It was like a fleeting dream. A dream filled with peace and tranquility after I closed my eyes as I pass away from this world. The dream continued until the moment I opened my eyes once again and found out that I have been reborn in the same World 1500-Years in the future inside a not so fortunate household, he thought.

Inside a room so tiny it could only fit a small bed, a young kid can be seen sitting with crossed leg on top of it meditating, sweat poured all over his shirtless body that faintly emits a white light, shortly after the light subsided the kid opened his eyes. “Phew, training done for today.”

The kid stood up to open the only window in his room, when he opened it the bright light coming from the outside blinded him for a moment and the cool breeze of air hit his sweaty body, as his eyes slowly adjust to the light, he heard a voice coming from the outside.

“Oh? Theo you’re finally awake, we’ll go hunting after I finished chopping this logs so prepare your bow.” Said by a man named Gilbert Houndhart, swinging down his axe, Gilbert have a good young looking face even in his early 40’s, he has a brown colored short hair and eyes, and wears a cheap pair of clothes.

“Ara Theo, you’re covered in sweat again hurry up and wash yourself.” Said by a woman named Asha Houndhart carrying the chopped down logs into the tiny house shed, Asha has a gorgeous face with gentle expression, her shoulder length amber colored hair is tucked behind her cheap dress and she has an alluring green colored eyes.

The two of them looked out of place as they’re both good looking individuals wearing a cheap clothes and the reason for it is their son Theo, who used his magic to preserve their good looks as they sleep for a simple reason that, I don’t want my Parents to look bad.

“Good morning Father and Mother.” Said by the kid and smiled named Theodore Houndhart. That has the traits from his mother Asha, he has the same amber colored hair and green colored eyes. his cute yet developing face shows some the traits of his good looking father Gilbert.

“Mou, just because you’ve turned 10 today doesn’t mean you need to be embarrassed to call me Mama, Theo.” Asha said with a pouting face unfitting for a woman her age.

“That’s right Theo, Papa thinks there’s no need for you to act mature just yet since you just turned 10 today.” Gilbert said while he chops logs.

In the end the once Great Thormiel can’t refuse such a simple request from his parents, while Theo makes complicated expression every time he called them Mama and Papa, his parents can’t help but to hide their smile watching there adorable Son.

“Oi Theo! Over here!” Said by a kid named Nelma Farheath, while waving both of her hands. She has a roundish cute looking face and have an Orange colored hair tied in a twin tail and blue colored eyes, she wears a cute looking blue clothes that is easy move.

“Nelma have you gotten fat again?” Theo said walking alongside his Father.

“N-No! It’s not like I keep eating too much!” Nelma shouted averting her eyes.

“Heh, just because Food is getting abundant in the Village doesn’t mean you should eat a lot and get fat. What happened to the thing you said? Watch it Theo, I’ll turn into a real hottie like your Mom!” Theo said mockingly.

“Chief, I found a Herd to hunt heading towards the River.” Said by a man named Lorgen Farheath, Nelma’s Father, he has Masculine build and a rugged looking face, his Black colored hair is styled in a back sweep and he has a brown colored eyes. He wears a full leather armor.

“Stop it Lorgen, the Title of the Village Chief should have been yours since you’re the last Chief’s Son.” Gilbert said.

“What are you talking about, becoming the Village Chief isn’t a hereditary Title besides the Mysterious Magician who resides in this Forest wanted you to govern this Land, and so you’re the most fitting person to become the Chief of this Village.” Lorgen said with a smile.

“Umu. Thanks to the Mysterious Magician that this land is slowly getting wealthy, as a result we managed to send many promising young ones from every Villages to study in the Academies in Siroth, while Traders and Merchants are now coming more often. Gilbert said.

“Yeah, it was thanks to the Mysterious Magician that blessed this land with Four Guardian Golems, because of it Monsters have started avoiding our Forest.” Lorgen said as both of them laugh.

Well, that retarded Noble have troubled me a little, but I didn’t even think they would actually appoint my Father to be a Noble to govern this Land.” Theo thought.

8 Months Ago

It was a normal sunny day and a sudden notification for all the Village Chiefs to gather at the Noble’s Manor has been sent out. All the Village Chiefs hurried and gathered inside, sitting in front of them is the Son of the one who govern the land while the Head Guard in a silver decorated armor spoke.

