Around 7 am a man seems in his last twenty walks out of his apartment building and he was walking to the bus stop, his face reveals tiredness. Waiting for the bus he starts looking at the sky, there¡¯s was star shower that could marvel anyone that had their eyes turn to the sky, but for him, it was like he was looking at something that he long looks to conquer but could never touch it. In the orbiter around earth two meteorite collides with each other deviating one of then in direction to earth, was the meteorite decent in the atmosphere it starts the burn faster and faster letting only less than a fraction of it original size, but there¡¯s some kind of pattern on this remaining piece of meteorite and the pattern seems to have a life of it own as was it move around the meteorite.

After taking the bus he arrived at like seems to be a game store, as he was to open the front door an intense light behind him emanate, before he could see anything his consciousness fade as everything in the radius of 20 meters was obliterated to smoke. Chapter 1 - A good start...or not! The Empire of Leriathomb covers an area of around 1 million square miles. Of this, 25% (267 thousand sq. miles) is arable land, and 74% (792 thousand sq. miles) is wilderness. and has a total population of 74 million people whit the largest city has a population of 146 thousand people, the second-largest 73 thousand. There are 6 other cities of note in the kingdom and 48 towns. The remaining population lives in numerous small villages, isolated dwellings. The town of Aelhyrst covers an area of approximately 83 acres, with a total population of 5010 people approximately. The town has the home of a noble family the Ingalls. The peace is kept by 25 guardsmen, and there are 6 advocates to assist with legal matters. For those more concerned about their soul, there are 5 priests. Not far away from the civic district known for its street lined with carved stone statues. A mansion of two floors stone-walled building, with a small beautiful walled yard and garden and finely-crafted furniture. This residence is the accommodations of the noble family Ingalls, they are known for their stubbornness when coming to their decision. Inside a gorgeous bedroom lying down on the bed there, a man seems in his 30 years and his eyes no more reveal any colour of life, by his side there another man holding his hand. "HAH hah..." the man gave a joyful laugh as he was holding his hand to confirm his death. "You can rest peacefully my brother in law, I will take care of everything that your,... " he stops as he looks to the middle of the room where there''s was a baby crib " And don''t worry your little baby will follow you next, you just have to wait for a bit". "Hic " there''s was a cute sound in the room and afterwards there''s was a crying sound of a baby coming from the crib. The man approaches the crib taking a look at this crying baby saying in a gentle tone " Sch Sch ... Don''t need to cry cute little Finy, I''m not gonna kill you,... Yet" then get out of the room not caring about the baby cry. The moment he closes the door the baby cry stop as if was waiting for him to get out and if the man was here he would see a look of vicious in the so proclaimed cute baby but he would be more shocked if he could hear the baby though. '' Not if I kill you first ''. 7 years passed in a blink of eyes, a boy sat a the bed tip it''s was already morning there''s a band of heavy cloud with a gloomy feel to the place, he was if remembering the first time he opens his eyes after and find himself in a strange place and surrounding by unknown people. Then with time he came to understand his situation, he had reincarnated to a new world, his mother had died during her labour and a month later his father had been poisoned by his uncle, and apparently, he was next in his uncle schemes and what most shocked him was that he had learned through books that this world was magic. He used to be a game store manager and had played a lot of Magic games so he was excited to see this new world, but before he needs to solve his uncle problem. Moments later there''s was a knock on the door. Getting up and opening the door he could see a young beautiful face greeting him. "Yes, " said Finy in a lifeless manner. "Good morning Young Lord it time for breakfast" he heard a mild voice. "Ok let go" Said Finy as they walk to the lunchroom. Get in the room he could see his uncle Francis Yournet seated at the main lord chair and by his right there''s was Francis daughter Bilia Yournet, she was around 1 year older than him. Seating By his uncle left he start to eat his breakfast, it was very rare for them to eat together so he assumes that there''s something that he could not be avoided, as he seated his uncle sees him with eyes like seeing a little sheep. After taking a piece of bread and ate, before his uncle could say something he talked. "Uncle Francis I have a request to make you". "Ohh... You can talk my dear nephew" Francis wasn''t expected his nephew to make a suddenly request. "I want to open an orphanage" Francis was surprised by this request he had to expect anything but this. So he answers "Unfortunately we could not afford to keep an orphanage". Finy had expected this so he decides to throw one of his famous family traces. " But uncle I really want to open one and help a kid like the little Wene". Francis take a look at the corner of the room where there''s was a little girl, she was the Wene Finy had picked her when he has 5 and take her him, Francis had tried to get rid of her but Finy cried as he had never cried before so Francis decides to make her Finy private maid.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. "Still little nephew orphanage could only put a weight on our budget" Francis reply to his plea not considering it at all. "But uncle I... I would do anything you want to" Finy decide to throw the bait to his uncle. Hearing this his Francis put a little smile and thought for a bit. "Ok nephew but you have to promise a thing for me". "Anything Uncle"Finy put a happy face when he hears his uncle replied. "You have to marry my little flower, "Francis said as he patted his hand at his daughter had. Actually, Finy was calculated that it was just a matter of time before his uncle forcefully put his daughter to marry him, so delivering his head and asked some little thing in return was the best he could do. "Ok uncle I will marry Bilia," Finy said as he put on the most cheerful face he could. It happens that he and Bilia are quite friendly with which others as his uncle had made her follow him around since he could walk. It was quite obvious for a grow up what was Francis intention from the beginning. With finy uncle permission he set an orphanage, he didn''t have a gentle heart to do charity his main objective was to create capable people and select the most loyal and put by his side. Times flies and then 7 years and a half passed. The town of Aelhyrst was built along the banks of a crystal clear river and its grace is matched by the backdrop of tall mountains and the dense tree of the Blyt Forest which have helped shape the town to what it is today. The Blyt forest