《Cheat Hero》 Prologue- Farewell "Hahaha!! Is this all you got?!" A male youth around 17 years old is standing surrounded by tens of hooded figures. Beneath the night sky his pale skin shined because of the moonlight. His jet black hair swayed in the air, as he gazed towards the figures they can''t help but shiver and be paled with the pressure and coldness which he emmited. His sky blue eyes was perfectly matched with his female like face. He was wearing dark blue cloth armor with black outline.In his right hand was a black katana with red colored runelike patterns on its blade, seeing his demeanor it will make one feel like they are looking to death himself. all of the hooded figures charged towards him. As he saw them charging towards him he raised his left hand and pointed it towards them One by one the hooded figures crash into the ground they felt their body sudeenly became heavy making them unable to move . Some of them tried to resist but their efforts ended in futile, the youth walked leisurely towards them and with his sword he started to slaughter them one by one. Some of them tried to beg for their lives but their begging were useless to him, they tried to kill him so he will kill them.Some were stabbed in the heart others were decapitated. "Ahhh... It''s been 17 years since I came to this world" He muttered He was from this world yet also not, reminisced the past events which changed his life.. --------------------- ''''Hahahahah die you bastards" In a poorly litted room a black haired man around 26 years old shouted those words, if someone from the other side of the room hear this sentence one will think a murder is currently happening. But this man is not currently fighting nor killing someone, he was shouting those words in front of a computer while heavily tapping his keyboard. "heh.. Not bad, but you''re still weak" Currently he was playing [Legend online] The number 1 MMORPG. In just 2 years after the game''s release millions of players were drawn to it worldwide, the reason to this was quality and detail of the game. There were almost 50 kinds of races to choose from with also hundreds of classes and jobs to develop. Out of the million of players there were 7 players whom the almost everyone admired. This 7 were known as [The Deus], which was composed of : Human Elves Demon Angeloid Titan Fiend Dragonoid Each of them reached the maximum level and skills of their own class. Currently the man was one the Deus the Human one. He was the 2nd to be called a Deus. the Deus doesn''t have a ranking amongst them for they are all equal even with their different classes. His class was a Sword God its was the final and hidden class from of his first class the Swordsman which rank up to Swordmaster and to Swordsaint and last the final Sword God which was a unique class which is given to the player with the highest agility and strength and to one who defeated a million of swords type class players in a duel.or PKing.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. And currently He was being challenged by hundred of players and because it was annoying and he wanted to finish it quickly he told to them to come to him and attack using the PK mode. They thought they could kill him being they had the advantage in numbers but what happen next was contrary to their expectations He was killing them one by one and with a single strike only! Others seeing they were being killed one by one knew that his title wasn''t a joke and can''t helped to resemble him as Killing god. The man wasn''t afraid of being killed after all being a Deus, one of his equipments was Omni-tier, the highest class among items, and cannot be dropped unless they were challenged for its ownership. he has the [Eyes of Eve] this item as its name states turns your eyes into the eyes of God. It allows the player to know the status of the targeted, its health, mana, skills, level, stats and weakness. It also renders any concealment or any false information futile or useless but the most frightening about this item is its unique skill [Grand Illusion] which makes the enemy miss 50% of its attack. ''Ahhhh. All done'' he thought to himself Suddenly his phone rang "Hon, where are you?" it was his fianc¨¦e. "Im still in the house. Why?" "Well.. I have something important to tell you so can we meet?" She asked "Ok. I''ll be there in 30 minutes see ya!" he disconnected and dressed. A few minutes later, He arrived at his destination at a playground, currently it''s almost evening so there were no children nor parents in there and saw his fianc¨¦e, It was a charming woman with long black hair and charming face. To them this playground was important to them for this is the place where he proposed "Hon, did you wait long?" he asked to her. "hmm" she shook her head "So what did you want to tell me?" he asked. ".........I''m pregnant" she said. His jaw dropped after hearing this, the only thing he could do was hug and kiss her. A few minutes they decided to celebrate and head to a restaurant. As they were on the way, they can''t helped but to be happy. They met in their job the man was a programmer while the woman was a receptionist, it''s like they were in love at first sight and after a few months after they met they started dating, which last for 5 years until the man proposed. While they were walking on the streets, the man saw a some motorbikes being chased by the police. He saw they have guns and firing to all directions seeing his fianc¨¦e he protected her by hugging her and covering her using himself. He felt a sharp pain from different locations on his back he knew he was shot, but felt relieved as he protected his beloved, he fell to the ground and saw his beloved crying "NO!! Hon don''t leave me,pls..Pls!" she cried. "I LOVE YOU! Take care of our child. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH" He said to her in a weak voice. Then his consciousness drift off. Chapter 1 - Rewards When I woke up, my eyes felt fuzzy. I glance to the side and saw a white hair child with green eyes, well the child looks like a girl but he/she gives off male kind of vibes "Yo! Awake?" the child said. "Yeah.. Who are you?" I said but I can''t move nor feel my body at all. " Me? I''m a god" Ehhh? He/She''s a god? "According to what you said you''re a god? It means there are other gods out there." well I believe that he/she is a god after all if he/she is lying I''ll find myself lying ina hospital room and not in a NEET''s room but I''m somewhat astonished that there are many gods and not just one. "Yup! To be specific I''m Lan the god of games and Im only one of the thousands pf god out there.." "I have a question first, are you a boy or a girl?" I asked. "Me I''m a boy" he said "By the way where am I? Am I in hell or what?" "Well I decided to reward you, naturally all souls will reincarnated at some time but the process for reincarnating will sometime takes thousands of years, you are lucky if you were reborn within a hundred years, well in short I''m giving you a chance to be reborn at my world by the way you won''t need to wait for a long time " he said. "Ehh me?" I was shocked that I was being rewarded but I can''t helped but wonder to myself what did I did to be rewarded so I decided to ask him "But why am I being rewarded?" "Well you play [Legend] right? You defeated me in a duel in there so I decided to reward you for defeating by the way you are the first to defeat me" I was dumbfounded that the reason why am I being rewarded was because of game, but it also made me felt happy after all I defeated a god even if its a game but I wonder what is the name of his player after all almost thousand of players challenged and dueled with me so I asked him. "....Lan? Can I know your name in the game..?" "Mine? Its Dragneel. Why?" He said Well I wasn''t surprised that much after all the strongest opponent I fought was Dragneel. So I already had my suspicions regarding his character,while I was thinking this Lan spoke to me. "Nothing." "Well I challenged you to a duel, 3 rounds. By the way on each round you win I''ll gice you a reward so try to win all three rounds" He said to me while snapping his fingers then 2 computers appeares out of nowhere. I can''t helped but sigh to his powers" we sat down and connected to the game and went to the forest for that is the location for our duel. After arriving I can see a dragonoid, 2 arms and legs with dark blue scales with a hint of black, a tail with a spike at the end and two straight horns on the head after seeing me arrived, he sent a duel request to me and accepted it. Then a countdown started "5" I went to my position "4"readied my skills "3" I also readied my two swords on my hands with another sword on my back "2" I saw Dragneel readied his weapon a black spear then... "1, START!" I activated one of my 3 buff skills [Absolute Blade] this increases my attack for 30%. Dragneel sprang out towards me at high speed to parry I activated [Meteor slash] which clash towards the enemy with the power of a meteor falling, after I parried his attack Dragneel. I use [Retribution], it allows me to dash towarss the enemy in an instant, and successfully landed an attack, using my omni-tier item, [Eyes of eve], I check his remaining health an only 15% was reduced. By the way during my attack he also countered and reduced almost 12% of my HP. After a few exchange both of us only have 5% health remaining, I activated [God''s judgement] thousand of swords appeared above Dragneel, then a few milliseconds the swords strikes towards him, this was an unblockable skill I was sure that he will die but what happen made me astonished for he also activated a skill, but it was too late a huge black spear appeared above me piercing me, there only a few centimeters so it''s too late to dodge. Both of us died at the same time resulting to draw thus the first round ended. At the 2nd round both of us were at a stalemate until we reached 50% he activated his 30 hits combo resulting in insta-killing me. Then the last round After reaching 70% I activated [God''s Judgement] reducing his life by 30% seeing his life he activated a skill but before it was activated, I also activated my 30 hits combo. I threw my 3 swords around him in triangular manner. If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Then using those swords I blinked towards the swords and use it to slash it to him, this comvo is one of the strongest, for one will not know on what sword I will blinked on. That happen for 30 time resulting in instakilling him, thus the result was 1 win, 1 lose and 1 draw. After that we disconnected and Lan spoke to me "Hahaha! You defeated me once and the other one ended in a draw. So I will grant you a reward. Because the first round is a draw it will only be a half, So you will be reborn as your character but you will be a baby and your powers will be sealed, as you get stronger you can unlock its power! So goodluck getting stronger, by the way you''re items aren''t included but if you unlock atleast 50% of your power I''ll give you your [Eyes of eve] consider it as a gift" ehhh why [EoE]? "Then the next one I will grant you one wish state it" Well I already have a cheat power, and I can accept on where I will be born, my only regret I wasn''t able to bid a proper farewell to my fianc¨¦e. "Can I meet with my fianc¨¦e one last time? I want to say something to her before I will be reborn" I said to him "Ahh, that''s a little hard you know after all, I don''t govern your world but I think with my powers it''s possible if its only for only 20 seconds ok so try your best convey it as fast as possible by the she will not see you but she will feel you and hear you" I was happy after knowing I can talk to her at least 20 seconds then I found myself in a room, it was my former room, I saw my computer can''t I bring that with me, then I saw a woman crying in my bed it was my fianc¨¦e I decided to speak. "Hon" After hearing my voice she stand and look for me but as a soul she can''t see "Where are you" she said while crying. I went beside her and said "I''m here beside you, I can only speak to you and you can''t see me, I only have a few seconds left, I want to say I love you and our child, please take care of yourself and our child, try your best to live and find some to love again" after saying those words I kissed his forehead and I can see his body tremble slightly she was crying while saying "I love you" while nodding, it makes my heart aches seeing her crying. I found myself again in Lan''s room ,he was playing a game console again then he spoked to me. "Have you already said what you want to her?" I just nodded. "Then I''ll send you now" "wait I have something to ask, can I have a chande to become a god?" I asked, then he suddenly laugh lime he heard the funniest joke ever but being laughed like that it makes me feel anjoyed then he spoke. "Hahha. We gods aren''t former humans nor mortals, we are incarnation of your beliefs. For example hundreds of years ago in europe, they created they created their own gods, thus the greek gods were born, because of thag zeus, hades etc were born and like in japan, there is also Izanami, amaterasu so on. So you mortals don''t have the chance to be a god but if you reaches a certain strength you can be immortal,on how to become one you need to find it out by yourself. Ahh you are becoming annoying I''ll send you now" he said With that my consciousness fades. -------------------------------- I woke up with my eyes feeling uncomfortable. It looks like I was reincarnated huh. I saw 2 figures looking at me with me being born my eyes were still undeveloped so I can only see blurs, but judging on their physique one is a man and the other is a woman. I can feel my hands and feet yet I can''t move them "XXXXXXX-XXXX" the female figure suddenly spoke, what the heck is that language it''s not even English "XXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XX" The other figured replied. It like they are talking about me. I can''t see their expressions but judging on their voice they are anxious about something.... I tried to figure out the reason why they are anxious but only one thing came to my mind, I didn''t cry. I remember the reincarnation novels I heard where the parents were worried why their child isn''t crying. "Uwaaaa...uwaaa!" I imitated a crying infant, I think I did a good job, but why do I feel like I was an animal crying. They spoked again but why does it feel it made them more anxious while thinking this drowsiness striked me and I fell asleep.