“As the late Alfred Hollion have passed away, with the Order from the King of Londe we announced that his Son Arnold Hollion as the new Noble to Govern the land of Tironde.” Said by the Head Guard.

“Did all of you heard that? From now on I’m your new Owner.” Arnold said, he has a round figure with his belly clearly bulging from his tailored noble suit, he has a glistening blond hair and black colored perverted looking eyes, and his noise is clearly visible but his most memorable trait is his face that resembles a Pig.

“H-How could that happen last time I saw Sir. Alfred he was healthy.”

“Damn it, why did he become the new Governor what happened to the Oldest Son?”

“Why did this fat ass become the new Governor?”

“… … … …” The Village Chiefs have stared murmuring with each other.

“Since I have been officially given the rights to this land, and all of you seems to be aggressive against me my first order is that you need to pay triple the tax from now on, I won’t be as kind as my Father, those Villages that cannot meet these condition will have two choices either meet my Army or send some young beautiful Woman to my Manor.” Arnold said with lecherous face.

“This stupid pig.”

“Does he wants us to die in hunger?”

“What kind of conditions is that!?”

“S-Sir Arnold, if you triple the Tax that we have to pay all the Villages will die in hunger…” An Old Man argued.

“Hmm? Didn’t you hear it Old Man? If you don’t want to pay that kind of Tax then send me Woman or do you want to be an example for those who goes against me?” Arnold said with annoyed expression, he then lift his right hand and pointed it towards the Old Man.

“T-This is too much no matter how you think of it! If Sir Alfred is still alive he won’t treat us like this—“ The Old Man said and Arnold begin chanting words the other Chiefs walk back as Flame begun to gather on Arnold’s palm, and when Arnold finished chanting the Flame fly towards the Old Man and burned him to death.

“Chief Farheath!”

“Hii!”

“No! What have you done!?”

“… … … …” The other Chiefs was enraged at Arnold, but they cannot do anything as behind Arnold is a group of 20 armored Guards guarding him.

“So, does anyone have any more problem?” Arnold said, but all of the Chiefs has been scared to go against him. “Alright all of you may leave now.”

Later that day the news of the Village Chief Farheath’s death has reach the citizen of the Farheath’s Village, Lorgen had such a painful and angered expression on his face, while Theo console Nelma who’s devastated of the news.

Sigh, what kind of King would let such a retard govern a land of his Kingdom? If this kind of thing has been reported to me I would make the King beg for his life back in my days. Should I threaten the King a little? Theo thought.

“Theo, Grandpa, My Grandpa…” Nelma continuously repeated as she weep and fall asleep.

Sigh, if Nelma’s like this I can’t teach her how to utilize her Rare Ice Element Magic, and there’s that raise in taxes. I’m sure Father won’t have any money to spare if I asked, if that happen how will I buy the delicacy those Merchant bring every second week? And that retard he wanted Woman if a Village cannot pay the taxes? Who in the World he think he is? When I was in my prime respecting a woman is the greatest virtue a man can have. Theo thought.

“En, let’s do the World a favor and remove a parasite.” Theo uttered. Hmm? Wait if I just kill that retard a new one might just replace him, hmm, if I vouch Lorgen I bet Nelma would be happy but if I place Father then I will have more money I can spend to buy Delicacies, En, there’s no mistaking it Father it is. Theo thought.

“Sorry Theo, I made you calm Nelma down.” Lorgen said with a sad expression.

“It’s not a problem, it’s a man’s job to protect what he cares for.” Theo replied. After all she’s my first promising Slave Disciple. Theo thought.

“Right, it’s a man’s job to be strong after all, thank you Theo. Your Parents must be getting worried you better hurry home.” Lorgen said forcing a smile. Theo stepped out of their house and felt the cold night breeze, he stared upward to look at the Three Moons that illuminate the Land.

* * *

“If I only known Qi back when I was young I might have lived longer with a healthy body, Sigh.” Theo said with a dissapointed expression, while he rushed towards the Manor of the new Governor of the Tironde.

It wasn’t the first time he had gone over the Manor as the late Alfred Hollion is a man who didn’t care about someone’s status, he invited every one under his territory for parties and he’s a fair and honest Man. It is a shame that he had passed away. Theo thought when he learned of his death.

