Jeremiah looked at Kingston and his father, who were both on their knees, and he couldn’t believe that they were actually doing that.

Those were two men he had great respect for, but there they were, lowering themselves to him like they saw him as someone far better than themselves.

Why was that?

He looked at the bodyguards that were on both sides of the wall and saw how they too were on their knees, bowing their heads to him, chanting “All hail Lord Crimson!” and only one thing came to mind.

Who was this Lord Crimson person?

It looked like they were chanting the phrase to him as a form of praise/worship, so does that mean that he was the Lord Crimson person?

But how?

He was Jeremiah, an unemployed twenty-five-year-old soon-to-be-divorcee whose mother died of a heart attack minutes after waking up from years of being in a coma, who also just found out that his father was the king of an entire kingdom, so are they saying that there was more to him than that?

    At the far ends of the world, news of a dragon king with the power to bring prosperity to his people or cause havoc to his enemies started going rampant and the other kings who felt threatened couldn’t let such an entity exit. They bounded together and using the combined power of their mages, who used black magic and human sacrifices to increase their powers exponentially, they created a spell to seal Crimson in a prison his body could never escape from. The spell worked and just before the imprisonment could be completed, Crimson told his adoptive son, who was the descendant of the retainers/priests who took care of him as an egg for many generations, that he was going to be reborn again as that was the only way to escape the imprisonment spell. To be exact, the way to break the spell was with something of greater power and the only thing of greater power in Crimson’s arsenal was the energy used to trigger his reincarnation.Since reincarnation was basically a godly power that man

    “What’s this?” Jeremiah asked as he stared at the ring in the box. “This, my Lord, is the power ring” Reginald replied. “The power ring? What’s that?” Jeremiah asked. “You see, after Lord Crimson imbued his essence into the first king to begin his reincarnation cycle, he focused all his power into one point and forged this ring so that one day when he finally returned, his power would be safely stored and ready to be taken back. Once you wear this, your power will gradually return to you. Your strength, speed, mysticism, and finally, your ability to transform into your original self, the mighty dragon who rules above all. The more of your power that you absorb from this ring the blacker it gets and when everything has been completely absorbed, the ring will break apart as you become whole again,” Reginald said, and Jeremiah groaned. He crossed his arms and looked at the ring, then he looked at his father, who believed everything he had just said even though it sounded extremely ri

    It was love at first sight, and he knew that she was who he wanted to make his queen. She didn’t have the wealth of his soon-to-be bride or the class or the reputation and power of her family, but he didn’t care about any of that.He wanted her and nothing was going to stand in his way. Not even his wedding. Having a tough decision to make, Reginald thought about what he should do for days, and the closer it got to his wedding, the more stressed he became because he wanted to fulfill his father’s wishes, but he knew that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he let Lauretta go.With that, the decision was made.Reginald canceled the wedding and everyone was left dumbfounded as to why he did that. The father of the lady he was to marry was furious. He tried to challenge Reginald’s decision, but that was a stupid mistake because you do not challenge the king. Reginald had every right to use his power to destroy the man and everything he had ever worked for, but he decided t

    After hearing the truth about his family’s past, and everything that led up to him being in his current situation, from Reginald, Jeremiah’s eyes widened. “You can turn around and leave this place right now if that’s what you want. After all, you are our Lord, and none of us can stop you from doing whatever you desire, but as your subject and, most importantly, your father, I suggest that you stay and take up your rightful place, my Lord” Reginald said then he went on his knees and stretched the box with the ring in it to Jeremiah. “Whatever you decide shall be respected, my Lord,” Reginald said and then bowed his head.Jeremiah looked at everyone in the room and how they were all bowing their heads to him then he looked at Reginald who seemed very earnest. Jeremiah looked at the ring inside the box and asked “You said that wearing this ring would bring back my powers, right?”“Yes, my Lord” Reginald replied. Jeremiah groaned.“Okay then,” Jeremiah said then he reached for the rin

    The first guard to get close sent a punch at Jeremiah’s head and Jeremiah caught it. He twisted the guard’s hand, spraining his wrist and the guard exclaimed in pain.Next, Jeremiah kicked the guard in the stomach, sending him flying towards Reginald and Kingston, skidding and stopping by their feet.The other nineteen guards didn’t pay attention to their comrade who was sent flying and continued to attack.They threw punches and kicks at Jeremiah but he easily evaded and parried them then took them down one by one. In one minute twenty strong and tall guards attacked Jeremiah and in that same minute, they were defeated, lying on the ground, grumbling and groaning in pain.“Is that all? I thought we were just getting started” Jeremiah said, the blood in his veins pumping with power and adrenaline.Jeremiah looked at the guards standing by the walls, and asked, “Who’s next?” and they all jolted.After seeing what he had done, none of them wanted to step forward and take up that chall

