The Making of a Living Legend
He had been framed, his soldiers had been killed and his family had been exiled, it wasn’t long before they came for his head too.
His fiancé had sold his family secret just to get back at him and his best friend had shown his true colors while also revealing the real nature and goal of the tyrant king he had spent his entire youth serving.
There was no escape, he was a sinner who was detested by the civilians he protected at the frontier, of course he had to die. There was no time to check the right and wrong. Those who should be executed shouldn’t be left standing.
Death visited him and claimed his life, but it never took him away.
Instead, he was thrown back to six years when all the chaos hadn’t happened and he wasn’t even a general talk less of a sinner.
His fate could be rewritten.
But nothing was ever easy, he woke up in the body of a good-for-nothing man who was six cities away from his former city, the city he found himself in was the third poorest city in the whole empire.
How was he supposed to stop the tyrant king, his two-faced best friend and his disloyal fiancé who were determined to get control of the whole empire even at the risk of innocent people? And stop another chaos from ensuing in the empire.
They stood at the top while he was at the bottom.
Not to mention that the first challenge he had to surmount was a vicious family who blinded him as soon as he regained some comprehension in his new body.
But nothing had ever stopped him before, he was a stubborn man who was resilient even in the face of death.

Chapter: Chapter 18: Your Step Brother Is A Nice ManEvery one of them stood closer to themselves as Max approached, a small smile that disgusted Ashton to no end hanging on his lips.“Elaris, Caden, Ashton, you are here,” Max said and Caden just nodded while Ashton couldn’t resist the urge to scoff.“Of course, we are here, where else were we supposed to be? In your room?” Ashton asked fiercely but Max only chuckled.“I didn’t know that you have some sort of vendetta against me,” Max said. “I am only here to see my step brother and ask how it is going with the treatment of his eyes.After all, you, young master Ashton, provided him with medicine that would speed up the healing.”Max’s voice was smooth and gentle, there was no trace of malice in it but even a tinge of concern laced his words, he looked like he was genuinely concerned about Elaris.“I was just coming from Arcane branch, and heard noise at the yard so I figured why don’t I stop by,” He continued. It was then that all of them noticed that he was still wearing the red and c

Chapter: Chapter 17: He Wasn't Jealous“My Lord, Lord Rades is here,” A guard informed Lord Cald who was sitting in his study and going through some files. Lord Cald raised his head and raised a brow at him.Tarex had told him that Lord Rades had gone to scout Elaris Blackwell instead after the young man managed to get the first place and the first supreme level ever in Astrad’s Academy Examination.When he didn’t see any trace of the man the day before, he had assumed that Lord Rades had overlooked him because he was merely a city Lord in Astrad and went for the son of General Blackwell instead.“Direct him to the study,” he ordered the guard who nodded and went out of the place to invite Lord Rades in.It wasn’t long before Lord Rades entered and Lord Cald greeted him with smiles and directed him to the chair.“I hope you are not annoyed that I am only coming here today,” Lord Rades asked and Lord Cald laughed as he shook his head.“Do I dare to be mad at you? That’s not right at all,” Lord Cald replied and they both lau

Chapter: Chapter 16: Good-for-nothing Son“Mrs. Wilder, Lord Rades is here,” The head maid informed Phina and she quickly stood up with wide eyes.“Are you sure about what you are talking about?!”“Yes, Ma’am. The second city Lord of Embrayl is here, at the moment he is standing on the patio.” The head maid confirmed once again.“Invite him in, and quickly send a maid to inform my husband about this. I am sure that he would be very glad about it. Let me entertain them before he is able to make it here.”“Yes, ma’am.”The head maid went out to perform the respective duties that were assigned to her by Phina. It wasn’t long before Lord Wilder himself was down in the living room, he was about to start asking questions when a man entered and indeed, it was Lord Rades.Both husband and woman stared at each other in surprise before hurrying to meet him.“Lord Rades,” They greeted and the man nodded at them.“May I ask what brings you to my humble abode?” Lord Wilder asked, he was so excited to have the extremely rich second city Lo

Chapter: Chapter 15: Food Poisoning & Fragile Souls“We have found the culprit!” An exclamation from one of the maids just entering the room broke the suffocating silence in the room and every one turned to look at the maid in surprise.It was Phina’s head maid who was always by her side and in charge of assigning duties to every maid that worked in the mansion.There were two guards behind her, dragging another maid into the place they were.“What do you mean that you found the culprit?” Dax immediately asked, relieved to be able to pin the blame on someone else. It was obvious that the matter would only continue to get worse the more Elaris probe to investigate.He was sure that the verdict he expected to be given to be the culprit was not a simple threat—after his victory at the arena, he had known not to underestimate him.It would be no surprise if Elaris was already aware that it was him and his mother that orchestrated the plan to blind him.“We found her in the kitchen, putting some kind of medicine in the food that was suppose

Chapter: Chapter 14: The Great Elaris Has Spoken“You should have been there, Caden! I am sure that you would be as stunned as everyone there!” Ashton exclaimed and Caden raised a brow at him in surprise before he turned to look at Elaris who was sitting quietly on the bed with his eyes closed and back against the wall.They have finally settled down in Caden’s room after moving their stuff from their old place to each of their respective rooms, every one of them had to admit that it was better to live inside the mansion which wasn’t as hot as the former almost-ruined house because of the weather.Both Caden and Elaris were definitely going to have a good night's sleep.“Are you sure that you aren’t saying this because you are ‘supporting’ him or something?” Caden asked, still in doubt.“Unless the whole audience and dean suddenly wanted to ‘support’ him, there was no way they would have given him the highest score and said that his result was supreme level, would they?”“But—”“No buts, Caden.

Chapter: Chapter 13: Petty Tricks At The AcademyTarex Cald who had been standing to the side stared at Elaris with hatred, his face was tight and he heart pounded heavily with the immense level of hatred he felt for the guy.His spot had been secured, he was supposed to continue the tradition of making the Cald family get the top position at the entrance examination into the academy—it had been like that for years and it should always be like that.But suddenly, the clown came out of nowhere and decided that the next thing he wanted to do was snatch his top score from him. How dare he do that?The spotlight was important to him and he had always spent ten of the nine days studying, practicing and pushing himself to the very extent, but still, it wasn’t as important as the impression he wanted to secure in Lord Rades’ face.His father got the golden chance of finally inviting Lord Rades into Astrad and had spent a lot of time telling him how much he wanted Tarex to make him proud. Now, not only had Elaris forced him to lose face in
