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 132
Chapter 132: Disappointment
Wen Guozhi rose from the ground, feeling very disappointed with himself. The wound on his forehead had long healed and only traces of his blood remained on the floor.
'...Why did it come to this...' He sighed depressingly.
The legacy and ideals that their forefathers fought for... was destroyed right in front of his eyes.
'No... perhaps it has been destroyed a long time ago... Why didn't I see it? How could I let this happen?'
He wanted to beat himself up and redeem himself but he doesn't know where to start.
His beloved sect was headed for ruins as they defect to the Demonic Faction.
What about everything his forefathers and ancestors fought for? What of the legacy and righteous ideals and values that they left for their descendants.
And those very descendants was abandoning their roots for the sake of reaching even greater heights.
