Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 121

Chapter 121: The Lost Kid who met the Golden Light… Part-2.
Once upon a time, in the era of endless wars and chaos, humans were divided into many small nations and were constantly battling with each other to no end.

An ‘Ordinary’ child was born into a family of herdsmen.

The small family that used to keep cattle and sell ‘Milk’ to make their living, with the addition of a new member to the family, things became livelier.

But human greed affects everyone; war spread its flames far and wide, and the small family lost their cattle.

Day of difficulty came upon the poor family that had no other source of income.

Eventually, the parents of the ‘ordinary’ kid decided to abandon their child in the heart of the forest and migrate somewhere else in search of better opportunities.

The ‘Ordinary’ kid, who barely just learned how to walk, had no idea about the ways of the world.

Fortunately, an old herb gatherer picked up the abandoned ‘Ordinary’ kid and took him in as his own child.

Years went by, and the once ‘Ordinary’ kid grew up to be an energetic young man, yet he was still just an ‘Ordinary’ person in the end.

Soon after, he watched his adoptive grandfather die in front of him due to disease and a lack of medicine.

The herbs that once used to work wonders couldn’t sustain the fragile life of the old man any longer.

The young man, who was still in shock, would then go on to see the woman he once loved get murdered by the iron hooves of the marching armies.

He would go on to see the village that he spent his whole life in get destroyed overnight.

He saw the death, disease, pain, suffering, and fear that the wars brought to this world.

The young man wanted to set things on the right ‘Path’, he wanted to make the world a peaceful place where no kid would get abandoned for the lack of food.

Where no villages will be destroyed for war, and where love will not be trampled under the march of the armies.

But, all this was simply impossible for a simple and ‘ordinary’ young man, he was nothing in front of the might of an organized army.

Neither was he the son of an emperor, nor was he a chosen hero blessed with immense charisma and strength.

He didn’t have the mind to make strategies that could overturn armies, and he didn’t have the luck of the blessed to turn everything in his favor.

The moment he tried to raise his voice against the cruelties caused by the senseless wars, he would die without ever accomplishing anything in the world.

He was ‘Ordinary’, just too ‘Ordinary’.

…

And Yet.

As they say, if the world doesn’t recognize you, then create your own path to the destination you want to reach and force the world to look at you with your own efforts.

The ‘Ordinary’ young man found his ‘Path’.

A Ray of Golden Light descended from the sky, and the whole world witnessed the Golden King’s majestic aura, who was holding the ‘Sword of Promised Destinies’ in his hand.

Some recorded that event as just a myth, and some created paintings of it.

But only a few people heard the words of the Golden Light, and the ‘Ordinary’ young man was one of them.

[The Fluctuations in the space-time fabric have caused you to drift into the ‘Sea of Endless Miasma’.]

[I shall seal the dome and make this place peaceful, but thou shall not forget…]

[Thou doesn’t belong to those who dwell in ‘Corruption’; you shall return home; there is still hope….]

[Even if the world may crumble and my existence fade away, thou shall honor and remember thy origins…]

[Reach the realm of ‘Demi-gods’, seek the ‘Power of Origin’, and return home as soon as possible.]

With that message conveyed, the Golden King ascended to the sky and left this war-torn world behind just in a moment’s time.

As if he were in a hurry, a look of worry was noticed on the golden king’s face by all those who saw him that day.

….

For others, those few words were just some meaningless blabbers of an incomprehensible being.

But for the young man who saw it all, those few words seemed to carry the truth about the world itself.

They seemed to carry divine enlightenment.

The young man decided to find the ‘truth’ of those words; he achieved enlightenment that day and got the blessing of mana.

From then on, he could control mana; his strength kept growing day by day, and he reached a height that no one had reached before.

The mighty armies that he feared in the past weren’t invincible in front of him anymore.

With a wave of his hand, he could create tsunamis, and with a flick of his finger, he could make the sky rain.

He seemed to have achieved a power that was beyond human comprehension.

The young man climbed to the peak of the world with his unwavering resolve; he unified the nations and established the ‘Unified Human Empire’, where no one would need to go on wars against other humans.

The young man brought peace to the world and helped the human race reach a state of growth and advancement.

More talented people started to be born, and the might of the human race increased strongly enough to dominate the whole world.

That ‘Ordinary’ kid who was born without the power to change the world became so ‘Extraordinary’ that none could compete against his brilliance.

The ‘Ordinary’ young man was no longer ‘ordinary’; he became so brilliant that his brilliance illuminated the world and gave warmth to those looking for comfort.

He figured out the truths of the words of the ‘Golden Light’, and he took many steps for humankind’s future.

He was the one who found the exact locations of the seals of ‘False Dome’ and created defense mechanisms for them.

Not only did he help humankind learn the way of mana and understand the path of magic, he also created weapons that were able to even fight against the influence of a demon god.

That young man… No, The First King, Strar U’lbyatre, cultivated many geniuses who inherited his legacy and helped humanity go one step further in better understanding the laws of this world.

Records say that the First King once ventured into the skies, and he died after passing on the responsibility to the next generation.

Alas, people have forgotten his legacy as too much time has passed. His disciples became obsessed with power and murdered each other, and eventually his legacy was lost to time.

No one knows the full extent of the capabilities that the First King had achieved.