Ahh. By the way, do you prefer this kind of narration or the 3rd person narrative? And I need your review fro me to know on how will i improve it. Chapter 2 It''s been 5 months since I was born and I am now able to crawl, I learned that my name is Hakua and I still can''t understand the language except for some super basic words. My eyes were not yet fully developed, but compared when I was born I can see much clearer. The 2 figures I saw during my birth was apparently my parents, and right now I am being carried by a beautiful woman maybe around 20 years old which clearly younger than me. It was my mother, seeing her beautiful face matching with her perfect body I can''t helped but be mesmerized, my father sure is a lucky one. About my father I only see him maybe once a week sometimes twice, the first time I saw his face clearly was when I was a month''s old, after all my eyes were still not fully developed. He was wearing a long blue robe, his face resembles a girl, overall his appearance is so fragile that wih just a flick of a finger he will break, but still the aura he gives off makes you feel that he should not be underestimated. Going back, I am currently in my mother''s arms and being strolled around the house which is a mansion. I think my parents were rich or something. As we were strolling I can hear my mother speak some words like explaining the place in the housebut I still can''t understand the language. I just tilted my head and showed a confused expression. The mansion sure is huge, but the place I wanted to go is the study which was full of books, well I''m not the studious type but I need some information regarding this world but there is still a proglem which is the language I can''t speak, understand nor read. I spend my days with the usual routine which is waking up, eat, stroll,eat, sleep. Without me noticing it''s been two years since I was born, I can understand the language but there some words I still do not know, I think it''ll take me another year to fully comprehend the language. I tried to use my powers but it''s still sealed I wonder how can I unlock it? Why didn''t he gave me clue, just liitle clue won''t hurt why? One thing I learned during the past few months were my parents name, my mother is Cella Auburn and my father is Rolant Auburn. Apparently they- I mean we are nobles. I can''t helped but recall my old world where rich people are considered as some kind of nobles. After all nobles were new to me, I mean there are no nobilityin Earth. When I was learning the language my mother helped me by reading me some kind of book, and when I mispronounced some words she corrected it and explaining it to me, and to my father, he gave me permission to use the study room and read the books in there. At first he was reluctant but in the end he gave in. The first thing I research about is about this world geography, according to the book. The world only has 1 continent which is Pragia which is divided into 3 parts, which is Central part being the biggest and Eastern and Western part having the same size. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. The Eastern is inhabited by mostly demons and the beast race while the Western js inhabited by Mostly humans and elves. Surrounding the continent is vast amounts of sea water. Currently Im in the small kingdom of Arcand, specifically the capital. Well the continent is as big as the 7 continents of Earth and there are still many places unexplored. So the information in the books were limited so there I just learned a few places. I spent almost a week reading and learning about this book. Then next I read is World history, According to the book, The world is created by the god Lan, which is the god of Creation and Destruction as well as the god of order and chaos. God created the world in equal that''s why he only created one continent to signify unity. He creates the races equally and taught them on how to build, create and procure needs. Then he went to slumber after creating the world I remembered Lan and his image to me, I laughed after all they said he slumbered but he''s just lazy to do things and shut himself to play games, wait it means He became a shut-in almost million of years ago? The fuck! While I was reading in the study a maid came by and said." Young master, Madamme Cella and Master Rolant is asking for you in the living room" I nodded and went to the living room, I saw my mother talking to father about something, seeing me they stopped their conversation and smiled towards me. The first one who spoke is my mother. "Dear come, seat here beside me." I followed her and went beside her and father spoke to me. "Son you''re already 2, next year you''ll be test using the magus assessment test, to know your talent in magic and mana capacity" He said "Okay" I knew about the existence of magic and the magus assessment, but what I don''t understand is why is their saying this to me early? Well i decided to keep that to myself " Good! by the way we''ll be travelling for a week to meet our relatives. You haven''t saw them once right? Well they are in another kingdom. We''ll leave the day after tommorow." I saw my mother expression turns grim, when father was talking about our relatives. Does she have bad relationship with them? Well I''ll try asking her later. That night ask her if she has bad relationship with them but she just answered me with a smile and said "Sweetie youre still young to understand p, when the time comes you''ll know about it, so don''t think about it to much." she said with her sweetest smile. With that she sang me a lullaby, her voice made me yawn until I fell asleep Chapter 3- Truth and Revelation Hello. I have some notes regarding the story Sentences or words enclosed in apostrophe ( '' ) tells what is the MC is thinking And I''ll use the 3rd person narration from now on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- As Hakua wokes up, he found himself in his room. He wasn''t surprised that much for everytime he fell asleep his mother would always carry him ang bring him in his room. A short while after he woke, a female maid knock and entered the room, seeing Hakua who was getting dressed, her face became pale and went towards him. "Young master, what are you doing?" she said with her trembling voice. "Well, I wake up and you''re not yet here so I went to dreesed myself and here you are, you''ve arrived. Why?" "I''m so sorry for being late young master, please punish this unworthy servant" she said while bowing deeply "There''s no need for punishment, I know you have some other things to do and that''s why you''ve arrived late." "Thank you for your benevolence, young master" she said with a disappointed tone, and went to helped Hakua in getting dressed. ''ehhh, don''t tell me she''s a masochist!'' he thought to himself, after getting dressed he went towards the courtyard, He saw his mother sitting in the table. Seeing his mother he went and greeted his mother. "Good morning mother." he greeted "Ahh you''re awake Hakua, come sit beside me and eat." She was thinking about tomorrow''s departure and her past which made her show a pained expression as she was thinking, he was greeted by his son Hakua. Seeing Hakua refreshed, cute face. Her previous pained expression was replaced by happiness towards his son which she considered as a blessing. While eating Hakua asked his mother tpwards his father. "Mother, why does father always not around?" "Well, your father is the family''s heir, so he was always in the capital fulfilling his duties to the family. That''s why tommorrow we will depart and head towards the capital to meet with your relatives." She replied She knew that at some time his son will start to ask regarding his family and she still had a secret in which only his son doesn''t know and she didn''t want him to know but Hakua''s next question made her fears come true. "Mother just now you''ve said "your" relatives, why didn''t you say "our relatives? And why are we meeting them now?" He asked him, he was also confused regarding his parents background. He wanted to know why did his mother showed a pained expression everytime they talk about the family, then his mother spoke and abain with a pained expression. "Hakua, I think it''s time you know the truth, than to know it from others even though you''re still a child I know you''ll understand. I told you a while ago that your father is the family''s heir, but not an ordinary family. It is one of the Western part, 10 great families." "10 great families?" It was the first time he heard regarding the 8 great families after all. It wasn''t written on the books he had read "Yes. The West is ruled by the 10 great families, half of the families are humans, while the other half are elves. Each of the families are strong and powerful on their own, and one of them is the Auburn family, which excels on magic specifically offensive magic. That''s why being one of the Great families, they need to fulfill their duties, and one of them is marriage. Hakua, I''m just your father''s 2nd wife, we are not the main family, that''s why your father rarely comes home." then she started to cry while speaking. "I was a commoner almost before you were almost 4 years ago, a few months before you were born. My village was attacked by bandits, my parents and 2 siblings were killed, only I escaped while escapjng your father saw me full of wounds and bruises and unconscious and brouht me to his house which is here and cured me. After I woke up He asked about what happened and I told him regarding the village, with that your father offered me a job about being a maid and with me having no place to go I accepted, that time your father was always visiting and with that our feelings grew and fell in love with each other. Then your he decided to marry me but his family was against it, then he learned that they already arranged his marriage with one of the 10 great families. He wanted to refuse but he was still weak at that time, then his family wanted to kill me but your father threatened them, that he kill them if something happened to me. They compromised and let me marry him but only as concubine but I''m happy that he fought for me and being with him! I''m sorry not telling you this." she said while crying. Seeing his mother cry his heart ached, he wasn''t mad about being a mistress son, he was sad seeing his mother cry, then he spoke with a childish yet comforting tone. "Mother, I understand so please don''t cry, I know why you didn''t tell me." Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Hearing her son she felt relieved, she knew that his son was no ordinary one starting from the day he was born, that day when he was born. After all when they saw that their child didn''t cried they were anxious and worried but after a while he cried like he understand that they were worried about him not crying. And when he learned to read, he spent his time reading books which is abnormal for childs should be playing while he was reading. "Thank you" that was the only word that can express her happines towards to his son. After eating He went to back to his room and laid down on his bed with his face facing the ceiling, he was thinking about the conversation he had with mother earlier. He was surprised at first but seeing his mother cry He now knew why his mother showed a pained expression, after all mentally he was already in his late 20''s, her mother was insulted and suffered humiliation. And the reason why she didn''t tell him about that for she didn''t wanted him to hold grudge to his family. ''I need to get stronger, I need to be powerful so they will not insult my mother again'' he thought to himself suddenly within his forehand a black incomplete mark started to appear that resembles a sword for it was still blurred. '' Ehh? Where did this mark came from?'' he wondered, as he saw the mark,he knew that this mark was not here before while thinking this, his consciousness started to drift and fades. "Ughh" he woke up seeing himself in a familiar room then a shkldiah voice spoke. "Yo! Awake?" It was Lan. ''deja vu?'' was the first thing that came to his mind. "I thought you said we won''t meet again? Why am I here again did I die?" He said to him in a somewhat annoyed voice. "Ehhh? Did I said that, I dont remember, well don''t sweat the small details" Lan said while denying but from his expression it was obvious that he was lying "So why am I here again?" He said "Well, I wanted to congratulate you, for unlocking your power" Lan said "Is it connected to the mark that appeared on my hand?" He asked to Lan. "Well yeah" Lan said in a sarcastic tone "So how?I don''t remember I''ve done anything to unlock my powers." He said. "Okay I''ll tell you the reason even though it''s not my obligation. The moment you made your resolve on becoming stronger triggered the seal but only around 20% was unlocked and by the way iin unlocking the remaining percent there are different ways. Okay that''s enough and we won''t meet again, bye" Lan explained it to him. " Didn''t you said that before? He said. " I said that, well dont mind that bye" Lan bid farewell and Hakua found himself on his bed. ''That god always do everything he want'' he thought to himself and remembered about what Lan said about unlocking his powers. " I need to be alone, or someone may see me and my powers" he muttered and picked a book and went outside of his room and went to his mother. He found her mother sitting in the courtyard and saw her sad expression, he walked towards her and spoke. "mother, Are you ok?" He asked "Yeah, Im fine, sorry for worrying you" she replied to him with a smile. After his son left she remembered his son sad expression, she thought his son was a sad after knewing he was a mistress son. Then Hakua spoke "Mother, I will get stronger, And make you proud. I don''t want them to belittle the two us, I will be stronger." He said in a resolute tone. Seeing her son newfound resolve, all her worries about Hakua were washed away. Then smile and hugged him. Then He spoke again. "Mother can I go to the forest?" "Ehh why? What are you going to do there?" She asked "Well, I''m reading a book about plants" he showed the book he was carying, He picked that book to have reason to go to the forest." so I think going to the forest can help me learn faster." "Okay, well there are no magical creatures in there so it''s okay, come back early okay. .*sigh* Sometimes you don''t act like a child" She said "hehe..."he made a wry smile and then bid farewell. A few meters from the Auburn mansion, a forest with inhabited by animals can be found, this forest was abundant in resources, but no one dared to harm the forest for rhe legend says this forest was inhabited by a dragon, In the entrance of the forest a black haired boy was standing woth his sky blue eyes stating at the entrance. ---------------------------------------------- Hello guys, sorry if the release is late.

