《World of Realms》 Prologue - The Supreme Sage There was a war in the ancient times, a war where life itself was at risk. The Supreme Sage, a human self-proclaimed as God has taken over an especial Realm known as the Immortal Realm. Thanks to this Realm, he was able to consolidate his power, an extraordinary strength capable of absolute destruction. He doesn''t want to lose his position, anyone who opposes him or threatens his existence will find a terrible death. It doesn''t matter if it''s a single person, a small village, an entire clan or a huge city, the Supreme Sage will bring chaos and destruction to eradicate any threat. There are several dimensions known as Realms. They are different worlds with connections between them. In the past, there was an alliance that defied the Supreme Sage. They couldn''t defeat him but managed to cause him severe injuries. He lost most of his power in the war, thanks to that, they were able to seal the Immortal Realm. In the old days, some Spiritualists were capable of defying the Supreme Sage. There are some relics of unparalleled power left by these experts across the Realms. Unfortunately, these relics were the origin of many wars. Greed was always responsible for these meaningless wars. Powerful clans have many of these treasures while others are missing who knows where. The same thing happened more than once, sealing the Immortal Realm was the only option because nobody could defeat the Supreme Sage. He needs to be weak to perform the seal. Otherwise, he could break it. The Supreme Sage wasn''t born with that power. He made his way through the years. His strength was improving with outstanding speed. One day, he discovered the Immortal Realm where he was able to achieve the immortality he desired. This Realm is very especial because the Heavenly Energy there is unique. This energy not only gave him immortality but also tremendously strengthened his power. From that day, he proclaimed himself as a Supreme God and wars started one after another. His divinity is all he has. He will never allow anyone to take away his immortality. The seal is only a temporary solution because once the Supreme Sage regains his full power, he can easily break it and wars will start once again. He is the calamity of any living being, the ultimate enemy of life. Vengeance goes from generation to generation, same as greed. There will never be real peace while the Supreme Sage is still breathing. He assassinated many ancestors in cold blood, and it''s hard to forget. Entire cities erased from the map, whole clans exterminated one by one, small villages with innocent people, all mercilessly murdered. Anyone who stands in his path will suffer the same destiny. Because of this, forgetting the past is hard, and the only solution is to defeat the Supreme Sage. Many are unaware of its existence. Some people even think it''s an old legend until calamity arrives. After the war and the passing of the years, everything begins again. The main reason is to avoid panic. There is an evil sect known as the Dark Brotherhood. They worship the Supreme Sage. They do the dirty work from the shadows, and they are very powerful. The location of its main base is unknown, but they have several houses distributed among the Realms. Originally, this sect was created by the Supreme Sage. It''s the reason why they have forbidden techniques and unusual methods when dealing with their objectives. The Brotherhood thinks large populations are a significant threat. Whenever a new expert is born, its origin is one of the big cities. Because of that, they try their best to destroy all the cities. They infiltrate among the high ranks and create political conflicts. Provoking wars between cities and controlling high-level Demon Beasts for massive invasions are part of their strategies. From time to time, these attacks are caused naturally, while others are because of the Dark Brotherhood. The cities have massive walls to protect their citizens and dozens of powerful clans who fight against the enemies. Each invasion causes a lot of casualties because the spiritual power of the Demon Beasts is too high and they are not easy to kill. It''s very hard to deal with the most powerful ones. Not every Demon Beast is evil, a lot of them are friendly and not have the intention to harm anyone. At least, those who they don''t consider as food. One of the most important cities, Blue Sky City, was destroyed by the Dark Brotherhood. They were controlling a powerful Demon Beast who influenced many inferior Demon Beasts. Their number was overwhelming. Nikolas Lightion was from this city, back in the days he wasn''t very strong for various reasons. He didn''t have the power to save his home, much less save the lives of his loved ones.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. He saw with his own eyes how his friends, acquaintances and city comrades died one by one. Only a few were able to escape, and he was one of them. Something similar happened in the past where his family died fighting a powerful Demon Beast in a massive invasion. Because of this, his thirst for revenge against Demon Beasts grew bigger day after day. During his adventures through the Realms, he made some new friendships and was able to progress rapidly. By achieving a certain level of cultivation, you can extend your life for hundreds of years. He became an expert in martial arts as an Elemental Spiritualist. Investigating the origin of invasions, he managed to find valuable information. The truth behind most of the deadliest attacks from millions of Demon Beasts was simple. It was an act of the Dark Brotherhood. Knowing this, his thirst for revenge went crazy. This evil sect was responsible for the death of his whole family, his clan, his friends and the entire city he called home. He