Inside the King's throne room, a heavy mood was inside everyone as they were in the most problematic situation. The butler was worried as they will be in dire straits. "The Empire got us, we must retaliate!" Shouted one adviser.The butler was just silent all this time and councils were all clamoring and discussing. "What should we do? We are in dire straits!" The leader of the council said to the others."To think that the Empire is already this strong, our Lords were taken captives!" "The war near the Almeria village was the deciding factor. We are caught unguarded by their troops. To think that we engaged in a clash with lesser troops!" Said their General."Though we escaped, only a few Lords remained, others were captured!" said another councilor. "We are losing. Still, we must not yieled." Said the King himself. The King was silent, until he said his command, "Call forth the Prodigies! They are our last hope," The King thought that their last hope was his prodigy children

Rein stood before the mirror, his eyes steady and resolute. He tightened the straps of his backpack, a plain-looking but sturdy bag, with a normal dagger sheathed neatly on its side. Its grip was slightly worn, yet polished, he had sharpened and cleaned it thrice the night before. With a deep inhale and an even longer exhale, he focused his mind. Today marked the beginning of his academy journey. He wasn't nervous...he was excitedBefore stepping out, he adjusted his training weights, increasing them by twice the usual resistance. His arms and legs immediately tensed at the burden. It would be a long walk, but he preferred it that way. He descended the wooden stairs from his quarters and arrived at the dining area. The aroma of hot soup greeted him like a warm memory. Sitting calmly was his grandfather, Ren, a stoic figure with graying hair and strong eyes that had seen both war and peace."You should hurry. The school opening will come soon," Ren said, sipping the soup with deliber

Rein was excited as he watched the students undergoing the awakening ceremony. The altar was brimming with a bluish aura that could be felt even from where he stood. The Priestess stood at the awakening altar, assessing the students as they awakened.This was when he was still twelve, at the very start of his academy life. All his experiences would be tested while he was still in his youth.He screamed inside. He was nearly losing his cool.But on the outside, he could only smirk.All he could see now were the Seven Emperors, currently present at the ceremony. He bit his lip as he watched them from afar.He felt sweat dripping down his forehead, his excitement was getting out of hand.The Priestess had finally finished her preparations for the awakening. She would now help the students discover their classes.In Rein's memories, there were six primary classes one could awaken:Warrior, Guardian, Scout, Mage, Dark Mage, and Shapeshifter. "I will now call your names one by one. As I ca

The air inside the arena buzzed with excitement. The audience was louder than ever, and Rein found himself folding his arms while watching the field with narrowed eyes.The next match was about to begin—and this one was different.The crowd's reaction was unlike anything so far. Students and even spectators from the upper viewing decks were on their feet, shouting a single name like thunder."Roan! Roan!"Renji scoffed lightly, leaning against the rail. "Hmmm, interesting."Still, even he couldn't deny the pressure that came from the center of the field. There stood Roan, clad in noble robes trimmed with regal red. His sleeves shimmered faintly with a spell-forged sheen, and his long coat was tailored in the design of the prestigious Clayheart Household. The red accents danced like embers with every step he took. On his back rested an elegantly carved sword, its scabbard lined with glowing crimson veins, pulsating as if it had a heartbeat of its own."Why does he look like he's walki

After the fight, the youths began to cry. They did not expect to live and thought to die in the last moments. "Hey mister, please become our master! Or even our Lord!" Said their leader with a red bandana."Hmm, let me see the village. I am your Lord after all." Rein said to them and he shuffled his bag. "Here, I have the papers that were given by the King."".... what!?" They all shouted. Looking at each other, they all smiled and went in glee. He rested and was glad after seeing some of the villagers. He saved them and so, he was escorted to the village. The youths were glad to be having a Lord at last and were excited to introduce him to the village elder. They moved on and then guided him towards the village. It was a fun journey with them as they were highly energetic as they have a Lord now. They arrived at the hills where they could see the village below. It was a magnificent scene where they could see the grass swaying on the winds. As well as a great view from afar where y
