2024-10-29 19:42:56"Huh?", Rin was preoccupied with the light so much that he had forgotten about the riddle but it seemed like the voice decided to move on.
'Sigh looks like I couldn't answer the first question...', Rin was a bit sad.
'Hmm, but indeed, that was something to think about...', however, he was a bit happy that such a question was asked to him.
"If you are told that tomorrow is the end of the world and if you are given with a choice to save only one among your mother, your best friend, and a stranger, whom will you save first?", that was the second question which the voice asked.
The question was quite tough for Rin. He didn't know what exactly he had to answer with.
Of course, while saving someone, one would give priority to the ones which are the most closely related so obviously, the answer for that should be a mother.
But then again, he could save his best friend too because that person would also be close to him.
No one would give up their dear ones to save a stranger would they now? So the question seemed quite simple but at the same time, it wasn't.
Rin realized the true meaning of the question after analyzing each and every word separately.
"I don't have a mother now do I?"
"I don't even have a best friend..."
"So obviously I would choose a stranger since he or she is the only valid one left who could be saved!", Rin answered this after thinking for a minute or two.
"Haha, is that so? You are quite smart...", the voice responded to what Rin said.
Indeed, the question was a bit typical and was aimed to force on what the exact words were used.
As soon as he said that, suddenly, a blue orb of light appeared. Rin wanted to catch that too and thus he wanted to run towards it, but there was no need to do that.
That was because the orb of light was attracted towards the previous white star-like mark that was drawn on his palm.
The mark started to glow with bright white light and even before he could do anything, the blue orb of light had already settled in the palm. Now another star was formed which overlapped the white star.
the stars were quite big and accommodated the entire palm thus there was no more place for other stars to fit. Maybe that was why the second star that was formed overlapped the first one.
“Alright, so what is the third question?”, Rin asked.
He wanted to finish the questions as soon as possible and get out of this illusion or whatever it was.
“…”
“Alright, so here is the third and final question…”
“What makes a kingdom? Is it money, buildings, or the King?”, the voice asked.
After hearing the question, Rin started to think deeply regarding this matter and after thinking for a few minutes, he replied, “I think neither of those.”
“I think the answer is – People.”
“Even if we don’t have money, even if there are no buildings and even if a king is present or not, as long as its citizens live together, a kingdom can always be formed.”, Rin replied.
“Ha…”
“Hahahaha.”, a loud laughing voice could be heard.
Rin was startled because of the sudden laughing.
The laughter soon stopped right after which another orb of light appeared and this time, the orb was attracted towards Rin.
The red orb got absorbed by his right palm and another star sign was formed.
Suddenly his hand started to burn.
“Argh!”
“Wha-”
“What is happening?”, he seemed confused.
The burning sensation was for real and he couldn’t control it no matter what.
‘Just what the heck is going on!?’, he asked again and again.
He took a look at his right palm only to realize that a weird inscription was being formed. The three-star marks had vanished and now a black-colored inscription started to appear.
It then slowly started to spread all over his palm and then covered his entire right arm too, till the elbow region.
As the inscription grew in size or spread, his pain increased and ultimately he fainted.
The dark sphere that had surrounded Rin vanished right after that.
The man, who was standing a little behind him, looked at the disappearing sphere.
Rin was lying on the ground with the grimoire in his hand. He was completely unconscious.
“He is finally out!”, the man said this and then looked at Rin carefully.
The inscription had been engraved onto his right arm and the man could see it clearly.
“No way, did he really become the owner of this Grimoire?”, he had a small smile on his face.
*gulp*
‘Doesn’t that mean, he is our young master?’, he said to himself.
‘Yes, it is true.’
‘I cannot be mistaking about the mark of royalty.’
‘But this is indeed weird, this is the first time I’ve seen someone having such a big mark.’, he kept on staring at Rin’s right arm.
Yes, the mark that Rin had was the mark of Royalty. The ones who use grimoire, usually don’t have such marks but those who are of royal lineage can use a different power or a greater power. Thus, they would always have a weird inscription on their arms or chest.
The inscriptions would come in varied sizes. Power of the individual increases with the size of the inscription.
So the size of the inscription also denotes the rank and strength of royalty.
Now that Rin had the largest mark, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest of all the royal lineages out there. But of course, he lagged experience and without that, he would be nothing but a weakling.
He proceeded to pick the Grimoire but as soon as he touched it, his right arm was burnt.
Yes, his right arm caught fire all of a sudden and as soon as he left the grimoire, the fire son vanished.
‘Damn, first a weird jolt of lightning and now a burn?’
‘Just how strong is this Grimoire?’, he asked himself.
‘Well, whatever, I shouldn’t touch it.’
He then used his ring to store the Grimoire. Yes, it was a spatial ring in which tons of things could be stored.
Without wasting any more time, he lifted Rin and then left the museum.
‘First I have to take him to some safety and then when he wakes up, I will explain everything to him.’
He dashed as fast as he could and within a few seconds, he arrived in front of a large mansion.
A guard, wearing the uniform of a security guard and a cap, was standing outside, guarding the mansion and upon seeing him, he walked towards him in order to stop him from entering the mansion.
He was wearing a shady outfit so such a reaction was inevitable.
“Seven, it's me.”, he said in a low voice.
The guard stopped right away and bowed his head while taking his cap off.
“Greetings, Lord Vars.”
“Yes.”, he nodded his head.
The guard then opened the gate of the mansion and let Vars walk inside. Just as he entered, a butler greeted him as well.
“Greetings Lord Vars.”
“Yes Ruff.”, he said and was about to enter when the butler noticed Rin.
The guard had noticed as well but he controlled his curiosity and thought that it would be rude to ask.
But as for the butler, he would have to handle every matter in the mansion so he thought that it was right to ask about the boy.
“Lord, this boy is…?”
“Arrange a room for him.”
“And from now on, refer to him as Young Master.”, he said without answering who he actually was.
The butler looked like a middle-aged man, a little older than Vars.
He used to think that he is quite healthy but after hearing Vars call him Young Master, he rubbed his ears a bit to check if he heard wrong.
“So, I have to call him Young Master?”, he asked yet again.
“Yes.”
“Not only you, but for me as well.”
“In fact, everyone in the Kingdom Werewoll would have to call him that.”, he smiled while saying this.
“…”
“Wait…”
“Lord…”
“Doesn’t that mean…”
“Yes.”
“It is exactly as you think.”
“He is of Royal Lineage.”, he smiled yet again while saying this.
And just as he mentioned this, tears fell from Ruff’s eyes and he bowed immediately.

