"Lily! One day I will become the Magic Emperor! I will make you happy for your entire life! So, please marry me!"
A short guy with spiky silver-white hair, holding a bouquet of wildflowers picked from the roadside, was proposing to Sister Lily of the orphanage in his daily ritual.
"I'm sorry, Asta, I am everyone's Sister."
"I haven't given up yet!"
"I'm truly sorry..."
"I won't give up!"
...
Watching the familiar scene before him, the young man lay leisurely on the lawn, a foxtail grass blade in his mouth.
He was already used to it... both in his previous life and this one.
"You're so annoying!"
Asta's continuous kneeling finally angered Lily.
"Water Magic, Impact of Love!"
Sister Lily pulled out a blue grimoire, and with an angry shout, the grimoire glowed with dazzling blue light. Several streams of water converged into a giant water ball, descending from the sky.
It directly drenched Asta, turning him into a wet chicken.
"I haven't given up yet!"
Asta jumped up again and lunged towards Sister Lily.
"Stop messing around!"
Before Yuno could unleash a water ball to hit Asta, Adam did a carp jump and stood up directly from the ground.
Then, with a big leap, he directly kicked Asta, who was in mid-air, away.
"Adam! What the hell are you doing!"
Asta was indeed an unkillable cockroach. He immediately got up from the ground, rushed to Adam's front, and started to roar.
He truly lived up to his title of roaring emperor!
Adam leaned his head back, fearing that Asta's spittle would spray on him.
"Adam, why do you always kick my face!"
Asta shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Your skin is thick, so your face is easier to kick."
Adam answered truthfully.
"You stinky guy..."
Before Asta could finish roaring, Adam pointed behind him.
Asta turned his head in confusion; the water ball gathered in Yuno's palm had not yet been put down.
"Yuno! You stinky handsome guy!"
Asta directly rushed to Yuno's side and started to roar.
Adam rubbed his ears. The roar of the roaring emperor truly lived up to its reputation.
"Adam, if Asta could live as he pleased even without magic, like you, it would be great..."
Adam's mouth twitched slightly. Was she praising him, this great master?
"In that case! He wouldn't be Asta."
"You're right!"
Adam and Lily looked at everyone with an auntie-like smile.
"Adam, what kind of expression is that!"
Yuno looked at Adam unhappily, and everyone's gaze was drawn to him.
"Adam, stay away from Lily, you scummy man."
Adam really wanted to give Asta a smack. This big idiot. Calling a scummy man a'scummy man' was truly something else.
"Adam! Yuno! Let's have a showdown!"
Asta's magical thought process made Adam a bit confused.
It seemed that only Asta, his blood brother from different parents—Yuno, could see eye to eye with him!
"You guys play! Childish games are no longer suitable for me!"
Adam waved his hand and turned to walk towards the Land of the Great Skeleton.
"Adam, you guy, don't look down on people!"
Asta shouted in an extremely loud voice.
Yuno, on the other hand, watched Adam's retreating back with a calm expression.
He also couldn't use magic, so why was Adam... "Yuno, let's have a showdown
"I don't like playing house either!"
"Ah! You just wait for me."
Asta also ran towards Skeleton Mountain. This time, he absolutely had to do a thousand extra sit-ups.
"Adam, that guy..."
The arrogant blonde kid looked puzzled.
Although Asta couldn't use magic, he worked very hard.
In contrast, why was Adam... "Damn it, Asta, you must prove that even a commoner, even without magic, can..."
The arrogant blonde kid shouted inwardly... "Bad luck, bad luck!"
Adam felt a bit upset whenever he thought of what the Sister said.
If he wasn't a bit more carefree, he would end up like Asta, becoming a hot-blooded unlucky guy.
Why could other transmigrators get some tech?
When it came to Adam, besides the dragon-shaped Emerald pendant he wore around his neck, he had nothing else but the identity of an orphan... And this was a magic world; not being able to use magic was too ridiculous.
"Sigh! I can only rely on tomorrow's ceremony..."
Adam's eyes held a hint of sadness. His past life... let's not mention it!
The moment he opened his eyes, he had become a three-year-old child, placed at the church entrance with Asta and Yuno.
His clothes were embroidered with 'Adam,' so he was called Adam from then on.
"Fifteen years..."
Adam touched the Emerald pendant on his chest, his gaze gradually becoming firm.
"A grimoire, I must get one!"
"1998!"
"1999!"
"2000!"
"Adam, do you want to drink some magical tree sap? It can increase your magic power!"
Asta's shout came from under the skull.
"You drink it! I can't enjoy that blessing!"
Adam smiled. Asta, with a kindred spirit like him, was even more diligent than before.
"Is he trying to prove to me that even without magic..."
"Asta! Let's go home!"
...The Clover Kingdom's annual grimoire ceremony finally began.
Adam looked with surprise at the countless grimoires inside the grimoire tower.
How much money would these sell for!
Ever since he came to this place, it was potatoes and bread every day, not even a hint of meat.
He was truly starving.
"Look at those bumpkins. I really don't know why they're participating in this ceremony."
"I heard that short guy can't even use magic. He's one of a kind in the whole world."
"You're behind on the news! That blond guy can't use magic either."
"Haha, how strange. What are they doing here if they can't use magic? Are they planning to join the Magic Knight Squad?"
"It's hilarious!"
The space inside the tower was huge, but everyone was silent, except for these two arrogant and obnoxious guys.
They kept chattering incessantly.
Adam didn't even glance at them.
These two cowards, once the ceremony ends, he would let them know what fear was.
"I am the Tower Master of the grimoire tower..."
Adam really didn't have time to listen to this white-bearded old man babble on.
It was just like the 'Will of Fire' from the neighbor, always spouting nonsense.
And the Magic Emperor!
This twisted relationship where a demon was the Magic Emperor, and a garbage king and nobles could ride roughshod over the Magic Knight Squad.
This feudal system was truly disgusting.
Ever since Adam entered the grimoire tower, the Emerald pendant on his chest had been radiating heat.
This feeling was a sign of taking off!
"grimoires, bestowal begins!"
At the command of the white-bearded Tower Master, various grimoires in the tower began to float.
The brilliant grimoires began to seek their owners.
The gears of fate began to turn, and everyone received their own grimoire.
Yuno received the grimoire engraved with a Clover, named 'Luck'.
Asta knelt on one knee, his face pale.
Before Adam, a thin golden grimoire floated.
Surrounded by the patterns of the twelve zodiac signs, the Emerald pendant on his chest emitted a ray of light that shot directly into the grimoire.
The golden grimoire automatically opened to the fifth page, which showed a dragon's design.
Adam's face was wild, his expression extremely ferocious.
Fifteen whole years!
He had finally made it!
The twelve zodiac signs, what kind of prestige did that hold!
Everyone was discussing Yuno, who had received the Clover grimoire, and the magic-less young man whose entire body was enveloped in golden light.
"Brother Adam actually got a grimoire!"
The children couldn't help but be shocked. Lily and the old man's mouths couldn't close.
"He also can't use magic, but this blond guy is much stronger than that short guy."
They still dared to mock us!
Adam showed a wicked smile. He didn't care about these things, or what kind of talent the damn Tower Master valued.
"But, such a thin grimoire, it'll probably be gone after two pages!"
This dark-haired, foul-mouthed man whose hair was so unwashed it was almost matted, was still chattering.
"Ancient Eastern Dragon, please grant me the power to destroy everything!"
"Dragon Blast!"
