8 Magicae—A New World!

Zion moved his body stiffly, pretending to be a ghost as he walked toward the library. The rumor spread across the guards that a ghost was wandering around in the imperial estate, especially around the crown prince and princess's palaces. So even though this news didn't affect all the library guards, they still had been a little frightened.

Once they saw a familiar face of a person who had just tried to enter the library, they couldn't help but glance at the 'ghost' and shiver. They had all heard the news about this servant 52 dying a tragic death, and even the guards around the princess's palace identified this person.

Then if this person was dead, then who the hell was the man walking toward the library? Was it true? Was this a ghost?!

The guards couldn't help but widen their eyes as their faces turned pale as white. This ghost wouldn't avenge himself for that day, right?

Servant 52 had tried to enter the library, and they couldn't forget this face because the guards had humiliated that servant so severely that the latter showed a crying expression before he left.

After becoming a ghost, that person still remembered to come to the library and test the guards' patience. At this thought, the Dhampir men couldn't help but tremble.

For now, they would pretend that they hadn't seen this ghost entering the library! If only they knew that this man would soon commit suicide, they would have let him enter this library sooner to fulfill that servant's last wish!

Zion, who had seen through those two guards' thoughts, felt even more satisfied in his heart. These Dhampirs were acting just as he had expected. They wouldn't even glance at him out of fright. At this thought, he couldn't help but click his tongue. It was so easy to manipulate people with superstitious minds.

After that, he reached the library, and no one dared to reach up to him. For them, he was a vengeful ghost who could take revenge against his humiliation that day. So they let him do whatever he wanted.

So Zion wandered around the library for almost two hours, going through several scrolls available, and finally found out more about this world.

The name of this world was Magicae, where humans and beings with superpowers often lived in harmony for centuries until one day, humans started making trouble.

It all started two hundred years ago. Their new king was highly ambitious. Not that all the humans were like that. This clan was known for their high thinking and simple living. But unfortunately, their late king had just associated with a female right before going off to hunt for animals. He hadn't even married yet and ended up dying tragically because of many lions.

So the entire palace was in a mess until that prostitute came, claiming that she was pregnant with the king's son. Of course, no one believed her but once the king's relative's blood matched with the baby in the prostitute's womb, they relaxed. They were quite happy seeing that the new king had arrived.

But what they didn't know was that this person didn't have even a speck of royal blood at all! Instead, that prostitute sold her body and gained the support of many royals to sneak out the royal blood.

How did they match the DNA of two types of blood? It was because the world was like the modern setting in Zion's original place.

Zion raised his brows and continued reading.

So after that, the prostitute became the Queen, and her child became the new king. But as the little kid grew up, they all realized that he was very ambitious, and he crossed the limit one day when he took the throne officially. This person dared to go against the entire world and declare that he would indeed become the supreme emperor!

All the races cracked their knuckles as they glared at this human king. What did this little man think he was? A God? If he could declare such a thing, then they could do something like that too!

In this way, the legendary war of all the races began that even wreaked havoc worldwide. People could still find the traces of that legendary war across the world!

But the result was that the race that used to be prominent on this planet, Humans became extinct so much so that at present, people would sell them as exquisite servants or sex slaves at hefty prices or aristocrats displayed them in the museums after their deaths. People even stopped using machines created by humans, and thus, even the technology collapsed.

Zion glanced at his body, which was covered with a grey-colored cloth. His hands and feet seemed to be normal, and even his ears were ordinary. So he was a human who had been rare for the residents of this world.

No wonder his 'death' made such a big fuss here.

But that was the only information available in this library. After that, he read details about how Dhampirs progressed. Half-vampires and half-magicians became the royals since they were the most powerful among all other types of half races.

After reading everything, Zion closed the scroll and walked out.

The guards' faces paled when they saw this 'ghost' again. They didn't dare to say a single word and waited for the man to disappear, and finally sighed in relief.

Even after obtaining information, Zion felt like something was missing. In the scroll, why was it portrayed that humans were the only ones who had ill intentions? Of course, you can blame that greedy human king for that, but this was only one side of the truth. He knew that there might many layers to it he didn't know about.

But this thing wasn't necessary for now. His priority was to save the princess.

Zion frowned at this. How would he save that girl? Everyone blamed her for killing the crown prince, and there was even evidence against her.

Just as he was thinking like this, he heard some guards whispering, "Someone attacked Princess Lia!"

Zion's ears perked up at that.
