CHP 1: Dual Bound Existence
Consider this my final gift as your father."Then Severin slowly clenched his outstretched hand.Causing Azrael to release his final breath. The light in his eyes gradually faded as his body fell lifelessly to the ground.Severin stared at Azrael's corpse for a few moments before taking out a communication talisman and sending a message to one of his most trusted guards.After a short while, the door opened and a figure dressed in a dark hooded cloak entered the room. His face was mostly hidden beneath the hood, and his presence was so quiet that it was almost as if he had appeared out of nowhere. He bowed respectfully toward Severin."You called for me, My Lord?"Severin didn't waste any words."Dispose of this body in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, and do so discreetly. Leave no traces." He said while gesturing towards Azrael's corpse lying on the floor."Understood." The figure gave a firm nod before stepping forward. Bending down, he hoisted Azrael's body onto his shoulder and v
CHP 2: Mother's Condition
Several days earlier…Rain poured heavily over the Valcroy estate, drenching the stone pathways and shrouding the surroundings in a gray haze.Outside the Family Head's manor, a young boy could be seen kneeling silently beneath the relentless downpour. His entire body was drenched by the rain, his clothes clinging tightly to his frame as cold winds swept through the courtyard, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.The lone figure was none other than Azrael Valcroy, the eldest son of the Valcroy family head.However, that title meant little now. After failing his awakening and being unable to manifest even the lowest grade elemental affinity, he had become known as the trash son of the Valcroy family.He had been kneeling there for over four hours, hoping to obtain an audience with his father—the Family Head. Yet despite his efforts, he was treated as though he didn't exist.Just then, the sound of the manor doors opening rang out.Azrael quickly raised his head, a flicker of hope appe
CHP 3: Swallowing Pride
“Mom!” Seeing the blood dripping from her lips, Azrael's face paled. For a moment, he froze, staring at the blood staining the sheets as panic gripped his heart.Then he hurriedly rose from his chair and rushed toward the door.“Nana!” he shouted urgently. “Nana, quickly!”Just then, an elderly woman dressed in a maid's uniform hurried down the hallway as quickly as her aging legs would allow."Young Master Azrael, what happened?" she asked anxiously the moment she reached him."M-My... my mother..." Azrael stammered, his voice trembling as he pointed toward the bed.Seeing the panic on his face, the elderly woman immediately understood that Helene's condition had worsened once again.Without wasting a second, she turned around and hurried away.As she left, Azrael returned to his mother's bedside and tightly held her hand.At that moment, he felt utterly helpless. Watching her suffer while being unable to do anything about it felt like a knife twisting inside his heart.The room fell
CHP 4: Lick It Clean
Both of them turned toward the source of the voice.A young man dressed in luxurious robes was walking toward them.The moment Mirabelle saw him, a warm smile blossomed on her face. The newcomer was none other than Lucien.Azrael's expression, however, immediately darkened. He had never had a good relationship with this half brother of his.By the time Lucien reached them, a smug smile had already formed on his face.He casually wrapped an arm around Mirabelle's waist and pulled her gently into his side, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.The gesture seemed deliberate, as though he wanted Azrael to see it.Mirabelle didn't resist in the slightest. Instead, she leaned comfortably against him, resting her head lightly on his shoulder."He wanted me to speak to you about his mother's condition," she said casually. "Apparently, she doesn't have much time left without proper treatment.""Oh… I see." Lucien raised an eyebrow before glancing at Azrael.He was naturally aw
CHP 5: Banquet
After a while, he finally pulled back and rose to his feet, having finished licking the shoe clean.Lucien glanced down at his shoe in exaggerated admiration, as though inspecting a masterpiece.“Wow…” he said with a chuckle. “I didn’t expect your tongue to be that thorough. I must say, this is the cleanest I’ve ever seen this shoe in a while.”His grin widened. “I guess you’re not completely talentless after all.”Azrael ignored the taunt entirely.“Ive done what you asked, now get my mother the treatment,” he said firmly. “She doesn’t have much time left.”“Huh…” Lucien tilted his head slightly, as though genuinely confused. “I think there’s been a misunderstanding here.”Azrael’s brows furrowed. “What misunderstanding?”“I never said I would get your mother treatment if you licked my shoe clean,” Lucien replied casually with a shrug. “I said I would speak to Father on your behalf regarding her condition.”He glanced at Azrael with a faint smile.“And we both know how that’s going t
