Memories

Triumph was upset, no frustration would be the best word to use. He didn't know what to do at all, there were atleast three wolves that didn't fall into the pit, either because they stopped in time or they didn't pounce on him.

But that definitely wasn't the reason behind his frustration, instead it was because of the fact that one of the three was bigger than the rest and more dominating, he didn't need anyone to tell him before he knew directly that, that was the Alpha of the wolves, if the Alpha didn't fall for his plan he was pretty much doomed, but he wasn't one to just fall without a fight, he would fight till the very end, he didn't know where such boldness came from, nor how he got here but that didn't matter now to him because after all, he either leave here alive or die a rotten death. Just then he spoke to the System, he had decided to stop calling it Screen display system, because after all it was still part of the system. So he spoke to the system;

"System, show me my status, I want to know how much energy I have left"

[Ding**

Affirmative.

Host Status:

Health: 50% out of 100%

Energy Level: 7%

Strength: Unknown

Mission: Escape Death, has progress by 85% out of 100%]

'So I used 3% of the energy? Wait, now that I see it I ran a few hundred meters in just about 4 minutes? Incredible' Triumph thought of this, almost cracking a smile, but remembering where he was, he held it before it even showed. Then he gave another command to the system, after suddenly getting an idea.

"System share 5 percent energy to my right fist, I want to crush em' all"

[Ding**

Affirmative. Transmitting Energy to Host's Right fist, 5% energy has successfully been transmitted]

Triumph felt Energy flow through his body and finally it's destination was at his right hand, and he folded it into a fist, and looked at the wolves, then he smiled menacingly, he could swear that he saw them shuddered ever so slightly, but a second later it was gone, making him feel it was just his imagination. Then he launched at the nearest wolf close to him and gave it a very hard punch, which made it fly back so fast and then it hit it's head on a hard wall, and then it fell to the ground lifeless, the punch had made it pass out, and as it hit the rough surface of the wall with it's head, so it had died. Then without giving himself a break, he launched forward at the other wolf taking it by surprise and punching it hard on it's head, and it had passed out too, but not dead. Due to the force of the first punch he landed on the first wolf, it had taken 3% Energy, so it had flew away due to the force. So he was left with 2% Energy which had not been enough to make the other wolf fly away, but it was still enough to make it pass out as it had been taken by surprise and not had enough time to react. But now all that was left was a very cautious and mad Alpha who looked at him with bloodshot eyes, it would have been enough to make another person pee on his pants, but as Triumph was very exhausted, he just stared back with tired eyes, his initial thought was that he was going to transfer the remaining 2% energy to his right fist, but he stopped himself as he was very sure that it would not work, for so many reasons, but he was only able to make out two, but they were already so dangerous that he was sure, even someone insane would think twice before taking the decision.

The first reason was that, it was the energy that had given him a temporary boost in health, and now that it was just 2% energy left, his health was just 15% and if he used up the 2% energy left, he would collapse then and there.

And the second reason was that he knew that the wolf was now cautious, so he couldn't take it by surprise, and this wolf was bigger that the rest so even if he managed to take it off guard, which is impossible, the 2% energy would not be enough to make it pass out, so he knew that was a dead man's mission. And he also knew he was doing himself more harm than good.

He wasn't even able to move his body, he fell to the floor weak, and he just thought to himself, asking whether this was the end.

Just then the Alpha of the wolf pack pounced on him, but as it was about to touch him, it froze and then turned to dust, with a small Cristal like object falling to the ground. Then he heard a voice from his right, which made him froze, and just then the system's notification sounded in his mind.

[Sub-Routine activated.

Mission Completed.

Mission Reward: Full healing as commenced, and memories of host present life in this body as been unlocked, deploying...]

Then a flood of memories came to him all at once, he was just about to pass out, but with gritted teeth's he tried to stay conscious, he wouldn't want to pass out in front of a total stranger. Then he remembered all his memories (atleast the memories of his present life if he was to follow what the system said) one by one, almost like reliving it all over again.

He remembered it all now, his name was Triumph Darcen Grafella from the Grafella royal family, 8th Prince of the kingdom of Vandaline, the most handsome of all his brothers on the outside, but a total loser in the inside.