couldn''t handle losing loved ones again in front of him anymore, so he became distant from everyone. He began to act on his own to avoid involving them in this matter. After all, going to war with the Dark Brotherhood was not going to be an easy task. A dangerous journey, but he was fully trained to handle the situation. He didn''t find their secret base, but after a long time of searching, he found something. High-ranked members were performing a secret ritual in the wilderness. This ritual is the one they use to control powerful Demon Beasts. Sadly for them, this technique consumes a significant amount of energy, and it takes too much time to complete. For this reason, some of the high-ranked members must take care of this matter. They need to be close to the Demon Beast they want to control for it to take effect. During the time it took to finish the ritual, Nikolas Lightion found them. It was a challenging battle because he was fighting alone against many powerful Spiritualists. He almost lost his life. He nearly exhausted all his energy but was able to achieve his primary objective, which was to kidnap a valuable member to interrogate him. They have a special seal which is activated when someone speaks of subjects that can''t be said. It''s a forbidden technique, and it''s necessary for them to avoid relevant information going out. Nobody can become a member without it. Nikolas Lightion was an inscription master, he was able to break it, and then he sent him to a secondary Realm where was imprisoned. With the help of other people and the use of forbidden techniques, they stole the information needed. It was then when he learned about the Supreme Sage, and before his eyes, a new threat appeared. The Dark Brotherhood was only a shadow of this supreme expert. He also got information about the relics, which he thought were just old legends. The actual responsible was this divine person. He discovered that the legends were not just stories, they were real. Shortly afterward, the Supreme Sage was able to regain his full power, breaking the seal that imprisoned him. He found new threats and started the massive destruction again. Realm after Realm, they all succumbed to his power. Once again, he saw with his own eyes the close people to him dying without him being able to do anything about it. The only option was to flee, an entire life or running, hiding and leaving hope behind. This feeling became so intense that shattered him from inside. At one point he suppressed his feelings and became a cold person. All to avoid the internal suffering that did not let him live. There was no time to waste anymore. Nikolas Lightion didn''t know where the relics were to help him fight the Supreme Sage. He trained day after day without rest to challenge the Supreme Sage. At some point, he noticed him for reaching a certain level of cultivation. It was already a threat to him. Knowing this, he went to the Immortal Realm to fight him. Instead of being chased he chose to go straight to him. Even knowing his few possibilities, he had no other options. He could not longer train or find the legendary relics. Everything hung on a thread. At this time in history, nobody else could face him to weaken his power and recreate the seals again. In the old days, the Realms did their best to seal him after lessen his strength. The seals can''t work if he''s in his prime. His thirst for overwhelming revenge was out of control. There was nothing that could stop him. The fight was imminent. Once he met face to face with the Supreme Sage, he quickly realized he was no match for him. His power was from another world. He thought nobody would be able to defeat him when his strength is at 100%. Even so, he was able to give him a good fight. Nikolas Lightion received compliments from the Supreme Sage. In its thousands of years of life, he never found someone who can face him at that level. In the past, there was always a few Spiritualists facing the Supreme Sage at the same time, creating better chances of succeeding when trying to weaken it. At the same time, others were in charge of making the seals. To get immortality not only was needed to enter the Immortal Realm, but it was also necessary to be there for quite a while, training and absorbing the Spiritual Energy from that place. It was impossible to cultivate while fighting at the same time. Nobody was able to get the immortality. Even if you do, your body will not regenerate, and you will die unless you''re the master of the Immortal Realm. That''s the benefit of being the master of such a Realm because your body will regenerate if destroyed. The only way to defeat the Supreme Sage is not as simple as having more spiritual power, taking his immortality away is needed. To do so, someone must steal his supremacy as the Realm master. In reality, to be the master of the Immortal Realm, it''s necessary to control the Spiritual Energy located there. Only one person can rule this Realm. Someone must steal his immortality to defeat him once it for all. Even so, it must be defeated. That is the reason why the Supreme Sage is invincible. It doesn''t matter if someone can defeat him without being the master of the Immortal Realm because he''s going to regenerate his body and power soon or later. He rarely fought in the Immortal Realm. The Supreme Sage was very cautious with his actions. He created great seals so that no one but himself could enter this valuable Realm while he was somewhere else. Most of the fights were carried out in the other Realms, at least when no one was able to break the seals and threaten his territory. Nikolas Lightion fought alone against the Supreme Sage and some heavenly creatures under the control of the Realm master. After all, he managed to cause serious injuries to the Supreme