake this bell and a maid hired specially for the BreastFeed function will come...'''' I extended my palm slightly as she dropped the bell on it, as soon as she left the room, I felt my knees go weak, my heart was hurting... it hurt so much. I fell to my knees as I cried, I heard... I was hearing all of the cries of everyone that died on the Aurorial Kingdom, my tears didn''t stop as they fell endlessly, the feeling of guilt was overcoming my body, at least I had put little D?mon on his crib and he was sleeping with a small smile on his cute face. I couldn''t take it anymore as my mind went blank. [Third Person POV] Inside Feuer consciousness, a black mist started to cover all of his consciousness, however, there were two parts it couldn''t cover, one where a Sphere glowing a pure white color was, besides it was a beautiful golden-colored glow, shining brightly, it protected not only its aura but also the white Sphere area, the black mist started to ''feel'' anxious and decided to attack, however, just as it went near the golden-colored glow, it stopped on its tracks. It was a beautiful golden-colored Phoenix, Feuer Elemental Spirit, however, differently from before, now its size was different, being huge as an adult Phoenix, despite the fact that he''s only a kid right now, after six months splitting half of his partner Mana with himself, he gained the ability to talk after three long months sleeping, being awakened after the Spirit of Death advances. The Spirit of Death ''looked'' fearfully to the golden-colored Phoenix with its nonexistent eyes before it retreated, the golden-colored Phoenix looked at it calmly before saying ''''Good... you think that by dominating the body of my partner, you''ll get stronger as you get every time you dominate a body, hm? You''re wrong, he''s special, I promise you that by coexisting with him, you''ll have plenty of benefits, you already got one by making him losing control and harvesting such amount of Souls...'''' ''''Spirit of Death and Spirit of Life, you''re two opposite beings but you need to coexist with each other in your host body, one benefits from the lives the host kill while the other from the lives the host saves or heal, one is Destruction while the other is Creation, your origins still being unknown, my memories are blurred, I don''t remember anything that happened Eons ago...'''' The golden-colored Phoenix mumbled before continuing ''''However, it''s time for you to awaken, my partner, your innate memories and true race has been hidden for a big amount of time already, 14 years of lost time of training in both Body and Spirit Path... luckily, you awakened a small part of your bloodline, now, it''s time for you to awaken at least half of it...'''' As he said that, a golden-colored glow covered Feuer''s entire consciousness. In the room, Feuer suddenly stood up as if he was shot by electricity, looking around, he felt confused ''I feel... good?'' he thought while having the urge to sing but held himself back ''Why do I feel so energetic? All the extreme guilt I was feeling and the cries of everyone, it disappeared... and what''s up with these memories? There seems to have more of them but they''re locked?'' Feuer thought, feeling confused, despite that, his face was stoic, his eyes cold as ever, as if unable to show them. It took him a few minutes to notice it was innate memories, he thought ''But why now? I have awakened my bloodline around a year ago, though?'' Feuer felt something was wrong so he decided to check his own status ''Fenex, show my true status'' he thought to himself as the usual screen appeared on his consciousness.

[Name: Feuer Flake] [Age: 15 Years Old] [Race: Our¨¢nios Phoenix] [Bloodline: Golden Phoenix (Mutated, 100% Purity)] [Cultivation Realm: Peak Lotus Core] [Mage Realm: Peak Spiritual Core] [Elements: Fire, Darkness, Light] [Elemental Spirit: Golden Phoenix] ''Our¨¢nios? Which language is that? It seems that after that, my race became a pure Phoenix, maybe the fact that I was born with a perfect human form and can keep it is due to that...?'' Feuer thought before shaking his head, he doesn''t know how much time passed but since he''s hearing his younger brother cry, it must mean he''s hungry, then, he shook the bell as a thin, spiritual line shot out of it, going to a certain direction ''This is so convenient...'' Feuer thought as someone knocked on the door. 45 Adventurers Guild 1 Opening the door, Feuer saw a young woman that looked to be no more than 25 years old dressed in a maid outfit, with his expression stoic as ever, he said ''''You''re the maid that will breastfeed D?mon? I''m grateful for that, I hope you can treat him well, the King called me to the Throne Room..'''' The maid looked at his face and noticed that despite how the Princess informed her that he''s only 15 years old, he seems to be an adult already, seemingly to have 1,8 meters of height, his appearance could only be described as otherwordly with his stunning light golden-colored hair and silver-colored eyes that seem to see through her soul, trying to look calm and composed, the maid said ''''Sir, you do not have to w-worry, I will do my best to take care of your younger brother, rest assured!'''' ''I... I shuttered...'' The maid thought and bowed her head to avoid Feuer seeing her blushing face, the latter, however, just nodded, patted her back and said ''''No need to be so nervous, miss!'''' an invisible mark was made on the maid, Feuer isn''t the kind of person to trust anyone so easily, if any threat was sensed, he would activate that mark and... the ending is predicted. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Feuer then went to the Throne Room, through his [Sense], he found the way easily, ignoring the young maids stares at him as they blushed, he knocked on the Throne Room as a majestic voice that only a King could have was heard ''''You may enter...!'''' Entering the Throne Room, Feuer saw a middle-aged man with brown-colored hair, despite the majestic aura around him, he looked to be sick, some strands of grey hair could be seen on the King''s face, there were some Nobles around him, they are the known ''King Advisors''. ''I wonder why I never met Uncle Ale advisors...'' Feuer thought sadly but no change of expression was shown, the King looked at him and said, the Advisors also were looking at him with narrowed eyes ''''You''re the boy that my daughter, the Princess, met, right? She said that you would save the Kingdom, that the Spirits guided her to you...'''' ''''Kneel in the face of our King, peasant!'''' Poor him, doesn''t know that if Feuer said that he''s not a Noble being, no one in the whole universe and planes would be able to do so, Feuer looked at him indifferently before waiting for the King answer. The King looked at him with interest as he felt amused, playfulness showed on his voice as he said "Let it be, some people think they''re superior to everyone, this kind of people need to be taught in a different manner...'''' Saying that, waves of invisible Mana shot from his body directly into Feuer direction, trying to crush him due to the pressure, the latter, however, only shook his head slightly as he decided not to do things peacefully ''''I would split the Ean Kingdom resources with you but since you do that, I will take it all for myself when the time comes...'''' Feuer said as waves of invisible Mana also shot from his body, the King and his advisors couldn''t do anything, their body fell helplessly on the ground, they could only look to the teenager in fear, not expecting his strength to be so great, just then, a kid voice was heard ''''Can I enter the room, daddy?!'''' Suddenly, Feuer''s mind shifted to a scene in his previous world, a child was waiting patiently behind a door as he said "Can I enter the room, daddy?'''' Feuer remembered the time he waited the entire afternoon just to meet his busy father, despite that, the happiness he felt when his father, not caring about his tiredness, went to the park to play with him, it was simply impossible to forget. All the pressure was removed from the King and his advisors as the King quickly composed himself and said "Of course you can enter the room, my son!'''' The Throne Room door was opened as a small boy with brown-colored hair similar to the King hair himself entered it and ran happily to his father''s embrace, Feuer looked at the King as he said "You have a good son, King, what''s his name?" "He''s the Fifth Prince, sir, his name is John Geist!'''' The King said respectfully, even adding ''sir'', he respected Feuer''s strength despite being so young, the boy looked confusedly at his father, wondering why he''s calling the person in front of him like that. ''''Pretty big brother, your name is sir?'''' The young John Geist said as the King and his advisors face sunk, cold sweat dripped down their backs, fearing that Feuer feels offended. Feuer looked at the boy and signaled for him to approach him, John Geist approached him, feeling that the big brother in front of him looked so pretty and gentle ''''No, big brother is called ''Feuer Flake'', your father, the King, calls me sir because this is my nickname, however, since you''re a good boy, you can call me just ''Feuer'', right?'''' he said. ''''Mmmm, your name is strange, big brother! It''s strange but it''s also pretty!'''' John Geist said after wondering for a bit, Feuer laughed inwardly at the funny face the boy in front of him made "Yeah, when you grow up, you''ll also be beautiful and pretty, just like me!'''' he said while sitting on the ground and patting John''s head, Feuer doesn''t like being called beautiful or pretty but he saw his own image on the boy so he doesn''t really care. However, John Geist looked at him while pouting, on his young and childish face, it only increased his cuteness ''''No, big brother, I want to be handsome and be a good King, just like my father, I also want to beat all the bad guys like the ones from the Ean Kingdom, hmph!'''' John said as Feuer laughed inwardly, a pity his expression remained the same. John wondered a bit before saying worriedly ''''Big brother, why does your face always be like that? Are you sad?" Shaking his head, Feuer said "No, it''s just that I lost all the precious things in my life except my younger brother, however, I''m not sad, if life closes a door to me, I only need to find another one close and break it, this is why you need to treasure everyone you hold dear because you''ll only know how much they mean to you once you lose them...'''' A few tears formed on John''s face as he thought what would happen if he lost his family, hugging Feuer, he said "No, I won''t allow this to happen, John will be strong so that John''s family is always there with him!'''' Feuer laughed inwardly while thinking how funny John is when he refers to himself in third person ''Well, it''s good that he has determination, if I were stronger, faster, if I wasn''t nervous and left the Kingdom, we would be on peace...'' he thought sadly but still patted John head to comfort the boy. Looking at the King, Feuer said ''''Your Highness, I will go to the Adventurers Guild because... well, I want to become an adventurer, after that, we can talk about that ''thing'', hm?'''' The King nodded repeatedly before smiling, feeling happy that his fifth son, which he holds dearly on his heart, is safe and even befriended the teena- no, the man in front of him. Bidding farewell, Feuer went back to his room, pretending not to notice the Princess that was hiding behind one of the Throne Room pillars, looking at him attentively, as soon as he left the Throne Room, the King said ''''Layla, my daughter, can you stop hiding there? Sir Flake didn''t notice you but as your father, I know how you act...'''' Pouting, Layla stopped hiding as she said ''''Mooo... father, how do you know where I''m hiding every time? He''s strong, right? He even promised to me that he would save the Kingdom, with that, I won''t have to marry that disgusting Crown Prince of the Ean Kingdom!'''' ''''Yeah, however, you must call him ''Sir Flake'', we cannot offend him, sigh, I already understood, my daughter, you have taken... interest for him?'''' The King said while sighing, the interest Layla has when looking at Feuer is simply too obvious, he doesn''t know how the girl could feel interested in someone she just met, is this the so-called love at first sight? ''''W-W-What? I didn''t, father, geez, I''m just curious about him, nothing more, yes, that''s right!'''' Layla''s face turned red as an apple as she said while nodding to herself on the end. The King sighed slightly as he heard his daughter saying that before she bid farewell, smiling, he started to play with his fifth son, that looked expectantly towards him. Meanwhile, Feuer was already back in his room. 46 Adventurers Guild 2 Feuer didn''t knock on the door because he didn''t care about it, he entered the room and saw that the maid was slowly rocking his younger brother in a kind, gentle manner, she looked to be giving her entire heart on what she was doing. ''Well, I guess she loves doing her job, despite many seeing the profession of a Maid as something low, she does it because she loves, this is... surprisingly a good sight?'' Feuer thought funnily as he looked silently to his younger brother. It took a good half an hour before the maid stopped as the young Hero was sleeping peacefully on her embrace, slowly, she put him on the crib that was prepared beforehand and was about to leave when she noticed Feuer. Feuer looked at her as she stared back before her mind was sent in pure chaos, in panic, she ran away through the door, leaving Feuer speechless. ''''....'''' ''Uh... It''s good that she treated my younger brother kindly, I think I''ll pay her with a few thousands of Gold Coins...'' Feuer thought as if giving thousands of Gold Coins is completely normal, he thought that the pouch on his pockets was of Gold Coins but there were actually hundreds of Platinum Coins Since then, a few days passed as Feuer had recovered completely, he felt ready to go to the Adventurer Guild, over the past few days that passed, he tried to clear his mind, though he was feeling better, he was still guilty, it was something that he wouldn''t be able to forgive himself for doing so. Sighing, he touched on the bell and waited for a maid to come, it didn''t take long before a different person knocked the door, this time, it was a butler, he looked old, seemingly to have 60 years old, he had a different aura around him, Feuer patted his back and left a mark on him as he said ''''You''re the Princes and Princesses personal butler, right? Treat my younger brother well, I''ll go to the Adventurers Guild to take my license...'''' ''''I''ll treat him well, Lord Flake...'''' The old Butler nodded as he bowed respectfully but Feuer stopped him on his tracks since curving his back so much with such old age wouldn''t be good to his health, then he disappeared. The old Butler thought ''He''s completely different from what Master said, he even was so nice to notice I have pain on my back...'' he felt true respect towards Feuer. Feuer was going to leave the Royal Palace before he noticed something ''I... I don''t know anything about this place, how am I supposed to know where the Adventurers Guild is? Sigh, sometimes I''m so dumb I don''t believe I was the owner of the highest clothing brand and enterprise back then...'' he thought before calling Layla Geist, the Princess would be a good guide, he mused. ''How can he say that while being so stoic, don''t you know people can misunderstand it...'' Layla thought while blushing slightly before saying ''''You can just call me Layla since I call you Feuer, it''s fair, right?'''' Thinking for a bit, he nodded ''''As you wish, Layla'''' Feuer said as he felt she was right. ''''You see, the Kingdom is huge but obviously we''re in the capital, Geist City, it is known for its economic prosperity and the place where the Royal Palace is located, it is the biggest city of the entire Kingdom, however, as long as you know the locations properly, it''s easy to know where the places you want to go are'''' Layla said as a smile appeared on her face, she looked excited to talk about her Kingdom, as they passed through the streets, many commoners greeted Layla respectfully. Some of them wondered who the man near the Princess is, quickly, rumors were spread through the entire Kingdom ''Maybe he''s the Princess beloved?'' some thought while some thought ''I heard our Princess engaged to the Ean Kingdoms Crown Prince, why is the Princess with another man... maybe they''re in love secretly?'' and there were even some female commoners that thought in envy ''Sigh... she is engaged, why should our Princess be with such otherwordly man? Damn!'' Though Feuer can''t hear thoughts, he could see it from their expressions, he sighed but felt slightly happy when they arrived near the Adventurers Guild building ''So this is where some random adventurer will come and lust over the Princess not knowing her identity and give me trouble, huh...'' he thought while remembering some novels he had seen back then where adventurers would lust over the Hero girl when he entered the Adventurer Guild building. ''''As you see, this is the Adventurers Guild building, I may not look like it but I''m also an adventurer, when you get there, you''ll only need to be tested by the Branch Leader himself, he''s an A-rank adventurer, he''s known for his Martial Arts, the Martial Demon...'''' Layla said, some respect showing on her voice, Feuer, however, said ''''Never heard of him...'''' as the Princess pouted in frustration. As they entered the building, many eyes instantly looked on their direction, there were more than one kind of people there, be it dark-skinned or fair-skinned, there were fat and thin people, some had a hulking body with scars while others looked delicate, however, none of them went near the Princess or dared to look towards her again ''Why is this happening? Isn''t it supposed to have at least one random dude trying to lust over her...?'' Feuer thought but decided that this was better, they then arrived on the balcony where a lady stood by, she had long, black-colored hair and had glasses, she exuded the aura of a professional. ''...'' Feuer mind blanked for exactly two seconds, not because her beauty was stunning, in fact, her appearance was rather ordinary, despite that, his expression was still stoic ''Never thought not being able to express myself properly would be a good thing...'' he thought funnily. ''It''s the first time in the entire 7 years that I''m in this new life, not counting my predecessor, that I saw a long, black-haired woman with glasses, my type...'' Feuer thought, he was so surprised that his mind blanked for two seconds. ''''Layla, everyone here seems to fear you, why is it so?'''' He asked as Layla looked at him proudly before she said, proudness showing on her voice ''''It''s simple: This Princess here is a noble A-rank adventurer!'''' Feuer''s reaction was completely out of her expectations as he simply nodded ''''I see..'''' before saying to the lady on the balcony ''''Lady, I want to register myself as an adventurer, I wonder if it''s possible for me to do the test?'''' The Lady looked at him for a few seconds as her professional stance broke slightly as she was sent into a daze, composing herself, she said ''''Of course, there''s a tax of 1 silver for the test, I''ll call the Branch Master, sir!'''' Feuer nodded and waited for a minute before a middle-aged man appeared on his vision.

