Average Mage wants to reach the Apex
All Zed ever wanted to achieve in his life was to become one of the greatest mages of all time. However, reality was cruel as not everyone was equal. No amount of hard work could defeat talent. Similarly, no amount of hard work could change your status in life. Whether you were born a peasant or a noble, that is the destiny you must live on. Zed learned this the hard way but even until his last moments, he refused to give up. After his passing, he woke up to an entirely different world with different values and culture. Would he be able to reach greatness this time? - Volume 1 is more focused in developing the bonds between the characters while volume 2 is where the story will truly begin. Oh and if you can't deal with an old man trapped in the body of a child (MC) and is raising other children but the children in turn, develops romantic feelings for the MC. Then this isn't for you. But don't get this mistaken, there isn't any pedophiliac content. The MC only considers them family.... for now...? Maybe, I don't know. Stay and find out? Up to you.

Chapter 189
Chapter 189: The First Match
Standing on a large circular stage with chambers of fire hung from the ceiling. Blood painted the walls and floor accompanied by visceral remains that was left from the previous battles.
That was the current place where Zed was standing at.
And in front of him was a man of average build.
He had a thin physique, slightly pale skin, and sunken eyes with dark circles around them. Coupled along with his thin and long nose that made him look like a goblin, one could say that Zed's person was aesthetically unpleasant to look at.
He wore a dirty cropped sleeveless jacket that showed his lean arms and torso while lastly, he had oversized pants whose ends were tied to his ankles so they may not fall off.
The man then licked his lips before making a crooked smile.
"So you're going to be my opponent this time? A cripple? Seriously?"
He licked his lips again. "This is going to be a free meal.... thanks master~."
