《Sinister》 Prologue First thing I notice is that I am falling. From where and to where? I didn¡¯t know. So I started to recall what had happened in the last few minutes before I started to fall. Umm let¡¯s see, oh right I died. I was shot in the head, right between my eyes. Why, well I don¡¯t know the reason myself. It just happened. So I have been falling for what seems like 10 minutes and yet I haven¡¯t reached the bottom. After another 40 minutes of falling, I can see the ground, as I got closer and closer to the ground, I didn¡¯t look away or close my eyes, because I knew that I was already dead, so I had nothing to fear. I was 1 meter away from hitting the ground when suddenly a black hole appeared right where I was supposed to hit. I fell through the hole and came to a sudden stop, floating is mid-air. It felt like a void, I couldn¡¯t move or talk then I heard a voice in my head. ???: ¡°Human. How did you get in here?¡± Me: ¡®What the hell was that¡¯ ???: ¡°I asked you a question human¡± Me: ¡®I don¡¯t know¡¯ ???: ¡°I see. Well this is interesting. Never before has a someone other than myself and my creations have come here¡± Me: ¡®You can read my mind¡¯ ???: ¡°Indeed. Now what shall I do with you. Ummm , how about this. For being the first ever person to come to my home uninvited, I will grant you 3 wishes¡± Me: ¡®You¡¯re kidding me right¡¯ ???: ¡°of course not¡± Me: ¡®Than can I ask you some questions before I make my wishes¡¯ ???: ¡°Very well. Ask what you want and I will answer¡± Me: ¡®Thanks. Okay let¡¯s see ummm. Right. First of all who are you and where am I. What are your creations that you are talking about? And why are you willing to grant me 3 wishes?¡¯ ???: ¡°I am king of hell and you are in my dimension. I have created many things but what you are asking about are beings who rival the greater gods As I have said before for being the first ever person to come to my home uninvited, I will grant you 3 wishes¡± Me: ¡®Can you please explain all of that in more detail¡¯ ???: ¡°Very well. I am king of hell and you are in my dimension. My dimension is separated from hell and no one without my permission can enter here. Not even the gods My creations are seven individuals. Each one of them represents a flame of hell. They are known as the ¡®Seven Deadly Sins¡¯¡± Me: ¡®Ok here are my wishes Number 1, I wish to be reborn into a world of sword and magic with the memories of my past life Number 2, I want you to give me all the flames of the seven deadly sins This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. Number 3, I want all the information about the world you¡¯re going to send me to Those are my wishes¡¯ The reason for those wishes is simple. First of all, why not be reborn especially in a world of magic. That is every nerds dream. Secondly, Why not just make myself OP. And lastly, I wont have to waste time in gathering information. ???: ¡°You¡¯re second wish is a little complicated. I cannot give you the flames because the amount of mana needed to use those flames is too great. And you¡¯re body will not be able to handle that much power, it will destroy your body. What I can do is offer you a contract instead¡± Me: ¡®What type of contract?¡¯ ???: ¡°In the world that I will be sending you everyone is able to use magic to a certain degree. But those who are powerful enough can tame magical beasts and make them into their own familiar. By doing this the magical beast will fight on behalf of its master so the master only has to use mana to summon the familiar. With this contract you will be born with seven familiars, you will be their master and your wish will be their command However because you will be born with the seven deadly sins as you¡¯re familiars, you will not be able to make any other familiars and you will only be able to use fire magic Also the seven deadly sins will only be able to use half their power.¡± Me: ¡®Why only half the power?¡¯ ???: ¡°Because beings who are stronger than lesser gods cannot enter the mortal realm with their full power. That is one of the rules that the creator of all has made¡± Me: ¡°creator of all?¡± ???: ¡°do not worry. All information will be given to you once you are reborn. Now it is time. Good Luck on your journey¡± Me: ¡®Wait, why was I able to enter your dimension in the first place?¡¯ ???: ¡°Who knows¡± As I was about to ask another question, a bright white light blinded me and I was put to sleep by the devil. Then suddenly I woke up. I was held by a man. I could only see his sad and crying face, by the looks of it he might be my father. He brings me closer and says Father (maybe): ¡°do not worry, father will always protect you¡± So he is my dad. But why does he look so sad. Did something happen, well anyways, where is my mother. Then suddenly I was hit with an unbearable pain in my head. It felt as if my head was about to explode. I lost conscious, but before that I hear my father say Father: ¡°Lanza Del Relampago, that shall be your name¡­¡­¡­..¡± CH1: Basic History and Knowledge So it has been two weeks since being reborn. My father¡¯s name is Arrancar Del Relampago. He is in his early 30s with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He has a scar on his face, right above his left eye. My father¡¯s body is well built and toned, he was an adventurer until he met my mother and fell in love with her. I don¡¯t know who my mother is or how she looks like, the reason being that she died giving birth to me. That is one of the reasons my father is sad at the time. The other reason was me. It seems that after I was born, I didn¡¯t cry or make any noise. I also didn¡¯t even open my eyes. If it weren¡¯t for my beating heart, everyone would have thought that I was born dead. I was in that state for a week. All the other villager and doctors and healers had given up on me, but not my father. After a week I finally opened my eyes. My father was happy and relieved but still sad. The reason I was unconscious was because all the knowledge of this world was being transferred to my brain because of my third wish. When I woke up, I knew everything about this world, how to use magic, how to control mana and the ranking system of this world. This world is known as Narth (lol). Narth has 5 continents. There is the ¡®Dom¡¯ continent where the demons live. ¡®Evea¡¯ the home of the elves. ¡®Patook¡¯ where dwarves reside. ¡®Oceania¡¯ is where beast-kin live and ¡®Touro¡¯ where I am right now, the human continent. Long ago, all the lands were connected together and all the races lived together. But pace didn¡¯t last. The humans wanted to rule supreme and they started a war. The Great War lasted for 2000 years. Having grown tired of all the fighting. The demon lord of the time gathered 1 person form each race and suggested to separate the land in five continents. Agreeing with the demon lord, the five great mages than separated the lands to what it is now. For stopping the Great War, those 5 mages became heroes of the world and pace has lasted between the races. Evea, Patook, Oceania and Touro all have different kingdoms on their own continents and each kingdom has its own King/Queen. Expect Dom, where there is only 1 being that rules over the entire continent, The Demon lord. Narth has 10 months a year and 31 days a month. There is no concept of weeks. The money system is: copper, silver and gold. 100 copper is equal to 1 silver, 100 silver is equal to 1 gold. Each person on Narth can use magic. It is extremely rare for someone to be born without magic. In order to use magic everyone does an attribute test at the age of five. The test is done by placing your hand on a crystal ball. The ball had many layers. Each layer has a different colour and each colour represents a different attribute. When a person focuses their mana into the crystal ball their attribute colour lights up. The colours are Red for Fire, Blue for water, Brown for earth, Sliver for wind, Black for darkness, White for light and Yellow for lightening. Most people have 2 or 3 attributes, 5 and 6 attributes is extremely rare and those with only one attribute are considered unless. Only the Great 5 heroes had all 7 attributes. That¡¯s why they were able to separate the land into 5. A beings attribute is determined my fated. It¡¯s more or less just luck. If you¡¯re lucky enough then you¡¯ll have more than 1 attribute. The reason 1 attribute is considered unless is because they cannot do spell fusion. Spell fusion is when a mage combines their attributes together and create a more destructive spell. The down side is that it takes years of focus and almost perfect mana control in order to do spell fusion. The highest number of attributes fused into one spell is four. But I don¡¯t need spell fusion, lucky me. Ranking determines how strong a person truly is. The ranks goes form the lowest rank to the highest rank. Omega, Delta, Gamma, Beta and Alpha. Each rank has sub-ranks, omega sub-ranks are: low-omega, omega and high-omega. The same rule applies for the other ranks. No one has ever reached the rank of high-alpha, not even the 5 Great heroes, they were only Alpha¡¯s. After I recalled the history and knowledge of Narth, I start looking around. I am currently alone in a small room lying on a baby bed. It¡¯s hard to look around or move because of my weak body. With nothing better to do I once again started to access my new found knowledge, but not about this world, about the gods and the being who granted my wishes. It is best to explain all of this form the very beginning. What came first the chicken or the egg? But in this context we should replace the chicken with the creator of all ¡®GOD¡¯ and the egg with the universe. No one knows the answer but it doesn¡¯t matter because without either of them there would be no us. The very first thing god created were the galaxies that filled up this universe. Within those galaxies he created stars and planets. In some planets he created mortals and while others were left empty. With so much lives in the universe he then created the greater gods, to look after the worlds he had created. But it was too much for the greater gods to handle. So they begged the creator of all ¡®GOD¡¯ for his help. So god then went on to create lesser gods. Then the creator of all ¡®GOD¡¯ made a being as strong as him. This being cannot be killed as he was death himself. Fear took a hold of the greater and lesser gods because a being who could wipe them all out had appeared. The fear drove the gods to attack death, but death didn¡¯t do anything. He just stood there, taking all of the god¡¯s attacks. This continued for centuries without and results, as it is impossible to kill death itself. Having grown tired of the god¡¯s attacks, death decided to fight back. But the creator of all ¡®GOD¡¯ had forbidden him for killing gods. So death decided to create his own army to fight the gods in his place. Death created demons of hell but they were no match for the greater gods. Pissed, death then made his ultimate creations. The seven being who represent the seven flames of hell ¡®The Severn Deadly Sins¡¯. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. The seven sins were as strong as if not stronger then the greater gods. The fight between the sins and greater gods ended up destroying many worlds. Than at last the creator of all ¡®GOD¡¯ intervened and stopped the war. And he made a rule that the greater gods and the seven deadly sins cannot ever again go to the mortal worlds with their full power and put an unbreakable seal on them. So that is why they will only be able to use half their power. Well it¡¯s fair enough. Now I try to access the knowledge of how to use magic and how to control mana. In order to use a fire ball spell, I would need to take pure mana from my mana pool and then convert that pure mana into fire mana and then cast the fire ball spell. It is the same for all other attributes and there spells. It is extremely difficult to convert pure mana into an attribute mana. It takes years of practices and an excellent understanding of pure mana and attribute mana. The youngest person that successfully converted pure mana into attribute mana was 10 years old. In order to do spell fusions one must convert pure mana into different attribute mana at the same time. I close my eyes and focus. After 10 minutes I can feel it, my mana pool. It¡¯s big. I start to move the mana inside my body. Trying to control it. I don¡¯t want to convert my mana into fire attribute mana because it can be dangerous to do so at a very young age. I will wait until I¡¯m at least able to walk. Just than the door opens and my father enters the room with a young woman. She looks to be in her early 20. With red hair that go all the way to her shoulders. Bright red eyes and big smile on her face. She looks beautiful, just amazing. They both come close to my baby bed and father starts to talk Father: ¡°Lanza this is your mothers little sister. Your aunty Liza¡± Liza: ¡°his eyes are the same as sisters and don¡¯t call me aunty. Makes me feel old. Oh my god he is so cute.¡± Father: ¡°Liza can you feed him now¡± Liza: ¡°Sure. Come on time for food¡± I drunk her milk and then went to sleep. My daily routine is eating, sleeping and learning to control my mana. And just like that 3 months passed and I started to walk. My father and aunt were amazed. I started to walk around the house and I looked outside the windows to see where I am. The house I live in is average size. With 3 bedrooms and a kitchen and a lounge. Looking outside all the houses look the same. My family wasn¡¯t that rich, my father worked as adventurer. He had 3 attributes, water, earth and lightening and he was a low-gamma. So he usually left me and Aunt Liza for days to complete quests and bring the money. Aunt Liza had water and wind attributes and was low-gamma. She specialised in healing magic and used to work for the local adventurer¡¯s guild as a healer. That was until I was born, so now she is at home looking after me and the house. At 4 months old I started to convert my mana into attribute mana. And I must say that it is almost impossible. With all the knowledge that I have it should be easy but no. it takes me 30 minutes to only convert 10% of my mana into attribute mana and that is if I¡¯m sitting completely still. My new routine became eat, control my mana, convert my mana and then sleep at night. Liza POV I was at the adventures guild when I heard the news. My older sister had died giving birth to her child. I rushed out of the guild and to my sister¡¯s house. I opened the front door and went to her bedroom. There she was, laying on the bed, with eyes wide open, they were lifeless and her body was not moving. I could not stop myself from crying, the tears wouldn¡¯t stop coming out. I get closer to her, she had beautiful red hair just like mine and bright red eyes. She had a forever gentle expression on her face. Liza: ¡°*hic* sis *hic* why say something please *hic*¡± She was gone. After I calmed down a bit I exited the room and went into the room where the baby was. He was there. Like a little angle, his hair was the same colour as his father and a body so small. But Arrancar and the healers had a worried expression on their faces. The child didn¡¯t move nor did he cry, in fact he didn¡¯t even make a single sound. I thought he was dead. But his heart was beating. 3 days had passed and still he didn¡¯t cry or even moved. The village doctor tells Arrancar that his child might never wake up. But Arrancar doesn¡¯t listen. He has lost too much already and he was not about to lose his son as well. Liza: ¡°don¡¯t worry, he will wake up soon¡± Arrancar: ¡°yes he will. He is strong just like his old man¡± Liza: ¡°yea. Now go and get some rest. I will look after him¡± After 4 more days had passed, even I had almost given up hope. But then suddenly he starts to move. I run out of the run and into Arrancar¡¯s room. Liza: ¡°he is waking up, come quick¡± We both run to his room to see that he is moving around his little arms and legs. Then he opens his eyes for a little moment. At that point Arrancar says Arrancar: ¡°Lanza Del Relampago, that shall be your name.¡± Then Lanza falls asleep again. After Lenza was born I started feeding him my milk and I now live in Arrancar¡¯s house looking after Lenza. After 3 months he started to walk. Both Arrancar and I were surprised. To start walking at such a young age is unheard of. Just amazing. He will do great things in the future, I just know it. Ch2: Winged-lion Author''s Note: ???: " " - saying out loud ???: '' '' - Thought Thank you all for reading. If there are any typos or misspellings, then let me know ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It¡¯s been 2 years since I have been reborn into this world. At 5 months old, I started to talk with father and Aunt Liza. They were stupefied when I said my first words to father. They thought I was a genius. At 7 months old they found out that I can even read and write perfectly. When I reached 1, I started my own physical training. Which was just doing laps around the house and some push-ups and sit-ups. Nothing too extreme because my body was still that of the 1 year old child. It¡¯s been a few days since I¡¯ve turned 2. So I decided that it was time to finalize my contract with the seven deadly sins. As per my second wish, the contract was made but it has yet to be finalized. In this world a familiar contract must be finalized in order for the familiar to fight on behalf of its new master. Man was I excited. I couldn¡¯t help smile from ear to ear. But then disappointment came hitting me. It was morning, I was doing my morning workout in the backyard. When suddenly I heard a loud explosion *BOOM* It came from the village¡¯s east gate. It¡¯s pretty close to my house as we lived near the east side of the village. Aunty Liza came out of the house running. She has a worried expression on her face. She looks around to try and find me, before she starts running towards me. She grabs me and starts to run even faster towards the opposite direction of the explosion. Me: ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Liza: ¡°no time for talking. Be quite and don¡¯t make a noise¡± Ouch. She was never like this before. I wonder what is happening. But not like I can do anything about that anyways. After a while we arrive at the dead centre of the village, where the adventures guild is. Aunty Liza takes me into the building. As soon as we enter, all I can hear is loud voices of men and women. Me: ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Liza: ¡°They are discussing about what to do in this situation¡± Me: ¡°Discussing? All they are doing is yelling at each other. I can¡¯t even understand what anyone is saying. And what ¡®Situation¡¯?¡± Aunty Liza looked at me with a surprised face. Me: ¡°Whaat?¡± Liza: ¡°No, ummm Nothing. It¡¯s just that you never cease to surprise me *clears throat* we are currently being attacked by mid-beta ranked monster¡± Me: ¡°Monster? As in just 1¡± Liza: ¡°Yes¡± Me: ¡°Then why all this commotion for just 1 monster¡± Liza: ¡°Well you see, the highest ranking guard in the village is high-gamma with three attributes. And it¡¯s almost impossible for us to defend the villagers against it¡± Me: ¡°We have a higher number of people that can fight against it¡± Liza: ¡°Quality over quantity. We may outnumber it, but it out ranks us¡± She was probably right. With all the knowledge of this world, I still don¡¯t how strong people here are. I might know their ranks, but not their actual strength. Like how weak a low-omega is supposed to be and how strong a high-alpha is supposed to be. Me: ¡°What monster is it?¡± Liza: ¡°Mid-beta Winged-Lion with an estimated 4 attributes. Fire, earth and 2 unknown attributes¡± Me: ¡°how¡¯d you know?