The Manor is up in the Mountain, it would normally took an hour to reach by foot but Theo used the Wind Element Magic he created named 《Wind Walk》 that reduced the weight and increase the Agility of the user, it only took him a couple of minutes to reach the cliff overlooking the Manor.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

“En, I feel bad for those Guards posted by the King to protect a retard but if they try to resist it can’t be helped.” Theo said and casted 《Scan》 a non-Elemental Magic he created, a tiny amount of Mana expanded in a spherical form centering Theo, he adjusted it to scan a 1-Kilometer Area.

“Hmm, 20 People with weak Mana must be the Guards, 7 that has almost no Mana or didn’t train them must be the servants, 1 below average Novice Magician and what’s with this amount of low rank Monsters roaming around this Forest? They weren’t this large when I last checked. But to think those People couldn’t feel my Mana even though I made it easier to sense. Sigh.” Theo said and casted another Magic he created named 《Translucent Wall》 a Light Element Magic, the weakest Light Magic Barrier that Theo deemed successful, he covered the vicinity of the Manor making sure no one gets to leave.

“This is the weakest Magic Barrier I created and I already burned quite a lot of Mana just surrounding this small area. Sigh.” Theo said, but it wasn’t weak, Theo as Thormiel was so strict on his magic that if the Magic he created can be easily destroyed or withstand by his Disciples he deemed it worthless and gave it away. Incidentally this was also the way his Disciple learned a lot of his magic, they thought that if they can withstand or destroy the Magic Thormiel created they can have it and they were excited whenever Thormiel called them to test some Magic.

Theo jumped down from the Cliff and softened his land with 《Wind Walk》, he walked into the front gate of the Manor and blow the gates open that alerted the Guards. They rushed to see what’s going on and what they saw is a man wearing a black hooded clothe that most Magicians wear, but what they’re seeing is nothing but an Illusion Theo made by his Light Element Magic called 《Mirage》 that he casted beforehand.

“Name yourself Magician! This is the house of the Noble who Govern this land if you do not comply you will be deemed an Enemy and will be meet by Force!” Shouted the by Head Guard who wear a decorated silver armor.

“Name? I don’t need to name myself to insects like you! Who protects a man that takes advantage over People using his Father’s respectable name that he slowly tarnish by his actions! He must repent the only way he could!” Theo shouted, but using his magic called 《Mirage》 his voice sounded deep and reverbs in the air while he leaks out his Mana, it even reached the Villages at the bottom of the Mountain. All who heard the voice shook in fear.

“T-The only way that he could…?” The Head Guard speak with a shaky voice.

“Yes, the only way he could and that is to pay with his life!” Theo shouted and released a wave of Mana that everyone in the vicinity felt, some of the Guards passed out and some pissed inside their armor after getting slammed with a powerful Mana.

“You who dared to talk to me. Bring the Man in question in front of me if you fail to do my order you will be met with the same fate as he is.” Theo said and the Head Guard panicked and quickly get some of the conscious Guard to stand up as they rushed towards the Manor, as they run piss leaked out from their boots, Theo seeing this laughed a little, but for those who heard it, it was as If a Demon is laughing.

Without a fail the Guards brought Arnold Hollion in front of Theo, the Pig face Arnold, have multiple liquids leaking from his face, Tears, Snot, Saliva and Blood all of the same time after he refused to come along the Guards who’s not loyal to him beat him up inside the Manor and dragged him out. As Arnold begs for Mercy Theo only stood with cold eyes staring down on Arnold.

“M-M-Master Magician! Please have Mercy on me! I will amend my mistakes and do anything you will ask of me!” Arnold begged while press his head down on the floor.

“Your death is my Mercy for you.” Theo said coldly.

“N-No! I can’t die in here! No! No! I even killed both my Father and Brother for this Title! This can’t be happening!” Arnold shouted in despair and ran passed Theo towards the front gate of the Manor, but Arnold bumped into an invisible wall, a loud Thud sound rang after he fall on his butt, Arnold then quickly placed both of his hands to examine the wall.

“D-Don’t tell me…” Arnold said. He begin chanting and Flames quickly gathered in his hands that he shoot towards the invisible wall to no effect.

Chanting at that Age? What are you a 3-Year Old? Theo thought watching Arnold desperately try to damage the barrier Theo erected.

“I-I-Impossible T-T-This Barrier is so strong even stronger than the ones used in some Towns, D-D-Don’t tell me you’re a—“ Arnold was interrupted by some unknown force that coiled around his body, no matter how hard he struggles he couldn’t move a finger, it was because of another Magic Theo casted called 《Telekinesis》 another non-Elemental Magic he created.