    “So, my Lord, where should we start on our tour of the estate? The golf court behind the castle or the greenhouse to the east. We could also start at the planetarium if you’re interested in those types of things. Don’t tell Master Reginald that I told you this, but that is his favorite part of the estate,” Kingston asked as he and Jeremiah walked down the corridor that led to the throne room. “Why is that? Did he want to be an astronaut at one point in his life or something?” Jeremiah chuckled, but then he stopped when he saw the serious look on Kingston’s face.“What is it?” Jeremiah asked.“Master Reginald had that place built shortly after he thought that your mother and you had died in the accident he heard over the phone. He would go there every day and look up into space, trying to find where Lord Crimson could have come from, but he could never find it. I mean, who even knows if Lord Crimson was from space?” Kingston said, and Jeremiah grimaced.“What do you mean? I thought th

    Since he wore the ring and his powers—the little that did— came back, Jeremiah’s vision had become far greater than normal.From the distance, he could perfectly see the people inside the two sports cars, and they were all young. They looked like they were about the age of just starting college.What were such young people doing on the estate? Jeremiah wondered. Jeremiah also heard rap music blasting through the speakers of the cars and making noise everywhere as they drove to the front of the castle.It was like they didn’t respect the environment they were in and looking at the servants' faces after the two cars appeared, Jeremiah could see that they too didn’t like it.Jeremiah also saw the servants carrying on with what they were doing like they were used to what was going on and couldn’t do anything about it, which made everything click to him.Only someone close to the King would be allowed to drive into the castle like that, so Jeremiah realized that the people on their way to

    The group in front of Jeremiah and Lynette consisted of two guys and two girls, all barely escaping their teens.Immediately, the faces of both guys became one of amazement after getting a good look at Lynette, whose beauty eclipsed the girls they had come with. Who would have thought that they were going to see someone like her on their visit to the estate?Just then, one of the guys with blonde hair named Benson, licked his lip as his expression became lecherous toward Lynette. He grinned from ear to ear as he broke off from his group and stepped closer to Jeremiah and Lynette.“Who knew that a servant could look like you? Wow! I’m impressed,” Benson said as he slowly circled Lynette, his hand on his chin as he checked out the maid’s body with a lustful gaze.“What’s your name?” Benson asked Lynette from behind her.“Umm, Lynette. Lynette Ross,” Lynette answered hurriedly, looking and sounding uncomfortable at what Benson was doing.“Nice to meet you, Lynette. My name is Benson Cl

    With each passing second, the turmoil and fear in the hearts of all the maids standing there increased to new heights. Jeremiah, having never been in this type of situation before, was clueless about what to do.As someone who had spent his entire teenage and adult years being looked down upon by all the people around him, Jeremiah had gotten used to not being and also not being seen as a threat or an object of fear and intimidation to others.Things changing to what it was now felt jarring and Jeremiah was left not knowing what to do to quell the situation. “Umm…” Jeremiah said but stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked to the side and saw that it was Reginald holding him. “Dad?” Jeremiah mouthed.“Don’t worry, My Lord. You’re still new to this and until your past memories come back, you’ll have some challenges ruling over people. Fortunately, you have me to help” Reginald smirked. Jeremiah looked at the crowd of maids then he looked at Reginald and calmed down.

    Seeing Jeremiah transform before their eyes was like watching a scene from a movie, but with the most spectacular special effects imaginable.The color and texture of his arms changed, becoming scaly in appearance and possessing a toughness almost equal to steel. They also grew longer, with the muscle fibers becoming more prominent, while the fingernails lengthened and turned completely black.Speaking of his fingernails— which could be called claws at that point— they looked sharp and hard enough to effortlessly slice through flesh and even cut through bone like marshmallows.Jeremiah's facial structure also went through some changes, becoming less human-like— sharper and wider to be exact. His teeth grew longer and sharper, his ears elongated like elves’, and his eyes…His eyes completely changed in color and shape, taking on the appearance of a reptile’s, with a dangerous black-and-gold tint that sent chills down the spines of everyone who met his gaze.If this were a video game, b

    The maids all looked in the direction Reginald was gesturing at, their eyes as sharp as eagles as they tried to see who Lord Crimson was. They had never been more interested in anything than they had been in this particular topic since it was brought to them. After all, who wouldn’t be interested in finding out the validity of something that had been a major part of their life growing up? After looking for a moment, all the maids could see were Jeremiah and Kingston—no one else. Confused, they glanced away from the two, wondering if Reginald had gestured in the wrong direction.There was clearly nothing in the opposition direction too so they didn’t even bother looking there. Instead, they looked among themselves and pondered if Lord Crimson hadn’t come to the room yet. Still, that didn’t make sense because the look on Reginald’s face was that of someone who was certain that Lord Crimson was where he was pointing. However, their eyes told them otherwise—so what on earth was going o