Chapter 4- Synchronization Arcandia Forest is located near the kingdom of Arcand in the Western part of the continent, this forest appeared a thousand years ago when, a dragon made this place as its lair. Dragons are one of the strongest existance here on Pragia, Dragons aren''t living beings they are purely made of mana which means they are immortal and like gods they were born due to the beliefs of people. Being made out of mana, each of them has the power to destroy the world and unrivaled, and according to the legend that there are only 10 dragons and they are scattered and slumbering on the continent. Being dragons they are prideful and doesn''t care about what the other creatures do unless they are being affected. To where those 10 dragons slumbers, only 4 of them were known,and being a dragons lair magical creatures avoid these places. One of them is Arcandia forest. No one dared to disturb a sleeping dragon for with in an instant they can be obliterated. At this moment, a black haired, blue-eyed boy with a female like face around 2 years old is standing in the forest holding a wooden stick. It was Hakua, he found this spot perfect for experimenting his newly unlocked power, and cut of a branch to make it his temporary weapon. Hakua stared at the mark on his left hand, it been almost 20 mintues since he stared at the mark. "Status" he suddenly muttered. Then a female monotonic voice ranged on his head Synchronization Starting Then various information flowed to his head causing a painful headache, making him scream from pain. The female voice still spoke Synchronization : 20% complete His headache still continued making him falls on the ground Synchronization : 45% complete Synchronization : 70% complete Hakua''s scream subsided, the headache vanish then suddenly. He screamed from the intense pained happening on his body. His bone started to shatter and started regenerating at miraculous speed making his bones thicker, stronger and harder than before. The intense pain rendered him unconscious Synchronization : 90% complete Synchronization Complete After the synchronization, Hakua showed no signs of waking up. But inside Hakua''s consciousness, he was comprehending the information that flowed through him. The information about the status and skills which he obtained, and knowledye regarding his skills. After a 3 hours Hakua woke up finding himself, he still feel some pangs and some mild headaches, which made him remembered what happened before the synchronization. -------------------- After entering the forest, he enjoyed the scenery while searching for a good spot. He enjoyed the calmness and sound of the forest. When he was still in his old world one of his hobbies is camping in tje forest and stargazing at night. A few minutes he found a wide place with no trees around, only ground and some rocks scattered, he was excited regarding his newly unlocked powers and was grinning happily, but a short while the grin on his face dissappeared and was replaced with a frown He was troubled regarding his powers, he was clueless on how to start and see his new powers he tried to use one of the skill he remembered, but it was useless until a voice rang out on his head. "Hahaha! What are you doing? Well I think I know" It was Lan again. He was laughing. ''ahhh the annoying god is here.'' Hakua thought to himself "hey dont think i don''t know what you are thinking" Lan said unhappily. "hehe........... Then you know why am I troubled? Can you help me" he said with a wry smile. "Yup. I forgot to tell you last time. tehee!" Lan replied "tskk... So what should I do?" He asked in an irritated tone. "Well,you just need to say "Status" then- nevermind just say that word and you''ll know" Lan replied in a suspicious tone. Then Lan''s voice faded. -------------------------------- "That bastard, he didn''t even warned me" he muttered with a frown. After recalling what happened. He remembered that he need to know his status "Status" Status NAME Hakua Auburn AGE 2 years old GENDER Male LEVEL 60 (-240) RACE Human CLASS Sword god Strength 2,916(?11,664) Vitality 2,624(?10,496) Resistance 2,390 (-9,560) Agility 2,708(-10,832) Magic 518(?2,072) Magic Res. 2,390(-9,560) A holographic screen appeared before his eyes.

Suddenly he remembered about his skills, he recalled about the headache, and the information he gained, knowledge about swords and some techniques started to flowed in his mind.

As he was thinking this he noticed that it was already dark and its already late. ''shit, I''m late!'' He thought. Then he prepared to depart and go back home. ------------------------------------------- In the mansion a beatiful woman was waiting on the door with a worried expression. It was Cella she was waiting for his son. It''s already evening and his son haven''t came home, it was the first time thag his son wanted to go outside so she permitted him, for as long as she knew his son spent his time reading books which were abnormal. He wanted his son to play and venture outside the house until today which his son asked for permission. While worrying she saw a familiar figure coming. Her previous worried expression was replace by happiness, happiness that her son came back. After Hakua came back from the forest he saw his mother worried face and said. "Mother I''m sorry." "It''s okay, Im just worried. So why are you late?"she asked "Well I fell asleep in the forest, and when I woke up its already late" "So that''s the reason." she muttered. She thought the reason his son didn''t came home earlier, because of the conversation earlier and he was sad because of that. "By the way, Are you ready for tommorow''s departure? You need to rest earlier,well depart in the morning" she followed "will father coming with us?" Hakua asked "ahh no. Your father will meet us there" she replied. "Is that so. I''ll be going on my room now. Good night mother." He said and hid farewell to his mother. After talking with his mother, he headed straight to his room and because of the events that happended this day, he fell asleep. He was tired especially because of the pain that happened earlier. ------------------------------------------------- Somewhere around in the Western part, In a dimly litted cave by the end of it, a veiled woman wearing a black dress was talking to a middle-aged man with a fierce face and scar on his eye. The middle aged man wore a robe and within the robe were various hidden weapons perfect for assasination. "Within a month, I want you to kill someone." the woman ordered "Ehhh. So who are the unlucky ones?" the man asked with a devilish grin. "They will be coming in the Capitol within a month, I want you to kill them and show that it was an accident. I''ll leave the methods to you. Their information is written on this paper." The woman said while handing a paper. "Is that all, dear customer?" The middle-aged man asked. "Yes, I think I can leave it to the infamous Shadow guild" "Of course. After all we are the no. 1 in terms of "Assasination" ". The man replied. With that the gears of fate started to move slowly. ----------------------------- I have some notes The skill levels were divided into 6 ranks namely: Novice,Intermediate,Advanced, Master,Emperor and God And I intenionally didn''t put the meaning of the skills, I reveal it in the next chapters. another thing the numbers inside the parentheses in the status part. are the stats deducted due to being sealed And about the central part is still a mystery i think I will reveal it at the start of the school arc.

Chapter 5- Hakuas Power "Ahhh!","Hieeeeee!" Shrieks of despair and pain can be heard. In the highway towards the capital of Ancard.a wooden carriage boy with a unconscious woman inside, around it were a number of figures lying on the ground can be seen some of them limp, others unconscious, and the others dead by decapitation or stabbed in the heart or head. It was truly a gruesome sight to behold. Within those pitiful bodies a boy around 2 years old, with black hair and blue eyes, His cute face cause him to look like a girl. In front of him was a middle aged man kneeling, as if it was asking for forgiveness, no the man was truly asking for forgiveness and begging to be spared. Within an instant the man''s head was separated from his limbs, within the final seconds of the man seeing the cold and void-like eyes of the boy, He knew that the boy wasn''t going to spare him. He recalled his memories, on how he was commissioned by a woman to kill the boy, Being a child He thought that his job was easy until now, one by one his men were killed in an instant, and in his final breath his only regret was accepting this job. "Ahh..... It''s the first time I killed someone" a childish voice yet makes you shiver came from the boy As the boy muttered those words He stared at his bloody hands and next was the sky, His body was covered in blood, the former silver long sword became blood red in color, His face was tranquil and calm. ----------------------- He woke up, He was full of sweat every where on his body, the reason was because of the nightmare he had. As he glance to the side he saw a female wearing maid clothes showing a worried expression and spoke. "Young master, are you okay? Before I entered the room I can hear you shouting." The maid said. "Yes, Lin. I was just having a nightmare so its okay, is mother awake?" "Yes, she was already awake an hour ago, she was waiting for you to eat breakfast" she replied After he stood from his bed Lin removed his clothing and was helping him get dressed. Hakua just stood there letting her dressed, he was already used to such treatment at first he was embarrassed, but as time passed by he bexame used to it. After gettting dressed he headed straight to the dining room, with his mother already sitting drinking coffee. "Good mornign mother." he greeted as he seated "Good morning sweetie, why are you pale? Is something wrong?" she asked worried. "Yes, Im fine mother. I just had a nightmare." he replied "Is that so.. May i ask what is your night mare about" She asked with a curious tone. "Im sorry, I don''t remember" he said His mother replied with a nod. What he said was a lie, he still remembers the nightmare he had clearly. He recalled his dream with a sad expression, which his mother noticed. In his dream He saw himself beside a wooden carriage in his side was a silver longsword bathe with blood, around him were many figures dead with some of them were brutally killedand in his arms was a wounded woman, dying. It was his mother, he was crying for he wasn''t able to protect him him even with his power he acquired. The reason why his mother was killed was one of the assaulters was someone they knew, they were betrayed, and he remembers he betrayers face clearly. As he was pondering about his dream. "-kua." "-akua!" "Hakua!" His mother was calling him "Yes mother?" he asked hurriedly "Are you sure, there''s nothing wrong?" she asked with a worried expression. "ahh. Yes everything''s okay, I was thinking about something" He replied to him with a warm gaze to relieve his mother He continued eating but he still notice that his mother was still staeing at him. "Mother, Im okay. I was just thinking about the big animal I saw yesterday" he lied, he wanted his mother to stop worrying. "If you say so, by the way after 4 hours the carriage which will bring us to the capital will arrive. Did you pack your things? It will take a week till we reached the capital." she said. "Yup everything''s done! By the way why does the book says the we are in the capital but you are mentioning another capital are we going to another kingdom?" he asked, according to the book currently he was in the capital of Ancard kingdom but his mother told him they were going to the capital which made him confused. "Ancard kingdom is just a branch kingdom of the Frolt empire, which is the only human empire in the world and our destination is the capital of Frolt empire which were half of the 10 great families resides." She explained While they were eating his mother explained the empires and kingdoms which can be found here in the western part. According to her The only empire ruled by humans is Frolt empire which has hundreds of kingdoms and dukedoms. And there are 2 empires in the Western, being one of them is Frolt, the other one is Lune Empire which is ruled by elves. After eating he headed straight to his room and pondered about the dream he had, while pondering he decided to open his Status panel. After his status appeared on the words written there struck him like lightning. Having his suspicions about the betrayer he decided to observe him/her. After an hour observing, he didn''t found something suspicious. He returned to his room to prepare a counter attack incase something may happened. Then a magic circle appeared on his feet and an array of light suddenlu engulfed the room. Within a female woman, started to materialize in front him, the woman has white hair and emerald eyes, and her pale white skin dazzling, with 4 pair of white wings on her back. Her face was well endowed which can cause wars. Then the woman spoke "Are you the one summoned me?" with a seductive voice A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.What he did was that he summoned a familiar, using one his skills [Supreme Summon] which allow the caster summon a familiar and last until the caster die and the race of the summoned was decided randomly from spirit, devil, angel and fiend and only 3 can be summoned at a time. Which an angel appeared. "Yes" he spoke with a tone beffiting of a master The angel kneeled and said " Greeting Master" she spoke in a respectful tone, she knew that his master was no ordinary one for he was able to summon him an angel which onlh a very few can do and and 8 winged one which only Hakua in the whole history to summon and 8 winged. "What is your name?" Hakua asked "This one is named Sera. Master" she replied "Sera can you transform yourself?" he asked. "I can master" she said and suddenly a white light enveloped her and transformed into a