Epic Of The Demonic Sage

Lucius was a man born to a pair of lowly servants that worked for the Great Demon worshiping Barrom clan. Growing up in the harsh conditions of the Barrom clan where magic and power reigned supreme, he weathered through humiliation and schemes. Knowing that he wanted to be the oppressor than the oppressed, he began his conquest. Not averse to betraying or scheming, Lucius made use of his allies as mere pawns to be sacrificed. Learning that a powerful artifact lost eons ago was hidden in an ancient ruin, Lucius betrayed and sacrificed one of his closest people, his lover without hesitation. But he didn’t know that fate had a different plan for him and the artifact he had yearned for would send his soul hurtling across the cosmos, forcing it into the broken body of a young man called Asher Inanis. Coming to his senses he finds the world to be completely different where the magic of his previous world did not exist, but what did was ‘Gifts’. Witness how he learns about the world, gains power and reigns supreme against all odds becoming the Demonic Sage. P.S. This is a slow paced novel and has a lot of world development at start. If this is not to your taste, you may not like it. *** I do not own the cover, will remove it if asked. --- join the discord server : discord.gg/fkTbUfBRsH

The Plan - I

Lucius looked at Gabriel and Lita for a moment before beginning to speak.

"As we know that Viscount Drew is going to leave our territory and that will result in our tax agreements on trade being terminated. And if those are terminated, most of the trade would come to a halt in our territory.

But Viscount Drew himself is going to let the Merchants operate without the tax for the time being. This would not only allow him to attract more merchants to his territory, he may even get them to build their branches there.

If he does that, even if he raises his tax in the future, he will keep it less than our territory, letting the merchants and other businessmen stay attached to his territory. We cannot lower our taxes as that would mean, draining our coffers.
