Amidst the scarlet flame surrounded by collapsing buildings, there was a figure of short height, with raven black hair, brown eyes, thick eyebrows, dressed in a soft white shirt with wide sleeves, light-brown trousers, and a pair of brown leather boots. His half-kneed on the ground, beneath where his knee landed was, blood flowing like a river.
His head hung down, and there was confusion and loss in his expression. Looking at the blood like a river, he opened his mouth and muttered softly, "blood…"
He raised his head slightly when a blurry figure reflected in his brown eye. This blurry figure floating in mid-air, he was like a god observing a mortal world. All of a sudden, he senses someone gaze and look over. Suddenly, a scene shattered like a mirror; it was as if the void itself couldn't withstand his gaze.
In the silent room, a young man dressed in white pajamas suddenly jolts awake, his face pale, and eyes open wide. Fear, anxiety, and confusion flashed clearly across his features. He quickly surveyed his surroundings, trying to determine if this was not his room.
A slightly dark room, with a chandelier hanging down from the ceiling. A desk near the bed, on the desk is a crumpled paper everywhere, on the right side of the bed is a closed window with untied curtains, on the left side of the bed at the corner, stood a wardrobe, beside the door, is a table and chair with a golden-colour mirror on the wall, and a red carpet on the floor.
There are pajamas, trousers, shirts, books and pepper everywhere on the floor. The room is messy, like a palace for research or experiencing something.
He instantly realises something. He quickly got off his bed, ran toward the window, pulled out the curtains, and pulled open the window. Suddenly, warm sunlight and morning fresh air shone through the room.
After opening the window and taking in the warm sunlight, Marcus took a deep breath of the morning fresh air and said with relief, "It's the same dream again."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, a knocking sound echoed from the door, and an elderly female voice rang out behind the door, "Marcus, are you awake?"
Beside the window, Marcus, who was bathed in the warm sunlight, turned around and replied, "Yes, I am already awake."
Upon replying to his servant's questions, he hurriedly closed the curtains, and walked toward the door and opened it.
With a creaking sound, the door opens. Standing in front of the door is a personal servant of Marcus, whose name is Bella. She was dressed in a cotton shirt, a simple vest, a long black skirt, and simple black boots.There were wrinkles on her face.
A smile flashes across her face. It was gentle, and she said gently, "Your food is already prepared in the hall."
"Does it include my favourite dish, alsta-fat chicken, and also green apple pie?"
Alsta is the name of the town on the east side of the Hamberg kingdom. The chicken there is very famous; it was delicious and juicy. The chicken there has been nurtured with great attention.
Bella nodded her head with a smile and said, "Everything is waiting for you in the food hall, quick or else it might be cold."
Bella called Marcus by his name because Marcus instructed her to call him that. He didn't like to be called master or young master; it was uncomfortable for him.
For a moment, Marcus seems to unable to cancel his joy, without any thoughts he quickly ran towards the food hall,
Bella watched the back of the Marcus, who ran toward the food hall, like a bull seeing a red cape, and shook her head slightly.
He arrived in the long corridor and, between the corridor were countless rooms on both sides of the corridor, and above the door, there was a black silver plaque and a white name on it.
It shows that each room has an owner.
This was a castle of the Atraxia family; in other words, it was the headquarters of the Atraxia family, this was an ancient family with a 2000-year history, and there are countless members with the same bloodline living in this castle.
A moment later, Marcus arrived in a huge hall that had a desk on both sides of the wall with luxurious decoration. In the middle of the ceiling, hanging down a bright chandelier, illuminated the entire room with a bright light. In the middle of the hall, there is a long, mottled gray stone table. Each side of the table has a wooden chair. On the table, there were dishes with food that filled the hall with an aroma.
Seated at the end of the table is a man in his forties, he was wearing a simple black shirt and brown trousers. On his face, there is a tiny scar on his right eye. With a thick black beard, brown eyes, and messy black hair, he gives off a sense of terror and dominance. His name is Maverick Atraxia.
On the right side of his seat is a woman in her thirties, she is wearing a white dress, with blonde hair, her hair is tied out, she has thin eyebrows. There is luxury jewelry on her body, a necklace with emerald and earrings with diamond. Her name is Rosalie atraxia. She moves her head gently and looks at Marcus who has arrived.
