Chapter 143: Alexander Valenstein!
Draco then looked at the elders.
"I will be on my way, elders. If you'd excuse me." he bowed his head and said.
For a few seconds, no response was heard until the deer elder replied.
"Very well, Draco. Don't forget what we told you." He said, with a more serious tone than ever.
Once Draco heard this, he looked at Leona one last time.
"We will take on that mission tomorrow."
That was the last thing everybody in the arena heard before Draco disappeared.
-----------------
Alexander was in his estate, eating dinner with his wives and laughing happily without any worries as his mind worked over time, making him think of some old memories of his.
'Who would have thought 'I' would reach here today.'
Since he got closer to Draco, he started noticing his flaws more and more, and a flame that was dying slowly within him suddenly lit up, giving him enough motivation to better himself and rise through the realms like he never did.
But before Draco was here, he was just leisurely doing whatever his mind told him to do, and life never seemed like a challenge to him.
Since he was a toddler, Alexander has remembered seeing his mother disappear at night and appear in the morning to then spend the entire day with him.
When he was capable of thinking and talking for himself, he asked his mother where she went at night, and she never answered him, as all he could remember as a reply was the soft smile she gave him and the peck full of love that fell on his forehead.
He never knew how his mother reached the realm she was in, and aside from Draco, his mother was the only one full of mysteries in his eyes.
He just couldn't guess what she was thinking; he knew nothing of her past, and right now he didn't know why she was doing what she did, especially after she went into what he called a retirement when 'she' conquered the Human continent and formed the Great Empire of Devania.
He, who was called The Anomaly, was indeed a genius who created many things, saved the humans from various corrupt nations, and gave them a safe haven they considered their homes, but he was never the type to care about others.
The constant mysteries surrounding his mother made him a very curious person who wanted to know everything, and this in turn led him to go on all kinds of adventures where he learned of alchemy, smithing, and many other professions he used today to create all the different artifacts he made.
Indeed, The Anomaly, Alexander Valenstein, was nothing but a curious genius whose life was surrounded by the mystery of his mother.
Alexander didn't even join the Celestial Academy when he could because his mother said it was a waste of time and he wasn't interested in it in the first place.
So all he did was join an adventurer guild and travel the world, from the human continent to the continent of elves and dwarves, and then to the continent of vampires, where he lived the life of the night and luxury.
There he came up with the idea of achieving immortality, and through the various techniques he learned from his friends and masters back on the Dwarfelven Continent helped him do so.
Alexander thought that life was fun because he was just satisfying his thirst for more knowledge and learning more things every day.
Going to the Phoenix continent, he learned what baseless arrogance was, and for the first time ever, he got angry over what he considered dumb confidence.
After years of killing and fighting that gave him a name feared by all phoenixes, he moved to the witches' continent, and there he discovered his maid fetish...
The witches were a race full of women, but the hierarchy there was harsh, as the talented were treated with immeasurable respect and those slightly less talented were to be forever someone's worker or assistant.
Alexander didn't care; all he cared about was that the maid who assisted him when he became a researcher of magic there, unveiled something deep inside of him he never knew existed.
He didn't know if it was because of the constant work his mother did when they used to live alone in a house hidden deep within the Cursed Forest or if it was something else, but that maid later became his first wife.
After the research he made on the witch continent, which lasted for who knows how many thousands of years and allowed him to learn of trusts unknown to most of the population, he went to the demon continent, where he made his name there through the constant battles that put fears in the very bones of all the previous generations of the Sovereign Demons of the 7 Deadly Sins.
After that, Alexander returned to the human continent to find his mother, starting her project of conquering the entire continent, which she gifted to him as a welcome back gift.
But after that, his mother turned weird, only ever enjoying her life and doing absolutely nothing else aside from enjoying the feeling of love that surfaced when commander David pledged his loyalty to her when she helped his kingdom, which had lost its king, from the danger of an invading empire.
and that was his life until many years later he joined the guardians and continued his research before making his last masterpiece that allowed him to leave for the prison realm and continue his ascension at speeds that shocked even him alongside his wives.
What realm would he reach in the end? And would he truly be able to keep up with Draco?