¡± Aunty Liza shows me her right middle finger. There was a blue ring on it. It was a telepathy ring. The ring can be used to contact other people who gave you their mana signature (Mana signature is like a normal signature but only done using ones mana instead), so 1 of the guild members who has aunt¡¯s mana signature contacted her and told her about the situation. Hearing the info form aunty Liza. I start to access knowledge about the Winged-Lion. A person¡¯s attribute is determined my fate. It¡¯s more or less just luck. The same rule applies to magical beasts. A fish may be able to use fire attribute. So that way all magical beast are different form each other. They will have the same appearances as other of its kind, but not the same attributes. And this is what makes magical beast so dangerous to fight. Being a winged-lion doesn¡¯t mean that it can fly just because it has wings. In order to fly it would need to have wind attribute. So there is a possibility that 1 of the unknown attribute is wind, but it¡¯s only a guess. Let¡¯s worry about the other unknown attribute later. Winged-lions, like other lions rely on its raw strength and speed. It will only use magic if it absolutely needs to. Winged lions are always alone, so no need to worry about any others. But what bothers me is that winged-lions live in high places like on top of mountains or hills. And there isn''t either of those anywhere near here. Me: ¡°It might be a familiar¡± While I was lost in the train of thoughts, the guild had become quite. So when I said those words everyone turned around and looked at me with a confused face. Liza: ¡°What do you mean?¡± Me: ¡°Winged-lions usually live on top of mountains or hill. And there isn¡¯t a mountain or hill anywhere close to here. So someone must have commanded it to attack the village¡± The confused faces turn into a surprised face. ???#1: ¡°How did you know that?¡± Me: ¡°It¡¯s the only logical explanation¡± ???#1: ¡°Child, who are you?¡± Liza: ¡°He is the son of Arrancar and my nephew, Lanza¡± ???#1: ¡°That mean you''ve just turned 2 a few days ago¡± At that statement everyone was even more surprised. Not only is a 2 year old talking perfectly but also knows so much about the winged-lions and that child has figured out that the winged-lion is a familiar. Even the adventures, guild master and village elders weren''t able to figure that out. Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. ???#1: ¡°Come here child¡± I walked up to the man who called me over to him. I didn''t know him but he gave off this feeling, like he could see right through me. This man was old, probably near his 70¡¯s, with grey hair. He was supporting himself with a walking stick. ???#1: ¡°I am James and the master of this guild. Tell me child, how do you know so much for someone so small?¡± Me: ¡°Don¡¯t we have a bigger issue right now¡± James: ¡°You are correct. For now let¡¯s deal with the winged-lion than we can talk about you¡± Agreeing with him, I nodded. James now faces the people in the guild and says James: ¡°Right now the guards at the east gate are doing what they can but they will not last much longer. Everyone above the rank of low-gamma will follow me. We will go and fight the winged-lion and the rest will defend the villagers¡± James again looks at me and says James: ¡°Follow me¡± What, he wants me to follow him? Is he stupid or is old age catching up to him. Taking a 2 year old child to a fight against a winged-lion is like WTF. Liza: ¡°No, guild master, he is only a child. You cannot take him. What if something were to happen to him¡± James: ¡°Keep calm Liza. He will only observe the situation from afar¡± Liza: ¡°But still, what can he do, even if he sees the situation. It will only frighten him. I don¡¯t want him to see dead bodies or even go close to a fight¡± James: ¡°He might find a way to defeat the beast. And I will never let anything happen to him. You have my word Liza¡± Aunt Liza was about to say something again but before she could I cut her off and agreed to go. Hearing what I said, she tried to convince me to stay but I insisted on going. Seeing that it¡¯s not working, Aunt Liza decided to come along with us. When we arrived near the east gate, we saw the winged-lion. Its appearance was that of the normal lion form Earth with some difference. It stood 6m (meters) tall with 2 wings coming out of its back. Each wing was as big as the winged-lion itself. It was a breath-taking view. While everyone saw a monster, I saw beautiful creature that was filled with pride. I wanted it as my familiar, but then I suddenly remembered what death had told me. Death: ¡°Because you will be born with the seven deadly sins as you¡¯re familiars, you will not be able to make any other familiars and you will only be able to use fire magic¡± Me: ¡®Damn it¡¯ I was standing there with the guild master and aunt Liza, far away from the beast but close enough to see its might. Then suddenly Aunt Liza pulls me into a hug Liza: ¡°See, I told you that it isn''t good for a little kid. He¡¯s scared shitless¡± Me: ¡°No I¡¯m not. And will you let go of me aunt¡± I forcefully push myself away from her and again look at the beast, but this time I also look at the guards and adventures fighting it. There is around 15 of them surrounding the beast and one of them is my father Liza: ¡°Then why were you standing still, you weren''t even blinking¡± Me: ¡°I was just admiring the beast. I want 1 for myself¡± James: ¡°Yes indeed. But it¡¯s more majestic when it¡¯s not trying to kill everyone. Tho luckily no one has died yet. If only we knew about its weak points than this would be much easier¡± He¡¯s right, the beast hasn''t killed yet, but why. Unless Me: ¡°It¡¯s testing us¡± James: ¡°What do you mean?¡± Me: ¡°Whoever is controlling the beast doesn''t want us dead. No they just want to see how strong we really are¡± Both of them looks at me with wide eyes and then back at the beast James: ¡°You¡¯re right. But why is it doing that¡± Me: ¡®Why are you asking me, aren''t you the guild master¡¯ ???: ¡°Well this is unexpected, for a child to figure it out so easily¡± We heard a sinister voice from behind us. All three of us turn around to see the source of the voice. There he was. A man who stood 5.6m (meter) tall, long black hair that reached his chest, eyes full of hatred and also curiosity while looking at the child and a face covered with scars. James: ¡°ALZACK IS THIS YOU¡±RE DOING¡± Alzack: ¡°*sinister laugh * yes indeed, the winged-lion is my familiar. I simply wanted to see how strong my former village has become over the last 5 years, but man am I disappointed¡± James: ¡°IS THIS SOME KIND OF GAME TO YOU¡± Alzack: ¡°Shut up old man. Well you know I was hiding and watching the fight from afar, but then I noticed the three of you. What caught my eye was this child. At first I thought, ¡®Why bring a child here?¡¯ so I came closer to see for myself and immediately I was blown away by his reasoning skills. You know what, I think I¡¯m gonna keep him¡± As soon as he said that he disappeared, then in less than a second he appeared in front of me. He kicked me in the stomach. I flew 5 meters back but I safely landed on my feet. Alzack¡¯s face showed a surprised expression but then immediately he appeared before me again ready to punch me in the face, but before his fist could connect to my face a shadow appeared in front of me and countered Alzack¡¯s punch by catching his fist and throwing him to the side. The shadow in front of me was James. Now he was standing straight in a fighting position. I looked at him dumbfounded. Before in the guild building he could barely walk and it also took us a while to arrive near the east gate. But right now he was completely different. Alzack: ¡°Not bad old man, but still not good enough¡± Alzack disappeared again but this time he appeared behind me and hit me at the back of my head. Before losing my consciousness from that blow to my head I heard aunt Liza screaming. Ch3: Finalized Contract Me: ¡°W-what, not this place again¡± I was there in the endless void where my wishes were granted by ¡®Death¡¯, just then his figure appeared before me for a second time. His whole body was covered by a red robe that had a hoodie, which covered his face Death: ¡°Welcome back Lanza¡± But this time he wasn''t alone. Behind him stood 7 hooded figures Me: ¡°Why am I here? Don¡¯t tell me¡­, did I die¡­already!!?¡± Death had a grin on his face as he said Death: ¡°No you aren''t dead. I have simply summoned your consciousness back into my dimension in order to finalize your contract with the ¡®Sins¡¯¡± Me: ¡°Why summon me? I could¡¯ve finalized the contract back home¡± Death: ¡°Yes that is true. But let me ask you a question. Do you know how to finalize the contract?¡± Me: ¡°Well both parties need to be physically present and agree on the terms of the contract made by the contractor. Is this case that would be me?¡± Death: ¡°Yes. So do you want people to see the ¡®sins¡¯ when you make the contract. When they ask you who or what they are, what will be your answer? I called you here so that way the contract will not be known to anyone other than myself¡± Death was right, I did want to keep the ¡®sins¡¯ a secret until I was ready to show their (now my) power. I could¡¯ve secretly done it in my room or when I¡¯m alone, but there still would have been a chance that someone might see me. Me: ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s do this¡± The seven hooded figures stepped forward and now I say the terms of my contract. Me: ¡°You ¡®The Seven Deadly Sins¡¯ shall serve me for as long as I live and you will obey any and all commends given by me. Do you agree on the terms of this contract?¡± ???#1: ¡°I accept the terms of this contract¡± ???#2: ¡°I accept the terms of this contract¡± ???#3: ¡°I accept the terms of this contract¡± ???#4: ¡°I accept the terms of this contract¡± ???#5: ¡°I accept the terms of this contract¡± ???#6: ¡°I accept the terms of this contract¡± ???#7: ¡°I accept the terms of this contract¡± Me: ¡°Then by my will this contract is finalized¡± Man that was embarrassing, luckily I won¡¯t have to do that ever again. At that very moment I saw chains coming out of the chest of each ¡®sin¡¯. The chains began to move right towards me, piercing through my chest. An unbearable pain struck me. Me: ¡°AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡± Death started to say something Death: ¡°They are now your familiars but y----¡± But because of the pain, I couldn''t hear him at all. I faded away from consciousness again. It was late afternoon when I woke up. I was in my room, I could still feel the pain from the one sided fight. Me: ¡®I wonder what happened to the winged-lion and Alzack?¡¯ Then a second later I heard 3 sets of footsteps running towards my room. They bang open my door and rush in. they were James, Aunt Liza and my father Arrancar. Both Arrancar and Liza start hitting me with question like if I was in pain and shit Tho I really didn¡¯t pay any attention to them as I was thinking about the contract that I have formed with the ¡®sins¡¯ Liza started shaking me while shouting at James and Arrancar Liza: ¡°He¡¯s not responding to us. Was he hit in the head to hard?¡± She turns to face James who was standing by the door in his ¡®old man position¡¯ with a walking stick. Liza loses it and starts running towards James while yelling Liza: ¡°THIS IS YOUR FFFAAAAUUUUULLLLTTTTTT!!!!!!!!¡± And spears James out of the room and starts to kick him in the stomach while he is still on the floor. ¡®Wow women can be scary¡¯ Arrancar: ¡°Lanza! *shakes lanza* lanza my son, are you alright?¡± I finally snap out of my little day dream and say Me: ¡°Yes dad I¡¯m fine¡± Hearing my voice Liza comes back into to the room with tears running down her face and hugs me with boulder breaking force Liza: ¡°*hic* I t-thought *hic* that I would *hic* l-lose y-you *hic* to¡± I felt bad for her, so I let her continue hugging(crushing me) and crying. She finally let¡¯s me go Me: ¡°So what happened to the winged-lion and that Alzack guy?¡± James starts to crawl back into my room and opens his mouth to start the explanation about what had happened after I was hit. But before he could even utter a single word he was greeted with Liza¡¯s best friend, a right kick to the face which knocked James out cold. T.K.O Then she starts explaining about what had happened Apparently James Had already called for help from the nearby villagers while we were still in the adventures guild building. So the guards and adventurers only needed to buy enough time for the reinforcements to arrive. Apparently after seeing the 2 dozen more guards approaching the village. Alzack called his winged-lion who he named ¡®Kata¡¯ and fled the scene. After the explanation was done, Arrancar carried James and left with Liza to let me rest I was excited to test out my new found powers. So I got out of my bed and started gathering mana to summon my familiars. So I try to summon but nothing happens. Me: ¡®Somethings probably went wrong, let¡¯s try again¡¯ I try again but still the same results. Nothing was happening. I know that I was doing the right thing Me: ¡®What the hell, why can¡¯t I summon them¡¯ As I was thinking about a solution, Deaths hooded figure came into my mind. Then start to recall the contract finalization. All seven ¡®sins¡¯ agreed to my terms then there were the chains piercing my chest, followed by immense pain, but death was saying something when the chains attacked me. I started to focus on Death¡¯s words at the time. Then I finally understood what he was saying Death: ¡°They are now your familiars but you will not be able to summon them until your emotions itself calls for them¡± What does that even mean? Damn it. Me: ¡®AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¯ Man was I pissed. But not at Death but at myself. It was my responsibility to ask Death for the full details before making my wish or before finalizing the contract. Damn it all James POV It was early morning, I was in my house, enjoying some tea while doing paperwork for the guild. Just then I got a telepathic message from one of the guards at the east gate Guard#1: ¡°Master James, I see a magical beast approaching the east gate¡± James: ¡°Just deal with it¡± You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.Guard#1: ¡°Sir, it¡¯s not a beast from the forest. I¡¯ve never seen it before¡± James: ¡°What, are you sure? Then describe it to me¡± Guard#1: ¡°it a lion type with two wings coming out its back. Sir, each wing is the same size as the lion itself¡± James: ¡°W-what, it can¡¯t be. Why here, damn it. Umm, how long until it reaches the east gate?¡± Guard#1: ¡°It¡¯s taking it¡¯s time to get here, so around 10 to 15 minutes¡± I look to find the guard duty papers, it seem like there is 7 guards at the east gate James: ¡°Will you be able to hold it off for as long as possible. And also give any and all information about it¡± Gurad#1: ¡°Yes sir¡± Damn it. My morning is now ruined. I should contact the guild and all the adventurers to meet me there James: ¡°All the adventurers within the village. Please make your way to the guild now, we have an emergency¡± After I deliver the message, I get ready to leave my house and make my way there but just then I get another message Guard#5: ¡°Sir, we have information about the beast ¡± James: ¡°What is it?¡± Guard#5: ¡°Mid-beta winged-lion with fire and earth attributes and also¡­ umm tho I¡¯m only guessing but it might have two more attributes but we don¡¯t know what they are¡± James: ¡®Damn it. We won¡¯t be able to handle it if only we knew more about it¡¯ This village is near a forest that only has delta and gamma ranked monsters, so that¡¯s why we don¡¯t get many strong adventurers around here. We don¡¯t know anything about the winged-lion since it¡¯s not from the forest As I¡¯m making my way towards the guild, I contact the guild masters on other villages that are near us for their assistances. I also spot Arrancar on my way. He¡¯s known as a mid-gamma but actually he rose to high-gamma not long ago, but no one other then I know. James: ¡°Arrancar, make your way to the east gate and help the guards¡± Hearing my words, Arrancar immediately rushes towards the east gate I arrive at the guild and see that there are people coming slowly. So I tell the people that have already arrived to contact others in the village to come here and I also tell them about the beast We start to discuss about the situation James: ¡°Does anyone know anything about winged-lions?¡± I ask everyone at the guild when more people start to come in. but no one knows much. Then I start thinking to myself James: ¡®Why is it here? There are no mountains or hill near this village so why. Maybe it¡¯s a fami--¡¯ My thoughts were cut off my the voice of a child ???: ¡°It¡¯s a familiar¡± What, how did he know? He¡¯s only a child. Then Liza, the former guild healer ask him Liza: ¡°What do you mean?¡± ???: ¡°Winged-lions usually live on top of mountains or hill. And there isn¡¯t a mountain or hill anywhere close to here. So someone must have commanded it to attack the village¡± James: ¡°How did you know that?¡± I ask him in a surprised tone ???: ¡°It¡¯s the only logical explanation¡± James: ¡°Child, who are you?¡± Liza answers in his place Liza: ¡°He is the son of Arrancar and my nephew, Lanza¡± James: ¡°That mean you¡¯ve just turned 2 a few days ago" To speak perfectly and have such knowledge about a beast that¡¯s doesn¡¯t reside anywhere near here. I ask the child to come here and I introduce myself to him. I also ask him how he knew about the beast Lanza: ¡°Don¡¯t we have a bigger issue right now¡± James: ¡°You are correct. For now let¡¯s deal with the winged-lion than we can talk about you¡± He gave me a nod and I turned to face the people in the guild and I say James: ¡°Right now the guards at the east gate are doing what they can but they will not last much longer. Everyone above the rank of low-gamma will follow me. We will go and fight the winged-lion and the rest will defend the villagers¡± I look at the child and tell him to follow me. But Liza intervenes and tries to stop him but he insisted on going, so Liza ended up coming along as well. I also promised to protect him When we arrived near the east gate, we saw the winged-lion fighting the guards and adventurers. Liza makes a fuss because she thought that Lanza was scared but he was only admiring the beast I tell him that it¡¯s more majestic when it¡¯s not trying to kill everyone. Tho luckily no one has died yet. If only we knew about its weak points than this would be much easier. Just then Lanza speaks again Lanza: ¡°It¡¯s testing us¡± I look at him surprise and question him James: ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lanza: ¡°Whoever is controlling the beast doesn¡¯t want us dead. No they just want to see how strong we really are¡± Yes, he is correct. The beast is only defending and using weak attacks ???: ¡°Well this is unexpected, for a child to figure it out so easily¡± I hear a familiar voice from behind me. It was Alzack James: ¡°ALZACK IS THIS YOU¡±RE DOING¡± Alzack: ¡°*sinister laugh * yes indeed, the winged-lion is my familiar. I simply wanted to see how strong my former village has become over the last 5 years, but man am I disappointed¡± James: ¡°IS THIS SOME KIND OF GAME TO YOU¡± Alzack: ¡°Shut up old man. Well you know I was hiding and watching the fight from afar, but then I noticed the three of you. What caught my eye was this child. At first I thought, ¡®Why bring a child here?