At the age of eight, Loras had begun to master the art of deception. His cultivation continued to soar in secrecy, reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. In public, however, he wore the mask of innocence. To his family, he was still the promising heir, the child prodigy they had always hoped for. But beneath the surface, he was already far beyond anyone's expectations.
The Doom family's estate, vast and filled with luxury, had become his playground. Though his parents and other family members had no idea, Loras was already crafting the foundations of his future empire. With the Shadow Scorpion gaining influence, he had started to subtly take control of the family's operations, guiding them without their knowledge. Every decision, every movement, was carefully orchestrated by Loras himself.
His manipulation was not confined to the family alone. Loras had begun to use his position to infiltrate other powers, seeking to expand his reach. He had become a master of information, able to gather secrets from every corner of the world without ever being detected. He knew who could be trusted, who could be used, and who needed to be eliminated. His system's guidance was invaluable, ensuring that Loras stayed several steps ahead of anyone who might challenge him.
While others around him marveled at his "wisdom" and "intelligence," Loras knew that his true power was far more than what they saw. His cultivation had reached the Saint peak level in secret, and he was close to stepping into the realm of False Immortal. But that would come later, when the time was right. For now, he bided his time, ensuring that everything fell into place according to his grand design.
The Doom family, like any noble family, had enemies. There were those who coveted their wealth, their influence, and their position in the world. But Loras was more than prepared to deal with them. He had already begun to eliminate those who posed a threat to his family, though he did so in a manner that ensured no one suspected him. It was a game of shadows, one in which Loras excelled. Every move was calculated, every action precise.
To the outside world, Loras was just a child with a bright future. But those who knew better, who understood the true nature of power, knew that he was far more dangerous than he appeared. Behind his innocent facade, Loras was already laying the groundwork for a future that would shake the very foundations of the realms.
And so, at the age of eight, Loras continued his path of deception, manipulation, and cultivation. With every passing day, he grew stronger, smarter, and more ruthless. The world may have thought they knew him, but in truth, they had only seen the surface. The real Loras was a force to be reckoned with, and no one — not even his own family — would stand in his way when the time came.