Sage. Every time he regained his power again, he became more and more dominant, and because of that, it was very tough to fight against him. That was the main reason behind the compliments from the Supreme Sage to Nikolas Lightion. He fought alone, hand to hand with him. Being able to compete with him in his current state it was something respectable and admirable. Despite this feat, Nikolas Lightion didn''t know if there was anyone alive to recreate the seals for the Immortal Realm. There was only hope that his sacrifice would not be in vain. On the verge of death, he started to regret everything in his life, not being able to protect anyone and fall in front of the Supreme Sage. A strong desire to change everything begin to overwhelm his soul. Just one chance, one more chance to reverse the destiny of everyone! Chapter 1 - A new life "Is this how it all ends?" Nikolas Lightion thought. "One last chance, that''s all I need, please body obey me and get up!" He said after spitting a mouthful of blood. "Even if your body recovers miraculous, I doubt you could change the reality." The Supreme Sage said while looking at him lying on the floor. He went near Nikolas Lightion, put one knee on the floor and rested his arm on it. "You know, I would love to fight you again, after thousands of years I finally found someone worthy to face." The mouth of the Supreme Sage formed a smile. While getting up, he said, "Sadly I think you could turn into a significant threat if I would give you a second chance." Hearing this, Nikolas Lightion felt a cold chill down his spine, and he knew this was the end for him. "Damn, why am I so weak? An entire life where I couldn''t save a single life from my loved ones, what a frustration." He thought while holding the star-shaped figure in its pendant. This pendant was a gift his mother gave him when he was young. It''s the only memory he has left of her, and he considers it as his most precious object. "At least, I''ll be able to see you again, mother." Nikolas Lightion said before starting to cry and thinking about his fucked-up life. Suddenly, a dazzling light began to emerge from the star that his mother gave him. A strong spiritual power started to take over the surroundings. This light surrounded Nikolas Lightion, and out of nowhere, a nostalgic warmth totally invaded him. "It can''t be ... mother?" He said with a face of absolute amazement. He didn''t know what was happening. After a moment he was even more confused, "What''s this energy? What''s going on?" Not only did he feel the energy of his mother, but there were also several different presences that he could not recognize. All of them very powerful but familiar at the same time. At that moment, the Supreme Sage was lost in his thoughts and turned back very surprised. "It can''t be ... you!" His face turned black. "How is it possible for someone like you to have this relic?" Enraged, he started to run where the body of Nikolas Lightion was. He thought, "Hundreds of years searching for it and I couldn''t find a single clue. Where did he get this powerful relic?" The face of the Supreme Sage changed drastically. Anger started to invade his body. When he made contact with the energy that was protecting Nikolas''s body, he couldn''t do anything. This energy was able to repel the Supreme Sage! What kind of relic is this? Are the other relics this powerful? The Supreme Sage stood motionless for a moment processing what was happening with frustration. He released his strength again and tried to disperse this intense energy. "Damn it! This can''t be happening. Who the hell are you?" The Supreme Sage said as he bit his lips in the intense rage he felt at that moment. Nikolas Lightion was also perplexed. He didn''t know what was happening either. The Supreme Sage was enraged by this phenomenon. He didn''t feel any change. His body wasn''t regenerating either. He tried to get up but instead fell again into the pool of blood on the ground. At that moment, the light began to revolve around Nikolas Lightion violently. The power expelled by this pendant was threatening. This energy went inside his body, invading his soul. Seeing this, the Supreme Sage was speechless. For the first time in his life after self-proclaimed himself as a Supreme God, he could do nothing more than look how the relic he most desired in the world acted, and not in his favor. A big black hole formed under Nikolas''s body. "You ... you''re, impossible! How can you activate this relic?" The Supreme Sage said while getting more and more frustrated. Someone else has taken the relic he was searching for a long time. Not only that, it''s activated and not for his sake. "I guess your wish will come true, you damn bastard." The Supreme Sage said while looking at Nikolas Lightion with anguish and contempt. Hearing that, Nikolas Lightion could not understand what he meant by those words. Is his dream going to come true? What does that mean?This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. "I''m not sure what''s happening right now, but I''m sure someone will defeat you in the future. Do you think you are God? You''re way too far from it. It''s impossible for someone like you, don''t make me laugh." Nikolas Lightion said with difficulty as he lay on the floor above the black hole. He knew that part of this energy was from his mother, but the rest was unknown. For a moment, he regained hope, but the energy wasn''t doing anything to help him aside from temporary protection. "Maybe I should have realized this before and use this power properly, damn ..." Nikolas Lightion said seconds before being absorbed by the black hole that had formed beneath him. Everything turned dark, Nikolas Lightion lost all his senses. The sensation of sinking into the ocean is the best possible description to represent