Inside Duke Alaric’s study…

He stared at the letter before him, a look of confusion clouding his face.

"Aaron’s background is so poor… His mother was a slave, and his father, just a Baron in name. So where did he get the resources to cultivate to Knight level at such a young age?"

His eyes narrowed as he read further.

"It’s also mentioned that after returning from the Dark Forest, his strength changed drastically. He even wiped out a bandit group and saved Maria, Duke Augustine’s daughter."

Alaric fell silent for a moment.

Then he chuckled bitterly.

"And here I was thinking Aaron came from a powerful lineage."

But his amusement faded.

His gaze turned bone-chilling cold.

"So… he deceived me."

He paused.

"No, not exactly. I never asked about his origins. I simply assumed."

He leaned back, troubled.

"But… I can’t allow him to attend my daughter’s marriage ceremony. If he manages to win her over, what will I say when the nobles question his background?"

"They’ll say I betrothed my daughte

  • To Raven Shore

    Aaron thought for a moment before speaking. “Melina, there is a change of plans. We will head to the Riverbend Kingdom first. You all will settle there for a day or two while I deal with personal matters. Then we’ll return to Verdia Kingdom to resolve your affairs.”Melina bowed her head respectfully. “Lord Aaron, please handle your personal matters first. Mine can wait."Aaron nodded. “Alright. Let’s hire a boat.”Edrin interjected with concern. “Aaron, I don’t think any boat will be going to Raven Shore right now. It’s already the sixteenth day of the month. The boatmen won’t risk traveling, portals might appear, and the undead could attack.”Aaron smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, Edrin. The undead won’t attack anymore. Can you find someone willing to sell us a boat?”Edrin hesitated. “We can go to Venti. He might be the only one willing to give us a boat. But we’ll need to recruit a crew.”Aaron shook his head. “No need for a crew. Just a small boat will do. Do you know the way to Rav

  • Reason

    Aaron raised his finger, and a fireball shot forth.Moria reacted instantly, shoving Alaric aside. The fireball exploded against the wall, shattering stone. Dust and debris rained down.Alaric’s composure shattered. His face twisted with terror as he looked at Moria. “G… Grandpa M… Moria… what kind of sorcery is Aaron using?"Moria had lost his composure. His wrinkled face was etched with deep worry as he muttered, “If I am not wrong… Aaron may have become the mysterious wizard. And I have a very bad feeling.”At that moment, Aaron’s voice thundered across the castle grounds, echoing for all to hear: “Duke Alaric, tell me why you captured my friends. If you cannot give me a valid reason, then from today onward I will wipe out you and your entire family from the Verdia Kingdom.”The words rang with arrogance to those listening. Both Alaric and Moria felt the sting of insult. Anger surged in Alaric’s chest, though he forced himself to remain calm.With a treacherous smile, Alaric rose.

  • A Fateful Encounter

    After healing them both, Edrin introduced softly, “Aaron, this is my wife, Emily.”Aaron inclined his head politely. “Hello, Miss Emily.”Emily smiled warmly. “Sir Aaron, it’s good to meet you. For once, Edrin has made a good friend.”Edrin gave a hollow laugh, while Aaron simply smiled. Then his tone grew serious. “We’ll talk later. First, I want to know why they tried to capture you both.”Edrin and Emily nodded silently.At that moment, Melina stepped closer, her sword still in hand. “Lord Aaron, do you want me to force their confession?”Aaron thought briefly, then shook his head. “No need.”His gaze swept over the soldiers. “Who is your commander?”The men exchanged nervous looks, then all turned toward a figure clad in full iron armor.Aaron’s eyes narrowed. With a wave of his hand, the vines he controlled surged forward, dragging the armored man before him.Aaron studied the iron helmet, then raised his hand. With Mage Hands, he removed it effortlessly.As he did, a realization

  • Molard

    Within the grand halls of Duke Alaric’s Castle, the Duke sat with a gloomy expression, eyes fixed on the report before him. Less than a month had passed, yet Aaron had already recruited a team of Great Knights under his command.Worse still, the report revealed that Aaron hadn’t even bothered to visit Alaric’s men, he had dismissed them without allowing them to reach the Green Fort.Alaric’s face darkened. In twenty years as Duke, never had his people been treated with such disregard. Wherever his entourage went, even Duke Theodore’s territory had shown respect. But Aaron… Aaron had humiliated him. His voice turned cold. “Grandpa Moria, summon Commander Molard.”“Yes, Master.” Moria replied respectfully.Fortunately, Commander Molard had returned to Starfall City that very day, fresh from patrolling the borders and slaying monsters along the way.Moments later, a man clad in iron armor from head to toe entered the chamber. He knelt on one knee. “Lord Alaric, please give me your order

  • Stella 3

    Melina was stunned when she realized Stella had lived for at least a hundred thousand years. Compared to her own youth, Stella’s timeless beauty filled her with envy.Aaron, however, looked troubled. “Miss Stella, please get up. Don’t embarrass me. I have no interest in alchemy at all.”But Stella shook her head firmly. “No, Master Aaron. Unless you accept me as your apprentice, I will not rise.”Aaron sighed, conflicted. He knew the truth, alchemy was costly. Each recipe demanded vast amounts of experience points:- Tier 3 recipes: 100,000 points to learn, 400,000 to perfect.- Tier 4 recipes: 5 million points. - Tier 5 recipes: 10 million points.- Tier 6 recipes: 100 million points. - Tier 7 recipes: a staggering 1 billion points.Just thinking about it chilled him. Yet Stella was a Tier 7 powerhouse, with a hundred thousand years of knowledge. Refusing her outright might waste an opportunity.After a moment’s thought, Aaron said, “Miss Stella, I can agree. But you must not ask m

  • Stella 2

    Her words hung heavy in the air. Then she continued, her voice colder still:“By the way, Makaret’s mentor is no ordinary figure, he is a Demi-God realm, a Tier 9 existence. Even if you die, your souls will be dragged out of hell itself, and he will toy with them as he pleases. The length of your torment will depend on the depth of the karma that stains your souls.” The four elders stiffened, their faces paling. Stella’s words were not mere threats, they were a reminder of the inescapable fate awaiting those who had committed unforgivable sins.Aaron turned to the Rose Guards. “Melina, come with me. It’s time to solve your problem with the royal palace.”Melina bowed solemnly. “Yes, Lord Aaron. But… won’t this bring you trouble?”Aaron shook his head. "No trouble. Let’s go, we shouldn’t waste time.”She followed behind him, obedient and resolute.Aaron suddenly stopped, weaving a spell. The Tier 3 Feather Fall consumed 70 Mana Points, and his body grew light as air. He cast the spel