¡¯ so I came closer to see for myself and immediately I was blown away by his reasoning skills. You know what, I think I¡¯m gonna keep him¡± As soon as he finished speaking he disappeared, then in less than a second he appeared right in front of Lanza and kicked him in the stomach and Lanza flew 5 meters back but landed safely on his feet. Alzack¡¯s face showed a surprised expression but then immediately he appeared before Lanza again ready to punch him in the face, but before his fist could connect to Lanza¡¯s face, I stepped in front of Lanza and countered Alzack¡¯s punch by catching his fist and throwing him to the side. Alzack: ¡°Not bad old man, but still not good enough¡± Alzack disappeared again but this time he appeared behind Lanza and hit him at the back of his head. He lost consciousness and Liza screamed. Alzack was about to grab Lanza and make a run for it, but I stood on top of Lanza and used a lightening spell to make him back off Just then help finally arrives from the other villages. Seeing that he was way outnumbered. Alzack called his winged-lion ¡®Kata¡¯ and fled Ch4: Fire Magic & Pure mana The next morning I woke up after a depressing night and it clearly showed on my face. I had breakfast and went outside to do my morning workout. After working out I went to a tree near my house and set under it, many things were on my mind I am glad that Alzack attacked the village. Why, well because it made me realise how weak I truly am and what¡¯s more is that I can¡¯t summon any of the sins. Damn it The hell does ¡®until your emotions itself calls for them¡¯ even mean. Stupid Death, didn''t even tell me the important shit in the beginning So I have to make myself stronger no matter what. But how, I can only use fire magic, and can¡¯t do spell fusion but luckily I can convert pure mana into fire attribute mana pretty quickly. In 10 seconds I can convert around 70% into attribute mana, which is good, so casting spells shouldn''t be that hard. I start to access information on all the fire spells that I might be able to use. There are only four standalone fire spells, fire ball, and fire rain, fire barrier and fire flight. Fire ball is a ball of fire, the size will change depending on how much mana a person provides Fire rain is where the user shoots a huge ball of fire towards the sky and the ball explodes and rains down fire Fire barrier is a barrier made out of fire Fire flight is where the user creates fire under their feet and use it to fly. Tho it is very hard to master Me: ¡°That¡¯s it?, shit only four spells¡± I get up from under the tree and start to walk towards the forest. There is a safe path in the forest that leads to a water pond and a cleared training area in the forest. The reason it¡¯s safe is because the path and pond are surrounded by defensive crystals. The defensive crystals stop the magical beasts from entering the path, pond and village. The winged-lion was able to enter the village was because Alzack destroyed the defensive crystal on the east gate a day before he attacked I walked on the path for until I arrive at the pond. I see that there in the training area. Not many people come here anymore because the adventurer¡¯s guild had a new training room installed there and everyone uses that instead of coming here I stand in the middle of the training area and start to control my breathing. I convert 15% of my pure mana into fire mana in a split second. Then I move the mana through my body, to my hands and cast the fire ball spell *BOOOOOOM* Me: ¡®¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.W-w-w-w-w-what was that¡¯ I only used 15% of mana into the fire ball, but it was huge, almost 11 meter in diameter if not bigger. But how? I stand in there with a blank face trying to come up with an explanation. The only reason I can come up with is that I might a really big mana pool. I leave my thoughts behind and thought about usingfire flight. To be careful I only use 5% mana, I take fire mana and bring it beneath my feet *SHSHShshshshshHSHSHSH* I am launched towards the sky in high speed and I¡¯m still going up Me: ¡°What the hell happened to wind resistances!?¡± I look down before stopping, I am about 120 meter in the air Me: ¡®oh god, oh god¡¯ I started to fall and was about to have my head smashed on the ground. ¡®Shit¡¯, fear took hold of me Me: ¡®What¡¯s going to happen to me? I just got this new life¡¯ I put my hands over my head Me: ¡°SSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!¡± I screamed from the top of my lungs but unknowingly started to gather pure mana in my hands. With my eyes closed, I wait for the impact, but only there wasn¡¯t any. When I reopen my eyes I see that I¡¯m floating just a few inch from the ground Me: ¡®w-w-w what, how?¡¯ From my knowledge, pure mana has no proper applications to it, so there is no use for it. But right now I¡¯m floating in air because of it. I stop supplying mana to my hands and immediately fall on the ground While lying on the ground I start thinking about what I could do with pure mana. Several idea¡¯s pop into my mind and I grinned from ear to ear. My new daily training now became physical workout, mana conversion, control fire flight and find new ways to use pure mana and fire magic ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time flew by and now I¡¯m 4 and in a half a year I¡¯ll turn 5 and do my attribute test. Every child from the age of six is required to go to school at least for one year to learn basic stuff like reading and writing, maths and history The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Those with one attribute are the ones who go to school for only one year, while others keep going until they reach low-beta rank. Low-beta is consider the graduating rank. Until the age of 10, schooling is free, after 10 you have to pay money to continue going. You will be kicked out of school if you don¡¯t reach mid-delta at the age of 10 I was in the training area with James. He has been teaching my how to fight with a sword twice a week. My father also teaches my close combat at home in the afternoons. The other kids in the village ask me to play with them but I refused and went to train After the incident with Alzack, I went to James and asked him to help me become stronger and as a result, he has been teaching me sword play for the last 2 and a half years. During my training with father or James, I have never used any magic. But I think James already know that I can probably use magic James: ¡°This will be all for today¡± Me: ¡°Thanks again Teacher¡± James goes to the side where our stuff is. He puts the wooden sword down and picks up his walking stick and starts to walk back to the village in his ¡®old man position¡¯. The he just stops and looks towards me and says James: ¡°I don¡¯t have anything left to teach you¡± Me: ¡°¡­.¡± James: ¡°1 year from now I¡¯m gonna give you a test. If you pass then I¡¯ll give you good reward¡± Me: ¡°What kind of test?¡± James: ¡°I¡¯ll tell you on the day of the test. Now if you¡¯ll excuse me¡± Saying that, he just walks off. Me: ¡®A test huh¡¯ I¡¯ll think about it then In the last 2 and a half years, I have found a lot of new ways to use fire magic and pure mana. One of the new fire magic I made is called fire bullets Fire bullets is a smaller and faster version of fire ball. The size of the fire bullets are same size as normal bullets from ¡®Earth¡¯ tho lacks the penetrating power but has greater impact force After I created fire bullets, I went to hunt magical beasts in the forest. I used fire flight to jump up to a tree branch. I jump from one branch to another and make my way into the forest safely. By a tree I spot a small fox like creature, wondering around. It was a mid-delta earth fox with probably 2 attributes. Being an earth fox, one attribute is definitely earth and the other is unknown. I am hidden on top of the tree 10 meters away from it. I gather 1.5% fire mana into my index finger and aim at the earth fox, waiting for a chance to attack it. As it is moving, I follow it form branch to branch. After a while it finally stops near a dead dog and starts eating it. I take this chance and shoot the fire bullet. The speed of the bullet was around 120km/h. The bullet hit the fox on its right side of its head. Instant death. I jump down from the tree and went to were its corpse is. The bullet didn¡¯t penetrate its head. The blunt force was just enough to kill it ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arrancar: ¡°Tomorrow is the big day. Aren¡¯t you excited Lanza¡± Me: ¡°It¡¯s just a stupid test¡± Arrancar: ¡°That¡¯s right, but that stupid test will determine how strong you will become in the future¡± Me: ¡°So I¡¯ll be forever weak if I only have one attribute?¡± Arrancer: ¡°Now son, we don¡¯t know that. I¡¯m pretty sure you¡¯ll have at least three. And I never said that having one attribute will mean that you are weak¡± Me: ¡°Yes father¡± I will be turning 5 tomorrow and also do my attribute test on the same day. Me: ¡®It¡¯s gonna be a shit birthday¡¯ Over the last five months, all I did was train. I¡¯m pretty sure that I can beat both James and father at the same time. I have confidence in my strength. If Alzacks even dares to show his smug face in front of me ever again, imma rip his head off *opens door* Liza: ¡°I¡¯m back¡± Me: ¡°Welcome back¡± After I turned three, Liza went back to work for the adventurers guild as a healer. So I was usually by myself during the day. Liza: ¡°What do you want for dinner Lanza?¡± Arrancar: ¡°Soup¡± Liza: ¡°I asked Lanza not you *sniff sniff* and what the hell is that smell¡± Me: ¡°It¡¯s father¡± Liza: ¡°You go and take a shower, the whole village can probably smell you¡± The rest of the evening went by like every other day. We all ate dinner, talked and went to sleep Ch5: Tests I woke up early in the morning, even before the sun had rose. I left my room quietly, by using pure mana I was concealing my presence and was not making a sound. I left the house and made my way to the training area for morning workout. I did my laps around the training area while converting pure mana into fire mana. I also used pure mana to make my body heavier. It felt like I was wearing 20kg weighed clothing. By the time the sun had started to rise, I finished my workout and headed back home *Quietly opens door* I enter the house and it looks like no one is up yet. I tip toe back into my room. * Quietly opens door * I enter my room and quickly close the door. ???: ¡°Where have you been¡± Shit, I knew who¡¯s voice that was. I turned around to find her, I see my father and Liza standing in the corner of my room, both with their arms crossed Me: ¡°F*ck. Umm nowhere¡± ¡®Dam I thought they would still be sleeping¡¯. Aunt Liza and dad wore an angry expression that felt like they were about to unload on me. They both slowly creeped towards me, making me nervous with each step. They were now about inches away and Aunt Liza leaned towards me. I readied and braced myself for the impact of the yells and the lecture that was about to come shortly but that didn¡¯t happen, instead¡­ Liza: ¡°HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lanza¡± I was surprised to hear that. I turn around to look at my father and he has a grin on his face. After a little pause he says proudly Arrancar: ¡°Happy Birthday son¡± I thought that they would lecture me about swearing or ask me where I was in the morning, but I guess I was wrong After bombarding me with hugs and kisses they left my room to prepare for the day. As they left I went to have a quick shower and make my way to the kitchen for breakfast. Both father and Liza were already sitting there and were waiting for me to come. I sit down and then father asked me a question Arrancar: ¡°Lanza, what is ¡®f*ck¡¯? I have never heard of such a word before¡± Holy shit, I forgot that there is no such word in this world Me: ¡°ummmm, it means, uhh m-morning. It means good morning¡± Arrancar: ¡°Ohh, I see. What language does it belong to?¡± Me: ¡°Ahh umm t-the demon language¡± Arrancar: ¡°I know a bit of demon language, but never have I heard of such a word¡± Me: ¡°I-I-It¡¯s a new word, yes a new word. So that is why it is not that well known yet. Father, if you¡¯re going to use that then you have to say it properly¡± Arrancar: ¡°And how is that¡± Me: ¡°F*ck you father¡± Arrancar: ¡°hehe, well f*ck you too son¡± Liza: ¡°F*ck you Lanza¡± Me: ¡°Ahh, y-you too Aunt¡± I awkwardly ate breakfast with Liza and father, then we got ready to go to the adventurer¡¯s guild for my attribute test The three of us talked about useless stuff as we made our way to the adventurer¡¯s guild. After a few minutes, we arrived at our destination, as we were about to enter the building, my father stopped me and knelt on one leg while saying Arrancar: ¡°No matter what happens today, know that I will always be proud of you¡± Me: ¡°Yes father¡± We entered the guild and were welcomed by James. Arrancar: ¡°F*ck you James¡± James: ¡°What???¡± Arrancar: ¡°It mean good morning in the demon language, it¡¯s new so it¡¯s not that well known¡± James: ¡°Well in that case, f*ck you all. Now it¡¯s time to see what your attributes are¡± Me: ¡°Ok teacher¡± James pulls out the attribute crystal and says James: ¡°Now Lanza. All you have to do is touch this crystal ball and the colours that will light up will be your attribute¡± Everyone who was in the guild turned quiet and looked over at me. They were all curious to see my attributes Following James explanation I touch the crystal ball. After a whole minute a layer finally lit up Everyone in the guild expect father, Liza and James started to laugh James: ¡°QUIET!¡± James yelled in a loud voice that echoed throughout the entire guild James: ¡°Lanza my boy, don¡¯t be disappointed, but you only have fire attribute¡± Me: ¡°Why would I be disappointed?¡± Everyone looks at me with surprise. Usually when a child does the attribute test and ends up with only one attribute, they break down in tears. But I was completely fine I look at father and Liza, they both had sad expressions on their faces. They felt sad for me, since I only have one attribute, they knew I would be picked on by others and be discriminated against. James then looks at my father and then back at me and says James: ¡°Well, why don¡¯t I let you do the ranks test?¡± Me: ¡°But won¡¯t I do that at school¡± James: ¡°Yea you will. But aren¡¯t you even a little bit curious to know your rank. I know I am¡± Me: ¡°Can I father?¡± Arrancar: ¡°Sure, I don¡¯t mind¡± At my father¡¯s words, James takes out another crystal ball from his pocket. It looks the same as the other one but only with more layers on it, way more. The attribute crystal had 7 layers while the rank crystal has 15 layers How the rank crystal works is, upon touching it the layers will light up with a single colour. The first layer is low-omega while the last layer is high-alpha James: ¡°Touch it¡± Everyone again looks at me. This will be the first time for everyone to see a child under the of 10 do an rank test I touch the crystal ball and the layer slowly start to light up The first 5 layers had been lit so far. I still had my hand on the crystal Another layer lit up Everyone was quiet, not a single sound could be heard, expect Liza¡¯s heartbeat increasing with each layer that lights up This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. *ba-dum* Another 2 layer lit up *ba-dum* *ba-dum* Another layer lit up *ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum* One more lit up *ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum* One more lit up *ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum* It stopped lighting up at the 11th layer No one dared to utter even a single word, the room was silent. All the adventurers and guild workers stared at me with wide eyes. Some, who were sitting got up unconsciously James finally said my rank out loud making sure everyone heard him James: ¡°M-m-mid-beta. HE IS A MID-BETA!¡± Looking around I could see the eyes of adventurers looking at me, eyes filled with happiness, rage, jealousy, envy and hatred Looking back at my father he made a V sign at me with a very proud expression, Liza with her eyes wide open and mouth that could fit 2 double cheese burgers showed mixed expression on her face. James had a surprised expression on his face but he knew that I had reached high-delta so that surprise didn''t last long. ???#1: ¡°It¡¯s a lie!, A kid at the age of 5 reaching the level of mid-beta¡± ???#2: ¡°This test was setup by you James, this is absurd¡± ???#1: ¡°We want proof of HIS POWER¡± James looks at them cunningly and then turns towards me and back at the 2 furiously looking men. James: ¡°You want proof? How about a duel between the two of you and this child¡± ???#2: ¡°Are you stupid why should we fight a little kid, what if we end up killing him by accident HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH¡± James: ¡°Well you are the ones that wanted proof of his power, don¡¯t tell me that you are scared of a little child¡± James looks at me and say ¡°are you fine with this Lanza¡± I didn¡¯t really care much and grinned at the 2 men who accused me and said yes with arrogance. The look on the two men boiling with rage agreed to the duel. I thought that they would make good test subjects for my newly created magic. ---------- Father, Liza, James, the 2 men and I made our way to the training area within the guild followed by many curious spectators that had filled the whole of the training area leaving about 10x8m space for the duel. Liza: ¡°Lanza you don¡¯t have do this. You only turned 5 today and you¡¯re about to face 2 high-gamma adventures. Please rethink this¡± Arrancar: ¡°don¡¯t worry about him Liza he going to mop the floor with them¡± ¡®I think¡¯ I nod at father¡¯s words and turn to face my enemies, just then James says to me James: ¡°Remember that I told you about the test I was going to give you 5 months from now¡± Me: ¡°Yea¡± James: ¡°Well consider this your test¡± Me: ¡°Yes Teacher¡± James: ¡°The big guy is Chen, a low-gamma with wind and water attributes, tho he is not good at using magic. The other one is Fuen, mid-gamma with water, lightening and light attributes¡± Me: ¡°Thank you for the information¡± Once again I face the two men and slowly walk towards them ???#1: ¡°Don¡¯t ya think that we ganna go easy on ya¡± Said Chen, he had a big build and bald head with a giant sword hanging on his hip. ???#2: ¡°Imma break your face little sh*t¡± Said the other guy as he was gathering mana in his hands James: ¡°FIGHT!¡± Chen unsheathed his massive two edged sword and dashed towards me. He was a few meters away from me when he lifted the sword above his head, ready to strike me down. He swung his sword downwards aimed at my head. His movements were slow and dull. It took me a simple side-step to dodge his attack As soon as I stepped to the side, Fuen sent a lightning bolt towards me. To which, I jumped over. As I was in mid-air, Chen appeared in my field of vision, he was to my left and was about to strike me with his sword. I quickly used fire flight and instantly appeared right in front of Fuen and punched him in the face using fire fist. I could cover distances up to 10-15 meters in a split-second using fire flight Fire fist is one of the new magic attacks that I created. I simply cover my hands with fire while having a barrier made of pure mana on my hands to protect me from the fire. With fire fist, my punching strength doubles and taking into account the instant acceleration with fire flight, the force behind my punch was devastating Fuen flew serval meters before hitting the ground, using the momentum that I had already built up, I again used fire flight and got behind Chen and used fire fist to send flying as well. The match had ended with a 5 year old knocking out two grown men in less than 30 seconds I turn around to look at my father and Liza. Father had his eyes wide open while Liza had her mouth covered with her hands. Looking at James, he has a grin on his face, as if not even fazed at what had happened. All the spectators were also speechless and some of them sweating intensely James: ¡°Well that definitely proves his power, does it not?¡± James broke the silences while asking if anyone else wanted to try and prove him wrong. At that comment, no one could say anything. All of their eyes became filled with fear of the power a single attribute mid-beta had shown I walked towards father and Liza and say them Me: ¡°Shall we go now father?¡± Arrancar: ¡°¡­¡­¡­.