Awakening

The Villain's Rhapsody: Evolution to godhood.

"Stay back Jared, I will use Holy Flash."

The receptionist leans closer to Lucas's face and kisses his forehead. The bright golden light engulfs Lucas's body. His body begins to twitch while absorbing the light.

"I think it's working! Do it again!"

Jared shouts. Lucas has been comatose for about half an hour. The receptionist managed to give him first aid. But because he hadn't woken up. His pulse and heartbeat were so slow, that it felt as if he will die any second. She decided to use stronger spells. However, she can't use them too many times. Seeing that Lucas slowly begins to regain consciousness, she kissed his forehead again. Bright light engulfs his body one more time.

The receptionist was out of breath. She sits on the ground and leans to the wall. Lucas slowly opens his eyes.

"W-where am I? W-when am I?

'Did he just ask WHEN?' Jared was confused. He starts to think that Lucas became delusional. So he quickly grabs some water and pours it on Lucas.

"What the Fuck dude?" Lucas shouts after getting water splashed on his face. He quickly regains his consciousness and stands up. Lucas was all wet and irritated.

Jared and the receptionist looks at him with curious eyes. They can't understand, how a regular memory check-up, turned into a situation of life and death. They both stare at Lucas. Lucas's left eye changed color. Suddenly, his eye shines gold. Lucas was dry again. As if Jared splashing water on him never happened.

Jared's and the receptionist's curiosity turned to confusion. 'How did he do that?'. There were no signs of magical energy coming from Lucas. And Lucas was as confused as Jared and the receptionist. He glanced at his palms and noticed that both Uruboros tattoos were gone. 'I see. Original Lucas has broken the seal. Did I just use the time magic?' Lucas looks at those two and asks.

"Can you guys lead me to the exit? I don't feel well"

The receptionist nods, but Jared asks him. Even if they can't check whether the kid is really royalty, but whatever he did to dry himself is indeed some sort of unique magic. And if he proves that the kid has a unique magic to the guild, he would probably get a salary raise or even a promotion.

"Are you sure? Don't you want to get your magical affinities and talent checked?"

"Yes. I just want to go home and rest. I don't have an ID card to prove my identity anyway."

"No, no, no! Kid, it's fine. Come! You can give your ID the next day. And I already brought the crystal ball, so it would be a waste if no one used it!"

The receptionist looks at Jared with a confused expression. 'What the hell is he talking about? We can't do a check-up without knowing his identity!'. She was afraid of going against the rules. She begins to stutter.

"A-are you sure? W-wont we get in trouble?"

Jared looks at her with a smile on his face. He shakes his head and takes Lucas's hand.

"Of course not! Chill, Liza. In the worst-case scenario, I will just take the responsibility! Haha! Come with me kiddo"

'What the hell does this guy want from me? Oh god, coming here was a mistake...' Lucas begins to regret his decision. He follows Jared to the crystal ball and puts his hand on it. Suddenly, the transparent crystal ball turns completely black. It soon changes color and turns orange. Then it turns dark gray, after that white. And lastly, it turns to gold. Black - represent darkness, orange - represent curse, dark gray - represent shadows, white - represent necromancy, gold - represent holy magic.

"Are you fucking serious?!?" Liza drops her jaw. This was the first time, she saw someone awaken five elements. Not to mention, all of them had S rank amount of energies and talent. If a twelve-year-old has five different affinities, it already means he is a prodigy. Having an S rank talent means that his capability of learning spells is basically infinite. Lower rank talent means he can learn fewer spells. And S rank energies mean that he can use much stronger magic spells.

Jared nods and smiles. He knew something was different about this kid. This proves it. The elemental kingdom has another prodigy.

"So, kid. Do you have a phone?" Jared asks Lucas.

"No, I don't have enough money for food, how can I have a phone."

*Cough* *Cough*

Liza coughs to get Lucas's attention. At first, she was afraid of going against Hall's rules. However, now that she knows that Lucas is a prodigy, her fears were gone. She knows that the hall is on a search for powerful magicians. This misconduct not only will be forgiven but also rewarded.

"Hey, Lucas. I can give you my phone. It's nothing too fancy, but it will be fine for calls and browsing the internet. Do you want it?"

Liza removes her sim card from the smartphone. And gives it to Lucas. Lucas's eyes sparkle from excitement. In his current life, Lucas never had a phone. She also takes a few silver coins from her pockets and extends them towards Lucas.

"Here, one silver should be more than enough to buy a new sim card. Just top up it with another silver coin, and use the rest to buy some food and clothes. Think of this, as my investment into your future"

Liza had a gentle smile on her face. She looks at Lucas's bright red face and giggles. 'Such a shy boy!'

After that, Liza and Jared directed Lucas to the exit. They agreed that Lucas will come back on Monday after school. Lucas bought a new sim card and went home.

Three days passed soon, as Lucas was playing with his newfound magical abilities. He was learning new spells and realized that he has a good talent for it. He could use shadow magic and turn himself invisible. Dark magic, to use teleportation. Curse magic, to inflict pain and illusions, holy magic to heal himself and others. Also with holy magic, he was able to enhance his own strength. Necromancy, to summon pretty powerful spirits. However, the time magic was tricky. He learned skill, that was extremely similar to teleportation. He could return to the place he was standing up to 1 minute ago. He could also return himself to a state that he was in a few seconds ago. So even if he is dying due to a fatal wound, as long as he can use the spell within a few seconds, he can cure himself completely.

Monday morning. Lucas got up, took a shower, and got ready for school. During the walk, he trained himself using time magic. He walked slowly and often transferred himself a few seconds back into the past. 'Learning time magic is so hard.'

*Elemental school of Fire Dragon*

Near the entrance of the school stands two people. A young man and a child. Isaac and Lilith. Lilith keeps making lots of hand gestures and shouts.

"Daddy, I don't want to go to school! I want to stay with you!"

"Lilith, stop being so spoiled! you need to learn to act like a human! I can't teach you that!"

"No! Humans are stupid!~"

Lilith shows her tongue to Isaac. Isaac sighs as he understands that he is the one who raised her this way. 'I spoiled this girl, way too much

"About a month ago, you asked to have a human friend!~"

"Blah, don't remind me, daddy!~"

Lilith has a disgusted expression on her face. Isaac kneels on one leg and pats Lilith's head. She closes her eyes and starts smiling.

"Look, Lilith. Some humans are kind and worthy to befriend!

Lilith looks at him with doubt in her eyes, then she starts playing with her purple hair. She hated humans ever since they killed her pet, Terry. Luckily, Isaac revived it. However, she did not trust humans ever again.

"Humans will hate me!"

"Why?"

"Because I hate humans. Blah! They are stupid!"

She once again shows him her tongue. Deep in his thoughts Lucas slowly walks by without noticing those two. Suddenly, he caught Lilith's attention. Even Isaac looked at Lucas with curiosity. 'Something is different about this human. I wonder what?"

"Daddy, who is he?"

Isaac tries to read his mind. To his surprise, he can't. Something blocked him. 'Huh? What the fuck?'. Then he looks at Lilith and answers her

"How should I know, dear? I don't know every human that exists on this planet!"