was home to low strength beast and to get there one had to get through a series of a mountain, that why it was not enviable by the bigger noble family and had a little flow of adventures compared to other town and city closed to the beast forest. The main street of Aelhyrst it''s marked by the comes and goes of people. In the busy street there''s was a carriage that didn''t look so fancy but it attracts the attention of people by the symbol imprinted on it, it was a mountain with a sword stuck to it. Inside it sat a chestnut, shaggy hair that gently hangs over a skinny menacing face, clear hazel eyes, set appealingly within their sockets, watch carefully over the street, she was Wene and at her opposite there was a dark, sleek hair awkwardly hangs over a handsome, big round blue eyes, set delicately within their sockets, watching watchfully over the street. ''15 years already passed....'' Finy gave heavy sigh" The day of my wedding with Bilia is getting close, I need to get ready" Wene hearing this said, "But my lord we still need to find the right poison for...". "Well if we could not find the poison then we have to go with the dead risk way," said Finy After 7 years with his orphanage, he forms a small organization under his uncle''s nose composed of 5 people, the first was him, the second was Wene, she was 16 years old and had become strategic under his command, 3rd was Alhelm he had around 17 and was strong and had a quick reaction speed to the situation, the 4th was Blafa around 18 years old, although he was skinny but could run fast than even an adult and the last was Elen the youngest of the group she had 15 years but got a charming body of and adult Finy had tried to make her his maid but was stopped by Bilia. Finy turning his gaze off the street and put on Wene "Do you have it?" "Yes my lord" Wene said as she takes a baby fist-size stone-like object and gave it to Finy. He takes it and looks at it, the stone-like thing in his hand is the famous magical beast core it was not supposedly difficult to get one as a noble, but his uncle made it very difficult to even see one till today. To practice magic in this world one first need to start by trying to feel the magic energy in their surrounding then have a lot of money to be sent to the Magic Academy or luck to find a mentor. As he concentrated on it, he felt a trace of magic inside the magic core, a burning sensation radiated from his back. He could feel a warm trace of energy coming out of the magic core and enter his body forcefully. In his back, there was a birthmark although none of his parents had one. They all died before doubt something and his uncle didn''t out much interest in him. His birthmark resembles a vortex and the most amazing thing is that at this moment the vortex seems to gain life as it starts to unroll and change into a strange pattern. Finy could only feel the pain come from his body and his vision blurred, strangely there was an explosion of light making him impossible to see anything. As the light slowly fell down he could see a shelf filled whit what seems to be a game box. He was shocked because what he was seen complete resemble his previous world game store that he had worked at. It took a while till he could calm down and start to analyze his surround, the first thing he strange has that almost every game was grey and had no colour. He approaches one of the games at the front, this space has been reserved for new games. He carefully takes one of the games but nothing happens, so he analyzes the game it was written [Halo: Battle world 2] but the box seems to be impossible to be open, after a while, he gave up and start to look for other to analyze. He moves to the first shelf there was a lot of games that look grey and some that still has their original colour. The first game he could see that still had his colour has [GTA V] so he chose it. Again carefully picking and seeing nothing happen, he decides to open it to see if couldn''t be open like the greys ones. The moment he open game box there''s a light coming from the box involving all his surround, closing his eyes because of the intense light he suddenly feels a breeze o wind sweeping by him. Then he slowly opens his eyes, when his eyes are wide opened then his mount start to do the same thing but in a faster manner. He was standing in a seemingly truly gorgeous urban street that resembles his previous world. Its grace is matched by the backdrop of pristine. The skyline is crowded with soaring skyscrapers and even from afar they manage to display their beauty. "This...." Chapter 2 - Starting A Big Show He found it difficult to understand what going on, he was standing in a small square! Small square surrounded by skyscrapers, He could see a few cars parked. But the whole area was empty, quiet and without any signal of people. Forcefully inhibits the feeling of shock, he walks along the road in a circle, and then went straight to an apartment building door and forcefully open it, he turns to the first apartment and went in. When he turned on the light showing a typical American family living room, looking at the wall of LCD TV and a game console. He was assured this world and his world are identical. Turn on the TV, all the channels are white, without any program show. In the bedroom, he found that is clean and blankets neatly placed. He decides to take a little nap, he thought this is too much for one day and his head was hurting as he could not clearly think straight right now. After he wakes up he decides to think for a bit. " Could this be inside the game?... but how?" he was murmuring but his voice echoes across the room. He could only think about his death and the warm feeling he had felt before all this happen. He felt fear about this mysterious event, his mind hid only drifting towards alien or his uncle finally deciding to throw him into madness. Think a lot about this he could not surely explain so he put on hold his thought and focus on now. Out the door, the sky was still bright, he chose to explore a bit before trying to figuring out things. He chooses a car that was parked by the side of the building. He breaks the car windows and opened the door, inside to see if he could find some key but no success. He didn''t know how to hack a car so he searches for some other vehicles available. On the lawn, there was a bike not far from where he was. Then he began to travel around the city on a bike. A few blocks away, he confirmed that there''s not any living soul to be seen. But this city is different from the original, this city is like the real thing, everything he sees was real. Next, he felt hungry so he looks for someplace he could eat. He found a fast-food car parked a few blocks away so he eats and drinks soda so he felt full. Next, he keeps exploring around the block. He found the supermarkets, a tech store, clothing shops. After a couple of hours later, the sky starts to darken. He sits on the top of an apartment roof watching the sky with a background sunset. He starts to figure out a way out of here, although he felt that here he is still in a better situation than the previous but he felt fear from not know more about his situation