¡± Me: ¡°Father?¡± Arrancer: ¡°u-um y-yes, l-lets go¡± Both father and Liza said nothing on the way back home ---------- Thank you all for reading Ch6: School It¡¯s almost been a year since my fight with Chen and Fuen. Both father and Liza couldn¡¯t wrap their heads around the fact that I could already use magic. When we arrived home after the fight with Chen and Fuen, father asked me ton of question regarding how I could magic. I simply said that James taught little about converting mana and how to use spells. Father was not completely satisfied with that explanation, but he didn¡¯t press the matter anymore Liza simply thought that I was a genius and kept praising. Soon, word of my power had gone around the village, because of that, a lot of people tried to get on good terms with me. Many parents would bring their daughters to my home to ¡®play¡¯ with me while they talk to father or Liza. They probably wanted their daughters to make me fall for them so that their family could become more powerful because of me. Many boys younger then, would ask me to help them become stronger or teach them reading and writing. The older boys were jealous of me and as a result, they would outnumber me by 10-15 and try to fight me. I would simply use fire flight to make a quick escape ---------- Tomorrow is the day that I would leave the village to go to Dorama kingdom for schooling. The reason I was going to Dorama kingdom is because it is the closet to my village. James had already contacted the school and finalized the admission of me and the other kids that will also be going tomorrow There are two schools in Dorama Kingdom. The Royal Noble Academy, where all the noble and royalty children went. Then there is the Royal Commoner Academy, where we will be going. But the bad part is that the two schools are right next to each other After dinner I went to my room to pack the last of my stuff when Liza walks in asks Liza: ¡°Lanza have you packed all the stuff that you will be taking with you?¡± Me: ¡°Yes Aunt Liza, I have¡± Liza: ¡°I still *tear drops* c-can¡¯t believe that *tear drops* m-my little Lanza i-is going to l-l-l-leave *Starts Crying* Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!¡± Me: ¡°I¡¯m leaving tomorrow, not now¡± Liza: ¡°B-b-but y-y-you¡¯re *wipes tears* still going¡± Me: ¡°Don¡¯t worry Aunt I¡¯ll be fine and is father back yet?¡± Liza: ¡°No yet, I think he¡¯ll be la--¡± *Front door Opens* Arrancar: ¡°I¡¯m back¡± Both Liza and I walk out of my room and head toward the front door. There I see father standing with something in his left hand. It was covered with a piece of cloth, so it¡¯s hard to make out what it really was. As I got closer to father, he kneels down to one leg and puts his right hands on my shoulder while saying Arrancar: ¡°You have made me proud and the happiest father in the world. You have always listen to what I say and never go against my word¡± His happy expression turns to a sour one while he continues Arrancar: ¡°The nobles will not like being surpassed by a commoner and they will try to bully you¡± His sour expression turns to a serious one Arrancer: ¡°Please don¡¯t kill them¡± Me: ¡°I¡¯ll try father¡± Arrancar: ¡°That¡¯s my boy haha. Now for this¡± He continues as he takes the piece cloth off. Its two rings Arrancar: ¡°This is a telepathy ring with mine and Liza¡¯s mana signature. We will not contact you because we want you to focus on studying ok¡± Me: ¡°Yes father¡± Arrancar: ¡°And this is a identifying ring. It will identify the rank of a magical beast¡± Me: ¡°Yes, thank you father very much¡± ---------- Right now I¡¯m in a carriage with at least 7 other kids my age, heading towards Dorama kingdom. It takes half a days¡¯ worth of riding to get there James: ¡°We will be there shortly¡± James also came with us to make sure that there would be no problems during the journey. The other 7 just talked with each other or looked at the scenery outside. Most of them tried to talk to me but I didn¡¯t have much to say. There is this one girl sitting in the corner sneaking glances at me After a while we arrive at our destination and pass through the city gates. It¡¯s a completely new sight for everyone, including me. The streets are filled with merchant trying to sell their products to people that are passing by. There are lots of old, run down and small houses The carriage stopped and James says James: ¡°We have arrived. Everyone step of the carriage¡± As we leave the carriage, I see our school. One big old building with most of the windows broken or boarded. The yard in front had no grass, only dirt and rubbish. Right next to it is the noble¡¯s school, the complete opposite from ours. James leads the way into the school and we follow. As I¡¯m about walk through the gates, I hear some noble kids talk very loudly, probably on purpose. ???#1: ¡°Look at them, so dirty¡± ???#2: ¡°They probably don¡¯t even understand what we are saying, so dumb AHAHAHAH!¡± Most of the kids from the village had already entered the school building, so only three of us were still outside. It was me, the girl that kept sneaking glances at me and a boy. The three of us turn to face the two boys as they began walking towards us Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. ???#1: ¡°I am Jinta Ide Ochi and this is Shinji Ide Ochi, my little brother. You can call me lord Jinta¡± Me: ¡°Why would I¡± I say with an expressionless face. Shinji retorts by saying Shinji: ¡°Shut that filthy mouth of yours¡± Jinta: ¡°Now now, calm down little brother. He is a commoner, so of course he doesn¡¯t know how to talk with us nobles¡± Me: ¡°What makes you say that? I only do not wish to degrade my mouth by calling someone as dim-witted as yourselves a ¡®Lord¡¯¡± The smile on their faces disappeared and loathing takes its place Jinta: ¡°Well well, quiet a talker aren¡¯t you. Do you think that you are smarter than me just because you can say such big words¡± Shinji: ¡°If you truly believe yourself to be smart then let me ask you a simple question¡± Me: ¡°Go right ahead¡± Shinji: ¡°What¡¯s the largest thing you can think of?¡± After thinking for 10 seconds I reply with Me: ¡°Infinity¡± The two burst into laughter while Shinji says Shinji: ¡°incorrect. The correct answer is Infinity plus two. But still you were close enough and for that, I will give you the honour of shaking my hand¡± He brings his hand forward, waiting for me to shake it. I walk up to him, grab his hand with enough force so that he cannot break free. I pull him close to me and reply with Me: ¡°Infinity in not present on the number line, you uneducated sh*t. Infinity is but a concept and cannot be assigned a numerical value, and thus, it cannot have something added to it to create a larger amount. F*cking educate yourself on basic mathematical ideas before you come at me with that sh*t¡± I let go of Shinji¡¯s hand after saying that Both Jinta and Shinji had no idea what I just said. My words basically flew over their heads or probably entered their left ear and exited from the right without heading to the brain, or maybe it did but they didn¡¯t understand any of it. There was a short silence until Jinta finally opened his mouth to say something Jinta: ¡°W-what, who do you think you are. I can ruin you and your family in less than a day¡± Me: ¡°I would like to see you try¡± Angered even further. Jinta tried to attack me but I pushed Shinji towards him. While he was busy catching his little brother, I rushed forward and did a leg sweep on Jinta. They both fall down on top of each other With the both of them eating the dirt off the ground I say Me: ¡°Don¡¯t try to pick fights that you cannot win¡± Then turn around to leave. Just then a carriage stops near the noble¡¯s school. Out of the carriage comes out the most beautiful girl I have ever seen She has long silky silver hair that reaches all the way down to her chest. Her eyes were cherries that set into the deep shadows below her perfectly sized eye brows. She looked to be around 12 years of age if not older because of her mature and cute looks, her figure on the other hand was perfectly sized of a 12 year old making her the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. *ba-dum**ba-dum* My heart started to race like never before and my chest could barely contain it. My face flushed a bright red colour and I knew it was love at first sight. She opens her mouth to say something to both Jinta and Shinji ???: ¡°blah blah blah blah¡± I couldn¡¯t hear anything as I was lost in her beauty. She then turns and faces me to say something. ???: ¡°¡­¡­.ex¡­.cus..e¡­..me¡± Me: ¡®I think she said something to me¡¯ ???: ¡°Excuse me¡± Me: ¡°*clears throat*Yes, umm sorry¡± ???: ¡°My name is Seira Enno Lily, and I would like to apologize on behalf of these two¡± Beautiful, her voice is so beautiful. Never have I ever heard such a soft, sweet and kind voice. A Goddess in the flesh Me: ¡°I-i-i-it¡¯s q-q-quiet a-a-alright¡± Seira: ¡°Thank you¡± She turns around to go to her school followed by the two brothers, the girl and boy behind me also leave Me: ¡®I want her I want her I WANT HER I WANT HER I WANT HER I WANT HER I WANT HER I WANT HER¡¯ That¡¯s all I though and I kept thinking it until she was out of my sight. I will make her mine without fail. She is mine ???: ¡®This amount of lust is too much for such a young child¡¯ I am rudely awakened from my deep thought by an unknown voice Me: ¡°Who¡¯s there, show yourself¡± ???: ¡®I cannot¡¯ Me: ¡°W-w-what, you coward. Come out now¡± ???: ¡®I cannot, until you summon me that is¡¯ A sudden realisation occurred to me Me: ¡°t-that means your---¡± ???: ¡®I am Asmodeus, one of the seven flames of hell, The Sin Of Lust¡¯ ---------- Thank You For Reading CH7: Lust ???: ¡®I am Asmodeus, one of the seven flames of hell, The Sin Of Lust¡¯ Me: ¡®A-are you in my head?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®¡­¡­..¡¯ Me: ¡®uhh, hello?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®My apologies and no I am not. I am currently in hell but as you¡¯re familiar, we can communicate telepathically'' Me: ¡®HAHA, this is great¡¯ This is indeed great not only did I just meet the most beautiful girl in my life, but now I can summon one of the ¡®sins¡¯. Best day ever Asmodeus: ¡®Oi boya, shouldn''t you be going into the academy building¡¯ Me: ¡®How do you know where I am?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®We have been watching you since our contract was finalized¡¯ Me: ¡®Are you always watching me?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Yes¡¯ Me: ¡®Even when I¡¯m taking a shower?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®¡­..d-don¡¯t you have to go to the academy¡¯ Oh yeah, I total forgot. I wanted to summon Asmodeus now, but I¡¯ll wait till I¡¯m alone. I walk into the building. The appearance of the inside is the same as the outside. I look for directions to the headmaster¡¯s office, luckily there are signs for me to follow I arrive at a very large door with a name plate on it, ¡®HEADMASTER¡¯ is written on it. I knock on the door and hear a voice asking me ???: ¡°Who is it?¡± Me: ¡°My name is Lanza Del Relampago, I¡¯m a new student¡± I hear James¡¯s voice telling me to come it. After entering I see James, the seven other kids and a fairly young man. He seems to be in his late twenties, brown hair, black eyes and sitting on a chair behind a desk. James: ¡°We have been waiting for you. Where in the world were you?¡± Me: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I got a little ¡®side tracked¡¯¡± Headmaster: ¡°It¡¯s aright James. Let me introduce myself, I am Frantelle Takeo. Now since all you are here, I will tell you all the important information and rules that you all need to know First, any and all complications between you and your peers can be settled in a formal dual Second, for your first year in this academy, lodging and meals will be free. After first year, you will need to pay 1 gold per year for living necessitates and meals Third, you will not cause any trouble with the noble¡¯s school Fourth, you will follow your giving timetable for all your classes And lastly, you will give it your all while in my academy¡± Frantelle Takeo, I have read about him in a book that James had in his office. He is a low-alpha with, light, water, earth, wind and lighten attributes. He is also the man that created attribute fusion. He is one of the strongest and most respected man in all of Touro. But why is such a man here of all places (Author¡¯s Note: Attribute fusion will be explained later) I raise my hand to ask a question Frantelle: ¡°Yes young one. What is it?¡± Me: ¡°What if the nobles are the ones who start the trouble¡± I will ask him why he is the headmaster here later Frantelle: ¡°Then by all means you needn''t hold back¡± He replied with a grin on his face, while I asked another question Me: ¡°And the consequences?¡± Frantelle: ¡°A formal dual with the entirety of both schools as the spectators¡± A grin then appeared on my face. I was now hoping that Jinta or Shinji would try to have a dual with me. It¡¯s not that I want to fight, no actually that will be an excuse to see Seria again. Frantelle: ¡°Also I would like for all of you to keep Lanza¡¯s mid-beta rank a secret. Will you be alright with that Lanza?¡± Boy1: ¡°Why¡± A boy from the village asks, while another says Boy2: ¡°If people know that Lanza is so strong then they won¡¯t mess with us¡± Frantelle: ¡°Well the reason I want to keep his power a secret is because, he will become our secret weapon during the Royal Narth School Competitions at the end of this year¡± Me: ¡°It¡¯s fine. This way I¡¯ll have less trouble from the nobles. But can you tell what this competition is about¡± Frantelle: ¡°All in due time. All of you have the same timetable and will also be living in the same housing units. Your luggage and timetable is already there¡± Girl1: ¡°But we can¡¯t live together with boys¡± Frantelle: ¡°There are four rooms in each housing unit. You girls can share one room while the boys will be sharing the other three. Now all of you please make your way to your housing units, there is no one to help you find it so just follow the signs OK and James can I talk to you for a moment¡± The eight of us leave them two to talk in private. We follow the signs and try to find our unit. We find the housing units, they are at the back of the school along with hundreds of other commoner children All of the other kids are from different villages. Students of the city live in their own homes with their families. They come in the morning and leave after their last class. The kingdom of Dorama is not that large, so it takes 30 minutes in a carriage to get from one side of the city to another The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. As we arrive to our assigned unit, number 62. Some other children come to welcome us and introduce themselves to us. After the introduction, I enter the unit first, the sight is nothing impressive. There is a big room with all of our luggage in it and four doors, two on each side. The rest come behind me. I walk to one of the doors and say Me: ¡°If none of you mind, then I would like to have this room¡± Everyone shook their hands, agreeing with me Me: ¡°You all can decide the room sharing by yourselves, now if you¡¯ll excuse me¡± I enter the small and cramped room that has two beds on each side and a window at the back. Choosing the left bed I lay down on it. Closing my eyes, I begin thinking about Asmodeus Asmodeus, the sin of Lust. Her power is to trap people into illusion of lust, the ¡®Lustful Dream¡¯ Me: ¡®Asmodeus¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®What is it boya¡¯ Me: ¡®My name is Lanza, not boya¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Well in my eyes you are just a little boy, both physically and mentally¡¯ Me: ¡®You do realise that you¡¯re the first woman to ever call herself old¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Age does not apply to me, so I am not a day older then when I was first created by lord Death¡¯ Fair enough Me: ¡®Moving on. Let¡¯s summon you, shall we¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Boya, it would best to not summon me unless you are in a predicament¡¯ Me: ¡®Why¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Summoning me will let the greater gods know about you and our contract and they will send their champions to kill you¡¯ Me: ¡®Then how do I use you¡¯re power without being hunted down?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®You can channel my power through your body, thus making it into your own power¡¯ Me: ¡®Wait what. Death told me that I cannot use the powers of the ¡®sins¡¯ because the mana that is required is too great and that my body cannot handle that much power¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Yes, but Lord Death decided to give you a bonus present¡¯ Me: ¡®He did?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Did you never wonder why you had such a large mana pool?¡¯ Me: ¡®that was because of Death?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Yes. He also made your body special¡¯ Me: ¡®Special how?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Indeed. Your body is similar to deity and with your large mana pool you can use my Flame, but only 10% of its actual power¡¯ Me: ¡®10% huh. Will I be able to use more?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Your mana pool will grow alongside your body. At the age of 15 you¡¯ll have more mana then a lesser god and you¡¯ll be able to us 35% of my actual power¡¯ Me: ¡®Is that all?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®No. You will be able to use my full power in the not so distant future, but you can only use 50% while in the mortal realm¡¯ That makes sense. If I use ¡®Lustful Dream¡¯ at 10% capacity, then that will drain all my mana, tho that capacity will increase as I grow older. 10% will not be strong enough to hold a low-alpha or above in ¡®Lustful Dream¡¯. If I use it at 1% capacity, then it can be used 10 times in one battle Tossing my thoughts aside for a moment, I decide to get up and bring my luggage in. exiting the room, I see the others standing in a circle, still discussing about the room arrangements. One of the boys sees me and says Boy#1: ¡°Umm, a-are you going somewhere Lanza?¡± Me: ¡°I came to get my stuff, ummm. I¡¯m sorry but I do not know any of your names¡± Boy#1: ¡°Ohh, that¡¯s ok. My name is Rodrigo Skies¡± Rodrigo was the oldest out of all of us, I think. He had black hair and eyes and was the tallest out of us Boy#2: ¡°I am Doto Faz¡± Doto had short blue hair, green eyes and an arrogant tone in his voice Boy#3: ¡°The names Kekkei Al Kure¡± Boy#4: ¡°Genkai Al Kure¡± Kekkei and Genkai are identical twins. They both had brown hair that reached up to their shoulders. The only way to tell them apart was their eyes colour. Kekkei had black eyes, while Genkai had blue eyes Girl#1: ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the beautiful Matabi Locser¡± Long red hair made into two ponytails. Red eyes and a very cute smile Girl#2: ¡°Hi hi. I¡¯m Himawari Nab¡± Himawari wasn¡¯t the shy type and she clearly showed it. With her green hair that went up to her ears and dark brown eyes Girl#3: ¡°ummmm. I-i-i-i¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.K-K-Karin C-Cifer¡± Karin was the girl that kept sneaking glances at me, she was rather cute herself, with that greyish silver hair that extended all the way to her knees and beautiful red eyes Me: ¡°I am Lanza Del Relampago. Pleasure to meet you all¡± ---------- Thank you all for reading I will now post a new chapter every 2-3 days CH8: Teacher & Student After the introduction and the room arrangements were done, we all went to our respective rooms. The room arrangements were as followed, Rodrigo and Doto shared a room, the twins Kekkei and Genkai shared a room, the two girls Matabi and Himawari in another room, while I was sharing a room with Karin. Since there are two beds in each room and the boy to girl ratio is high so Karin will share a room with me Karin is sitting on her bad with her legs pressing her chest, leaning on the wall behind her and her head lowered. I am also sitting on my bed facing her Me: ¡®This is awkward¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Talk to her boya¡¯ Me: ¡®I¡¯m not that great at handling girls and will you please stop calling me boya¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Give me a reason to stop calling you boya then I will¡¯ Me: ¡®What reason do you want?