what he was going through in this darkness. Out of nowhere, a small light appeared far away from him. It was clearly visible because the only thing there was darkness. A powerful force began to push his body rapidly at great speed to the direction of the light. "Ah!" He shouted loudly. After a few seconds, he started to recover his senses and felt an intense pain. He didn''t know how to express what he was feeling at that moment. Everything was very strange, and after reaching the light, he lost consciousness briefly. Upon regaining consciousness, immersed in his anguish, a long and loud shout went out of his mouth, "Why?!" He clenched his fists so hard that his hands were bleeding. When he opened his eyes, he was in a park. It''s a city, and people are walking close to him. After realizing he was in a park, he couldn''t understand what was happening. Isn''t he dead? Suddenly a voice is heard, "Nikolas! What happened?" He recognized this voice and quickly glanced at his side, completely stunned. A beautiful girl was standing at his side. Her beauty is incomparable, and any man would fall in love at first sight. She is wearing a very tight white t-shirt with cleavage that slightly shows her sexy chest and also a reasonably short blue skirt, quite provocative. A pair of blue ankle boots and black knee socks, that''s a lethal combination for any man. She has straight blonde hair, spiky bangs that cover his forehead and at the sides, she has shoulder-length spiky bangs. At her back it''s waist-length and tied in two loose ponytails, leaving her beautiful ass free to be seen. A perfect pair of hypnotic eyes with a gorgeous green-light color that leaves you speechless. Despite being a teenager, she has an incredible figure. She is still in development, and in the future, she will be more beautiful and sexy for sure. This girl was Victoria Wenix, a friend of Nikolas Lightion. They knew each other since they were kids. They also live nearby, and their families had a friendship in the past. Nikolas Lightion completely stunned stared at Victoria Wenix for a moment. "What''s going on? Did I do something wrong? You''re bleeding." She said, pointing to his bloody hands. Then, Victoria Wenix saw him and thought, "He''s shaking and clenching his fists so hard that are bleeding!" She approached him and took his left hand with both hands and very gently said, "I don''t know what''s happening, but you''re hurting yourself." While she opened his fist so that he would stop hurting himself. She did the same with the other hand. Nikolas Lightion started to think. He had no clue what the hell was going on. How is it possible for her being in front of him? She''s dead! Not only that, she looks very young. After thinking for a while, he started crying and hugged Victoria Wenix quite strong. She was very surprised and didn''t know what to say because she''s unaware of what''s going on. Until a moment ago everything was normal. After feeling a strange energy coming out from Nikolas''s body, all this happened without warning. "W-What are you doing?!" She said ashamedly as her face turned completely red. Nikolas Lightion didn''t stop crying while hugging her very tightly. After a moment he stopped crying and said, "I don''t know what''s happening, I''m not sure if this is a dream or not, but it feels so real! I feel very happy to see you again." Hearing these words she was even more ashamed than before and hugged him back, one hand on his back and the other behind his head. Although Nikolas Lightion was taller than her, there was not too much difference between them. She started to stroking his head very gently and said, "Everything is fine." Nikolas Lightion didn''t loosen the strength of his embrace. Then, he thought, "She smells so good, this is definitely real! She''s in my arms right now. This is not a dream!" "Are you going to let me go sometime?" Victoria Wenix said as she blushed again. Hearing these words, Nikolas Lightion realized that he was acting very strange. He released her and apologized, "Sorry, I don''t know what happened to me." "I have to go, see you later!" Nikolas Lightion said as he started to run and not looking back. Victoria Wenix stared at his back and softly said, "You had promised that you would spend the day with me ..." Her eyes showed sadness as she began to walk in the opposite direction. When Nikolas Lightion arrived at the commercial district, he stopped running and started to walk normally looking around and analyzing everything. "This is Blue Sky City without a doubt. My body feels different, and I''m smaller" He thought while touching his body. Nikolas Lightion started to realize what was going on. He still didn''t have all the answers yet, but he was sure this wasn''t a dream. One can realize if something is real or not, this is real, and he''s alive in his teenage body. This is the city where he was born and isn''t destroyed. His childhood friend is alive. Not to mention that there are many people and there seems to be no panic whatsoever. After arriving at a field with a beautiful and well-kept grass, he lies down near a tree and starts looking at the sky. He started to think about what just happened and remembered the words of the Supreme Sage when the light came out from his pendant. "My pendant! Where is it?" He said while touching his chest and neck. After searching in his pockets, he discovered that he no longer has his pendant. "I remember what he said about my wish being fulfilled. My wish? One more chance to change the destiny of everyone. How is this even possible? It''s like time travel, but my soul did it not my body." He said as he lay back down on the grass again. His mouth curled into a smile, and his eyes changed dramatically showing great determination. "A second change, huh? This is very