For a while Leo continued reading the book his instructor had given him.Azhar gathered the half-finished rune diagrams scattered across the desk and turned toward him."That's enough for today. You can go."Leo was already preparing to stand when Azhar added, almost as an afterthought:"I have work that will take years to complete. Something that requires my full attention."His voice was low, as though he were speaking to himself rather than to anyone in the room. His expression was flat. Nothing moved in his face, at least nothing visible.Leo paused for just a moment.There was something unsaid inside that sentence. Work that will take years. Because of you. Because of the order the great general gave. Because of the magical barrier around the city.Azhar was trying to make him feel guilty.Leo saw it with such clarity that he almost smiled. But nothing changed in his expression. He simply lowered his head slightly."Good night, master."He closed the door behind him and stepped o
Chapter 102 - cyrus
Leo's feet had grown heavy.Each step made them heavier. He hadn't noticed it while he was dissolving the stones, too absorbed in the work to register what was accumulating beneath the surface, but now that the magic was gone the body had started collecting what it was owed. His muscles had stiffened as though something dense had been poured into them and left to set. The insides of his knees felt hollow and unreliable. Lifting his foot from the ground with each step had become its own separate act of will.His best guess was that his body had redirected most of the energy normally reserved for basic cellular function toward closing the gap left by the depleted magic reserves. If his theory was correct, once both his magical capacity and his physical energy had recovered, he could dissolve the same number of stones again without the body needing to compensate from its own supply. The magic alone would be sufficient.Though expecting that level of efficiency this early wasn't particula
Chapter 103
[You are 6 years old. Reading the note you found on your desk, you realized that increasing your magical capacity was considerably easier than you had assumed. Every night before sleep you now sit with a bowl of stones and cycle them back and forth between liquid and solid state. The repetition has allowed you to advance quickly. Within a single year you surpassed the rune student level and became a rune practitioner. During a conversation with your father, he learned that you had gone years without knowing the most basic technique for increasing magical capacity, and that was the last time your instructor held his position. When you asked your mothers about it afterward, you learned that he hadn't been executed, only stripped of his official rank. You are no longer a small child, and you understand exactly why he was punished. You trust people less than you used to.][You are 7 years old. You encountered your old friend Cyrus again, but the place and the circumstances were not what y
Chapter 104
Leo finished reading the system summary and raised his eyes.He was in a large birthday hall, people gathered in small clusters, eating sweets and talking in the easy way of guests who had arrived early and already found their footing. He looked down at himself and found he was wearing a black suit.At that moment, two people entered the hall.An elderly man and a small girl beside him. The man was of medium height, slightly stooped, dressed in the plain clothes of an ordinary merchant. His hair and beard were a mixed grey and white, his face deeply lined, his hands sun-darkened with thick fingers. If you had passed him on the street you would have guessed grain trader, or perhaps a retired soldier. Nobody would have looked twice.But his eyes were different. Eyes that swept across a room, catalogued everything, and skipped nothing.The girl at his side was eight, maybe nine. Her long yellow hair had been carefully braided, the only ornament a small ribbon at the end. Her clothes were
Chapter 105
While Leo watched the scene, another calculation was running quietly in the back of his mind. Should he skip time? Whether anything genuinely significant was going to happen here was unclear. And his time was severely limited. After turning it over for a moment, he decided against skipping immediately, but he wasn't going to waste his time standing around either. He made up his mind to get free of the king and his daughter as quickly as possible, get back outside, and put his magic to further use. There was also Nadia to think about. For some reason he had begun to sense that her simulation counterpart had developed a strange fixation on him in this particular world. *Wait,* he decided. At that exact moment, the king broke off mid-sentence and called the princess to his side. She stood and walked over to him. The king asked something in a low voice, pitched just loud enough that the three children could catch it. "What do you think about him?" The princess froze. Th
Chapter 106
