Chapter - 1
[1 year later.]
Rosie: "It's been 1 year since the day we found him."
Kael: "Yes, this 1 year was so fast."
[Rosie got a call from her office.]
Rosie: "Ok, sir."
Kael: "Is it an excavation ?"
Rosie: "Yes."
Kael: "How long will it take for you to return?"
Rosie: "Might be a few weeks."
Kael: "Where are you going?"
Rosie: "It is in Mort's caves."
[Rosie left on the excavation, and after 3 weeks in Kael's house, there is a knock at the door.]
Officer 1: ..Are you Rosie's husband..
Kael: "Yes, is she here? Rosie! Rosie! Rosie!"
[The officer 1 took his cap off.]
Officer 1: Sir, she is no more; she passed away in the excavation..
[Kael starts crying, and he falls on the ground.]
Officer 1: ..Sir, I understand that you are very sad, but right now you have a son to care for..
Kael: "Did you at least recover her body ?"
[Officer 1 nods his head. After the death of Rosie, it was very hard for Kael. Kael took care of Blake but not himself, and then one day, when he was in his room sitting, he found a letter from Rosie and opened it to read.]
Kael: To My Dearest Kael,
If you're reading this… it means I couldn't come back to you. I don't know when or how you'll find this letter, but I pray it reaches you when you need it the most.
Kael, from the day we found Blake, I knew he was something more than a lost child in the middle of nowhere. The gods may have stopped speaking to this world, but when I held him, I felt a voice — a whisper of fate. Maybe it was destiny, or maybe just a mother's instinct, but I knew then… he was our light.
I've seen how you hold him and how your eyes soften when he laughs. You may not be his blood, but you are his father—in—heart, in soul, in everything that matters.
I know grief, Kael. I know how it carves holes in us. But I also know you. And I know you'll try to hide your pain, thinking it's strength. But real strength… is letting yourself feel. And rising anyway.
Don't lose yourself in this sorrow. Not for me.
For Blake.
He needs your love, your stories, your quiet wisdom. He needs to see that even when the world falls apart, family holds it together.
One day, he'll ask about me. Tell him everything. But most of all, tell him that he was loved the moment we heard his cry in that cave. That he was never alone.
And neither are you.
I'll be with you both — not in body, but in every step you take.
So, raise our son.
Make him laugh. Make him strong.
And when he's ready… help him become the flame that lights this darkened world.
With all the love I have,
Rosie
[ A Few years passed. Blake is 10 years old.]
Kael: "Blake, this is the time for you to start practising how to use your mana. I will take you to a mana tester, so we can know which type of mana you can use."
Blake: "I'd like to learn mana, Father."
[Kael takes Blake to his friend Henry, a mana tester.]
Henry: "Hey mate, it's been a while since we met."
Kael: "Yeah, Henry, this is my son, Blake. We came here for his mana testing."
Henry: "Yeah, Kael, it might take a while. Sit down, I will inform you after it is done."
[Kael sat on a bench. After an hour, Henry came out with a shocked face.]
Kael: "Henry, what happened? What type of mana does he possess?"
Henry(In a shocked tone): "Kael, he has a legendary magic that disappeared centuries ago, and if he can master his mana, there is a chance he can become an overlord. The legend has many people who have already become overlords using sealing powers. It's better not to tell anyone about this. I will give you a few books about sealing magic, read those and train him."
[Kael is shocked and scared.]
Kael(Shocked): "Ok."
[Kael takes the books home and leaves for their home.]
Kael: Rosie, what is this? How can a mana that you researched about and were the interested the most in be gifted to our son?
[They went back home, and Kael took a box of Rosie's belongings from the storage room and took a book out of it with the title "Sealing Magic". After a few days, Kael starts teaching Blake basic mana spells.]
Kael: "Hey, Blake, this is the time for you to go to the Mana Academy."
Blake: "But father, I don't want to leave you and go to the academy."
Kael: "Son, this is the time for you to see how the real world is and experience the different types of people and creatures that exist beyond this house."
The next day, Blake was very sad and due to that, he couldn't perform well in his entrance exam into the academy. Due to that, he was sent to join the basic mana academy. Then Blake started his first day at the academy.]
Blake: Damn, I don't know where my class is located, this acadamy surly is big!
Scott: "Hey, what are you looking around for, mate ?"
Blake: "Oh, hello, I'm looking for the Basic mana class."
Scott: "I am also in the same class, come, let's go. I am Scott, and you are?"
Blake: "My name's Blake."
[Scott and Blake enter the class.]
Jane: "Hey, Scott, who is this guy?"
Scott: "Ah, Jane, he is a new student, Blake."
Jane: "Hey, Blake, I am Jane, Jane Lawson."
[They shake hands.]
Blake: " Are you willing to show me the campus after classes?"
Scott & Jane: "Yeah sure, Blake."
[After the classes, they went around the whole campus.]
Bose: "Hey, you basic class Dumbasses, come here."
Blake: "Yo Jane, who is he?"
Jane: "His full name is Bose D.K. He is a big bully in this academy, and the academy is his father's. He is studying here, and he crossed the level of basic mana before everyone, so he looks down on the basic mana class students in the academy. His father also arranged special advanced mana teachers for him."
Blake: "Huh, talk about spoiled!"
Bose: "Hey, Jane, what have you done about the thing I told you?"
Scott: "Bose, leave her alone."
[Bose punches Scott in the face, and Scott falls to the ground. Bose and his friends laugh at Scott on the ground, groaning in pain.]
Bose: "Who is this new idiot?"
Blake: "I am Blake, a new student who came to basic mana class."
Bose: "Another weakling is here to get bullied, huh?"
[Bose and his friends laugh and leave the place. Jane and Blake help Scott get up from the ground.]
Blake: "How can you guys bare all this bulling. Why can't you complaint to the principal or to the management."
Jane: "As I told this school is his father's so if anyone complains on Bose and the principal punishes him, the principal and the student that complained on him will be kicked out of the school."
[The morning of the second day.]
Teacher: ..Hi, students, today I am going to explain to you about the types of magic that exist in this world…
[All students positively nod their heads.]
Teacher: ..First, we will start with Fire because this is the power that only a few people get as a gift, and it is also the most dangerous power for a person to have. If a person can master it, they can reach heights of up to Heroic level. Then comes Air, also known as wind power, this is the second rarest power a person can be gifted with, is the second strongest power. Then it is water power, which is the third rarest and not so common ,but compared to fire and air, it is common. The water mana has 2 ways that a person can master it. In the first scenario, it is the basic way, where there is a water source around the user, and the second is when there is no water source around the user. This is comparatively harder than the first. Fourth is the Earth powers, which are very commonly found compared to the other three elements.
Student 1: ..Sir, what kind of powers does a person have to become an overlord?..
Teacher: ..Sealing magic which is a legendary magic that was last gifted to a person a few centuries ago. But the legend says people with this power have become the overlord..
Blake: It is the same power that I have. I will ask my father about this.
