The Favoured Son of Heaven Beginning
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
The Favoured Son of Heaven The Goddess Daphne
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
The Favoured Son of Heaven A Prodigy is born
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 Favoured Son of Heaven The world of Balvan
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
The Favoured Son of Heaven Growing up as a rich young master
Rich kids and nobles have an edge over commoners or normal people and that is their wealth. They have access to money and resources that makes their life enviable and enjoyable. Fortunately for Memphis, he was on the good side of it. Back on Earth, he remembered the webnovel books he used to read in his boredom and solitude. Almost often, the protagonist was trash and later became stronger, or was from a Noble family that rejected him due to certain circumstances which made them struggle and toil for resources on their path to get stronger but well, not Memphis. As the only son of the family head, his family loved him and doted him. He wasn't just in any noble family but rather one of the most powerful ones in the kingdom. With this, he was sure that becoming a Mage was going to be a piece of cake.Currently, Memphis and his family were having their breakfast in the large family dining hall. Well dressed servants holding trays of sweet smelling delicacies entered and began to do the
The Favoured Son of Heaven Awakening
Memphis is now five years old and he has reached an important part of his life; Awakening. Awakening was a process where people awoke their elements and became mages. It also allowed the person to find out if he had any innate characteristics. Generally, Awakening ceremonies were held when the individual was 8 to 10 years old but for those in Noble families, they had it five years. This gave them an early start in magic and by the time they reached the normal age, they would have broken through to the next level.In the Awakening ceremony, there were many things needed. There were three crystals needed. An awakening crystal, a white crystal to check innate characteristics and a purple one to check mana capacity. All these had been bought beforehand by the Lerains and it was left with the ceremony to begin.There was a lot of activity going on in the Lerain family mansion as servants could be seen moving quickly and carrying out their duties, decorating the mansion and arranging the r
The Favoured Son of Heaven Unparalleled Prodigy!
Mana was the energy in which mages used to cast their spells. Thus, the more mana one had, the more powerful spells he will be able to cast. A mage without mana was like a gun without bullets; both wouldn't be that useful to anyone. Thus, all mages tried to increase their mana capacity to allow them to become more powerful. Memphis stood in front of the white mana crystal. Taking a deep breath, he place both hands on it and closed his eyes. "Concentrate on your magic," said Arius Lerain to Memphis. Memphis ignored everything and focused on himself like he had been taught. Slowly, there was a light blue glow emanating from the crystal. Irias Lerain took out a small device and held it near the crystal. Numbers started to appear on the device as the crystal continued to increase in intensity. The room was solemn as everyone waited hopefully. After all if you had four elements with gold Affinity but didn't have much mana to support it, you would be lacking in terms of strength. "10 unit
The Favoured Son of Heaven Learning spells 1
A week had passed since Memphis' crazy Awakening ceremony. Of course Ralph too had undergone his Awakening ceremony and when he met Memphis he was ready to brag about it."Memphis, could you believe that I awoke the Lightning element? And I have a gold Affinity for it too! I even awoke an Innate ability and an Innate body! I'm awesome right?" Memphis shook his head at his friend's antics. He didn't want to pop Ralph's balloon of happiness. He would probably have a seizure if he heard that he awoke four elements, had gold Affinity for all of them and awoke all innate characteristics on top of that!The Lerain Mansion was very huge and had a lot of open space for training and dueling. There were five different spaces, all for training and duelling. One was underground while the other four were to the North, south east and west parts of the mansion. Currently, Memphis was with his three Uncles, Talis, Philip and Donlan with his aunt Maureen tagging along. They had decided to take some t

The tournament (4)
"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

The Tournament (3)
[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

Freeing the captives (2)
"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

Freeing the captives (1)
Stu Harper was a very smart kid. Even without anyone telling him anything, he was somehow able to deduce why Hannah, the chief's wife was being stared at like that.He was in a state of shock. Who would have suspected the chief's wife to be kidnapper? Unfortunately it was the truth. He felt very lucky.Stu remembered the times that be and other kids in the village will recieve sweets from the chief's wife. All the kids in the village liked her. How could she do this? Stu could not fathom it.Memphis sighed. He was surprised too. Of all the analysis and deductions he had made, he had never included the chief's wife. Memphis remembered a term in the police circles back on earth. They always said, don't put a crime past anyone. From a child to a an old man, any could be a potential criminal. This situation had confirmed it.Of course, the ones who were shocked the most were Old Zayn and Hector. Old Zayn heavily sat on the ground and kept muttering. Hector meanwhile kneels before his wife