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®By showing me that you¡¯re a man¡¯ Me: ¡®How?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Fulfil you¡¯re lustful desires with Seira, only then will I consider you a man¡¯ Me: ¡®¡­...¡¯ Just by hearing her name my face instantly turned red and a creepy grin appeared on my face. Seeing the sudden change in my behaviour, Karin got anxious. Looking at her agitated face I begin to say Me: ¡°How have you been?¡± Instead of answering, she looked down while blushing Asmodeus: ¡®You suck at picking up chicks¡¯ Me: ¡®I¡¯m not trying to pick up anyone. I trying to do some small talk¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®But you do need a lot of practice boya¡¯ Me: ¡®I am not trying to--- Never mind¡¯ Having had enough of Asmodeus, I decided to lay down and go to sleep ---------- The next morning, all of us in housing unit 62 got ready for our first day for schooling. We made our way to the first class, which was History. When I entered the classroom, I saw that the class was already somewhat full with students and a female teacher standing in front of the class She looked to be in her mid-sixties, grey hair and black eyes and dressed as a grandma. She looks at us entering and says ???: ¡°You kids are from housing unit 62. Correct?¡± Rodrigo was the one who responded. Since his the oldest, he has taken the leader position Rodrigo: ¡°Yes we are¡± ???: ¡°Good. I was waiting for you. I am Lana Gmail you¡¯re History teacher. Now which one of you is Lanza?¡± Me: ¡°That would be me¡± Lana: ¡°The headmaster wishes to see, can you go there now?¡± Me: ¡°Yes¡± After answering her, I turn around and exit the room and make my way to the headmaster¡¯s office. I arrive outside his door and *Knock Knock* Frantelle: ¡°Who is it?¡± Me: ¡°It¡¯s Lanza. You called for me¡± Frantelle: ¡°Ah yea. Please enter¡± I enter his office. He gestures for me to sit on a chair. When I sit down, he starts to talk This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. Frantelle: ¡°Lanza, do you know why I called you here¡± I shook my Frantelle: ¡°Well you see, James has told me a lot about you. About you¡¯re strength and power. So I thought that it would be a waste to have you study with the other students¡± Me: ¡°So what will I be doing then?¡± Frantelle: ¡°I¡¯m going teach you personally¡± Me: ¡°Why me¡± Frantelle: ¡°No reason in particular. If you don¡¯t want to then you don¡¯t have to¡± Should I take him up on the offer? It would be better than going to these boring classes and listening to stuff that I already know. But why does he want to ¡®personally¡¯ teach me? Me: ¡°Make me an offer that I cannot refuse¡± He leans forward in his chair, while resting his elbows on the table and putting his hands under his chin. With a grin on his face, he says Frantelle: ¡°How bout you make me an offer to take you in as my personal apprentice¡± Why should I. In terms of knowledge, mine exceeds his. In terms of power, I out match him. The only thing he has more than me is experience Me: ¡°Then if you¡¯ll excuse me¡± I stand and start to walk towards the door, just then Frantelle slammed the table while standing up and in a loud voice said Frantelle: ¡°WAIT!¡± I stopped in my tracks and gaze back at him Frantelle: ¡°I want you to teach me¡± Me: ¡°Come again¡± Frantelle: ¡°I want you to teach me how to manipulate pure mana¡± So that¡¯s it. Pure mana is almost impossible to manipulate or move throughout the body. People just convert it into attribute mana and then use it for spells. Right now, only I can use its full potential. Many have tried before to control it but failed. That¡¯s because they didn''t have the knowledge that I have Me: "What makes you think that i know how, in the first place?" Frantelle: "James told me" How the hell does he know, anyway that doesn''t matter right now Me: ¡°So the master wants to become the student¡± Frantelle: ¡°Yes. Will you please teach me?¡± Me: ¡°Does it not hurt you¡¯re pride to ask a child to be your teacher?¡± Frantelle: ¡°No¡± I rise a brow and with I grin and say Me: ¡°Ho. And why is that¡± Frantelle: ¡°Age is only but a number¡± I like that response Me: ¡°But why should I help you¡± Frantelle: ¡°You give me what I want and I¡¯ll give you anything you want. Of course nothing unreasonable¡± Having someone like him owe me a favor will prove to be beneficial in the future Me: ¡°Fine. What I want is--¡± ---------- cliffhanger: sorry guys the chapter was so short, next time it will be normal. Please rate, follow and comment CH9: Preparation It¡¯s been a week since I¡¯ve come to this academy. I haven¡¯t attended any classes or talked to anyone expect Frantelle and my house mates. In the last week I have been teaching Frantelle basic control over pure mana and frankly, he¡¯s gotten no where My house mates, other students and teacher were all told by the headmaster that I will not be attending any classes, unless told so otherwise. My house mates asked me for the reason, I simply told them that the headmaster is training me personally. Tho it¡¯s the other way around As for Frantelle¡¯s training, well he sucks. He hasn¡¯t improved a single bit within the last week. Tho I only train him an hour or two during the day because he has to work. When he is busy working, I go to the school roof and look (spy) at the noble¡¯s school. My reason for doing so is simple, Seira. After a month Frantelle can move 2% of pure mana throughout his body to his index finger. It¡¯s hard to manipulate pure mana and I am purposely withholding information from him. So only teaching him very basics Me: ¡°So Mr.Frantelle, I have kept my end of the bargain and I hope that you will keep yours¡± Frantelle: ¡°Of course and thank you very much¡± Me: ¡°So I will be returning to my normal classes from tomorrow?¡± Frantelle: ¡°Actually about that¡± God damn it, now what is it Me: ¡°What is it?¡± Frantelle: ¡°Remember about the Royal Narth School Competitions I talked about when you first arrived here¡± Me: ¡°Yea, what about it¡± Frantelle: ¡°Well you see, there are three stages of this contest. First is between the two schools in each Kingdom. Second stage is between kingdoms. And the last stage is between continents¡± Me: ¡°And you want me to fight?¡± Frantelle: ¡°Yes that is correct¡± Me: ¡°And why would I do that¡± Asmodeus: ¡®I think you should fight boya¡¯ Me: ¡®Why¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Make a grand appearance in front of the entire world and impress Seira while you¡¯re at it. Killing two birds with one stone. Wouldn¡¯t you agree boya¡¯ That right, if Seira sees how strong I am, then she will definitely fall for me Me: ¡°How does the competition work exactly?¡± Frantelle: ¡°Well we would hold a small competition of our own to pick the top 5 students who will fight against the nobles, the fight with the nobles will be one on one and the winners of those individual fights will go to the second stage. Form the second stage and onwards, it will be group battles, so basically five on five, until one group is left standing and so forth. The details of the second and third stage will be explained later So are you agreeing to this?¡± Me: ¡°Well let me think¡­.ok I¡¯m in but I have a condition of my own¡± Frantelle: ¡°And that is?¡± Me: ¡°I want to fight the strongest student from the noble¡¯s academy¡± With an evil grin he says Frantelle: ¡°Of course¡± ---------- Seira POV As long as I can understand, I was surrounded by people, bad people, people who prey on the weak and poor and I was born in a house full of it. My name is Seira to be exact princess Seira daughter of the king of Dorama and sister of prince Rubix the next in line to take the throne. When I was little they would teach to walk on the weak and the poor, but there were few who thought me otherwise When I turned 6 last year I was admitted to the ¡®Royal Noble Academy¡¯ with my older brother Rubix. At the beginning of the school year, I arrived a day early to have a little discussion with the headmaster. When the wagon neared the academy, I saw two noble boys, Jinta and Shinji that were picking on a student from the commoners academy Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! I saw that the brothers were about to attack the other boy but, he instantly defeated the two. I immediately left the wagon and went to where the three of them were. When I got close enough, Jinta and Shinji noticed me while the other boy seemed lost in deep thought. I told off the brothers to not do anything like that again in the future and then I turned to the other boy and spoke Seira: ¡°Excuse me¡± I said to the boy, but there was no response Seira: ¡°Excuse me¡± I said again, hoping to break him free from his thoughts ???: ¡°*clears throat*Yes, umm sorry¡± He finally replied. Now I must introduce myself and apologize to him for the trouble these two have caused Seira: ¡°My name is Seira Enno Lily, and I would like to apologize on behalf of these two¡± ???: ¡°I-i-i-it¡¯s q-q-quiet a-a-alright¡± He stuttered with his response. I simply smile and say Seira: ¡°Thank you¡± With that, I turn and leave into the academy, followed by Jinta and Shinji. When we enter the building, Jinta spoke Jinta: ¡°My lady, there was no need for you to apologize to a mere commoner¡± Seira: ¡°Apologizing does not make someone lesser then others¡± After talking with the brothers and finishing the matter with the headmaster. The normal daily life continued until the competition started and I saw that boy again In preparation for the contest against the ¡®Royal Commoner Academy¡¯, the top 5 from our academy were chosen. They were Jinta Ide Ochi, high-delta with fire, earth and dark attributes Shinji Ide Ochi, mid-delta with water and lighting attributes Dettol Xperia, mid-delta with earth and water attribute Rubix Enno Lily, low-gamma with light, water and wind attributes And lastly was me Seira Enno Lily, high-delta with light and dark attributes It was evening of the competition day. Four matches were already done, including mine. All the matches were won by our academy students and the last match was about to begin. My brother was already on the field, waiting for his opponent. He had an arrogant look on his face, telling the whole crowd that he has already won Jinta: ¡°Well, this is to be expected¡± Shinji: ¡°Indeed brother. We nobles are much better than commoner scum¡± Jinta: ¡°And of course the Prince is going to win¡± Dettol: ¡°Why make the prince fight in the first place. His title of price should already state that he is the strongest¡± The three idiots were sitting next to me and spouting nonsense about their victories and how my brother is going to win with ease. They even started to make bets on how long his opponent will last. Just then the announcer does the introduction for brother and his opponent Announcer: ¡°Ladies and Gentleman, now for the final match of the first stage of the ¡®Royal Narth School Competition¡¯ representing the ¡®Royal Noble Academy¡¯ Prince Rubix Enno Lily and his opponent from the ¡®Royal Commoner Academy¡¯ Lanza Del Relampago¡± ---------- CH10: First Stage Today is the day the competition starts. The competition was held in the Noble¡¯s Academy, as they had a bigger stadium that could fit both schools and many spectators. There were many noble and commoner families. The stadium was divided into two. The right was were the nobles were and the left had the commoners. The royal family themselves had come to see their son and daughter compete. The participants were in a resting area. There they can warm up and watch the fight up close. I was sitting with the rest of the spectators The matches were about to begin. In the middle of the field, the announcer appeared. He looked to be in his late 30¡¯s, with brown hair, standard built and with a loud voice he spoke Announcer: ¡°Ladies and Gentleman, Welcome to the First Stage of the ¡®Royal Narth School Competition¡¯. In the first stage 5 students will be selected to represent Dorama Kingdom in the second stage of this competition. The selection method is quiet simple, one student from the commoner school will fight one student from the noble school and the winner will become one of the five to represent Dorama Kingdom. This will continue until all five spots have been filled Now without further ado. Let¡¯s begin the first match¡± *HURRAH* Loud cheers were heard from the crowd. The cheering was mostly done by the boys and some male adults Announcer: ¡°Representing the ¡®Royal Noble Academy¡¯ Dettol Xperia and his opponent from the ¡®Royal Commoner Academy¡¯ Lg Nike. BEGIN¡± The first two matches have finished. The winners were the nobles and cheering from the commoners side had become softer. Now it was time for the third match. Announcer: ¡°Things aren¡¯t looking too great for the commoner academy. Now the third match. From the ¡®Commoner academy¡¯ Internet Security and from the ¡®Noble Academy¡¯ Seira Enno Lily¡± As soon as I heard her name, I stood up with a face that showed a happy, excited and thrilled expressions, all at the same time She walked out of the nobles resting area and onto the field. She looked beautiful, more so then the first time I saw her. She faced her opponent with eyes that were burning with fire Her opponent was some random guy with a sword that I didn¡¯t know Announcer: ¡°BEGIN¡± He rushed forward, straight to her, closing the gap of 50 meters in a few seconds. He swung his sword sideways, aiming at her hip. She jumped backwards, while casting a spell. As she landed, she shoots three water spears straight at him. He sidesteps them and again heads towards her while casting a spell of his own. He shoots lighting straight at her, she creates a lighting barrier that nullifier his lighting The two were fighting for about 5 minutes until Seira Made the finishing blow. She won. The noble boys and girls were cheering for her. But the commoners showed a sad expression, as if they have lost all hope Me: ¡®That¡¯s my girl¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®She¡¯s not yours yet boya¡¯ Me: ¡®Grrr¡¯ Unlike the other winners, she goes to where her opponent was laying. Seeing that she was coming his way, the guy stood up and gave a deep bow. She smiles and says something to him before walking off. The guy¡¯s face was bright red. That piss me off. So I left my seat and headed off towards the resting area for our school I entered the resting area, there were only the three students, as the fourth one had left for her match. I go up to the boy that Seira fought with and angrily asked him Me: ¡°What did she say that made you blush like a little girl meeting Justin bi*ber for the first time¡± Internet: ¡°Who the hell is that?¡± Me: ¡°Nevermind who he is. Just answer the question¡± Internet: ¡°She said that it was a great match¡± Me: ¡°Ohh. That¡¯s good then¡± I head towards the field entrances with a massive grin, waiting for my name to be called. I can¡¯t wait to impress her The fourth match lasted about 10 minutes. It could¡¯ve gone either way, but the noble brat had an extra attribute, while gave him the advantage. The commoner kid heads towards where I am standing and the noble brat went the other direction. As soon as the noble kid enters the waiting area, a douchebag like figure appears, approaching the field Announcer: ¡°Ladies and Gentleman, now for the final match of the first stage of the ¡®Royal Narth School Competition¡¯ representing the ¡®Royal Noble Academy¡¯ Prince Rubix Enno Lily and his opponent from the ¡®Royal Commoner Academy¡¯ Lanza Del Relampago¡± Prince, Seira¡¯s older brother. This will be interesting. Upon hearing my name, I head to the field. Stopping just around 50-60 meters from the prince. Boo¡¯s could be heard from the nobles side, some even telling me to go die and sh*t Rubix: ¡°*Hmpf*. Look here commoner, if you surrender right now, then I will let you leave without pain¡± The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. Me: ¡°¡­.¡± Rubix: ¡°W-what, are you ignoring me¡± Me: ¡°¡­.¡± Rubix: ¡°How dare you. You are a mere commoner, and yet you ignore me. Your future king!¡± Me: ¡°¡­.¡± Rubix: ¡°Fine. I will show you the difference between us¡± Announcer: ¡°BEGIN¡± *BOOOMM* ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± It all happened in an instant. The only thing everyone saw was that in a blink of an eye, I was standing were the prince had stood and the doors to the nobles resting area was now broken. Silence had surrounded the entire stadium. No one spoke. Not even the king What I did was child¡¯s play. I used fire flight at 15% and fire fist at 5% and hit the prince on the chest. This only took 5% of my total mana Roughly 30 seconds later, Rubix appeared from the broken doors, injured and wobbly. Blood was coming out from the side of his head and nose. His neat cloths, were now filthy and ripped. His breathing was heavy and unsteady Rubix: ¡°*Huff* w-w-what did *huff* y-y-you do¡± Me: ¡°¡­.¡± Asmodeus: ¡®Oi boya¡¯ Me: ¡®What¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Why don¡¯t you use your new flame on him¡¯ Me: ¡®An experiment?