“Young Master, you are the son of our late King Rion Weros.” “Huh?”, Rin was surprised by what Vars said. He had no idea who the person was. “But my father’s name is-” And even before Rin could state out his father’s name, Vars said, “Rios, right?” “…” “Yes.” ‘That is indeed my father’s name.’ His memories had been whipped out. Only some records in the form of photos were left in his house. So only with that, he remembers his parent's faces. Only because of those photos could he remember about his brother. But their names, he could barely remember it. He could only recall his father’s name. He didn’t even know his mother’s name nor his brother’s. Because of this, when sometimes the teacher would ask him to fill out an application, he would only fill in his father’s name. He couldn’t even fill in his father’s full name and would only just write one word. Due to this, he was often hit by h

The guards and only this bastard vampire would come to torture him every day. The guards would do this to let go of their frustration, if any, and the prince only because he got joy from it.As mentioned earlier, Ezek’s eyes were lifeless.

Monarch's Eye [5]
After killing multiple black-clad individuals, Reynold appeared before Emma as he heavily panted for air. "Huff…yes, thanks" Similarly gasping for breath and nodding her head, Emma's eyes darted all over the place as she looked at all of the battles happening around her. "What's going on? where are the professors?" "I don't know" Shaking his head, he looked just as confused as Emma… Logically speaking with everything that was happening around them, the professors would've already come down to help them as they wouldn't stand there and just watch the students die. It had to be noted that a lot of the students here were sons and daughters of very influential figures. Yet with everything going on around them, they still weren't here. That only meant one thing… Thinking that far, he clenched his fists and looked at Emma who seemed to have had the same thought as him. They were on their own… -Woosh! -Woosh! -Woosh!