Looking at Feuer, the Branch Leader thought ''I can''t see his strength at all... This can only mean two things: He''s either stronger than me or he has special techniques to hide his cultivation base'' he analyzed calmly as the former also stared at him ''This person isn''t ordinary, his techniques must be good since despite his realm being only Low Martial Core, I can feel that the aura he exudes is from someone at High Martial Core, which means his fighting prowess is there, his talent isn''t really high, otherwise, at this age, he wouldn''t be at this realm...'' Feuer thought, the Branch Leader aura was released, trying to intimidate him, however, the former only released an aura of equal strength as he analyzed calmly his opponent. The Branch Leader''s eyes narrowed slightly before he said ''''Come with me, we can''t fight in the middle of the building, right? The adventurers are already out of breath due to our little aura fight, hahaha...'''' he laughed in a silly manner before apologizing to the Adventurers ''''I''m sorry for that, my adventurers, I was excited to fight so I couldn''t restrain myself!'''' The adventurers accepted his apologize by staying silent as cold sweat dripped down their foreheads and their backs, the Branch Leader guided Feuer in a courtyard that was incredibly big as he started to talk ''''I''m Leonard Lion, the Branch Leader of this Adventurers Guild, I come from an old family of Martial Artists, however, my talent isn''t high so despite being at this age, I''m still at this realm, my family sent me to be the Branch Leader due to that...'''' he sighed slightly. ''''Hn... I just have one problem, all my coins are Platinum Coins so I can''t pay it in silver and I''m lazy to change it, too troublesome, knowing my situation, let''s make a bet, if I win the fight, I won''t have to pay the tax...'''' Feuer said as Leonard Lion''s eyes narrowed slightly before he smiled widely. Without saying anything, Leonard smile widened slightly as he shot forward, waves of air appeared as he broke the barrier of the sound, as if he teleported, he appeared besides Feuer as his body rotated, a kick was sent towards Feuer''s face, by simply raising his left arm, he blocked the kick easily, his body stood at the same position. Feuer body threatened to move as Leonard instincts were on its maximum effect, by instinct, his body retreated in the speed of the sound ''''W-W-What...?'''' Leonard said as he gasped, not expecting his body to retreat unconsciously, suddenly, he felt danger, Flames surround his legs as he used the friction to create Flames [Flaming Kick!] Leonard thought as he kicked, apparently, his fighting style is mainly through his legs, Feuer noticed this as he sent a Wave of Darkness to his opponent direction. The kick only managed to lessen the Wave of Darkness damage slightly as it hit Leonard, that couldn''t dodge since his legs were swallowed by the Darkness before it also swallowed his body, corroding it ''Maybe I overdid it?'' Feuer thought, hoping he didn''t kill the Branch Leader, this would be incredibly troublesome. As the Wave of Darkness disappeared, Leonard figure could be seen, his upper body completely revealed as Feuer noticed the many scars ''A battle-hardened warrior, indeed, I wonder how he did such stupid mistake of going to face an attack that would clearly overpower him, though?'' Just then, flames erupted from the ground, threatening to devour Feuer''s entire being, his face was emotionless as he thought ''Using Flames against me? Now, now... this is a good joke, it indeed surprised me, though...'' As the flames covered Feuer body ''...Is he okay? He clearly doesn''t seem to be stupid enough to let the flames burn him, maybe his brain is damaged?'' Leonard thought funnily but what came next shocked him as the flames that had covered his opponent body started to move as they condensed in a big fireball that slowly changed from a fiery orange to a gentle blue. Leonard instincts were kicking in as the big blue-colored Fireball slowly divided into many small fiery, blue-colored needles [Flaming Needle Judgment] Feuer thought emotionlessly as he controlled the needles as they shot forward with great speed, Leonard dodged it in time but as he saw Feuer fingers slowly moving backward, he jumped to dodge it, alas, some of the needles still hit him on his legs. ''I''m completely on the defensive, no, I''m not even defending myself, I could barely dodge the needles... He defeated me...'' Leonard thought as he felt a burning pain on his legs, his movements and fighting style were severely implicated, sighing, he said ''''I admit defeat, I couldn''t even touch you, the flames didn''t even touch you, right? You used your Mana to create a small shield that covered your body and blocked it, sigh...'''' he sighed again. ''''As the bet said, you won''t need to pay the registration tax, you''ll only need to put there your information, name, age, realm and those things, here''s the Ink... I''ll go back to do my boring Branch Leader business...'''' He said but mumbled the last part, Feuer heard him and nodded in agreement. Feuer registered himself as he put his name, age and realm, he then gave it to Leonard, the latter looked at it and nodded before he said ''''That''s good, your rank is clearly above A-rank but only a higher ranking Branch Leader can give you S-rank, as you probably already know, the ranks are from the lowest to the highest: D, C, B, A, S, SS and SSS, only someone at the second realm of cultivation or mage can become a D-rank adventurer, the requirements are from Martial/Spiritual Manifestation till Tree Pillar/Spiritual Pillar...'''' He paused slightly before continuing ''''I''m not sure but your fighting prowess is of an S-rank adventurer, there''s no rank higher than SSS because there''s no one on Martial/Spiritual Rebirth, if there were, the rank would be ''Z'' like it was thousands of years ago...'''' ''''I see, thanks for informing me, actually, I didn''t know, was too lazy to search about the ranks in a more detailed way...'''' Feuer said as both of them went to a room where Leonard took an empty Adventurer License and signed it with his name and put a big ''A'' on it before signaling for Feuer to sign it, the latter nodded and signed it. ''''Now you''re officially an A-rank adventurer, congratulations, now go away, I have paperwork to do...'''' Leonard sighed as Feuer left the room and decided to make an Adventurer Team, Leonard conveniently informed him that an adventurer can only take on requests if he has a team. ''Well, I already have a member...'' Feuer thought while including Layla to his team, he doesn''t think she would refuse, mainly because she has no options. 48 Adventurer Team 2 Feuer left the room calmly as Leonard was left with a bunch of paperwork to do, as he left the room, all adventurers attention were on him, Layla approached him as she said "You already finished the test with the Branch Master?" some surprised could be felt through her pleasant voice. "Hn'''' Feuer nodded in a simple but efficient manner as he took the Adventurer License from his pockets and gave it to Layla, that took it quickly and gasped after seeing his rank, even she only started off as a B-rank adventurer because her fighting experience was lacking, only after training her battle skills that she became an A-rank adventurer. Remembering something, Feuer said ''''Now that I think about it, to think that you''re only 16 years old but is already at Low Spiritual Core, this is impressive, I judge that you couldn''t advance faster because the knowledge available to you is limited, hm?'''' Layla nodded ''''Yes, the Holy Kingdom keeps all important knowledge to themselves and distributes it according to a Kingdom ranking, they''re simply too overbearing...'''' she said as Feuer felt curious about the Holy Kingdom but decided to look into it later. ''''Oh, I forgot to say but you were added on my Adventurer Team, you''ll have to either dissolve your team or leave it to join mine" Feuer said as Layla shouted back "No, I won''t leave mine!'''' She felt frustrated, why should she leave her friends and team to join his team, however, she had no option as Feuer said ''''You have no options here, girl, either you join my team or I won''t help your Kingdom, you surely don''t want to become a political tool, right?'''' His voice was cold, no trace of emotions could be heard, Layla felt shocked ''Why is he treating me so coldly? Sure, I barely know him but father said that men would always treat women kindly, principally when they''re at this age!'' she thought. Feuer''s voice returned to normal as he said ''''I know, leaving your friends and stuff, sad and all, you just need to join my team while I don''t get any other competent person, I don''t think someone at the fifth realm is easy to find in the Kingdom aside from high ranking nobles and you, that is already an adventurer, hm?'''' Feuer nodded, judging from her expression, they were probably her friends "Let''s go to meet with them, lead the way...'''' They left as all adventurer''s eyes were on them, many had shocked and surprised expressions, a new A-rank adventurer was born, it was something to be made a party over, that day, all adventurers felt happy despite all the danger of their job. Layla and Feuer arrived at a house, it was relatively big, giving a peaceful aura, Layla knocked on the house door as hurried footsteps were heard, the one that opened the door was a young man, seemingly to have 18 years old, he had black-colored hair and blue-colored eyes, a wide smile appeared on his face as he said ''''Layla, both me and my sister missed you, are you still blaming yourself after what happened six months ago?" Layla shook her head "No, I blamed myself for a good three months but I got through it, I was just too busy, anyway, this is Feuer Flake, he''s an A-rank adventurer and I joined his team, however, we need two more people, we''re here to invite both of you to the team, what about it?" The young man face sunk after seeing Feuer, however, a smile was still on his face as he said "No, I and my sister won''t join an adventurer team anymore, we have no benefits in doing so, we''ll only feel pain by doing so...'''' Feuer understood what was happening at the same instant as he looked to Layla and then to the young man continuosuly before a yellow light appeared on his mind "Oh, I see...'''' Feuer said as he immediately understood that the young man had feelings for Layla, he decided not to interfere as he said "I was looking through the requests and coincidentally, I saw that there was an A-rank request to slay a Wyvern, Layla informed me about what happened six months ago, if you and your sister join my team, I promise to let both of you slay the Wyvern with your own very hands, what about it...?" The young man''s face had a change in expression before he replied ''''I''ll talk to my sister, wait a bit...'''' The young man entered the house and when he came back, a similarly black-haired woman was at his side, she looked to be slightly older than him, the woman stared deeply at Feuer''s eyes as she said "Can you really help us to avenge our friends? If you can, please prove it!'''' Feuer didn''t say anything as waves of Mana were let out of his body, the air around him was distorted as the ground cracked, be it the siblings or Layla, they all had cold sweat dripping on their foreheads and backs, the woman then said as Feuer removed his Mana pressure ''''This is enough proof, both of us will join your team, Feuer Flake...'''' The young man added "I''m Lez Fro and she''s Liz Fro, we''re siblings!'''' Layla facepalmed since it was obvious that they are siblings, Lez blushed as he felt embarrassed by her reaction and remained silent. Looking at both of them, Feuer said "That''s good, we have work to do, then. Let''s register us as a team, we have an overgrown lizard to slay...'''' If a Drake, Wyvern or a Dragon heard him, they would undoubtedly be enraged, the utmost insult they can hear is being called a lizard, what noble race? Feuer doesn''t give a damn. 49 Draconic Raid 1 ''He seems to be trustworthy... well, he''s Layla friend, she wouldn''t try to harm us, she''s our friend, after all...'' Liz thought while looking at Feuer back with narrowed eyes, it didn''t take them long before they got to the Adventurers Guild and registered themselves as a team. Feuer approached the balcony as he said to the professional Lady ''''Hello again, I''m here to register a team, two A-rankers and two B-rankers, the leader of the team is Feuer Flake while the members are Layla Geist, Liz and Lez Fro, can you register us?'''' Nodding but not saying anything, the professional Lady did her job and registered their team without any problem, the team overall strength was judged to be A-rank due to Feuer and Layla both being at A-rank ''''Here''s your Team Registration, Lord Flake...'''' the professional Lady said as she gave him a paper that had information about the team, their names, age, and strength. Lez was anxious, he would be able to get his revenge, he and his sister would finally avenge their dead friends, quickly, he got near the Wall of Requests and searched for his desired request as he took it and started to read [This request was updated many times due to the risk increases every time an adventurer is sent, don''t take this request if you don''t have at least an A-rank adventurer on your team, the Wyvern showed signs of extreme intelligence and strength development, the closest estimates is that it already advanced to High Tier 5, it is located at the Pure Snow Peak, the Wyvern hadn''t left his cave at the Peak for a big amount of time. Rewards: 100 Platinum Coins - Requester: The King] ''The damned Wyvern increased its strength again?! We must kill him before he gets stronger and stronger, if he gets any stronger, the entire Kingdom would be in danger!'' Lez thought as his expression changed, his eyes had lit up a fire of determination as he brought the request to the professional Lady, whose eyes widened slightly but she composed herself before saying in a kind manner ''''Lord Flake, are you sure that you want to take this request? High Tier 5 is just the estimates of two months ago, there''s a possibility that it is already at Peak Tier 5, I''m not underestimating you, Lord Flake, however, I hope that you and your team don''t take this request, you all have a lot of room to grow!'''' She said, worry showing in her voice, promising adventurers like Feuer, an A-rank adventurer at the age of 15 is rare, not to mention someone that the Branch Master granted the rank directly, something truly unexpected, usually, he would give B-rank and wait for their fighting experience to be honed before giving the A-rank license. Sighing, the professional Lady said ''''Ok, A-rank Adventurer Team whose leader is Lord Feuer Flake, you may take this request, get to know that you can''t give up on it without a proper reason, be sure to stay safe, young adventurers!'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Lez, Liz and Layla all thanked her while Feuer nodded by bowing his head slightly as they all left the Adventurer Guild, all the adventurers present gasped, it had been over two months since someone took over the request, however, soon, they forgot about it since the life and death of anyone isn''t their fault, only the result of someone dumbness, trying to bite more than they can chew. On the way, Liz looked towards Feuer ''''Are you sure that you can take over the overgrown gec- Wyvern?'''' she said while correcting herself, Lez and Layla laughed at what she did while Feuer kept a stoic expression as he said ''''Even if it was a true Dragon, I would still give you the same answer, just relax and prepare your state of mind and spirit to the fight, you can''t let your emotions take over, I know you three feel anger towards the overgrown gecko but you need to keep yourself calm, understand?'''' ''''Yes...'''' The three of them said in sync, agreeing with what he said, they know the importance of keeping themselves calm, after all. They left the Kingdom Capital in no time as they headed towards the Pure Snow Peak, while Liz and Layla were Mages and took the Spirit path, Lez took the Body path as he''s a cultivator, they maintained the same speed as not to have anyone losing themselves in the way to the place where their battle will happen. After a few minutes, they were able to see a vague outline of what the Pure Snow Peak is, many mountains peaks covered by pure white-colored snow, the trees had their leaves in a different color of what you would usually see, instead of a lively green, it was a cold white, as if the leaves were trying to freeze the soul of who looked towards their direction, occasionally, small snowflakes would descend upon the trees and the ground, giving a cold yet beautiful aura to the Pure Snow Peak ''''territory''''. ''''We''re going to approach the cave where it was stated that the overgrown gecko lives at slowly, remember, a desperate person or beast is the worst enemy because they won''t care about themselves and will only attack in pure madness, we need to be stealthy...'''' Feuer said as he gave instructions calmly. Lez looked at him, feeling surprised as he decided to talk ''''I agree with your instructions, I can generate flames through the friction, though they won''t be powerful as Lord Leonard, it will be able to lessen the Wyvern attacks slightly since his attacks are made of Ice Element, we were unprepared the first time and paid for it...'''' he said with a bit of sadness. Then, he continued ''''My sister element is lightning, good to use against Ice too, as for Layla, her element is Water and Earth, not very effective but she can help with our defense, taking care of our backs!'''' Feuer nodded in agreement and so did Liz and Layla, just as they came up with a strategy, a roar was heard. *ROAAAAR!