Paragon of Death

Life from birth has been nothing but hell. I lost my parents to some stupid aristocrats whom they offended. Executed for no good reason. My relatives abandoned me and pushed me aside. They feared for their lives and left me and my sister to starve and wander the streets alone! No, this is worse than hell! I watched my sister die of starvation. Her lips were dry and her feet bloody. Her nails were broken and her fingers riddled with cuts. She struggled in my hands and after a few seconds of struggle she passed away. She seemed joyful in death so I prayed mine will come just as swift and merciful as hers. So I stayed in the alleyway, alone with her rotten corpse awaiting my fate for God knows how long. I could see it already. The darkness encroaching from all sides Everyone said death is scary but I say it's the end! Who needs life after death? What is the need for reincarnation? Who would want to return to this crazy world? "It's not yet time for you to go... You have one more task to accomplish as my host" A voice called out to me. I could barely see or speak but how can I miss such a beautiful face? It was an extremely handsome man who gazed at me with tender eyes. "Haven't I suffered enough? Can't I just rest?" I cried out. Why would I want to stay back in such a cruel world? "Don't you want to avenge the death of your parents? Don't you want to become something greater? I can make that happen!" The beautiful man said with an alluring voice. "You... Who are you?" I asked with an anxious heart. My parents always said God is the only one who cares about me! Maybe in my final hours, he has come to save me. "Call me Death..."

Chapter 87: Two sides of a coin

While Damon was still left stunned by the reaction of the son of heaven, he had to admit at the back of his mind he could tell something was wrong. Although he couldn't actually sense the danger like usual, Damon had this strong gut feeling that was danger lurking in the shadows around him.

This is not a gathering of peasants or kids, it was a gathering which involved the most powerful existences in the kingdom and probably in the continent. His arrival and the favor of the son of heaven definitely won't go unnoticed, and neither will these nobles be willing to accept him.

The truth remains that politics in a world is more of a cycle, while some rise, some fall, and some get replaced. As a lone wolf, Damon has limitless potential and as a mage, he was extremely talented. His arrival and insane growth speed meant that in no distant time, this kid would slowly start climbing the ladder and pushing off those ahead of him, taking their place.
