Chapter-1<The Mysterious Letter-1>

A man was sitting in a big hall. This hall had 7 thrones in total. Six of these thrones were placed in front of each other in pairs of three thrones. While the last throne was the main throne. This throne was grander than the other thrones and was placed at the end. It was clear that the throne belonged to the leader of the other 6 thrones.

Currently, a man was sitting on the main throne. He had a very huge body. He had a very handsome face. The man looked that the thrones in front of him with pride…

That smiled at then started thinking…

'Finally, I, James Tyrion, the sole heir of the Tyrion family and the most powerful Warrior in all Faction had vanquished all of my foes. All those who had wronged me are now dead or worst enslaved. Now there is no one in the faction that could match my power. All the founding houses of the Faction are dead too…' the man thought.

"LORD JAMES!" suddenly a beggar came into the throne room. The beggar was wearing old dirty clothes and looked like he had not eaten for several days. He was so thin, frail that it looked he looked as though the wind alone would be capable enough to blow the man away.

"You…" the man on the throne said calmly as he looked at the beggar.

"Lord James, you have imprisoned me and tortured me. Please spare me… Please." The beggar begged in front of James.

"*HAHAHA*" James laughed hysterically as the beggar begged in front of him.

The beggar's name is Jarad. He was the young master of one of the founding families of the Faction. When James was little he was always bullied by Jarad. But now things are different. And James was very happy as he witness Jarad begging in front of him. He felt as though he was on top of the world.

"I have conquered Jarad, my worst enemy. Now I will conquer thousands of beauties for my harem… *Mu-HAHAHA*…" James laughed. And then soon the throne room was filled with thousands of women who all were naked. They all waited their turn so that they could serve James and get a chance to touch James's manhood who roared like a young dragon.

'This is what life should be like.' James thought as he looked at the young woman in front of him.

It was then out of nowhere some cold water was splashed on James's face and he woke from his dream…

…

James opened his eyes annoyed as he was having a very great dream when someone splashed cold water in his face. And he knew exactly what to expect when he opened his eyes…

"WAKE UP JAMES! You will be late for your train. I have told you a thousand times that you should go to sleep early so that you can wake early. Haven't you heard the early bird gets the worm? I have already made your lunch. I have packed your bags and checked whether you have everything you need…." And she went on and on…

James loved his mother very much. But she could be a real pain in the ass sometimes. James turned 15 years old this year. That essentially meant that he was now a man. He can go to war if he wants. And this essentially implies that he could do all of this on his own. But she still insists on doing his chores that he didn't need any help with. And then she would reprimand him for how lazy he was…

"Mother the train leaves at 4:00 pm sharp. I have plenty of time to get ready and pack my bag. You didn't have to do it you know." James said annoyingly.

"Oh, so you think you are a big man now, huh? I know you better than you know yourself, mister. You would get up late and then pack your bags. And then you will forget about something then you would message me from train saying…" then James's mother started imitating James in a high squeaky voice.

"Mother I forgot my runic magic 3rd edition. Could you send it via mail? And mother I forgot to bring my copy of the magical creatures cards… Could you please send me that too?" James's mother said while imitating him.

"I don't sound like that all," James said while being more annoyed.

"You sound exactly like that in my head. If you want me to get off your back then get land a decent job and get the hell out of my house. And then I will permanently get out of your way." James's mother said.

James just looked at her and stopped speaking. He knew that if he insisted and argues more with her then they are bound to start fighting. And he didn't want that. He was leaving for his school today. And his school is hell it is. He didn't want to feel bad while in school, just because he couldn't handle some taunts from his mother.

James then got up from his bed. He then went to the toilet to freshen up…

…

After James had freshened and changed into new clothes he came down from his room to have a special breakfast with his mother. As he came down he saw that the breakfast was full of things that he liked. There was Meat pie, jolly jelly, Goo pots, etc, and much more. Seeing all this stuff a smile appeared on James's face. He sat down in his chair and started munching on the delicacies that his mother had prepared for him…

While on the other hand, James's mother just sat by another chair and just looked at him devouring his food with a happy face. But then her face turned serious and she started making some conversation with…

"You know, I met a Faith reader the other day." James's mother said while he was concentrating on food.

"Mother those people are just plain old scammers. No one in the world could see someone's faith or future… All of this is just bullshit." James said while he was having some delicious Goo Pot.

