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 48: A bluff

The Chairman's question made Lucien's expression change ever so slightly. He was unable to stop a chuckle from escaping his mouth.

All of the people present tensed up. It was to be noted that the Chairman, one of the strongest people in the Council was exuding his aura in an attempt to gauge Lucien's true strength.

But even in the presence of so many of the Council's strongest people, he remained unphased. He even went as far as laughing. The person closest to him to his right was a short middle-aged man with brown hair and an amicable face.

Seeing the expression on Lucien's face made him involuntarily push his chair away. He didn't know why, but a chill ran down his spine at the moment, and he was not the only one to feel that way.

To Lucien's left, an old woman with grey hair and two scars beneath her eyes frowned as she subconsciously gathered her mana.

"Is something wrong, Mr. Wood? Forgive me if I offended you, I'm merely trying to understand you."
