Invitations had been sent and it was answered by every noble in the land, viscount Philip Lurande the man behind the party or would call it the host of the party was in the upper chamber greeting VIPs of the occasion. “Don't you see what is happening? It's a party and I want to let everyone know that this is an astonishing accomplishment” Viscount Philip Lurande said while letting out a huge laugh. And there was Aiden Vermillion, a charismatic young man six feet tall, the last of the bloodline of the house of Vermillion known for their distinguished white hair and blue eyes and considered by everyone as a weakling. He worked in the healing department of the empire and even though he had no social status he worked himself off and made a breakthrough in an elixir.

CHAPTER TWO
“Aiden,” a female voice called out as he answered, “Yes Mother.” The faceless woman stretched out her hands calling for a hug as he went in to hug her then she said, “Never forget who you are, you're my son and the last of Vermillion. You're one of a kind.”He opened his eyes with the sound of the party still ongoing as he looked sideways to his right he saw his father-in-law with his wife as they walked off into the main mansion. Aiden gave out a loud sigh and rested his back on the chair while looking up and said to himself, “What do I do now?” With that sentence, he began thinking of his life and how far he had gone.From long-forgotten royals of ancient times, the house of Vermillion was once the most powerful in the whole continent. They were feared far and wide in every corner of the continent, their name echoed on the borders of other continents.

“Oh, I recognize the man in bed with my wife. ‘Final Nevadale’ from the upper house of Nevadale', it was him my wife chose to be with, and all this time I thought she was having a hard time but she was actually with another man.” Aiden said to himself as he stood up from the chair he was on.“What are you going to do now?” Finral asked as Aiden kept his head bent still trying to hold back his rage and pain. Elizabeth got up from the bed dressed herself and ordered Finral to do the same, as they kept dressing up Aiden walked up to Elizabeth and touched her but she retracted and then pushed his hand off her shoulder. She turned looked at Aiden with a mischievous smile and asked, “What are you thinking?” Aiden looked at Finral and then back to Elizabeth as he said, “I was expecting an apology, maybe an explanation. Probably your father set you up for this, I know.”With a hysterical laugh, Elizabeth looked at Aiden straight into his eyes and told him, “This wasn't my father, it was me
CHAPTER FOUR
Finral looking at Elizabeth took one step back and then asked, “is that necessary? We already made everything look this way, can't we just let him burn?”Elizabeth took Finral’s hands and pulled him out of the room then told him to light it up on fire. Still in doubt and fear Finral used his mana ability to create a fire in the room but before he did it Elizabeth went back inside and stabbedmAiden close to the chest which made the injury not too severe. As they ran off the flames engulfed the whole building most especially the room Aiden was in, with pain in his chest Aiden pulled himself to a corner in the room with blood dripping from him.Regret and anger raged inside him as he kept giving heavy breaths as he gave himself counting down to his death, with the amulet in his left hand he held it close to his chest as he gave out a faint statement, “I wished I could make you proud Mother” His hand that held the amulet fell off to the floor as he passed out....As Elizabeth and Finra
CHAPTER FIVE
Aiden's heart kept beating in his chest as he wondered if all of this could be real because just moments ago he was a weakling, orphan boy and was not sure about his purpose in life and now out of nowhere he has been given stats like he was a character in a video game and equipment he had never heard of such as speed, mana, abilities, and equipment.Aiden kept trying hard to process all of it but none of it made sense as he wondered why the system chose him, and was surprised because he had always been an ordinary boy struggling with life challenges but not someone with super abilities or hidden powers.Aiden stood up slowly as he tried to test if the system screen would appear back but nothing happened. He kept wondering if there was something inside him that he didn't know about or was there some secret tied to his past or his grandmother's death.Aiden began to breathe heavily as he needed answers for all these questions running through his head but didn't know who to ask.Aiden gl

Lloyd and his gang stopped for a moment while turning to face him.Lloyd and his guys let out a mocking laugh."Look at this little hero, you think you can stop us boy?" Patrick hissed."Brave but foolish, what do you plan to do? Fight us? With what?" Lloyd said with anger."Relax Patrick, this won't take long. After I'm done with him, he will be added to my slave trade," Lloyd said mockingly with ego.Aiden's mind raced for a second and he began to doubt his abilities. What was he doing?
