Legacy of the Dark Sage
When Kyran turned 18, his life turned upside down. The Royal Army raided his clan because his supposedly non-existent magic got exposed. On that fateful night, he was the only one who escaped. Up to the present, the status of his clan was unknown. A magic inheritance that became a curse, Kyran became a fugitive. Always on the run... living in fear when the Royal Army finally captures him. At least that's what most people thought... "I'll definitely save my family. And I will make all those who made my clan suffer pay tenfold. I'll make use of this magic they so feared, and show them what real terror is...." Disclaimer: The cover image isn't mine. I'll replace it when I finished mine.
The Dark Sage (2)
Instead of sending his essence to the Lower Realm, Deus sent one of his clones. This was to prevent a similar thing from happening to him, like Midnight when she suffered a huge backlash after her essence was destroyed.
Although there was little difference between a clone and an essence, the former's connection to the original body had less influence compared to the latter. Thus, the damage dealt to the original body was minimal when a clone was destroyed.
But to Deus's utter shock, his clone's destruction caused cracks to appear on his magic core. This was actually far more dangerous than suffering a backlash after your essence was destroyed— at least it would not leave cracks on one's magic core.
Because of this, Deus had to stay low for the meantime while his magic core recuperated. To avoid confrontation with the other Overlords, which could aggravate his magic core, he decided to send his report to The Emperor using a private channel.
