“NO NO NO NO NO!!” He is OUR son!! What are you doing darling?!
“How could we abandon him when what he really needs right now is our warmth and love??
“He is only 15 years old darling!! How could you even do this?? How could we?!"
The sound of a beautiful but sharp voice vibrated loudly through the walls of the castle. Clearly, there was a hint of anger and despair when she said those words.
“Do you think I do not know that he is my SON?! But all he does is play around fooling with girls. Not to mention, all the resources he spends.
“It doesn’t matter if he is a concubine’s son, but he isn’t!! As an heir to this Grand Kingdom, how could he behave so?
“Honey, there is nothing else we could do. We have already provided him with love beyond any normal parent should need to be responsible for. And we tried our best to teach him martial arts, but he doesn’t want to learn. It's fine if martial arts is not his forte but neither is his business ability nor is his strategic warfare. He doesn’t have the brains or brawns!”
A hoarse and deep voice could be heard within the conversation in the castle.
“But you are this Kingdom's, King! And he is our son! Please Darling!” said the beautiful charming woman.
“Enough! You should know the dangers of him staying around here. I have already decided! So let’s not quarrel about this any longer” said the man that sounded like a middle-aged man but look as if he was only in his 30's.

“Father please don’t abandon me! Please!
“I am begging you father! Please! I will learn martial arts. I will study hard! I will do anything! Please, father, please!” said a young 15-year-old boy with an immature voice.
“Hmph! That’s what you said the other time! And the other time! And the other time!!
“It has always been like this! Go out and experience the world and grow up!” said the man with a harsh tone.
As the middle-aged man said that, he closed the gates of the castle and walked back towards the castle. As he entered the gate, he said “Shut the gates! And NO one is allowed to let that useless son in! Announce to the world that from this day forth, the boy named Gio is no longer my son and shall be forbidden to be mentioned in the vicinity of my Kingdom!”
As the King said that, he walked away from the gates with clenched fists, however, if one looked closer, there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"It's over now, father is really angry. I have never thought that father would really throw me out of the Kingdom. What should I do? I have nowhere to go. I only have 1000 gold left with me. Good thing mother gave me 10 diamonds before I was sent away by that stupid old fool. But still, how could I survive with only this much money?
"And why did mother give me this ancient looking necklace? Ah well, I will sell it off when I run out of money. But it doesn;t seem like it will worth much anyway. Ah! Whatever!" Gio talked to himself out in the open with a gloomy expression on his face.
Truth be told 1000 gold and 10 diamonds was more than enough to live life luxuriously but Gio is a kind of a superb spoiled brat that likes to show off his money wherever he goes. How is money ever going to be enough for the likes of this kind of people?
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
For an average living person, 1 silver is enough to get by for a year. 10 silvers are needed for a normal household per year.
In this “Anonymous World”, the currencies normal people use are divided into bronze, silver, gold and diamond. 1000 bronze is equivalent to 1 silver, 1000 silver is equivalent to 1 gold, and 1000 gold is equivalent to 1 diamond. So you can imagine the amount of money Gio has, is definitely not an insignificant amount.
However, Gio doesn't know the value of the money he holds because he never has to earn it. He is a Young Heir to a great kingdom but wastes his life to women, gambling, drugs, etc. Anything that seems fun, he will definitely be a participant. And anything that requires hard work and dedication, he stays far far away from it.
In this world, the average people enters the army or starts working at the age of 15. Only nobles and aristocrats or people with good financial ability would be allowed to obtain higher education. Of course, there are some exceptions, but such cases are rare especially in this world.
So in the eyes of this world, Gio is considered to be a young adult that is eligible to make decisions for his own life.
----------------------
"Arghhh, DAMN IT!!! I'll just walk to the nearest city and find a place to stay. I'm pretty sure after a few months at most, Father would send his subordinates to pick me up and I'll be able to enter the Kingdom and continue living my luxurious life Hehehehehe" thought Gio as he walked towards a random direction.
As Gio was laughing all by himself he shouted towards the sky in a loud voice "Why be King if you are not to enjoy the wonders and pleasure of the world? Why be King and waste your life dealing with every little problem within the Kingdom and increasing your stress and burden in the process? Why be King when there are so many limitations? Why be King when you can't have FREEDOM?! This is why in my life, and my reign, I want to have MONEY, I want to have WOMEN, and most of all I want to be able to do anything that makes me happy which means FREEDOM! That is the meaning of becoming a KING!"
Gio was shouting his useless speech about what he would have and what he would do when he is King, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was kicked out of the Kingdom that he very much wished to become King in. However, as Gio was spouting his nonsense, it seems like the Heavens was angered by his uselessness and roars of thunders began reverberating and echoed throughout the dark skies. Surprisingly there wasn't even a drop of rain but just lightning and thunderstorm in the dark skies.
As Gio was looking at the sky, he was horrified as he could see the dark cloud converge into a huge ball of clouds as if it was trying to summon a huge ass thunderbolt.
But instead of a thunderbolt, in the middle of the cloud, Gio could see a red fireball that was becoming bigger and bigger as time passes.
This fireball has a tinge of crimson red colour but mixed with an icy blue. However, there was a darkness aura that seems to have become tangible and enshrouds the fireball. It doesn't cover it but gives a thin black layer surrounding the fireball.
What's even more surprising is that it was beginning to look like a human-shaped object but doesn't seem to possess a tangible body.
As the shape of the fireball slowly transformed more and more into a human-shaped like, suddenly...
BANG!! BOOM! BOOM!

"You want to have money? You want to have women? You want freedom? You want to be KING?!! I want it too!!! But without power, you can do nothing, without strength we are weak, without perseverance we are NOTHING!! Without these, our desires are nothing but a dream!!
"Oh dear Gio, I am sorry that you died in this manner, but I have to say your mouth is just full of shit. Maybe that's why the Heaven decided to punish you and deem you unworthy of living this life.
"But I have taken over your body, and your wish is my desire too. Therefore, I will be King, for our sakes.
"I come from an endless void, surrounded by the endless amount of monsters, filled with endless desires, but arrived in a place with endless opportunity. 'You' were nothing but trash in the sight of your family. Drowned by an endless amount of insults day to day. Filled with endless expectations from your parents only to disappoint them.
"Therefore, until I am worthy to hold this name again, I will forego this name Gio, and shall be called ENDLESS!! And I will be KING!!! This will be my promise to you Gio Cerberus Choo the Useless Prince of an almighty Kingdom.
"I will not disappoint 'our' parents, I will be the son they always wished for as it is what they deserve. 'You' were always taking their love for granted. It wasn't as if they never gave 'you' the opportunity. They even gave 'you' the freedom to pursue what it was 'you' really wanted to do. However, all 'you' did was giving them more problems by causing trouble towards neighbouring Kingdoms and even towards our own people 'you' are labelled as trash and a disgrace to the family" said Endless as he solemnly promised himself and his other self the things he would accomplish.
As soon as Endless finished speaking, his eyes gradually close and soon fainted on the ground....
