He fluttered his eyes open, before sitting up right. "That old man is crazy..." Vincent—or should i say Cassian said sighing at the same time.
"Anyways... How long was i out?." *He grabbed his head, standing up while balancing using the wall. He looked out the window through the kitchen. The sun was setting. Weird... It's only been a few minutes at most?... I swear it felt like I was there for days as that gramps taught me.
"Great... I need to train." He mumbled before his stomach growled. "I guess I'll eat first."
He grabbed a loaf of bread as he took a bite from it. It's lonely here... I miss avelinee... I guess i still aren't used to this. That emperor wants me to assassinate the 6 orthodox gods? What does he think I am? A miracle invoker?. He lampooned in his thoughts.
He swallowed before taking another bite off the bread. Speaking of that old man... His explanation of mana halls and Arcanic Heiarchy of the Arcanic Path which he says is the equivalent of magic... Was actually really good. I can't lie about that, although it's much harder than what I have learned about magic.
My brain's fried from him teaching all that... Will i meet him again? Probably not... Oh right!. I need to register at the hunter association tomorrow... I need to train my body and start working on my magic too. So much to do~

Rainze - 300+ Years into the future (1)
"Woah..." Rainze smiled, before he stopped at this page. Vincent is really energetic and a trainaholic!. He lampooned in his mind.
Rainze's hand scrambled through his pockets before grabbing the bookmark. Putting it inside the book before closing it
it was called "Prince of Fate" the very first volume of it. It starts off 300 years into the past from the time rainze is in. The main character being—
Well... That's a story for another time, Back to Vincent we go!.

I finished eating the bread, grabbing a cup of water gulping it all down. Wiping the excess from my lips with the back of my hand.
"That should be enough food..." I strode over to the library before stopping at the doorway... I clutch my chest, breathing heavily. Sweating all over. My body! It's hot... All over... It's hurts...
Damnit! Why now?... My lungs got tighter, as they felt like they were being forcefully crushed little by little. Meanwhile my breathing got heavier. As a result, my eyesight blurred. Ringing noises and odd sounds began filling my ear instead. Nauseous! It's making me nauseous!
It felt like I could vomit. My stomach felt like it was being forcefully emptied out even though it wasn't.
"Poison?... Is it poison?..." I grunted. My mind's thoughts felt like it was being stolen by the minute. Every second wasted meant one more thought taken. Until there's nothing left of my thoughts.
My thoughts!, they're being taken—
My breathing got heavier and heavier. As I quickly hurried myself over to the stairs. Climbing up the stairs in a hurry, Damn it! Ever since i touched that clown by accident when i took the flyer I've been like this...
The stairs creaked under my weight, my legs wobbled, my muscles weak before I collapsed onto my knees, my breathing heavier now. Hot scorching agony all over, I held the railing of the stairs gripping it as hard as I could muster. Before using it as a catalyst so I could stand up.
I coughed up blood, keeping my eyes open with all my willpower. "This is a divinity... But whose?—" i coughed up more blood, i steadied myself.
Which deity gave me this?... Crap. I coughed up more blood.
I walked slowly, the floorboards moaning under my steps. Slowly I made my way to the bed collapsing onto it. As sleep took me over. With out a second thought, i let my conciousness go aswell.
———
Darkness ingulfed my entirety, my entire being. My conciousness all together.
My senses were gone, no. To be exact, it was being distorted. Forcefully stopped, by some unknown outer source.
Everything felt, cold. Lifeless.
Suddenly my eyes fluttered opened, to a stone wall infront of me?... I looked around just as quick to see I was in a room. A room with a bit of an ancient feel and aesthetic to it.
Where am I?! I grunted, looking around my body only to find that I was wearing unfamiliar clothes. A nobles wear. Something you would find a noble, a high ranked one wearing in past about 1,000 or more years ago. "Isn't this the old trend among nobles before?..."
I patted my body to make sure it is real. Every part of my senses is telling me this is real. But my gut says otherwise. Damn it, just where am I?!.
Holding the wall as support, I pushed myself up. Before going towards the door. Trying to open it but to no avail. "It's locked..." I muttered under my breath before I instinctively covered my left arm in aura. Atleast tried so. But instead Sword Qi covered it instead.
A lesser form of aura, less condensed, less powerful. I forgot I can't use aura!. I scoffed as I pulled the door open blasting it off it's hinges. Before it suddenly electrocuting my arm, overriding my sword ki easily.
Pain overwhelmed my senses, before I could let out a scream I bit down on my lips to prevent it quickly letting go of the door. As the electrocution stopped finally.
"That fucking hurts!."
I panted... Holding the wall for support.
After a few seconds. Recovering finally. I walked out the door or where the door used to be to find a grand hallway infront of me with seemingly no end despite being fully lit...
Everything in the hallway was decorated with grand and expensive decorations and paintings. Contrast to the room I came from.
Where am I exactly?! This doesn't explain anything at all!.
