He had been framed, his soldiers had been killed and his family had been exiled, it wasn’t long before they came for his head too. His fiancé had sold his family secret just to get back at him and his best friend had shown his true colors while also revealing the real nature and goal of the tyrant king he had spent his entire youth serving. There was no escape, he was a sinner who was detested by the civilians he protected at the frontier, of course he had to die. There was no time to check the right and wrong. Those who should be executed shouldn’t be left standing. Death visited him and claimed his life, but it never took him away. Instead, he was thrown back to six years when all the chaos hadn’t happened and he wasn’t even a general talk less of a sinner. His fate could be rewritten. But nothing was ever easy, he woke up in the body of a good-for-nothing man who was six cities away from his former city, the city he found himself in was the third poorest city in the whole empire. How was he supposed to stop the tyrant king, his two-faced best friend and his disloyal fiancé who were determined to get control of the whole empire even at the risk of innocent people? And stop another chaos from ensuing in the empire. They stood at the top while he was at the bottom. Not to mention that the first challenge he had to surmount was a vicious family who blinded him as soon as he regained some comprehension in his new body. But nothing had ever stopped him before, he was a stubborn man who was resilient even in the face of death.

    Chapter 1: Don't Eliminate The Tyrant Heir of the Arcane Hall.

    “What do you think you are doing?!” A man’s stern voice cut through the quiet night, he adjusted his stance and moonlight flashed on the steel of his unsheathed enchanted sword.“What else?” One of the men standing opposite him said, it wasn't a question, it was quite obvious what they were all up to.“It is time for him to die! All of his misdeeds are out in the open, there's no use in hiding behind the closure of this big house!” Another voice followed the first, spurred to bravery by the first speaker’s mockery.“There’s no need for you to try, even if you wanted to protect your master like the loyal dog you are, he can't escape this one, lackey Rex!” The burly guy who spoke next, took a step forward and the men behind him also followed him, their weapons ready in their hands– they had all sorts, ranging from swords, sabers to spears and machetes.Rex's eyes went over everyone in the courtyard and exhaled silently, even if he wanted to protect his Lord, there's simply no way he wou

    Chapter 2: He Would Submit.
    Malek regarded the man in front of him and he gritted his jaw grimly, the man still refused to answer him since he entered.He, along with his minions, just stared at him like he was a show.“You must think that you are still it. Even when you are near death, you are still putting on airs and acting mighty in front of everyone!”The Young Lord continued to stare at him blankly, his shoulder was squared with his back straight, his stance screamed nobility and authority as he stared straight into Malek’s eyes, but still he didn't talk.The dirty silver and black jacket and trousers he wore didn't undermine his elegance, it contrasted to the calm look that made his composition shine through.“Once this sword is buried deep in your head, then maybe you would learn to use your mouth to beg for your life.”He finally scoffed. “You aren't among the list of people I would beg if I have any intention of asking to be spared,” his voice was firm but all Malek heard was the arrogance that resonat

    Chapter 3: A Better Fate
    The birds were chirping, there was the sound of bustling people, a faint smell of the sea accompanied by the warmth and smell that could only belong to a cozy place— no, that was impossible.There was no way he was alive, that he was breathing and if by some weird unfortunate luck that he was, the smell that was supposed to welcome him was something along the line of grim dirt, dried blood, rotten flesh and stale food. That was the only smell allowed to exist at the most menacing cells of Visteria prison house.He moved a bit and furrowed his brows when he noticed that there were no sounds of jingling chains, this made him try to peel his eyes open but he quickly shut it again when bright light obscured his views.What the hell was going on?!He swiftly sat up and looked down at his clothes in disbelief, contrary to his expectations, he wasn’t dressed in the normal tattered clothes that are forced down on prisoners of the Blood Dungeon of Visteria—the only place that they would have f

    Chapter 4: Not Dealing With A Messed Up Family
    “Dad, you have to send that useless idiot away! He’s absolutely hopeless!” Elaris heard a voice as they opened the door and entered the mansion.“I agree!” Another voice confirmed.“What is going on?” Elaris turned to Caden who sighed.“They have always wanted to chase us out of the house since a long time ago,” He started explaining. “Every time you mess up, they bring it up to father and mother. I think he must be considering it now too.”“You mean our father?” He asked and Caden nodded. “Why would a father listen to such a request?”“They are at the study,” A maid said to them, and he didn't miss the contempt in his eyes when she regarded them.Caden replied as he led the way. “He is Lord Wilder, but he isn’t our real father, he’s our father’s friend that our mother married after she had us, our father died before you were born and mother died ten years ago due to a sickness. This household’s patriarch is our mother’s father, but he is at the frontier at the moment. That’s our step