“This farce have played for too long, Arnold Hollion for the sins of tarnishing your Father’s name and for disrupting my Disciple’s training.” Theo said and crushed Arnold using 《Telekinesis》, Arnold’s blood rained down in the entrance of his Manor, his innards and meat splattered all over the ground. “You shall pay with your life.”

“You who dared talk to me, I want you to take out the Treasures in this Manor all of it, if you don’t I would put you in the same fate as the Pig.” Theo ordered while pointing his finger towards the Head Guard.

After they saw the whole thing all they know is that if they don’t obey the man before them they will surely die in a painful death, and so the Guards and the servants living in the Manor ransack the place as their lives depends on it, after waiting for an hour all of the things with value has been presented in front of Theo, he didn’t care about the swords and other expensive looking stuff, but his eyes is fixed in the 4 Crates filled with various quality of Magic Gems.

Oh! To think there would be a usable amount of Magic Gems in this Manor, is he using it to raise his Mana? That’s so stupid does he want to get his Mana contaminated? Whatever but sorting this Gems would take a while unless… Theo thought.

“All of you hear my order, bring all Metallic items and pile them here.” Theo ordered.

The Guards and Servants who’s still panting moved their tired bodies to strip everything Metal in the Manor. While Theo noticed some blank Papers scattered around where the Guards piled the books, he grab one and using his magic he begin writing a letter for the King. The content goes as this.

To the King of Londe.

I have disposed one of your Vassal, if such Idiocy is to occur once again

I the Magician that lives in the Forest of Tironde

would visit your castle personally and fix your brain for you

if you’re a wise King pick your next Vassal carefully

someone who loves the land they lived in

someone who loves the people they govern

a great example of this someone is the late Alfred Hollion

a man with the name Gilbert Houndhart is a man I would recommend to take his shoes

To finish his letter to the King he enchanted the Paper with Enchantment Magic 《Resistance》 it was a fairly simple Enchantment, it made the Paper resistant to anything that might easily destroy it, a basic Enchantment for the books of Old Days that is now treated as a Grimoire in this day and Theo added a Mark of Magician to end it.

“S-Sir Magician we have finished collecting all of the Metallic items in the Manor.” The Head Guard said politely.

“No you haven’t, take off all of your armor and placed it on the pile you created.” Theo said.

The Guards flinched a bit considering the armor they’re wearing is enchanted and provided by the Kingdom’s Army, but when Theo let out a little Mana out they hurried to removed it.

The Head Guard quickly removed her head armor and a Golden colored hair who appeared shining under the 3 Moons surfaced, her face become pale with visible fear in her expression, after she finished stripping all of her armor. A beautiful toned body and a gorgeous looking female Knight can be seen wearing a very light clothing that only covered her important parts.

“En, all of you might have question lingering in your mind, I will tell you the reason that I made you gather all of the Metal as I need all of you to relay this information. I’m going to create a Golem that would protect this land from anything that would dare to threaten it.” Theo said as the Guards and Servant stare at him in disbelief.

Even though I said that with the amount and quality of the materials currently in my hands I could only make one powerful Rank 4 incomplete Metal Golem or two rank 3 Average Metal Golem but since I need it to scare away the Monster I found when I used 《Scan》 four Rank 2 High Grade Metal Golem is more fitting for the job since Rank 1 Metal Golem can only be used for labor work. To think I would rely on Magic Gems to create Golems again it reminds me of my youth. Theo thought.

Theo spread his arms facing towards the piles of Metal and Magic Gems that begin to melt as soon his Creation Magic called 《Golem Creation》 has been casted, the liquid form of Metal and Magic Gems begin to merge together forming what seems to be a Black Armored Knight, those who are seeing this scene watch with their jaw open, as the form of the Golem is now finished a Red Hexagon shaped Magic Core begin to form in their chest, and once that is finished the Metal Golem Knights Stood 4-Meters tall with an intimidating look and have a large sword hanging on their backs, Kneeled before Theodore awaiting orders from their Creator.

“En, it’s been awhile since I last created Golems but it looks like they turned out pretty well. Listen well the reason you’re made is to Protect this Land and the People who lived in it, Monsters and those who dare to threaten this land will be your Enemies and you will Eliminate them even if It means your destruction!” Theo ordered the Metal Golem Knights.