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Why not. You haven¡¯t used it anyways. Now¡¯s a good a time as any¡¯ Me: ¡®hehehe¡¯ Let¡¯s embarrass him a little He is making his way towards me, slowly, barely able to stay on his feet. The perfect test subject. I gather a light pink flame on my left hand and shoot it towards Rubix. He can¡¯t dodge it. The flame enters through his nose and makes it way to his brain and I also closed my eyes Me: ¡°Lustful Dream¡± Rubix fell on his knees, tears falling down his face and in a low and shaky voice he says Rubix: ¡°I-i-i s-surrender¡± ---------- What I did was quiet difficult, when the pink flames entered Rubix¡¯s brain, it showed him what he lust¡¯s after, in his cases it was wealth, power, women and fame. I established a link between the pink flame and myself, so by closing my eyes I entered Rubix¡¯s ¡®Lustful Dream¡¯ and little by little, I took away everything he had. I spoke to him in his dream, as I was able to move freely and he was not Me: ¡°Surrender or else it will get worse¡± That¡¯s the reason why he surrendered Me: ¡°And you will not remember any of this dream¡± With that, he also forgot everything about it ---------- Back to the match Announcer: ¡°T-the prince has surrendered. The winner is Lanza from the commoner academy¡± The stadium was still in silence, until a commoner boy stood up and with a loud voice * HURRAH* Seeing the boy, the rest of the commoners all started to cheer as well *HUUURRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHH* While the nobles were in disbelieve ---------- Seira POV After my match I made my way to where my family was It all happened in an instant. The boy, Lanza stood where my brother was, and my brother was nowhere to be seen. I was shocked and speechless. Not just me, but no one within the entire stadium uttered a single word I saw the resting area for my school. The door for it was broken and within a few seconds, my brother emerged from within it. He was beaten up pretty badly and was barely able to stand. He made his way back to the field, but as he was doing that. Lanza created a beautiful pink flame and shot it towards my brother and it just disappeared Seconds later, my brother fell on his knees and surrendered the match. It was still silence, until a boy from the commoner¡¯s school started cheering, followed by the rest Lanza had turned around and was leaving for the resting area, when my brother started to do something. He used his light attribute to heal himself a bit and combined water and wind attributes to create an ¡®Ice¡¯ attributed spear and shot it towards Lanza¡¯s back No one dared to stop him, as he was the prince and whoever did interfere would be punished by my father, the king. As the spear was about to hit Lanza. Intense flames erupted from him and covered his entire body. The flames melted the ice spear. Horror filled everyone¡¯s face, such power, such pressure, I have never felt it in my entire life Lanza didn¡¯t even stop, he just continued walking with those flames. As he reached the entrances for the resting area, the flames disappeared with his figure ---------- CH11: The Hunger Games Rubix POV I was born into the royal family of Dorama, as the first prince and future king. I started learning magic at the age of three. And started training in combat at the age of five. I was held as a genius. Undefeatable and unmatched by my peers. At the age of six, when I entered the ¡®Royal Noble Academy¡¯, I was already a low-gamma. I didn¡¯t enter the ¡®Royal Narth School Competition¡¯ as I wanted to enter it alongside my little sister next year Today was the start of the first round of the competition. I was confidant in my skills that I have been honing since the age of three. It was going well, my sister and the other three had won their matches. After the fourth match, I quickly entered the stadium and awaited for my opponent. The announcer introduced me and my opponent Rubix: ¡®Lanza huh. What a weakling¡¯ Is what I thought. I didn¡¯t want to fight. Why, well because I wanted to hide my skills until the second round and surprise the world. I wanted to show them my greatness especially the beautiful women that would be watching I offered the commoner a choice to surrender and save himself form the pain and humiliation that I was about to bestow upon him. But he didn¡¯t even response Rubix: ¡®How dare him¡¯ I was filled with rage, now I was not going to hold back, I will end his miserable life, right here and now Announcer: ¡°BEGIN¡± Even before the announcer had started the match, I had already started to convert mana and gather it on my hands *BOOMM* Rubix: ¡®WTF happened¡¯ Before I even realised, I was in the resting area, my whole body was hurting. I used my light attribute to heal myself and barely managed to get backup. I was dizzy but I still managed to make it back onto the field. There he stood, where I was standing Rubix: ¡®What did he do?¡¯ He then ignited a small pink flame in one hand and shot it towards me. I put up a light shield to defend against it. A light shield cannot be seen during the day Just as the pink flame was a meter away from me, everything went dark Rubix: ¡°I-i-i s-surrender¡± Rubix: ¡®W-what, why would I surrender¡¯ I didn¡¯t know what was going on, I was on my knees and tears were flowing down my face. Everyone in the entire stadium saw my disgusting side. While he just turned his back to me and started to walk away, as if this was nothing to him Rubix: ¡®Him. This is his fault¡¯ I healed myself and started to combine wind and water mana to form an ice spear and shot it at his back. My intention was to kill him. Just as it was about to hit him, Intense flames erupted from him and covered his entire body. The flames melted the ice spear and he walked away as if I was nothing compared to him ---------- Lanza POV Me: ¡®Damn I¡¯m hungry¡¯ Using the ¡®Lustful Dream¡¯ ended up depleting all my mana, even tho I used ¡®Lustful dreams¡¯ at only 1% capacity. That was because of three factors First was the Dream to reality time ratio. I spent 2 hours in Rubix¡¯s dream while only a few seconds passed in reality And the second was manipulation, I manipulated Rubix¡¯s dream however I wanted. I took away everything he wants The last factor was when he shot something at me. I used the last of my mana and made flames erupt from me. The reason I did that instead of dodging was to impress Seira When normal people use up all their mana, they lose consciousness or get extremely tired, while on the other hand am not normal. My body is that of deity, so when I use up all my mana I get really hungry As the first stage ended with 4 nobles and 1 commoner qualified for the next stage, I was walking back to my academy to fill my belly when Frantelle called out my name and I turned to face him Frantelle: ¡°Lanza, where are you going. There is a party bring held in the noble academy to congratulate the winner¡± Me: ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I¡¯m really tired¡± His lips curled upwards Frantelle: ¡°Seira will also be there¡± Me: ¡®Sh*t. I have to go then¡¯ I changed directions and went towards the noble academy again. Frantelle guided me to the hall where the party was being held. Upon entering the hall, I sensed killing intent directed at me Everyone in the hall were noble students and the academy teachers. Everyone¡¯s face showed an irritated or aggressive expression¡¯s, well almost everyone. Seira showed me a bright smile, a smile that will light up the darkest parts of the world Me: ¡®Beautiful¡¯ My face was red and I started to daydream about me and her, about our future together. I was standing there looking like a retard when I hear a voice from behind me You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. ???: ¡°Excuse me¡± I turned to see who the voice belonged to. He was an old man, in his late 40s, blond hair that reached his shoulders, shape black eyes that may cut the air itself in half. But was caught my attention the most about this man, wasn¡¯t his appearance, but the crown he wore on top of his head. He was the King of Dorama, Majin Enno Lily Majin: ¡°That was quiet a match young man¡± He said with a voice that was as cold as ice and continued Majin: ¡°You show great promise and I have never seen the way you used your flames. Truly amazing¡± He then took a step back and gave me a small bow and in a low voice said Majin: ¡°I apologize for what my son, Rubix had done after the match had concluded¡± I and everyone in the hall were shocked at what had just happened. The King of Dorama bowed his head in front of a child and to make matter worse, that child was nothing more than a commoner Me: ¡°M-my lord. Why are you apologizing? No harm was done and a king should not bow to a mere commoner like me. It should be I that bows to you¡± He then went on to say Majin: ¡°I am not apologizing as a king, I am apologizing as a father, whose child has done something wrong¡± Me: ¡°B-but my lord --¡± Majin: ¡°Young man. It is a parent¡¯s duty to teach their children about the true values of life and to bring them up with discipline. My daughter Seira understood it all but my son Rubix, fell on the way. His mind got clouded with the authority he has as princes and the power he attained at such a young age, among other things. Today¡¯s loss has affected him a great deal, but with it, his resolve is anew and I promise you that he will be a better person tomorrow then he was today and for that I thank you young man. Thank you very much¡± With that said he turned to leave. The two guards behind him showed a happy expression. What made them smile was that the king they severed wasn¡¯t someone who would abuse their authority or power for personal gain. He indeed is a great man and worthy to be king The king and his guards were leaving, I heard some whispering to each other about what had just happened. Ignoring all of them, I turned, upon seeing who was just a few inches away from me. I was throw off my guard Seira: ¡°We meet again Lanza¡± That voice. I could hear that voice all day long without getting tired of it Me: ¡°H-h-hi S-seira. Hahaha how are you¡± I said awkwardly Seira: ¡°I¡¯m good. That was a gre---¡± *Growl* She was interrupted by my stomach. I immediately looked the other way, trying to hide my face from her She let out a cute giggle while saying Seira: ¡°We can talk while eating *giggle*¡± Me: ¡°Y-yea¡± Seira led the way to a table where the food was placed. When I saw the amount of food, my mouth began drooling on its own. The smell didn¡¯t help Me: ¡®I Want it. I WANT It! IIII WAANNTTTT IITTTT!¡¯ I rushed forward, not caring for table manners, I picked up the food with my bare hands and started stuffing it in my mouth. Everyone including Seira looked at me, like I¡¯m a wild animal who hasn¡¯t eating anything for weeks I didn¡¯t stop. I knew that I was hungry, but not this hungry After 5 minutes of stuffing my face, my hungry finally disappeared and the food was satisfying. I look around to see the disgust on everyone¡¯s face. I see Seira, her face shows shock, but then she says Seira: ¡°haha. You are a heavy eater¡± Me: ¡°Not always¡± I said in a low voice Me: ¡®Man that was embarrassing. What the hell happened? It was as if I couldn''t control my own body¡¯ ???: ¡®That¡¯s indeed right, ya pig¡¯ The voice was in my head, but it didn¡¯t belong to Asmodeus. I knew what this meant Me: ¡®And you are?¡¯ ???: ¡®I am Beelzebub, a flame of hell. The sin of Gluttony¡¯ Beelzebub can create an invisible flame that fuses with the user, creating an armour of flames that cannot be seen or penetrated. Me: ¡®Tell me Beelzebub, why was I so hungry?¡¯ Beelzebub: ¡®We sins amplify the emotion we represent. So you¡¯re lust increases because of Asmodeus and hunger because of me. We can stop the amplification of that emotion if you want¡¯ Me: ¡®¡­..¡¯ That means Beelzebub: ¡®Oi pig, are you listening¡¯ That I have been lusting over Seira because of Asmodeus Me:¡¯ASMODEUS YOU BIT*H. Why the hell did you not tell me something as important as this? I would¡¯ve done something really embarrassing¡¯ Admodeus: ¡®Heheheh. Well you see boya, I did it for fun¡¯ ---------- CH12: Training ---------- Rodrigo: ¡°Lanza. Umm can you¡­Can you help us become strong¡± Matabi: ¡°Yea Lanza. Please, pretty please with cheery on top *puppy dog eyes*¡± The rest of the kids from my housing unit were standing behind Rodrigo and Matabi, wanting to be trained by me but none had the courage to ask directly. So they got Rodrigo and Matabi to ask me instead Me: ¡°Sure. I can help you guys a little¡± Everyone becomes happy and start whispering to each other Me: ¡°Tomorrow morning before sun rise, be up and ready¡± I went into my room and slept Yesterday was the party for the winners. Seira and I becomes friends, tho the other winners didn¡¯t like me all that much, especially Jinta and Shinji ----Next Morning---- Me: ¡°We will leave the kingdom and go to the forest to fight magical beast and to do some physical training¡± They all nod with a serious face. It¡¯s weird how no one is questioning me We arrive at the forest just outside Dorama Kingdom. It¡¯s call Gotham forest, where mostly bat-like magical beast reside. Their rank ranges from low-delta to high-gamma and none have more than three attributes. This forest is mainly used by the Academies for training their students or for them to gain battle experiences Just outside the forest, Genkai questions me Genkai: ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s safe for us without a teacher¡± With a sinister grin I replied Me: ¡°I am you¡¯re teacher my young padawan¡± Himawari: ¡°You¡¯re young what¡± Ignoring her I point my finger towards the forest and say Me: ¡°Onwards my minions¡± Rodrigo took the lead and ran into the forest, man that kid is determined. After hesitating for a few seconds, the rest follow him. Leaving only me behind Me: ¡°Don¡¯t get yourself killed, god forbid it¡¯ll make me happy¡± So after an hour in the forest. The kids have fought against 2 beast so far and nearly died both times. God they are weak. Maybe I should¡¯ve actually trained them before coming to the forest. Oh well We stop in a resting area within the forest. No magical beast can come inside so it¡¯s perfect for resting Rodrigo: ¡°*huff* Lan- *puff* Lanza, this is *huff* to hard¡± Kekkei: ¡°Yea *huff* we aren¡¯t *huff* that strong¡± Everyone but Karin complained.it pissed me off and with a distorted face I say Me: ¡°First of all, you guys are the ones who asked for my help and now you are complaining. Is this how you are going to become stronger?¡± That just bough down everyone spirit. They all look at the ground silently. After a few minutes, Karin gets up and walks towards me and with her head down, says Karin: ¡°P-p-please t-tea-ch us¡± The rest look up with a bitter smile and apologizes to me Me: ¡°Do you all truly want to become strong¡± ¡°¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±YES¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡±¡± Me: ¡°Good. Than we will stay in this forest for 1 week and within that week, you all will become at least twice as strong as you are now¡± Doto: ¡°What about school¡± Me: ¡°What about it¡± Doto: ¡°Don¡¯t we have to go to it¡± Me: ¡°Ahh. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already talked about it with Frantelle¡± Kekkei: ¡°If you say so¡± Me: ¡°ok listen up. We will go to the middle of the forest make camp there ok¡± Rodrigo: ¡°Why the middle¡± Me: ¡°There is a steep hill in the middle and we are going to use it for training. Now follow me¡± As we being walking towards the middle of the forest. I activate the telepathy ring Frantelle gave me Me: ¡®Oi Frantelle¡¯ Frantelle: ¡®Don¡¯t you have any respect for you elders¡¯ Me: ¡®I do, but not for you. Now listen to me¡¯ Frantelle: ¡®What is it?¡¯ Me: ¡®everyone in my housing unit, including I, will not be attending any classes for one week ok bye¡¯ Frantelle: ¡®W-wait wh---¡¯ ---------- It was already night. A camp fire was burning and we were all sitting in a circle discussing the training Me: ¡°I need all of you to tell me your ranks and number of attributes¡± Rodrigo: ¡°I am a mid-omega with earth and water attributes¡± Doto: ¡°low-omega lighting, fire and dark¡± Matabi: ¡°mid-Omega light, wind and water¡± Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Kekki & Genkai: ¡°we are high-omega, fire, earth, water and dark¡± Himawari: ¡°low-omega and light attribute¡± Karin: ¡°l-low-d-delta with f-fire, wind, l-light, dark a-and lighting¡± While everyone was surprised at the number of attributes Karin had and her rank, Himawari has a sour face while looking away from everyone Kekkei: ¡°Now your turn Lanza¡± They all look at me with sparkling eyes Me: ¡°*sign* mid-beta and only fire attribute¡± Stunned at what I just stated Rodrigo stood up quickly while yelling Rodrigo: ¡°There is no way thats true. A single attribute can never get that strong. Don¡¯t lie to us Lanza¡± Me: ¡°Believe or not, It¡¯s the truth¡± Rodrigo: ¡°But that¡¯s not poss-¡± I cut him off Me: ¡°Everyone go to sleep. Tomorrow we will start your training¡± Doto: ¡°What is our training?¡± Me: ¡°You will find out tomorrow¡± Rodrigo: ¡°Hey don¡¯t ignore me¡± With that, they got up headed towards their tents ----Rodrigo POV---- Lanza just told that he only has 1 attribute and yet, he is so strong. How, it¡¯s not possible. I want the same strength as him. No matter what. I need to get stronger, for her. I promised her that I will While thinking about her, I fell asleep at the same time as everyone else. That¡¯s funny, I wasn¡¯t that sleepy *Zzzzz* *Zzzzz* *Zzzzz* *Zzzzz* *Zzzzz* *Zzzzz* *Zzzzz* It¡¯s cold, why. It¡¯s not supposed to be this cold in the forest. I slowly open my eyes Rodrigo: ¡°N-no way, why are we here¡± He turned his head to see that the other six were still sleeping soundlessly, without a care in the world. As he looked around, he realises where he is. It¡¯s on top of the steep hill in the resting area, in the middle of Gotham forest Rodrigo goes and wakes up the others and explains where they are Rodrigo: ¡°I can¡¯t believe that Lanza left us here¡± Kekkei: ¡°I¡¯m surprised that he moved us here without anyone waking up or noticing¡± Genkai: ¡°You¡¯re right¡± Matabi: ¡°Who cares about that. How the hell are we supposed to get down from here?¡± ???: ¡°CLIMB DOWN!¡± Doto: ¡°Did you guys hear that¡± Himawari: ¡°Hear what¡± Doto: ¡°It sounded like a person. Well never mind¡± Matabi: ¡°Our main problem is that we don¡¯t have any food or water. What should we do?¡± ???: ¡°I SAID CLIMB DOWN¡± Doto: ¡°There it was again¡± Kekkei: ¡°You¡¯re going crazy Doto¡± Rodrigo: ¡°If only we had some sticks or reeds lying around, than we could¡¯ve made a make shift ladder or rope¡± ???: ¡°GOD DAMNIT CLIMB DOWN YOU BASTARDS¡± ----Lanza POV---- Me: ¡°GOD DAMNIT CLIMB DOWN YOU BASTARDS¡± I¡¯m using fire flight to float above them without them noticing me. What the hell are they doing? This is going to be a long training session It took them 6 hours just to climb down. After they did, I told them to go back up and then come down again. And to keep doing it unless you are sleeping, eating or resting Just like that 3 days passed and everyone has physically improved by 0.0 something %. Well it better than nothing Me: ¡°Now time for the second part of this training¡± Rodrigo: ¡°*huff* no more *huff* please I *huff* wanna go home¡± Me: ¡°NO! Now stand up all of you. I¡¯m going to teach you something important¡± Doto: ¡°Impo*huff*important?¡± Me: ¡°Yeah. This one thing will determine your life in a fight. It¡¯s so important that you cannot become stronger without it¡± Kekkei: ¡°So *huff* Lanza what is it. *huff* some kind of technique, *huff* how to sense mana or *huff* is it how to fly¡± Me: ¡°Nope¡± Genkai: ¡°Then what is it?¡± Me: ¡°DODGE!¡± I sprint to Rodrigo and punch him in the face. I didn¡¯t use any mana and yet he still flew back quite a distances. Everyone is stunned at what I just did. I turn and face the rest while yelling Me: ¡°ALL OF YOU DOOODDDDDGGGGGGEEEEEEEE!¡± And I sprint towards them. And just like that, the one sided massacre, I mean training began and lasted for four days ---------- AN: Thank you for reading. Please Rate, Like and Comment CH13: Second Stage Beings It¡¯s been 2 weeks since the training ended. All 7 of them went up a rank or 2, which made them happy. It also made me feel proud, since I¡¯m the one who though them how to dodge, tho they are still working on it After the training concluded and we returned to the academy. Frantelle called me to his office and told me about the second stage All five of us will team up to face the five members of the opposing kingdoms. The second stage has a ladder system. The winner of the second stage from last year is automatically in the final round, while the other four kingdom face each other to go to the finals Another reason Frantelle had called me to his office was to ask me something. It was something along the lines of why I didn¡¯t train with the winners to improve our teamwork. Well its simple, expect Seira, I didn¡¯t like any of them and none of them liked me back, so even if I went for training, I would just be ignored ----day of departure---- It was mid-morning. I made my way to the front gate of the kingdom to wait for the other four to get here In 3 stylish and expensive carriages, pulled by four pure white horses each, and guarded by around 15 Knights. The carriages stopped right in front of me and out came Jinta Ide Ochi, Dettol Xperia, Seira Enno Lily and Rubix Enno Lily. That¡¯s weird, I don¡¯t see Shinji anywhere Asmodeus: ¡®Oi boya, should I amplify a curtain emotion for you? Hehehe¡¯ Me: ¡®Ohhh don¡¯t you dare¡¯ Seira: ¡°Good morning Lanza¡± Me: ¡°Ahh, good morning Seira and where is Shinji?