"Language! In this household, we do not say those kinds of words… Anyhow that Faith Reader was different. He didn't ask for any sort of money from me. He just stopped me and started asking whether I have a son." James's mother said.

"And?" James asked.

"And he made a very interesting prophecy about you!" James's mother said while looking concerned foreshadowing that maybe the prophecy may not be a positive one…

"What did this prophecy say?" James asked.

"That man said that this year, my son's faith will take a big turn. This year my son will flourish. He would become so strong that even Gods will watch his progress as he grows." His mother said but still, she looked concerned.

"You don't seem happy about such a positive prophecy?" James asked.

"Well, that man also added that the progress that my son will make will be because of a devil. He said that you will be seduced by the promises of the devil. And you will become his servant. That devil in return will grant you all the power that you want. But in return, he will have you by your neck for the rest of your life." James's mother said with concern.

"Is that so?" James said with a chuckle

"Don't laugh about it. This is a very serious matter. James, I know that it is very difficult for you to survive in your school. I know that you dream big, but please remember, never make such a decision that could harm you in a long term." His mother said.

"I will be fine, mother. And yeah, I will not be seduced by any devil. Unless that devil is a she…" James said mischievously while looking at his mother.

"Eat your damn food…" his mother said annoyed when he didn't show any concern about her concerns.

…

After having breakfast, James went back to his room. Inside, he double-checked the things that his mother had packed. After he was sure that everything was in order he sat down on his bed.

Just by his bed, there was a photo of his mother and a bearded man. James looked at the bearded man and started remembering the days when his father was alive. He still remembers that his father always would train him and helped him get his mother off his back. He was like his best friend.

His father was Legovich of the Tyrion House, one of the founding families of the Faction. Being a Legovich essentially meant that he was one of the candidates for the next Head of the house. But after his death, the whole Tyrion House changed their behavior toward him and his mother.

When he and his mother used to live in the Tyrion Complex, James used to think that the complex was a very warm and happy place. But after his father's death, he realized that the complex is not very different from a battlefield. Every person is ready to gut the other person for their personal gain.

After his father's death, his family started showing their true colors. And one day both he and his mother got fed up with their family member's antics. His mother and he eventually left the complex and started living here. It was then James made a goal that he would show those Tyrion household bastards that he is a force to reckon with. He knew that he would get awakened one day and get the ability to feel and utilize mana one day or another. And then he would quickly get stronger and have his revenge.

His father was awakened one and so is his mother. That essentially meant that he would get awakened eventually. When he got awakened he was very happy. But it was soon he realized how naive he was. Even amongst the awakened ones, some people are special while others are plain old trash.

For example, Jarad Fullbody. He is a son of a Legovich of the Fullbody household. He also got awakened at the same age as James. They both went to school together and were kind of good friends. But Jarad was a very talented young man. And he soon left James behind and got so strong that James could only see him from the sidelines.

Both James and Jarad are in their third year. But James had only ascended to Rank-2 while Jarad had ascended to Rank-7. There is a difference of 5 ranks between them. And James had no faith that whether he would be able to close this gap between them.

James hated Jarad. They were once good friends, but after he ascended, Jarad started bullying James. And there was no apparent reason for his behavior. He just likes to boss around the weaker people than him. And James was his permanent and beloved target.

Jarad is also one of the reasons that James's school life had been hell…

…

James then passed some time while reading random books. And soon the clock struck 2:00 pm. This was his cue and James started to bring all of his luggage downstairs. There he saw his mother standing with a jar full of Honey treats. James smiled at his mother and took the jar full of Honey treats from her hands.

His mother had already called a wagon for him that would lead him to the train station…

While in the wagon alone, James started thinking about his life. He wanted to get strong and make his mother and father proud. But alas his body didn't support his dream. His body couldn't progress any faster. That is why he was still at Rank-2.

While thinking about his life, James then eventually remembered the prophecy that his mother told him. He started thinking about whether it would come true or not. If it were to him, he would accept the devil's offer without even thinking about it.

His mother was right to be concerned about him. He was a greedy man and he wanted power and fame. And who could blame him, aren't all the people just like this? How was he any different. He also had a right to dream. He also had aspirations…

While lost in thoughts, James eventually came to the train station.
