2024-10-29 19:42:56My head hurt, “hey get up lazy ass”, I opened to see a tall red-haired man looking down at me with his azure blue eyes. He was wearing blue sleeves, black pants and black boots. “Hey, how do you feel, that was quite a fall you know”, then I remember I fell from a cliff. Looking at my body I don’t feel any pain even after the fall and no sting from that last blast, “don’t worry about that I healed you up well”. He then squatted and looked into my eye, it was like I was looking at a mirror, “you look exactly like me” I told him, “I am you dummy” he patted my head,
“But not you right now, but the you that you will become”, “the reason I am here is that I sense that you are in danger, and I guess it was a dark mage that attacked you wearing a black robe with a sign of a crow right?”. He knew the mage,
“How do you know him?” I asked,
“Because he is the leader of the dark mages ‘BLOOD CROW’”.
He told me about the battles he had with the dark mage and I was surprised that I will this strong in the future. When I got to my feet I looked around and saw that we were on some kind of strange plain “where are we?” I asked him, “this is my magic domain where I will be training you for now”, I looked and saw that the trees are far taller and there are no sounds of birds or insects. Wait for domain “magic domains are only created by six circle mages, wait would I be a strong mage later on?” he looked at me with a smile “you are not only going to be a mage but also a swordsman”, wait for a swordsman “MAGIC SWORDSMAN!!!” I screamed with joy knowing I got what I dreamed of and wanted, “let me introduce myself to you formally, I am Sir Peter Grey, sword saint, ninth circle mage and the first magic swordsman”, I looked at him with admiration “From now on I will training you on how to be a magical swordsman still you are at the fourth circle and have achieved sword aura knight”. I knew it was going to be tough but I was prepared for it.
We trained for what seemed like an eternity, it was able to open up the second circle and stepped into sword knight first level. It continued for months at that pace until I reach the sixth circle and general rank knight level two, and then our time together ended.
“Before I go I want to link the power of the dragon to you, it is a large source of mana which can be very useful to us since we are both mages and swordsmen”. He placed his right hand on my chest. I felt a sharp pain, followed by a burning sensation. When he was done I saw the crest of a dragon on my chest and it was also the same pattern on his sleeves, “this is it off you go little warrior, be sure to make us proud”, he lifted his hands and there was a blinding bright light and I passed out.
“Mum he is awake, come hurry”, I heard a female voice, when I open my eyes there was a girl looked the same age as me with silver flowing hair and green looking at me, the door was open and a woman with the same silver hair but it was packed up like a bun wearing royal attire, I could tell she was royalty,
“You are awake little boy, how do you feel? hey don’t bug him too much Sarah, hope she didn’t disturb you, she has been taking care of you since we found you”, I looked at the girl by the side of the bed and she hid her face, hmm she was the shy type I thought.
“I am, ma’am where am I ?” she looked that me with concerned eyes “we found you at the bottom of cloud mountain three days ago and by the look of your clothes you were blasted off the top, but there is no sign of injuries in your body just the damage clothes”. I could not tell them that I was healed and left there for them to find me by my future self, I just kept quiet.
We seem to be moving in a carriage with an amazing interior design, and it was huge.
“What is your name little boy?” she asked with a smile.
“My name is Peter Grey, I am from Gales kingdom and I live in a town located close to the top of cloud mountain”, “and may I know the names of the people that saved my life” she looked at me with a smile.
“I am Queen Elizabeth and this is Princess Sarah of the kingdom of Gales”. Looking at how she carries herself, she really is a queen.
On the way to the palace, Sarah and I chatted and I found out that we were the same age and my fall was just two days ago.
“Princess have you gone for your talent selection, which class do you belong to” she looked at me with a big smile.
“I’m a mage and a duo element user at that hehe” wow she is amazing, “I need to also go for the selection too, I can’t wait to know mine”, I already knew mine since I am quite strong and all the training cannot be for waste.
We soon approach the capital, looking at the tall majestic blue gate that opens up to the palace, ‘this is going to be interesting, I just hope my parents are ok.
When we got into the palace, Sarah took me to the guest room, where I would be staying, “Peter, I will come to fetch you for dinner, so rest and freshen up a bit, the maid will bring you a new set of clothes.” Sarah said as she left me.
The room was large, bigger than that of my parent’s room. How I miss them so much, hope I get to see them soon and let them know I am okay.