There are no other members besides the two of them, because every member has already attended their class and finished eating at 8AM.
In the family ranking system there are the King, supreme magician, the magician, and normal members.
Maverick is the supreme magician, and each supreme magician is in charge of the different areas.
Atraxia castle is divided into 3 areas, the first area is called scholar, this place is only for normal members 8-12 years and only focuses on nurture and basic knowledge about the magic world there are 5 halls in the scholar area.
Maverick and Rosalie are in charge of the scholar area.
A smile flashed on Rosalie's face, and she said gently to Marcus, "Marcus, come and take a seat. I ordered the chefs to cook your favourite dish today."
Marcus quickly ran toward the table and sat beside his mother. Seeing the food on the table, he couldn't help but gulp down his saliva.
Maverick watched his son eating, and asked with a plant expression, "Did you have a strange dream again?"
Marcus, with one hand holding a chicken leg and the other hand holding a pie, replied, "Yes, I dream about it again."
Since Marcus turned eight years old, he has frequently had nightmares about a collapsed building, blood-like lake, and a mysterious figure. This nightmare is engraved deep within his heart. Every time he awakens from that dream, he constantly feels fearful and confused.
After hearing his son's answered Maverick
Face turned slightly dark, and he said, "Besides, that blurry figure have you seen anyone else?"
"No." Marcus answered.
"Keep notifying me when you encounter that dream, and mention if anything abnormal happens in that dream."
Unable to hide his curiosity, Marcus asked, "Father, why am I always seeing the same dream again and again? I hear that in Aaliyah's dream is always changing, she mentions that in her dream, there are fairies who play with her, and a wonderful world filled with strange creatures."
Aliyah is his sister. She was 5 years old, and currently she can't study due to her age, but she was very special.
When she was born there was a phenomenal fairy that blessed her.
She has been taking care and nurturing from the family since she was born.
Maverick seemed to avoid Marcus' doubts; instead, he changed the topic, "When you're done eating, don't forget to attend your class, it's already 9, your class is about to end."
The class starts at 8 o'clock and ends at 10, and there are different professors teaching different subjects.
Each professor is teaching for 2 hour.
Rosalie seems to notice something, she looks at Maverick, then moves her gaze to her son, she opens her mouth to speak something, but ultimately she closes her mouth and doesn't say anything.
Marcus nodded his head and quickly finished eating.
When he finished eating, a maid at the side of the hall walked over and brought Marcus to his bedroom, preparing for Marcus to attend his class.
Watching a maid bring Marcus to bathe Rosalie couldn't help but ask Maverick with curiosity, "Is there an abnormality with that dream?"
"Perhaps, it's not a dream but a revelation."
Every member of the Atraxia family is sharing the same bloodline, rumors has it that this family has a god before, and each has shared the same bloodline as him.
Maverick thought it was the revelation of the Atraxia God.
"Revelation?" Rosalie exclaimed.
"Yes"
Maverick stood up and said, "I need to inform this to the upper echelon."
The upper echelon is referred to as the supreme magician of the family.
In the bedroom, Marcus, dressed in a soft white shirt with wide sleeves, with a slightly gray vest, and black trousers, there are small belts on his waist. His hair is 2 blocks but slightly curly, looking at himself in the mirror with a wide smile. Beside his right is a maid who was preparing his handbag for Marcus to attend his class.
2 block hair is a hair style that was very famous in the Aton Kingdom, citizens there half of the city is using this hairstyle.
And it continues to spread to other kingdoms.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Marcus turned his head to his Bella and said, "How do I look today?"
Bella looked at her young master for a second and said with a smile, "You look like a superhero that comes from a novel."
Novel is also the work of the Aton kingdom; originally it was a folk tale book and later it was renamed by Aton kingdom to Novel.
And superheroes that Bella talks about come from the novel, it refers to a man with magic, super strength or hero save the citizens from calamity.
And the novel is one of the favourite things for Marcus aside from food. He always reads it when he has time. The night before sleep he always begged Bella to read a novel for him.
"That's right, I'm a superhero who descends from a novel to save the world," Marcus said with joyful expressions.
Upon seeing this, Bella, who was beside, couldn't help but curl up her lip slightly, unable to suppress her laugh.
When everything was prepared, with a creak, the door of the bedroom was opened, and a cheerful and confident Marcus stepped out of his bedroom with his maid behind him.
