The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 86: Dorian's time at the academy (1)

Dorian's life changed after his awakening. His profession was Holy Knight and more than that, he gained a system on the day of his awakening. Through his system, he acquired Light Affinity.

He has learned that the chances of awakening a profession were low among commoners when compared to the nobles. That day he learned that having an affinity is very rare, even among the nobles.

Having an affinity would essentially make the awakener reach the status of a noble, as long as he survives and grows up.

This is a dangerous world after all, and there are monsters everywhere that can end you before you know it. More than that, there are many bad people who are envious of their peers who are more talented than them. they would turn to evil, even hurting their own people, just to become powerful.

Even if they aren't evil, many nobles hate it when the commoners try to offend them. They could easily eliminate the commoner alongside their family.

This was something that everyone knew. So awakened or not no one would even think about offending powerful people and would have to be humble in front of others.

Dorian on the other felt that it would be a mistake to not make proper use of his system. After all, he saw what the system would offer him. He can become the most powerful person in the world. There is no need to kneel before others.

The system awards him points based on the enemy he killed. With those points, he can buy items that he wants from the system store. The items in the store would make the entire world his enemy. There are items such as the Nine-Colored Auspicious Plant.

This was said to bring luck to the holder. It has to be planted in someone's property and as times go on, it would bring immense benefits. Of course, there are some problems while possessing this plant.

Greed.

People who look at it would be filled with greed to possess it. They would definitely try to kill the original owner and gain it.

This plant only appeared twice in the world of Ragos, and it brought down two powerful empires. ironically, this plant was the reason why those two empires were formed in the first place.

The original owners who had that plant were able to turn their lives around and create the empires but later in life, it also caused problems among their family members, who each wanted to possess for themselves.

They started to fight among themselves and that was how one of those empires fell.

The other empire fell because somehow the news of its presence was known to outsiders and it spread far and wide. Though the empire was strong, many enemies of the empire pulled some neutral nations and destroyed the empire.

The bad news was that both times the enemies failed to obtain the plant. They somehow disappeared from the world and no one knows how. What the historians were able to piece together was that these two events changed the entire course of the world.

The empire and the enemies that fought each other disappeared from the world. The war that ensured between them destroyed most of their military power. The economic lines were disturbed, which caused all the parties that were involved in those wars to fall.

The kingdoms and empires that existed in that era changed after those wars. New powers appeared and for the next few hundred years, there were wars everywhere and civilization declined. There were no more advancements in knowledge and the worst was that the knowledge that was there disappeared in those wars.

Whether that knowledge was destroyed or buried, no one was sure. From time to time, there were small fragments of that knowledge that were unearthed once in a while.

This plant caused a lot of destruction in the world. It pulled back the world from the age it is in to the age it was a long time ago.

Now Dorain had set his eyes on it. This was something that would bring immense fortune to him, as long as it was in his position. He didn't give a shit about the future.

He doesn't know what that plant's presence in the world would lead to but even if he knew about that, he wouldn't care. He may have remained humble when he had yet to awaken and get the system, but once that happened, he started to act differently.

With the help of the system, he quickly improved himself by hunting monsters and reached the peak of Tier-0 before the academy started.

To that point, he believed that nothing could stand in his path but something changed when he went to take on the promotion mission in Winter City, which was close to his home.

At the city gate, he was confronted by a young master. He saw that as his moment of glory. This young master would be his first stepping stone to fame.

When he first got the system and checked on how to earn points, the system didn't specify whether the enemy should be a monster or not. He thought that it was implied. During his hunting to level up, he encountered a few bandits. He eliminated them and was surprised to see extra points.

That was how he learned that he could earn points, even if he killed a human.

With the points he started to earn, he was able to buy items from the system shop which further enabled him to improve faster.

Having such strength, he believed that he could defeat the young master but then the guards intervened. He almost prepared to flee because he was sure that he would die but that was stopped by another young master.

Instead of thanking him, Dorian spied on the new young master's status panel, which made him slap Dorian repeatedly, humiliating him in public.

What Dorian thought to be a fame-making moment turned into a humiliating movement. He vowed to exact his revenge that day and left.