and just sit here hoping for the best, he felt he want more than just this, he starts to think if he could open any game in the store, suddenly he didn''t know why but he felt his thought focusing more and more at the game store, then he felt his surrounding distorting and changing at a speed that his eyes could not follows. He finds himself again backed at the game store, he was thrilled as he watches his surround as he was not stuck inside where he was. He calms and starts looking around, he finds it a bit odd is that every game in the shelf was grey but he didn''t focus on this much, now he wants the see if he could get out of the shop as he did in the game. He starts focusing on the real world, again like the previous time he found himself weirdly attract to a heavy thought, this time his surround didn''t blur but came an intense light that prevents him from seeing clearly. But as his eye start to adapt to the light he could see his surrounding, he was still inside the carriage. "My lord." He heard a sweet musical voice constantly calling and with an anxious tone that grew by each call. "I''m back". He said as he sorts his body into a better position. While looking at Wene he notes that her reaction only is starting to change to a worried one so he assumes that not long at passed. "My lord what h" before she could finish speaking Finy interrupted her. " Tell Alhelm to turn around, we are getting back," Finy said as he looks to his empty hand where was magical beast crystal. Wene notices the missing magical crystal in Finy hand and his odd face that she had never seen. But she conceals her thought was she order Alhelm to turn back. Has Finy arrived at the mansion and went straight to his room and fall on his bed, his body felt so tired that each step he gave was a tremendous effort. When he wakes up the sky was already blackened, he stood in from of the mirror looking at his back, there was nothing important there to take note of, but he could feel something occupying half of his back moving in a strange pattern slowly. He assumes that this is somehow related to his previous experience, so he wanted to confirm tons of thought about his game store even and one of them is that if he could go back to the game store again, so he follows the previous method used to get out. His vision blurred as his surround didn''t resemble his room anymore, he didn''t think being back would be so easy.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. All the game in the store was grey, black desktop and the two doors of the store, he remembers that one to the bottom left is the storage room where that are some other older games that the store used to sell through the internet and the bottom right is an emergency door, all this he hadn''t take note the first time he was here. The most eyes catching was the black sphere that was floating close to the ceiling of the store he assumes that it is the [GTA V] game as he had search for every one of the shelves but didn''t find it. He draws near the sphere and touches it, his surrounding in a flash changed. He observes his surroundings, he found himself on the roof he had been when he exited the game and there''s still the view of the golden sky sunset. The first thing he concluded it when he gets out the time inside freeze. He bends down and picks one of the beer bottles he had drinked last time, he concentrated his thought in the game store, again in a flash he found himself in a bottomless dark place, his mind at this moment enter in a state of panic as he thought of his demise at the moment. Moments later he starts to calm as not had happened to him since he appeared here. He followed a light that seems to be at the end of this bottomless dark. As he passed it he finds himself back to the store through what seems to be the door that leads to the storage room. After reason with himself for a while, he concludes that ever time he take something from the game he would appear in the storage room. He turns his head towards the emergency door exit only to stop his thought to not think what could be an emergency to make him access that door. Holding the empty beer bottle in his hand he concentrates is mind and close his eyes, less than a second he opens his eyes only to be met with a serene room and a dark peaceful sky. Finy seeing this he drew a smile. He felt tired so he decides to continue his experiment later as he takes a little nap. After lot of experiments and thought he concludes some characteristics of game store space 1- There isn''t any living being like animal flies or even ants. There are grass and trees, just simple plant body. The weather work looks normal and the gravity seems normal too. 2- He measures the time difference between the real world and the game space, the result is when he is in the real world the time in the game world complete stop and when he is in the game space one day there is like a minute in the real world. 3- He could bring thing out from the game but could not bring something in the game. The next day he starts to explore the game world better. Finally after getting a map of the city and search for a car that had its key in it The first place he looked for was the weapons shop as the first thing he wants to do was to use this opportunity to solve his lovely uncle problem. Finding the weapon shop he enters it, the first thing that enters his eyes are balconies full of pistols, knives, and throwable weapons. The walls are filled with rifles, shotguns and some machine guns. The first thing Finy did as to take a look at the famous AK47 assault rifles and started shooting. He spends a lot of time pondering how to use it, as this is his first time touching a gun. So after reflecting on the basics of using it Finy start play with the rifle. "Da da da! Dah! "Finy looks at his shooting and as expected after hours playing with it, he had grasped the features and how to use this gun. Accuracy was not his best but not so poor too. Count the circles in the wall there are around six, there are lots of hole in the wall but less than 1/10 of all this hole his in the most center of which circle around and he was only around seven to nine meters away from the wall, if a pro shooter had seen this they probably would laugh their heads off. Two hours late Finy was seated on a chair reading a weapons magazine that he found in the shop. Many of the postures he had practice shooting were not right and he felt this was obvious as his right shoulder was hit multiple times by the rifle recoil and his hand hurts like hell. He assumes that being a soldier is definitely not easy, it''s not like a point and presses the mouse buttons to shoot. In his shooting session, he had noticed that cartridge spreads on the ground would become more and more transparent, slowly disappearing. Returning from the game space. His arm pain reminded him that what he was experiencing is real, but for him, all this still seems like a dream. After so many things he feels too tired, lying in the bed he instantly enters in deep sleep. After a long time, he wakes up but he stood on thinking. He starts thinking about his future doing and how to use the game space to his advantage. He