necklace with a winged pendant. " Is this alright master?" she spoked in Hakua''s mind. "Yes" He replied in a satisfied tone. A few hours later the 2 carriage arrived, he went to the entranced with his mother, but before they entered Hakua spoke. "Mother I forgot to give you this" he handed a winged pendant which is Sera and said " I bought this yesterday because it was a charm to keep you safe" he said while smiling innocently. "Thank you Sweetie, can you put this around my neck" she turned around and sat down to help to make it easier for Hakua to out the Necklace. [Sera, I want you to protect my mother from any harm, is that understood?] being master and familiar he spoke to Sera mentallly. [Yes, master] Sera replied. After putting the necklace, they entered the carriage accompanied by with Lin and another maid. and on the other carriage were their guards, after boarding the carriage. Anf they started travelling. While travelling Hakua was excited for it was his first time going outside of Arcand. At day they will travel and at night they will rest at the nearest town. 3 days have passed they will be sleeping outside camping, they had no choice for no nearby town can be found as they were preparing to sleep, with his passive skill [Detect] He sensed multiple presence surrounding them, and judjing from the aura they emit, a hint of killing intent can be sensed. He knew they were up to no good. He spkke to Sera mentally "Sera, Protect my mother, there are many ambushing us." after he said that, he picked one of the spare swords on the carriage and shouted "WERE UNDER ATTACKED" his voice cause all of them to woke up instantly for that voice was commanding and do nothing but obey. And even his mother The guards started to arm themselves and prepared for battle. Hakua spoke again. "Come out, I already know that you are hiding." He shouted towarda the forest. Some of the inexperienced guarda thought he was playing a prank but thosenthoughts were dispelled when many figures started to emerge from the forest. On of the figures spoke it was a midde aged man with a scar on his face. " Heh boy not bad, you have potential to be strong but, it''s unfortunate you are going to die now." The man said. He was the leader of a assasin guild,they were hired by a woman to killed the child and his mother. Hakua smirked and with that smirked the figures started to spring forward towards them, until with an instant, most of the figures stopped and was forced to be on the ground. Limp and lifeless Most of them died while some of them were withstood but they are breathing roughly , what Hakua did was turn his passive skill [Pressure] on, this skill renders the affected to feel physical pressure, causing pain. Onlh those with string wills can resist it Out of the hundred figures only 15 remained and with the guards only 2 remained standing while breathing heavily. The remaining felt astonished at the same time fear. Hakua spoke "Hehh not bad! If you can with stand the pressure" The middle aged man cannot believe what happened before his eyes, He felt Fear towards the child, that within an instant almost all of them were annihilated without making him moved, in that moment he knew that they cannot defeat the child before him. Let alone him. Some of his subordinates tried to escape, but as they run, the boy sprang forward with incredible speed making them unable to react. Some of them were decapitated, other were slashed open, the brutalness of the boy caused them despair until only he remained. the child looked at him, He felt despair, the cold gaze of the boy caused him to shiver and pissed his pants, then the child laughed emotionlessly and said. "hahaha, you piss your pants, what are you a kid?" the chils said mockingly, yet he cannot say anything the pressure emitted by the boy rendered him unable to speak nor move. "Tell me who, ordered you to kill us, and I''ll spare you." the child said coldly The man seeing a glimmer of hope spoke "the one who hired us is a veiled woman, I don''t know what''s her name for we dont asked the name of the requester but Insaw the crest on his clothes." "TELL ME STRAIGHT TO POINT OR I''LL KILL YOU!" The child angrily said. "It was the Auburn family" the man said while terrified. "okay, I uphold my word I wont kill you, now go before I changed my mind" Hakua said and with that the man started running away from the child who was like the devil. And he turned around he saw his mother lting on the ground, he was terrified. The dream he had was a premonition because of his [Foresight] skill, He hurriedly went towards his mother, but what he learned made him feel happy his mother was just unconscious. A few meters away from him a dead woman it was one of the maid that accompanied them. He knew that she was the traitor. Chapter 6- Arrival LUmm.

Her life was peaceful and even though they were poor, she was satisfied. When She was 9, a herd of magical beast, numbering almost a hundred with of the monster being rank C which has the power to kill tens of men, attack the village. Their guards in the village were killed in an instant without resistance, her parents and her elder brother and 3rd sister were killed, only her and her 3 yrs old twin siblings managed to escape the onslaught. Now being the eldest of the 3 siblings, she decided to take refuge in Ancard capital. The distance between her village and the capital can be travelled ind 3 days by foot, they only have some gold coins, which is enouh for them to live for a month. While travelling, a band of bandits attacked them, having no experience or training for combat, she still protected her siblings. Just before the bandits sword hit her, the bandit started burn and with a few seconds the bandit died with his skun burnt and his face unidentifiable, and it was the same to the other bandits, the remaining seeing their comrades die one by one, fled. After the bandits fled Lin and his siblings were dumbfounded about what happened and staring the corpses lying around. Until a female voice spoke to her. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Are your siblings fine?" the source of the voice was a beautiful pregnant woman, which beauty is enough to make her, a girl, blush. "Yes! Thank you for saving our lives" she thanked her and bowed gratefully, together with his twin siblings. "Ahh don''t thank, I haven''t done anything, it was my husband that killed them" she said and pointed at a figure, it was a beautiful and fragile looking man. "Thank you for saving us, Im Lin Meltos and this are my twin siblings, the boy is Alrin and the girl is Alren" She introduced herself and her siblings. "No need to be polite, I''m Cella and this is my husband Rolant. By the way where are you headed and what happened to you?" "We''re heading to the capital, well we-"She explained about what happened to the village and how they were attacked by bandits until they met them. "Then come work for us."Cella said "Ehh?"Lin was dumbfounded. "You don''t have work right, We need some maids, is that okay Rolant?"Cella followed "Well, we need some workers and I think they can be trained, so it''s okay" After hearing this Lin can''t be help but be grateful to them, she knew that even when they arrived in the capital, she aill be jobless and the money they have is not enough, and she trusted them for they save their lives. They were able to adjust fast in their new job they are very grateful towards them for giving them a new chance, and she pledged her life in serving Cella and child to be born.she also learned about Cella past, which grwatly resembles hers. A few months her siblings were found to have rare talent in magic, which mostly nobles have, and them being poor wasn''t given the chance for the magus assessment. They were sent to Pragia Academy in the Central, which is the top school in the Pragia. After few months the madame gave birth. It was a beautiful black haired boy which resembles his mother, the birth was successful but the child didn''t cry until after a few seconds which is strange. A few months he notice that the child has a beam of intelligence in his eyes. As the child grew up it was thought to be a prodigy, within a year he can some basic words and when he was 2 he already can speak almost fluently with some minor mistakes which is abnormal for a 2 yrs old. Even the child is a genius , the child shows no arrogance and kindness like his mother, which made Lin thought to herself that she will serve this child until the day she die. She was fortunate to have met and serve a family like this. When the child was 2 and a half years old, they were summoned to the capital of Frolt empire. They were 2 carriages she accompanied the madame and young master, together with another maid, which was hired half a year ago. The travel went smoothly until the 3rd day at night, they were preparing to sleep when the young master shouted they are under attack, the voice of the young master was commanding difeerent from his usual, innocent and childish voice. After a few minutes the young master shouted again and many figures emerged from the forest. The number of the assaulters greatly exceed their own, which is almost triple. The only thing in Lin''s mind was to protect her master, until something comprehensible happened, the aura around him changed, suddenly the assaulters laid down on the ground limp and dead and and the guards were rendered unconscious. they knew that the young master did something but What she doesn''t know that they were excluded from the pressure emitted by Hakua. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. They were dumbfounded at the scene before them, the assaulters which greatly outnumbered them were being killed in a matter of seconds, as they were watching this scene, by the corner of her eyes, the other maid attacked Cella with a knife which caught them offguard, She was knew she wouldn''t make it until the necklace of Cella started to glow and a thick white aura eneveloped the mistress, a white smoke atacked the traitor maid. And with that she lost consciousness. -------------------------------------- After making sure his mother is fine he laid his mother on the ground covered by cloth, along with Lin who also lost consciousness. He already knew what happened, Sera explained it to him. He ordered Sera to burn the corpses. A few minutes the guards started to woke up, they were confused about what happened, but Hakua made up a story which a strong female warrior helped them, and they accepted. After a few minutes his mother and Lin also woke up, he knew that his mother and Lin saw him killed the men. "Mom are you hurt?"Hakua asked worried "No, I''m okay." She replied "How about you Lin?" He glanced to the Lin "Im okay young master" Lin replied "By the way Hakua how did you did that?" His mother asked "I also don''t know mother, when I thought that you will get hurt, rage suddenly took me, after that I saw I killed them" He only told half of the truth, it is true that rage overtook him but he was still conscious "Is that so.. Im glad you''re okay and nothing happened to you" She replied with a smile, she knew that her son was lying, she knew that when her son lied, He will play with his nails. ''I think Hakua will tell me the truth at some time'' she thought, she knew that her son wasn''t normal. Then after talking to his mother he went towards the two guards who remained standing and saw him killed the assasin "I hope you keep this a secret" he said in a cold tone, enough to make them shiver. The guards can do nothing but nod, they saw how this child killed those hundred assasins all by himself and only within a few minutes. Then after a few minutes, they all fell asleep except for some guards for guard duty and Hakua. After ensuring his mother and Lin were asleep, he used [Hide Presence] to slip by and went into the forest. He search for a spot to lay down. After finding a good spot he laid down and stared at the night sky, recalling what happened earlier, "It was my first time killing someone yet i didn''t feel anything"he thought. "Did my mentality completely adapted to this world". When he killed the assasins, he didn''t feel nauseous or pity towards them only some anger. He knew that if it was the old him, he would surely hesitate about killing them. As he was thinking this, He fell asleep. ------------------------------ In a dark cave a middle-aged man was talking with a veiled woman, the expression of the man was full of fear and despair. "I can''t kill him! He-He is a monst-ter! The kid killed all of us only I survived because he spared me!" The man said while trembling, his eyes was full of fear. "WHAT SHIT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! How can a child kill all of you!" the veiled woman angrily yelled towards him. "Then you kill him by yourself! You''ll know he''s a monster!" the man said to her shouting. The woman trust this middle-aged man, when she wants someone to be killed he always call this man, she knew that this man wasn''t the type to create and exaggerate stories. She breathe deeply and said. "Okay. Tell me what exactly happened. " The man started tell the woman on how they ambushed the carriage, and how the boy killed them within a few minutes. After hearing this the veiled woman couldn''t believe what she had heard, other part of her says that this was impossible but the other part of her that to believe the man told her. She knew that she couldn''t do nothing after all that man was one of the most powerful assasin in the Frolt empire ------------------------------ The next day, they decided to continue travelling. Their travel went smoothly until they arrived at the capital, as they entered, He was mesmerized about how big the capital walls are, it was almost quadruple the size than the walls in Ancard. As their carriage pass by He can see the livelinees and difeerent stores in the plaza. Then after a few minutes they stopped at huge mansion, three times bigfer than the mansion in Ancard and in the entrance was a female looking man, it was his father.