Culprit
The masked woman clicked her tongue in annoyance. She had been tricked by the boy and was now standing on a movement restriction formation. There were many kinds of formations. The basic ones required the Mage to draw the circles and diagrams of the formation along with runes. This was a very tiring process as the drawn formation had to be inch perfect. If there was a lopsided circle, a wrong rune or any outside interference, the rune was bound to spoil.There was another type though which belonged to the rich and elite. This was called an irregular formation. Thus, the formation has already been made and the only thing a person needed to do was to get someone to activate the properties by stepping on it. In terms of space or coverage area, hand drawn formations were the best. Some could span as wide as 100 meters. Irregular formations though were movable and had less chance of failing as the formation had already been made expertly. Chief Hector had long noticed the signal and be

Trap
"Whoever is behind this has seriously crossed the line!" Hector fumed. It was almost midnight but he and his wife couldn't sleep.How could they sleep when their only child was kidnapped? You may not understand it until you become a parent yourself. The pain of losing a child and an only one at that was far painful than any form of cruel torture inflicted on the parent. Whether Benjamin was alive or dead, not seeing him for the past hours had been very tough for his parents.Hannah had regained her composure but she sat quietly on the bed, hugging her knees. Earlier, after the trio had gone to bed, he had to go out of the village to unwind, leaving behind fiery destruction before he calmed himself down.After a pause of silence, Hector spoke in a grave tone."I have to go to the city and request the services of a more powerful mage than I," "No that's dangerous. The people of the village need you, Hector. If you leave and anything... happens, what would we say? The... incidents don'

"Hahahaha, the idiot didn't kill me," Laren laughed weakly as he regained consciousness again. The sun was high in the sky, beating down upon him with a vengeance which made his wounds hurt more.His clothes had been destroyed, with a little more than rags covering him. His long hair stood on end while huge cuts and burn marks were all over his body. The greatest damage though was his chest area which had recieved the direct impact of the spell.Had it not been for Laren's high level, clothes which could take the attack of a Commander beast and a defensive artifact coupled with a chaos spell, he would have died from the attack.Every inch of Laren's body was racked with pain as he feebly tried to rise but collapsed again. The only good thing about the attack was that it had not crippled him. Had he been crippled and unable to use magic, that would be unacceptable.Seeing he couldn't get up, he reached for his storage ring which surprisingly worked and took out the communication ball

Benjamin goes missing
After the initial shock of them being Beginner Mages with the rare elements of Lightning, Blessing and Light, the trio were being treated hospitably by the Village head and his wife. Of course, the women who spotted them earlier on came to check on them to see if they were alright.Memphis and Ralph willingly helped out Hector by accompanying him and other men in the village to the small wood to gather sticks and twigs as firewood for the household. They were used by the part time maid who came regularly in the mornings and noon to prepare food. Whenever the chief took Memphis and Ralph there, he and the other men entered the nearby woods as he was confident that the two could at least defend themselves with magic. Besides, the village was not far off and the boys could reach there in no time.Due to this, Memphis and Ralph had long gotten the pieces of wood needed. Memphis was carrying the load with his space element due to no one being around. The other kids would come later but f

Memphis smirked and glanced at Ralph and Cathy. "How good is your acting?" he asked."Fairly good. I think I could pull it off," replied Cathy. "Fairly good? I'm the master! This is going to be a piece of cake," Ralph boasted.In the distance, their sharp eyesight could make out the village. They could see children at play, chasing balls and kites, mothers sitting in the open and gossiping, the earliest men coming from work and the perfect sunset to finish it off.The trio exchanged smiles. "Time to put our plan into action," smiled Memphis. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Three women sat around on stools, probably done with work and exchanging juicy gossip. The eldest one among them leaned over and was sharing gossip with her friends."– and he's now got a kid to deal with! Poor Jonah, he took that fall bad-" "Look yonder, who are those kids?" one of the women stopped the gossip's tirade and pointed at three kids who looked around wearily.
