The Monarch

Chapter 413: A new beginning, a new opportunity

It was practically abandoned to nothingness because of the low talent of the people. Once every few thousand years, a god would appear to take away some talents, leaving the planet with even fewer talented people.

The capital was called York and had a system of nobility with several wizards from different kingdoms, most of them from the fourth kingdom and a minority from the fifth kingdom. This planet was, at the time, representing the average in the universe in terms of strength.

"Kayden Harner " — that was what Kayden heard for the first time when he opened his eyes and found himself in some kind of luxurious room. Around him, a woman was lying exhausted, looking at him with loving eyes. A middle-aged man with a beard left the room as soon as he realized that everything had worked out. This caused the woman to leave another teenager holding Kayden; he had been born again into a human world.

In a way, souls always sought to return to their original form. He learned this by observing some past lives of the dragon and himself. The teenager had fiery red hair and eyes of the same intensity. The woman had brown hair and amber eyes that seemed to carry a wisdom far greater than should be possible for that age. The two took turns holding Kayden on their laps.

For the first few days, Kayden had to sleep with his wife by his side all the time. He was a very strange baby because he didn’t react to anything, he just stood there waiting for something. The woman’s name was Luana and the boy’s name was Matheus. Kayden barely remembered what it was like to have such brotherly love. It was funny to him, after so much time living alone. He had no way of reciprocating this; his emotions were dead, but he would make sure to repay good deeds with good deeds.

A week later, Kayden was alone for the first time and...

"Finally!" Mana came to Kayden like servants seeking their king. An unparalleled pleasure assaulted his mind at being able to wield mana again. It had been so long, and yet he remained worthy.

Kayden felt like a son coming home. He studied his body for just a few seconds to understand that he had been born with good talent and good body connections, at least ten times better than his old body. But that didn’t matter anymore. The body wasn’t the answer. Kayden wasn’t going to develop his physique again; his path was the path and his alone. The boy began to form the mana heart again but with some very different details.

This time, it was practically an insane reservoir of mana that would pump mana into his body nonstop. He would have no mana veins; the mana itself would be diluted throughout all the tissues of his body until he grew stronger through persistence. In time, he would be able to use this pulsation outside his body—at least that was the first idea Kayden had. But his new soul was an incredible thing; ideas came to him by the thousands.

What was the point of insisting on the tyrannical heart? That was something of the past, it didn’t match everything he had learned or even his goals. After just a few days of thinking, Kayden got the answer.

"We want 1 million coins for this child. They must be delivered to the Central Bank of Light." Kayden had forgotten that he had been kidnapped. This small detail was quite significant, actually, but he was too busy thinking.

The mages around him were all from the third realm and were dressed in white robes. It was obvious that they were neither professionals nor strong. Kayden didn’t pay much attention to them, nor did he fear for his life. He had already reincarnated twice in his existence. If he needed to, he would just be reborn once more and there would be no problem with it. Kayden’s decision, in the end, was to develop the divine crown again.

Kayden was able to sense divine mana when he used a small trick with his soul. He forced his soul to vibrate, and for a few seconds, he was able to sense and manipulate divine mana as he had in the past. His ability to manipulate souls continued when he reincarnated. Kayden was able to sense the souls of those around him as if it were a spiritual sense. Not only that, but he could use his own to perform small tricks that far surpassed his strength.

At the moment, he was able to utilize his path with almost the same strength as before. This was the main reason why he did not fear for his life. His reaction time was still very slow compared to other mages, but this could be overcome by accelerating his soul. Since his path focused on manipulating the mana outside of his body, Kayden had no difficulty in asserting his strength against most of the mages in this place. The only thing holding him back was the fear of having a mental stroke.

His physical mind was not capable of handling all the information he needed. This meant that he had to operate with a ridiculously lower strength than he was capable of. Even with these impediments, Kayden was completely confident in dealing with some mages from higher realms without any direct consequences to his body. He began to form the crown in his mind.

The pain was always constant in everything he did and this time was no different, the crown began to be modeled using only divine mana, his control was light years ahead of any of these wizards around him and they couldn’t even feel it.

Kayden’s soul was distributed throughout his body, it was what made most unexplained things work perfectly, be it small, meaningless cellular movements or miraculous recoveries, it was always the soul.

Kayden began to remove it from his body and place it on the crown, the pain was ridiculously high, and his actions were completely unnatural, it was crazy to think that he was forcibly changing his soul’s place.
