I am now 13 years old. My general study will end within 3 month's. After 3 month, i can no longer stay in schools dormitories nor can eat 2 times a day for free from then on.
As a orphan, i will be send back to the orphanage where my past self
grew up. I checked my predecessors memory, and instantly decided not to go back there.
Living conditions there are very poor and unhealthy. The food is also very low quality because of the corruption of the orphanage management officials.
If i still didn't have my mana tip-off even after a year. Then they will send me to the military academy. There i have to serve the country till my last breath.
While walking around the busy and bustling market, thinking about military academy, i spit out in disgust.
Because they raised you from childhood, you must repay them by working for them for your whole life! From childhood, they are (orphans) brainwashed that serving the king and his kingdom is a moral duty for all.
If i don't have my mana tip-off by the end of the next year, i will erase the 'orphan mark' behind my neck,run away from this city and start to live with a new identify in a new city!
'Orphan mark' is a not on of those special mana marks but a normal seal using a special ink which will not go away from the skin so easily.After a children joins a Orphanage, they will given a special seal in their neck.It identify that they belongs to the orphanage.Or the property of the of this kingdom.
You can erase this mark after spending a lot of gold coins by Illegal means.
For now, i will not erase this mark. This identity is still useful to me. I will not abandon it unless i have left with no choice.
Those orphans, who are lucky enough to have mana tip-off, will be invited by various factions and organisations. They will offer them many facilities and good treatment.Many powerful families send marriage proposals to them.
After becoming a rank one mage, most mages fertility rate goes down to the bottom. So most of the teens of age 14 will get married at this time to leave behind their bloodline or add a root of their family in this world!
This 1 year vacation is a very important time for the future mages. Most of the boys will become dads and girls will get pregnant. After that year, they will say goodbye to all of their family and friends to start a new life.
Busy in these miscellaneous notions, i kept walking around the bazar.
I am now looking for a disguise robe to hide my appearance before going to a busy taverns, it will be a wise decision to hide my real teen face.
Taverns are always full of many kind of people. From mercenaries to common people, all can be found there drinking and talking with each other. Because of alcohol or excitements, they they will reavel lot of information unknown, which is the best way to stay up to date with various information.
Occasionally, people from out of the city or country will come there to spend time and chat. So if lucky, you can also hear a things or two about the outside world!
To stay in those places, you must be at the very least a young man. I am just a teenager in 13. They will take me a as a easy bullying object.
Soon, i found what i was looking for. In a very gothic style clothes shop, i found a big dark robe which covers my whole body. After wearing it, i came In front of the mirror to look.
A dark robed men is standing upright. All of his body is covered in a dark robe. The hood is covering half of the face from head to nose. The rest of the half of the face is loosely covered by the big upward collars from the neck . Long sleeves in both hands which extended to the wrist. If wear black gloves and socks, no even an inch of skin can be seen from the others eyes.
This is really me! It looks like a mage to me. I am currently 5.6 foot tall which is considered an average height in this colos city area.I can see clearly with my eyes even if i am covered in hood!
This robe is just a cheap and poor imitation of a real mage robes which has various types of offensive and defensive mana inscriptions.
This robe is also inscribed but not with mana materials but with the alchemy materials. It has some normal alchemy inscriptions such as -
1. You can see out side of your hood, but outsiders can't.
2. It will never get wet from water (raincoat!)
3. It will never get dirty by ordinary dust and sweat.
4.It is weight 1 kilogram, but after wearing it, you will feel no weight of this robe. You will feel as if you are naked!
Remembering the shop owners remark of this robe, Aetius nodded. This inscription are really helpful for me. Unfortunately there are no offensive or defensive inscribes, but to trick the mortal muscle heads, it is enough.
Ordinary people has no way of know
He kept the robe on and came to the desk where the owner of this shop is now humming a unknown song or something. The owner of this shop is a beautiful lady around her 30s.
As soon as she looked at me she was stunned for a few seconds and started to smile and said mischievously,
"My my my, look at you. You were just a cute boy a moment ago, now you look like sexy hunk all of sudden.Wanna come to this lonely lady's place for a cup of wine?"
With saying this she bent on the table and started to show me her cleavage with eyes burning with lust.
I quickly become stunned after hearing her words. What is this lady talking about out of nowhere?
Seeing that i didn't give any reply, she though i may be hesitating to whtere to go with her or not.
She bit her lower lips and started to rub her left boobs with her hand. In a seductive voice she said,
"Don't be nervous, this senior will not gonna be rough. So wanna join me? " She pointed her figer to a door right side of her desk with perverse intentions.
"How much is this robe? " I didn't wanted to talk nonsense with her so i asked the price.
With a dissatisfied eyes, she replied ,
"500 gold coins only. "
I shook my head and replied,
"How about 300? "
She replied, "Kid you may not know, but let me tell you. This robe is enchanted by skilled craftsman's with rare ingredients. I can only lower 50 gold coins at best.
Or it is not that I can't sell this robe to you at half the price if you accept my offer. " She coyly replied.
After a round of hard bargaining , i succeeded in buying this robe at the cost of 350 coins.
"Kid, you are very tough and heartless . From this lady's life experience, i can guarantee that you will break a lot girl's heart and make them cry! " She said with a annoyed face.
I didn't mind her comments because i will definitely make a certain bitch cry blood tears. That bitch is non other than that fvcking CELINE.