interesting. I''m not crazy, I don''t know what happened but it was because of my pendant, and I''m still alive. He said as he lifted his palm to the sky. "It was you, right?" He was referring to his mother. He''s sure to have felt the power of his mother in the light from the pendant. There were still many unanswered questions but this second chance is unexpected. With a very sad face, he thought, "Damn, why did I come back to this time? I would have liked to save my family and my clan." After a long time, he gets up and begins to walk with determination to where his home is. Chapter 2 - Nostalgic feelings Nikolas Lightion started to walk towards his house. His family owns a big mansion with a few buildings and a large terrain with a small lake. Beautiful trees and a lot of perfect grass. He still couldn''t believe what is going on. Quite unexpected and extremely nostalgic. Every corner, every place, everything is as he remembered it. Without a doubt, he''s going to protect his beloved city putting his life on the line. This city is the one his mother and family loved the most in this world. They sacrificed their lives to save everyone. He''s not going to let their sacrifices to be in vain, not this time. Now is different, he used to be a good for nothing before, not the case anymore. He''s a supreme expert with vast knowledge and experience. While he was walking to his house, several people whispered as he passed by the streets. "There goes the loser, ?Can you believe he is from the Lightion clan?" "He''s a disgrace for the Lightion family''s reputation." "How is it possible for someone like him to be from an elite clan?" "Don''t be stupid, the Lightion clan isn''t one of the elite anymore, not with that good for nothing." "His family must be wallowing in his grave for having a successor as useless as him." "Have a little respect. We are alive thanks to them." "It doesn''t matter. The Lightion clan was one of the most powerful ones and respected, but they''re part of history now." "He''s right. The Lightion family will never return to his golden age anymore, with a useless successor like him, the clan is doomed." Most of these comments were from men or boys who envied the fame and history of his family. A lot of people respected the Lightion clan, and for this very reason, they think it''s a disgrace that the only descendant left of such a dynasty is a good for nothing with no talent. Despite everything, Nikolas Lightion was quite popular with the girls because of his appearance. He has good genes, and he inherited the beauty of his mother, which was a goddess between goddesses. "I don''t care if his a good for nothing or a weakling, he''s very cute, and I like him." Said a beautiful girl to her friends. "Do you like that weakling? Haha, you''re kidding, right?" Said a boy in the group. "Are you jealous? Yes, weakling or not, I like him. I think he''s very handsome besides having a great style." "I also like him. He''s beautiful, seductive and he''s very above you, like it or not." Said another girl from the group. This guy with contempt and envy is Urie Hogma. He''s the youngest brother of the first successor of the Hogma family, a big clan with a lot of talent. They are known for their offensive techniques and their lava element. Urie Hogma is a spoiled guy who always looks over others with a certain air of superiority. He always gets what he wants by fair means or foul. This clan was never able to compete with the Lightion clan. They were a clan with a low amount of members while the Hogma clan was always superior regarding numbers, yet they were always inferior. Because of this reason, they crushed their pride all the time. Now that Nikolas Lightion is the only survivor and successor of the Lightion family, Urie Hogma can''t help but tease him and make fun of him in front of everyone. After hearing what his friends told him, fury invaded him. "Why do they see him that way? I should be the one who gets the flattery. He''s a weakling with no talent, not an opponent for me, yet he''s far way more popular with the girls than me." He thought to himself. With a devilish smile full of evil desires he told his friends, "I''ll show you two how useless and fearful is the boy you both admire so much, just watch." Aggressively began to walk to intercept Nikolas Lightion and show his superiority to impress the girls. "Hey, trash from the Lightion family! What does a wimp like you walking with a head up high in my city?"This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. "Huh? I don''t know what you''re talking about right now. This city belongs to the King and not to the Hogma family, which isn''t part of the royalty." Said Nikolas Lightion as he walked on. Urie Hogma was speechless for a moment. He stretched his arm and grabbed Nikolas Lightion by the shoulder, "It seems you have some balls to talk to me that way. Your family is part of the past, so you need to speak to me with respect now." Nikolas Lightion slightly turned his head back and looked at Urie Hogma with terrifying and cold eyes. He released a threatening murderous aura, "It''s going to be better if you let me go if you don''t want me to embarrass you in front of your friends." A deep fear invaded Urie Hogma. He instinctively releases it quickly and stands motionless due to the killing intent that invaded his soul in an instant. To all this, Nikolas Lightion continued walking his way without looking back, quietly with his hands in his pockets. "Hahaha! So, that''s how you do it? It only takes a couple of words to put you in your place." Said one of the girls. "Am I afraid? I''m not sure what just happened, but I''m sure I felt a terrifying threat. My body doesn''t stop shaking, and I can''t move!" Thought Urie Hogma indignantly as his pride wilted into hundreds of