Chapter 3 - Prologue [3] - Birth of the Magic King

Inside a very large room surrounded by darkness, a very large white crystal with the size of a two-storey building was erected at the very center of the room which gives off some faint light that illuminates the dark room.

On one side of the huge crystal, A young boy with an age of 12 seated himself in the flat surface of it.

"Finally, after a few months of recuperation, I can finally move around." the young boy clenched his hands and observe it.

After that, the young boy turned his attention on the six differently-colored shadows in front of him. Gazing at their appearance on the six, the young boy was having a complicated expression.

He remembered fighting with his life on the line against the six before he loses consciousness and enters the state of suspended animation to heal his dying body—Or he should say after he was reborn.

His body from the last battle was severely damaged to the point that it only appeared intact because of the things that impaled it and made it look like his body is still attached together.

"Young man, we commend you for defeating us that time." said the figure of a very tall muscular, brown-eyed, brown-haired man wearing a pure white armor that emits a golden earthen aura—the gallant figure of the Impregnable God and the Elemental God of Earth, [Orbis].

"That's right, congratulations for becoming the very first Magic King even for the cost of sacrificing your body." added by the figure that shrouded with light.

Blinding long golden hair with wing-like ornaments from both sides of her head. Pair of golden pupils, long eyelashes and cold, beautiful mature face, her porcelain-like skin under a long white dress accompanied with some pieces of golden armors on her arms and feet looked surreal—The Goddess of Eternal Light and the Elemental God of Light, [Celestia], as she looks at the young man in praise.

The young boy widened his eyes what the Goddess of Light said. The magic in his body suddenly went out of control and the place trembled slightly.

"What do you mean by that? I'm perfectly fine now when I checked my body earlier." the young man asked as he narrowed his eyes and stared at the six figures in front of him.

"Ara-ara~ Young man didn't you noticed that huge crystal behind you? Why don't you look at it carefully." said by the black-haired beauty with a blackish-purple pair of eyes, very pale white skin and voluptuous body under a night-colored dress and violet gems for her accessories—the Twin sister of the Elemental Goddess of Light, the Elemental Goddess of Darkness, [Escuria].

With that said, the young boy immediately stands up and turned around to look at the gigantic figure of the crystal.

"What in the world is this..."

the young boy looked at the crystal in shock as he saw something in the middle of the huge thing—As if sleeping, there is the figure of a boy with the exact same features as him.

Like the young boy, the other figure inside the crystal has no visible damage. No wound and no bruises. The only difference is that the figure inside the crystal doesn't have any kind of clothing.

"....!!!"

'What is this? How can this happen to me...'

A look of despair appeared on the young boy's face. He staggered as he unconsciously took a few steps backward.

"Fear not young man, this condition of yours is only temporary." a melodious voice can be heard as a beautiful figure clothed in a blue dress supported the young boy from behind.

Glittering silver hair, rosy-white skin, pale-blue eyes, and a face of a next door pretty elder sister—the Goddess of Everlasting Water and the Elemental Goddess of Water, [Lacus].

"Your body inside that giant crystal is still your body. The body you have right now is just a flesh made from your magic. You unconsciously created a temporary body when your real body is undergoing a process of becoming something greater." explained Celestia who looked at the figure inside the crystal.

"You should be proud. Something like this, it is the first time for since immemorial." a deep voice resounded behind the young boy.

The figure of a tall man wearing shining red armor, scarlet-colored hair, handsome face, and blood-red eyes— Berserk God of War and the Elemental God of Fire, [Ignis].

"You're becoming one of us, a being transcending the life of mortals— The very first Magic King, a very worthy title for a human like you." added the lean man wearing green armor, pale greenish-gold hair, cold handsome face, and glowing green eyes— the God of Everpresent Wind and the Elemental God of Wind, [Zephyrus].

"Boy, after you come out of that crystal, let us fight with everything we have." A glint flashed in his eyes as he took a step forward and ruffled the young boy's hair.

Ever since the young boy turned to look at the figure inside the crystal, he didn't remove his gaze to it. Many thoughts are running to his mind right now and after he heard everything the Gods and Goddesses said to him, the boy seems to finally decide on something.

The young boy approached the giant crystal and used his right hand to caress it as if he was touching a long lost lover. His eyes suddenly become unfocused and a warped smile appeared on his face. Something inside the young boy started to crack.

'I am now a Magic King...'

'I finally reached this level'

'My revenge...!'

"I am the Magic King... Hehehe—HAHAHAHAHAHaa!"

Tears unknowingly started to fall as he laughed his heart out. At the same time, the thing inside the boy continues breaks as his tears washed its fragments away.

The young boy, ever since he left the west kingdom of Edinburgh Empire in search of greater power, never felt so alive for the very first time.

'—My revenge! —Reena!'
