Karna could not understand what in the hell was happening to him. First, he was transported to earth near the slums, or at least that's what it looked like. The most probable guess was that all of this was an illusion created by the Spirit Soul Force Manual or at least that's what Karna thought. But now was not the time to think about anything else as Karna found himself in his room back in the Zarx Territory. Everything was as he remembered, nothing was changed but he had an inkling that something would happen soon. It seemed to be nighttime as the room was rather dim and the outside was dark. Everything was silent and Karna decided to take a small break and gather himself for whatever would come next. The thought about what happened before crossed his mind. One of his fears was that his parents in the past life might have abandoned him for no reason, but even he thought that it was ridiculous... After all, why would anyone abandon their child for no reason? Karna sat on the bed
Karna saw as the two assassins were closing in on him despite hindering their movement with fireballs. The Assassin with the cutlass was going on full force as he did not give Karna any opportunity to run away. "Damnit! If only the spell had more power..." Karna thought. Fireball and Wind Blast spells were just apprentice-level spells but mages ranked higher were able to increase their power to an unimaginable level despite that. Karna suddenly remembered his previous life and the things that he had learned. "Wind... There is only one way to increase the impact." Karna thought and resolved himself. First of all, he emptied all the spells he had in backup to buy some more time. Multiple fireballs were blasted near where he and the assassin were standing. Karna got burns on his legs from the impact but he endured the pain, the assassin was far worse off than him and halted the continuous assault for a few moments and moved back. The fireballs had created a lot of dust and smoke whi
The fateful day of the banquet was finally here, the castle which was being adorned for a long time now was finally ready for the mysterious event that would soon begin. All preparations were ready, and the ballroom where the banquet was going to be held was especially adorned with gold plating for the grand occasion which only a few individuals knew what was really about. Noble Lords and Ladies, merchants, and even scholars from the capital along with representatives of Nobles who themselves could not attend were getting ready to finally attend the banquet. Lara was currently in Karna's room, she stepped away from him a bit to take a good look at him to make sure she didn't miss anything. Karna was wearing his extravagant clothes as always but he felt as if something was off with the clothes he was wearing that day. "Hey, Lara. Say... Isn't this a bit too much? Even my most lavish clothes aren't this extravagant. I look like a King." He said as he looked awkwardly at the cloth
Karna took a sip of his wine and looked at the entrance as a sound of footsteps was heard coming from outside the Hall. The special guest came in and Karna's eyes widened as he almost spat out the wine in his mouth. "Our first special guest today is the representative from the Leblanc Auction House... Lady Vilma!" Marquis Miller said and raised his glass of wine. Everyone else followed his lead and welcomed her. Vilma came in with Kuku and Mayra on both sides and waved to the people present seductively. "How typical of her..." Sophia muttered. "Why is she here?" Karna spurted out, "You will know soon..." Sophia said. Many people were also wondering the same thing. But no one argued that the Leblanc name didn't deserve to be treated with respect as everyone knew that the mysterious house of Leblanc was not just limited to the Auction House. While on the other hand, Liam was fuming with anger seeing Karna and Sophia whispering to each other. The Duke shot him a glance hinting t
Duke Carlstine walked up to Marquis Miller amidst all the noise of people talking and the clinking sound of cutlery along with the soft and calming melody of music. "Lord Miller, it's nice to see you at last. I have been hearing that you were... rather busy these days." He said with a calm expression. The truth was that Duke Carlstine had been trying to have a meeting with the Marquis before the event but was told that the marquis was busy in preparations. "Forgive me, Your Grace. I have truly been busy in the preparations of a few ventures." Marquis Miller bowed and replied apologetically. "Oh? If I may ask... What ventures might those be?" The Duke asked sarcastically. "Just some minor matters, Your Grace. Not worthy of your attention. Did you like this city of ours? I heard you have been to the Auction House already?" Marquis Miller changed the topic and asked. "Oh it wasn't me, Liam was the one who went there. But I went on sightseeing just recently... You have developed
Liam felt as if someone had just hit him with a hammer. He was trembling with rage and looked at Karna with killing intent. He was just about to bring out his sword and attack him right there and there. Before he could make any impulsive move though, he felt a strong grip on his shoulders. When he looked behind, he saw his father the Duke who moved his neck sideways and tacitly said to not do anything. Nobles, Merchants, and others who were blown away by today's revelation slowly realized the existence of the Duke. It was obvious why Marquis Miller chose the Zarx Family as a partner. Marquis Miller was known to be an amiable man but not many people knew that he was very prideful at his core. He did not appreciate the fact that the Duke could simply choke the Trade Route and all the Blue Isle City's business with the Island Chain would be useless. And aside from the Dukes, the Imperial Family and a few others there was just the Zarx Family who had enough wealth to partner up with h
The woodland southwest of Blue Isle City near the Tejrov Mountains and the Goodsoar Valley was silent and calm, the time was early morning, it was a bit dark as the sun was just about to rise and only the sound of birds chirping could be heard. A cold wind blew by swaying the tree leaves which made a gentle rustling sound. The sun was slowly but surely rising in the sky illuminating the earth little by little dispelling the darkness. Everything was serene and calm in the vicinity. Suddenly a crunching sound of dry leaves being crushed rang out along with the mild, almost nonexistent sound of footsteps. A red-haired boy who wore a black scarf around his face presumably to hide his identity walked cautiously while holding a pitch-black sword in his hands. His steps were precise and his footwork was impeccable as he slowly made his way deep into the forest. The boy was, of course, Rudra. At least he was the one currently possessing the body. It had been three months since the banque
The forest was not as dark as before but it surely was not calm as a giant worm-servant thing that was very agile in movement looked to be going after a young man glowing in red who was just as agile. While the cat-and-mouse chase was happening, the nearby trees were being victimized as the serpent's tail was all over the place as it chased Rudra destroying the trees in the process. Seeing that its surprise attack had failed it was not able to beat Rudra in agility, the servant stopped in place and leaped into the air, and soared down at incredible speed as it rotated its body like a drill. The ground immediately split apart when it crashed, and the whole area became incredibly dusty in no time to the point that Rudra wasn't even able to see his surroundings. "I got this!" Karna said and conjured the 'Wind' spell and created a strong breeze that completely swept away the dust. When the location where the serpent crashed was cleared, Rudra and Karna saw that the earth was devastat