    Chapter 5: All Is Alright
    “Za- I mean Elaris.” Caden called, Elaris turned to wait for him before he they started walking side by side. “Are you sure that you really want to do this?”“What do you mean by that?”“It is just that you have never wanted anything to do with other things that have nothing to do with art, you have always wanted to act, sing, and paint but never have tried to join the military or the Academy. We talked and fought about this a lot, and you have told me time without number that the thought of doing it disgust you.”“Loser,” Elaris scoffed.“What?”“I was just being stubborn, I figured out that it was about time that I man up and start doing well.” He shrugged. They stopped in front of the apartment that belongs to just both of them in the mansion. It was built separately and at the back of the house, as if to shut both brothers out of the people’s view.“It is about time you don’t have to constantly worry that you would end up on the streets because of my antics, and we should move ou

    Chapter 6: His Friends Aren't Useless
    “How can you remain so damn calm about this?! You are blind! You can’t see!” Caden’s voice was panic-stricken, but Elaris still remained calm.“I told you that it is only for a brief moment, the longest would be one month,” Elaris massaged his temple because of the stubborn man. He knew that he was being like this because of the over protectiveness he felt towards his brother and the need to take care of him but he was really giving him a headache.“Don’t you understand the gravity of this situation?” Caden stood up and paced the room. “You have to go to the Academy in two days, there’s no way you would be able to do it without seeing anything, you are already bad at combat but doing it with no eyes? Even I don’t dare to do that!”“You are exaggerating. I would go there and we would end it there, alright. It doesn’t matter if I am blind, it won’t change anything.”“No, you should stay at home. Who knows what the academy might want now? What if they used real weapons, you are as good a

    Chapter 7: The Test Aren't Lax
    Ashton kept glaring at them until they were out of view, before he immediately turned to Elaris.“Zaden! What’s—”“Elaris. Don’t call me Zaden.” Elaris said, shrugging his shoulders out of Ashton’s hold.“Oh? You decided to change your name again?” Ashton beamed. “I must say that this name is better than the former one.”Elaris tilted his head to the side at his word, no wonder nobody blinked an eye when he announced a new name. The brat changed his name every time too.“I rushed here as soon as I heard the news. What’s wrong with your eyes? They said that you are blind.” Ashton’s voice was tinged with worry.“Damn those idiots.” Caden cursed. “Nobody asked them to spread the news.”“Do you have any idea what is wrong? He can’t suddenly wound up blind. How is he supposed to do everything he had always dreamt of?”“Do you used to perform with me?” Elaris asked, Ashton shook his head before he remembered that he was blind.“No, I don’t. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t support you in

    Chapter 8 - A Blind Man Doesn't Take Tests
    “Intermediate Level.” The judge added and Ashton, along with some other students turned to look at him in surprise.“How on earth did you know that?” Ashton asked, glancing at Lila who was already walking away with a sad expression, Elaris just looked away.“Tarex Cald,” One of the judges called.“Look, Tarex is next!”“It is obvious that he would be the one that would be the topper of this exam.”“Yeah, his siblings have always won—no matter what competition they were in. I must say that Lord Cald is truly blessed.”Chatters ensued as the boy’s name was called, all eyes fixed on the young man who was walking to the judges, taking his good time.He was dressed in the finest material made from cottens that were imported into Astrad from Embrayl, his shirt and trouser suited him perfectly well and the green color e chose greatly enhanced his skin color.“Look, who’s next? He is the third child of Lord Cald, who just happened to be our first city lord,” Ashton began to explain to Elaris.

    Chapter 9: Dax Wilder is not Immature.
    “Good, serve him right, his question is the trickiest today,” Dax said with a victorious nod.“I can’t imagine him entering the Academy with us,” One of his two friends who had challenged Elaris earlier said.“There’s no need for you to imagine it. He is not going to enter with us.” Another agreed.Just ten seats away from them, a man sitting beside Tarex turned to him.“What do you think, Tarex?”He was dressed in a white material that wasn't as smooth as Tarex’s but it was not inferior in matters of quality. The difference in color just made their similarities in features prominent.The same brown eyes and brown hair was enough pointer that they were related.“I don’t know brother,” he replied. “The guy is too weird. I heard that he predicted Lila’s grade and also said that my question was the simplest of all.He might win it but I am sure that he is not going to top my score, Lan!”“Topping your score is hard, your result is Master level,” Lan said and Tarex nodded before they turne

    Chapter 10: The Blind Man isn't Arrogant and doesn't Threaten.
    “I heard that he passed, would you look at that?”Whispers started all around as Ashton took him to walk around the academy to get fresh air.“Maybe he managed to muddle through, I guess that the entrance exam is getting easier.”“Easier?” The person scoffed. “Obviously, you didn’t hear the question. I doubt that some students of the Academy would be able to answer it at all.”“Are you saying that he is smart? I have seen him, all he knows is how to behave like a clown.”“It is like a change overnight!”Ashton snickered beside Elaris who just remained peaceful as if he heard nothing they were saying.“You have become a star, everyone knows you now.”“It only means that there are many people waiting for me to fail,”“Can you be less pessimistic in some situations?” Ashton grumbled.“What’s the issue with my brother’s military prowess?” Elaris asked instead.Ashton looked thoughtful for a moment. “I don’t know if I should tell you this but I am just going to go ahead since you have chan