He had always been bullied for him not having talent in being mage, but he still tried, he still learnt and he finally managed to have some progress after trying for years, he then found out he had a little talent for Wizardry, and after all the grueling training, he finally had a break through, he became a 1st grade Wizard, and after trying a little bit more, he got more better, but it seemed like the heaven's were against him, as no matter how he trained he couldn't train past the 1st grade and most of his peers surpassed him and were already 2nd grade wizards, they all laughed at him, and humiliated him.

Note: The magic system of Westland is very special and unique, so let's talk about rankings, magic and body refiners (Fighters) prowess.

When someone is young, at the age of 3, their grade/rank can be checked.

The grades and ranks of both a mage and a fighter are similar. There are different types of grades and ranks starting from Grade/Rank S being the strongest to the Grade/Rank Failure being the weakest. It is arranged like this:

Grade/Rank S, A, B, C, D, E, F and Failure.

Ranks are used to measure Mages and Magicians, while grades are used to measure Fighters.

The higher the grade, the lesser amount of time used for training the body. For example, a grade S would take atleast 2 months of training all day and resting at night to break through to the first realm, which we will be discussing soon, but for a grade A, it would take 4 months of training in the day and resting at night for him to break through.

Samething goes for Mages, who has Rank. And also a rank Failure is someone who has zero talent in both being a mage and a fighter, while a rank F is also someone who has little magic energy in their body. Magic energy are what are used to get the rank of a mage. While to test a fighter, the fighter would have to run through a series of exercise to text his body grade. Wizards and Witches do not use grades or ranks to measure their talent, with enough training and years of hard work, one can breakthrough to become 1st grade Wizards or Witches, but that is their limit and nothing can make them pass that bottleneck, only those who has the blood of wizards and witches can progress further.

As for the realms and power levels in the Continent of Westland, they are as follows:

Nascent Realm, Tyro realm, Origin Realm, Expert realm, Void realm, True Realm, Master realm.

Each of the realms has 4 stages and they are as follows: Amateur Stage, Eminent Stage, Great Stage, Peak Stage. For example in the Nascent Realm, someone at the peak stage would be called a peak Nascent, while someone at the Eminent stage would be called an Eminent Nascent, it is the same as the others. There are also people who are born with abilities and they are called Magicians (i.e someone born with fire ability would be called a fire magician), and they are also measured by ranks, a magician can cultivate if he is born lucky and those who can cultivate are called cultivators depending on their rank, for example, a magician who can cultivate and is a rank D, he is called a Rank D cultivator.

And there are also a certain number of gifted people in the continent of Westland, who are called Shifters, they can shift into different animals and mythical beings. For example, a Tiger shifter is a human, who can transform into a Tiger anytime he wants, same as other animals, and there are also humans who can shift into other mythical beings such as Vampires (Vampire shifter), Demons (Demon Shifter), Dragons (Dragon shifter). Dragon and Demon's shifters are very rare and people believe they have gotten extinct.

So now, back to the story....

Triumph remembered, he was a grade F, a rank Failure and nothing much to himself. He even remembered how he got to the hill, his brothers had just laughed at him and his friends bullied him, so he came here to have free time, but when he arrived there, he had been attacked by Assassin's who wanted to kill him, he tried fighting back, but it was hopeless, they overpowered him easily and beat him until he had to use a 2nd grade wizard's spell, that stopped his heart from breathing and blocked his breath, so that he would convince them he was dead, but it came with a backlash as he was not at that level yet, and the back lass was loss of memory, and he was lucky because as his heart had stopped beating, he nearly died, the assassin's only stopped and left when they were sure he was dead. But just as he was about to reverse the spell, he lost consciousness as his heart had stopped beating for more than six seconds, he thought that he was dead, and when the System had woken him up by speaking in it's robotic voice, he had lost his memories.

It was now that Triumph truly saw that the system was truly a God saving tool, as it had been able to lift a 2nd grade Wizard spell, with ease, something that would take time and effort for even a 3rd grade wizard, it was truly wondrous. His memories would have still been restored with or without the system's help, but it would have taken atleast a week.

But if he was being truthful, he was very happy to have forgotten his memories, forget all those time when his brothers laughed at him and when his friend bullied him because they had more power than him.

But there were still something that did not fit at all, what where those memories he remembered of someone being stabbed, green vibes growing from the earth to cover a body, a promise he didn't even remember and someone called Leila whom he was promising to. But he just put that all aside as he turned to the person who had spoken before and the person who had helped him just in time before the Alpha wolf had had the swallow him
