Chapter 399 - 399: Alicia? (1/2)
Gazing at his pale and tiny hands, Derik was sure the strange illness which took the life of the youth was gone but he still felt weak in spirit.
”This world is stuffy” Derik muttered as he tried to pull the mana in the atmosphere but there was none within!
A world without any concrete source of mana is a nightmare for all mages. Even someone like Derik who had once reached the god realm was terrified of this, especially since his soul was already damage and unlike the past when he was at his peak, he was barely worthy to be called a mage here.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click for visiting.
Bam!
Another piercing pain assaulted Derik's head causing him to fall on the ground once again as countless images flashed across his eyes all in an instant. This time it wasn't the memories of his past life but of that of this world.
Lucia Alexis is the second son of the Alexis family main branch, a big time noble family in the kingdom of Kedus which was just a level five kingdom in the Pelgas empire. Lucia was born with extraordinary talent and brilliance which made him excel in all aspects of his education, but he was born with a weak body. As time passed on, the strange disease plaguing him intensified, preventing him from attending classes like others his age. His parents hired a private tutor but soon he also got even weaker and couldn't stay conscious for long hours.
His elder brother, Chole was quite different. He lacked Lucia's brilliance but he made up for it with his combat skill and strength. At a young age, Chole had joined the military and after a few years of service, he has ordained a knight of the Kedus royal family, successfully becoming one of the three great knights of Kedus, only inferior to the royal imperial army.
The reason the Alexis family has grown so fast and well was solely due to Chole's efforts and for that reason, he was already declared the family's successor. Lucia's sister, Alicia at this point could be considered the black sheep of the family. She excelled at nothing and her grades in education have always been poor and all her focus was pinned on parties, social events, and wooing of noblemen. At this point, the family was just looking for a way to marry her off.
”What a normal family” Derik frowned. ”Too normal for my liking” He added as he took off his white garment, revealing his emaciated body.
He could feel his body recovering but very slowly due to his werewolf side but even that was greatly suppressed here. Gazing at the mirror, Derik felt a bit disgusted by his appearance and began devising plans on how to improve himself.
After spending almost half a century in his previous life and reaching the realm of a true god, Derik's pride would not let him settle down and become a mere scholar.
Not in this life and not in the next!