As his emotions returned, Ren's face repeatedly changed as he felt his shoulder twitch uncontrollably. === -Clank! -Clank! -Clank! Surrounded by three black-clothed individuals, Reynold swiftly moved around his apartment hacking at them with his sword whenever he saw an opening. -Clank! "khhh…" Parrying his sword, one of the black-clad individuals signalled to the other two people to attack at the same time. Noticing their sign, Reynold forcefully twisted his body and defended against two attacks coming from his left and right side. -Clank! -Clank! "khhh…" Barely blocking the attacks, he took a few steps back as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. Looking at the three black-clad individuals before him, Reynold couldn't help but curse. "Damm it" Whoever the trio was, they knew about his attack pattern and the sword art he used. From the way he attacked and his habits, they knew them all. It seemed that whoever they were, they had done their research on him and had c

With Emma in his arms, pain flashed across his face as his body trembled uncontrollably.

His desperate and pained cry resounded through the whole world. * Inside of a tent, not far from where Ren was. A male stared at the panel displaying the battle that was ensuing. His eyes were devoid of any emotions. There was deep ruthlessness hidden within them. Staring at Reb who was mourning Emma's death, the male did not feel anything. Rather, there was a trace of disgust on his face. Tapping onto his right ear to cut off the communication device, he took his eyes away from the screen. "...How useless." His emotionless voice rang through the room. "You had one job, and one job only. Defeat him, yet, you let such emotions sway you. How many times does this make it?"

Slowly, cuts started appearing all over his body. For the next minute or so, Reynold was slowly but surely being driven towards a corner.

Almost instantaneously, a tremendous hue wrapped around his daggers.Taking a step forward, his body suddenly melted into the darkness.SHIIIIING!Appearing right in front of them, Reynold thrust his daggers forward as he performed an odd combo. His first strike was a powerful strike that shot up like lightning, followed by consecutive strikes that could seemingly sever rivers.With each strike, the dagger's pattern became more and more eccentric. At one point, one of the daggers followed a path that was similar to that of a snake.

His body twitched with annoyance as the white reaper felt his other's emotions run down his body. The Duke's resistance irritated him. "It's funny how you think you can do something to me now that we're both in the same ranks again. You couldn't do anything when we were of the same rank before, yet you think a small power-up would make a difference?" his fingers pressed against Duke Azenoch's arm as he squeezed his hand. The Duke's face changed, but his hand continued to squeeze before it compressed it completely and he was able to close his hand into a fist. White reaper could feel the bones of the demons crush inside the palm of his hands. "Don't annoy me any further." Pulling his hand back, the hand tore off of the Duke's body and blood began to slowly spill out. his other self glanced at the torn-up hand for a brief moment before throwing it behind him, only to see it stop mid-air and fall at the same pace time was moving at.

But that wasn't what concerned Lightning Dragon. His concern was that the White Reaper on stage wasn't the one he had fought. 'His mana control, it's completely different from when we fought. In addition, he moves a lot more efficiently than in the past. Every one of his movements seems to be perfectly calculated, and...hm?' His thoughts paused for a second. Leaning his body closer, his eyes opened widely as he pressed his hand on the window to get a better look at the fight. 'Wait…' His eyes slowly started to enlarge. "That…" Opening and closing his mouth, his face paled as he came to a sudden realization. 'He's standing where he was at the beginning of the fight.' No, rather, he was only one step ahead of where he previously stood. This… Who in the world was this? Was he the White Reaper he had once fought? 'Impossible.' Lightning Dragon shook his head. The undeniable reality in front of him shook him to the core. It was at that moment. "Enough!" He was jolted out