Chapter 7- Free time As he and his mother stepped out of the carriage they were greeted by a female looking man, his father. "Cella! Hakua." his called out to them. "Rolant!" His mother also called out to his father As they got closer His mother and father hugged each other, Hakua just smiled seeing his parents how they loved each other. But something caught Hakua''s attention, A red and white light is eminating from his father chest, seeing his mother paid no attention to it, he paid it no mind. After a while his father called out to him. "Hakua why don''t you come here to father!" Hakua just smiled and went to them. He wasn''t particilarly close to his father like how he was close to his mother, after all, his father onky come home once or twice a week. And only spend 2-3 days with them, unlike to his mother whom he spend his everyday life with. But he still long for his father, he recalled his old life, His father died when he was still a year old, and how he was raised by his mother all alone. While being in embraced by his parents a voice called out. "Rolant, why don''t you let them in first, I''m sure they are tired because" the voice was from a beautiful middle aged woman, which resembles Rolant. "I''m sorry, mother I just missed them" he replied to the woman. As they entered the mansion which thrice as big, Hakua can''t helped but be mesmerized. The first thing he saw was a beautiful chandelier on the ceiling, the ornaments and paintings which by their looks cost thousands of gold. And there were are guards on each corner of the mansion, which Hakua felt that those guards were more powerful than the assasins he killed. Just seeing the interior makes one feel that the owner of this house is truly a rich and powerful man. As they reached the room which is like the living room, the middle aged woman spoke. "Cella it''s been a while." She said to Cella while smiling. "Yes, Madamme, it truly been a while" She said respectfully "Cella I told you, you can call me mother too." the woman replied. "Im sorry, mother" Cella said with a awkward smile The woman hearing Cella''s apology just sighed and turned her gaze towards the female looking and cute looking child, Hakua. "Hello, Hakua. This is my first time seeing you, you look exactly like your father when he was still a child." The woman said with a smile which caused Hakua to feel comfortable and secured. "Yes, It''s my first time meeting you, Im Hakua" Hakua introduced himself, while bowing. "Hakua that''s wrong, if you are thanking someone or introducing yourself, you need to put your right hand on your left chest and only bow slightly, that is how the Auburn family etiquette is." the woman corrected him while smiling. "I''m sorry umm-" "Ahh It''s rude of me not to introduce myself" the woman exclaimed. " I''m Clea Auburn, Rolant''s mother, which means I''m your grandmother" "Ehh? I thought you were my auntie." Hakua was surprised that she was his father''s mother and his grandmother. She thought at first she was his auntie for she don''t look old and only look like she was in his 30''s. "hahaha. Rolant your son surely knows how to flatter women like you. He''ll be a lady killer." she laughed and glance to Rolant "Mother! Of course that''s my son." Rolant refuted "Haha. Im just joking" Clea happily said. " Hakua you can call me mother Clea." "Okay. Mother Clea." he said to her. "By the way Cella, Hakua, father is still isn''t here until dinner he is in the palace , you can rest if you want. And Hakua if you want I can give you a tour about the house." Rolant said to them. "Ok father" Hakua replied "Ok Im a little tired too" Cella also said After that they were led to room, Cella Immediately went to bed to rest while Hakua went with his father, first he was led towards the garden which is twice as big that the one in Ancard. They also went to were their guards train which is a big training area. Then they went a a big room, and shelves, full of books,which were ten times tall than Hakua. In his old life He wasn''t that fond with books, but now in this life he spend his time reading books. Which made him to like books, and him liking books after he seeing this room which can be called a library made him feel like he was in trance.Then after recovering he spoke. "Father can I stay here for a while?" he asked, with beaming eyes. Rolant seeing his son happy when he saw the books couldn''t help say no. "Ok, I''ll have a servant call you when your grandfather comes back." After saying that Rolant left and Hakua was left alone which was immersed in reading the books. ------------------------------------------ After Rolant left he went back to check upon Cella. As he was on he bumped onto Lin. "Ahh! Lin, did something happen to Cella? Its like she has a problem, she wasn''t herself" "Master. I also don''t know but 3 days ago we were attacked by asassins luckily someone fend them off." "Ehh? Why didn''t Cella told me?" he asked. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. "I also don''t know" She said apologetically. After that Rolant hurriedly went to Cella. "Cella! Why didn''t you tell me that you were attacked by assasins?" He asked "I was planning to tell you, I just wanted no one to hear what I''m about to say" She replied.. "Then tell me what happened?" "After we left the first three days went smoothly ---" the she explained but she didn''t include who killed them. While Cella was explaining Rolant was clenching his fist due to anger he already wanted to find the culprit right now but Cella stopped him. "Let me Cella! Whoever did this they will pay for it!" Rolant said angrily. "It''s Okay! Rolant. I''m not hurt." Cella consoled. "Cella." he looked to her apologetically "Okay. But I promise that some day they will pay for it. By the way, where is the one who saved you and Hakua?" he asked. "About that. You know him." "eh? Him? Is it one of the guards?" "Nope! You were with him a while ago." she said teasingly "A while ago? The only one I was with is Haku- ehhh?" He was shocked he didn''t expect and believe that it was Hakua, but seeing how Cella smiled he knew she wasn''t joking. "I saw how he killed them with my own eyes, but i knew He did that because of me and look at this" She showed him her necklace which Hakua gave. "This is a beautiful pendant I can feel someone here." "Hakua gave it to me before we left and when I was almost killed the necklace shone and I saw that something came out and killed the one who attacked me." They pondered on how Hakua did that,but they didn''t contempt him for the reason he did that was for their safety. And they knew he wouldn''t harm them. A knock on the door was heard. "Come in" Rolant answered A male butler came inside "Master, your wife is looking for you." "Tell her I''ll be there shortly" He replied. afyer Rolant said that the butler came out leaving Cella and Rolant alone again. "Im sorry, I''ll be back after a while" He said with a sad expression. "Don''t be. I know Im just a a mistress" she said tearily "Don''t say that! You are my wife and the one I love." "I know" She said and kissed Rolant. --------------------------------------- After Rolant left, he went to the living room and saw a charming woman with blonde hair like Rolant. "Rolant, I heard they already arrived. Where are they? The woman asked. "Cella is in the room resting, while Hakua is in the library, Felia" Rolant replied to her. Is that all? I need to do something. By the way where Illia?" "She''s on her room, sleeping, she was tired. I''ll wake him up later." she answered. "okay" and Rolant left. After Rolant left Felia sighed. She was the youngest child Of the Lambert family which is one of the 10 great families which excels on enchanting. Ever since she was a child she always dreamed of becoming powerful magus, until she had her magus assessment, which the result is a normal affinity which can be considered a low class magus, her dream was shattered. Unable to become a powerful magus unlike her other siblings which has above normal results, she foucused studying to help her family in management until when she was 17 her family arranged a marriage for her to the heir of the Auburn family. At first she refused but knowing this could help her family she decided to accept. But she found out that his fianc¨¦ was in love with someone, she learned about how Rolant rebeled for the sake of her love ones she admired him. Then the Auburn decided to let him do provided that he will marry her, Felia. After their marriage, their attitude towards each other wasn''t cold but it was also not love. a few months has passed, Rolant made Cella his concubine, she wasn''t angry for that for she knew he love her. then almost a year has passed her admiration turned into love and one day she met Cella, they talk each other and learned how they loved Rolant and a strange kind of friendship formed between them, she treated her like a friend. ------------------------------------ In the library, no sound can be heard except the flipping of pages. The one ho was reading Hakua, after Rolant left him he became immersed in reading but at some time he can detect some maids or butlers coming in to give him drinks, using his [Detect] skill as he was reading a voice suddenly rang out behind, which made him surprised for he didn''t detect him. "Ehh.. That book isn''t bad." the source of the voice was a blonde man around 50 yrs old. Hakua was taken aback how this man slip by without him detecting. --------------------------------------- I think I can only release one chapter, Im so tired from school creating my thesis. Ill try to release tomorrow morning. And by the way if you have any suggestions or comments if my story is lacking something, feel free to write them. Chapter 8- Night Hello. I''m sorry if i haven''t release any chapters the last few days. I was so busy regaring my thesis and so tired.

The only empire in the whole world, which controls hundreds of kingdoms. It was named after the family which ruled it, the Frolt family, one of the 10 great families in the Western, which specialize in Rune magic. As the sun sets, in the capital, there remained a slight warmth but being replace by a hint of cold. Even though the sun is starting to set, it wasn''t dark but rather it was the opposite, the lights on the streets started to shine brightly filling the whole capital with brightness and liveliness. In the western part of the capital lies a huge mansion, capable of filling almost thousands of people. Within the Mansion ,a big room filled with books placed on shelves, a black haired child can be seen reading a book. His sky blue eyes is totally focused on the book. As Hakua was reading, voice rang out behind him. " That book isn''t bad". It was a blonde man, approximately 50 yrs old. The man was pointing at the book [Labyrinth Exploration] which is Hakua was reading. Hakua was dumbfounded on how the man appeared and slip by without him noticing, his [Detect] skill is always activated and how for the first time, his instincts tells him that this man is way more powerful than him. As he recovered from the shock, he saw another red and white light coming from the man''s chest,again he wondered about the light but he paid it no heed and said. " Yes...ummm. Can I ask yo-" As he was speaking another person entered the room it was his mother, Cella."Hakua, your father said your Gra- ah!"As she entered the room she was shocked at the figure she saw, it was the head of the Auburn family, Glenn Auburn.At first she and Rolant was on the room when a maid knock at them telling that the head of the family arrive, Rolant wanted to command the maids to call Hakua but she volunteered to be the one to go. "Its been a while Cella. Was it 3 or 4 years?" the man spoke expressionless which caused her to be startled. "It''s truly been a while, ''father''. It was 3 years" Cella replied to him nervously. Hakua wasn''t much shocked, he already has suspicions about the man, for he slip by without him noticing which only powerful people can do, and he was told that the head of the family was powerful. "You aren''t shocked about me Hakua" Glenn said while grinning towards Hakua. "It was as the rumors says" "Hehe" He just made a wry smile. "May I ask about the rumors. Umm-". "You can call me Grandpa. Well they told me that you are more matured and more intelligent than the other kids with the same age." Glenn replied to him." well nevermind that lets go, they are already waiting". Within the mansion a long rectangular table made from a high quality wood, surrounded by luxurious chairs also made with the same materials from the table. On the edge which is for the head, is a blonde man, the head of the Auburn family, Glenn Auburn. On his side was his wife, Clea Auburn followed by blonde woman, in his mid-30''s, The eldest Clein Auburn, she resembles her mother Clea a lot,Besides her is his husband. On the other side was also a blonde woman, it was Felia besides her is female child with a blonde hair, with the same age as Hakua, staring at Hakua which is on the other side besides Clein''s husband. ------------------- As they entered the room, Rolant was shocked seeing his son and Cella entering together witn his father, he knew that Cella don''t get along with his family, There were only 2 of them siblings. Being the youngest and the only heir of his family, he carried a lot of responsibility towards them. Until he met Cella, he fell in love at first sight, for him she was perfect, kind and beautiful. He wanted to marry her but because of his family he wasn''t allowed and was married to Felia Lambert, He was allowed to make Cella his concubine which she accepted. And now he had 2 children Illia from Felia and Hakua from Cella whom he love both but he wasn''t able to spend more time with Hakua for He wasn''t always there. ------------------------- "Hakua I heard in half a year you will have your magus assesment" Glenn spoke. They were currently eating in silence when he spoke. "Yes. Grandpa." Hakua replied. "So then why don''t you spend the time here while waiting for it." Glenn said while putting the spoon on his mouth. "That''s what I planned Father." it was Rolant who spoke. "Good, I also wanted to know my grandchild." as Glenn said that a smile appeared on Rolant''s face. He thought that because Hakua is his child from Cella he will be treated coldly. "By the way, Hakua did you met your sister" Rolant suddenly spoke, As he glanced towards Hakua and Illia. "Not yet"Hakua replied. "Ohh. So this is Illia you are older than her by a month." He introduced her. "Hello Illia. Im Hakua" Hakua glanced towards her. "He-lo.. I''m I-ya" She bit her tongue and hurriedly hid behind her mother which Hakua thought cute. "Ahh.. Don''t be shy.. Illia" Felia spoke. And Illia went back to her seat. The dinner ended, his mother stayed silent the entire time. For she wasn''t much paid attention. After the dinner ended They went back to their room, He stayed with his mother after a while seeing his mother peacefully sleeping, He slip by and went outside the room and went towards outside, near his room, to stargaze. If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. As he lied down, his consciousness started to drift and fell asleep. --------------------------- Hakua suddenly woke up, he detected 2 presences outside his room. He hurriedly activated [Hide Presence] and went towards the location. There He found his mother being held down by another person it was Clein''s husband, Grant. "Please stop! I love Rolant. I don''t like you" Cella said With tears starting to form on her eyes. She currently being