¡± Seira: ¡°You see for some reason he can¡¯t come, so the academy chose my brother as a replacement¡± Ohh I see. He used his power as prince to get himself in. I wonder what his father is going to say about that Rubix: ¡°Lanza Del Relampago, I will one day beat the living daylights out of you¡± Me: ¡°In your dreams¡± Jinta: ¡°How dare a commoner talk to the prince like that. Why I outta --¡± Rubix rises his hand, indicating for Jinta to stop Rubix: ¡°You know, I¡¯m glad that you didn¡¯t come to the team training with us. Because in the end we won¡¯t even need you¡± He gave me an evil grin while heading back to the carriage he came out of, while the headmaster for the Noble Academy and Frantelle comes out of the 3rd carriage Headmaster: ¡°Good morning young one¡± The Headmaster was an old man in his late fifties. Long grey hair and long grey beard, walking stick and nothing really stands out about him Me: ¡°Good morning. And what are you doing here Frantelle¡± Frantelle: ¡°Well I¡¯ll be going as well hehe¡± Me: ¡°And what about the academy¡± Frantelle: ¡°You needn¡¯t worry about that Lanza¡± Headmaster: ¡°Come young one, you will be riding with us¡± Me: ¡°And what shall I call you?¡± Headmaster: ¡°Grand Theft-Auto is my name¡± I follow behind him, as he walks towards the carriage. I enter the carriage and we leave for Fanta Kingdom. The Fanta Kingdom is in the center of the continent and it takes a week to get there by horse, we will arrive a day before the second stage starts. They are of course the defending champions of the second stage. So defeating them on their home ground will make the victory that much more sweeter After a week of traveling, we finally arrived at our destination. During the week however, the knights, Theft-Auto, Frantelle and Seira were the only ones that spoke to me. I did make fun of Rubix right to his face and Theft-Auto and the knight just laughed it off There was a long line of carriages, horses, and people standing at the gate of Fanta Kingdom. We cut the line and went straight to the front. Theft-Auto and Frantelle stepped out of the carriage and talked with the guard near the gate. He let us go into the city The view was almost the same as Dorama kingdom. The streets are filled with merchant who are selling their goods. High-class Restaurants and store for clothes. We pass by a blacksmith and head towards a tall building. It is the Fanta kingdom stadium, we stopped near an inn which was close to the stadium. The other participants are also staying at this inn This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. We all exit our carriages and head inside. Theft-Auto and Frantelle talks to the receptionist and get our rooms ready Frantelle: ¡°Ok, Seira and Dettol will be in one and Rubix, Jinta and Lanza in another¡± Jinta: ¡°Why do we have to share our room with a commoner like him?¡± He was not happy as anger was clearly visible on his face Theft-Auto: ¡°Now now children, let¡¯s all get along¡± Jinta: ¡°But Headmaster h---¡± Theft-Auto: ¡°I said get along¡± He had a sinister smile and a cold glare. It was enough to send shivers down all our spines Beelzebub: ¡®Who does he think he is? Imma rip ur face faggot¡¯ Me: ¡®Calm down¡¯ Beelzebub: ¡®Shut yo mouth pig¡¯ Me: ¡®But I didn¡¯t even move my mouth¡¯ Beelzebub: ¡®I said shut it¡¯ The three of us didn¡¯t speak on the way to our room. Well more like they spoke to each other, but not with me. We arrived at our destination and Jinta opened the door using the key, what I saw was amazing. An extremely spaciously large and wide oval room, painted in a relaxing gold colour. Three large beds, all a fair distances form one another Jinta: ¡°This is amazing¡± Indeed it was. It was a room fit for a king. Maybe this was a way for them to show off their wealth to other kingdoms Rubix: ¡°I¡¯ve seen better¡± No one cares about you, so shut up Jinta: ¡°Prince Rubix, when will His majesty, the King arrive?¡± Rubix: ¡°Father will be here a few hours before the competition starts¡± The two were talking to each other. While I decided to just go to sleep. Tomorrow was a big day and I needed to be fully rested for it ----The Next Day---- Like the first stage, each kingdom had their own resting area. The announcer was on the field, giving a welcoming speech Announcer: ¡°Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for coming. Now let me introduce the kings and queens of the 5 kingdoms. Coke Pepsi, king of Fanta Kingdom. Lady Intel Core-I the VII, Queen of AMD Kingdom. Lord I-Phone the VI, king of Android kingdom. Lord Samsung Galaxy, king of Apple Kingdom. And lastly, Lord Majin Enno Lily, king of Dorama Kingdom¡± The hell is up with their name Announcer: ¡°But that is not all, today we have a very special guest joining us. She is Lady Lana Loki of Fanta Kingdom and the champion of the God of tricky, Gabriel¡± The crowd erupts into cheers and loud applauses rung through-out the stadium. The title of champion is almost equal to that of the king or queen, as they are the messengers of their respected gods. The champions are one of the strongest beings currently in this world, tho they can be defeated if one is strong enough, but no one dares to challenge them for they do not wish to become an enemy of god Beelzebub: ¡®A champion Eh, Imma rip her head off, then eat it. Maybe¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®You truly are a pig. But I¡¯ll help in ripping her head off¡¯ Me: ¡®¡­¡­¡¯ After the crowd settles down, the announcer once again opens his mouth to say Announcer: ¡°Now the first fight¡±
Android Kingdom vs Apple Kingdom
The fight was boring. Cause well they kindda sucked. All their movements were predictable and slow. I can beat all ten of them at once without even using the sins Announcer: ¡°The Winner is Android Kingdom¡± Announcer: ¡°Now of the second battle of the day¡±
Dorama Kingdom vs AMD Kingdom
The five of us leave the resting area and make our way to the field. Along the way Rubix tells me Rubix: ¡°Listen here commoner, we don¡¯t need you so you better stay out of the way¡± Seira: ¡°Brother!¡± Me: ¡°It¡¯s ok Seira¡± CH14: WHY SO SERIOUS!!! ---------- Announcer: ¡°Now for the second battle of the day Representing AMD kingdom, Radeon Geforce, Edward Jun, Evie Frye, Lucy Vidic and the leader of team AMD, Princess Rebecca Crane¡± Radeon¡¯s body is toned and well built. His short brown hair matches the colour of his eyes. He has dual daggers strapped to his back in a crossed position. In terms of height, he is the tallest in his team, at around 1.5m Evie looks to be like the carefree type, who does whatever they want. But appearances can be deceiving. Her green hair reaches all the way down to her shoulders. Those deep blue eyes look like they hold so much happiness. She also has a short dagger strapped to her waist Lucy is the shortest in the group, at 1.2m tall, her blue hair reaches down to her ears, and green eyes with a hint of cruelty in them. She does not have any visible weapons on herself Edward is the second tallest in the group, at 1.45m. Black hair and eyes. He¡¯s kinda thin and looks weak at first glance, but if you were to use magic sense, then you would know that he is the second strongest in that group, well in terms of magical capabilities anyway Princess Rebecca is a beauty, second only to Seira. Her fiery red hair, combined with her dazzling red eyes complement her magic attribute for fire. Making her the leader was the right choice, as she is definitely the strongest in that team. Her mana capacity is second, only to the champion of god, Lana You might be thinking how I knew that Edward is a mage and Rebecca has fire attribute and also about the mana capacity of the champion. Well that¡¯s simple, it¡¯s one of the magic Beelzebub taught me on the road, ¡®Magic sense¡¯. The concept is simple, I take pure mana from within my body and release it like a sonar. The sonar waves bounces off anything that has mana and returns back to me, with the location of the mana source and with the intensity indicating their mana capacity and also attributes, thus Lana has the largest mana pool, well it is still around 60% smaller then my own The enemy team doesn¡¯t look tense or nervous, more like they are way too relaxed. That means one of two things, first that they are over confident about their powers or they have a hidden trump card. But that doesn¡¯t matter, for you all have the misfortune of having me as an opponent Announcer: ¡°And from Dorama Kingdom we have Jinta Ide Ochi, Dettol Xperia, Lanza Del Relampago, Princess Seira Enno Lily and the team leader, Prince Rubix Enno Lily¡± Rubix: ¡°As I¡¯ve said before commoner. You will stand back and not interface in our fight¡± Rubix¡¯s statement was loud enough for the enemy team to hear With a sinister grin I say Me: ¡°By all means¡± And I backed away Announcer: ¡°BEGIN¡± ---------- In just a few minutes, these brats *Ahem* I mean my team mates got owned Asmodeus: ¡®Wow, I have never seen someone suck so much¡¯ Beelzebub: ¡®they are worse then pigs¡¯ Me: ¡®I¡¯m embarrassed to even be in the same team as them¡¯ The only ones left standing were the entire enemy team, Seria and I Seria is more of a support type so they didn¡¯t bother going for her, as for me, they thought I was weak since I¡¯m a commoner Radeon, Evie and Lucy were the one that beat Rubix, Jinta and Dettol. Rebecca and Edward didn¡¯t even lift a finger With only two of us left, the enemy turned their attention on us. Radeon ran towards Seria, with his dual daggers in hand, wanting to knock her out in one blow Seeing Radeon rushing at her, Seria froze still, not moving an inch, the evil grin Radeon gave was most probably the cause of this Radeon was now in attacking distance and Seria still did not move. As the back of Radeon¡¯s dagger was heading straight for Seria¡¯s head, I decided to step in. Using my speed I appeared right in the middle of Radeon and Seria, he was surprised to see me, taking advantage of that opening, I kicked him in the stomach, thus launching him 30m or so back, he finally stopped after hitting the wall and lost his consciousness Seeing me knocking their powerhouse out with one blow, shocked them all. Everyone in the stadium went silent Rebecca POV Announcer: ¡°BEGIN¡± Our team already had a plan prepared for this match. The plan was simple, go for the strongest first and then take out everyone else. We will leave the commoner for last as he won¡¯t be much of a threat A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. With a nod of my head, Radeon, Evie and Lucy owned three of the enemy in a few minutes. With that done, Radeon went straight of that princess. Our victory was certain, but then the most unexpected thing occurred Radeon, who is the strongest in terms of physical strength, was blown away by a weak little commoner Rebecca: ¡°H-how¡± Was the only thing I could think of. While lost in the train of my thoughts. That commoner made his way towards the fallen prince, he looked at the prince on the ground and said with disdain Lanza: ¡°That¡¯s the best position for you. Trash belongs on the ground¡± He was still facing the prince while I gave the signal to my team to attack that boy. They all used ranged magic attacks Edward: ¡°Water Dragon¡± Evie: ¡°Earth Spear¡± Lucy: ¡°Lighting Blade¡± They all fired their magic¡¯s at the same time. The attacks reached the boy in a few seconds and hit him directly Rebecca: ¡°Hehe, He didn¡¯t have time to dodge¡± That attack might have been a little too powerful. It left a cloud of dust where that boy was standing, I knew that it was enough to defeat him or at least kill him. The prince had flown backwards from the impact of that devastating attack. But as the dust was settling down, a voice echoed throughout the stadium ???: ¡°WHY SO SERIOUS!¡± Those three attacks combined would wipe out a mid-gamma magical beast without a problem. BUT WHY DID IT NOT WORK Rebecca: ¡°W-what h-how, that¡¯s not possible¡± When the dust finally settled down, I saw him. That smile, that sinister smile together with those lifeless and cold eyes, had sent a chill down my spine. I wasn¡¯t facing a human boy, but rather a demon in human flash Fear had gotten a hold of me, I was scared, never in my life have I ever experienced such fear The boy did not have a single scratch on him. His clothes were perfectly fine as well Just then devastating flames erupted from him and covered a 10 meter radius all around him. Those flames were indescribable, so intense and fierce, impenetrable and indestructible. If given the chance, it will leave nothing untouched and burn away the entire world. But such power, how is he able to control it I, the Princes of AMD kingdom and daughter to the king, youngest of my siblings, but none of them can compare to my greatness, to my power. But my flames pale in comparison to this¡­ this inferno He again opens his mouth to say Lanza: ¡°Whatever doesn¡¯t kill me, had better start running¡± Edward, Evei and Lucy reacted to those words and immediately ran behind me. They were all shaking uncontrollably He slowly started walking towards me. With each step he took, the fear in my heart increased. The closer he gets, the pressure of the flames increases. Lucy and Evie fell back on their butts and started to cry. Edward started yelling Edward: ¡°W-w-we s-s-surrender. P-p-ple-ase s-sa-ve u-us¡± No one is allowed to interfere until the match is over. Either the entire team gets defeated or everyone surrenders. I also have to say that we surrender. But because of those flames, I cannot even utter a single word His flames was only an inch away from me, when he stopped walking. The flames finally faded away and I could see his face clearly. He had that same sinister smile, the same lifeless and cold eyes Lanza: ¡°Give up or Die¡± Was all he said. It wasn¡¯t a threat, it was a statement, a choice. One or the other I broke down. I could not stop the tears. In a shaky voice I said Rebecca: ¡°I-I-I *hic* s-sur*hic*ren-der¡± Lana Loki POV Announcer: ¡°T-the winner is D-Dorama Kingdom¡± Those flames, that power. Why is a little boy able to wield such sinister flames and those cold eyes showed a hint of evil. He is about as strong as me, a champion of god, a being blessed with power. But for him, it¡¯s as if he is the definition of power ---------- AN: "Enjoy the chapter. If you like what you read then Comment, Follow and Rate. The next chapter should be out later tomorrow, no promises" CH14.5: A day with Liza ---------- It¡¯s been a month since Lanza and the other kids left the village for school. I was really worried about Lanza, but don¡¯t get me wrong, I wasn¡¯t worried about Lanza¡¯s well-being, more like I was worried that he might end up beating those noble brats up and get into trouble. But I hope that no one pisses him off I was making my way to the adventurer¡¯s guild when I met some people along the way and we greeted each other RandomGuy1: ¡°Fu*k you Liza¡± Liza: ¡°You too, nice weather we¡¯re having¡± RandomGuy1: ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s the best time to be a famer hahaha¡± After a little chitchat, I headed for the guild. After a couple of minutes and more talking to random people, I finally arrived at my destination. I walk through the front door and was greeted by the perverted James James: ¡°Fu*k you Liza. You looking beautiful as ever¡± He tried to place his hands on my lower back, but before he could, he was greeted with my best friends, Miss Right Fist Liza: ¡°Try doing that again and I will burn you alive. Hiii Videl how are you hehe¡± I went to greet my friend, Videl. She is also a guild healer like me and we work as a team of two. I spent the day healing wounded adventurers and physically abusing James. After my shift was over, I made my way back home. Once there, I cooked dinner and waited for Arrancar to come home. Once he was home I gave him dinner and verbally abused him until I went to bed 5 months went by in just a blink of an eye. My daily routine was the same. Head to work as a healer, abuse James and Arrancar, make dinner and go to bed. Life was boring. Noting exciting happened since Lanza left I again made my way to the guild. When I entered, I wasn¡¯t met with usual James in the morning, but a handsome youth was standing right in front of me. He seemed to be around the same age me, so in his mid-twenties. He wasn¡¯t built like every other guy, instead he was slim. His hair reached down to his shoulder and matched the colour of his deep golden eyes James came from behind the unknown man and approached me James: ¡°Liza, good that you are here. This is Mr Ezio Kenway, a minor noble from Fanta Kingdom¡± Minor noble? Here of all places Liza: ¡°Why is he here then¡­..not that I hate it¡± The last part was said in a low voice so no one heard it James: ¡°You see, he¡¯s here to open a restaurant¡± Liza: ¡°Why here of all places?¡± James: ¡°Why not. We may be commoners, but we¡¯re not poor. And the price of the meals Mr Ezio will make can be afforded by all in this village¡± Liza: ¡°But-¡± James cuts me off James: ¡°And also it will bring more publicity to the village. Not all villages have restaurants and so not many get to have deliciou meals¡± Liza: ¡°Ok I get it. But why do you want to open a restaurant here? Won¡¯t you make a bigger profit in the Kingdom?¡± Eizo: ¡°You see, I am tired of the noble life. Always having things handed to me since birth. I want a life were I can make my own living. A life were I can feel proud of my actions and the rewards I get from it¡± Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.Liza: ¡°Since you have had everything handed to you since birth, do you even know how to cook¡± Eizo: ¡°I would never do this if I couldn¡¯t cook¡± Liza: ¡°Fair enough¡± And thus, James, Ezio and I talked for a while about this topic Fast forward a month Ezio: ¡°Honey, order for table 2¡± Liza: ¡°Thanks sweetie, order up¡± In the past month, I spent a lot of time with Ezio. We both ended up having feeling for each other and he confessed to me two weeks ago. Since then, I have quit my job as a healer and now run the restaurant with Ezio The restaurant has been fruitful. James was right, it did bring a lot of publicity to the village. People from other villagers would come here, just for a meal But today I was annoyed. A group of brats had just walked in and ordered a shitload of stuff. Dashers. That¡¯s what they were, I heard about these type before. They order a large amount of food and after finishing it, they run Liza: ¡°Sweetie, those brats are gonna dine and dash¡± Ezio: ¡°Come on honey, they look like good people, they aren¡¯t going to run without paying. You have to look at the good in people¡± Ezio goes back to cooking while I eyed the brats, making sure that they don¡¯t run. Unexpectedly someone came behind me ???: ¡°Liza how¡¯s everything going¡± As I turned to see who it was Liza: ¡°Go away James¡± While I was busy with him, the brats had already made an escape. Not wanting to lose them, I ran out and went straight for Ezio¡¯s wagon and headed toward the direction of the brats After riding for a few minutes, I saw the brats. They were going east from west, while I was coming from the south. Before they could react to me *BAM* They flew a few meters back before landing on the ground. I got out of the wagon. One of the boys looked up to match my eyes and said Brat1: ¡°You hit us with your wagon¡± Liza: ¡°You hit my wagon with your bodies, there¡¯s a differences¡± Brat2: ¡°My body is going cold¡± Liza: ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s only shutting down. Look brats, my boyfriend believes in the good of people. Me, not so much. I don¡¯t want him to stop believing because of you brats¡± Brat1: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we will pay¡± Liza: ¡°Ohh you will do much more then that¡± Back at the restaurant Brat1: ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for running away without paying for our meals¡± Brat2: ¡°Yes. Really sorry *this lady is crazy*¡± The Brats apologized to Ezio, while I glared at them Ezio: ¡°Honey, did you have something to do with this¡± Liza: ¡°Why would I¡± I again glared at the brats Brat1: ¡°We will also work here for free to help you¡± Brat2: ¡°Yes, please let us help you for free *Otherwise the crazy lady will kill us*¡± And like that we got two new unpaid employees/slaves ---------- AN: "Enjoy the chapter.

