Someone once told me,"The greatest irony of life is that it only truly begins when we have something worth dying for."However, when I heard this, I was constrained by the matrix of society. I couldn't see the truth and had already worked hard my entire life.To be successful, you must amass wealth, power, and beautiful women.But all I got was failure after failure.People claimed that I didn't focus on the right things or that I wasn't diligent enough, but there was only one plausible explanation among all the nonsense."You're just too unlucky, man."Yes!This was the most plausible statement and the only one I believed to be true.I have been such an unlucky person since childhood that if we could quantify my unluckiness, I would have broken my own world record on a daily basis.My parents were scumbags; I was bullied at school and beaten at home on a regular basis, and no matter how hard I tried to study or improve myself, my bad luck would appear like a ghost to slap me in the

[Welcome To the world of Arcedia] This was the first thing I noticed after gaining consciousness in this new world. However, before I could even react to the identity of my new world, I experienced a push as everything began to squeeze around me and push me from my back towards my head. Fortunately, after a few minutes of relentless effort, I was finally able to feel the surrounding air and the hands of the person who was holding me up. Though, before I could properly settle the news of my safe birth in my mind, ~Smack! My back ached with a burning sensation. I began crying reflexively, and tears began to run down from my blurry eyes without my control. When I was crying my eyes out nonstop, I heard several individuals laughing and talking about my situation, and even though I knew that they were just happy about my safe and successful birth, I still couldn't help but curse them in my head. After my anguish subsided and no more tears flowed, I tried to open my eyes, but all I

Steeline Dukedom.Sari City, Steeline Castle.17th December, 1000.A young boy with golden blonde hair, green eyes, and snowy white skin, who was an exact replica of his mother, was walking down the hallway that connected the training grounds with the housing area of the castle.He was saturated in perspiration and was dressed in a blue vest and black shorts even though it was the winter season, clearly signifying his great exhaustion after a rigorous training session.Exactly!You guessed it correctly,It is me, Luke, heading into my room after finishing my daily workout regimen, which I completed earlier than usual because today is a special day.Today marks the seventh anniversary of my birth in this world known as Arcedia, as well as the start of a new era, a new millennium for this world.It was a very significant day for me, since it was the day I would meet my supposed future fiancée, AKA the first heroine, Selina Greenberg, who would be attending my birthday celebration tonigh

As I gazed upon the lovely full moon with its immaculate, cold beauty, sparkling with an endless number of stars in the black night sky of Arcedia, I had the impression that I was in a magical world, which I actually was.Even though I have grown quite accustomed to this world, there are still some things that are always able to catch me off guard, and I simply can not help but become engrossed in the mystery that hides behind them.Turning away my attention from the alluring silver moon that was visible through the window on the first floor corridor, I instead focused on the elegantly decorated white marble staircase in front of me.Though it was already dark, the entire Steeline castle was beautifully adorned with flowers, enchanted lights, and other opulent and magical decorations.The area around the Steeline castle gates was filled with luxurious carriages.The hall below was crowded, and although I couldn't see it with my eyes at the moment, I could tell the situation below from

"You all may already be aware that Luke is an early-stage sword apprentice. And I know it is quite surprising, as children are typically not permitted to train until they reach the age of seven."As my father took a pause in the middle, I flared up my aura for all the bigwits standing below to sense my rank.My aura suppressing ring was well hidden below my white gloves, so it wasn't a problem that someone would notice it and make weird assumptions.Woah!As soon as my aura spread, there was another commotion down below, but this time I could see that it was only from the side of our family members and some vasal families.The other guests, no matter how small or high their ranking, only had a superficial smile on their faces, and I could sense their scrutinising gaze and jealousy filled eyes.Although they smiled on the outside, I am sure they were cursing me to die inside because who would want the children of others, especially their competitors, to be geniuses?no one, at least no