* 50 Draconic Raid 2 They felt as if the sun was blocked as a huge shadow covered the ground, looking up, they saw a huge draconic creature, it wasn''t merely a Wyvern, it was a True Dragon, Lez, Liz and Layla felt that their blood was boiling, as if they saw a superior creature, their bodies started to tremble due to the Mana Pressure the True Dragon was giving. Its voice was heard through thousands of meters ''''HAHAHA, I finally completed my evolution, now I''m a True Dragon, I advanced to Tier 6!'''' it laughed in pure happiness before noticing four puny humans in front of him. ''''Oh? I remember three of you... Weren''t you three the ones that came along two other puny humans six months ago? Did you bring another friend of yours just to be devoured by me?'''' The Dragon said as it felt amused by the puny humans, however, soon, he got bored as no answer came. Looking at the four puny humans, the Dragon said ''''I had mercy last time but this time, you four will become my breakfast!'''' Feuer looked towards the Dragon in front of him as he said ''''You''re nothing but an overgrown lizard, only a newly awakened Lesser Dragon and you call yourself a True Dragon? Such arrogance...'''' The Dragon felt enraged as his slit pupils moved, staring at Feuer''s eyes, the Mana Pressure increased instantly, Feuer''s eyes color slowly changed from a beautiful silver to a pure golden color, giving him a noble, majestic and overbearing aura, the pressure around them, be it from bloodline or Mana, it broke. ''''How?!'''' The Dragon said as he felt confused by what the puny human did, deciding to attack, he opened his mouth as Ice came out of it in a gas-like form, threatening to devour their entire beings ''''Ice Dragon''s Breath!'''' The Dragon shouted. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Feuer looked calmly towards the Ice Dragon''s Breath as he opened his palm as Flames shot out of it [Flame Palm Blast] he thought before a burst of air went in the direction of the flames, Feuer thought on his mind [Combustion] as the air touched the Flames, it suddenly expanded by many times as it devoured the Ice Dragon''s Breath. [Earthen Spirit Wall] Layla thought as both her Mana and the Spirits of Earth around her formed a huge wall, defending all of them from the claw, it managed to hold the claw for a few seconds before it broke, with its power and speed lessened by many times, Liz shot out Lightning from her hands as it touched the Dragon claw before it passed through the Dragon entire enormous body. It didn''t do any damage, however, the Lightning managed to leave the Dragon paralyzed for a few seconds as Feuer saw a chance, appearing behind Lez, he said ''''Jump slightly, I''ll throw you towards the Dragon eyes, your mission is to blind him!'''' ''''Let''s do this!'''' Lez smiled excitedly at the image of blinding the damned Dragon as he jumped slightly, as if nothing but a millisecond passed, he felt as if the world around him passed in a slow manner as in an instant, he was near the Dragon eyes, unsheathing his sword, he used the friction to set it ablaze before stabbing it on the Dragon eye. ''''ROAAAAAAAR!'''' The world passed in its normal speed again to his eyes as the Dragon roared in pain, he didn''t see anything from his left eye anymore as he shouted ''''My eyes... my beautiful eyes, DAMNED HUMANS! First, you come to steal my Egg many times and now you blind me!'''' Roaring once again, shards of Ice shot out towards all directions, it broke by a few times the speed of the sound as the ground trembled due to the Dragon rage, while Layla and Liz protected themselves together, Lez wouldn''t be able to do so as he was still falling in the air ''At least I blinded the damned Dragon left eye, I''ll leave the revenge to you, Liz... Layla...'' he thought while closing his eyes. ''''NOOOO!'''' Liz yelled, tears dripped down her cheeks, just then, a figure appeared in front of Lez, blocking the Ice Shards with his own body, looking at Lez eyes, Feuer said ''''It was my fault that you almost died now, however, how would you get your revenge if you''re dead?'''' The Ice Shards pierced Feuer back but he didn''t even flinch as blood slowly flew down ''You were sleeping for such a long amount of time, what about coming out for a fight against an overgrown lizard?'' Feuer thought in his mind as a majestic fiery golden-colored Phoenix appeared out of thin air, its majestic face now had a small smile as it said ''''I never liked the Draconic Race overall, always arrogant, thinking they''re the noblest race out there when it clearly isn''t true, how about we teach this Lesser Dragon what a noble Race is truly like?'''' Feuer didn''t say anything but the golden-colored Phoenix smile widened as its form suddenly changed, becoming beautiful fiery, golden-colored Wings on Feuer''s back, the latter arms also started to change as his hands became sharp claws, golden feathers covered his arms, despite being feathers, it was something extremely durable. ''''Don''t interfere with the battle, when I finish with him, I''ll let you three give the final blow to the overgrown lizard over here...'''' Feuer said before flying high in the high to ''''match'''' the Dragon height. With his eyes glowing red in pure anger, the Dragon yelled ''''DAMNED HUMAN! Don''t dare to call me overgrown lizard!" They were five thousand meters of distance from each other, however, they looked to be close at the same time, their voices could still be heard from such distance as if they were talking from a few centimeters away from each other, a ''whoosh'' was heard as the Dragon huge body suddenly moved, as if he teleported, his claws were already descending upon Feuer as a white-colored mist was around it with a cold aura. Feuer looked calmly towards the Dragon as he punched, his claws looked like nothing more than a small dot compared to the enormous claw of the Dragon, it paled in comparison to it. In an instant, their claws met as an explosion was heard, waves of air were sent everywhere as many trees were blown away. 51 Draconic Raid 3 An explosion was heard as waves of air were sent everywhere, the enormous Dragon was sent hundreds of meters back, his claw broke from the impact, however, Feuer also wasn''t left without any injuries as one of his fingers broke as he coughed up a bit of blood after being sent for a dozen meters away. Liz, Lez and Layla mouth were left utterly shocked as they saw their new Team Leader having the upper hand against a Dragon, even if it''s a Lesser Dragon, a Low Tier 6 Lesser Dragon can win against a High Tier 6 Magical Beast and fight on par with a Peak Tier 6 Magical Beast and with some luck, win. The enormous Dragon that was sent for hundreds of meters took around 2 seconds to stabilize himself on the air, this was, however, all that Feuer needed as in a mere instant, as if teleporting, he appeared beside the enormous Dragon as his ant-like claws compared to the Dragon hit it, however, a golden glow was left through where his claw pierced, a huge injure was made, five big lines with dark red-colored blood dripping down appeared on the enormous Dragon body, that roared in pain before composing himself. With his eyes glowing red in fury, the enormous Dragon entered a berserk status, Feuer thought amusedly before taking a serious stance, if before he was playing, now he was damn serious ''This is the first time I saw a berserk Magical Beast, this may be due to all of the previous ones that I fought being too weak and being killed instantly?'' Dozens of big Ice Shards along with the snow that was slowly condensing in front of the enormous Dragon in a pure white-colored glow, it had a dangerous air around it, as if it could freeze the entire world, Feuer''s eyes, however, only had complete indifference ''It was good to play with you, little Lizard...'' he thought before he summoned all of his elements. In his left hand, fiery blue-colored flames were condensed as they slowly became an open circle that spun continuously, in his right hand, Light and Darkness element slowly fused before a silver-colored light small sphere was condensed on the middle of his open palm, his eyes ''''smirked'''' as Feuer both hands approached each other. [Burst of the Holy Flame of Darkness] Feuer thought in his mind as silver-bluish flames burst out of his hands before taking up an enormous size, clashing with all of the Ice Shards and the Breath of Ice that was shot from the enormous Dragon, whose eyes had calmed down but it still had a hit of anger as it put more strength on its attack ''''PUNY HUMAN, DIE!'''' it shouted as his voice reverberated through hundreds of meters. As the screams of a Dragon were heard through hundreds of meters, Feuer had already gone to the Cave where the enormous Dragon was living at and it was really huge, it was on the biggest mountain of the Pure Snow Peak and it the cave itself was bigger than the Dragon, removing his partial transformation, Feuer patted his Elemental Spirit head as he growled in satisfaction ''''Partner, where did you learn your patting skills?'''' he asked. Feuer said ''''I learned it from my mother, she had the nickname of Patting Goddess, when she used her patting skills, the Heavens would bow in shame...'''' as his Elemental Spirit eyes narrowed as he felt doubtful ''''Are you sure...?'''' he asked. With amused eyes, Feuer replied ''''No, I was just mocking you, I''m just good at patting...'''' ''''By the way, Goldy, can you feel that?'''' Feuer asked as his Elemental Spirit, now known as Goldy, nodded his head before flying over what he was feeling, leaving a trace of shiny golden-colored sparkles, following him, Feuer sped up before an entrance appeared inside the cave, going directly to the underground, where a huge egg was lying on a beautiful circle. Feuer stopped in the middle of the way to admire the egg beauty, it was a beautiful pure white-colored egg with silver marking, it looked as if nature itself was being attracted by the egg, Feuer then said to Goldy ''''You''re a Golden Phoenix even if you''re only an Elemental Spirit, right? You''re the manifestation of my bloodline spiritual path, go and warm the egg, if possible, make it so that the Egg takes only a few hours before the Dragon inside is born...'''' Goldy nodded before his body enveloped the Egg as a golden-colored aura was leaked, warming up it, Feuer then said on his mind to Fenex ''Observe the Egg, I never saw records of a Dragon Egg having silver markings...'' [As you wish, master] Fenex replied back as a status screen appeared in Feuer''s mind. [Name: None] [Race: Dragon Race] [Bloodline: Silver Dragon (100% Purity)] [Age: 0 Years Old] [Status: Egg (About to be born)] [Description: Except for the Dragon God, no other Silver Dragon was seen till now, they''re said to be the strongest species of a Dragon, being the directs descendants of the first Dragon born out of the void along with four other entities, the Silver Dragon God!] ''Interesting, I wonder why I''m the only Golden Phoenix to be born after the original Five Creator Gods, the Supreme Gods, dissipated, well, Fenex, do you know why?'' Feuer asked as Fenex replied back [Master, this information seems to be in your mind, however, it is currently sealed, as you know, you can only transform a part of your body into your original form, this is due to your strength lacking, the same goes with your innate memories, it will unseal after your strength is enough] ''I see...'' Feuer nodded as a crack was heard on the Egg, more and more cracks appeared before someone came out of it, it wasn''t a Dragon, it was a silver-haired girl, she appears to be around 14 years old, her body wasn''t developed yet and she looked to be pure as the sky, her eyes were big, being silver as her hair, two small horns curved to the back of her head, her pupils were slit, Feuer thoughts were interrupted as she said ''''Brother...'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Feuer had a nosebleed. 52 Draconic Raid 4 Feuer quickly looked to the side to fake his nosebleed and composed himself before looking towards the silver-haired girl and saying with a stoic expression ''''I''m not your brother, don''t call me brother...'''' The girl ignored him as she said again with a cute, innocent expression ''''Brother, of course you''re my brother, it was saying on my dreams I had to marry you so you''re obviously my brother...!'''' ''....What the actual f*ck?'' Feuer thought confusedly ''If you''re going to marry someone, that makes you that person wife or husband, not your sibling, is this girl nuts?'' then, he realized ''Wait, going to marry me?'' He felt even more confused. [Silver-haired Girl P.O.V] I don''t have a name but I have something named Innate Memories, despite being in this strange, boundless darkness, I can think properly, I got to know there are Five Creator Gods, they were the Primordial Beings that were born out of the void, the Primordial Gods, they created the universe, multiverse and omniverse together, um... where was I again? Um... I''m a Silver Dragon, the noblest Dragon that ever existed, Silver Dragons are only born when the Golden Phoenix, the strongest Primordial God, the Supreme Goddess, holder of the Spirits of Reincarnation: Life and Death, is born again, it all started millions of years ago, when a certain being managed to get a similar strength to the Primordial Beings, that is, only similar, it was, however, destroyed quickly by the Dragon God, the first Silver Dragon, I think I lost myself on thoughts again, I''m the second Silver Dragon born. I was born because the Golden Phoenix descendant was born again, on my memory, there''s something saying that I''m the destined partner of the Supreme Goddess descendant, eh... this means he''s my brother, right? I saw through my memories that there''s something called sib... siblings? Something like that, brother and sister, I can feel he''s near and fighting someone, however, I can also feel he''s just playing with the Lesser Dragon that was taking care of me. Anyway, I have been on this boundless darkness for over a year and I have nothing to do except flash through my inherited memories, when the Primordial Gods saw the danger that the combination of both Body and Spirit path could bring to the universe, they decided to dissipate themselves while recreating all lifes, they created the first Gods, similar in nature as them, the Angelic God, Demoniac God, God of Chaos, God of Order and lastly but not least, Beast God & Goddess. It says that despite holding absolute power, the Primordial Gods weren''t good at managing all universes existent, which is why they decided to dissipate on the boundless lifeform they created, um... I feel someone warming the place I am at, is it my time to go out? Brother, wait for me! As I broke the place I was being held at, I saw the most handsome person, even on my memories, I had never seen anyone so perfect, I smiled happily, seeing the person I was destined to be with, feeling happy, I said ''''Brother!'''' Um... brother, are you okay? Why your nose is bleeding? Brother? Oh, he''s ok, I panicked for a moment ''''I''m not your brother, don''t call me brother...'''' he said as I felt sadness overwhelming me so I said ''''Brother, of course you''re my brother, it was saying on my dreams I had to marry you so you''re obviously my brother!'''' [Third Person P.O.V] ''This girl, she seriously thinks that marrying someone means that person is her brother, right?'' Feuer thought while facepalming before saying ''''When you marry someone, that person will be your husband if male and wife if female, not a brother!'''' The silver-haired girl paused as she looked confusedly before thinking for a bit, her thoughtful expression looked cute in Feuer vision, then, she nodded, Feuer then thought for a bit before saying ''''So, what''s your name? Also, I never saw a race named Silver Dragon...'''' Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. ''''Oh, I''m a Silver Dragon, I have the same bloodline of the Primordial Dragon God, commonly known as Dragon God on the [Divine Zenith]!'''' The silver-haired girl said before replying ''''I do not have a name, husband!'''' Feuer looked up and down to the girl and said ''''You seems to be 14 years old, unless you''re 18, out of my radar, besides, I''m not your husband'''' Tears gathered on the girl''s eyes as she said ''''D-D-D-Do you hate me? If you don''t, why are you rejecting me?'''' she sobbed continuously while shuttering, Feuer almost had another nosebleed before he said ''''I don''t hate you, I just can''t marry someone I just met, this is stupidity... Anyway, I can give you a name if you want!'''' All tears disappeared as the girl said ''''So you don''t hate me, hehehe, then please give me a name, husband!'''' Feuer facepalmed again as he felt she ignored the second part of his sentence. ''''Hmmm, since your hair is silver-colored and so is your eyes, your skin is also white like snow, hmm, your skin is just extremely fair, white like snow would be a creepy description, anyway, what about your name being Silvy? I''m Feuer Flake, by the way...'''' ''''Then from now on, I''m Silvy Flake, thanks for giving me a name, husband!'''' She said with a bright smile, Feuer gave up on correcting her as he went out, Silvy followed him. 53 Dragon Scales 1 The screams of the Dragon had long stopped, Feuer actually pitied the Dragon as someone of a noble race, being tortured is one of the worst things that could ever happen, despite being born as a human and having the soul of one (probably), his way of thinking gradually changed due to his bloodline and race. ''''So, Silvy, what happened to the O'' Great Silver Dragon God bloodline to appear on you? You said we were destined to be together but well, I don''t know about that, I only have a small part of my innate memories...'''' Feuer said as Silvy replied back ''''My dreams said that your bloodline was sealed so I only appeared here a year ago, where it was unsealed, I appeared because you awakened...'''' she said with a small smile. Feuer nodded before saying ''''I see, however, do you have a way to change your pupils to normal and hide your horns? Humans nowadays don''t like to interact with different races, there may have a Kingdom that accepts it but that is probably rare...'''' ''By the way, should I build a Kingdom where everyone can live alone after I conquer everything? Hmmm...'' Feuer was thoughtful, since he wasn''t destined to be an ordinary person and has the strongest bloodline, let''s just make the ordinary ultra extraordinary. As they left the cave, they saw three bored humans looking at Feuer in annoyance and then at Silvy in shock, Layla quickly approached them and shouting ''''Who''s that girl, Feuer?!'''' Before Feuer could reply, Silvy said with an intoxicated smile ''''Hee hee, I''m his wife, nice to meet you, I''m Silvy Flake!'''' ''''First, you''re not my wife, second, don''t shout at me...'''' He replied, feeling annoyed that someone shouted at him, Lez was sent into a daze after seeing Silvy but then, he thought ''I''m not a pedophile... not a pedophile... breath, Lez, breath...!'' Feuer looked amusedly towards Lez before shaking his head off, then, he said ''''I''ll introduce her briefly - She''s Silvy Flake, she had just been born out of the Egg and she''s delusional, thinking I''m her husband, any more question? And yes, Layla, before you ask the obvious, she''s a Dragon...'''' Layla, that would ask the obvious, decided not to ask anything as her thoughts were clearly seen by Feuer, pouting, she looked away, the latter looked at them as he said ''''Luckily, you guys didn''t do much damage to the Dragon, only in a specific... part, I''ll make an armor and a weapon to myself with his scales, fangs and claws, I''ll take 80% of his scales, any objection?'''' They nodded in agreement as Feuer took a small knife out of his pocket, Liz said amusedly ''''Are you sure that this small knife can cut the body of the Dr-'''' her sentence stopped abruptly as the knife cut through the Dragon easily, white light was glowing lightly on the knife, seemingly making it sharper. ''''So, let''s go back to the Kingdom, shall we?'''' Feuer said as everyone observed him quietly ''''What''s it? Do I have some dust on my face or something?'''' he said in a doubtful manner. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting. Lez said in a low tone ''''You''re full of blood on your body, dude...'''' just then that Feuer realized ''Oh... I forgot to avoid the blood that was spilling when I cut the scales off, silly me...'' he thought to himself before asking to Layla ''''Can you clean my blood up with your water element?'''' Layla just nodded dumbly as she sent a gentle stream of water to clean up Feuer body, after a few seconds, all blood had been cleaned up, there were even some pleasant smell coming out of Feuer body, there was only a problem, his clothing was white-colored, both Layla and Liz covered their eyes with both hands but even women can be perverts as they left a small opening for them to see, Lez thought in a frustrated manner ''Damn, why the world is so unfair? Damn good looking and now that, I hate my life...'' as he looked to a certain part, only Silvy looked at Feuer without shyness, well, except when she noticed a certain part. [1] Noticing what was happening, Feuer blushed inwardly as his face was kept emotionless before he quickly heated his clothing, in a second, it was back to normal, there was only one problem ''Where will I store the scales...?'' ''''I have a problem, where will we store the scales? Do you have some kind of Spatial Pouch or something?'''' Feuer said as both Layla and Liz nodded furiously while blushing, noticing their strangeness, he said ''''Can you please give me one? We need to store them, after all...'''' Layla threw one while quickly while saying and avoiding his gaze ''''You can stay with it, this is a gift for helping us, right, Liz?'''' she said as Liz nodded continuously, Feuer thought in his mind ''Fenex, analyze the Spatial Pouch'' [As you wish, master, this time, it''ll take less time as I have already done it once, the estimates to analyze and integrate an Inventory to my functions will take from a few hours to a day...] Fenex replied as Feuer nodded while storing up all the Dragon Scales on the Spatial Pouch. Lez then approached Feuer and said ''''Do you trust us enough to think we won''t say about the Dragon girl?'''' Looking at him as if he was dumb, Feuer replied ''''No, it''s simply because I know you don''t want to die so you won''t say about it...'''' as he said that, Liz and Layla laughed on the back as Lez face flushed in embarrassment, Feuer then continued ''''Let''s go back to the Kingdom, I hope there''s a good Magicrafter to make a Magical Armor & Weapon to me, any recommendation?'''' Thinking for a bit, Layla replied ''''The best Magicrafter of the Kingdom is the one from my Royal Family, despite being able to forge Tier 6 Armors, Weapons, etc, he decided to serve our Family due to a vow he made after being saved by my Royal Father when he was younger...'''' Feuer felt slightly surprised by the man honor, a Magicraft is a noble profession and not many can become one, he also started his career as one some months ago but he could only forge Tier 4 Magical Weapons and Armors till now, he thought his talent was low because of that due to his skills not being good enough to make a good armor and weapon, he decided to ask someone else, an irritated voice sounded in his ears ''Partner, if you''re not talented on being a Magicrafter then everyone else is nothing but pure trash, even the geniuses at the [Divine Zenith] world need at least four years to become a Tier 4 Magicrafter, if not due to you taking care of your step-mother in her pregnancy and using most time to cultivate when free, you would make everyone cry in frustration if they got to know that in some months which were actually a few days, you did that, damn!'' Goldy said in annoyance as Feuer shrugged his shoulders. After a few minutes passed, the big Capital of the Geist Kingdom once again. 54 Dragon Scales 2 [My ultra special thanks to ''Rodrigue Herves'' and ''Joseph Barron'' for becoming my patrons!] ''It''s good that I have saved some Fake Mithril, it''ll be a good material coupled with the Dragon Fang as the blade to my weapon... I guess a Rapier or light, long and sharp sword is the best option for me, hn'' Feuer thought while nodding as they arrived at the Capital entrance, a guard said ''''Halt, show your Identity!'''' ''''Here it is...'''' Feuer said as he threw his Adventurer License to the guard, that read it before sweating as he said ''''S-S-Sir Flake, you and your friends may enter...'''' he also sweated even more after seeing the Princess with him. Silvy had already hidden her horns, she knew how to perfectly control her human form, she looked like a human, despite her otherworldly beauty that was attracting stares from everyone, however, none of them were brave enough to approach her due to the imposing aura both Feuer and Layla were giving, looking at Feuer, Liz asked the question that was on their minds ''''Feuer, what was that transformation you did? You know, your arm and wings...'''' As if he had already prepared himself to the question, Feuer released Goldy from his consciousness as a small golden-colored Phoenix appeared, Goldy had adjusted his size as not to attract much attention ''''This is Goldy, he''s my Elemental Spirit, say hello to them, Goldy...'''' Goldy, however, didn''t say anything as he only nodded slightly before disappearing ''''Don''t worry about him, Goldy is just shy, he''s a Phoenix and he can help me to improve my strength by fusing with me, nice thing, isn''t it?'''' Feuer said as his teammates gasped. ''''I never thought a golden-colored Phoenix even existed, this is cool, really cool!'''' Lez said as both Liz and Layla nodded, the latter then said ''''Let''s everyone get to know each other better, then, this is my Elemental Spirit, I have two, one is called ''Earthen Spirit'' and the other ''Water Spirit'', to be precise, they''re both sentient spirits, they''re what keeps my connection with the Spirits stable, also giving me a high affinity with both Earth and Water elements...'''' ''Oh... two sentient Elemental Spirits? That''s kinda good...'' Feuer nodded as Liz turn came ''''As you know, my element is Lightning and so is my Elemental Spirit, it isn''t sentient like Layla one but it''s also very powerful, it is named ''Purple Lightning'', I can''t control it yet but when I master my control, I''ll be able to summon a stronger lightning, the Purple Lightning...'''' Feuer felt slightly surprised ''This is also an extremely good Spirit, Purple Lightning is one of the highest quality a Lightning can have, from what I have read on my previous life and my vast wuxia and so novels knowledge, Purple Lightning is only below black, white and golden-colored Lightning...'' he thought while nodding. ''''Eh... I''m a cultivator so I don''t have an Elemental Spirit but we can generate Fire through friction, depending on the cultivator strength, the Fire heat can be either strong or weak!'''' Lez said while feeling embarrassed that he won''t have an Elemental Spirit since he took the Body path instead of the Spirit Path. ''''No need to feel embarrassed, I feel that you''ll achieve great heights in the future, anyway, we need to talk with the Magicrafter, right? I have 80% of the Dragon Scales but I think I''ll use only a small part of it, instead, we can make armor to you three with it, or a weapon, you choose...'''' Feuer said as indeed, an armor would need only some scales as every scale is almost the size of his entire body, much less the entire Dragon scales...'''' Feuer said as Lez, Liz and Layla nodded in agreement, Silvy stayed silent, despite being a Dragon, she doesn''t care, for her, Feuer is the priority, even if he decimated the entire Dragon race, she would stay by his side, anyway, they would just need to make new dragons. ''''We''re here...'''' Suddenly, Layla said as they stopped before a wooden house, it looked simple to everyone eyes but they still trust Layla so they knocked on the door as an old man with a long, grey beard appeared in their sights ''''What you want from this old man, Princess?'''' he said while looking at Layla. Feuer looked at the old man as he said ''''Sir, I heard you''re a Tier 6 Magicrafter, we came here to ask you to make armors and weapons for us...'''' ''''Brat, I don''t accept requests for anyone that isn''t from the Geist Royal Family, give up...'''' The old man interrupted Feuer, that narrowed his eyes but decided to ignore it. ''''I wonder if a Magicrafter like you would reject to make armor and weapon with the scales of a Tier 6 Dragon and Fake Mithril, are you sure that you will reject it?'''' Feuer said as the eyes of the old man widened, he signaled for Feuer to continue. Without saying anything, Feuer threw some Dragon Scales and Fake Mithril towards the old man, that caught it all, his eyes seemed to shine for a bit as he said ''''Yes, yes... Fake Mithril, this old man never thought I would ever see Fake Mithril again, even a Lesser Dragon scales, brat, you''re lucky that this old man is generous, I won''t take your money, I only request that you give me more Fake Mithril, it''ll be my treasure...'''' Feuer nodded as he said ''''Good, I''ll give you more, I want a light, long sharp sword, similar to a Rapier but not that thin, for the blade you can use the Dragon fangs, be sure to fuse the Fake Mithril with it to make it sharper...'''' The old man nodded back as he said ''''This will be the best work of this old man life, brat, just wait, I''ll make you the best sword and armor I''ve ever made... This will take a few days but I promise you won''t be disappointed!'''' Then, he asked what Silvy, Layla, Lez and Liz would want before they said their specifics, then, the old man entered his house as the sounds of metal colliding with metal was heard, then, they left. Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 55 Upcoming War 1 Feuer wasn''t worried about Silvy ranking as an adventurer because he had already felt her realm ''I wonder why she was born directly as a Tier 5 Dragon, it may be due to the fact she''s a Silver Dragon but well, I''m a Golden Phoenix, it makes no sense the fact I was born like an ordinary human, it can be due to the fact my bloodline and race were sealed?'' he thought before nodding, at least she''ll be able to take care of herself. As they arrived on the Adventurer Guild, many eyes stared at them but no one dared to approach or look lustfully at Silvy since well, no one here is crazy enough to face the Princess and the new freak and his teammates, their strength is feared. ''''I''m back, Lady, we completed the request, the Wyvern had evolved into a Lesser Dragon, a Tier 6 one, however, we managed to kill him...'''' Feuer said while taking out a white-colored scale that gave off a cold aura, the professional Lady and adventurers present gasped in shock. ''''Sir Flake, I''ll ask the Branch Master to come here...'''' The professional Lady said as after a few moments, Leonard appeared in their sights but ignored them as he looked to the Scales ''''This... this is a Tier 6 Lesser Dragon scale... To think you managed to kill a Tier 6 Dragon, this is a proof that you''re an S-Rank Adventurer, I''ll ask a higher ranking Branch to evolve you and your team members rank by one!'''' Leonard said before pausing for a bit, noticing a new person in Feuer team. Noticing that, Feuer said ''''This is Silvy, when we met her, she was injured but luckily, I had some Healing Potions, she decided to join my team, she''s at the Low Spiritual Root realm, I don''t think you will want to fight against her, Leonard...'''' As he said that, Silvy released her Mana Pressure as the ground shook and cracked, on the Guild, only Feuer remained unaffected because, in strength, he''s by no means under her ''''Ok... I''ll ask for a higher ranking Branch to request for an S-Rank license...'''' Leonard said as he thought ''There are only freaks around this guy....'' he sighed before giving Feuer the request payment, the latter gave everyone their part as Leonard went to his room, a few promotions were needed, sighing once again, he started to write a letter. Feuer, Layla and Silvy bid farewell to both Liz and Lez before the three of them went to the Royal Palace ''''Silvy, you''ll stay with me'''' Feuer said as both him and Silvy went to his room, he thought it was perfect that she''s here since she can take care of his younger brother. As they knocked the door, the Royal Butler greeted them with little Damon on his arms ''''Oh, Lord Flake and...'''' he said while looking curiously towards Silvy, that replied ''''I''m Silvy Flake, nice to meet you!'''' ''''Oh, nice to meet you, Miss Flake...'''' The old Butler greeted Silvy before saying to Feuer ''''Lord Flake, the King asked you to go to his Throne Room, it''s important...'''' Entering the Throne Room, Feuer looked over and saw that this time, not only the King and his advisors were there but also Layla and a young man with green-colored hair and eyes, whose eyes widened slightly after seeing Silvy, his eyes contained lust and desire. ''''Sir Flake, this is the Ean Kingdom Crown Prince, Howard Ean...'''' The King said with a small, polite smile on his face, before he could say anything, the Crown Prince said ''''That girl with silver-colored hair, I want her, I''ll let your daughter be free of me if that silver-haired girl becomes mine!'''' For some reason, Feuer felt displeased, no, he felt anger, for reasons unknown even to himself, the King noticed the mood of Feuer changed abruptly for some reason as he said ''''No, that girl is special to Sir Flake, therefore, Prince Howard, I can''t give her to you...'''' The Crown Prince face sunk ''''Are you sure? It took me days to come here, I''m displeased, King, displeased... do you want a war between our Kingdoms? You know that your strength isn''t enough to fight against my Kingdom, this Sir Flake you say can''t compare to me...!'''' he said. Silvy looked at the Crown Prince as the temperature fell ''''Someone of inferior strength, appearance, race or nobleness dare to compare yourself to my Feuer? I dare you to repeat this...'''' she said in a cold tone. Thinking of it as a bluff, the Crown Prince tried to repeat ''''This Sir Flake you say can''t comp-'''' before he could finish his sentence, an Ice Shard was shot, only 1 centimeter far from piercing his little brother ''''You said something, ant?'''' Silvy said as Feuer nodded his head in agreement ''It seems she has a good taste for attacks...'' he thought to himself, they''re similar, indeed. The King and his Advisors felt cold sweat dripping down their backs as they felt how much damage the Ice Shard would do exactly if it had pierced that certain part ''''I see that your guests want war, Geist King, prepare yourself, the war is declared!'''' The Crown Prince said before looking towards Layla as he said ''''You, you''ll be my plaything, just wait...'''' Layla spat on him while feeling disgusted ''''You''re not even strong enough to defeat me, just dream on, weakling!'''' she said, not caring to hide her disdain, the Crown Prince felt angered but indeed, he''s weaker so he just stormed out of the Throne Room, or so he tried to do as Feuer held his shoulder. ''''Release me, peasant!'''' The Crown Prince said as he attacked, sending a punch to Feuer''s face, before it could reach Feuer''s face, the latter kicked the Crown Prince''s stomach, that fell unconscious ''Uh... I thought he was at least a bit strong...'' Feuer thought disappointedly before saying to the King ''''Why would you let him leave? Since he''s weak, doesn''t have any protection right now and declared war, why should you even let him go? Just use him against the Ean King and take off as many benefits as you can...'''' Feuer said as the King and his advisors gasped, feeling shocked. ''He''s a genius, why did we never thought of that?!'' The King thought in his mind, it seems his intelligence was lacking quite a bit as even Layla facepalmed at their stupidity ''''Father, this is basic strategy....'''' she said as the King quickly composed himself before saying ''''Yeah, I know, I was just waiting for him to leave before kidnapping him...'''' ''A war will come...'' The King thought to himself before he used a rope to bind the Crown Prince movements, Feuer also had similar thoughts before he thought ''Should I assume the Ean Kingdom and change it to the Hale Kingdom? Building a foundation for my brother may be good... Also, if I want to bring peace to all races on the [Mortal Zenith] world, being the strongest Kingdom is a need...'' then, he shook his head before going to his room alongside Silvy. Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 56 Upcoming War 2 He knocked the door before entering and seeing the old Butler holding his younger brother gently as he slowly rocked the little Hero till sleep before putting the latter on the crib and leaving ''''Thanks for taking care of him...'''' Feuer thanked the old Butler while giving him 10 Platinum Coins, it''s not like he has any other aside from Platinum Coins, anyway. Bowing, the old Butler left as Feuer and Silvy observed Damon, the silver-haired girl observed as she said ''''Is he your siblings, Feuer? I can feel Mana on him, is he what everyone call ''Hero, the Holy Child''?'''' ''''...'''' Feuer didn''t say anything as he observed a little amount of Mana slowly circulating on Damon young body, he wasn''t surprised that he has Mana despite not having been awakened yet, only Humans, for some reason, need to be awakened when they turn 7, most races don''t need it, many being born directly with it or awakening by themselves. ''Probably due to my bloodline being sealed and stuff, I wasn''t able to use it since I was born, I wonder if he''ll grow up fast like Goldy, what do you think, Goldy?'' Feuer thought to himself while summoning Goldy, that looked briefly towards Silvy before he said ''''He''ll grow up faster than most humans but not so fast as beasts, when he turns 1, his body and mind will be the same as a kid of about four years old and so on till he turns four, from then on, he''ll grow like an ordinary human, this happens because Angels grow up faster and they mature at 4 years old, which is the same age as a 16-year-old human, the age they hit maturity and become adults, their body stay at that age forever...'''' Feeling slightly surprised, Feuer said ''''This means that Angels are immortal? Also, I feel it is a bit creepy the fact that he''ll be four when he''s actually one, this doesn''t make any sense...'''' it felt like some kind of nonsense. ''''Mm, your growth being like an ordinary human is actually simple to explain, it wasn''t only your bloodline that was sealed, your actual race was sealed, changed genetically till it was awakened, which is why you grew up slowly, the Silver Dragon at our side, per example, she was born with the same age as an ordinary 14-year-old human...'''' Goldy said as Feuer facepalmed, does his partner really think this kind of nonsense is normal? Sighing, Feuer looked to his brother as his gaze turned gentle, at least this means that he''ll be able to take care of himself, as the so-called Hero, the Holy Child, his brother talent must be high, four years is more than enough to create a good foundation to him and the latter will also be strong by then, which means he actually has a year to create it... Feuer thought to himself, as soon as his brother is able to walk, talk and do everything a four-year-old kid can do, he''ll start little Damon training to prepare him to the world, while he want to protect Damon from the world danger, he knows that only by having enough strength that Damon will truly be able to protect himself from the danger that lurks on the shadows of the world. Since then, a few days passed as a middle-aged man with green-colored hair stood in front of an army, the man is the current Ean King ''''Attention, my soldiers, we''re ready to attack the Geist Kingdom, they dared to take the Crown Prince as a hostage, however, we don''t need to worry, we''ll crush their body, destroy their spirit and take over the Kingdom!'''' The soldiers on the Army roared in agreement as they marched towards the Geist Kingdom direction, meanwhile, Feuer was in front of the old Magicrafter, that had a satisfied smile on his old, wrinkled face ''''Brat, behold, my greatest creation will be introduced to you, I did as you asked, an armor that would adapt to your body, I added a special material named [Metan], it gives a healing property to the armor, if it is destroyed, you''ll only need to supply it with Mana regularly so it will fix itself!'''' In front of Feuer was now a snow white-colored armor, it wasn''t old-fashioned like Metal Armors, it looked good and had a cold atmosphere around it, also having scales as it was made by Dragon Scales, however, in the armor, it wasn''t ugly, it was as if a Dragon was coiling on the armor, holding great power, appearing to be extremely resistant but also comfortable, he wore it, Feuer moved around as he felt how flexible the armor was, adapting to his every movement perfectly, he even made small black-colored gloves with Fake Mithril because he thought it was cool, despite being a glove, it was also extremely resistant. ''''Brat, while I was making your armor and weapon, I felt enlightened, both weapon and armor are at Tier 7, as you probably know, Tier 7 Magicrafts can be bounded by soul and grow alongside the owner with certain materials, of course, anyway, here, pick your sword, I''m sure that you''ll need it on the war that is coming, hm?'''' The old Magicrafter said as he narrowed his eyes while looking towards the horizon, Feuer nodded while taking the sword. The sword looked majestic, its handle being black-colored with golden-colored patterns while the blade itself was long and sharp, being blue-colored while it had some dark blue highlights, looking as if it was made by shining crystals, as Feuer touched it, he felt its lightness, a sword perfect to someone like him. ''''You need to drop your blood on the weapon and armor for it to be bounded...'''' The old Magicrafter reminded Feuer as he dropped it on both of them, instantly, he felt it is bounded to something, as if he could summon and hide it anytime he wanted, he then tried to do so as both armor and weapon disappeared in shining lights, then, Feuer tried to summon it as the armor was on his body once again and the sword on his right hand. Looking towards the horizon, Feuer eyes narrowed as killing intent was spread through the air ''''I''ll name the armor as [Kingdom Guardian] and the sword as [Kingdom Destroyer], now, I have a Kingdom to dominate...'''' he said before disappearing, the old Magicrafter thought to himself ''I pity you, Ean King...'' Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 57 Easy Win 1 In front of the Kingdom boundaries, the Geist King was standing proudly above a white-colored horse that has a pair of wings, he was looking to the entire army in front of him as he said ''''We were wounded terribly by the damned Demons but we must be strong, strong for the people that live in our towns and cities, for the families that we''re protecting by going against the Ean Kingdom!'''' Saying that, Feuer entered the stage as he said ''''It''s true that their army is currently stronger than our Geist Kingdom army but this is not the point: We may be slightly weaker now but we''re united, their King is a tyrant, someone that oppress every family that lives there, we only need to be strong for a moment, a second is all we need to make their army turn against the Ean King!'''' despite his stoic expression, all soldiers could feel the power he was exuding. An Army Commander also entered the stage alongside three others as they started to give commands ''''Team Alpha, at my side, formation! We''ll go through the Forest and do an ambush, we''ll poison the river they''ll stay to drink water, remember, do not drink the water there, we''ve already prepared water to ourselves!'''' one of them said as another gave a similar but slightly different instruction. ''Good instructions... I''ve already seen which place the enemy will go, I can dominate them easily but this would decrease the Geist King moral, I''ll ambush them secretly, killing a few soldiers every second will do good, it''s good that I have learned some assassination skills from my father through the months as a way to be stealthy and do my missions better...'' Feuer thought while narrowing his eyes, as every soldier had already their team - Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Teta, he disappeared after they were on their positions. Meanwhile, the Ean King was overlooking the army that was slowly entering the forest with narrowed eyes ''I have an ominous feeling... I have been feeling this for a few days, I wonder what it is... Anyway, I have a King to dominate...'' he laughed inwardly as his eyes shone in lust, despite giving the excuse of saving his son, all the King was thinking is about a certain silver-haired girl that some spies had reported to him. On the forest, the large army had divided themselves into groups as some were in the border of a river, talking while eating a dead animal fried meat ''''That bastard of a King, always going to war, damn it, if not because I need this job to make money to my family and that he threatened my family, I wouldn''t join the army...'''' a frustrated soldier said while cursing the King, his fellow soldiers nodded in agreement. Appearing in the middle of the soldiers, Feuer decided that acting stealthy wasn''t like him at all so he decided to simply kill everyone that didn''t fall asleep, which were, in fact, only three ''''Hey hey, how is it, awake dudes? It''s a pity that after waking up, none of the soldiers around will remember about you, they''ll forget what happened, everything that happened in the past 45 minutes...'''' Feuer said as fear crept deep inside the soldier''s heart. ''''So what? You''re only one while we''re three, you have no chance, let''s kill him, for the Kingdom!'''' A soldier shouted as the other two also shouted before dashing forward, the three of them unsheathing their swords. Slowly unsheathing his sword, Feuer took a stance as three sword slashes were sent to him, elegantly putting his sword in a horizontal manner, he blocked the three slashes with great ease before he said ''''It was a good slash, a pity, indeed... That you''re weak...'''' In a second, he had already cut the three soldiers head as they fell to the ground, looking in shock towards Feuer, in nothing but a few seconds, they blacked out, never to be awake again, looking to the body that had spilled blood around, he sighed before burning it, no trace of blood, the blood itself or its smell disappeared alongside the bodies. ''Only a few more teams before the war end with a complete and easy win...'' Feuer thought while feeling it''s an irony he was, once, a man that had lived in a peaceful society, never harming anyone and comparing to himself of the present, a person that had killed hundreds of thousands of people in an instant when he lost control and now, killing someone without feeling even a slight amount of regret, pity or anything. Feuer sighed before vanishing in a flash of white-colored light, a few hours later, in the middle of the forest, the Geist King was in front of another man, the Ean King ''''Your days have come to an end, Ean King, your army was defeated in nothing but an instant, fight me, we shall decide the destiny of our Kingdoms, not through peace talk but through Life and Death!'''' he said as he felt complete confidence, by now, Feuer had already killed all necessary soldiers to reduce the army size. Taking up a sword Feuer had given to him, known as [Kingdom Destroyer] a Sword bounded by soul, Feuer let him borrow it to kill the Ean King, that was looking in an arrogant manner towards the Geist Kingdom ''''This is what you think... However, you won''t need to worry, I''ll take great care of your wife and daughter, puhahaha...'''' he said, greatly angering the Geist King, whose killing intent was spread through the air. Meanwhile, the sleeping beauti- soldiers had already woken up as they heard a deep, powerful voice inside their minds ''''I won the fight against the Geist Kingdom, come to the center of the Forest, let''s commemorate it!'''' they sighed simultaneously, they slept for a bit and the war had already ended, in fact, they''re still wondering if why they''re even on the middle of the forest ''Didn''t we just left the base...?'' some of them thought before shaking their head off, an illusion was confusing them. In nothing but seconds, the Geist King had already won the fight as a headless Ean King was on the ground, the soul bound [Kingdom Destroyer] had helped a lot, despite being stronger, it wouldn''t be so easy to win the fight against the Ean King, suddenly, the Sword disappeared as Feuer emotionless voice was heard on his head ''''Done, I guess... Come to the center of the Forest, I gathered all of the remaining Ean soldiers there, do your job, you know, King majesty and these things... I''ll go to the Ean Kingdom capital and rob whatever is useful to me and leave the rest to you, by the way, they''re already surrounded by your army...'''' Feuer said before he flashed away in the direction of the Ean Kingdom capital. Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 58 Easy Win 2 Feuer decided to go at full speed [Light Acceleration] he thought to himself as he vanished in a flash of light, sound booms were heard as the sound barrier was broken by many times, in what seemed to be an instant, he appeared in front of a Town but passed directly by it, he had already recorded the information about the Ean Kingdom map deep inside his mind, he was in the way to the capital. It would, however, still take a few minutes to arrive there, what would usually take a few hours for an ordinary Peak Lotus Core or Spiritual Core took only a few minutes to Feuer, his speed being around 171.500 meters per second or 500 times the speed of the sound. The image of a beautiful capital could be seen in Feuer''s eyes, ignoring every building, he went directly to the so-called Royal Palace ''I''ll set barriers to prevent anyone from escaping or giving out any news that I was here, I''ll annihilate the entire Royal Family but I''ll leave the servants alive, an illusion to gather all members of the Royal Family in the Throne Room unconsciously will do good...'' Feuer thought while summoning out his [King Destroyer] sword, he decided to do so because he''ll use it to annihilate the Royal Family. A few more minutes passed as the members of the Royal Family had been gathered in the Throne Room, a few males and females also known as Princes and Princess of the Ean Kingdom, Feuer felt slightly happy that there weren''t any children in the group, the Queen was also there, he appeared in front of them as he said ''''Hello, Ean Royal Family, it''s nice to see you here. Before you ask, I''m Feuer and I''m here to... well, it is obvious, don''t try to resist, you have no means in doing so, your so-called King did a bad thing and this is the result...'''' One of the Princes was immediately angered as he yelled ''''Hmph, come and try, Royal Father wouldn''t lose to a weakling like you!'''' arrogance and confidence could be felt in his voice, the Princes and Princess around him nodded in agreement as they took a stance, however, before they could do anything, the head of the Prince that just yelled fell to the ground as blood spilled everywhere. ''''Anyone here also wants to put any resistance? I can make the death of you all extremely painful... I must say that... I can, pretty much, torture someone... I''m not sure if you know the Bringer of Darkness, Raza...? Yeah, this one, he died very painfully....'''' Feuer said, not caring if they would know what he did or if they wouldn''t, they have no means of escaping. The Queen''s eyes widened as she immediately said ''''Great Lord, please spare us! I... I can be your plaything, I can let you do anything to me, just spare us!'''' Feuer''s eyes narrowed in disgust as the Queen''s head was severed. The Treasure Vault had many treasures inside if it wasn''t obvious enough, jewels, special techniques, money, artifacts and so on, Feuer thought in his mind ''Fenex, I noticed you just woke up, such convenient thing, hm? It took more time than what you said ''few hours'', huh? It took a few days..'' [I''m sorry, master, I decided to take a few more days to make a nearly infinite inventory by absorbing Mana and making a small world, tip: You should learn more about the Space Element, as you know, you can have mastery over