I have been in the palace for two weeks now and I have already been sparring with knights in the castle, except for Sarah taking me for walks around the palace it was quite boring here, today she said she would take me to the training ground to watch her train.“Wow, this place is huge, this is amazing,” I said as I observe the training area.“This is where I would be spending most of my time now, my teacher would be coming in soon, let’s wait for her”. Soon after a woman in her late twenties, enter the training area.

Early the next morning, I was woken by the chirping of birds and the rays of sunlight. When I got off bed, I did my morning routine which involves a bunch of exercises to get my day started. After that, I went to the bathing room to take my bath and clean myself up since I was already sweating. I got out of the bathing and put on the clothes I have already selected to wear today from the previous day. It was a Dark blue tunic long sleeve, black pants and shoes. I looked in the mirror to adjust my clothes and arrange my auburn red hair before heading out. As I walked to the sitting I greeted the maids and servants. It was quite lonely in the corridor since it was early in the morning. When I got there, I saw Sarah and her mother Queen Elizabeth sitting on the couch talking about something. She was wearing a green dress the same as her mother's but hers made her look like a little princess and only got to her knees and she was wearing silver sanders. The queen’s dress was long with

At the time we arrived at the pavilion used for the awakening of talent.

The hall was huge and could easily accommodate over a hundred people.I noticed some people wearing cloaks of different colours and turned to Helen. “Who are those people wearing cloaks,” I asked her when pointing at them. “They are mages from the magic tower in charge of the awakening, you see they have different colours right,” she said pointing at a few of them.“The green robes are for beginners, the blue is for the middle or inte

“I know it sounds farfetched, but your future self would have told you about the power of the dragon that he has that grants him his huge mana pool, that was from me,” Apollo said in a much gentler tone because he noticed how frightened I was. “Kid, you know about the blood crow, you have suffered from them first hand, right”. Voltron said and that was the first time he spoke to me. I nodded as I remembered the near-death experience I had when I escaped the blood mage at the top of the mountain. “if the future you haven’t captured one of the high-ranking members of the blood crow and gotten the information on time, about their plans to send some of their members to come to kill and start their plans to resurrect the demon god. The future would have been destroyed,” he said in a solemn tone. “You were supposed to get only the power of Apollo, but based on what has happened w can sit back anymore, so we have decided to give you ours as well,” Indra said.

When we got to the palace, Queen Elizabeth led Sarah and me to the king's private study. When we arrived at the door of the study, she knocked twice before we got permission to enter. The study was huge. It had shelves that were as high as fifteen feet, stacked with books of different colours. Some of the books were about magic, which is surprising because the king was a broadsword user. We saw the king sitting behind a desk filled with files and ledgers. Behind him were a blue lion shield and a great sword behind it. Sarah hurried to him and told him what happened at the awakening ceremony, while the queen sat on the couch at the centre of the room and made a cup of tea for herself I could see the surprise and astonishment from the king as he looked at me with a strange glint in his eyes. “Peter my boy, you sure a full of surprises, this old man knew you would be a knight but to imagine that you got magic too, your p

That night, I decided to take the red dragon pill. When I swallowed the pill, I could feel a fiery sensation coming from my chest as the pill started to dissolve. Then it spread from my chest at its starting point to every part of my body. It was as if my body was set on fire, as I could feel the temperature raising and sweating all over my body. The next moment my joint started snapping, which caused me great pain. I thought I could bear it but the pain increased and my body felt as if it was burning up, to the point I let a scream and pass out on the bed. When I woke the next morning, my bed was damp and dirty. I got up and looked at my body to check if there were any changes due to the pains of my bones snapping and the feeling of my body set on fire. My body looked ok after my observation, just that my sight was a bit hazy. I went to the bathroom to wash off the dirt on my body, after I was through with that, I walked out and passed the front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in

After breakfast, Sarah and I took a walk to the back garden of the palace. The back garden was very beautiful, with different types of exotic and nearly extinct plants there. In the garden, you can see different colours and species of birds flying around. This place was a safe haven for these birds because they had been hunted outside of this place. We walked on the marble walkway and by the side of the walkway; you can see heroes, generals and kings as you walk down the pavement. We got to the centre of the garden and there was a statue of the first king of Gales kingdom. The stature was at least 10 meters tall and it was so life like that you could feel pressured just looking at it. On the four corners of the stature, stone slaps with the biography of the king written on them. His name was Vincent Yates, the first divine sword saint of the kingdom. After we passed the stature, we came to a pavilion and sa

