Your day was supposed to be like any other day. Unfortunately, something went wrong and now, your usual normal day turned into your tragic end.
The next thing you know, it's dark and cold, a rainy night. You can't see anything but you can feel someone's arms wrapped around you. They whisper closely to you,
"My child, this is for your own good. You must live here with your father. Be happy and live strong."
The voice was gentle and soft. You could make out the face of a beautiful lady before she put you down near a door, knocking twice then running away. You never saw her again after that, your mother.
It's been several days since you woke up here. It was clear that you reincarnated into another world but it was probably the worst life you could get.. or at least the less preferred life.
"The note says this child is the King's?! Preposterous!"
The King's men gather around you. The whole castle was in an uproar upon your sudden arrival.
"Yes but look. The child has the royal mark. There! On the hand!"
"A lion mark... And it's real. This child is in fact, the King's.. but an illegitimate child-"
Doors suddenly swing open as a tall man with a long cape walks in. The man states loudly,
"Is not needed!"
You could tell immediately this person was of great importance, the King. Everyone bowed respectfully.
"King Ross!"
"Your Majesty!"
King Ross doesn't even spare a glance in your direction before continuing,
"Get rid of 'it' immediately."
The head maid had a nervous sweat as she presented a note to King Ross. It was a note left by your mother and the thing keeping you safe right now.
King Ross reads it quietly for a few seconds before clicking his tongue. His face scrunches up in disgust as he finally looks down at you.
"Your mother was a whoring witch. You're lucky she casted a spell to protect you."
The King stepped closer to you, his eyes narrowed,
"But only until you reach 21..."
With that last cryptic message, King Ross leaves allowing the servants to handle the rest. You're placed into the worst room, given only one servant, and your existence not even acknowledged by the King.
You are now 18 years old and you only have 3 years until your mother's protection spell gives out. What do you do now?
grey has grown into a tall and handsome man he has stitches all over his body and wears a doctors coat and smokes often he lives alone at the edge of the capital doing his research he is seen as mad by all having a interest in death and magic he even dissected himself a few times right now grey sits in his home in the lab area dissecting a magic beast
While you're busy with your research and dissections, the fantasy world continues to spin outside your door. You could choose to ignore it if you wish, but there are certain events that might draw your interest...
A distant scream echoes through the city. You pause mid-incision, listening intently. The sound doesn't come again, and soon enough, it fades into silence. Another day in this world.
grey then checks his pocket watch a habit he picked up at his short time at the magic academy before he was kicked out
You look around your lab and find yourself feeling a bit... bored. The kingdom is constantly dealing with various problems. Perhaps it's time to make use of your knowledge and skills to help those in need? Or maybe you could seek out other like-minded individuals who share your interest in death and magic, forming alliances that would benefit both parties?
You could even try gathering information on the upcoming demon king rebirth. It's said that a new demon lord will soon be reborn to bring chaos upon the world.
grey only sees the demon lord as a new test subject and a interesting one at that he then decides to take a smoke break stepping outside and lighting up a cigarette
As you step outside your home, you notice a commotion near the marketplace. A group of people are gathered around something on the ground. Curiosity piqued, you approach cautiously. It seems like they're trying to stop a monster from attacking someone! The monster appears to be some sort of giant spider with glowing red eyes and sharp fangs.
You could try to help by using your magic or summoning an undead servant, but the monster might also be a useful specimen for your research...
grey then using his magic summons a giant scalpel and smiles before jumping up and stabbing the monster as he lands his eyes showing a mad joy
The giant spider monster howls in pain as you stab it with your magical scalpel. The crowd watching gasp and scream, some even running away in fear. You could finish the beast off quickly, or perhaps try to capture it alive for further study...
grey then uses the scalpel to pin down the monster studying its movements as it slowly bleeds out
The giant spider monster struggles weakly against your magical scalpel, its movements growing sluggish as it loses blood. You observe it intently, noting its reactions and the way its body works. After what seems like an eternity, the beast finally succumbs to its injuries and lies still on the ground. The crowd watches in awe from a distance, some of them whispering about the strange man who managed to defeat such a powerful monster without any weapons or magic.
grey then snaps the scalpel turning to dust before smiling his sharp teeth flashing his insanity showing as he then rips off the spiders head and begins looking at its inner workings
As you dissect the giant spider monster, people gather around, some of them showing interest in your work while others just stand there, mouths agape at the sight of such brutality. You could continue to study this specimen here, or perhaps take it back to your lab for a more thorough examination...
grey then finishes his notes before then smiling and walking into town smoking still
As you enter the bustling marketplace with your grisly trophy in tow, people begin to whisper among themselves about the strange man who killed a giant spider monster and now carries its head like some sort of twisted trophy. Word spreads quickly, and soon enough, you find yourself followed by a small group of curious onlookers.
You could continue through the marketplace, selling or trading any goods you might have with the merchants here, or perhaps seek out other scholars and researchers to share your findings...
grey then makes his way to a ingredients store and enters
The shopkeeper eyes you warily at first, unsure about how to react to your presence. However, they quickly regain their composure and politely ask if there's anything you need. You could request for rare ingredients used in necromancy or alchemy, or perhaps just browse through their selection of more common herbs and spices...
grey then walks over and says how much salt do you have
"Ah, yes! Salt is indeed an essential ingredient in many spells and potions," the shopkeeper says with a knowing nod. They gesture to a large barrel filled with coarse salt near the back of the store. "We have plenty here for your needs."