knew that guns probably wouldn''t make him the king of the world, as he had heard tales of powerful mages that could lift mountains whit their magic, men powerful enough to shatter mountains and monsters that could swallow mountains for snacks, but it was sure it would make some littles problem easy to solve. There was a knock on the door, then after a moment the door open revealing Wene entering his room. "Good morning my Lord," Wene said as her face revealed a worried expression, her Lord Finy had to decide to lock himself for 2 days in his room, even to the point of not eating. "Good morning Wewe " Finy respond in a joyful way, he called her Wewe when he was in good mood like now." Something important happens?" Finy asked as he sees Wene face. "No, nothing important my Lord" Wene stop for a bit and resume. "is that Francis had requested your presence later at his office". If some of the employees of the mansion had seen her talking about Lord Francis as if he was some random low citizen they would be shocked. This was due to the Finy was he had played with Wene mind when they are little shaping her mind to see Finy as the only Lord that could exist and made Francis look like a theft. "Ok, I will go there after, but first.." he took looks at the way she talks about Francis he felted ashamed for stirring with a little girl mind back then. "I want you to tell the other that there been big changes of plan. There is gonna be...". Finy looks at her and drew a big smile. "Big Show". Chapter 3 - Better dead than sorry "Before inspiration comes the slaughter" InspiroBot Finy walk through the corridor stopping at the door, and at each side of the door a guard was standing there, he looks at it and sighs, then he knocks on the door. "Come in" Finy did not wait long to hear the replay. He pushes the door open entering the room. Inside elegant fireplaces with fine lines of bright flames emitting a pleasureful smell of scent. Warm air continually lingers in the halls. In the Middle, a long wooden desk stood quietly, covered with a white tablecloth, on top has a silver candlestick and a lot of paper filled with letters and numbers. At the corner of the room close to the windows looking out to the sky with signals of a storm to come, dressed in a long-sleeved, silky jacket covers him to his waist and is tightly tied with string at the center. The sleeves of his jacket are quite narrow and reach down to just above his wrists, they''re decorated with several thread linings from top to bottom. The jacket has a rectangular neckline which reveals part of the modest shirt worn below it and is worn with a thick cloth band, which is held together by a decorative pin. His pants are simple and quite wide and reach down to his bound cloth shoes. The shoes are made from a rare cloth but are otherwise a simple design. "...Sit " Frances take a look at Finy as he walks to the main chair of the office desk to sit. "I heard you have been lock inside your room for days. I hope you feeling well" Francis said as he reveals a genuinely worried face. "I''m fine uncle, I was just in a bad mood," Finy said not caring much about his uncle expression. "What happened?" Francis asked curiously as not many things seem to change the mood of Finy. "Nothing much is just that Bilia that don''t want Elen in the castle again" fancy said with a sorry expression and throw some basic noble teenager problems. "Oh...you sure can work it out later".Francis lost interest in his nephew daily life quickly. Francis opens one of the desk lockers taking out an envelope "This is the chapel answer about the wedding between you and Bilia..." Francis stops and takes a look at Finy " It will be 2 months from today ". Finy the moment he sees the church of Solis Lumen logo he had to get ready to play along with it. "Oh.. finally, I thought they forgot about it" although he spoke these words inside he wished that this day would have never come. He thought that 2 months his enough time to planning things without flaws. Francis didn''t pay attention much to his nephew''s face, he proceeds to take another envelope from the locker "This is the letter of the count of Briggs, he said the fifth prince his making a tour around here... He would arrive from here 14 days..." Francis pause for a bit. "I want you to accompany him in his stay and... " He seems to hesitate in his speech "You could take this opportunity to make a vow to the Empire of Leriathomb, and then his just wait for when you complete 16 years to officially take control of the lands". Finy hearing these words his face only reveal calm alike posture, but inside he was boiling his uncle words was to test him to see if there any hidden intention on his part. He knows that this is an opportunity because when the last member of the noble family make they vow to the Empire Royal Family he would automatically be recognized as an official lord of his land. Although his uncle had hidden this information it takes him a lot of time to find it out. "Ok, " Finy gives his best to make a normal face, slowly turning his face to one of excitement asking his uncle a lot of questions about the prince. Afterwards, they talk a little about the wedding. Francis asks Finy if he had any requests. "Could you make Elen inside the mansion" Finy didn''t lose this opportunity to make a pose of a horny teenager?. But if he hadn''t discovered the game space he would probably use this in some naive request that somehow would benefit him in taking Francis down. Right now he wanted to put a bullet through his uncle''s head, but he takes a peek at Francis'' hand, there was a ring decorated with gilded linings. If someone outside of the Ingalls family seemed this rings would only think about its value, but he knew that this ring his more than what meet the eyes. This ring is the most valuable treasure of the noble Ingalls family, this ring is a magic ring. he had found some registry about it in the family history book. The ring used to belong to the first generation of the Ingalls family although there isn''t any registry of how the ring origin The magic ring would activate automatically to protect its user from any harm. The ring too as recognizes as the family symbol. That is why he needs to find a perfect way to destroy the ring or at the least broke it. After getting out of the office he starts to think why his uncle decided to rush things out, this is not Francis style. Finy assumes that something that he didn''t know happen, this let him feel uneasy. There is something that could probably ruin his plan. Finy decides to rush his plan and it had to happen before the prince come. "Hey Finy where are you going?" In Finy way he meets with Bilia If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Each year that passed her beauty only grew. Silver, long hair hangs over a bony, lively face. Heavy green eyes, set handsomely within their sockets. Although her beauty was envious by the people of the town, but her personality left a lot to be wished. She had become a tyrant under Finy uncle teaching. She like things her way and Finy was the most one that had to suffer the most in her hands as Bilia sees him as his toy "Hi Bilia" Finy