pieces. "I just felt sorry, a wimp like him doesn''t deserve my precious time, I''m leaving." Said Urie Hogma as he started to walk leaving his friends behind. "Now, I''m more impressed than before, for some reason I like him even more!" One of the girls said while other answered, "Right? The same for me!" They don''t know what just happened, Nikolas Lightion didn''t act as normally does, his behavior was completely different as if were a different person. For some reason, they saw him more mature, and because of it, they like him even more now. Nikolas Lightion has black hair, a mix of straight and spiky. He has spiky bangs that cover his forehead, a little bit larger in the middle between his eyes. At the sides of his face, between his ears and eyes, he has long spiky bangs that reach the middle of the neck. Those are three spiky bangs, and the main one is big while the other two are smaller than the previous one in the direction to the ears. In the back of his head, he also has spiky hair. Half is pointing slightly down, almost to his shoulders, while the rest is pointing slightly upwards. On the top of his head, he has straight hair and not spiky. He inherited the beautiful hair of his mother. He has green eyes and a well-trained body, physically. He wears a white long-sleeved t-shirt with a high collar, loose black pants that are tighter in the direction of his ankles and a black pair of ankle boots. After a while, he arrived at his home. A beautiful mansion, worth of an elite clan. When Nikolas Lightion entered, he stood looking around with certain nostalgic. The grass, the trees, the buildings, he feels very calm to be able to see everything in its place as if nothing had happened. Inside his room, there is a bag. "Did I just return before I left? So, this is the time when I went traveling." Said Nikolas Lightion with a shocked face and continued, "This time I''m not going anywhere, I''ll rebuild the clan and give it back the glory it deserves, and I''ll earn respect from everyone once again no matter what." He lay on the bed on his back with one arm behind his head and started remembering the invasion where his family died. "Mother, you sacrificed your life for this city. I understand your feelings but did you think about me for a moment? After using that forbidden technique, there is not a single person alive except me. I would have liked to be with you more time. I was so young that I almost have no memories of you." "Damn it. I''m not going to let anyone close to me die, not this time. I''ll not stop until I fulfill my revenge and the welfare of all is assured." Nikolas Lightion with a face of pure determination went to the main courtyard to train. After looking at his body, he said, "I''m still not used to this body, it''s my body, but at the same time it is not. Even though my head orders movements, my body will not be able to follow orders, it''s not used to it. I''ll have to train hard." He tried some techniques but couldn''t do anything. He had no Spiritual Energy, not a single drop. At that moment, he remembered that his body has a very powerful seal that suppresses all its force. This seal was made by his mother when he was a child. Nikolas Lightion was born with a threatening Spiritual Energy that could easily get out of control because he couldn''t control it being so young. Not only his life was at risk, but he could also hurt someone for lack of control. It''s a very complex seal which can allow the user to release small amounts of Spiritual Energy until it gets used to it. Sadly for him, unless someone with knowledge about the technique release each layer it will suppress the entire Spiritual Energy, leaving him as a normal person. His mother died when he was very young, leaving the seal active. It''s the reason why people consider him as a good for nothing or a weakling with no talent. In other words, he''s a normal person who can''t use Heavenly Energy and doesn''t have any Spiritual Energy. The reality is different because the Spiritual Energy is suppressed and sealed. His mother was an inscription master, the seal''s level is very high and completely undetected by most people. One must have a great understanding towards inscriptions to be able to detect the seal and even more, release it. In his past life, he was able to meet his mother''s teacher in the art of inscriptions. He was the one who detected the seal and released him from his nightmare. Thanks to him, he was able to achieve the inscription master title as his mother so this time isn''t necessary to leave the city. "Without a doubt, I''ll try to bring the Sage to the city. It''s too dangerous for him and the rest to live in that small village." Said Nikolas Lightion as he remembered his travels. He tried to release the seal by himself, but he couldn''t do it because it''s necessary to use Spiritual Energy. Normal people can''t do any kind of technique. "This is a problem, but I can''t do anything about it now. I''m very hungry. I should cook something. At least, I have more experience now. I don''t want to eat never again the crap I ate in my travels." Said Nikolas Lightion clutching his stomach and looking disgusted. When he went to the kitchen to find something to cook, he found a box-shaped container on the table. "This it was made by Victoria Wenix without a doubt!" Said Nikolas Lightion after opening the box-shaped container and continued, "I remember that she used to cook me quite often, but I don''t remember when she gave it to me because I''ve been here for a couple of hours. Probably, it was before we left together." "I left her alone today, I''m an idiot, but I was too overwhelmed by what was going on. I''ll make up for it later. The food is delicious, what a nostalgic feeling, I missed this taste for a long time." A warm feeling