Glory city

Divine family, servants compound, Glory City :

Tai Long woke up with jerk and looked around taking a deep breath. He panted heavily and held his head. It throbbed in pain as he gazed at the appearance in the mirror. He felt thousands of needles prickling his skin and frowned.

As Tai Long woke up from his gorggy state, his eyes became more clearer and he shouted," Shit, I travelled to Tales of demons and gods ", Tai Long flinched at his own words and he immediately pretend to sleep on his bed while the door opened and a harsh voice appeared," Damn you bastard. Why are you shouting in the middle of night huh? ".

Receiving no response the man closed the door and muttered," Strange I heard a voice definitely. Could it be I'm dreaming? ", Tai Long took a deep breath. He then stood up and glanced at himself in mirror. He gulped as he saw the memories of the boy. This boy is a servant family belonging to divine family.

But his parents died in demon beast invasion defending the city. So the divine famiky provided pension to him and soon he will be tested to see if his talent is enough to send him to nurture and let him the holy orchid academy in future.

At this time he is 11 years old. Almost reaching 12. Do you know why big families have less soul force even though they have resources and all. It's because of the soul realm. The soul ream solidifies and one can cultivate only after it solidifies. This is tested when they're 12. After the next few months it's about martial arts to stabilise the realm and then next few months is given for soul force cultivation.

This is also even the big families cultivate onky to 89 points at maximum even with all resources. They can't cultivate since childhood, there is a period for soul realm forming. Without the formation of soul realm no one can cultivate.

In a few days if his talent isn't enough, he will thrown to working servants who will clean, wash, serve the soul masters. And this life let's is miserable. If a soul master gets angry and smash it'll be over. You're as good as dead. The chore servants even don't receive proper cultuvation resources. Though they'll have good accommodation and food. Food will be prepared by the servants themselves in kitchen. The salary is also 150 demon soul coins per a person.

So if you don't have a talent for cultuvation say bye bye to your calm life. Soul masters are known for their knack in trouble with servants. Although divine family don't allow it who can guarantee about your safety. Besides soul master is important and no one will question them even if a servant is dead. They can just replace another servants but soul masters on level of bronze and silver are also important, they'll be recruited directly and is hard to find.

Don't look at anime and manga then say it's easy to find. It's not, after the war with demon beasts every family is constantly recruiting the demon spuritualists. Even a bronze rank is recruited instantly as soon as one appears. More over there is only one legend rank here, other than that only handful of black gold rank, hundreds of gold rank.

What about others. Silver and bronze rank will thousands but when it comes to the share of 3 major families, 7 noble clans, and then 20 aristocratic clans. If a commoner expert rise to power they'll immediately try to recruit thag family, either by friendly terms or iron grip.

There is no mercy in this city and even politics are everywhere. It's not so beautiful picture like it's shown in the anime. Even the commoner friends of Nie Li has the backing of Nie Li and City Lord to avoid this kind of coercion. Tai Long is a servant of divine family already. He has seen all the means of these major families.

If someone with talent arose it's a way to absorb them or destroy them if you can't control. Sacred family is a clear example for this. They used all kinds of means for this. Tai Ling took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He goes to his money pouch and looked into it. In addition to the money left behind by his parents like 10000 demon spirit coins which he didn't tell anyone, and pension from the family which is 150 coins per person there is nothing. The money from parents is hidden under the bed by Tai Long before.
