The Beginnings and the past [2]

The door to a luxurious room opened and in came a man looking to be in his 40's wearing a Butler's outfit with a well groomed moustache, he had black hair and black eyes.

Bowing respectfully the butler bowed as he said in a respectful tone.

"Master Lazarus, Rasddison is here in your service"

Lifting his face he looked at the figure before him.

A boy looking to be 8 years of age with white hair and bright golden eyes with slit-like pupils which looked like a predator's, sitting imposingly on a couch tapping on a tablet.

His beautiful figure couldn't be compared to anyone whatsoever.

Without sparing the butler named Rasddison as much as a glance Lazarus spoke.

"Yeah, took you long enough, go and prepare a meeting with my father, tell him I will be participating in the family's trial next week."

Rasddison's eyes widened in shock and disbelief, "B-But master the tri–"

"Huh, what's this? A mere servant dares to question it's masters decisions, it seems like you have given up on living"

Lazarus spoke in a cold tone making Rasddison realise it's mistake as he bowed and left the room.

Click!

'tch, annoying piece of crap'

Lazarus clicked his tongue inwardly.

'These bastards act all submissive and loyal but it's all just an act, once the truth of me having a talent ranking of D becomes public they will all become defiant and slowly will start to ransack my own wealth' 

One might think why is that as the heir of the Blackthorn family I should still have some authority.

And that's the main problem, no way in hell would the Blackthorn family's head ever be so weak, and so my place will be given to my younger brother, Liam Blackthorn.

And I will be branded as the tras of the Blackthorn family.

In the Novel, at the age of 10 when the ranking potential of the humans is tested, Lazarus got a D ranked potential because of which he was inadvertently kicked from the seat of the family head and also he was neglected to the point of getting disowned.

In desperation he resorted to extreme measures like drugs, alcohol and criminal acts which were so atrocious even with this word's standards.

His vile acts which were unbefitting of a noble got him kicked out of the family.

Enraged, Lazarus joined hands with the villains and became a villain himself, killing thousands of people and violating them became his passtime, at the end he was killed by the "YOU GUESS WHO?".

Who might it be other than our so righteous PROTAGONIST, Noah Fairborn.

Clank!

Clack!

Walking down a spacious corridor with a red carpet was an extremely beautiful woman with long white hair flowing through her back like waves till her hips, she was in her late 30's but looked as young as a 30 year old, a small face with sharp features, yellow almond shaped eyes with thick eyelashes.

Her figure which looked perfect from all the standards and her porcelain white skin which did nothing but enhance her beauty even more with small red lips, wearing a long flowing blue dress with red high heels she stopped in front of a huge door.

With a smile on her face she pushed open the door, inside what appeared was a huge room with white walls and a huge table with different varieties of exquisite cuisines lined neatly on it.

At the end of the table three figures could be seen sitting and talking among themselves.

Hahah….

Gasp..

Really, he said that….

That's really good isn't it...

Yeah, haha….

Their laughter resounded across the huge dining room, as the women who just entered pouted and walked towards them.

The three as if finally noticing someone's presence turned their heads towards the entrance and what created them was the scene of a mesmerising woman walking towards them with a cute pout on her face.

"Mom.." 

"Mother!.."

Two of three, a boy looking to be 7 years old and a girl who seemed to be 10 called out to her in a cheerful manner.

The woman smiled brightly as she took a seat beside the third person, a man looking to be in his late 30's, he had long silver hair and light golden eyes, a handsome face with a muscular build and a height of 6"1', he looked more charming than anyone his age.

They were the four out of the five members of the Blackthorn family, the current family head, Maximus Blackthorn, the women sitting next to Maximus, Lucia Blackthorn, the Blackthorn corporation's CEO, and two children, their youngest son Liam Blackthorn, and the eldest of the three siblings, Ava Blackthorn.

"So, what have you all been gossiping about without me." 

Lucia asked the three with a flat full pout.

"Ah you see." 

Maximus scratched his neck awkwardly as didn't know how to say this to her.

"I actually don't know how to say this but….."

"Brother entered the Blackthorn Trials, Without anyone knowing"

Liam spoke cheerfully as if boasting about it, both Maximus and Ava's faces hardened, with a jittering head they creaked their heads towards Lucia who had a dangerous smile on her face.

Seeing her smile both the father and daughter duo got a bad premonition as though sitting here might mean courting death, but before they could flee, a hand grabbed them both, sweat rolled down their faces profusely as blank lines appeared on Lucia's face.

"W-What did you just say, he entered the trials, without any guards, and you guys are here laughing"

Her chilling voice made both their spines shiver.

Meanwhile the unsuspecting Liam was humming and enjoying his meal.

Looking at him both Maximus and Ava thought, "God damn simpleton!"

Entering the basement of the Blackthorn family's estate Lazarus took off his black robe.

Haa..

'reaching here was much harder than I thought, i had been studying the movement of the guards for the last three weeks and finally i was able to find a small time gap in which no guards were present guarding the basement'

And what's so important in the basement you ask, well it's a family secret so, hush…..

Cough.

With a dry cough Lazarus thought.

'The First Dungeon in the human domain, The Infinity Cavern'

A huge white metallic gate with golden engravings on it stood tall and wide, its majestic appearance enough to make one feel awed in its presence but as if to truly boast its presence the pressure coming out of the door is enough to crush a human adult let alone an 8 year old….

….but, looking down at his black robe which was embroidered with golden and silver threads shining brightly even in the dark, it's all because of this.

A magic artefact, an A ranked one at that.

Ok now i know i know it's getting repetitive but bare with me, 

Dungeons are pocket dimensions connected with different planets, generally with plants which have been abandoned or are desolate with high magicule concentration.

People in this era capitalise on these Dungeons because well, not everywhere can you find stuff from another planet all together, dungeons have many goods to offer, like minerals, herbs, artefacts, weapons and sometimes even treasures like grimoire and magic spells or a skill book.

Artefacts, it's a common term used for everything that has magicules and Psyons infused in it, it could be a pen or a weapon, a vehicle or a ring or even clothes or Armor, anything.

Some are useful and most are utterly useless.

Grimoire, they are something that only pure magic users can utilise, they are magic archives which contain very detailed information about a specific magic field or even other kinds of energies.

Magic scrolls are pieces of paper infused with complicated calculations which can be used when creating an array or when using a normal magic spell.

Skill books are something that's very rare and very little information is known about them, that's if we are talking about the knowledge of this world, but as the reader of this novel I know what skill books are.

They are, GOD DAMN CHEAT ITEMS THAT LET PEOPLE LEARN SPECIFIC OVERPOWERED ABILITIES WHICH CAN OR CANNOT BE REPLICATED BY USE OF MAGIC.

and only the main characters have them in this world.

And of course I am not one of them.

'Now it's time, to enter this place'

'The Infinity Cavern'

The dungeon which is a secret to the whole world, and the place where the protagonist will obtain an item which will help him overturn a war in humanities favour, of course i don't give an ounce of shit about that, all i want is that item for myself right now, because without it, i will surely not survive this world.

Lazarus Blackthorn, a boy who was born with no Psyon affinity, a mid level villain who dies without much effort because of his powerlessness.

But this time it will be different, magic might have abandoned me but there is no way in hell I would give up so easily.

This novel has no path for me to walk on so I will just create a path for myself.

With that thought Lazarus walked into the Dungeon.

Three months later a news was released which shook the whole Blackthorn territory, the heir to the Blackthorn family, Lazarus Blackthorn has perished....