put a beautiful smile on his face, but he had a hard time keeping it as Bilia approaches him. "What are you planning? ... And you just came out of my father offices". "You know! your marriage is already marked. I think that you are gonna be busy for a while" Finy said as he put on a cheerful face. "Hm! Don''t try to change point, and don''t even try the prince, I already know that" Bilia was given Finy a hard time to get rid of her. "Don''t need to yell at me... you see I got a present for you" "So you are really hiding something from me, you better ...." before Bilia could finish her sentence she sees a golden bracelet with a round beautiful blue silver gemstone in it. Bilia eyes sparkle as she takes the bracelet of the Finy hand, she looks at it marvelled. Finy enters the [GTA V ] and looking for jewelleries and pick one whit a gemstone on it. Although golden jewellery was not so much of value to the nobles when it had some kind of gemstone it would be elevated to another standard. this is due to the gemstone value to the mages as they had a lot of use to then and for gemstone not been too abundant. "Don''t think you can buy me with some jewellery. " she was struggling to not show much of excitement on her face. "Of course I''m no trying to do that, it''s just a present just wait for the one I gonna give you on or wedding day" "Oh, it better be more beautiful than this." She walked away as she looked at the bracelet in her hand. Now she had complete forget of Finy. Finy looking at her go and thought to himself '' of course. a pair of handcuffs will be beautiful on you''. He definitely has plans to deal with her later. For him, this is not a fairy tale where the girl would happily jump in his arm after killing her father. Finy walks out of the mansion taking his carriage to the orphanage he needs to better coordinate his plan and evade any possible miscalculation. ----- It''s midnight. There''s a thunderstorm filling the sky. Inside the corridor hall, there is a white mist through the corners in the cover of the dark night. The place the mist pass it let a desolate feel to the place. At end of the corridor, a guard was standing in from of a door. The mist travels till it had reached the guard, the guard eyes start to weigh and increasing with each second, after moments he falls to the ground. In the cover of the night if someone could focus all his attention one could hear steps echoing through the corridor. If one would have seen the owner of these steps he would only see a man in strange clothes and wearing a strange mask over his face revealing only big round blue eyes. This man was Finy and he had initiated his plan. ---- Francis wakes up from his sleep, his eyes reveal tiredness, the years hadn''t been kind to him. His face full of wrinkle and green eyes that each year seems to lose a bit of his colour. There is a heavy feeling in his heart. This feeling only adds height to his already tired body. He didn''t give much attention to this filing, it had been years since he first notes it. The first time he notes it was after he had taken control over his dead brother. Francis because of this feeling that let him uneasy about everything he had become paranoid about, suspecting that even his baby nephew that was just a baby at that time was playing tricks on him, but he slowly convince himself that it was just his mind playing tricks on him. That led him to always wear the magic ring on his finger even when sleeping. It was mid-morning. There''s bright sunshine in the sky. "Good morning my lord" Francis walks the corridor hall receiving greetings from the servants of the mansion on his way to the office. One of the few pleasures he had after years of passing was taking care of the business of the land. Arriving at the door of his office he sees the guard seated on the ground sleeping. "Wake up" Francis wake up the guard in his normal tone of voice the years had taught him patience with others, principally with his servant. Francis didn''t find it strange the guard sleeping at this time of the day. He had seen a lot of times when one would just be on his foot while sleeping. but was the first time he sees it sleeping on the floor. Inside the office, Francis sat in the main chair of the desk. He didn''t start work yet he was thinking about Finy. ''That boy has good talent'', Francis was thinking about the marked business that he came out with by selling market information to the merchant caravan before even arrive at the town. "And he looks to be a bit o mixture between cunning and good heart guy," Francis said this to himself with a bit of upset face. Because every time he and Bilia fight he would come out with some expensive gift to her, Francis was not so pleased because this had caused Bilia to become some spoiled girl that expects unique gift every single time from Francis. Well if Francis knew what Finy had planned for him he would certainly not put the ''good heard guy''. "Well, at least Finy doesn''t seem to have a second thought about me. Maybe I ... " Before Francis could finish his line of thought that was a bright flash of light before his eyes accompanied by hot air sweeping by him with a loud sound that had broken the peaceful trend of the day. On top of a hill not far away from the mansion, there was a man sitting in a comfortable chair holding a strange object close to his eyes. This man was Finy he had been waiting here even before the sun had shined. He was holding military binoculars looking at his uncle through the windows of the office. "Say your last pray to gods" Finy start counting the seconds as he presses the bottom of a remote control device in his hand. There was an enormous explosion. It was as though fists of orange flame had decided to punch its way out of the office. Windows shattered. Smoke and fire rushed out a deadly rainfall of fragment, showered down. A huge piece of the wall had been taken out of the side and the roof of the building. Finy searches carefully through the flames for his uncle body. He would only consider it a success if he could see his uncle dead body. After sweeping the entire area of the explosion with the binoculars Finy could see his uncle body leaning against one of the walls that hadn''t been destroyed by the explosion. Francis could still move his body already been consume by the explosion, there is a river of blood covering the still-intact part of his body. It was clearly that Francis hadn''t died yet, was because of the magic ring that had disperse most of the damage he would have suffered. But the ring had now lost all his power. Finy looking at the Francis injured and it was clearly that Francis would probably die of blood loss, but Finy wasn''t happy enough to wait for him to take his last breath. "Oh F*ck it! Let see if he can take the big one," Finy said as he takes another remote control "Well better dead than sorry" these was his words before pressing the remote control. A pillar of great rags of fire went soaring to the sky as the earth shake and dust start boiling up from the explosion. A series of new flashes broke out, lifting and spreading is destructive power against all that it sweeps by. Then geysers of hot