The Bookstore Mage

Participant of the Webnovel spirity awards, so votes, reviews, and comments are very much appreciated! ******* Following the unfortunate news of his grandfather’s passing, Lucien is forced to go back to his old hometown. As the sole living relative, he gets to inherit his old pop’s bookstore. A place where he had spent most of his childhood. There, however, he finds an ancient book that ends up shaking his view on the world and raising the curtain over a side he never knew existed, one filled with magic, mythical creatures, and all sorts of dangers. “Wait a minute! Are you telling me, grandpa was a wizard?!” Follow Lucien as he slowly unveils the mysteries of this hidden world, meets new people, saves princesses, befriends dragons, and uncovers the ancient secrets of his bloodline. This is the story of the Bookstore Mage. ******* This story is set in a modern-day setting. It’s not earth but a parallel world similar to ours with different countries and all of that. There will be some world-hoping elements down the line. There will be some elements of army building. There will be pets. There will not be any harem, I’m not confident enough to write a realistic one without compromising the relationships. There will be a realistic development of both the MC’s powers and his relationships. This will seem like a slow start, but it will hopefully pick up the pace whilst still being enjoyable. I’m not writing the chapters now, this is an old draft I had for a long time. So the updates will be consistent. And lastly: The cover Is not mine, if the owner would like me to remove it please let me know.

Chapter 54: A strange request

"So, how come you came to me with this?" Lucien asked as he played with the remnant soul in his hand. 

Ian scratched his head and replied: 

"Well, I was hoping that you would have an explanation for what happened. Besides, I'm sure no one else would believe me," a sigh escaped from his mouth. 

Lucien nodded before he spoke: 

"Well, to be honest. I'm not sure myself."

"Huh? Even Mr. Lucien doesn't know?" 

"Well, it's not like I know everything. And drop the Mr. It just sounds strange. Just call me, Lucien." 

Ian subconsciously nodded and agreed. Something that surprised Lucien since he thought the young mage would insist on keeping the formality. 

"So, what are your plans for the remnant soul?" He asked.

Ian paused for a second as he thought about it before he answered: 

"I think I'll just put it up in the upcoming auction."

"Hmm, how come?" surprised, Lucien asked with a raised brow.