different elements, however, Fire, Light and Darkness are your main element, however, you also have a near-perfect affinity to the rest of the elements...] Fenex said as Feuer almost had the urge to punch its nonexistent body. ''Mm, can you observe all things inside this Treasure Vault and identify anything that could be useful to me?'' Feuer said as a spiritual wave was sent through the Treasure Vault, two screens then appeared in his consciousness. [Name: Nameless Spiritual Technique] [Tier: 9] [Information: A nameless Technique made by an ancient figure thousands of years ago that had already ascended, it''s a technique made to anyone that has taken the Spirit Path, be it Human, Beast or any other Race, its attribute being Fire, anyone that train on this technique has the chance to become a Tier 9 Mage also known as Spiritual Rebirth realm, it allows the user to change the Fire temperature at your will, as long as your mastery is good, it can be either Cold Flames or normal Flames with high temperatures, as the Ean Royal Family couldn''t identify the Technique correctly, they thought it was trash so it ended up on the Treasure Vault, never to be seen again.] [Name: Sacred Cloak] [Tier: 8] [Information: As it says, it''s a Cloak, it can be soul bound by the user as it is a Tier 8 artifact, it wasn''t soul bound by anyone as a Tier 8 artifact already has its own spirit, the Sacred Cloak didn''t accept anyone in over a thousand years it was made by the Holy Magicrafter and lost in a war where the Hero died against the Demon King, it somehow ended up in the hands of the Ean Kingdom ancestor, however, master doesn''t need to worry, no Artifact Spirit would dare to refuse you!] Fenex conveniently added the last part, Feuer laughed inwardly before he stored 80% of the Platinum Coins of the Treasure Vault inside the near-infinite inventory. Feuer touched the Sacred Cloak as it seemingly ''stared'' deep in his soul before its spirit appeared in front of Feuer, it was a figure made of pure Light element, it didn''t say anything but it entered Feuer consciousness with the latter permission before integrating with him, then, the Sacred Cloak moved at its own will as it fits perfectly on Feuer, whose majesty was shown completely by the Cloak, he exuded an even higher aura of Holiness anymore, not repressing it anymore. ''I feel.. light?'' Feuer thought while making a small joke ''Holiness, Light, haha...'' He laughed inwardly but unfortunately his expression remained stoic, sighing, he stored the Nameless Spiritual Technique in the near-infinite inventory, removing the barrier, he fixed the dead Royal Family on the wall, for everyone to know that the tyranny of the Royal Family ended, a new era would be seen for both Ean and Geist Kingdom as they merged together, then, Feuer vanished, all left was a white-colored trace. Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 59 Departing 1 Feuer decided to go back to the Geist Kingdom since with the war that was just won, many things will happen, for example, the King will build an enormous city between each Kingdom as a way to say that they''re now only one Kingdom, which will have the name Geist Kingdom, it''ll be the new capital of both Kingdoms, named ''Connection Spirits Capital''. In a few minutes, Feuer was already back on the Geist Kingdom capital as he went directly to the Royal Palace, where the members of the Royal Family were all together, including the young John Geist, that noticed Feuer presence as soon as he came, smiling brightly, he shouted ''''Feuer-nii-san, you''re back, I heard from father about your acts, you''re supaaaaa cool!!'''' Laughing inwardly, Feuer took the young boy and put him on his shoulders, the Princes and Princess present except Layla all felt surprised but they have heard about Feuer from their Royal Father, they knew he was a being that they couldn''t afford to offend in any manner, bowing slightly but not losing their composture as Royalty, they greeted him. The Queen looked at him surprisedly but didn''t say anything, the Geist King looked at him before saying ''''Sir Flake, I may thank you for all the assistance you gave me, without your help, the fate of my daughter and the Kingdom would''ve been doomed...'''' then, he bowed as the eyes of his offspring widened, it was the first time they saw their Royal Father bowing respectfully to someone. Looking towards Feuer, the Queen continued her husband''s speech ''''We, the Geist Royal Family, thank you profoundly, you can choose anything you want from our Treasure Vault as a way to thank you!'''' Shaking his head slightly, Feuer said ''''I won''t need you to reward me, I took 80% of the Ean Kingdom Platinum Coins that were inside their vault alongside this beautiful cloak here, don''t worry, it was their personal things, not the whole Kingdom, they had a different Vault for that, I left all their useful resources for you to raise your Kingdom strength...'''' Instead of complaining due to the fact he took 80% of the Ean King personal treasure, the King thanked him profoundly as he said ''''Thank you, Sir Flake...'''' thinking of something, Feuer continued ''''Look, I have a proposal that will be good for both of us, have time to hear?'''' he said before taking out a shirt he had made in the time he was waiting for his [King Destroyer] and [King Guardian], he changed the name of both of them. ''''W-What is this shirt? So beautiful!'''' One of the princess said as the rest of the Royal Family members nodded in sync, smiling inwardly, Feuer said ''''This is a shirt I, myself, made, on my home Kingdom, I had a clothing brand ''Golden Hale'', it was on an isolated Kingdom but anyway, if you agree, I can put a store on the new Kingdom capital, what is its name... Connecting Spirits Capital?'''' ''''Giving that you''ll give me the best store, you, Geist King, can have 10% of the store profits, the remaining 90% of the profits will be deposited on the Zenith Bank, on the account I''ll give you right now, I believe in your integrity but I''ll be checking it, if something is wrong, I''ll discover and the end won''t be god...'''' Feuer said as the King nodded hastily, the Zenith Bank is a bank that has a branch on almost every Kingdom through the [Enith] continent, Feuer had already created a Vip Account with Top Priority, the so-called ''Golden Card Account''. Feeling shocked but not showing it on his face, the King looked at the Golden Card and memorized the account number ''''I''ll give you the way of production, the production will be held by all Royal Family members, however, you all will do a Soul Vow saying ''I won''t allow the production to be leaked to anyone that isn''t from the Geist Royal Family or its future members without they doing the Soul Vow, if I break this Vow, the Universal Law shall kill me with its Heavenly Lightning!'' '''' Feuer said, this was a way for them not to leak the ways of production. Then, one by one, the Royal Family members except for Layla, did the Soul Vow as the sound of Lightning descending was heard, looking at Layla, Feuer sighed, knowing what she was going to say ''''I won''t do the Soul Vow because I''ll be leaving the Kingdom, don''t try to stop me, Father, Mother, I''m at Feuer Adventurer Team, since he''s leaving, I''ll go together!'''' she said, shocking all the members of the Royal Family, however, no one objected, they knew that staying in the Kingdom would only hold Layla potential, besides, it''s not like they can stop her, she''s extremely powerful by herself, not to mention with Feuer here, all tries would be unsuccessful. However, another member of the Royal Family didn''t do the Soul Vow, it was John Geist, whose eyes had tears ''''Feuer-nii-san, please don''t go away!'''' he said as tears dripped down his cheeks. Sighing, Feuer said ''''You know that I can''t, John, I still have to get stronger, you need to stay there and grow up peacefully, one day, you''ll be strong enough to protect your family!'''' alas, John mind suddenly changed as he said ''''Then let me go with you, nii-san! I want to be strong like you, please let me be your apprentice!'''' with eyes burning with determination, John looked expectantly towards Feuer, that knew the boy just turned 7 years old, he wanted to accept a disciple latter but he decided to awaken John mana. ''''You still didn''t have your Mana awakening yet, hm? Come here, I''ll awaken it for you, if your talent is towards the Spirit Path, I''ll accept you as my disciple, if it is towards the Body Path, I won''t, what about it, John? It is a gamble...'''' Feuer said as the members of the Royal Family widened their eyes, however, soon, they got happy that their youngest brother obtained such a chance. With still confused eyes, John approached Feuer, whose hand was put on the boy''s forehead, his Mana then resonated with the boy body, awakening John own Mana, suddenly, a strange phenomenon happened. Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 60 Departing 2 As John Mana was awakened, a sudden phenomenon happened, two shinings glows appeared beside the young kid, one being white-colored and another being black-colored, they were similar to the glow inside Feuer consciousness but much weaker, in an instant, Feuer got to know what they were ''They''re his Elemental Spirits? But... he''s human, they''re born without a realm and have to train from nothing...'' just then, he thought of a race, without caring, he thought to himself [Observe]. [Name: John Geist] [Age: 7 Years Old] [Race: Spiritual Human] [Bloodline: Spiritual Human Bloodline (100%)] [Mage Realm: Low Spiritual Manifestation] [Elements: Light, Darkness] [Elemental Spirit: Light & Darkness Spirit] ''Spiritual Human, huh? They''re basically descendants of Spirits with Humans, inheriting both Human and Spiritual benefits, from what I remember, they''re a blessed race, which makes that even without humans breeding with Spirits, which is almost impossible since Spirits with a human form is extremely rare, basically, they appear every now and then by humans with diluted Spiritual Human race that came from the first Spiritual Human born, complicated thing, indeed...'' Feuer thought to himself but felt rather happy, he would accept a disciple and the fact that his Elemental Spirit is the Light & Darkness Spirits make it easier since his mastery over Light and Darkness is incredibly good, his disciple growth would be assured, at least. The King looked towards his son with an astonished expression before he said ''''Another member of our family was born with an affinity with the Spirits, hahaha!'''' then, he looked towards Feuer, that nodded, this made a wide smile appear on the King''s face. ''''Feuer-nii-san, what happened?'''' John said as he looked to the two Elemental Spirits of Light and Darkness in front of him, they were small humanoids that had a spiritual body with white and black coloration respectively. ''''Well, you awakened directly as a Mage, meaning you''re now my disciple, however, you don''t need to call me Master, you just need to call me Feuer-nii-san as you already do...'''' Feuer said as a smile blossomed on the young child''s face. ''''However, you awakened directly on the Spiritual Manifestation realm for some reasons, I will, for now, teach you how to control and use your powers correctly...'''' Feuer said, not saying the reasons of why his disciple awakened directly at that realm, his eyes wandered to Layla, wondering if her race is the same as John, shaking his head, he said ''''We''ll depart, you don''t need to take clothes, I''ll make yours, Lez and Liz clothes myself, little John clothes too...'''' As Feuer appeared in front of Lez and Liz house with John on his shoulders and Layla by his side while holding his younger brother on his arms, he knocked on the door as a silver-haired girl more commonly known as Silvy opened the door, she passed the day playing with the siblings as he had introduced them the game known as ''World War'', they ignored the true war and simply played the game, they knew the war would be won because of Feuer, anyway. ''''You''re back, Feuer!'''' Silvy said as a smile appeared on her beautiful and delicate face, even though she usually jumped towards his direction, trying to hug him, this time she held herself from doing so since he had his younger brother on his arms and the young Prince on his shoulders ''''So you accepted him as your disciple? Just like the King kept nagging you?'''' Silvy said while laughing a bit, remembering how the King asked once in a while if Feuer would accept the young boy as his disciple. Feuer nodded before entering the house, Layla followed him silently while looking towards Silvy warily, Silvy smirked as Layla passed through her side ''''He''s mine, bitch...'''' the silver-haired girl said as Layla smiled slightly ''''Is that so? I don''t think he would like a flat-chested slut like you...'''' she retorted while entering the house. They had, in a few days, obtained a rivalry between each other, Silvy knew that Layla has, in a way or other, feelings towards her beloved so she was always ruthless in words with her, alas, she is young and doesn''t know many insults so Layla retorted all, Silvy looked towards her own chest and then to Layla chest before stomping her feet on the ground in frustration ''Compose yourself, Silvy! You''ll have a big chest in the future, just because she has a bigger meat bag right now doesn''t mean she''ll be bigger forever!'' Silvy thought before nodding and also entering the house. Feuer looked over Lez and Liz, that was having a ''fight'', they stared towards each other fiercely before Liz smirked ''''HA! I won this time, I completed my objective!'''' she said as Lez shouted in frustration ''''DAMN IT!'''' ''They''re taking this seriously, eh?'' Feuer thought to himself before he took a crib from his near-infinite inventory and put it in the room before he put Damon on the crib carefully, that giggled before saying ''''Bwoder!'''' ''NANI?!'' Feuer thought as he jumped in surprise, his face remained the same, though. ''''Damon, my dear brother, can you please repeat it?'''' Feuer said while mustering the kindest eyes he could think since he can''t smile or show any emotion in his face anymore. ''''Bwoder, bwoder!'''' Damon giggled continuously as he repeated it while Feuer almost fainted, he stumbled a few steps back before reacting ''''His first words were brother, I''m so proud!!!'''' he said as Lez laughed loudly before saying ''''So the only person that can harm you, even if not physically, is your younger brother, huh? Never thought you were a bro-con!'''' He said as Liz and Layla also laughed, thinking that the ever cold Feuer was taken off guard by his own brother that is still a baby. Silvy thought for a bit before saying ''''Nii-san...'''' as she said that, Feuer looked towards her before having a faint nosebleed, however, before it could actually be shown to anyone, he used his mana to remove all blood that was slowly flowing down his nose ''Calamity saved...'' he thought to himself. ''So it didn''t work, sigh...'' Silvy thought before looking to the ground in frustration as Layla looked towards her in a victorious manner ''You thought you would be able to gain Feuer affection by doing this? Try harder, hahahaha!'' Layla thought while laughing loudly inwardly. Shaking his head, Feuer announced ''''We will depart to another Kingdom, the nearest Kingdom without counting the Ean Kingdom that was integrated to the Geist Kingdom is the Eisen Kingdom, I had researched about this Kingdom, their King, which is the strongest people of the Kingdom, is merely at High Tree Roots realm, his battle prowess being higher than High Tree Rots but lower than Peak Tree Rots, we''ll depart at tonight...'''' he said as everyone nodded. The night was approaching as they departed, Layla looked one more time towards the Kingdom capital as so did her younger brother John, both of them looked at each other before they looked away, fearing that they wouldn''t be able to abandon the place they once lived if they kept looking. Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 61 Knowledge 1 All of them went to a Forest where Feuer said they would camp the rest of the night, curious, Lez was the one to ask verbally while Liz looked towards Feuer with questioning eyes ''''Why are you so determined to leave so soon? We could pass the night on the house, comfortable and stuff...'''' he asked as everyone looked towards Feuer, that was literally levitating the crib with Damon inside through his Mana while protecting it and making it comfortable, three in one, comfort, protection and locomotion. ''''The less I''m attached to the Kingdom the better it is, who knows if a night could make me super attached to the Geist Kingdom?'''' Feuer said but the truth is that he felt powerful auras coming towards the Kingdom, he knew they weren''t hostile but he had a gut feeling that they were searching for him, it wasn''t impossible for them to track him, after all. They probably felt his Mana fluctuations when he fought the overgrown lizard and associated it to the traces left on the Kingdom that became dust, the Aurorial Kingdom, they had, however, ill intent towards him, Feuer wasn''t going to gamble a fight against two powerful humans that could, maybe, use his younger brother against him. [Unknown Person P.O.V] I have been searching traces left by the thing that destroyed the Low Ranking Kingdom, what was it name? Auror Kingdom? Yes, something like that, it had became dust overnight after the phenomenon that turned the entire world sky in complete darkness, it was a scary sight, indeed. Looking towards my partner for this mission, I said in realization ''''I just felt fluctuations similar to the one that destroyed the Kingdom, I think he''s near the Pure Snow Peak, the name of it was something like that, right? We can investigate around the Middle Ranking Kingdom, the Geist Kingdom, too, I heard that they recently won the war against the Ean Kingdom and killed the entire Royal Family, for a not so strong Kingdom, they sure are ruthless, huh?'''' My partner isn''t a man of many words, he simply nodded as I sighed, I never was a man good with names, anyway, the Peak is probably named Pure Snow Peak, right? Well, we''ll investigate, just in case, this is the hope of finding the being and hunt it, a being this strong probably would bring many benefits, while we cannot defeat it isolatedly, we have already called for reinforcements, people strong than us to help, hundreds of them. [Third Person P.O.V] Feuer made some tents on the middle of the forest, they had already ran through thousands of kilometers and killed some beasts to eat, in the middle of the tents, Feuer picked some woods and threw a little ball made of Fire element to lit a fire pit. Feuer smacked the young boy head while saying ''''It''s not bestest, you''re Royalty, don''t say bestest, just say ''this is the best thing'' and it''s done...'''' he sighed at his disciple that is supposed to be Royalty, doing such mistake, John pouted while looking to the side but soon, he looked towards the meat that was roasting as he started to drool. Looking towards John, Layla came near him and smacked the boy head ''''Otouto, have some manners!'''' she said but as if the words entered through an ear and left through the other, John ignored her as he drooled even more. ''''Pffft...'''' The siblings Lez and Liz were trying their best not to laugh at both royalties because unknown to Layla, she was also drooling, as if calculated, all animal meats finished roasting at the same time as Feuer served one to each except Silvy, as the Royalty among Dragon Royalties, she probably eats a lot, he gave her three, the size of the meat were big enough. Silvy devoured all meats in an instant before looking towards Feuer with pleading eyes, he couldn''t ignore her as he gave more meat to her, which she devoured, sighing, he said ''''You''ll get fat if you keep eating like that...'''' As he said that, Silvy eyes had now a silver-colored glow but Feuer wasn''t afraid as his eyes also started to glow but differently from her, his eyes were glowing in a golden color ''''Try do to anything and I will show why no one can defy the Golden Phoenix...'''' he said in a voice only her could hear as his body exuded a majestic aura, ethereal like the Universal Laws, one that nobody can defy except him and himself. He''s not a fan of being hit by woman, not only women but by nobody, he''s not a masochist, as his majestic aura was exuded, everyone, unconsciously, backed off a few steps while Silvy bowed her head, a sign that she wouldn''t defy him, approaching her while removing his aura, he patted her head ''''Sorry for that but I''m not a masochist...'''' he said while apologizing. ''Heh, my plan worked...'' Silvy thought while feeling the warmth his hands were giving, a small smile appeared on her beautiful and delicate face, she knew, of course, that someone like Feuer, the Golden Phoenix, Royalty among Phoenix royalties, Empress, or in this case, Emperor of all Gods, including the Four Primordial Gods, wouldn''t be afraid of her and wouldn''t accept any act of her against him. Feuer felt surprisingly strange, something inside him was saying that he was tricked but he was still patting Silvy as Layla suddenly interjected between them as Feuer noticed ''Oh, the famous separating woman?'' he thought to himself while remembering all animes he watched back then where one of the romantic interest would separate the main lead of another romantic interest with the famous descending arm. ''Well, I''ll just make myself dumb'' Feuer thought to himself before saying ''''Hmm, is there something wrong, Layla?'''' he said as Layla''s eyes wandered around ''''N-no, why do you t-think so?'''' she said while shuttering, Feuer thought she was cute with her now entire face being red as an apple ''So she''s the shy type, hm...'' he thought while nodding to himself. ''''Well, it''s just that you''re so red, are you with a fever?'''' Feuer said before resting his forehead against her, she was, indeed, with high temperatures but he knew it wasn''t really a fever, she was just having the famous extreme blushing. Unconsciously, Layla backed off a step due to her shyness before she looked around ''''I''ll eat something...'''' she said in a barely audible voice as she went to the fire pit, where roasted meat was served. ''So easy to tease...'' Feuer laughed inwardly in a somewhat sadistic manner, he discovered recently that his sadistic side awakens when teasing someone that is considered a friend to himself, however, he doesn''t feel any fun teasing males, only females, which is something good in Feuer views since he''s straight. Sighing, he went to his tent to sleep as Silvy followed him silently, seeing her bold move, Layla also silently followed, the victim of their ''''attacks'''' had already lied down on a bed he took from his near-infinite inventory and slept almost instantaneous, sighing, they went to their own tents. Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 62 Knowledge 2 In the middle of the night, Feuer left his tent and brought the young John out of his own as the latter said groggily after waking up so suddenly ''''What is it, Feuer-nii-san? I''m slweepy...'''' ''''We will start your training, while others are sleeping, you''ll train...'''' As Feuer said that, he held John shoulder as they disappeared without a trace before appearing in the middle of the forest, it was a circular, small and open camp with trees surrounding it, looking around, Feuer nodded before he said ''''Were you taught how to fight on the Royal Palace?'''' John nodded as Feuer said ''''That''s good, then, show me what you know, come at me with all you got, with that, I''ll be able to know your flaws and so on...'''' Without delay, John rushed towards Feuer while trying to use his poor control over Mana as he hadn''t trained with it yet, despite having innate memories about it, the first thing he did was to sleep, after all, no train till then, he used his palms to attack as Feuer sidestepped and used two of his fingers to hit the young boy arm, making his stance break apart. ''''You''re attacking without any means to counter-attack in case someone dodges your attack, as soon as you notice that someone dodged your attack, retreat immediately, just for you to know, I''m not even using superior strength, I''m maintaining my strength at the exact same as yours...'''' Feuer said while instructing his disciple, that only nodded as they continued to ''''fight'''', actually, torture should''ve been a better way to describe it as John wasn''t able to land even one attack on his master, only receive attacks. After nothing but ten minutes, John was on the ground, gasping for air as he said ''''Feuer-nii-san... huff, you''re really... huff, strong....'''' Smiling inwardly at his disciple since even after not landing any attack, he didn''t give up, waving his hand, Light Element gathered on his hands before showering John with it, in an instant, all of the sweat and exhaustion of the boy disappeared, Feuer said ''''What I just used is what you know as Healing Magic, it doesn''t necessarily needs to have an element added but there are two elements which you can use to increase its healing properties: Water and Light, the one I used is called ''Holy Heal'' while the one with Water Element is called ''Gentle Heal''...'''' John''s had sparkles appearing around him as he felt all exhaustion disappearing, running towards Feuer, he said with pleading eyes ''''OOOH! Feuer-nii-san, please teach me, pleaaaase!'''' Shaking his head to dispel these thoughts, Feuer concentrated on passing knowledge to his disciple ''''Sit in the lotus position and focus in your inner space, a place where you find peace, where your Elemental Spirits, source of your Element, are waiting patiently your call...'''' he said as John nodded before concentrating. [John P.O.V] I fought against my nii-san today, he''s also my master and woah, he''s so strong, I didn''t think he was so strong, he pointed every flaw I was showing, I can''t understand how he can see so many flaws, I thought my stance was perfect, I have much to learn, hn, hn! ''''Sit in the lotus position and focus in your inner space, a place where you find peace, where your Elemental Spirits, source of your Element, are waiting patiently your call...'''' I heard Feuer-nii-san saying as I followed his commands and soon, I found myself in a enormous place, it looks to be infinite, is that my inner space? No, nii-san called it ''Consciousness'', this place seems cool. ''''Concentrate...'''' He said to me as I nodded again, I almost lost concentration here, looking around, I saw two glowing things, they felt familiar but strange to me at the same time, I felt warm while looking at them as I slowly drew them around me, instantly, I opened my eyes as two glowing spheres were on the surface of my palm, they have a faint outline of humans, it''s slightly fun, in my opinion... [Third Person P.O.V] ''He''s talented...'' Feuer noted the obvious before he said ''''These two glowing spheres are your Elemental Spirits, they''re named ''Light and Darkness Spirit'', most Elemental Spirits are shown as objects, beasts or the like, the representation of the element, an Elemental Spirit being the element itself is extremely rare and very few through history had them...'''' ''''Feel your Elemental Spirits, connect your own Spirit with theirs and draw your Elements, you don''t need to do this quickly, do it slowly so that you can get accustomed to them and after more time, you''ll be able to do it instantly...'''' Feuer added as three glowing spheres moved around his back continuously. Then, he summoned Goldy ''''Look, this is Goldy, he''s my Elemental Spirit...'''' Feuer said as John''s hand approached Goldy face, trying to pet him, however, the latter moved his head away while harrumphing, laughing inwardly, Feuer said ''''Goldy, don''t be shy, he''s my disciple, let him pet you, sigh, to think you''re such shy boy...'''' he teased as the golden-colored Phoenix eyes widened visibly while taking it as a challenge. John giggled as he started to pet Goldy ''''You''re so fluffy, I thought Elemental Spirits were, um... spiritual? You have a physical body, amazing!'''' he said as sparkles appeared around him, Goldy nodded proudly while thinking ''Boy, no wonder you were accepted as a disciple by my partner, you know how amazing I am...'' Just then, Feuer heard his younger brother crying ''It''s time to feed him, I guess...'' he thought to himself before saying to John as Goldy went back to his consciousness ''''Your training for today is over, tomorrow we will start your physical training, it''ll be like that, one day will be training your body and the other will be training your spiritual capabilities, there''s no use of knowing how to use your Elements if you can''t even defend yourself properly if someone attacks you in hand-to-hand combat...'''' John nodded as they disappeared from place, the young boy entered his tent and slept soundly, he was tired mentally, after all. As for Feuer, he took a bottle filled with milk from his near-infinite inventory before feeding Damon, while it wasn''t useful as breast milk, he could use his Mana to make it useful as one, he had prepared hundreds of them, after all, after Damon was once again sleeping, he started to meditate, he now had time to train properly. Link --> patre on.com/imnatsui] 63 Next Kingdom 1 [Feuer P.O.V] I was, once again, in my consciousness as I drew the Mana surrounding me towards my body, slowly strengthening both my Spirit and Body, something that I learned through the months is that every mage has a different kind of spirit, not the consciousness itself but the source, it was different. Anyway, my purpose in coming here is simple: I want to get in touch with the two glowing spheres, after seeing my only disciple Elemental Spirits, I thought that maybe I could get in touch with them, his Elemental Spirit - Light & Darkness Spirit, they have spiritual bodies and while they can''t talk, they''re a special bunch, being sentient, which is actually rare, I wonder why more than one people I met till now have them, John and Luar, that I discovered to have the Galaxy Fire Spirit as his Elemental Spirit, a special kind of Fire. However, differently from John, even till the last time we met, his Galaxy Fire Spirit sentient part hadn''t awakened and could only receive orders and follow it mindlessly, I didn''t know it was sentient till Goldy informed me, though, this Galaxy Fire seems to be one of the rarest out there, he informed me that every element has a special bunch except Light and Darkness. A good example of a Lightning Elemental Spirit special bunch is Liz ''Purple Lightning'', the only difference is that it isn''t sentient, uh, I lost myself in thoughts again... I should try to connect with them before it happens again, haha... I decided to approach the white sphere before the black one because of obvious issues: Life would obviously be safer than Death, while the Life Spirit, as Goldy like to call it, means Creation, Death means Destruction, don''t know you but I prefer Creation when it comes to something directed to myself, I''m not a masochist, after all. Goldy was standing at the Life Spirit side as he looked towards me with narrowed eyes ''''Are you sure that you want to contact them? I don''t think you''re ready yet, even till now, you can only hold our complete transformation for five minutes, it won''t change till you master your own, you''re an Our¨¢nios Phoenix whose race was sealed, having only a part of your innate memories...'''' He said before continuing ''''You were born as a human, thus being able to use both races forms while not losing one of them, having the good aspects of both, however, I don''t think you''re prepared to touch the realm of Life and Death till you are far above the strength of mortals...'''' I nodded but I still thought to myself that no pain would bring no gain so I said to him ''''No use not trying at least once, right?'''' he sighed as I held my hand forward, touching the white sphere. [Third Person P.O.V] Feuer blood went to his throat as he puked a lot of blood, his vision blurry as he was weakened, this was something that happened when your flow of Mana went chaotic, what happened to him, however, was much stronger than normal backslashes as he had tried to touch a realm he wasn''t prepared to, he tried his best to stay awake but his consciousness started to fade away, Goldy managed to make him stay awake, by sending his own Mana reserves to Feuer, calming the latter flow. ''Thanks, Goldy...'' Feuer said in his mind before thinking to himself ''Well, no pain no gain but in this case, many pains meant no gain...'' he laughed inwardly while feeling huge amounts of pain, he had, however, grew accustomed to feeling high deals of pain in order to be tougher and have higher resistance towards it, he didn''t even flinch while feeling his insides hurting. Sighing due to the fact he couldn''t achieve his goal, Feuer decided not to meditate this night as he went to sleep, in what seemed to be the blink of his eyes, he opened it again, this time being greeted by the warm sunlight and his younger brother saying ''''Bwoder'''' continuously. ''''Hungry?'''' Feuer said to his younger brother even though he''s sure the latter doesn''t understand much he says, however, he was surprised after seeing Damon nodding his head cutely as his big and round eyes blinked innocently, with his bro-con senses hitting continuously on his head, Feuer picked a milk bottle and brought it up to Damon mouth, that drank it hungrily, in mere ten seconds, all of the milk had been drunk as the young Hero blinked his eyes, as if saying he wanted more. ''It makes sense since he indeed grew up a bit, it''s rather convenient the fact that he grows up extremely faster compared to humans...'' Feuer thought to himself amusedly before feeding more to his younger brother, that finally felt satisfied, he made sure to use Mana to make Damon absorb all the nutrients properly, not making any go to waste. After that, he went to the where the fire pit was, after the night, the fire had long disappeared, with nothing else to do, Feuer picked up Damon and started to play with him, putting him on the ground ''''Damon, try walking to me...'''' he said while using simple words as his younger brother giggled before doing as he said. However, he couldn''t walk properly so he crawled cutely on the grass, on the middle of the way, he simply decided to lay on the grass, Feuer thought ''Does he thinks the grass is fluffy?'' Sighing, he picked Damon and put him on the crib before making it float around as his younger brother giggled even more while pumping his small fist on the air, feeling the wind gushing through his face, that had a surprisingly satisfied yet cute expression, Feuer almost had a nosebleed seeing it ''''You, the Golden Phoenix, noblest being that exists, is acting like that, gross...'''' Goldy quietly said on his consciousness as he shivered slightly. With a poker face, Feuer said in his mind ''I don''t get what you mean...'' before saying in a calm voice that reverberated through everyone ears ''''Time to wake up, we have the entire day to walk...'''' he said as his entire Adventurer Team slowly left their tents with sleepy expressions.