ash and smoke spouted upward. Finy knew the quantity of the bomb he had put in his plan, but he had a hard time believing it had done so much damage. He could see almost half of the mansion destroyed and the other half starting to rage with fire. Chapter 4 - After Events Looking around at the rest of the mansion, this must have been where the fire started. The walls had long since crumbled and in their place stood thick beams of stone, blackened from where the flames had licked at them. The remains ruins of the mansion stood in the pale morning light like a skeleton. It had been so alive, so vibrant. Inside had been a place of love and security, a place with memories of generation after generation. Now the wind whistled through and the steady rain fell right into to the ruin of the mansion. Yesterday it was an inferno, black smoke billowed into the heated air, sending its distinctive aroma over the town. Orange flames blew out the windows and sent horizontal jets of flame out ten feet or more. You could feel the radiating heat on your face from right across the street. The servant could only watch it burn and try the best they could to protect themselves of jets of flame. The most part of the skeleton mansion had survived the fire but blackened and charred. Once the marvellous mansion but now a memory. No one knew what causes this. Well, some people knew, but this would die with them. Finy touched the still-standing wall, watching his brown skin become charcoal grey. This mansion had been his is shelter, and probably would have been his new home it wasn''t for his uncle, but now everything lay dust in his feet. Somewhere in this mess was his life, his memories, the person he had become since he reincarnated. Now he wasn''t sure what to do. In his mind and heart, he had stayed almost 16 years obsessed whit killing his uncle and this kind makes him an obsession addict. He''d been expecting to feel something by touching what was left of the mansion. Some vibrancy in his heart. In the end, all that happened was the smell of smoke and ash filled his mouth, nostrils, and lungs. ................................. Inside a bar in the main street of the Aelhyrst was filled with the noise of drunks yelling and sings. "I heart that was a broken ancient weapon that explodes inside the mansion". said, one man, while taking a drink on the corner of the bar. "That was impossible if was an ancient weapon the town would probably be wipeout of the earth If anything is that his work of a raged dragons." said one of the most drunken men on the table while hiccuping. "You idiot don''t know anything, this is only something that a mage can do ...," said another of the drunk man of the table. He was a mercenary company that protects the merchant''s caravan. The town of Aelhyrst has filled with rumours and gossip of the mansion incident, and the peoples are talking about what they believe to be the cause. This was an event that most people got an eye and their mouth on it was there not much thing to do in their free times. Two days passed in a blink of eye. The rumours are still fresh and growing to some utter nonsense theory. Finy takes the carriage down to the main street of the Town. as he passed by the people in the road his mind start to think about things that he never clearly thought about before. ''Everything here belongs to me, and nobody can take it from me now. Nobody to take my freedom'' Ivy and ferns grew through the crevices of the old winding stone path, which led directly to the colossal structure. This mansion is flanked by rows of skeletal trees swaying gently in the try wind of summer. At its threshold stood the delicate marble fountain, the soft gurgling of the clear water melodic as it resonated in the surrounding silence. Finy had a hard time negotiating this mansion, he had to give a lot of money and some business privileges to the previous owner. The windows light illuminated the office-like room. Finy seated at the chair there was stack and stack of leather paper. He has having a headache because of his action on destroying the mansion and the pile of matter that have accumulated in between these days. ¡°This is one of the official logging areas, and the sawmill is not too far from it. It was the first location that was attacked by the Glowing Beast,¡± Wene said and continue. ¡°The town¡¯s major source of income is the export of lumber, thus, even if we fail to kill the beast, we still need to make sure it doesn¡¯t stay in our territory. Workers fear it, and if the beast keeps staying around, our financial situation will get even worse.¡± A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. "Well do what you think is better," Finy said casually. Wene is the person that Finy trusts the most and now he was in no mood to do this kind of office paper so he put out all the work on her. Finy takes a slow deep breath and said before Wene could bring other matter up. " There still no signal of Bilia?". "No my lord." Wene put the stack of leather paper in his hand on the table and continue. " I send a team of people searching for here. I even put a recompense for anyone that had any information on her whereabouts but only useless information came out" "So still nothing on her" A complicated expression appeared on Finy eyes as he said his words. "My lord I can only assume that the moment the mansion explodes she somehow disappear" Wene assert only the obvious conclusion. "Sigh.... " Finy let out a long sigh. The mysterious disappearance of Bilia, he some out feels that was something that he would definitely have to face and probably would bring him some hard day. " Send Blafa to search for any vestige of her in every town around Aelhyrst she could not have been gone far and I want her to be found even if dead." Finy didn''t like the feeling that something was beyond his hand, for him this his something like his uncle all over again but in a different way. "Yes my Lord I will do that," Wene said respectfully and take a piece of paper from one of the stacks of leather paper and hand it to Finy. "This is the marriage contract that was made by your uncle and the chapel" Finy just takes a look a the paper, taking and putting it in one of the lockers. He decides to keep this contract as proof of its success and not putting much importance on it, it was more like a souvenir of its struggles. "What about the magical beast core that I order" Finy quickly change it topic to one that he is concern about it. "My lord all the stock on the town is empty and I think that it will still take time to start to fill up." and Wene quickly add "And because you decide to buy it all the same time the day after the incident our deposit is at the bottom of the bottom" although Finy mind seen more concerned about magical beast core she knew that Finy mind is very unstable lately as she could hear him screaming all night from his nightmare and sometimes he would scream words never heard before. "Hahaha.... You still worried about money, didn''t I said that no gold is no problem" Finy said in a casual tone. "Just make sure you can get more of magical beast core even if you had to make ask some merchant to bring it." "Ho. send