    The maids glanced at the guards, who, as they realized while panicking about their throbbing tongues, had remained straight-faced throughout the entire ordeal. They then groaned, grateful for the clarification Reginald had just provided.“Only a select few didn’t experience what you all did but do not be offended by that,” Reginald said, drawing the maids’s attention back to himself.The few who didn’t feel the discomfort on their tongues because the secret spell wasn’t cast on them were Bruce, David, Kingston, Reginald, Obadiah who casted the spell, and of course Jeremiah. The maids could figure out the identity of the people Reginald was talking about and weren’t offended by it. Rather, it made them more curious about what Reginald was going to tell them that was going to shake their worldview.“The sensation you all felt was the result of a spell called The Secrecy Spell. Its purpose is to make sure that none of you can relay what you’re about to find out in this gathering to some

    All the maids started reacting to the sensation they were having on their tongues, wondering what was going on.Was it in all their heads or was something actually physically happening to them? Some reacted calmly and level-headedly to the strange sensations their tongues were experiencing, while others panicked. However, they were all concerned and worried about their tongues suddenly acting up.“My tongue. What’s happening to my tongue?!” Said one of the maid who moved her tongue around her mouth, trying to understand the strange sensation she couldn’t explain.It was like the tongue was throbbing, getting hot, itchy and numb, all at the same time, which didn’t make sense and was something that had never happened before. “You’re feeling that too? I thought I was the only one. What’s going on?” Said another who brought out her tongue and touched it, not feeling the throbbing or hot sensation on her finger which made her think that she was imagining it but that didn’t make sense be

    Jeremiah used to think that the platinum debit card he got from Anthony, the manager of Polaris Bank, was the highest form of debit card anyone could get and use for his/her transactions. However, here he was finding out there was an even greater level than that. The Black Debit card.This was a card that only one bank in the entire world provided its customers. In fact, the bank only provided the Black Debit card to its customers and only on the condition that they meet certain financial criteria that 99.999% of the world’s population would never reach.A customer has to have at least ten billion dollars in cash before they can open an account with them and once opened, the Black Debit card is provided.The name of the bank was Sentry Bank, and there were fewer than seventy people in the entire world who had an account with them—Jeremiah being one of them.“I had always planned to have you abandon your current bank account and opt for the new one Kingston was going to create for you

    After watching Lynette and Elizabeth leave the throne room and the door get closed, the four men who were once having a meeting before being interrupted, returned to that. “I never would have guessed that what just happened would happen when we started this meeting a couple of minutes ago, but I’m extremely happy that it did” Reginald said and Jeremiah groaned.“His Majesty is right, My Lord," Obadiah said, making Jeremiah look at him. "With Miss Lynette's knowledge of the past and her claim of having taught you not just a simple magic spell but the most complex and powerful one in the world, she will be of greater help to your growth in magic than I ever could."Jeremiah thought about what the shaman said and grimaced.“You’s right, she might— no, she will be of greater help to my magic training than you can.” Jeremiah said, making Obadiah to smile prematurely. “But, she also said that it will take a while for her powers to come back after she’d resurrected for the first time in a l

    Hearing what Lynette had just said, Reginald, Kingston, and Obadiah—who remained silent—were all relieved yet shocked that their hypothesis was correct. Granted, Jeremiah had been the one to come up with the hypothesis, but they had all believed in it.Now, this revelation brought about even more questions they struggled to articulate, especially since Lynette was no longer the maid they once held authority over.As a being very similar to what Jeremiah was, Lynette—who had existed for centuries—didn’t have to answer to anyone if she chose not to, and her behavior so far, speaking to the king and Kingston like regular people, made that abundantly clear.“Even I was confused when she woke from her rest and claimed she used to be close friends with Lord Crimson before his reincarnation. At first, I wondered how that could be possible, given that Lord Crimson’s reincarnation took place centuries ago. But the honesty and conviction in her words made me curious to know if she was telling t

    Jeremiah watched Lynette and Elizabeth walk to the front of the throne room where he and Obadiah were, all the while staring at Lynette and trying to wrap his head around why she seemed different yet so familiar.“What’s the meaning of this, Elizabeth?” Kingston asked then he looked at Lynette and grimaced. He too had noticed that something was off about her. For starters, she didn’t seem as shy or timid as how every maid on the estate act when they are in his or, most especially, Reginald’s presence. Kingston groaned then focused his attention of Elizabeth once more.“Who gave you the permission to interrupt a meeting between Master Reginald and young master Jeremiah and bring one of you protégés?” Kingston asked. Elizabeth quickly bowed her head to Reginald— her body trembling.“My apologies, your majesty! It was never my intention to interrupt your meeting like this—“ she said but Kingston cut her off.“Good intentions or not, it doesn’t change the fact that you did what you did
