Chronicles of Forgotten Extra - Chapter 39
Chapter 39: Shifting Tides Chapter 39: Shifting Tides In the heart of the Vallorian Empire, within the imperial palace, was one young man with shimmering white hair and sharp violet eyes.
His face was chiseled as if carved with utmost perfection.
His skin is pale white without any blemishes.
He was the definition of the word ‘handsome.’ His handsome face was currently filled with sweat as he swung his spear in clear motion.
He was Lucien Celestrian, the third prince of the Empire.
He paused his relentless training as a familiar sound echoed in his mind.
[BEGINNING DAILY QUEST SWING YOUR SPEAR A 1000 TIMES COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY] [ISSUING REWARDS] [HOST HAS BROKEN THROUGH THE ADVANCED RANK] ‘It’s been a month since I arrived in this world,’ he thought as he paused his training to take a rest.
It hadn’t been easy.
The transition from an ordinary life to being thrust into a powerful empire, now occupying the body of a prince.
It had left him feeling like a stranger to himself.
The pressure to be someone he wasn’t, the expectations of his newfound family… it weighed on him, but the system kept him moving forward.
‘Status,’ he muttered as a system screen popped in front of him.
======[Status]======== [NAME- LUCIEN CELESTRIAN (LUCAS)] [AGE – 17] [RANK-NOVICE (ADVANCED)] [POTENTIAL – INFINITE] [TITLE – TRANSMIGRATOR, THE SECOND SUPREME] [MANA TOME – THUNDER GOD’S WRATH (PRIMORDIAL)] [WEAPON ART-THUNDERSTRIKE SPEAR ART (ANCIENT)] [SUPREME ABILITY-INFINITE GROWTH SYSTEM] [Stats] [System Shop] [Ability] [Inventory] ================= A proud smirk appeared on his face as he looked at his increased rank.
If not for his system, he wouldn’t have been able to reach this level so fast.
His system provided him with various quests through which he got various rewards as well as EXP.
The quest he completed just now was a daily quest to help him adapt to his new life.
But he won’t get that quest again as he had reached the advanced rank.
The quest was only to help him get to the Advanced Rank after all.
The system had also provided him with one of the strongest Mana Tomes.
According to information he had from the previous prince’s memory, there is not a single mana tome of Primordial rank in this world.
And he had gotten such a tome just as a system binding reward.
As for the weapon art, it was the weapon art the imperial family used.
Although he was considered unworthy, he still was given the lightning element Mana Tome and a weapon art that the family used after his awakening.
He hadn’t used the mana tome the family provided, as it was just an ancient rank mana tome.
Why would he use that when he had the primordial rank one?
Both were of the same element, so he had no problem concealing his Primordial rank tome.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a sudden screen popped in the sky with a loud ‘Ding,’ which surprised him… [WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT] [THE THREE SUPREMES HAVE APPEARED] [THE COMPETITION TO GAIN CELESTIAL THRONE HAS BEGUN] [THE THRONE WILL REVEAL ITSELF IN 10 YEARS] [MANA DENSITY OF WORLD HAS INCREASED BY ONE LEVEL] Lucien was dumbfounded looking at all the notifications appearing in the sky.
But he recognized one word in the notification-‘Supreme.’ ‘The Second Supreme…’ he recalled his title, sending a chill down his spine.
‘Could the title I had always dismissed as symbolic hold a deeper truth?’ Before he could think any more on it, a new quest window flashed before him.
[QUEST- CLAIM THE THRONE OF CELESTIAL DOMINION INITIATED] [QUEST DESCRIPTION -The throne of Celestial dominion is a throne that gives its owner absolute power to rule over the world of Eryndor.] [Quest Reward – ??] [QUEST PENALTY-DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD.] [TIME – 10 YEARS] “Is this some kind of joke?” Lucien muttered, running a hand through his white hair in frustration.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
He looked at the quest again, his thoughts swirling.
‘Claim the Throne…
What did that even mean?’ But his surprise was only for a short time as soon excitement started bubbling inside him.
After all, he was a gamer through and through, and the thought of completing a difficult quest excited him.
Just as excitement bubbled in his body, he also felt slightly nervous.
‘Who were the other Supremes?
How strong were they?
‘Would they also have a system?’ The thought didn’t sit right with him.
‘Would they be my rivals or allies?’ But he quickly pushed those thoughts aside as he trusted his Infinite Growth System.
He was confident he would get much stronger than he was currently in the next ten years.
“World domination,” Lucien muttered to himself.
The words felt strange but exciting as a wicked grin appeared across his face.”Now that’s something I can work with.
And I also have a World to save” Lucien always wanted thrill and excitement in his previous life as Lucas.
But when that thrill actually came he died of heart attack but life had given him another chance to feel it.
This world was dangerous but exciting than his previous world and now the system had provided him with an even more exciting adventure-World Domination and Saving the World.
It was going to be dangerous but if he didn’t succeed the world was going to be destroyed and he was going to die anyway.
The idea of having absolute power, the kind of power that could rule the entire world, made his pulse quicken.
============= Inside the Draven family, Alden was still dazed, looking at the screen flickering in the sky.
‘Who the heck are other Supremes?’ He thought his mind was racing with possibilities.
‘Was I supposed to fight them?’ He tried to recall if anything like this was mentioned in the novel…
but nothing came up.
The novel didn’t have any mention about whatever the was or who the three supreme were.
‘Is this happening because I awakened a supreme ability?’ he thought as he tried to understand the situation… ‘What if there was no third supreme in the novel and that’s why the competition never even began?’ Alden analyzed quickly… ‘But there was something strange,’ he suddenly recalled a detail from novel.
‘Why is the time of the throne appearing and the demon king destroying the world the same?’ ‘Does this throne have something to do with the demon king?
Is he perhaps one of the Supremes?’ His body shivered as he thought about it.
Demon King was not just any existence; he was the strongest in this world.
In the novel, even at Peak Primordial Rank, the protagonist had fallen to him with ease.
‘If the Demon King really is the Supreme, then does that mean he is that powerful because of his supreme ability?’ Alden mused as many questions appeared in his mind.
‘So who is the other supreme?’ He whispered, ‘It can’t be the protagonist.’ He quickly disregarded the protagonist from being the supreme as he had read the status window of the protagonist countless times in the novel, and there was no mention of any supreme ability.
The protagonist only had a special ability, which was called the Lightning God’s Physique, and a soul ability, which was his system, called the Ascension System.
Alden quickly calmed his mind as he dismissed his thoughts, not finding anything about who the other supreme was.
“I’ll just have to get stronger to face anything,” he resolved as he went back towards his bed.
‘It’s finally time to see what my supreme ability is.’ He quickly opened his status window, focusing on his ability as soon as a new window showing him the details appeared.
