Inheritance

Did Demitrian have any excuses to refuse?

He couldn't help but think of the professor that taught him Spirit Casting. He was an old Warlock with a foot in the grave. He saved a young Demitrian from a beast and raised him from that day.

He taught Demitrian how to survive, how to study and mentored him to become a Warlock.

Then finally came the day when the old Warlock decided to teach his secret and hoped to share it with his adopted child and student. He didn't hide the secret regarding the taboo of Spirit Casting, and the age in which everyone was hunting Spirit Casters.

Demitrian wasn't a brave person and turned away cowardly.

He refused the old Warlock and depicted that he only wanted to study the wonders of Shadow Magic. However, once he met a plateau in his power, he had no choice but to ask for help and slowly realised how great the power of spirit casting was.

He proactively inherited the old Warlock's legacy and became a Spirit Caster.
