....I closed my eyes and was about to do something wrong, when the face of my current mother and father came in front of me and also the face of Silverene, Veronica and my other maids came in front of my eyes.
I realised what I was about to do, I forgot that what I was trying to change my past but I also was about lose my bright future.
(A/N:-Once you realize you deserve a bright future, letting go of your dark past is the best choice you will ever make :- By Roy T. Bennett.)
I looked towards my parent's happy faces, laughing and enjoying, and remembered that my mom always wanted me to become someone she would be proud of.
So the only thing I could do was to make my future as bright as possible,so that she could see it from wherever she is.
I threw the knife and chose to accept my past, which I had removed from my memories and promised myself to make my future bright.
As I threw the knife, a bright light covered everything and I started losing consciousness, before closing my eyes completely, I saw my past self, my mother Emma, my father John, and Silvy looking towards me with a smile on their faces.
As I regained my consciousness, I found myself back at the starting point of the trial, I looked around and saw Erebus's soul floating in the air.
"Hoho, Congratulations my dear, you have broken the wall which no one could touch until now, you have done what people only dream about, it took you whole year to wake up from the dream"
'seriously, I was sleeping for whole years' I thought to myself.
" You cleared all the trials and gained my inheritance of knowledge "
" But before handing my inheritance to you, I want you to hear my complete story"
"Last time I told you that I became a Transcendent being by achieving every pinnacle of strength, but one day I saw her"
" She was beauty like no other, a beauty which could start a war, She was a celestial beauty, with Silver hairs, Red eyes and a snow white complexion, She had every single thing which can tempt any male in whole world"
"She was the Goddess of Light, 'Theia' "
"I pursued her, but to my bad luck she rejected me, I got hurt but I couldn't be able to forget her, my strength and power took over me, I tried to force her but She told her disciple to stop me, he was the human God of light, Aio"
" I was defeated by him, but because she didn't want to people to found about me as a hero trying to force myself on a Goddess, she didn't want to not ruin everything I had created in thousands of years"
" She let me go, but when I realised what have I done, I regretted everything, the talent which I am always proud of became my arrogance and this arrogance made me do that thing, i came to this place and Started my inheritance competition"
" I never thought of giving my inheritance to anyone evil, that's why I sent an invitation to those who have high black mana, so that they get lured by the power, and after that they have to go through three trials.
First trial measures their battle strategy and strength.
Second trial test their intelligence.
And third trial, measures their capacity to bear pain emotionally, which shows whether they can become a wicked person in bad times or not"
" Most people come here in their greed for power, that's why I need to kill them to maintain peace in Human world"
"But I didn't get any invitation, moreover I was dragged here" I asked a question that was bugging me for a long time. Because in the original novel Greve also got an invitation when darkness took over him.
" That question, *sigh* I can't answer it right now, here take this World Stone and hold it in your hand"
I felt suspicious of him, but I still took the world stone from him and held it in my hand tightly, soon the stone absorbed in my palm, then Erebus put his hand on my head and passed his Knowledge.
I slightly felt dizzy and my head filled with Knowledge about Dark magic.
"Greve it time to give you a name which is going to be your destiny, and a symbol for being my first disciple, Your name will be resounded in whole world in the near future.
"And your new Name will be ARES"
(A/N:- Ares :- Greek god of war and ruin.)
As Erebus gave Greve a new name his entire body covered in light, and in human world whole sky got covered in clouds and thunder started resounded in whole world as if announcing the birth of New God of War.
"Hoho, Now my role is complete you can go back to your world"
As he finished a dark portal opened and I started turning into light particles and started sucking into the Portal.
"Hoho Ares your name is your destiny, and.... Rachel your destiny is beyond your understanding,
This is just a beginning of the new end".
"Wtf, how do.." before I asked him about his last words, I was sucked completely inside the portal.
/-------------------------------------------------------
Back to the human world,
Once I regained my consciousness I found myself in the forest behind my mansion.
As I started walking towards the mansion, I was lost in my thoughts, there were too many questions left unanswered.