The next week started and it was the first class for Peter and Joy in the third circle. They stood in front of ten feet high door and they could feel mana fluctuation from it.They open the door and step into an open field with trees and a lake. They were both surprised by the view and knew that this place was not in the tower because the land mass was large to accommodate the entire tower. Peter looked back and could see the corridor outside the door but at the doorframe, they were blue glowing lights. The door closed when they walked inside the room and they made their way to where a group of students was. When they got closer, they saw Gerald.“Peter, Joy glad to see you made it into the third circle,” he said to them with a smile. The students were made up of twelve students, five girls and seven boys and the instructor was a woman in her mid-thirties with wavy brown hair.“Welcome to the third circle class, I know that you guys have great talents to be able to get here at such

When Tina got down from the stage, she met Sarah smiling at her, “you finally advanced to the second circle,” she said to her. Sarah advanced to the second circle of days earlier after a hellish training session with Miss Helen.She has been getting personal training from her once in a while and they have been extremely harsh, but thanks to that, she advanced to the second circle. Her nature affinity increased a lot after that and she got a new spell called ‘MOTHER NATURE’. It is a growth kind of spell, when casting that spell, for twenty minutes she can summon wines and roots from four feet around her. It is like a domain spell because anything within that zone would be under her control even the earth.“Now I would not be left behind, I wonder if Peter has advanced,” she said with a smile, “I would love to see the expression he would make when we tell him about ours,” she said.“Let’s go over to his class when you have rested up,” Sarah said to her because she was still tired from

The stage of the arena was covered with smoke. Peter stood at his spot waiting for the smoke to clear off. On the other side, the boy pointed his staff forward and four magic circles appeared, “Scattershot.” Flames shot out from the circle into the smoke heading for where Peter was.Peter sensed the fluctuation of mana and his dragon sense made him know that an attack was coming his way. He channelled mana into his hand creating a whip from fire. When the flames shot out of the smoke screen, Peter flogged his whip forward towards the flames and it destroyed the flames.Peter sent the whip forward striking at his opponent, the boy raised a flame wall to block it. If it was not for the boost his staff gave his flame spells it would have collapsed under that single strike.Peter whipped the firewall again, and it started flatter, after the next strike the flame wall exploded, and the shockwave sent the boy two feet backwards.

Samuel stood on the stage facing his opponent. He took a red staff with a ruby at the tip. The ruby glowed with a tinge of an orange hue to it. He got the staff from a merchant for a high amount of gold after his duel with Peter.The boy with the buzz took off his cloak; he was wearing a sleeveless top showing his muscles. He had too many muscles for a mage.“Are you both ready,” Owen asked the boys and they both nodded. “Begin,” he said and the boy with a buzz cut shot three rock bullets at Samuel.“Fireball” a magic circle formed in front of his staff and fireballs blasted out of it meeting the rock bullets coming his way. “BOOM” an explosion happened as the spells met midway. Immediately Samuel shot another round of fireballs through the smoke hoping to take the boy by surprise.Through the smoke, three balls of flames came right at the boy with a buzz cut. “Wall” an earth wall rose and blocked the balls but it cracked when the last one hit it.The smoke cleared, and Samuel saw tha

After a long while, the battle finally ended, “you did good kid”. The berserker said as he merges his axe back together as one. “You look stronger in your dragon form, I wonder how powerful you are now,” the leader said to her. In her dragon form, he was just a couple of inches taller than she was.She switched out of her dragon, her scales disappeared, and she returned to her usual height. “that’s not what we should discuss now, we need to make it to the city, so I can meet up with one who can protect me,” she said calling back her spear. The group agreed and continued their journey.In the king's study in the capital of the kingdom, in front of the king stood a man in all black. His face was covered so that always his eyes could be seen. He had little presence and could easily be lost in the crowd.

In the class, students were inscribing tunes into sheets of paper. It was not other ordinary paper but magic sheets used to create magic scrolls. Magic scrolls are sheets with spells engraved on them, sold to merchants or adventurers.The price of the magic scrolls depends on the quality. The scrolls are divided into three grades. They are ‘Normal, Rear and Epic’ grades. So the class are learning how to engrave magic spells into the sheets. Some would blow up in their face, while most just created normal-grade scrolls.Peter found it interesting, as he tried to engrave the runes without using the steps he had gotten from the knowledge of the dragons. He wanted to test himself and he was among the set that the sheet blew up at their faces.Joy was not having it easy but she didn’t blow the sheets up in her face like Peter.“that’s all for today, I know it’s not easy but keep practising and we will continue in the next class,” Owen said as he made his way out of the class.“This is very
