[TRIGGER WARNING TOPIC AHEAD!]In Cielo’s first lifetime, he spent his days being a burden to his little sister, Shiela. From getting dressed to taking a bath, dumping waste, and eating – he needed Shiela to do all that for him. He was a useless person in the second half of his life in his first lifetime.At that time, Cielo badly wanted to end it all. He was too ashamed of Shiela. He pitied his sister and he loved her in his own way that the only thing he could do to help her was to kill himself.A year after he became a useless cripple, he tried many ways to end himself. But every time, he failed – that was how useless he was. Committing su*cide was something that he could not even do himself!So he surrendered to fate. Cielo gradually became a shell of his former self. His once sunny disposition about becoming a hero for the people was scrapped at the back of his ass. He could not even protect himself and his family, how could he even protect the world?Because Cielo was physically
The red-dressed woman staggered back as she held her bleeding shoulders. She shrieked in anger. “You will pay for this!”It was only when Cielo Regalia noticed that the red-dressed lady’s hands were overly wide and powerful. They did not look like a woman’s hands but more like a man’s. A bold guess surfaced in his mind.His grandfather had told her before that Divine Tier (Class S) cultivation techniques could give birth to intelligence, and some God Tier (Class SSS) cultivation techniques could even give birth to witches. The stronger the cultivation technique, the more cunning the witch would be.Therefore, Cielo suspected that the woman in front of him was a kind of witch. Now that Cielo heard the woman’s words, Cielo knew that he had guessed correctly.Cielo asked the woman, “You’re not the consciousness that the creator of the cultivation technique left in the cultivation technique. You’re the consciousness born from the God Tier cultivation technique. You’re a witch, right?”See
It was actually a God Tier (Class SSS) cultivation technique! It was even more powerful than what Velicia got which was a Divine Tier (Class S) one!No wonder the witch born from this cultivation technique was so evil.A long mnemonic entered Cielo’s mind. Cielo hurriedly sat down cross-legged and calmed his mind. He carefully chanted the mnemonic and comprehended the cultivation technique. Cielo could not be sure how long this process lasted. When he successfully memorized the cultivation technique, all the bones and tendons in his body were cleansed by the cultivation technique. They emitted a layer of sparkling white light, like fine jade.After comprehending the cultivation technique’s mnemonic, Cielo Regalia finally had the time to read the detailed notes of the Plunderer.Just as the founder of the cultivation technique, the Supreme Demon God, had said, the Beast Plunderer was indeed a bandit cultivation technique. After cultivating this cultivation technique, as long as Cielo c
After exploring the street for a bit, Cielo Regalia chanced upon a beef restaurant featuring beef prepared in many different ways. There was stewed beef, braised beef, roasted beef, and even cold mix beef. The smell wafting from this restaurant stopped him and Rito in their tracks.As though he was on a mission, Cielo hurriedly marched towards the delicious aroma with Rito in tow. In his haste to enter the restaurant, he almost collided with another customer at the door.Cielo managed to halt his advance in time. But when he began to apologize to the person he almost bumped into, a calm and familiar voice began to speak.“Cielo Regalia?” The voice was aloof and devoid of any warmth, yet it carried with it a hint of surprise.“Velicia?”There was something odd about this. His face was covered by the hat for fear of being flocked by the crowd. After the Trials of Eights, Cielo’s name became more famous than the winner. Why? Who would not? He was reported to die inside the Pavilion yet f
“What about this sword?” Cielo Regalia carefully fished it out of the pile. The sword was very ordinary in appearance. However, the moment Cielo touched it; a chilling energy surged from the sword’s handle and flowed through him.“Sir! Put that cursed sword down at once! If you want to live!” exclaimed the salesperson as he rushed forward urgently with a panicked expression.Velicia Aberon who had been observing the incident from the foot of the stairs, followed suit.“Cursed sword? Why is it cursed?” asked Cielo Regalia with sharp curiosity. He found herself unwilling to put it down.“Please put it down, kind sir. If you hurt yourself, I won’t know what to do.” The salesperson looked to be on the verge of tears.“We would sell this sword if we could as it is still in good condition. But in the past, whenever someone bought it, they would somehow injure themselves with it. Although the wounds were never serious, the fact that it’s happened so often means the sword is bad luck. It’s cu
These two people, Arabella Toshino and Cael Ruen, stood in Cielo’s way to get a ticket for Velicia.Upon Cielo’s arrival, Arabella immediately rushed over to him with a face full of distress and concern. She reached out to take Cielo’s hands but Cielo pulled back by taking Velicia’s hand on instinct. At this, Arabella awkwardly lowered and folded her own hands.“Cielo, where did you go? I got worried when Aunt Raella said you left the manor. Trinity College can wait next time, your health can’t. Don’t be silly,” pleaded Arabella anxiously. “I know you are still angry at me when I dissolve our engagement, but you must know I care about you.”Arabella put on a show of smiling while her eyes were filled with tears that Cielo did not know where it come from all of a sudden!Cael Ruen, Raella Ruen Regalia’s son, could not tolerate this any longer. How dare Cielo, this bastard, behave in such a manner. Arabella was worried about this useless man, who was not even resting at home as he shoul
In front of the tall gates of the Aberon Clan’s manor, Velicia was yet to open her lips or move to get moving. She did not know where to start. She did not even know if Cielo wanted some comforting words or if he wanted silence instead. Velicia was simply torn and she did not want to leave just yet!Clearing his throat, it was Cielo who broke the silence much to Velicia’s surprise. “Ehem. Velicia, there is a month before the start of school, right?”“That’s right.”“I plan to gather experience first before going to Trinity College.”Velicia looked at Cielo; her eyes met his flickering deep blue ones. “Where?”“Predators Lane, Ginlong Empire.”“I want to go with you. That place is dangerous.” There was no way in hell that Velicia would let him endanger himself there!The Ginlong Empire was a place deadly enough for someone new like Cielo. But the Predators Lane was a whole new thing! Hundreds of beasts were on par with her Ling Long and there were few, the ones who were slumbering with
The summer of the Ginlong Empire was particularly hot. Everyone who lived here, be it men or women, was all dressed up in the summer. Most of the men were bare-chested, revealing their muscular upper bodies that were covered in scars and sinister tattoos.The women casually put on suspenders or breastfeeds and used short skirts to cover their butts. No one would find it strange if they just swaggered down the street.Due to the high temperature of 40 degrees, Cielo Regalia was only wearing a red hooded shirt that exposed his wide chest. His long legs were hidden under a pair of work pants.Cielo held a cup of a local iced fruit drink in his hand. As he drank, he walked towards the mercenary trading building in the middle of the city.Along the way, there were always people peeping at Cielo. They saw his fair skin that formed a stark contrast with the other men and looked at his gentlemanly face that could not be hidden by his mask.However, they only watched and did not dare to really
