In a dark room, a youth was sitting in front of a table. On the table was an ancient book.
"Titan Continent, year 108 of the industrial era. Magical beasts invaded. The human front collapsed and retreated to the southern border. At this point, the industrial era has ended and humanity has entered the soul era."
"Magical beasts."
Closing the book, the youth frowned slightly.
The youth's name was Copperfield. He was a transmigrator. Three years ago, he had transmigrated to Titan Continent. Unfortunately, when he transmigrated, his family had already fallen.
Fortunately, when Copperfield transmigrated, he had also fused with the 13-year memories of this body.
His father was once the city lord of Titan City who was in charge of military power, the person in charge of the Russell family. Unfortunately, his father had fallen during the third large-scale battle with the magical beasts. Even Titan city had been completely swallowed by the magical beasts.
On that day, the magic beasts that covered the sky swept over. Millions of humans built a city wall with their flesh and blood to cover the women, children, and the elderly in the city to retreat.
But...
How could a human body withstand the magical beasts?
And because of that, Copperfield's father was buried in Titan City.
He died in glory!
Unfortunately, although Copperfield's father died in glory, his death was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the nobles of the world. Naturally, the Russell family was forgotten.
As a result, the current Copperfield was even branded as the descendant of the sinners of Titan city.
But if it wasn't for his father stopping the magical beasts back then, humans never would have been able to retreat to this small southern border!
"Young master, it's time to rest."
A voice filled with the vicissitudes of life pulled Copperfield's thoughts back.
The youth turned his head and saw that it was his teacher, Terrence.
After that battle, only he and Copperfield relied on each other.
According to his teacher's words, he had once made an oath to be loyal to the Russell family for generations. As long as the inheritance of the Russell family wasn't cut off, he was the sharp sword in the hands of the Russell family. The point of the sword was to press forward with an indomitable will!
"Young Master, tomorrow is the day to awaken the soul. It's really not early."
"The soul, huh."
Copperfield answered softly.
When Terrence saw this, he also stepped out of the room.
Just as the records in the ancient books stated, after the end of the Titan continent's industrial era, due to the large-scale invasion of Magical Beasts, the entire continent officially entered the soul era!
In the beginning, the industrial power was unable to resist the sudden invasion of magical beasts. After that, there were continuously powerful humans who started awakening souls in order to have the power to fight against Magical Beasts!
This power was the soul!
The first generation of soul awakeners did not have the time to concentrate on honing their skills. They could only continuously squeeze out their potential in the fight against the magical beasts. They groped for the power of their tool soul and rapidly grew in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they seized a piece of pure land with their human bodies under the sharp claws of the magical beasts. This gave future generations the possibility to grow and left hope for the human forces on the Titan continent.
Now, every young person who had reached the age of sixteen would participate in the local soul-awakening ceremony in the same year, awakening their own soul and embarking on the path of cultivation.
Souls were mainly divided into two major categories, which also formed the two major occupations of today, which are being a Battle Soul Master and being a Blacksmith!
A Battle Soul Master, as the name implied, was the name for an awakened who had awakened a powerful tool soul weapon and could engage in a head-on battle with magical beasts!
Soul Masters hunted demonic beasts and absorbed the soul crystals produced from the demonic beasts, thus strengthening their own soul power and improving their own abilities.
Soul Masters with different strengths, after continuous trial and error, finally decided to distinguish the strength between Soul Masters with nine levels, with an increasing number of stars representing each level.
It was unknown what was after the strength of nine stars.
Every time a star level rose, one would be able to obtain a skill that belonged to their own soul!
In this world, there were many extremely powerful souls, such as the Frost Grief Greatsword, the Ash Emissary Longsword, the Illidan Shield, and so on. After the awakening of these powerful weapon souls, after cultivating, almost all of them became experts who guarded a region, they had the ability to split mountains.
As for the souls themselves, they could also be strengthened through a blacksmith's forging enchantment. This occupation was also known as being a Blacksmith!
The Blacksmiths could use their unique forging techniques to further refine the power of the weapon souls and display even more powerful strength.
Although blacksmiths generally did not awaken powerful weapon souls, they were in a sense a powerful foundation for the country and for those who had awakened their souls.
Therefore, some skilled blacksmiths would also become a strategic resource for the country, receiving the respect and protection of the Battle Soul Masters!
Copperfield's mind quickly flashed with memories of the soul.
However, in Copperfield's memories, his father was a general with great strength. The rumors outside said that his father's tool soul was a long sword.
However, Copperfield knew that the long sword was only his father's battle weapon. His father did not seem to have awakened the tool soul?
Titan City used to be peaceful under his father's control, but for many years.
The comfortable life in the city made the nobles in the city more and more impudent.
They ignored the kingdom's laws and issued orders wantonly, trying to dispatch the country's guards to profit for their own families.
They had forced Copperfield's father to hand over his military power more than once!
Although under Copperfield's father's powerful suppression, there was no chaos for the time being.
However, the nobles' dirty deeds in the dark had caused the decline of Titan City's defensive power.
The final result was that Titan City was broken through in the third large-scale invasion of Magical Beasts!
Every time he thought of this, Copperfield would subconsciously clench his fists!
After his father fought desperately in the past, leading his personal guards to use their flesh and blood to buy time for the remaining forces in the rear to retreat, and finally died heroically in battle!
On that day, under the onslaught of the overwhelming tide of Magical Beasts, the Royal Guards led by his father formed a battle line that stretched for several miles!
There were people who died tragically under the sharp claws of the magical beasts. The warriors on the battle line were like a small boat that was on the verge of collapse. However, from the beginning all the way to the end, no one took a step back!
They fought their way out for the remaining forces of the human race!
The nobles who were lucky enough to escape blamed Copperfield's father who was already dead.
Under the intentional control of the nobles, public opinion quickly defeated the Russell Family who had just experienced a bloody battle.
Terence had no choice but to bring Copperfield to a relatively remote town and settle down temporarily.
"Tomorrow is the soul awakening ceremony."
The candlelight in the room was extinguished.
Copperfield's gaze was deep as he looked into the distance. That was the direction of Titan City, his former homeland. Now, it had become a paradise for magical beasts.