My whole plan will be ruined because of that little monster¡± The man sitting on what seemed to be a throne, shouted at the 9 hooded figures, who were kneeling before him.

Who that very day, showcased a bit of his power to the world ----Lanza POV---- After the battle yesterday, I left the stadium and went straight for the inn that I was staying in as I didn¡¯t want anyone to bother me. It was already late afternoon, with nothing better to do, I mediated until night and then went to sleep. My mediation was interrupted by my so called teammates, but I just ignored them Walking up in the morning, I felt well rested and hungry. I made my way downstairs to grab a bite to eat. Today is a rest day and I will be spending it to train a bit and wonder around the city. After breakfast I head back to my room and wear a hooded jacket type thing and left the inn The sun was bright and not a single cloud could be seen. The streets were already busy with merchants selling their products, people buying groceries and some other stuff. I carefully walk in the crowd of people as to not bump into anyone As I am walking Beelzebub informs me that Beelzebub: ¡®Someone has been following you since you left the inn pig¡¯ I use magic sense and figure out who the stalker is Me: ¡®Well this is interesting¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®What are you gonna do boya¡¯ Beelzebub: ¡®Yea, what you gonna do pig¡¯ Me: ¡®Imma have some fun hehehehHAHAHAH¡¯ I walk to an empty alley, to confront my new found stalker. Stopping right in the middle and making sure that the stalker is close enough to hear what I¡¯m about to say ----Stalker POV---- I have been waiting outside the inn that brat Lanza is staying in, waiting for him to come out. I¡¯m going to follow him and make sure that he doesn¡¯t use that power of his for any evil purpose Morning came and the boy left the inn. I followed him making sure that no one can see or even feel my presences. As powerful as he is, he is still a child. But you can never be too careful He makes a left turn, right into the alleyway. He stops walking right after reaching the middle. Does he know that I am following him, no that¡¯s not possible. Suddenly a voice echoes within the alley, the voice belonged to the boy Lanza: ¡°Why have you been following me, Miss Stalker Champion¡± ----Lanza POV---- Lana: ¡°How did you know that I was following you?¡± A girl¡¯s honey-sweet voice came from behind me. I turned leisurely and there she was. Standing after me was the most beautiful girl I¡¯d ever seen. She wore a simple black cloak and her hood already off of her head. Her hair was long, wavy, and golden brown, falling brilliantly over her chest. Her face was milky white, with large dazzling chocolate brown eyes and kissable cherry lips. She was stunningly gorgeous, like a painting of a goddess brought to life. She looked me, dead in the eyes, waiting for me to reply I was stunned because of her beauty and was barely able to keep my cool Me: ¡°¡­..¡± What followed was a few seconds of awkward silence, as I stared at her and as she at me Lana: ¡°Umm¡­hello?¡± Lana was the first to break the silence with her sweet and gentle voice. Her beauty was outmatched everyone, even Seira Me: ¡°*blush* C-can I h-help you *blush*¡± My face was bright red and steam could was nearly visible on top of my head Lana: ¡°I¡¯ll ask again. How did you know that I was following you?¡± Her question made me feel a little agitated. I did not want to lie to this goddess nor can I tell her the truth so I asked Asmodeus for help Me: ¡®Asmodeus, please help me¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Kill her¡¯ Me: ¡®If you even dare to harm a hair on her head, then I WILL FU*KING KILL YOU BIT*H!¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®WoW. Look who grew a pair. Hehehe this¡¯ll be fun. How bout this. Make her yours¡¯ Me: ¡¯¡­..¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®Oi boya can you hear me¡¯ Me: ¡®How do we do that?¡¯ Asmodeus: ¡®It¡¯s simple. Here I¡¯ll tell you¡¯ As Asmodues was telling me what to do in my head, the champion and I kept staring at each other. Well more like I was the one staring at her and she was asking me questions that I won¡¯t be answering I smirked after Asmodues¡¯s explanation was completed. I extended my left arm towards Lana, making her cautious and taking a stance From the palm of my left head, comes out a light pink flame which shot directly towards lana. As the alley is narrow and her only way of dodging is to jump up, so instead of dodging she creates a light barrier to take the attack What she doesn¡¯t realise is that the pink flame is very unique, no barrier, shield or anything for that matter can stop it. Though if the opponents will or mind is stronger than the wielder, then the pink flames won¡¯t have any effect on them. Unfortunately for her, my mind is much stronger than hers As she fell under my ¡®lustful dream¡¯, I being my work. Since the ¡®Lustful Dream¡¯ is just a distraction for what I¡¯m really about to do, I make her see some happy and good stuff I link my mind with hers and using a vein, I travelled down to her heart and took a peak. According to Asmodues, the brain contains the logical desires, the things we think that we want or need. While the heart contains our true desires, our feelings and emotions. At her heart, I found the emotion for love and manipulated it to my will Basically I¡¯m forcefully made her fall in love with me ? Well actually, I implemented the idea of loving me, this way she still has her own free will and is not some over the top, creepy girlfriend The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. With that done I break my link to her and wait to see the results Lana opens her eyes and looks at me with a warm smile. So I ask her Me: ¡°Lana do you love me?¡± She tilts her head to the side a bit and has a confused look on her face and says Lana: ¡°You don¡¯t need to ask me that *giggle* I love you the most¡± YES IT WORKED HAHAHA. I have some badass powers and now the most beautiful women in the whole wide world as a lover. BEST DAY EV- Lana: ¡°You¡¯re the most amazing little brother ever¡± *SHATTER* *LIGHTING* *SHATTER* Me: ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± That was the sound of shock and my heart breaking at the same time. I could not stop a tear form escaping my eye Me: ¡°y u do dis¡± Lana, upon seeing my crying in front of her, came to embrace me. While patting my head she said Lana: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, big sister will always protect you¡± That just made it worse Me: ¡°wouaaa wouaaa wu wu wouaaaaaaaaaa¡± I cried for a solid hour before coming to terms with what had just happened. Lana calling me brother made me sad, but the worst thing to happen today was that she saw my uncool and weak side. I just wanna die again Well we talked until the sun had set. She told me about her life and how she became a champion and I told her about everything about myself, well excluding thing like the sins, death and reincarnation As night came, I was going to head back to the inn and prepare for tomorrow¡¯s match. Lana insisted to walk be back saying that it¡¯s not safe for someone my age and it¡¯s her elder sister responsibility to make sure that I¡¯m safe. Bit*h, I¡¯m stronger and older then you. After making her understand that that I don¡¯t need protection, we parted outside the alleyway and I went back to the inn When I arrived at the inn, I made my way to my room. Inside was everyone from my team, Frantelle and Theft-Auto. It seems that they are making a game plan for tomorrow. Frantelle gestures for me to sit, so I do and he says Frantelle: ¡°I don¡¯t think we need to worry about tomorrow. Just let Lanza handle everything¡± Of course he was boosting. That comment made both Jinta and Rubix irritated. Dettol retorts with Dettol: ¡°We came here as a team and we will also win as a team¡± Looks like her attitude towards me became a lot more positive. Seira is also nodding her head while beam, agreeing with Dettol Me: ¡°I agree. It¡¯ll be best to fight as a team¡± Rubix retorts Rubix: ¡°What team?! You let us get our asses handed to us before intervening. You just wanted the glory all to yourself¡± Me: ¡°Wasn¡¯t it you who said to not interfere¡± His anger transforms into rage and starts to gather water mana in both his palms. Theft-Auto stopped Rubix before he did anything foolish Me: ¡°How bout this Rubix. As team leader you shall come up with a plan for tomorrow and I will follow it ok¡± Rubix: ¡°Fine!¡± After discussing the plan. Everyone went to their own rooms, only leaving me and Jinta as we shared the room. He didn¡¯t say anything and went to sleep. I once again felt Lana¡¯s presence before falling asleep ----Assassin POV---- We are the elite assassins of Fanta Kingdom. Every assassination that we have carried out was made to look like an accident and this one will be no different. I am the leader of this group, under me are 6 highly trained individuals We make our way quietly to the inn were our target, Lanza Del Relampago will be at. If he is asleep then things will be a whole lot easier Leader: ¡°We are almost there¡± After 10 minutes we were outside the inn ready to go in but our way was blocked by an unexpected individual ----Lana POV---- After we parted ways, Lanza went back to the inn he was staying at. I wanted to take him there myself, but he insisted on going alone But for some reason, I am worried. My heart tells me that Lanza might be in danger, so I need to protect him I arrived at the inn his in and wait outside. Knowing Lanza, he probably has already noticed me here. Around mid-night, I felt the presence of 7 individuals that emitted blood thirst. So I confronted them by blocking their paths They all dressed the same so it was hard to tell them apart. All their clothing were coloured black and their bodies almost blended it selves with the darkness of the night Lana: ¡°Who are you? Identify yourselves¡± I said quietly, trying to not wake anybody up, but they all remained quite The man in front nodded his head and the rest spread out and surrounded me I also activated my light barrier and had summoned my holy sword. As a champion of god, I have a natural affinity to light attribute and was bestowed the holy sword by god whom I serve ¡®Gabriel¡¯ They all charged at me from all directions, but their attacks were stopped thanks to my light barrier. I lifted my holy sword and activated a special magic spell that it has Lana: ¡°Light Fall¡± It¡¯s a ranged attack that involves kicking off the ground with full force and then stabbing the holy sword into the ground, shooting out light beams in all direction That killed 5 of the enemy. Seeing their fallen comrades, the remaining 2 began to retreat Lana: ¡°I¡¯m not going to let any of you go¡± I chase after them with half speed. These guys are slow. I stabbed 1 of them in the heart from the back. Seeing his last comrade die, he finally opens his mouth Leader: ¡°You will not get away with this¡± Ohh, he¡¯s angry. Well it¡¯s your fault for going after my little brother Lana: ¡°I¡¯m so sorry¡­¡­but¡­¡­die¡± Catching him off guard, I swung the holy sword vertically, beheading the poor guy Lana: ¡°Now that little brother is no longer in danger, I can sleep soundly tonight ?Why you gotta be so rude? ?Don¡¯t you know I¡¯m human too?¡± ---------- Author: "Enjoy the chapter.

And by ¡®stopped¡¯ I mean forever silenced Today is the second day of the competition, so we team Dorama make our way to the arena for our match Both AMD and Apple kingdoms got eliminated the day before yesterday. So only Dorama, Android and Fanta kingdoms remain. Since Fanta kingdom are the defending champions of the second stage from the previous years, today we will face against Android kingdom and after beating them, we will face Fanta kingdom the day after tomorrow The arena is more packed today than it was 2 days ago. Maybe the people wanted to see the rumoured genius from Dorama that had beaten the entire AMD team by his lonesome. Well such a thing will not happen today as we will be working as a team. We will be following the plan made by Rubix The plan is simple Jinta, Dettol and I will take the front and confront the enemy head on, each of us will deal with one opponent and once we beat them, we will go and help one of the other two, all the while Rubix and Seira will fire long distance magic to keep the remaining two from approaching us The Announcer introduced each member of team Android as they made their way onto the arena. Loud cheers were heard as the people grew more excited for the upcoming match. Some already started betting with their friends and others around them We being to make our way to the stage while the announcer starts to introduce us one by one Announcer: ¡°And representing Dorama Kingdom, Jinta Ide Ochi, Dettol Xperia, Princess Seira Enno Lily, Prince Rubix Enno Lily and dear guests the only commoner in the entire second stage, ¡®The raging flame¡¯, ¡®The Inferno¡¯, ladies and gentleman I present to you all LANZA DEL RELAMPAGGOOOO!!!!¡± *LOUD CHEERING* ¡°LANZA! LANZA! LANZA!¡± ¡®The raging flame¡¯¡­¡­ ¡®The inferno¡¯¡­.. dafuq Why the hell am I being introduced in such a manner and who the hell came up with those shitty names As soon as the announcer finished, the cheering became even louder. You could almost feel the entire arena shaking. Do these people want me to solo the entirety of team android by myself? Well I do feel kinda bad for disappointing them but it ain''t happening I look at where the VIP¡¯s are sitting. There are the 4 kings and a single queen with 2 personal bodyguards each and my new elder sister Lana. They all seem to be discussing something in a very serious manner ---------- Lana POV As soon as the announcer introduced the Lanza, the expression on everyone¡¯s face became ashen, well everyone¡¯s expect mine and King Majin¡¯s King Coke: ¡°Lord Majin, where did you find such an outstanding child?¡± I have to agree with him. Lanza is just amazing in every single way possible Queen Intel: ¡°Well I wouldn¡¯t say ¡®outstanding¡¯ Lord Coke. The only reason he won was because my daughter was caught off guard¡± What do you mean Intel. Your good-for-nothing trash piece of sh*t daughter lost because she is a lil bit*h just like her mother. You better shut the fu*k up you or imma sew yo mouth shut King I-Phone: ¡°And may I ask how Lady Intel. He did not so much as even touch a single hair on your daughter¡¯s pretty little head and yet she was the one to forfeit the match. Seems to me that she is the inferior one¡± Atta boy, you tell her like how it is Queen Intel: ¡°HOW DARE YOU!! To speak to me like that¡­. Why I outta ¡­..¡± Come at me bit*h, I¡¯ll hook ya King Samsung: ¡°Now now, let us all clam down. It is unfitting for lords such as ourselves to behaviour like immature little children. And you have been quite this whole time Lord Majin. Please do tell, where on Narth did you find such talent. Not to mentation that has only used fire attribute thus far. I wonder how many more surprise does he have left in store for us¡± Well my little brother is just too amazing and far too strong. Those little brats are way outta his league This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. King Majin: ¡°Well lord Samsung & lord Coke, to answer your question, I will simply say this. Even I do not know the full extent of that child¡¯s abilities¡± No sh*t Sherlock. Even I don¡¯t have a clear understanding of his strength. What make you think that an old fart like yourself will know anything King Coke: ¡°S-such a thing, lord Majin must be joking. To not even know the full capabilities of someone of your own kingdom is just¡­. Just unheard of¡± What¡¯s so surprising about that? You all have someone with immense strength within your own kingdoms. And you all are not even aware of their existence. Just this morning Lord Coke, you walked past a beggar while looking at him with distain, without even knowing that even I cannot hold a candle against him. If not for the blessing I received from my lord Gabriel, even I wouldn¡¯t know of such beings that are hiding among us, as a commoner, a beggar, a merchant, a bodyguard¡­.. King Majin: ¡°It is true, whether you chose to believe me or not is entirely up to you¡± None of them asked for my opinion and I wouldn¡¯t have given it to them even if they did. Old timers these day, no respect for the young ---------- Lanza POV The match began and ended just like planned. Truth be told, it was far too disappointing, well I wasn¡¯t expecting much in the first place. But come on, really, you lot are the best of the best of the younger generation from your kingdom and this is all you amount to. I can beat all 5 of you with both hands tied behind my back Seems like the crowd was also displeased with androids performance, but then again, they were better than apple After the match we all returned to the inn and discussed our next play. Dettol¡¯s attitude towards me improved quite a bit, Jinta and Rubix, not so much As we were talking amongst ourselves, the door to the room opened the 3 figures walked in. The first one to enter was King Majin with Grand Theft-Auto and Frantelle Takeo following behind him King Majin: ¡°You 5 have made me very proud. Rubix my son, can you tell me why you won?¡± Rubix: ¡°It is because we are better than them and they are nothing more than trash¡± Idiot¡­. The king¡¯s expression did not change what so ever. It was as if he was expecting such an answer from this dim-wit King Majin: ¡°Seira my dear, tell me why is it that you won todays match?¡± Seira took a step forward and did a slight bow towards her father before speaking Seira: ¡°The reason we won todays match father, was because we all worked together as a team¡± That¡¯s my girls. I wonder how well will her chest develop in the future? King Majin: ¡°Yes that is correct. Remember you are all stronger as a team, we are stronger as a kingdom. United we stand and divided we fall. Lanza, I wish to speak with you in private, follow me¡± Lanza: ¡°Yes¡± And thus I walked out with the king and into his room He sat on a chair and gestured me to sit as well. A maid came in with and placed it atop the table that is between me the king. Taking a sip, he spoke King Majin: ¡°My daughter reminds me a lot of my late wife. Gentle and kind, regardless of what their social status was, whether they were a noble or a street beggar she treated them all the same, kindly. Whereas my son took after my father, prideful and arrogant thinking that everyone is beneath him. That attitude of his is just too much That is why I called you here Lanza. I wish to ask you a favour¡± A favour huh. Soundings interesting, but I can already guess what it¡¯s going to be. My blank expression turns into a wicked grin ---------- I am sorry for not updating anything for so long. But I am back now and will continue to write this story until it is finished.