CHP 6: Memory Fragments (1)
A panicked voice suddenly shattered the quiet atmosphere. Azrael was pulled out of his thoughts and turned toward the source of the voice.In the distance, Nana was hurrying toward him as fast as her aging legs could carry her.The moment Azrael saw her face, his heart skipped a beat. Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.A sense of unease immediately rose within him. He quickly pushed himself to his feet."Nana... what's wrong?""Y-Your mother..." Nana's voice trembled. "Your mother..."Her entire body shook as she struggled to continue."Nana, what's wrong with my mother?" Azrael asked, his voice becoming noticeably urgent.But Nana couldn't answer. She lowered her head as tears continued to pour from her eyes.The moment he saw her reaction, a terrible premonition gripped Azrael's heart. Without waiting for an explanation, he immediately turned and sprinted toward his mother's room.—-------Azrael rushed into the room, his breathing ragg
CHP 7: All a lie
When the scene reformed, Azrael found himself standing in a dimly lit room.Helene was lying on a bed, her body drenched in sweat as painful cries escaped her lips. Several women hurried around her, trying to assist with the delivery.After what felt like an eternity, a baby's cry finally echoed through the room."It's a boy!" one of the women announced with a smile as she carefully handed the newborn to Helene before leaving the room with the others.Azrael slowly walked closer, his gaze falling on the tiny infant in his mother's arms—his younger self.For a moment, he simply stared, a strange feeling washing over him as he looked at the person he once was.Then—Bang!The door suddenly burst open.Azrael turned around and saw Severin stepping into the room.The moment Helene saw him, a warm smile appeared on her pale face. "It's a boy," she said softly.But Severin didn't react in the slightest, instead he simply stretched out his hand and in an instant, the entire room was swallo
CHP 8: Ancient Evil Relic
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall, Severin, who had been casually conversing with the guests moments earlier, suddenly paused. The smile on his face vanished as he expression suddenly became serious.Without explaining himself, he rose from his seat. "I'll be leaving first. There are some matters I need to attend to."Leaving those words behind, he turned and walked out of the hall. None of the guests dared question him. Nor did they dare ask why the Family Head was leaving so abruptly.Moments later, Severin's figure shot through the night sky like a streak of light, heading straight toward Helene's residence.When he arrived, the first thing he saw was Azrael.As if sensing his presence, Azrael slowly turned his head toward the door. Standing there was Severin.For a moment, the two of them simply locked eyes, neither saying a word. Then Severin's gaze shifted past him, landing on Helene's lifeless body lying on the bed.Seeing that indifferent expression on his face, Azrael's hands tr
CHAPTER 9: Treasure
Only then did he turn his attention back to Azrael.He stretched out his hand and Azrael immediately felt his throat tighten. An invisible force wrapped around his neck and slowly lifted him from the ground.Azrael clawed at his throat, struggling for breath as his feet slowly left the ground.Severin looked at him indifferently."You know, had you kept your mouth shut and pretended to know nothing, you could have lived out the rest of your miserable life in peace."His voice remained calm, as though he were discussing the weather."A smart man knows there are truths he shouldn't touch and secrets he shouldn't uncover."Severin took a step forward."Unfortunately, you chose neither."Azrael glared at him through bloodshot eyes, hatred burning within them."Tell me, Azrael," Severin continued. "Did you truly think I would let you walk away after this?"The invisible force around Azrael's neck tightened further."Still..." Severin's gaze briefly shifted toward Helene's lifeless body lyi
CHP 10: Breaking The Balance
He slowly opened it to see what was inside, and the moment he did, a surge of elemental essence burst out, spreading through the surrounding area.Inside the sack were two translucent fruits that glowed faintly with energy.Azrael’s eyes widened slightly.Then, almost instantly, he closed the sack.“We should leave this place quickly.”The sudden surge of elemental essence was bound to attract both humans and magical beasts.Three minutes after they left, a brown bear suddenly appeared at the scene and began sniffing around, searching for the source of the earlier surge of elemental essence.It was still looking when a green-eyed leopard emerged from the trees.The moment they noticed each other, their gazes locked, and without hesitation, they lunged at one another, breaking into a fierce fight.—-------“I think we’ve gone far enough. That cave should make a good hiding spot,” Azrael said, pointing toward a cave not too far ahead.“We’ll refine the treasure inside, then I’ll leave t