all the group of mercenaries in town to kill that Glowing Beast. Tell them that I will pay all of then a very good amount of silver " Finy add as he remembers of the Glowing Beast that its causing problem in the logging area The Glowing Beast was one of the lowest magical beasts that could exist. their body is soft as a pillow and the only dangerous thing about them is their spit that is poisonous and it glows like a firefly. Even though it is still a hard thing to kill. And especially for a normal human. But nothing that a gang of mercenaries that spend their lives fighting for a penny wouldn''t take care of it for a good sum of silver. "As you wish my lord," Wene said respectfully bowing to leave the room Since after he takes control of his fief every time there was a need of money he would enter the game world and take out a lot of gold to sell to merchants, although he knew that if this continues for some time it would bring some unnecessary troubles but for now. And there are some bad downsides for him too. He assumes that because he made a lot of trips to the game world in a short amount of time lately this had put a toll on his soul. And his late experience gave him more insight into the game world. That the quantity of what he brings our the frequency of that he entered the game world would some out influence the consumption of what he assumed to be his soul energy. "It is a shame that I can''t just go all out and use technology to assert as supreme power.... for now at least"Although he had guaranteed his freedom and his power as a lord of his fief it just needs someone with greedy eyes and more power than him to take everything from him, so he was holding back in use the technology to change the world. Finy opens the bottom-most lockers and takes a ring from it. He carefully looking at the ring and examined it. " It is a pity that it was broken during the explosion. I have to find some way to fix it later". Then his hand moves to take another thing from the lockers. He put the magical beast core in his hand, closing his eyes and concentrate. Then the magical beast core starts to glow and at a visible rate start to diminish. Then Finy opens his eyes normally, he could feel that some of his soul tiredness had diminished a little bit. "Sure. I will need a lot of magical beast core to make even a little improvement." Finy sigh. Then he proceeds to repeat the same steps in absorbing more than 7 magical beast cores till the locker was empty again. Then after he had absorbed all the magical beast core he gets up and looks at the sky through the windows of his office. The sky had a shiny colour of blue that seems alive under the sun, it was truly a sky that seems to say that peace shall reign as long the sun shine over the land. But the eyebrow of Finy would probably say that it was a sing of the lasts days of peace. "Now What could a bastard Prince want to venture at this end of the Empire " ................... Chapter 5 - Till the Ashes "... There about more 7 guardsman squad submitting their resing and ready to leave." Wene carefully states the lately matter that happened recently. " And...." Wene hesitates a bit before continue talking." I think filled it''s not so simple." If it was a simple soldier it was not much to worried about. It would just need so money to hire a new one, but this guardsman is soldiers that their power had reached the pinnacle of a normal human could reach so losing even one could be seen as a big loss in power, as it takes time and effort to rise even one. Wene pauses a bit looking at Finy stroking the ring on his middle finger of his left hand not knowing what he was thinking. But seeing that Finy node whit his head and didn''t say anything she knew that she could keep with her analysis. "It clearly that just by seeing what happening lately to find the what the next problem gonna be." "You mean that I will start to lost advocates? "Finy casually said as he looks at the letter in its right hand. "Sure it is. The prince coming around here it not just strolling around" Finy said while recording the content of the letter. The prince while traveling encounter an ambush and it now stating a Wimbledon Duchy and require his presence at the Sungem City the capital of Wimbledon Duchy and not attempting would be considered a treason to the prince. And what catch is attention it that the letter said that not attempting would be considered treason to the prince instead to the empire. For Finy it was like the letter was saying that if you do not be my allay you are my enemies. And it clear that there is a coup d''etat happing. But he finds it strange why things are happening this way. Normally a noble with his low title of baron and at the corner of the empire would be pulled in. It was more like the prince was making a forceful recruitment to a war. And why this would affect his territory, it very simple to see. It like some greed neighbor noble had eyes in is land. And with the approaching chaos, it was clear that someone is taking advantage of this to increase his power. "Who would it be?... "Finy said this with a puzzling look. "Think of Earl of Briggs with is identity, and his current position, he his the most suspicious. "Wene said slowly. "Well is like trouble times never leave."Finy sigh quietly "I am afraid if I don''t take into account my safety, as long I lost in the wilderness, then I am afraid that my body will never be found". When Wene heard this promptly said." I will start the preparation for the travel My Lord." ....... Finy staying inside the wagon that slowly travels through the streets leaving the town of Aelhyrst. In a building by the end of the town the, through the window could be seen heavy green eyes looking down, at the Finy wagon that was surrounded by dozens of security guards gradually disappeared from view. Inside the wagon Finy face suddenly suffused with a slight chill. He sat quietly looking at the magical beast core in his hand. Just now he tries to absorb it, but nothing happens. This made him puzzle and completely forget the slight chill that he just felt. He didn''t know what it happened so he immediately concentrates and enters the game world, appearing directly in the empty black space. The moment he enters the game world a strange thing happen to make his turning completely pale. He felt like something inside him is trying to break free. Like if is body could not hold it anymore. His vision has bloring inside his head could he could hear thousands of angry roar of beast-like with a grotesque body, like thousand of breast, combine together trying to break is mind and free themselves. This is making is consciousness slowly fade like if something is eating it. And this time a strange light in form of a ring appears in the seemingly empty space. The moment the light reach his eyes, the roar in his minds seems to change from angry to despair and they seem to be even more violent than before like if escaping from here was the only way out of their sofer. But their way seems to be blocked by a strange barrier with a strangely lively pattern that completely covers Finy body by now. At the same time, the light seems to burn the all the