invaded Nikolas Lightion after eating her food. Chapter 3 - The best food At this moment, Victoria Wenix was sitting at the door of her room overlooking a beautiful courtyard. She was thinking about what had happened when she was with Nikolas Lightion earlier. "What was that all about? I don''t understand." Said Victoria Wenix showing confusion on her face and continued, "He acted very strangely, everything was going well, and nothing was out of the ordinary. Why did he shout like that? He even hurt his hands." She was puzzled, at first she didn''t think too much about it but when was on her way back home she began to notice that something was wrong with what had happened recently. Nikolas Lightion changed drastically in just an instant. In addition to the scream and his anguish, he was shaking as if something very serious had happened. She apparently noticed that in his look she was like a ghost. "He was crying and hugging me very hard as if we hadn''t seen each other for a long time. Besides, he said he was happy to see me again. Again? What does that mean? We see each other very often." After remembering that moment, her face blushed. In the depths of her heart, she felt an absolute happiness. To be embraced that way by him and listen to those words, it was very comforting. She was someone dear to him, and that made her very happy. "Now, I''m much more worried than before, tomorrow I''m going to visit him and see if he''s okay. I hope my father doesn''t know. I''m sure he will be angry if he finds out I''m seeing him often." At that moment, a guard appears in front of her room. "Miss Victoria, your father wants to talk with you." "My father? Okay, I''ll go right away." Victoria Wenix responded with concern. Wenix''s main hall "Father, did you want to talk to me?" Said Victoria Wenix as she thought about what her father was going to say. Her father is 40 years old, and he''s very handsome. His name is Masao Wenix, and he''s the patriarch of the family. He''s wearing a beautiful robe with a rope belt. Masao Wenix tucks his right arm into the front of his robe, making it look as though his arm is in a sling. He''s in shape and imposes a powerful presence as the patriarch of the Wenix clan. He is very respected and considered one of the strongest in the city. Victoria Wenix is the living image of his wife. She inherited everything from her. He was sitting casually on a throne while replied, "Yes, Vicky. I think we''ve already talked about this, but apparently, you never listen to me. I''m very sorry to have done this, but today, I sent some guards to follow you, and I found out that you went out with Nikolas Lightion." "!" Victoria Wenix wanted to answer but was only surprised, and the words didn''t come out of her mouth. After a few seconds, she calmed down and said, "Father, I''m very sorry to have disobeyed, but in the same way I don''t do what you want, you do the same." Her father''s face changed drastically, and he became serious, "If I hadn''t, I would never have known that you were disobeying me. I already told you clearly that I don''t want you to see Nikolas Lightion. There is no future for you there. He only has a good last name that doesn''t mean anything today. He lost almost all the support that his family had. I know you''re interested in that guy, but I am not going to accept that relationship, like it or not." "This is very unfair, besides I don''t have a relationship with him. We''re just friends. Now you''re going to tell me who I can and can''t make friends with?" Victoria Wenix replied to her father with frustration. In the past, both clans were friends, but now that Nikolas Lightion is alone, that''s not the case anymore. Her father didn''t care for his daughter''s words in the slightest. From his point of view, Nikolas Lightion was not fit to be with his daughter. He knew she had feelings for him. He can easily see it. Even though she said they''re just friends, it''s only a matter of time before something serious happens. He can''t allow his only daughter and heir of the clan to end up with an ordinary person with no future. The Wenix clan is very powerful and well-known in Blue Sky City. It is a noble family and one of the most respected. Controlling his daughter that way doesn''t make him any fun, but as the patriarch of the family, he has to think about the future of all members. Joining with a clan in ruin, which has only one member will not bring any benefits. Not to mention he''s a useless person without any talent. He feels bad about it because the Lightion family was an old friend, if only Nikolas Lightion were strong, that would be different.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent.

After a long sigh, he fixed his gaze on his daughter and said, "Vicky, I don''t like to do this to you, but as the patriarch, I must think about what''s best for our family. I hope you understand what your position is. You''re the heiress." "But ..." Said Victoria Wenix when she was interrupted by her father. "Let me finish talking. Even if you''re just friends, I know how you look at that kid, and it''s only a matter of time before something happens. It is preferable to put a stop now before you develop serious feelings for him. Recently, the Sottle family notified us that they want to unite our families. The elderly said they agree and I think the same." Masao Wenix said. At that moment, the heart of Victoria Wenix was crushed and trampled by her father''s words. She could feel a great pain in the chest and the cold embrace of frustration. What her father didn''t know is that she already had some interest in Nikolas Lightion. Seeing the face of his daughter, Masao Wenix felt as if someone stabbed his heart. "Vicky, in a few days we will celebrate the engagement. In a couple of years, you will