The Chronicles of a Mage God

-St Paul Hospital; London, England.-In a rundown hospital in the slums of England, a young man with bald head and rough face lay down on a bed with his face facing the ceiling.Flies hovered around him and Mosquitoes sucked his blood. His skin was rough with festered wounds all over his body. The sheet used to cover his bed was dirty.A normal person would vomit on the spot on seeing such a sight but the young man didn't mind. His face was blank without any expression. The reason was simple. According to the Doctor, he would die this week.Lukas had been in this hospital for the past 5 months. He had been transferred from Major hospitals in the country to this rundown hospital.Pounds upon Pounds had been spent in order to heal him but to no avail. After exhausting all the funds his parents had to heal him, they died from stress and overworking.Lukas knew that there was no cure for the illness he was suffering from. He had already resigned to his fate. As a person who'd been sick f

It has been 2 weeks since Lukas left with Tasha to join the military academy. The registration process was smooth. He was given a card with his details on it. Since he had no last name the name Lukas was the only thing printed on the card. His age was set to 10. After all the necessary procedures Tasha left him; she had her own business to attend to.Lukas was sitting on a chair in a classroom. There was a male teacher in front of him. There were also four children around the same age as him in the classroom. He was being taught how to read and write. The teacher was easygoing; he cracked jokes here and there to make the kids less tense. They had to be literates before they joined the main academy. All students in the academy had to be literate. Lukas paid serious attention to what was being taught. It was absolutely necessary for him to be literate. Information about this world was in the library, and he couldn't learn about them if he couldn't read; so he made literacy a priority.

-Zik Capital City, Aegis Empire-The capital city of the Aegis empire was bustling more than usual. The cars were 10 times the usual number that usually drove the roads. People of different races filled the streets walking in different directions.A middle aged man and his son were among the people walking on the streets. The usually vacant road they took home was filled to the brim. His son, no older than 7 years noticed the unusual bustling of the city and turned to his guardian."Papa, why are there so much people on the streets today?"The middle aged man smiled at his son and replied."It's the awakening test today.""Awakening? What's that?" The boy asked; his face filled with curiosity.The middle aged man frowned. Damn this son of his. Him asking this question meant that his son rarely paid attention in class. This was basic knowledge that should have been drilled into his son's brain. He made a mental note to meet with his teacher the next day."It's the test taken by most ki

As Lukas walked towards the room, he could feel all eyes on him. Lukas paid them no mind and continued on his way to the room. He soon got to the room, disappearing from everyone's sight.Entering the room, Lukas found himself facing three people, 2 men and a woman. There was a table in the middle of the room; a transparent orb on it. One of the people seated broke the silence."Come forward, put your hands on the orb and try to feel the mana in it. The brighter the orb the higher your score. Go on, start."Lukas went and did as he was told, his heart pounding. He put his hand on the orb, closed his eyes and felt for mana.There. He could feel it. There were stars in the vast world he found himself in. Each of the stars were tied to each other by a thin white thread. Lukas started to untie the threads tied to the stars. As he untied one of the stars it let out a light in the space he was. 1 star, 3 stars, 7 stars. Lukas soon found himself lost in a trance as he kept untying the threa

Lukas woke up to the sound of his alarm ringing. He turned over and turned off the alarm before looking at the time on the clock. 7:20 am. Lukas lay on his bed for a while before taking off his nightwear. He put on his bathrobe and entered the bathroom to take his bath.He awakened as a Mage 2 days ago. Today was the day he was leaving the academy. He had been planning for this day since he entered the academy.He studied intensely and took 1st place in every monthly exams held. He had accumulated a total of 3 gold from the exams as he spent his money sparingly. 3 gold was 30,000 coppers. It was a huge sum for him. He had already packed all his clothes the yesterday. There wasn't much to pack though, just a couple of shirts, jeans and his shoes.Lukas exited the shower and dried himself off. He wore a black shirt, black jeans and white sneakers before grabbing his backpack. He took one last room at the dorm. It had been his home for the past 4 years. He felt grateful to the militar