beast in his mind. This process seems to take a lot of time as the light seems to burn this beast slowly. But Finy consciousness seems to fade as the only way to alleviate him from the suffering his mind has going trough. After a long time, the roar had stopped and the light ring seems to exert it last strength and return the empty space his original black empty abyss feeling. After this long process there a strange phantom like substance inside Finy minds. this substance slowly expanding and roam through Finy body and slowly integrate into is body. The moment this substance touch the barrier seems to be absorbed by it. After an unknown amount of time, Finy suddenly opens his eyes. His eyes look calm and without focus but his mind seems in a complete chaos as a great amount of fragment memory roam his mind. But he didn''t let out a single shout. In the memory fragment it could be seen a strange beast that he had never seen, some he had like the Glowing beast. After a while, his eyes seem to gain focus again and slowly move to see the sky where the sun seems ready to rest and end the day. Then is eyes again move to see a town at far. Finy hand then move to skate a bell on top of his wagon. "Yes my lord" In an instant not letting even the song of bell fade a robust man in a complete set of iron armor appears a the door of the wagon. "Go ahead and prepare an inn to stay for the night," Finy said with a weak voice. "Yes my lord" The guard had noticed the Finny weak voice but he didn''t say nothing he just assume that he his tired of traveling. Becuase the original plan was to walk all night long till the first town of Wildbrom duch he was a little happy off not having to march and risk his life in the unknown cold darkness. So he had sent someone at the fast speed to the closest town. Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. ..... In the middle of the night inside the most famous Inn in the town of Seoul. "Long Live to the Lord" "Our Lord is the best..."The bar part of the Inn was filled with soldier throwing their mount with the best beer and shouting praise at their lord. And of course, they are talking about Finy. That rent the Inn entirely and offer the best drink to his soldier. Off course, not all soldier are drinking most of then are heaving guard the suit that he was in. Currently, Finy sat a bed corner with his eyes closed. It was clear that the early event put a heavy toll in his mind. But he was in no mood to sleep. But then at this instant at the dark corner of the room, it seems like a door opening and revealing a person with a dark hood with only green light coming from it. Finy open is eyes looking a the emerging figure. But he did not talk. The room was quite just filled with a heavy tension between the two-person looking at each other. "You got nothing to say" The First person to talk was the person white the dark hood. "Haha hah ..." Finy let out a heavy laugh. But his laugh seems that could not leave the four all and reach the guards outside. "So it was you Billia," Finy said with his tired voice but with a hidden mean and a little disbelief in is words. "What did happen there at the mansion" Billia take out her hood revealing his face to Finy. She had noted the meaning of Finy words but she asks what botter her for days. "I think that you already know what happens, " Finy said whit a heave feeling. "You know what happens to my father?" After Finy starts talking Billia show a little anger in her eyes think that Finy wants to run for the real conversation here. "It was your father doing" "I bet if you were born a boy he would have killed me and make you take my place. And probably after we had married I would fallow my father fate." Finy keep talk not given her the time to say anything. "So I did the obvious." Finy ends his word while looking at Billia eyes. "You think that by saying this I would forgive you" After a long moment of silence Billia start talking with a voice that reveals a lot mese feeling and felid with resentment of what she was about to do. "Of course that I didn''t. " From the very begin, Finy voice didn''t seem to sound like someone that was a dead door. But Billia seems to note it. At this moment all the little words that are spoken reveal all the story that happen recently and what their desitions were. Billia at the end o Finy word she raises her hand revealing an orb that seems to be merged with a lot of strange material an with a heavy ruby color. The orb starts to emit a fierce red light and it could see that the temperature around it start to rise rapidly At this time Finy didn''t wait for Billia to end hew move. Suddenly a big chunk of metal barely with a square format around two by two meters and 20 cm thick appear. And it heavily it the floor slightly causing a tremor. Then a red jet of flame flies from the orb directly hitting the metal chunk. "Boom......" The moment the jet flame hit the front part of the metal shield chunk it cause it to start to melt it slowly going deeply around 2 cm. Finy could feel a slight push originate from the flame impact and the metal shield temperature raising it. But he didn''t stop for even a moment since he summons the metal chunk. At this moment a Compact Grenade Launcher appears in his hand. He knew that was impossible to directly aim at with this flame jet aim at him. So Finy aim slightly at the roof and pull the trigger Billia at this moment had a deeply chill. She moved at her most top speed she could to try to take something. "BOoom" But her speed could not compare to the explosion coming from the top sending her whit a heave push backward. Finy saw that slightly after the explosion the jet flame had died down but he didn''t stop his action to look at Billia state. Again a Compact Grenade Launcher appears in his hand as he toses out the one he had and shot it from above the metal shield chunk. "Boom....." Again he did the same thing the last time shooting the Compact Grenade Launcher. But this time the explosion causing the floor to completely tear down to the floor below. "Cuff. cuff " Finy try his best to raise up. As he didn''t know the real state of Billia right now. Seen Billia in form of him he didn''t even wait to confirm if she was dead or not. As an M16 Assault Rifle appear and he starts shooting... "Tah-tah-tah-tah ...." "ClischClisch " Finy only stop when the bullet had ended. After a long moment, he didn''t see her body showing any movent as what stay before his eyes as not a beautiful girl but just a burned charcoal chunk of meat that barely stick together. Then he raises his eyes from her to look around. Now he is a the bar where the soldiers have been drinking. Ever single person was looking at him with their mouth not letting a single voice out. "You take this body and burned it till the ashes and bored it the deep you can" Finy looking at the closest soldier and said. "Yes My Lord" The guard seems that all the alcohol he had drinking had vaporized at the frighting of the atrocity just now. Then he goes at the balcony receptionist not caring by the fear in her eyes directly putting a gold bar on the balcony top. "Bamm.... I think this would pay for the damage and a new Room"