get married." "Engagement? Get married? Very hypocritical words. Did your parents force you to get married? You decided yourself." Victoria Wenix replied with fury in her eyes. After hearing those cold words, he looked down and clenched his fists with indignation. "I am sorry, I will not say another word about this. It''s already decided." Victoria Wenix left without saying another word. As she returned to her room, she began to cry in frustration, thinking of everything her father had told her. "What would he do in my place?" Victoria Wenix thought, referring to Nikolas Lightion. After she had released her sadness, she lay down and fell asleep. Lightion''s mansion Soon after enjoying a good dinner, Nikolas Lightion went to the main courtyard to think. When he was staying half asleep, he got up and went to sleep in his room. When he woke up the next morning, he began to train his body. He was not yet accustomed to his new body and lacked much training to perfect his movements. Spiritual Energy is useless if the body can''t be at par. The techniques consume a lot of stamina, and one should be in shape to make the best use of Spiritual Energy. When he began to feel hungry, he left the mansion in search of something to eat. His family was noble, and he inherited a good fortune. Previously, several families helped him because he was very young to take care of himself. The support is no longer there since he''s not a child anymore. Only a few exceptions. Walking through his beloved city, he could see many familiar faces which brought him nostalgia. They have no idea what''s going to happen to the city in the future while living their lives normally. What they don''t know is that as long as he''s present, none of that will happen. Even if he has to sacrifice his life, many people died to project him in his previous life. He will not allow that to happen again. After a few minutes, he sensed a seductive smell. He was about to drool because this smell was from his favorite food store. "This is pork soup with eggs and vegetables without a doubt!" Nikolas Lightion said with enthusiasm. He entered the food store without hesitation and found a good place to sit. In this place, he''s very appreciated. His family helped the owners when they began to work and owe everything to the Lightion family. Chie Tasfoo is the owner. This place belongs to the Tasfoo family and is one of the few who still support Nikolas Lightion. This woman has 45 years old, and she''s very kind. She has waist-length black hair, black eyes and wears casual clothes. The store is decorated very elegantly and is quite modern. After a while, she approaches Nikolas Lightion and says, "Good to see you. Let me guess, the usual, right?" "Haha, you know me very well Chie! That''s right. I want a big portion please." Nikolas Lightion said with a smile. Although Chie Tasfoo is very kind, she''s highly respected and has a strong temperament when needed. While Nikolas Lightion waited for his meal, a young man entered the premises. This guy is Shiro Spebolt, somewhat cocky who doesn''t get along with everyone. He has short black hair and black eyes. He''s wearing a broken combat robe because he was training before. When he sees Nikolas Lightion, he approaches him, puts a hand on his shoulders and says, "What do we have here? The number one trash in the city. The place is full, why don''t you get up and leave? I want to eat. Once I finish, you can come back to your seat." Nikolas Lightion thought, "If it weren''t for the seal, I would give him a good lesson to this asshole. Even so, it takes more than that to annoy me." "Why should I do it? I already ordered. You will have to wait like everyone else because I''m not going anywhere." Nikolas Lightion said as he pulled Shiro Spebolt''s hand from his shoulder. "What did you say trash?" Shiro Spebolt replied wanting to take him out by force. At that moment, Chie Tasfoo appeared and said, "You would better not make trouble in my store. You know what will happen to you if you continue. This is my business, not yours. Here, I am the only one who decides who stays and leaves, am I clear?" The face of Chie Tasfoo infused fear, and the only thing Shiro Spebolt could say was "Tsk, whatever you say. I am going to spend my money somewhere else. I don''t want to eat here anymore." Before leaving, he told Nikolas Lightion, "We''ll see each other again and Chie Tasfoo will not be around to help you." Funny words for Nikolas Lightion, an asshole was threatening him. Compared to the threats he faced in his previous life, this was just a joke. "The next time we meet, I''ll show you who''s the boss in this city." Nikolas Lightion thought with a cold look. "Don''t let him bother you, just enjoy your meal. I added an extra half portion for you. You have to eat well if you want to grow healthy." Said Chie Tasfoo with a smile. "Thank you very much! The food here is delicious, and I will never get tired of this fabulous taste. If you need help with anything, I''ll help you." Nikolas Lightion replied as he began to eat wildly. "Hahaha, easy! You act like you didn''t eat my food in years! There''s plenty if you want some more. Thanks for the offer, I''ll keep it in mind." Chie Tasfoo said with great satisfaction after seeing how much he liked her food. "Here you have three spirit coins. You should charge more, the food is very good but I suppose that''s why the business is so popular. Affordable good food." Nikolas Lightion replied as he continued to eat. "Thanks! Come back whenever you want. You''re always welcome here." Said Chie Tasfoo before leaving to serve other customers. "This is the best food in the city. I missed this so much I had forgotten how delicious it was. I feel full of energy now." Nikolas Lightion thought as he continued to eat wildly.
