Chapter 252: Becoming a Shadow Power Seeker in Yecheng
Chapter 252: Becoming a Shadow Power Seeker in Yecheng
For this reason, Shadow Realm Nightcity kept a low profile. Despite being of a young age, he spent his days at home studying magic and honing his swordsmanship, causing his family to view him as a mature child.
This time, he entered this place unintentionally while attempting to modify a magic array in a Tome of Arcana. Suddenly, he was enveloped in a blinding white light, and he found himself transported here.
When the blinding white light enveloped him, Shadow Realm Nightcity initially thought he was in trouble again, but to his surprise, he had obtained an external power-up!
In the Kingdom of Midgard, located on the border of the kingdom, within the Omega Territory, in a room of the lord's mansion.
A young boy with white hair, only seven or eight years old, stared at the magic array on the ground and then at his own hands. His expression was filled with a sense of disbelief.
However, as he clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling the immense power within him, he realized with delight that everything that had just happened was real.
"My power is at least ten times stronger than before... no, it's at least a hundred times stronger!"
Compared to his young age, the other big shots in the mysterious space were undoubtedly top-tier.
After sharing a wave of power and memories, Shadow Realm Nightcity instantly realized that his strength had increased by at least a hundredfold.
"As expected, external power-ups are amazing. The strength I gained from years of cultivation at home doesn't even compare to a fraction of the power shared by the big shots."
Although Phantom Arts might be unusable in this world, with his understanding of magic, he could modify them into unique spells.
Just as Nightcity was about to enthusiastically embark on his magic modification endeavor, a rapid knock sounded on his door.
"Young Master Yecheng, are you alright? I thought I heard you cry out in surprise just now."
Due to the blinding light emitted by the magic array, Nightcity thought he was in trouble, so he did indeed cry out in surprise. Now it seemed that he had attracted the attention of the servants.
"I'm fine, Flora. I was just startled by the knowledge in the book."
Upon hearing Nightcity's response, the figure outside the door slowly pushed it open and entered. Seeing Nightcity lying on the ground, engrossed in the Tome of Arcana, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"Then, our studious Young Master Yecheng, it's time for dinner. The lord and lady have been waiting for quite some time."
The person who appeared before him was a young girl with golden hair, around eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a maid outfit. She was Flora, Nightcity's dedicated maid since childhood.
Although she was his caretaker, everyone in the mansion knew that Young Master Yecheng was a genius, not only in magic and swordsmanship but also in daily life and intellect.
At the age of eight, Young Master Yecheng had already mastered all the common languages of this world by the age of three. By four, he could comprehend the intricate Tome of Arcana.
When he first held a sword at the age of five, after just one year of training, he could defeat the mansion's guards.
Unlike other children, Young Master Yecheng was not playful or mischievous. Instead, he possessed a calm and diligent nature, always eager to learn. Despite his exceptional talent, he never once slacked off.
Since he knew nothing about this world, Nightcity strived to strengthen himself to ensure his survival. However, to his family, this dedication appeared as a facade of hard work and responsibility.
"I understand. I'll be there shortly. Thank you for coming, Flora."
"I said I'd keep track of the time, but I got so engrossed in the interesting part that I lost track of it."
Upon hearing Nightcity's apology, Flora couldn't help but respond with a surprised and flattered expression, "My lord, as your personal maid, this is my duty."
Looking at Nightcity, who was straightening his clothes in front of her, Flora's face also showed a gentle smile. This was one of the reasons why the manor's residents adored the young master.
Nightcity was the next lord of the Omega Territory, a so-called "Noble," yet he never displayed an air of arrogance towards the servants.
He was always humble and polite to everyone, as if he were a true noble gentleman.
"The Deity is indeed biased. Not only did they bestow upon Nightcity an extraordinary talent, but they also favored him with intelligence, character, and even physical appearance."
Nightcity, who was currently dressing in front of the mirror, making sure not to be scolded by his parents again for tarnishing the noble family's image, couldn't help but sigh inwardly upon hearing Flora's usual exaggerated praise.
"Flora, I've told you before, I'm just an ordinary teenager. There are many people in this world who are better than me. If you keep saying this, it will make me feel very embarrassed."
However, upon hearing Nightcity's words, the maid girl showed a look of uncertainty.
She had the honor of accompanying the lady to a banquet for the upper-class nobility in the royal capital and had witnessed the young masters and young ladies of those noble families.
But Flora could confidently say that, aside from their strength, in terms of temperament, manners, and external qualities, those so-called princes from the noble families couldn't even compare to Nightcity's little toe.
Setting aside other aspects, just the fact that those brats constantly boasted about their family's achievements and honor, and when compared to Nightcity, who was currently receiving praise but remained extremely humble, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
After wasting several more minutes getting dressed, Nightcity finally arrived at the dining area, accompanied by Flora.
At the dining table, a rather young couple was already seated. The man was in his thirties, with striking golden hair and a face that was not particularly handsome but rather stern.
Seated beside him was a young and beautiful woman with long white hair, possessing an impeccable appearance that made her look like a mere teenager.
This young couple was Nightcity's adoptive parents. The man was Gaius Omega, the lord of this border territory and a baron of the kingdom.
The woman, who looked incredibly young with her white hair, was not Nightcity's older sister or any such relation; she was his mother, Medis Omega.
From a genetic perspective, it was evident that Nightcity's hair color and good looks were inherited more from his mother, Medis.
As for Nightcity's name, the reason for its stark contrast to his parents' names seemed to have a story behind it.
It was said that when he was born, the territory's only main city was under a night attack, and the lord, Gaius, was surrounded and in grave danger.
But just as Nightcity was born, reinforcements arrived, and the Omega family believed this to be a blessing from the Deity. Thus, they named the newborn "Nightcity"!
