NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Twist
" Where....where am I? "
He voiced out, slowly opening his eyes, a moan escaped his lips, He looked around, suprised to see himself laid in on a bed, the entire room was designed luxuriously, He quickly rose up to his feets.
Still looking confused, that's when the door opened up.
A maid rushed into the room with a worried look on her face, blonde haired and extremely beautiful, despite being dressed in the maid's uniform, it wasn't possible to hide her heavily endowed blossom.
" Young Master, You shouldn't be up already, you should be resting by now " She spoke out.
But he became even more confused!
" Huh? Who are you? " He asked.
" Young master? Its me, your servant Ellyn, It seems the assasination attempt took a huge toll on you, I should contact the physician right now " She answered, she turned to leave when he held her back!
" Young master? " She called out.
" You keep calling me young master, will you stop calling me that? " He demanded, a puzzled expression appeared on her face, She had no idea what is going on, He released his grip on her, she moved back a little.
Careesing her wrist!
" Was the young master always this strong before? " She silently mumbled!
" You said your name is Ellyn right? I'm quite confused, I need you to explain somethings to me, Where am I? and who I am? " He asked, he walked towards the opened window, receiving the fresh air.
" Are you really asking that question? Young master? you are the tenth son of Duke Erald Reinhart, Kyle Reinhart and where you are, this is the Werlock Castle, your home " She answered, still looking confused.
" Do you really not know where you are? " She asked.
" Yes, It seems I lost my memories from the damages of the assasination attempt but can you tell me how I got here? the last place I remembered was standing soaked in the rain, bleeding out " He said.
" Oh? you were on a mission to pay Baron Ashard Von a visit but we received a report that they were Assasins sent against you, the Castle's guards immediately rushed to your aid but when they found you "
" The guards you followed were all dead, the assasins were all dead but you were alive, only unconcious so they brought you back to the castle " She answered.
" Oh? I see, well that's understandable " He stated.
" Ummmm young master Kyle, may I ask you a question? " She spoke out, He tilted his gaze, facing her direction with a smile seen on his face.
" Yes, what question do you have for me? " He asked.
" When you were found unconcious, your body was found before the corpse of one of the assasins sent against and you held a blade, Did you really used a sword? " She asked, he noticed the change in the atmosphere.
His eyes squinted, filled with curiousity.
" Yes, is that a problem? " He asked, the moment he answered her question, her face brightened up, filled with extreme joy. If she wasn't a maid of a noble family, she would have screamed out in joy.
" No, not at all young master but this calls for celebration, this is the first time you have ever used a sword even though the Reinhart Family is a sword family, many people sees you as a defect "
" But this is really a good news, I should tell everyone " Ellyn answered, nearly screaming out in joy, He watched as she ran out of his chambers, but the moment she left the room, He fell on his knees.
His teeths gritted aggressively, he tightened his grip on his chest.
Throbbing veins spread vastly across his body, his eyes twitched, becoming reddened every minute, dark veins spread across his body, He could feel his bone screaming out in pains, his heart racing.
" Argggghhh....It hurts, It hurts "
" It fucking hurts, what the fuck is this? " He screamed out in pains, within seconds, the air was overwhelmed by the eroding dark mana which scattered into the air, He gnashed his teeths, still struggling with the pains.
Its more like his entire body is burning from within.
" Now I know why wielding a sword really is something suprising, to think I would be trapped in a body that's not only weak but cursed, fuck it....." He yelled out, still struggling to withstand the overwhleming pains.
He has been in pains since the moment he woke up but he has been holding it back because of the maid, If she had stayed any minute more, he won't have been able to suppress it anymore, every second.
His body burnt.
" What is this? Black Magic? Ancient Magic? I don't fucking care, the owner of this body, your victim is already dead, since I'm the new owner, the fucking shit stays in this body no longer " He spat out.
Screaming out in pains while struggling to stand up to his feets.
The moment he fully rose up to his feets, a magic circle appeared right below him, and the entire chamber was covered in dark mana, the air burned intensively, both his nose and his eyes bled, his mouth wasn't an exception.
He bled from every hole in his face when he slapped his chest without hesitation.
" To think I would be in pains just because of a petty low level dark magic, I'm Astroth Vermont, the strongest mage to ever walk the earth and the Slayer of Gods, something little can't hold me down "
" Ancient Magic: Serie Fur Release'l " He chanted out loud.
Within seconds, he felt his entire body breaking down, He fell heavily on his knees when he took a deep breath, the pain vanished without a single trace, He breathed out loud, trying to recall himself back.
" For this curse to be this effective, it means it has been in this child since the day he was born, who would do something so atrocious by cursing a baby? Its quite a pity to think this child died without knowing what held him back "
" That curse made this body pathetically weak, It will take me a lot of time to become used to this body, but first, I should learn about this world I'm currently in " He said to himself, he turned his gaze.
He made his way into the bathroom, he glanced at the mirror hunged on the wall.
He stared at his reflection, silver haired and cerulean blue eyes, a beauty that could charm the hearts of many, He took a deep breath, after a few minutes of checking himself out, he made his way out of the bathroom.
" I only used a simple ancient magic and it took a toll on this body, If I'm going to fight against those bitches, I need to become stronger....strong enough to take back my position as the Slayer of Gods "
He spoke out, making his way out of his chamber!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The neighing sound of a horse was heard, making its way into a castle, the horse halted right before the castle, and the horseman came down from his horse, He is dressed in a knight's armor.
With his sword's scabbard hunged by his waist.
Just judging by his suit of armor and the symbol created on his knight's armor, He is a knight of the Reinhart Dukedom!
He swiftly entered the castle before him, the guards whose duty were to guard the entrance of the castle bowed their heads before him, opening the door and ushering him into the castle.
It didn't take him more than five minutes before he arrived at his destination, he walked into a throne room and he halted, he fell on his knees.... bowing his head before the figure sitted in the darkness.
" Young master, I bring thee news "
The Knight voiced out, still on his knees.
" News? Is the bastard dead? " A question was asked from the darkness, a pair of red glowing eyes fell upon the knight but the entity remained covered in the darkness!
" That would have a good news but no, the tenth Young Master survived " the Knight answered!
" He survived? But how is that possible? those assasins hired were experts weren't they? did they spare him? " Another question was asked by the voice.
" No, the two assasins I hired were both found on the scene, their corpses were brought back to be investigated, the tenth Young Master was found by the knights of Werlock Castle and he was returned back to the castle " the Knight answered.
" Tch, I wasn't expecting failures, but I guess that petty brat was lucky this time " the Voice uttered.
" I'm sorry young master but that may not be the case " the Knight spoke out.
" Huh? What are you talking about? "
" It was reported that when the tenth Young Master was found, he laid right before the corpse of an assasin and with a blade in his hands, It is reported that the tenth Young Master made use of a sword " the Knight explained.
" Huh? What did you just say? That's impossible "
" That bastard, where is he now? " the voice questioned!
" The tenth young master has returned back to the Werlock Castle "