When the three of them returned to the hall, nobody paid them any attention. The evening had found its own rhythm. In one corner, two elderly nobles stood with wine glasses, one describing the new construction at the eastern gate. Across the room, several women had crouched around a small child and were attempting to fix his hair while he tried to escape and failed. The musicians in the corner played without pause, nobody listening but nobody stopping them either.Cyrus moved through the crowd with an ease that seemed practiced, slipping between people without touching a shoulder or catching an elbow. The princess followed directly behind him, Leo at the back.A noble stepped into Leo's path and bowed."Are you the great general's son?"Leo answered without turning his head."Yes.""What a handsome child. You look just like your father."Leo turned and offered a brief thank you.He was about to move on when the man placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.Leo ignored it outwardly but dir
Chapter 107: Leo killed cyrus
Leo looked at Cyrus.Then at the princess. She had given Cyrus her full attention, eyes wide with curiosity, completely absorbed in what was about to unfold in front of her.Leo looked down at the ground.Near his feet lay a round stone. Fist-sized, with rough uneven edges.He made a quiet internal decision. The cleanest move was to remove the problem called Cyrus before he could ruin anything else in this simulation's timeline.His background was weak. A street child, an orphan, barely five years old. Given that the great general had never particularly warmed to Cyrus from the beginning, he would probably be relieved if Leo killed him. The great general had always thought Leo was too merciful by comparison. And Leo knew from the previous simulation that the great general had assembled something called the Dark Army.The great general would likely start treating his son better once he discovered the boy had a ruthless side after all.After all, a man consumed by the ambition to take ov
Chapter 108: King's oyer
For several minutes, everyone simply stood and waited for the princess to finish crying.The king set her down and touched her shoulder gently. She stepped back, still hiccupping, but no longer screaming.The king turned to the great general."What is the meaning of this, Aladdin?"His voice was flat. Neither angry nor surprised. He was simply asking.But the great general had heard the real question buried inside it. Did you arrange this?Nobles preferred not to ask directly. They liked to tuck their questions inside other questions, to imply rather than state, to gesture at a thing rather than name it. In certain circles, the indirect approach had come to be regarded as a mark of refinement.The great general owed an explanation. But he didn't know what to say, because the answer was no, and that answer immediately produced another question. Most pressingly, the king and the great general had been sitting together in the same room the entire time.He turned to Leo to give both his a
Chapter 109: trauma misunderstanding
When the great general stepped into the garden, the crowd had already pressed itself toward the trees. Some were craning their necks, trying to understand what had happened. Others were whispering among themselves.When the great general appeared, the noise faded but didn't stop entirely.A woman stepped forward, either brave or careless, the difference between the two becoming difficult to determine in moments like this."What happened? Is a child hurt?"The great general looked at her.Simply looked.The woman stopped mid-sentence, caught by the darkness of the great general's eyes. She stepped back."Thank you for this evening." The great general's voice reached every corner of the garden, neither too loud nor too soft, landing exactly where it needed to. "The feast ends here."Nobody objected. Nobody asked questions. The crowd began to dissolve slowly, but as it dispersed the eyes kept drifting toward Leo.Toward his hands. Toward the blood drying between his fingers. Toward the s
Chapter 110: 12 years old
[You are 10 years old. The great general has significantly intensified your training schedule. One day magic, one day swordsmanship, one day archery, one day general sciences.][You are 11 years old. Crimson Sand City was struck by drought. Nearly everyone who had been surviving on the streets by begging died within a few weeks. The famine lasted three months, and when it finally ended the prices never returned to where they had been.][You are 12 years old. When even the Dark Army began struggling to obtain basic food, the great general decided to investigate. It emerged that the reason prices had risen so sharply was that merchants across the country had been stockpiling their goods through the potential famine period and only bringing them to market when the supplies were on the verge of spoiling. The great general wrote a letter to the king, and the moment a reply arrived he used force to distribute the merchants' stockpiled goods to the public across the country. When dissatisfie