The Golems stood and begin to marched the heavy sound of their footsteps in ingrained on those who heard them, the first 3 Golem was a perfect creation but the last one didn’t have enough material and ended up just 1-Meter tall. Once they’re far enough each of them spread out and did their mission. A few moment later loud crashing sound and trees falling down can be heard along with the Howl and Cries of some Monsters.

“Female Knight state your name.” Theo ordered.

“N-N-Natasha Gorgen, Sir Magician.” Natasha kneeled and lowered her head.

“Natasha Gorgen! Your name is etched in my brain. I hereby present you an important mission, you must deliver my letter directly to the King! And state what you saw tonight in great details! Tell them about the Mysterious Magician you met today and in the future if we meet again I hope that we’re not Enemies but as Friends.” Theo said and handed over the Paper to Natasha who upon receiving the letter lift her head and saw the Mysterious Magician disappeared in thin air.

A few days have passed and a Cavalry of Knights leaded by Natasha arrived in the Farheath Village and announced that Gilbert Houndhart has been given the Title of a Noble and the right to Govern the Land of Tironde by the King. Theo’s Blacksmith Father is now a famous individual in Tironde who received the support of a Mysterious Magician.

Months passed by and the forest that is infested by low ranking monsters have been dealt with by the four Metal Golem Knights, that quickly eliminated any monster that tries to enter their territory and so the low rank monsters have begun avoiding the area. Because of this the citizens and travelers who used the long routes to travel into villages before have begun using the shorter forest routes knowing that there’re Golems that is protecting them. Hearing this news merchants and traders have started using the soon to be famous Tironde route that will provide a shorter and safer travel to the lands that makes goods.

Even after being appointed as a Noble to govern the land of Tironde, Gilbert decided it would be wise to use the money he earned to better the lives of the people he govern. He send the young ones with potential to the Academies in the Capital City Siroth, as he feared the Mysterious Magician who vouched for him might get angry if he uses the money for himself, which greatly inconvenience Theo the Magician itself because Gilbert wouldn’t use the money to build a bigger house or buy better furniture and clothing.

Months after Tironde’s economy have gotten better Gilbert was called out for a meeting by the other village chiefs concerning about the future of Tironde and Gilbert’s safety it was then decided that they will migrate on the Farheath Village that only have 86 citizen which quickly rise to over 1000 after they migrated and the village chiefs send out their best fighters to guard Gilbert.

Present

“… Are you listening Theo?” Nelma said.

“Ah, sorry what was it again?” Theo apologetically said.

“Like I said I already finished the thing you taught me, so what should I do next?” Nelma whispered with glistening eyes.

“Oh! That’s amazing Nelma you really have the talent!” Theo happily said but. This girl is so slow! But I must teach her properly how to utilize her Rare Ice Element Magic.” He thought.

“Hehe, So-So what should I do next?” Nelma said with expecting eyes.

“First do something about that fat in your body then I’ll teach you the next step.” Theo said and grabbed Nelma’s belly fat.

“Y-You stupid!” Nelma shouted and a strong right hand slap empowered by Qi flies towards Theo’s face.

“En, so you trained your Qi this much but still not enough.” Theo said blocking her slap with his left hand.

“Amazing I trained Nelma everyday but Theo casually blocks her attacks.” Lorgen said watching the kids have a bout.

“When did Theo become this strong? I only saw him a couple of times training his Qi.” Gilbert said.

“It’s just too bad that Theo is not good at using Magic, with his talent as a warrior combined with the power of Magic he could become a person of Importance.” Lorgen said.

“I don’t think Theo need to have Magic to become strong, with his talent I’m sure he will become a great Knight once he entered the Knight’s Academy in Siroth.” Gilbert said.

It’s not like I can’t do Magic, I’m that Mysterious Magician you kept talking for months every time you two see each other, I’m just hiding my Mana since many people would find it weird if they saw a 10-year old kid with the same amount of Mana as an average Master Magician of this time, even though this amount of Mana is a joke for someone who name himself a Master Magician back in my days. Theo thought after hearing their conversation.

“It’s about time we go, after we hunt some Animal to eat I will make myself wasted on the 10 Crates of Alcohol I bought just to celebrate my Son’s 10th Birthday. We must hurry!” Gilbert said with smile tapping Theo’s right shoulder.

Stop lying you just wanted a reason to get drunk without Mother getting angry at you. Theo thought as he look at his Father in disappointment.