held down by Grant, She woke up seeing Hakua gone, remembering about the assasination She thought he was kidnapped so she hurriedly went outside to find him when he saw Grant outside.He was the reason why she feel awkward towards the Auburn family, The last time she was here she was almost raped because of him. "Why? I love you more than him." Grant said to her."Since the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. Im willing to leave my wife for you. Why!?" "You''re not Rolant!" Cella shouted to her "If that''s what it is, then I will make you mine by force" He started to tear Cella dress and touch her body. "NO! Rolant help me! Rolant!" She cried. "No one will hear you. I activated a magic to prevent noise from escaping." He said to her. A few meters away Hakua can see his mother being held down, he cant hear what they are talking about but seeing his mother''s tears, he knew that she was being force. Rage started to build up in him seeing his mother crying. He saw that his mother''s necklace started to glow which is Sera "Sera. Let me handle this! I want to teach that bastard a lesson!" He spoke to Sera mentally. "Yes. Master" It was the first time he saw his master angry. Hakua started to walk towards his mother, when he got closer he activated [Phantom Step] which teleported him behind Grant, [Phantom Step] is a skill making the user teleport to a certain distance with a certain limit. Grant sense another presence behind which made him sweat nervously and backed away for a second, that made him jump away from Cella, for he thought someone saw him trying rape Cella. As he glanced towards where he saw fhe presence, he saw the child whom he just met earlier. "How did you get in there?"He asked to Hakua, he didn''t notice Hakua until he appeared behind him, he was sweating hard and dumbfounded because of the killing intent emmited by Hakua, which is a child. "You don''t need to worry about. After all, you''ll be gone from this world." Hakua said coldly. "Hahaha. What can you do to me. You who is a child!" He laughed but as he said that he was sweating heavily due to cold voice and gaze of Hakua. "That''s right I''m just a child, so no one will suspect me even if you die after all I¡¯mjust a ''child''." He laughed and Activated his skill [Impale] which caused a long sword to appear beneath Grant, facing upwards to impale him. He controlled the sword to stop before the sword touch Grant. "See Im just a child who can easily kill you!" Grant seeing the sword appeared beneath him almost instantly without him having the chance to react, became pale and knew he was about to die, "Please I sorry, spare me" He was begging with his knees on the ground. "Spare you? Why should I? Did you spare my mother when she was asking you to stop? If I did saw my mother will be surly violated by a bastard.!" He was filled with rage. "Hakua." His mother called. It was the second time he saw his son power, she knew that his son was angry for her."It''s okay. Don''t kill him, I also don''t want to see Clein be sad because of her husband died." She said to him. But in truth she didn''t want Hakua to dirty his hands for her again. "But mother! This bastard alm-" Hakua was cut by his mother. "Sweetie, It''s already okay. I''m sure he won''t touched me again. Thank you." She said to him. "Yes. Mother." He just sighed and agreed. Then he faced towards Grant who was on the ground kneeling. "Be grateful, If only wasn''t for my mother, I would have killed you already, but if you touched my mother again there will be no second time ." He warned to him and activated his [Pressure]. "Hiee" Grant shrieked fell unconscious due to the pressure emitted by Hakua "Thank you." Cella said to Hakua. ------------------------ within a dimly litted room Hakua together with his mother was lying on the bed. "Mother. Are you still awake?" Hakua asked. "Yes , sweetie. Why?" She replied. "I know, you wonder why I am strong." He said to her, he feel guilty because even though his mother saw what he did, she didn''t asked about it. "It''s okay, if you don''t want to tell me." she replied. "No, Mother. I also dont want you to worry" He told her about his past life and how he died. He also told her about how Lan brought him here in this world because of a game and how did he get strong. "So it''s like that, I know you also have it hard Hakua" She was surprised at first, but she knew he was still her son. "Im sorry, if I told you just now, I just want to get treated like a son to you, I thought if I told you, you will not treat me as your own son." Hakua said to him. "It''s okay. Whatever happens you''ll always be my son." As she said she put Hakua into her arms and embrace him. "Thank you mother." This cause Hakua to feel comfortable and fell asleep. ----------------------- A.N. if you are womdering about the MC''s personality, I am aiming for the mature type and about the culprit is still unknown.

I I''m truly sorry Chapter 9- Magic Potential As sun was beaming across Frolt empire, on a certain place in the empire 3 persons were entering towards a beautiful tall building, full of elegance on it was a sign with 2 words written on it, which is (Magus Guild). The magus guild was the most powerful faction in the Western part, for magicians which wasn''t affiliated to any families, they join the magus guild for work . As time pass the guild accumulated power comparable or if not greater than the 10 great families. Being a mage guild the structure of the building was truly refined making anyone who see it, be amazed. As the Hakua enters the building, on his side was his father and mother. Hakua was now 3 yrs old. They are currently here to test Hakua about his magic potential, which is necessary for he was part of the Auburn family which uses magic as its specialty specifically offensive magic. He saw the interior decorations which made him think about how rich the magus guild was. "Ahh, Rolant, It''s been a while." as he was in thought a green haired man wearing a black suit like a butler approach them. "Mr. Ben, it''s truly been a while, by the way this is Celia and my son Hakua" He respond. He didn''t dare to be disrepectful towards Ben. Actually he held Ben in great respect for Ben''s full name was Benjamin Krolt, the vice-guildmaster of the mage guild. "It''s nice to meet you, Mr. Ben," Celia lightly bows to him, she knew Ben being the vice-guildmaster. Hakua also lightly bowed to him without saying anything. Seeing Hakua''s action, he felt something. He knew this this child, Hakua, is not normal. " No need to be formal" he smiled "I guess you''re here to test Hakua." Ben guessed. "Yes, He is already 3 years old" Rolant answered. Hearing his answer, Ben called one of the guild attendants to assist them regading the test, and bid goodbye and left. As Hakua saw Ben left they were guided to one of the rooms by a female attendant of the guild. As they arrived. The room size was normal, on the center of the room was a square table with a transparent round crystal on the middle with the size of a fist. Seeing this setup,the first thing came to Hakua was a fortune teller. "Lord Rolant, this is the testing room, I shall now leave the room." the attendant said. It was in their rule that during a testing only the child and its parent are allowed to enter. It was to ensure secrecy. After the attendant left the room the knly ones left were Rolant,Celia and Hakua, they went towards the table. "Hakua,give me your hand, I''ll just prick your finger. We need a drop of your blood to activate the crystal." Hakua just silently put his hand above the crystal and there a small needle appeared in Rolant hands, And prickled Hakua''s finger. On their side was Hakua''s mother Celia, she was nervous and scared about the result of the test, she fears that Hakua will be unable to wield magic like her. As she saw Hakua''s finger being pricked, she can feel her chest tightens. The transparent crystal with a drop of blood above started to glow brightly with white light enough to envelop the room with light. "Shit" Seeing the bright light Rolant can''t helped but be amazed, because the brighter the light the larger the mana pool of a person. Seeing this light he thought that his son was a genius, he remembered that the crystal didn''t glow this brightly when he test his magic potential when he was a child. Celia can''t also helped but be happy about thia, she knew about what the lighting presents. But what happened next, made them astonished and feel puzzled. Because after the light subsided the symbol of the element should appear but it didn''t. They feel puzzled for it was the first time this happened, there weren''t any records about the crystal not showing the element. Rolant told Hakia to drop some of his blood in the crystal again, but the result was the same. In the end they just accepted the result being elementless, by the way it was Celia to call it elementless. They returned home, Rolant didn''t feel downcast about the result for he knew that his son has a large mana pool but elementless which was unheard of. As they entered the mansion, in the living room, a beautiful blonde woman was siting on a couch on her side was Grant, he has an eye patch on his left eye. The reason for this eyepatch, it was because what happened a few months ago when Grant tried to rape Celia and the one who did this is Hakua. -------------------------- -A few months ago- "Master, are you awake?" A female voice rang in Hakua''s mind As he woke up he heard Sera spoke in his mind. "Yes. Did you finish what I asked you to do last night?" "Yes, master" She replied. "Good." As he said that he glanced to his side and saw his mother still sleeping, he can''t helped but remember what happened last time ''Fuck, that bastard! I truly want to kill him but It''s enough for now.'' Is what on his mind. "Oh Hakua, you''re already awake?" It was his mother who just woke up, her beautiful face has a smile. "I just woke up." He replied to her. "By the way thank you for what you did last night. But remember whatever happens you''re still my son." She said to her while smiling. "It''s alright mother, but he won''t go unscathed for what he did to you." He said with a huge grin on his face. "What do you mean" She asked shocked about Hakua''s words. "Hehe.. You''ll know later mother" He said teasingly. Within a large room of the Auburn mansion. Specifically Clein''s room,8 figures can be seen, It was all the members of Auburn family starting from Clea, Illia, Felia down to Hakua. Glenn wasnt here for he want to the palace. They were not speaking nor making a sound. They were just saring silently to a man who was Sitting on the bed. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. "What Happened?!" The one who broke he silence is Clea. "I don''t know mother, It''s just I woke up at dawn with my eye aching then after a few seconds the pain subsided but I CANNOT SEE WITH MY LEFT EYE AT ALL!!" It was Grant, who was lying on the bed, who replied frantically. He was scared at the fact that he cannot see nor feel his left eye at all. "I scanned your eye using magic and saw that your nerves were severely ripped and damaged to the point that it can''t be healed." Clea suddenly said. She was from the Hamelt family which is also one of the 10 great families which specializes in [Body magic], this magic is about strengthening the body using magic but this requires great understanding towards the body. Being knowledgeable about the human body, can easily identify any abnormalities in the human body. "No way! Is there anything you can do? PLS MOTHER HELP HIM!" Clein cried in disbelief because of Clea''s words. She knew what does that mean, it means Grant will become unable to see with his left eye until he lives. "Im sorry, This kind of injury can''t be cured by magic nor medicine." Clea replied. Grant became pale hearing this, being his eye blind it will reduce his combat capabilities. By the corner of his sight he saw Hakua smile for a second which made him shiver. He still remembered what happened last night, he was almost killed by Hakua easily, he was scared for the child was only 2 and a half years old. He remembered The child''s cold gaze and tone, and the overwhelming power which is abnormal for a child. Clein cried hearing her mother response, she knew that his mother was knowledgeable about the body. After a few minutes they left the room, for Glenn said that he wanted to be alone. After Hakua exited from the room her mother whispered to him. "Hakua, can we talk in the room?" She asked in a quiet tone enough for only them to hear. "Ok!"he replied he knew the reason about why Cella wanted to talk to him. They went to the room, Rolant already left towards the Palace. After they went to the room they sat dow on on the bed, which is followed by silence. "Hakua, do you know about what happened to Grant?" She asked while staring intently to him. "Yes, mother." He didn''t want to conceal about what he done. "Why, Hakua? Didn''t you consider what would you aunt Clein would feel?" She said with a somewhat angry tone. In truth she didn''t hate Clein at all, she felt gratitude towards her for Clein treated her like her own sister. "Mother, I know you''ll be angry at me, but you are more important than Aunt Clein, I don''t want to see you get hurt again. And I didn''t broke our promise, I didn''t kill him." He said to her. "I know, it''s okay" hearing her son rebuttal she knew that Hakua kept his promise about not killing Grant.a Part of her feel guilty towards Clein while the other is she felt relieved for the first time. She knew that starting now Grant can not harmed her again. "Thank you! She said words of gratitude towards Hakua.towardsand hug him while crying. ---------------------- "Oh. Rolant you''re back, How is the test?" Clein asked curiously. "Yes, He has a large mana pool than me, but there is something wrong." "What is?" she asked. "Well. After the crystal shined, it didn''t show what is his element" Rolant replied. "Ehh? Weird." She exclaimed. "That''s why I need to consult this with father, is father back?" "Noy yet, and he said there was an emergency so he went to the [Central] with mother to settle some matters. I think it will be a year until they will come back" she explained. "Is that so." Hearing this Rolant felt dejected." by the way, Hakua next week you''ll be going back to Arcand together with Celia." Hakua just nodded. He was feeling tired, even he was stromg he was still a child, and went back to his room. As he lay down on his bed, he was thinking why he is elementless while deep in thought, Rolant knock on his door and entered "Hakua, I forgot to give this to you" Rolant handed small blue crystal to Hakua. "What is this Father?" "That is called a Status pill. After taking that it will allow you to view your status. Your status will show you your info about ypur name,race,level, class and stats but you still don''t have your class so it will show blank." Rolant explained." It will take an hour for that to take effect." "I-Is that so father." Hakua could open his status, he acted ignorant. After his father explained it to him, Rolant left the room, a few seconds later Hakua had an idea like an enlightenment. He remembered that his class was a [Sword God] which in [Legend] ban him from using magic but retain his mana for his skills use mana. ''It was like in the game huh. But let me try using magic maybe in here I can be allowed.'' He thought to himself but he fell asleep. -------------------------- Hi guys. I know its been a while since I posted , i think almost a month. Hope you guys like it.
