Nathan thinks,few years ago I was given a mission to exterminate an orc village. I thought it would be easy but they were stronger than I thought so they anhilited my team so I ran for my life but they kept on chasing me through out alphine forest.

So to hide,I went into some ruins. But that was biggest mistake of my life. Because I was stuck in that ruins for a month without food and water and I only survived barely by eating worms,rats and bugs and after 20 days I have eaten them all.

After 25 days I was so hungry that I started eating moss and whatever that was consumable. Even after 25 days I couldn't find exit but on 30th day I found a tree that looks like a woman. I even wanted to eat that tree but it was dried up.

But at the trunk of that tree there was a seed and it also look exactly like a round shaped seed but it was pure white in colour.

Even though I was very hungry I didn't wanted to eat that seed because it was so small that even if I eat it it won't alliviate my hunger and it looked like the woman in that tree was holding that seed in her hands.

I thought its not a normal seed so i choose not to eat it. Next day I searched for the exit as usual but couldn't find it but I found some weird drawings on the wall.

In the first drawing there are three circles,one the first circle there are some humans with wings and on the second circle some more humans with horns and in third circle was filled with human like creatures.

In the second drawing, humans with wings and horns leaves their own circle and starts probably fighting on third circle with human like creatures.

In the third drawing,a creature comes into the third circle and at first it has something black in his hand and then he throws that black thing at winged and horned creatures.

After that there were no drawings and I was very hungry so I came back to the tree. I was in no position to think about the seed or the consequences because of hunger so I took that and ate it.

In the next second that ruin started collapsing. I didn't know what to do but I wanted to live so badly that I have used my all remaining mana in my body to punch the collapsing debris.

I don't know how it happened but that mana also transefferd to the debris and in the next second falling debris exploded and I was buried under it.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Fortunately some of my loyal subordinates who were still searching for me saw that blast and came there to my rescue.

I had many bones fractured and I didn't wake up for 10 days and after I woke up,I somehow knew that there is something black inside that white seed. After that day I promised to myself I would never ever set foot in a ruin even this if this world is going to end and the only safest place is a ruin.

I never wanted to even remember that one month life in that ruin thats why I didn't remember eating that seed but it seems my guess was right,that seed is not normal.

So I need to get information about this seed......... wait a second, there is another possibility. I heard the 4th princess of Fiona and 2nd daughter of southern Dukedom's Duke Alvina are good friends.

Emperor also assigned Fiona the southern Dukedom and I also heard there is a wind mage among three arch mages in southern Dukedom ,who only takes command from princess Fiona.

So, I can't deny the possibility that, to get revenge Alvina used her friend Fiona to protect these two families and obstruct my plan of becoming a Duke.

Nathan thinks,may be I am over thinking it because I got information from my spy,to surpass first princess,the other three are gaining strength in their own way.

Because Fiona is the weakest, I heard she is gaining strength by researching and collecting some sort of ancient magical artifacts and relics.

So,there is a possibility that she really send this wind mage to collect that seed to improve her strength.

Whatever the reason,I was planning on dealing with her in the future but if I could kill this wind mage now then she would get weaker significantly but before doing that I need to verify this man's identify.

Thinking all this,he takes a red mana stone from his shoes under the table and breaks it.

1 minute before,two vernica family guards were strolling, suddenly one of those guards saw a copper coin. After confirming other guard didn't saw that coin the first guard steps on it and says to the other guard look at the fool moon it's more beautiful than regular full moon.

After those words second guard also praises the moon. In the meantime the first guard picks the coin discreatly and puts it into his pocket with smile.

Suddenly the coin in the pocket explodes and both of the guards die and at the same time at vernica family estate many explosions can be seen and many people died in an instant.

The sound of these explosions were heard by the people in the meeting so they were confused. Suddenly a guard comes into meeting room and tells them what's happening outside.

Everybody body gets into panic mode,to calm them wind mage steps in and says, don't panic because I am here I'll handle this.

After that, everybody comes outside and after observing the situation, wind mage says I don't think it's random attack. They must planned this for longtime so we need to coordinate and counterattack our enemies.

"I have planned the countermeasure for the possibility 237 in only 5 minutes" thinks Nathan with a sheepish smile.

Wind mage continues,we need to divide into three teams........no wait only two teams. I'll lead the first team and my two body guards will lead the second team.

If any body comes across a strong enemy and if they cannot defeat him then they should give a signal by throwing a mana flare into air.

After that they divide into two groups and goes into different directions to save the people and to attack the enemies.

Nathan was part of second group led by two aura swordsmen of sixth class.

After reaching certain place every body scatter to help the people and some soldiers guard stand to protect them all.

Nathan slowly slips away from those 2 swordsmen sight and takes the copper coins outside the bag and throws it towards some guards with such a force and precision that they pierces through their skull and reaches their brain.

In the same moment the copper coin starts burning the bodies of the soldiers starting from brain. In just few seconds those soldiers turns into ashes and all these things happen without a sound.

Nathan thinks to himself, today all my condensed coins and scorching coins will be used so i need to make them as soon as possible.