They only nodded in agreement before Lez started to talk ''''Mm, I want to rest a bit, we just woke up, also, we can also start to talk for a bit, you know, though we''re an Adventurer Team, we barely know each other except for me, Liz and Layla...'''' Feuer thought that what he says makes sense so he used the little amount of knowledge in Wood Magic he has after training for a bit and created a bench made of wood for them to sit around the now extinguished fire pit, Liz was the one to start their conversation as she asked curiously ''''So, Silvy, we know that you''re a Dragon and that you''ve innate memories, we don''t know your precise race, though, can you explain more about it?'''' Silvy nodded ''''My race is ''Our¨¢nios Dragon'' which means Heavenly Dragon, however, I''m a special species, the Silver Dragon, my element is ''Ice'', a special kind of it - I can create something similar to Cold Flames, it is different it since they''re purely flames with precise control to decrease the temperature, mine is literally Ice with such low degrees that they take up the form of Flames, basically, it has the illusion of Flames but it is Ice, confusing, hn...'''' s She said as everyone face had now a shocked expression, well, except Feuer, he was only a bit surprised, then, Lez was the one to ask now ''''Can you explain about the Heavenly Dragons? I never heard about it...'''' ''''Well, it is exactly what it means, Heavenly Dragons, however, they can also be called Universal Dragons, they''re the Royalty of the Dragon Race, not the kind that is on this realm, they''re nothing but True Dragons, they can become Divine Dragons with training but never Heavenly Dragons, as for me, a Silver Dragon, I''m Royalty even among Dragon Royalty, a superior kind of them...'''' Silvy said, proud clearly showing in her eyes, for the first time, Layla felt inferior to the girl in front of her. However, she was curious about something, asking the question that was in everyone mind, including Silvy ''''Feuer, when I found you on the tree, you were injured and probably fleeing from something, we also never got to know your origins, can you tell us about it and about yourself? I guess after these days we did requests you can at least trust us about that, right?'''' Feuer nodded, he indeed trusts them, not completely, however, his Kingdom is already destroyed so there''s no harm in saying about it, even if they start to guess if he was the one responsible for the dark sky phenomenon, he doesn''t really care since sooner or later they''ll discover about it. ''''However, he was the Clan Leader son so nobody dared to do anything to him, the boy was determined to get the stronger he could, the maximum an ordinary body without Mana could get, so during many time, he was stronger than the normal kids, with Martial Arts training, he slowly accumulated experience and used it to his advantage, sooner or later the kids would surpass him...'''' Feuer continued as they listened attentively. ''''He used the knowledge to his advantage and started to teach the kids for them to get stronger...'''' Feuer said but was interrupted by Lez, that said with a raised eyebrow ''''Wouldn''t this make them stronger than him sooner than he expected? Why was he doing this? Is he dumb?'''' Liz, Layla and Silvy laughed at him while Feuer laughed inwardly before continuing ''''The boy knew they would get stronger so he taught them, when they got stronger than him, some years had passed but they respected him for teaching him so no one bullied him, they respected his knowledge, a few more years passed as one day, the boy had a lucky encounter, gaining the ability to feel and sense Mana, he learned that his ability to do so was sealed!'''' He said as they gasped in shock, developing some theories if it was a plot of a Clan Elder or something, unfortunately, this is somewhat common in clans, an Elder trying to overthrow the Clan Leader ''''He got stronger and stronger, his mother had died many years ago and his father fell in love with a woman, she wasn''t an ordinary woman, she loved him just like his mother did, like a true mother would, over time, the boy started to think of her as one and was discovered she was pregnant the day she married to his father...'''' He said before taking a breath and continuing ''''Nine months passed as the boy was born, the Demon King was attacking and when he was born, rays of light shot towards the sky, signaling the birth of the Hero, the Demon King noticed it and sent one of his commanders, the mother had died giving birth and the commander tortured the boy father and closed ones till death, when the boy arrived, he couldn''t take it, he lost control and destroyed the whole Kingdom accidentally...'''' Everyone face sunk after hearing this, Liz and Silvy had gathered tears in their eyes as Layla thought of something but let Feuer continue ''''The boy, however, avenged his father and close ones by torturing the Demon Commander ten times worse than he did to his parents before killing him, he woke up and saw the destruction he caused after losing control, he felt guilty, more guilty than anything, however, he had to be strong for his brother that had just been born and for his friends, whose he managed to save by sending them away...'''' he said. Liz, Lez and Silvy smiled, knowing the story ended ''''well'''' for the boy, however, Layla question made their smiles disappeared ''''Feuer, the boy... you''re the boy, aren''t you?'''' she asked as they realized the truth, they had been listening so attentively that they hadn''t noticed it, Feuer looked towards Layla before replying in a simple manner ''''Yes, it''s me...'''' ''''Anyway, we need to go towards the next Kingdom, where we''ll have our ranks advanced to the next level officially...'''' Feuer said before using his Mana to make the crib with his brother inside to float in a gentle manner as they went away in silence.

''Heard that, partner? I can see when someone is saying the truth and I can feel that not only him but also the three girls trust you completely, they treat you like a real friend would, don''t waste their friendship...'' Goldy said in his mind, there''s not anyone in the world that understand Feuer as he does currently, he know his partner needs someone to trust, someone whom he can rely on. Feuer looked towards Lez and nodded weakly, thinking about what he just said and what Goldy said as his feelings became chaotic, he wasn''t sure on how to treat it. [Silvy P.O.V] I looked silently towards my husband-to-be, I had dreamt of him since I appeared on the world, one year ago, when I was in the boundless, dark space, with nothing but the void around me, I felt weak, such irony, a Silver Dragon, one of the Primordial Gods, feeling weak, my predecessor was always so strong, losing only to the Primordial Goddess - Golden Phoenix, nobody, including the Four original beings, were superior to them, all of them were inferior. While my predecessor, the original Silver Dragon, fell in love with the Golden Phoenix, she didn''t love him back, however, she promised that in the future, her descendant would have the chance to fall in love with his descendant, me, I don''t love him purely because of this stupid promise, I had dreamt of him during an entire year and saw his image, feelings and life every day, I had fallen in love over time and it hurts in the depths of my soul the fact that he''s so broken inside. He, that had lived happily, gained true happiness, lost it in a single day and the location of his friends being unknown, what maintain him from insanity is his knowledge about his friends still being alive and his brother, that has to grow peacefully. I want to know more of him, the man that I can rely on, the only that can make me, that is, by the way, extremely proud, feel safe. [Third Person P.O.V] Everyone could see a faint outline of one of the Eisen Kingdom capitals, it had resplending lights on two clocktowers, standing proud and attracting all attention nearby, as if to say how the city is bright and happy. It was named ''Ironwood City'' due to its economic power being generated by the Iron mines it has and its Wood production, it is a very lively city governed by the Eisen Royal Family and the Holz Clan, the Royal Family their Palace stated between the two capitals. ''''As the rumors says, it''s a beautiful city, indeed...'''' Liz said as they nodded in agreement, however, their curiosity laid on the Mool City, they had heard that there are channels connecting water everywhere, Layla was especially curious about it since she wanted to find if anyone could help her with her Water Element, not knowing that Feuer himself would be able to do so. As they approached the gate, a guard shouted ''''Halt! State your business in the city and show your Identity Cards!'''' One of the guards looked over Layla, Liz and Silvy lustfully but quickly hid it after seeing the Adventurer License Feuer took from his pocket ''A S-Rank Adventurer...'' he thought in complete fear but felt relief right after it. Feuer threw a Platinum Coin towards the Guard that looked over the girls lustfully as he said ''''Think of this as a sign of appreciation...'''' As they entered the City, not many minutes after it, they heard a painful and miserable scream on the City Entrance, Layla looked playfully towards Feuer before saying ''''You did it to the Guard, right? You can''t hide it from me, it was because he looked lustfully towards me, isn''t it? Ara~'''' Feuer looked towards her before saying emotionlessly ''''He looked not only towards you but also towards Liz and Layla, these type of people are scum, I just did a simple thing, in the Platinum Coin, I placed a curse that destroyed his crotch area, even with medicine, he won''t be able to recover his younger brother...'''' John, that was on Feuer''s shoulder, said in pure innocence ''''His younger brother died, Feuer-nii-san? I hope he''s ok, it must be sad...'''' ''''...'''' Everyone was speechless but they decided not to say anything, Lez looked towards Feuer before saying ''''You don''t do these things frequently, do you?'''' He nodded ''''I was known as the Nut Destroyer Prince back then, on my Kingdom academy, there were many bullies....'''' Feuer said indifferently as Lez shuddered before swearing to the Universal Laws that he won''t ever fight against his Team Leader. ''If you keep saying things like that, they will be afraid of you, partner...'' Goldy mocked Feuer in his mind as the latter shrugged his shoulders before saying ''''Let''s go to the best Inn on this city, if we will stay there for a few days, we need to be in the best place, money is overflowing to me, anyway...'''' ''''Feuer-nii-san, how much money do you have?'''' John asked with sparkles around him, curious if his master would buy many toys for him. Seeing John thoughts instantly, Feuer said ''''I have many, enough to buy many, many toys, but now, we''ll go to the Inn, I heard there''s an Inn named ''Golden Iron Inn'', not really creative but I also suck at names so I''m not one to judge, let''s go...'''' It didn''t take them long before arriving at the Inn, they only needed to show their Adventurer License before buying their own rooms, Feuer bought two rooms, one of the boys and another for the girls, Silvy was reluctant but still complied after sighing two times in sequence. Link --\u003e patre on.com/imnatsui] 66 Ironwood City 2 Meanwhile, in an unknown Kingdom, a golden-haired girl stood by, looking towards the sky, her hair had beautiful shades of gold, coupled with an aura of holiness around her, the girl looked as if she was an angel, not only due to her angelical appearance but also due to her aura. Her eyes, however, were a bit lost, she was looking aimlessly to the sky, only getting back to her normal, somewhat cheerful eyes after a woman with a white-colored dress suddenly appeared next to her before saying ''''I know that you''re mourning over the boy, however, you need to understand and get over it, the boy wouldn''t survive such strength, one that could turn a Kingdom to dust...'''' The girl nodded as another boy, with strangely similar golden-colored hair and a holy aura around him appeared before patting her back ''''Don''t worry, we''ll find who did it to him and to our family...'''' the boy said as she nodded once again, the woman smiled slightly before saying ''''You two have talent beyond ordinary people, a talent that was wasted in a Low Ranking Kingdom, you, that should''ve been hailed as the Holy Saint and Saintess respectively, had their talent wasted for over 7 years, however, don''t worry, with my guidance, you''ll catch up to even the geniuses from the Holy Kingdom, you''ll have your revenge...'''' The twins nodded before the woman touched them and disappeared, leaving nothing but traces of lightning sparks. Eisen Kingdom, Ironwood City. ''''Wooooah, nii-san, they''re selling toys that move by themselves, just need to inject a bit of Mana and they move!'''' John shouted at Feuer''s ears excitedly, the latter sighed, this was already the tenth toy that his young disciple wanted, as a good Master, he can''t reject it. ''''I had an idea, I remember a good toy that will even help with your training...'''' Feuer said mysteriously as he got John''s attention, that completely ignored the toy he was wanting right now and listened attentively ''''But it''s a secret, you can''t tell your sister about it...'''' Knowing it was a secret, the young boy eyes narrowed in pure excitement ''''So I can''t yell Layla-nee-san about it, it must be a really cool secret...'''' he thought out loud before he said excitedly ''''Show me, show me!'''' Then, Feuer patted the young boy head before saying ''''We''ll start the training in a few minutes, I''ll show you there...'''' as he said that, John pouted in dissatisfaction but remembering he would receive a new toy, he smiled cheerfully. ''Having a disciple can be surprisingly satisfying, huh? It''s like he''s my son...'' Feuer thought as a spiritual image of Goldy appeared next to him, unable to be seen by anyone except his partner as he nodded ''Indeed, indeed...'' he said before disappearing. They then returned to the Inn they rented as Layla looked towards Feuer as she said ''''He behaved correctly? I hope he did, otherwise, I''ll need to talk with him, alone...'''' ''''Shameless...'''' Layla said with narrowed eyes but smiled, knowing her brother did good, she would, however, smack him many times if she learned how many toys John wanted. ''''I''ll go to train him now'''' He said in a simple manner before both him and John, that was on his shoulders, disappearing in a flash of white-colored light, Layla sighed before her eyes widened slightly in excitement, remembering that the twins'' Lez and Liz told her about the game Feuer introduced to them, smiling slightly, she went to the girl''s room, where they would play the game. Meanwhile, Feuer and John appeared in the middle of the forest in what seemed like teleport as the former said ''''Well, well, let''s start, here''s the toy I promised...'''' a sword was thrown in the ground as John picked it curiously before realizing he was tricked. Pouting, he said ''''Feuer-nii-san, I''m a Mage, not a Cultivator to use swords, I want to learn cool magic and the cool things mages do!'''' Shaking his head, Feuer said ''''This isn''t how things works, a cool magic isn''t going to make you survive, you''ll need both strong body and mind, what if your spell is blocked and a cultivator you''re fighting gets in front of you? The result is simple: Death'''' His words were by no means soft, maybe even harsh but he didn''t want a naive disciple, he would hone him into a true warrior, one that would be strong in both body and mind, looking towards John, he said ''''You''re different from ordinary humans, John. You''re what some call ''Spiritual Human'', you awakened directly at the Spiritual Manifestation realm, however, you have little to no control over your Mana or Elements, which is why we''ll train with the sword...'''' ''''We''ll train both your Sword Skills and Mana Control, if you can control your Mana correctly, you''ll be able to use your Elements correctly too, I want that by the end of the day, you can coat the Sword completely with Mana, however, this isn''t an ordinary Sword, it is a Tier 4 one that I got not much time ago, it is much harder to coat it with Mana, however, if you can do it, I''ll reward you with the toy you wanted, the one that moves when injected with Mana...'''' Feuer said, giving off a huge temptation to the young boy, that took the bait and started to train. He started by slashing his sword continuously as Feuer approached him and hit his head ''''You''re holding it wrongly, you''re too tense, relax your body and let the air guide you...'''' he said, not sure if his disciple would get it but still decided to say so, the boy nodded and corrected his stance as Feuer hit the back of the young boy leg. ''''If you hold it while standing in such bad position, you''ll have many openings that even beginners wouldn''t...'''' Feuer said as the day passed slowly with him guiding his disciple, at the end of the day, the young boy clothes were drenched in sweat, he barely had been able to coat the sword with Mana, a huge leap, though the fact that he was born at such realm indeed helped, he was just adapting over time. Smiling inwardly at his disciple, that had fallen unconsciously after the training, Feuer waved his hands as Water appeared out of nowhere, gently washing away the sweat from John body, then, he touched the boy clothing as he generated heat, drying off the water, his scent wasn''t as bad as before but he still needed to take a bath, feeling satisfied with his disciple progress, in a flash of white-colored light, they appeared once again in the Inn, as if they teleported. Feuer felt happy, today had been, indeed, a good day for him. Link --\u003e patre on.com/imnatsui] 67 Note @@Hello, everyone, hope you''ve been enjoying the novel till now? Well, I hope so, nyahaha.