Following that, Bella led Marcus to his classroom. After walking along the corridor for a while, a garden filled with fresh green grass enters their vision. In the garden there are fountains, plenty of mixed flowers, a tree filled with all kinds of fruit, and in the middle of the garden, there is a passway that leads to another hall.
After walking past a garden, there was black double door that led inside. His personal servant Bella bowed and walked away, leaving Marcus standing there.
The hall and corridor didn't connect; it was separated by the garden.
After watching his personal servant Bella walking away, Marcus opened the black door and walked inside.
Inside is a large hall, and on each side of the hall is a long table. Come up with a wooden chair, standing in a row, sitting. There are all kinds of students with different genders, some have blonde hair, some have dark red hair. The other is mostly a black hair; below them is a large dazzling golden chandelier that illuminates the entire hall with a bright light.
They are all members of the Atraxia family, they have to attend class at 8AM.
In front of the student is a black wooden board filled with all kinds of strange things. Standing beside it is an old man with white hair, a wrinkled face, on his face is glasses, and a brown eye that seems to hide all kinds of experience and wisdom. He was wearing an old white shirt, with black vest, and black trousers, and a pair of black leather boots. He is a professor named Michael.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone's gaze landed on Marcus who was about to sneak to his seat.
Under everyone's gaze, Marcus stopped his actions with an awkward expression, he curled his lip slightly and said with a smile, "Heh…why did everyone look at me that way? It feels like I'm a thief."
"Quick, get to your seat, my class is about to end." Professor Michael Said with a calm tone.
"Yes, professor," Marcus replied.
He quickly ran toward his seat. Sitting with him was a girl; her skin was pale white, her hair was long and tied up, her eyes were brown, she had a cute little face, she was wearing a white dress with a black skirt, and she sat there looking at Marcus, who sat beside her silently.
Her name is Lilian Atraxia. She was Marcus' friend, she was like a villain in the eyes of Marcus, the two always argued with each other.
She was a hardworking girl who always sought the understanding of magic, and also some basic knowledge.
Marcus, who had placed his handbag below his table and other hand pulled a book and quill from his handbag and laid it on the table, when his gaze met with the girl who was beside him.
He couldn't help but shout, "Eh…why are you looking at me? Is my charm already this powerful?"
"I thought you were already dead," Lilian said with a plain expression.
"How can I, a superhero and handsome man, die so easily?"
"Superhero? You're more likely a clown."
"How can a great superhero be a clown?"
Lilian, didn't respond anymore and focused her attention on the Professor teaching.
"Rune is the basis of magic; we use runes to draw a corresponding label or symbol that relates to magic. There are two types of runes. Natural rune and blood rune, natural rune is a rune that can be drawn by using one spiritual or spiritual of nature, as for blood rune, it requires one's own essence blood to draw it. It was a dangerous and unsafe method."
Marcus, listening to the professor teaching with a bored expression, moved his gaze to Lilian, who listened to the professor teaching with a serious expression. He was about to interrupt her, when suddenly she raised her right hand.
Seeing Lilian raising her right hand, the professor pointed to her and said, "Lilian, did you have any questions?"
Lillian stood up and said, "Yes, I had a question."
"Ohh, what it is." Professor Michael asked.
"What is the meaning of labels and symbols?"
"Great question, in this magic world, names and symbols are really important to make an item, create magic, cast spells, or use to make a magical weapon. As for how many it is, you will learn it when you study in the Second area."
After thanking the professor, Lilian sat down and focused on the teaching again.
Marcus continues sitting there with a bored face; he constantly yawns.
The Second felt like a torture for him; finally, the professor endedthe class, and after walking outside the hall, he quickly ran toward the food hall.
Not only Marcus who ran toward the Food hall, there were also many members charged of the food hall too. It was like an ant seeing a sweet.
After a moment, he arrived at the food hall. After finding his seat, he quickly sat down and impatiently waited for the servant to bring the food.
The servants here are not Bella, there are many servants in charge of the corresponding hall.
When the servant arrives, Marcus looks at the food that the servant carries with a joyful expression. The servant places the dish on the table in front of Marcus and walks away.
Marcus gulped down his saliva and ate until he was filled.
Suddenly, his personal servant Bella came in and said, "Young master, your father is summoning you."