In order to avoid misunderstandings. This isnt like a VR type where almost everything has an info. The only gamelike in here is the Status. Chapter 10- 5 years Hi guys, sorry for being late. If you guys have any suggestions for improvement just write them below. -------------------------------- "Swish" "Swish" In a courtyard of a mansion in Ancard kingdom, a black haired boy around 8 years old was swinging a wooden sword. It was Hakua. As he aged he face started to look like his mother, and his body like his father which is fragile like . His appearance started to trouble him, he wanted fo become handsome and manly not like his parents. It''s been 5 years since he came back to Ancard kingdom together with his mother. After undergoing the magus test, his father shut himself researching about Hakua''s condition being elementless, he didn''t show himself to anyone except for his advisor, because of the family''s affairs which he was needed and when Hakua''s about to depart. He also forgot to view Hakua''s status, which made Hakua relieved for his skill [Conceal Status] just replaced the his stats with a question mark and not to alter it. In Ancard, He tried to use basic magic, but it ended useless , until he notice something. He spent the next few years training with the new style he learned because of his skill [Sword mastery], he learned that this skill wasn''t just about increasing his strength but holds a sword style,the [Sword God] style perfect for his class. With this style, he obtained a a powerful sword technique and a new way to utilize his useless large mana pool which he cannot use due to being elementless. This style converts his mana into sword energy. The sword energy is can be used in enhancing his skills into a whole new level, and can be use to imbue the sword making it stronger and sharper. "SWISH" "SWISH" Currently he was in the courtyard training with the sword, one can see that the wooden sword that he was using was coated by some kind of blue green aura, which is the sword energy, and each slash sents slight vibrations into the wind. As he was engrossed with training, a shadow appeared from the bushes almost instant, and was charging into him , full of killing intent. A few milliseconds before the shadow appeared, Hakua''s passive skill, [Foresight], kick in which can predict any kind of attacks towards him. Foreseeing the attack, he activated [Phantom step] to teleport a few meters away from his original position. Seconds passed, the appearance of the shadow was a 4 winged angel. The angel was a woman with white hair and a pair of emerald eyes which was mesmerizing. Her beauty was out of this world which can destroy an empire. It was Sera a 4-winged angel. On her hand was a beautiful white 2 handed sword, which matches her elegance. "As expected of master" said Sera full of admiration towards him, "But master, be careful". As Sera finished his sentence,Hakua''s [Foresight] kick again. Another presence appeared behind him again, which made surprised. He hurriedly blocked the attack using his wooden sword, he still can''t use [Phantom step] because of its 5 sec cooldown, but still this skill was still OP even with the cooldown. Due to the power of the attack cracks started to appear on the wooden sword, in fact this was surprising, by judging the power it received it should have already broke but what prevented this was Hakua''s sword wnergy which envelop the wooden sword strengthening and sharpening it. After blocking the attack Hakua step back a few meters. "Ahh Renad, you almost got me there" Hakua said, " in fact if it wasn''t because of my [Foresight] I should have died". "But you didn''t master for you are strong, worthy to be my master" Renad said. He was Hakua''s new familiar which he summoned 3 years ago. He was fiend, with the appearance of a wolf with 3 horns on its head. It''s size was double the of an average adult. His fur was blue like frost with steaks of white and as hard as the hardest metal on the world. Its color was because of its magic, Ice magic. Fiends live in the Deviant Realm, in an another world different from this world. He was one of the most powerful fiends, fiends aren''t capable of speaking. But there are an exception, the Celestial Fiends are capable of speaking. They also can transform into human which can helped them to blend in the society but there is an exception, Renad wasn''t capable of transforming into human but he can transform into anything, Which others cannot. "Haha, I''m still not strong enough to defeat you and Sera" Hakua laughed, "I know that both of you aren''t showing me your true strength" Hakua continue pouting which made him cute. Actually Hakua still haven''t unlocked the remaining percent of his power but what made him more powerful was beacuse of his style and maturing of his body. "Master, even if we didn''t show our full strength, we still used 25 percent of it" Sera comforted then glared to Renad . "Master, even if we didn''t use our full strength, there are only few who can fight on par with me on this power and you are still 8 yrs old." Renad said. In fact when He first summoned He didn''t acknowledge Hakua As his master, for he was a kid but as time passes He saw Hakua''s strength and potential, which made him think that Hakua was still child, and that in a few years He was able to defeat him effortlessly. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. "Heh" Hearing this Hakua suddenly gained confidence and smiled like a child. His smile made their hearts move especially Sera, her face became scarlet red seeing Hakua''s honest smile. "By the way Renad, It''s about time" Hakua expression suddenly turned serious. "Shit." Hearing this Renad wolf face turned grim, "I''ll go hide master" He was a out to hide "Rewad" "Wenad" Two child voices resounded in the courtyard. Two kids, a male and a female, appeared running towards them. in a few seconds they were already riding renad, which made the three wonder how those two kids managed to climb and board the big Renad. Those two kids were Hakua''s twin siblings, a few weeks after they came back from Frolt empire, His mother was found pregnant which made them happy. They hurriedly sent a message to Rolant to inform him of her pregnancy. Which made Rolant to come home almost a month and stay a week. When Celia is 5 months pregnant they also received the news that Felia was also pregnant. Which made Celia happy. But when Celia gave birth, Rolant at that time wasn''t present, unlike Hakua''s birth but after a few days Rolant visited his newborn children, they were twins, the male has blonde hair like Rolant while The female has Black hair like Celia, but the two like Hakua have blue eyes. The male was named Aura while other was named Livitia. A few months Felia also gave birth to a boy. Making that boy the heir to the Auburn family. Being a child outside he didn''t habe the right to be the heir. Hakua also introduced Sera and Renad to his mother for Celia already knew about Hakua''s past. ''Ahh. Me! one of the most powerful fiends is being a plaything of 2 kids'' Renad thought to himself, even though he said that he wasn''t mad nor annoyed. At first he was annoyed and tried to scare them by showing his scary face to them. "Aura. Livia." Hakua called, out Livia was Livitia''s nickname, " Stop that look at Renad he is already tired". ""Yesh bwather"" the two answered and went to Hakua. "By the way, why are you playing here?" "Mama shaid to call you" it was Livia who answered. "Thats wight bwather" Aura also said. Seeing his two siblings face Hakua''s can''t helped to smile then turned to Sera and Renad, "Sera, Renad. I need to go to mother" He went inside leaving the two, on his side, were his two siblings while holding hands. He saw his mother sitting on the couch, his two sinlings seeing Celia went to her side running, while Hakua also went to him and sat on the couch opposite to her. "Mother, is something the matter? He asked "Well, your father sent me a letter telling that he is sending you to Pragia academy to study for you are already 8 years old." Celia said. "Ehhh, why do i need to go to school?" Hakua asked, his expression obviously shows that he didn''t want to attend one. "Because you need to." Celia said to him, "He also told me that he already enrolled you and you need to study there for 8 years.," "Is thay so." he sighed hearing this, in his past life even though he finished school he didn''t like to attend one, he would not go if not because of his family insisting like right now. "Then when will I go to Central?" he asked. "In a week you need to be in Yaltz city, which is the border of the human territory and the elven territory, the trip to Yaltz was about 4 days." she said. "Why Yaltz?" He was puzzled why he need to go to Yaltz and not straight to Central. "Well, the way to Pragia academy is different even it is in the Central." "Oh is that so." After speaking with his mother, he went to meet Renad and Sera ''I need someone who need to stay here.'' he thought then he saw the two whom are still jn the courtyard. "Sera, Renad, in two days, I will go into a journey to go to school and I will be staying there for 8 years" Hakua said, "So Sera I need to ask you something, I want you to Stay and protect my mother and siblings" "No!" Hearing this Sera protested, she was crying she didn''t want to be separated with her master which she loved. "I am yours, you are my master so I will stay with you" ''But I wont be calmed knowing that anytime my family will be harmed'' Is what Hakua wanted to say but seeing Sera crying His heart ached. "Then what should we do?" He still didn''t want use his skill [Supreme summon] until it is truly needed. "Then Master I can be the one to protect them" It was Renad. "Are you sure?" Hakua asked?, "Then, please take care of them." "Yes, they are my master''s family so I will protect them with my life." "Sera" Hakua turned to Sera who still has tears on her eyes. " It''s okay now you can come with me, so please don''t cry, it hurts for me when I see you cry." "Master" hearing Hakua''s words Sera face became tinged with red. For her to hear those words from the man she loved, made her feel happy. "But You''ll stay with me as a pendant." He added. ----------------- I think this will be the second to the last chapter of the first arc. Announcement Hi guys it''s been a while. Is it 3 months? Well I apologize for the sudden hiatus.

