Reincarnation.A fantastical notion believed by many, yet simultaneously dismissed by others. I, too, did not believe in rebirth. My life was a continuous stream of suffering, and I considered such thoughts absurd. Death, in my perspective, marked the end.Even in my dying moments, amidst my disbelief in rebirth, a fleeting wish crossed my mind – a desire to be reborn into a wealthy family, to taste the joy of life at least once. It seemed ironic how someone like me, who didn't believe in God, found himself offering a prayer in his final moments.However..."My little pumpkin, look here!Before me stood a beautiful lady with black eyes and pitch-black hair cascading over her shoulders. She shook a blue-colored baby rattle to capture my attention."There is also a red one!"In her left hand, she presented a red-colored rattle, continuing the enchanting display.Rattle!Though I wrinkled my face at the sound of the rattles, the lady persisted in her shaking."Aboo."I sighed softly and
It has been more than 150 days since Valerius's birth, or rather, his reincarnation. He still hasn't seen his father, nor did the Emperor visit to see his children. The excuse being that the Emperor was currently busy dealing with the revolt in the Frostgate province. Although his mother and grandparents tried not to show it, Valerius understood one thing: their father, the Emperor, didn't even care about them. It was maybe obvious seeing how Luna wasn't even the official consort of the Emperor, but considering the position of Sage Theron as one of the Seven Sages and the master of the 7th magic tower, it was a huge disrespect.Nevertheless, it wasn't like Valerius cared for things like that. All he wanted was to stay back and enjoy his life, and it would actually be better if the Emperor didn't pay attention to him.Leaving that matter aside, since the Emperor was 'too busy' to name his children, Sage Theron took it upon himself as their grandfather to name them. A grand ceremony w
They say time flies like an arrow, and indeed, it was true. Six years had passed since the day Valerius was named.The first thing he learned in this life was how to use the toilet! ‘It was so humiliating…’ Having been subject to the shame of having his nanny wash his butt, Valerius had found it challenging to emulate the carefree demeanor of a child, but now it was all over. Valerius had to bear such shame for two years before he was capable of using the toilet by himself! ‘Let's bury the memories of this dark past.’ He didn’t want to remember any of this in the future because it was so humiliating! Nevertheless, it wasn’t the only thing Valerius had learned in his past years; he had also learned how to talk and walk.Valerius had learned the ability to talk at a mere six months old, yet he chose to keep this skill a secret until he turned one. He didn't want to surprise his mother and grandparents, who only witnessed Blondie's first words after an year. Valerius wasn't concern
"Valerius!"As soon as he heard the voice calling him, Valerius's frustration and irritation increased exponentially.The boy calling for him with that annoying voice was Ethan Ashborn.He was older than Valerius by two years."Why are you alone without your incredible Twin? Did you two break up? Kuhaha."And the other brother who was mocking him was Noah Ashborn, who was one year older than Valerius.They were both brothers belonging to the same mother, although, like Valerius and blondie, both were children of a concubine.From what Valerius had observed till now, both of them were the literal explanation of Assholes.'How can such young kids be so annoying?'Valerius thought as he turned around to face them.He had not a single good memory of these two brothers in the past years they were together.They had bullied him and Astra from the movement they entered tempest manor, although Valerius could beat up some kids with his adult memories whenever he wanted, he held back thinking t
Prologue-1"What is this…?"Valerius stumbled back on his butt as he witnessed a bizarre scene unfolding in front of him! It took him a second more to realize that the blue flame blazing like an infernal fire was not actual flames but the eyes of a certain being.Valerius’s eyes shook as they slowly adjusted to the darkness and gazed at the being in front of him."What the he...!"The words got stuck in his mouth as heavy sweat started to pour down his face. His face turned grim, and life left his body as he looked at what was present before his eyes.-Gulp!A huge figure towering more than 30 feet. Scales that moved as if they were alive and shone brightly like jewels.Two enormous black wings that could cover the skies.And an enormous body coupled with a gigantic horn! It was a being that could intimidate even the gods.A dragon![The will of the Dragon Monarch, Acnologia, has responded to your call and has awoken from its deep slumber]He heard an otherworldly voice resonating ins
Where there is bright light, there will be pitch darkness too…****"The King among the Kings, Ruler of Eight provinces, Bearer of the mythical seal, Overlord of the great Everhart Empire, his majesty, the emperor, Edmond Ashborn has issued an edict: get onto your knees and receive the privilege, O honorable sage."The sound of a man screaming at the top of his lungs while standing on the stage built around a bodhi tree resonated throughout the small remote village in the province of Soara.The villagers stood around the tree, observing the unusual appearance of the Emperor's messenger in their remote village. -StepAs they watched the unfamiliar scene, a middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd and respectfully bowed to the messenger."I am honored to receive the Privilege."The sage, clad in a pure white shirt and adorned with a gray robe, stood with an air of quiet authority. In his grasp, he held a staff, its appearance resonating with the weight of centuries past. The staff, w
Seated on a throne completely made of shining gold, adorned with gems and precious stones along with the statues of two lions attached to either side of it, the sun of the empire looked down at Sage Theron, who was kneeling on one leg.Golden blond hair, emerald-like red eyes, and a sharp gaze that would pierce through everything.Adoring various valuable ornaments and a gorgeous golden crown with three red diamonds, he looked very imposing and dignified.It was none other than Edmund Ashborn, the current Emperor of the great Everhart and the absolute ruler of the great Everhart, a being who is considered akin to the sky in the empire.Currently, in front such being in the royal court was Sage Theron who was kneeling on one leg to show his respect.It has been 17 days since the Emperor's messenger delivered the royal edict to Sage Theron and invited him to the Royal Palace.They departed as soon as possible and after a long journey, Sage Theron and his family arrived at the royal Pala
Guest abode of the royal palace.The grandeur of the Royal palace was as exquisite as one could expect, the hallways were decorated with various exquisite decorations and everything down to the floor was shining as if it were screaming the word 'luxury'.And in such a luxurious and overbearing place, a rare melody wafted through the air.Calm, like a flowing river, and serene, like a field of grass, the melody penetrated the hearts of those who listened, capturing their minds and souls. The source of this enchanting sound emanated from inside a room where a young maiden, as beautiful as a flower, sang with abandon.Seated by a small pond, designed as an ornamental feature, was the captivating maiden who possessed pitch-black hair, jade-like skin, and eyes as sharp as obsidian swords—she seemed to be the epitome of beauty. And a mole just below her lips further enhanced her charm, rendering any man beneath the sky captivated. She could rightfully be called a goddess on earth.As the m