'first why I feel like that I lost some of my memories of the moment before my death in my previous life'.
'second how Erebus knew about my real identity '
'And why he gave me this name'
'And what did he mean by the beginning of the new end'.
As I was running my mind, I reached at the entrance of the mansion, seeing me Gate Guard's eyes widened in surprise, I confirmed my identity as Greve, because now I was taller than before but my face didn't change much.
The Guard's informed my parents about my return.
I saw my parents and maids running towards me and..
"Greve, where were you.." my mother started crying and asked me many questions.
I consoled her and also replied to my dad's many questions, my brother was little shy but still hugged me, then I looked towards My maids they looked happy but there was a shadow on their faces.
The way they looked towards me send shivers down my spine.
As an author I knew that expression, this was a Yandere's expressions.
After two long hours of interrogation, I was allowed to rest by my parents, when I returned to my room my maids pinned me at the wall and started crying.
"M-master, master, master, why did you leave me, didn't you ask me to always remain by your side, or do you not want me now, master master, master" Veronica bombarded me with many questions, while tightly hugging my left arm and pressing her now F-cup breasts.
"Master, master, master *sob* master, never leave me, I will do everything you ask" Delvia hugged me tightly and Started crying, Now my height was equal to the Veronica's height (5'10") and Delvia height was (4'6") because of this her face was at my stomach.
"Master, master~❤️ *smooch*💋, master ❤️ *smooch*💋, master ❤️*smooch*💋" Greneta started kissing all over my face and pressed her voluptuous mountains on my right arm.
Seeing my parents concerned faces and my stupids maids , I smiled and thought that I made a right decision back in the dream land.
After that my maids started demanding strange requests, that got me worried but I handled them well.
"Master, master let me tie you so that you can't leave us" Veronica asked.
"Yes master, Veronica is right, I can't leave a moment with you" Delvia followed too.
"Yes master and as for your needs❤️, we will fulfill them *smooch*💋" Greneta said with her lust filled voice.
Somehow I calmed them down, patted their head and told them I would never go anywhere without telling them, I also promised to take them on dates separately one by one and told them to decide the order.
Now my brother was ten years old so it was time to leave the mansion, because I don't want him to lose any support in being heir of the Duke house because of my Black hairs.
After listening to Erebus's story, it was clear that peoples could not accept change easily. So me being here would bring my family lot of troubles in the future. So I decided to change my identity from Son of Duke to The youngest, richest Merchant.
I told my parents about all this and assured them that I would meet them regularly and my buisness would always support my brother and this Duke house.
At first there were very reluctant, my mother even cried but remembering the incident in my brother birthday party, soon they understood that it would be better for both of us.
So I started my new journey as Youngest and richest Merchant, Ares.
I was already informed by my maids that Silvy went to the Aqualand kingdom to train, as water element has type advantage on Fire element.
It would take me two weeks to reach there, so I decided to fulfill my promise to my maids first.
We went to my mansion that I had created long ago, by the money I had earned from my business.
/---------------------------------------------------
After three days.
I opened my eyes after a good night activities, as I recovered from my slumber, a moan escaped my lips, I removed the quilt and looked at my three maids satisfying me one by one.
I sighed and thought " this is the best way to begin the new end".
(A/N:- Here the first volume is finished, and sorry readers because I might not upload new chapters for months, cause I needed to work part time and also have to prepare for Scholarship exam for Phd, but don't worry if you really are hooked up with this novel, then leave it in your collection, I might upload new chapters after few months, I don't want to left you on any cliffhanger so I completed the first volume of this novel, Next is Academy arc.
But don't be sad, for my cultured brothers I decided to upload three bonus R18 Chapters, which will depict what happens in these three days, don't worry all characters are 18+ Ares(15)(21), Veronica (25), Delvia (33), Greneta (48) and I, author myself is 20years old. These chapters will not affect the storyline in anyway so it is not necessary for you to read these chapters. And apologies from my sisters(if any) if you got offended by these chapters. )
(Also I decided to buy a ladder, because I want to take my carrier on the next level.)
(Good bye, Alvida.)