And There are still many characters that aren''t here yet but it''s just a matter of time until they will be introduced. Chapter 11 - Leaving Home "Hakua... wake up!" He woke up, with someone nudging on him. With his eyes still half closed, he can''t picture who was waking him up, however somehow the voice was familiar. The smooth,and gentle voice of his mother. "Ughh..... Mom?" "Ahh, you woke up. I''ve been waking you for a long time, it''s already noon, somehow I''m worried about when you go to Pragia academy." Cella complained. " never mind about that, Illia is already here since morning" "Illia? So it''s today huh." As he remembered that today was his departure towards Pragia Academy, together with his step-sister. "I don''t know somehow my sleep was comfortable, may because it will be a long time till the next time I sleep in here." "Is that so... Well Just get dressed, for the carriage is already ready." Cella replied, as she left. After his mother left he went towards his closet, unlike before he told to them that he will get dressed by himself where at first the maid rejected but gave up eventually. He wore a black shirt with matching blue pants, such simplicity. His outfit was very different from a typical noble who wears expensive robes, adorned with jewels. Being a reincarnated person from Earth, A shirt and pants were much more comfortable and was pleasing to his eyes. After changing, he directly went towards the dining room, where he saw his twin sisters already eating, and sat down. There he also saw Illia beside the twins, also eating. Now Illia was already showing signs of being a great beauty in the future. "Big bro!" The twins exclaimed seeing Hakua. " you''re late!" "That''s right Illia was waiting for you since morning" "No it''s not that long." Hearing the words the twins exclaimed, Illia hurriedly denied it. "What not ''long''? You already waited for a long time since morning" After Illia said those words, another voice resounded in the room, nevertheless it was Cella. "Hakua, apologize to her." Cella said with gentle yet domineering tone. Hearing his mother words Hakua bowed and apologize, truly he felt guilty to make a cute girl wait, just because of him oversleeping. But with his mother''s tone somehow he felt fear towards her. ever since what happened 5 years ago, his mother became much stricter to him but her gentle care and love didn¡¯t change nor fade. In short she still regarded him as her own child, a normal child with a little power. But her strictness made Hakua shiver in fear. "By the way Illia, Have you been well?" Hakua asked, it''s been a year since she saw her, however maybe it was because he was his sister, he didn''t much felt distance towards her. The last time when He saw her was when Rolant visited and stayed for a few days. "Yes, brother. And my mother want to say hello." She replied, like Hakua she also didn¡¯t felt a distance towards him, and regarded him as the older brother. "Is that so... By the way you''ll also come with me right?" He asked just to make sure. "Yes, I''m also 8 years old, younger to you by a few months" He remembered that after a few months, Illia was also tested for magic potential. the result,unlike Hakua''s elementless, she has an exceptional affinity towards one of the higher element, Essence. In this world, there were 5 main elements mainly, Fire, Earth, Wind and Water. Then after the main elements come the 4 higher elements which are, Essence , Space-Time, Chaos and Order. However there are also Special Elements which do not belong to the former two. Those Special elements has their own use. One of the known was Analyze and Control, howver what is their usage is still unknown. Essence was inclined towards life, where every being has an essence, even some items or weapons. The chance of having this element is one in a million. And being also part of the Lambert family, which excels in enchanting, her element was a perfect to it. The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. At that time after knowing, the two families held a banquet where he did not attend for his mother was pregant at that time, and can''t bear to leave her. "Oh by the way, Hakua, your father wanted to give you something" Cella said. " He sent it together with Illia, right Illia?" Remembering this Illia hurriedly nodded towards Cella question. "Right Father wanted to give you something I think it''s connected to you being elementless. It''s in the living room I''ll give it to you after you ate breakfast." "I see.." Hearing this he continued to eat. ------------- "Brother this is it." Illia said as she held out a black wooden box with a size of a hand. "Thank you" He said as he grabbed the box and held it on his hand. Inside was a dark blue bangle with streaks of black, the bangle gave off a feeling of absolute strength. He didn¡¯t know why but he felt that this was made by a great blacksmith from rare and good materials. Beneath the bangle was a folded paper, it was from his father. "Hakua, I know i havent'' been a good father to you, and never showed you my love, I can also feel that you dont love me like your mother, but I understand that but remember, you are still my son and my first born. This is a armament, a bangle made from mithril, one of the most rare and hard to use metal in the world, this metal is known for it''s ability to absorbed magic. With the help of a friend, an elven blacksmith. I manage to create this to compensate your elementless, I imprinted a specific kind of magic, body enhancement magic, Which can help you. I won''t explain it further after all I think you already have an outlook towards it. By the way, don''t make the noble girls in the academy pregnant okay. Haha. Dad" "Fuck? Why the hell will i do that?" He exclaimed as he saw the last part, however he cant helped but recall his father''s word about not being close to each other. He knew he too not only his father was wrong but he too, Every time his father was home, he didn''t talked to Rolant that much except when The latter is the one who started to converse. but there was something he was sure, he respected him, being able to fight for his mom, even His mother didn''t became the main wife He appreciated how he chose to fight for her, especially Hakua having retain his memories and having someone he loved he felt admiration towards him. After recalling this He wore the bangle however with his current position, with his mother and his siblings beside him, he thought it was not the appropriate time to rest it. After all he was already in front of the carriage together with Illia. "Hakua, I know it will be long time till we will see each other but don''t forget to go home during vacation" Cella said with teary eyes, it was the first time that Hakua will go without her for a long time. "That''s right big brother.. ugh" the twins said on the verge of crying. Seeing the twins cry and his mother anxiety, he felt lonely that he will be away to his family. "Aura, Livia don''t worry in a few years you''ll also go to the school together with me. And I''ll also be back during Vacation." He assured the twins which made the twins feel a little happier. "Young master, young miss. I apologize for my rudeness, but we need to go now, or we will be late" Suddenly th carriage driver interjected. hearing this Hakua bid goodbye to them and went inside the carriage, together with Illia. There as the carriage moved somehow he felt lonely. with that His trip towards Pragia Academy started. ---------- I apologize for being late, and not upholding my promise for I fell asleep due to exhaustion . But here it is Chapter 12 - Slaughter ''Ahhh.... I''m bored" "Bear with it, brother." It''s been 2 days since he left Ancard together his half sister, Illia. nothing eventful happened on the first day and now being sitting all day long on the carriage all day long, it is only natural for Hakua to be bored. " I know. I know....... Nah Illia don¡¯t you feel bored too? " asked Hakua. " Me? well I also feel bored a little, but I''m already used to it." She replied. Hearing her answer, he was puzzled. "what do you mean by that?" He asked. "I always go to grandma and grandpa ''s house thrice a month, which is on Lambert Kingdom, which every trip took 2- 3days that is why I''m already used to it."She answered., and by grandparents she was talking about her grandparents on her mother side. "Is that so?" Knowing this, somehow he felt lonely, he never knew much about his half sister, being a person from modern earth he also had a sister which he was close to. " If only I didn''t forget my books." he sighed. Only his books were his source of entertainment, aside from training. being a person from earth, he was fan of anime, manga, novels and games but not to the point of affecting his daily life and work. those book were his only past time in this world. even he was not fond of reading books, except novels. Hearing him mutter, Illia expression change and look towards Hakua, " if you want books I brought some from home." she enthusiastically offered. "If you''re talking about those lovey-dovey books on back no thanks." Teased Hakua. which made Illia turn red from embarrassment, but it also change into a solemn one. Hakua saw those books when He was looking for his book on his luggage when he notice that his sister luggage has a hole below and the books were already visible. Seeing her expression, he knew what is the other party thinking and decided to cheer her up a little, " but don''t worry even If I don''t read those book, its not like I hate them rather I don''t what to get your hopes up. but don¡¯t worry after we arrived on the academy, you''ll find a person who share the same hobby or thing you love." His words caused him to brighten and cheer her up. She started reading those kind of books during her etiquette schooling for nobility girls, she was on her way home, when on a whim she decided to enter a bookstore. as she was browsing, those books caught her eye , and decided to read a little bit. however he was completely enamored about a prince saving a commoner girl, or a princess seeing her prince charming. there she decided to but books of those kind but with the high price of books due to being rare, her pocket money was not enough and only bought two. starting that day she saved up money just to buy books, and without her knowing she already bought a lot of those kinds. However, She wanted to share her hobby to her friends in school but she was afraid of being shunned which caused her to keep it herself. and with Hakua also having experience like that during in high school, he can sympathize to her. <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Hmmm?" As Hakua was on the carriage, something rang on his mind, it was his [Detection] skill. He notice there were a hundred presence closing on them. *Knock* *Knock* He called on the driver " Something¡¯s coming." and warned them. On the front was male carriage driver, besides him were also 2 male. except for the driver, both of them were fighters, one is a lvl 50 magician of the fire element, while the latter was a lvl 56 swordsman. both of them have the air of veteran fighters and has exceptional sense born from years of fighting This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. when they heard Hakua''s warning, they all felt puzzled, they have excellent detection abilities, which was the reason they were chosen to guard the young master and young miss. together with their high combat abilities which can also fend even a lvl 70 fighter. but they didn''t dare to slacken off nor brush off the young master warning, they all knew that even though he cannot use magic, his swordsmanship was excellent to the point of being a monster. It was not a secret that when Hakua''s was almost 3 years old he killed and fend off, one of the most dangerous assassin in the country and even them were not confident of defeating the young master even if their is two of them they picked their weapons up and stopped the carriage to prepare. they didnt try to speed up the carriage, after all the young master just said ''something''s coming'' which means to prepare and not ''Run at full speed''. on the carriage, as soon conveyed those words, he strated to prepare himself, he reach to the wooden sword below his seat which he kept there in case of emergency like this. "What is happening?" seeing Hakua stand and the air around change, Illia became anxious and asked. "Something coming, im not sure what it is, but I think it hostile." He answered and continued, " just stay in here and don''t go out no matter what happen." "What about you?" she asked worriedly. "I need to check what it is. don''t worry I''m strong and keep this just in case." he said as he gave to her a wing shaped pendant. "Are you sure? and what is this?" she was worried, she held the pendant which Hakua gave to her. " Yes, and that is a charm to ward off danger." with the went out of the carriage. leaving Illia alone. As soon as he got out, all the hundred presence he detected charged towards them. As soon as they appeared they knew what are this, they are drachwolves. Drachwolves are big blue wolves with streaks of black. On their forehead was a black horn. This wolves moved in packs numbering a hundred making them one of the most powerful monsters on Eastern. ¡°Activate the powerful barrier you have, and use it on yourselves. The enemies numbers around a hundred. Let me handle this.¡± His words made the two pale. Hearing his command the magician activated a barrier of earth to cover the two of them. They knew that their young master has a plan but what happen blowed their common sense, shocking them witless. Seeing them comply he activated [Sword Tempest] in an instant thousands of swords appear out of nothingness, each of these swords have a sharp aura, capable of making one scalps go numb and scare them witless. There the thousand swords started to whirl around him creating a tornado of blades, seeing this the wolves started to retreat for they knew how fearsome this whirlwind was but it was too late, some of them weren¡¯t able to stop in time which made those becom shreds. And those remaining retreated. The swords also vanished, like they weren¡¯t there in the first place. ¡°OK, they¡¯re gone, were wasting time so lets go¡± as soon as he said that he wen into the carriage, which wasn¡¯t damage, the reason? It was because of a barrier which sera activated, when he received Hakua¡¯s command. The two fighters just nodded speechlees and slack jawed. They were broken by Hakua¡¯s display, After all what he just did was a slaughter. Pure slaughter. --------------------- sorry for being late. the next will be on monday.
