"I'll come with you," said Hector. Phinehas and the trio were preparing to leave for the caves and Hector wanted to go with them. It was a perfectly logical idea.Besides, the kidnapped kids would tend to recognize the village chief more than the Phinehas and the trio."Okay. Who will look after the village though?" asked Phinehas. "Old Zayn will help out in my absence," replied Hector. Phinehas nodded and looked at Memphis. Memphis shrugged. It was fine by him. An extra Mage wouldn't hurt especially when they were facing the likes of a general level creature. Hector took one last look at his wife. She tried to meet his gaze but glanced downwards, unable to look at her husband. Breathing heavily, Hector stood up and followed Phinehas and the trio. Old Zayn looked at Hannah. "You know that Hector loved you very much? why would you choose to hurt him so?" he asked.Hannah sniffled. "I had no choice," she replied, unable to meet the old man's gaze.**Memphis, Ralph, Cathy, Phinehas an
[Author's Note: Hi guys, it's been some time... I've been having massive problems with my internet connectivity which has made me unable to update rapidly like I am used to. Let's hope it will be resolved soon so that I can make it up to you. Oh, and please do leave reviews so I can know what you think of my book. Thanks!]**While the council were still out completing their missions, the tournament was still ongoing. The second round had ended and it was left with the 400 who had made it from the groups of 10"Congratulations to all of you! It's not been easy but somehow you've made it into the 400. Don't get complacent though because it only gets harder from here," said Eric as he looked down at the remaining 400 participants. There was a cheer from the crowd and the contestants. Clearing his throat, he continued."For making it into the top 400, all of you will be given five low grade potions and 50 crystals. Now on to the rules of this next round. Unlike the other rounds, this r
"Celine we have a problem," said Dean West. Celine came over to the dean and sat beside him. "What's the matter?" she asked."Some of the groups are in trouble. I need you to head to their locations as fast as you can and bring them here," said Dean West. "Is it Memphis' group? Their mission was a bit dangerous," asked Celine."No. They have problems too but they can handle it," replied the Dean. "Fine. You owe me one Andrew," said Celine and she vanished in a puff of black smoke. The Dean cracked a smile and continued to spectate the matches.**The first part of the round had come to an end. 50 contestants made it but the rest were all eliminated. The next day was much more fierce. The contestants gave their all to see to the elimination of their opponents. With neither side giving an inch, the match was very fun to watch. Just like the first part, only 50 qualified."Alright. Don't start celebrating now after winning your first 1v1. There are three more to go. We now have 100

Some individuals are born with silver spoons in their mouth; access to more than they could ever ask for and more than they could ever need. Some though, have to bite at dirt and toil, working their hands to the bone for low lives of poverty and hunger, not knowing where the next meal is going to come from.For ages, countless people have all speculated and thought of these questions, some more than others; Why are some more privileged than others? Why are others born to live miserable life? What is the cause of all the difference between others? Luck? Fate? God? All these thoughts flashed in the head of Memphis as he lay sprawled out in a rat infested alley. Blood was rapidly leaking from a wound in his chest and it dyed his faded black T–shirt violet. Life had never taken it easy on Memphis. His mother died from over exhaustion when he was six and his father was given life imprisonment when he was 12. His father's sentence forced him to drop school to cater for his siblings. With
Memphis found himself floating in the middle of nowhere. The place seemed endless and the only colour that could be seen was grey. It was like a void. "Where am I? Is this hell?" he asked himself but here was no answer. The void was deathly quiet and bleak looking. There was nothing to keep one occupied in such a place like this, only to continue floating on forever into oblivion.Memphis didn't know how many years, months or days had passed as there was simply no way to tell time in a place like this. It seemed as if time ceased to exist in this place, with the only thing seen was the endless grey void. Memphis felt that he was close to his breaking point as the lifelessness and colourlessness was driving him crazy.Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light and Memphis vanished from the void. Memphis was stunned by this sudden change and checked his surroundings. He found himself to be in what was like a Greek temple with large pillars and all. There seemed to be no one around unti
There was a heavy downpour happening outside the Lerain mansion but no one in the mansion seemed to care about that as family members, workers and guards could be seen pacing inside anxiously, eagerly waiting for good news. In a large room, a beautiful dark brown haired lady can be seen lying on a bed with her legs wide open. Beside her were three other women in light blue robes, the outfit of midwives. The older of the three women had positioned herself in between the labouring mother's open legs, ready to intercept the baby while the other two were whispering words of encouragement and casting blessing spells on the lady. Everything seemed to be going smoothly.Nana, the older lady though, knew everything wasn't that smooth as currently, she was in a dilemma. Of all her 103 years of working experience, she had never encountered a situation whereby the baby had such a weak energy signature which seemed like it would fade out at any given moment. Naturally, the baby should have been
The baby boy was given the name Memphis by his parents and the naming ceremony had been long held. Memphis was now a year old and he was able to run, talk and walk. As one belonging to a noble family, he had been quickly taught in the house. Due to Memphis having been an older person before, he was able to grasp onto everything very quickly.Memphis had been reincarnated into a world called Balvan, a world where magic was prevalent and powerful mages and beasts roamed the lands. It had a near medieval setting with a bit of magical technology. In terms of comparison to Earth, the world of Balvan was far larger, almost thrice the size of earth, with a population of about 43 billion.There are thirty–two kingdoms in Balvan and one empire. At first, they were thirty three but one kingdom disappeared from the face of the world. All the thirty two kingdoms are vassals of the Empire and the Empire has much control over the kingdoms. The kingdoms have been categorized into three namely, top t
