Thousands of years have passed since the first magician appeared on the continent.

Its power that can't be measured, like how darkness consumes, controls the other element.

Those who follow have become great in their fields: sorcerer, alchemist, tamer, pope, and more.

They are subjected to being disciples who act as the leader but also grovel in the presence of their lord.

The magician grows so powerful that no one dares to confront his decision.

As his power grew, his desire for eternal rule also grew, and with the power in his hands, he decided to lead an attack on each nation on the continent. 

Athea, as the pope of the nation, couldn't bear to see her people suffer at the hands of her master.

So she confronts them, even if it means becoming one of the traitors. 

After a long battle, Athea gained victory by piercing the heart of her master.

The brocken pieces of hearts like shards of mirror scattered through the land and soon were burried and forgotten.

Later, Pope Athea, with the high merits from the battle, unified the continent into one.

She became the ruler of the only kingdom of Ashen and spoke to the sky.

The day I ruled has long since begun, but master, I still feel your beating heart on the ground.

Is this a premonition of the great tragedy that will unfold as I perish?

But my people, I just couldn't bear to leave the misery that is lurking on the ground.

So, it's decided.

I will pass on this divine power for generations to come. to protect the kingdom, to protect the people.

May you succeed in this battle.

The founding of the Ashen Kingdom was written like that: even after a thousand years, kids could still vividly desire a long time of peace.

Riche Dukedom is known for its enormous wealth, with the signature of being a Wovy cat—ambitious, selfish, prideful, powerful, and possessive. 

My father expects that each child will be like him, with a skill that benefits the house.

So since the day I was born, he has named me after money.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Penny, penny, will be the name of that child."

"Wuu?"

"It seems he likes it,"

My mother's beauty was like a burning flame.

with both crimson hair and eyes, was like a 

"Though penny was of common use by common people and regards with the smallest worth, penny also bore a beauty and strength that is hard to predict. So I expect you to grow as a riche like me."

If I were born as a normal child, I wouldn't have known the real meaning of that name.

I wouldn't act like a mindless child, craving the milk of a mother.

But sadly, I was born with the memory of the hated person in this empire.

Right... I was the magician.

For a thousand years, my soul rested on the soil, and the brocken heart that was burried interconnected its power, which drove my soul to hibernate.

I remain awaiting the day I will walk on my feet again and face my enemy, which destroyed me.

But when I opened my eyes, I was already being lifted, crying in the warmth of a mother.

Sigh, that is just a pass... a pass that needed to be forgotten or buried, like how I was buried.

The door burst open, and a wetted old handsome man entered, looking as young as a youth with blackened clothes and darkened eyes.

He appears like a black pearl, as always.

"Welcome back, Father."

Duke of Riches: Zaion Kin Riche, the master of the house.

"A grand welcome for someone as beautiful as you, my son."

Penny Riche, the third son of Zaion Kin Riche, bore the beauty of both parents. Having the black pearl hair of his father and blood-crimson eyes like his mother.

"Hm, of course, how could I leave the duke unwelcome in his own house?"

"I see. You have grown."

Yeah, like the snake you are.

"Anyway, who is the man by your side, duke?"

Kaian de Lunare, the son of Duke Lunare, was a beauty with a statue-like body, tousled lunar hair, and icy eyes.

"A trophy... a trophy that I pick back on my way, would you like to possess it?"

"Hmm, a trophy does suit that look on his face, but it has quite a rebellious look for a mere trophy to stare like that. Given that my father has given him to me, then I will gladly accept and tame him before he is presented again."

The Dukedom of the Kingdom was divided by two leading families, led by Riche, who demanded control, followed by Lunare, who welded ice and healing water.

These two families have been enemies since the foundation of their clan. So it wasn't a wonder to see the son of Lunare being held as a trophy by Riche.

I just didn't expect to finally see the gem of Lunare hidden by the high gate of their land.

"It does have the traits of a lunar wolf, but I'm glad I chose you as its master. So until he becomes docile, keep him in the underground dungeon."

Since the day I was born as Penny, I have started taking a journey. 

A journey that will bring my power back to its original place... And yeah, it wasn't easy. 

Being a powerless child has disadvantages towards the command of a ruler.

"As a child with no skill and strength, you are deemed to fall into traps. So go and start the play before I grow even more tired than what I feel right now."

My father, who demands the impossible, uses its own self towards the so-called seduction in which I shall succeed.

Given that my body was young, it trembled at the sight of a monster surge.

I blame the adaptability of being slow and witty on this body.

How could mere dominance be effective towards the great foundation I build as the only magician with the highest rank in this empire.

"For being a starter in this type of work, you already trigger a percent in my desire to reawaken in the process. That must be the advantage of having a beautiful body and face, but luck would wear off if not controlled properly. This practice will be repeated every third, fourth, and fifth day of the week, so practice diligently. Because I don't accept failures that couldn't even slip away from my property."

I could only hide my gritted teeth from the succumbing act I needed to test.

"Don't worry, Father, I will greatly learn the lesson pretty well." And I will never forget this madness.

This only led me to develop a desire to train my body, even if it wore off completely.
