Chereads / The Gods aren't a Threat / Chapter 2 - Next Steps

Chapter 2 - Next Steps

Ace had reincarnated from his old life and became a baby of the Repcaos Family, a high class family with an immense fortune. He was named Ace Deca Repcaos and his parents believed he had 0 potential as it was read by a magic appraiser. After these events, 11 years had passed. Ace learned magic and in his own time refined every spell he knew. He created a spell that he used to awaken 0.0000000000000001% of his power but that was all that would be needed. All of this was done behind Ace's parents Hetria, a powerful mage, and Empyro, an even more powerful mage who also had another job as a Magical Engineer.

In Ace's room, He sat at his desk doing some equations. His hair was a very extraordinary shade of red with a golden stripe. His hair gleamed in the light, his white and black eyes glistened.

"What's the answer to this equation?" he wondered, "Factorise 12a² × 6a²... Oh yeah, I'll Google it."

Ace opened up his computer. As he was solving the equation, he looked at the time. It was 11:05! Ace hurried, he turned off his computer, switched to his pajamas and jumped into his bed. As Ace tried to sleep, he fell deep into thought, "Tomorrow, I have school. But I'll be new and l don't have a single bit of magic, well I do. But no-one knows that. I'm going To stop over thinking and sleep." Ace slowly dozed off into a dream where there was an endless lake. A figure walked towards him looking like light itself. Then another figure which ironically looked like darkness itself, stood with light. Light and darkness combined and reality crumbled before the fused figures. Then Ace woke up.

Ace jumped out of bed and got ready for school. As he was rushing around his home, His father saw him. His father's lifeless gaze sent chills down his spine. "Hurry up, Failure." Uttered a voice from behind. Ace's older brother, Triton, stood next to a muscular boy who looked quite short. It was Oslo. Ace's younger swordsman brother. He was always quiet, but his gaze was one which could incur fear to anyone, Oslo laid eyes upon. However, high class mages seemed to not be effected. Oslo was considered a prodigy among swordsmen. Although, Triton was something special,a triple attribute mage, He was known as the triple threat. All of the Repcaos Family were somewhat powerful, apart from the outcast known as Ace.

"It will be good having you out of the house for a while." Triton spat on to Ace's hair. He knew that he could do whatever he liked to Ace because he was an unwanted member of the family. The only weakling out of the whole family.

Ace rushed out of the mansion and slowly sat in the carriage. "It will take 1 month to get to the Royal Academy of Xesteria, Your father has signed you up as a commoner with no status because he didn't want the family name to be ridiculed." The driver claimed, "When we get there, You will be called Ace Deca Treeton. Understand?"

Ace nodded. The Carrige began to slowly move, gaining speed at a constant rate. Ace knew that this was going to be the start of a long journey, where he could cultivate his skills and become a very power magic user.
