Chapter 2 - The Capital

Caution: My English is bad, and also the story is bad. Feel free to complain

In the carriage...

"So uhm... Lionel... What is your purpose for being here in this kingdom?" Seraphina asked

"I want to get stronger, you know... I'm weak," Lionel replied casually

"What do you mean weak? You single-handedly!"

"Yeah!"

A few days and a few nights later, they finally arrived in the capital of Elarion. At the very end, there is a big castle, and on the side, there are 2 big towers...

The Towers, The Kingdom made 2 towers for the strongest people in the kingdom. The tower on the left side is for the archmage's tower, where in this current Era, there are only 3 Archmages lef,t and on the Right side is for the Strongest Fighters, each with different classes, Spear, Sword, and Assassin. In each class, there are only 2 strongest fighters.

To be qualified for the tower, you have to be at least level 70. The highest ever in history is Level 120. Yes, only Level 120, the hero himself, and the hero is different; he soloed every demon and the continent, then defeated the demon king himself. After all that, the humans and the demons now work and live together in peace.

Leomord, the demon king, can control the darkness, but the god made a hero to kill him because gods are not allowed to interfere in the human world so that this world won't collapse.

The hero, Leon, with Blonde hair, Blue eyes, and also Kind, died after the battle because the Demon king put a curse on him that his age would be after only 50 years old. If the hero is still alive, he will be the king himself, except... His child took over Seraphina's Father, Reiner von Elarion, Level 89, now one of the strongest in the kingdom. One of his skills is to control light too which was also bestowed through genetics from the Hero Leon.

The Hero Leon left his Divine sword at the side of the throne. The one who could wield the sword, either the angel or the new hero. In today's Era, there is no demon king. The demon king cannot be reborn again. But there are still criminals and villains.

"Wow!! The Capital is big, right?" Lionel said very excitedly, then continued, "Wow!!"

"I know, right?! Amazing, isn't it?" Seraphina, the princess, crossed her arms and felt so proud about the compliment regarding about the kingdom.

"Ohh, what is that building over there?"

"Oh! That? That is the Academy of Leony, named after the hero because the hero has all attributes, and the school is divided into different departments, the department of Swords, Spears, Dagger, Marksmanship, Magic, Alchemy and lastly Blacksmith." Seraphina replied

"Ohh, wow! Is there an adventurer's guild here?" Lionel asked

"Yup, there is! Down that block after the academy on the right side, you can see a huge building over there!"

I should apply and become an adventurer

"Okay, we arrived at the castle!"

The castle looks like it's in a medieval era, but huge, it has a lot of rooms too, and at the front gate, there are a lot of knights. Suddenly bowed down as soon as the princess got out of the carriage.

"Come on now, Lionel!" The princess is very excited

Why is she so excited? I wonder?

A very long hall after opening the huge door can be seen on the inside, there are hallways on the sides too, and different rooms. Maybe it's for the maids and staff.

They arrived at another huge gate... The throne room.

They both got inside, and a golden and red throne can be seen, and also the king sitting down.

"Ohh!! My daughter your here!! And who is that handsome, tall young man behind you?" The king asked

"Greetings, your highness, my name is Lionel. I got lost, and the princess brought me here."

"Ohh Hey the- EEEKKKK!!! W-What is that attire? It looks so elegant! Are you some kind of noble around here?" The king is shocked at how he looked

He is clad in a regal white ensemble, radiating celestial elegance. His long coat flows like mist, made of ethereal fabric that shimmers subtly under sunlight — like woven starlight. The coat is tailored with silver embroidery along the edges, forming ancient, glowing runes that gently pulse with divine energy.

Beneath it, he wears a form-fitting white tunic tucked into high-waisted trousers, both stitched with thread so fine it seems unreal. A light blue sash wraps around his waist, fastened with a silver buckle shaped like a winged crest.

His shoulder pauldrons are minimal but refined — crafted from blessed mithril, designed to resemble folded feathers. Silver bracers guard his forearms, engraved with light-elemental sigils. From his back, two majestic white wings arch upward — enormous, pristine, and soft like fresh snow.

A cloak-like mantle flows behind him, split down the middle for his wings, with a faint aura of light trailing its edges. His boots are polished, knee-high, and reinforced with radiant metal — quiet when walking, yet firm when grounded.

Finally, his holy sword hangs diagonally across his back, its sheath pure ivory with glowing sapphire accents, humming with divine resonance.

"A-And that sword!! That is no ordinary sword isn't it?!"

There are currently several ranks for weapons:

Common

Uncommon

Rare

Ultra-Rare

Legendary

Emperial

Divine

Holy (Which is only available for angels and saints)

"N-No, Your highness, it's just an ordinary sword." Lionel is scared that he might find out that he is one of the angelic beings that only exist in myths, or a few hundred years ago

"Take it out then!" The king shouted

"I'm afraid I cannot, your highness, it's my property."

"How dare you disobey his order!" One of the knights shouted

In the king's perspective the sword looks divine it's shining

"I know, Father! I saw that his sword was used and it sliced tons of trees like butter with only one slash!" The princess said

"Yeah I know it's not o-"

Suddenly Lionel banished as if like a bubble that suddenly disappear.

"W-Where is he! Make sure to find him! He is not ordinary man! He is dangerous! Make sure we get him and become our asset!"

"Yes, My lord!" The knights shouted then ran and one by one every knights ordered to find him as soon as possible

"Whew! That was close, I almost got caught, and here I am in the adventurer's guild!"

He suddenly appeared in front of adventurer's guild building, even people around was shocked how he suddenly got there

Let's get inside!!

He opened the door, and suddenly, many people looked at him because of his strange clothing.

"What is he? A noble?" One of the adventurers asked

"Isn't he handsome?!" One of the girl adventurer said

He goes to the receptionist

"Can I register as an adventurer?" Lionel asked

"Yes, of course, everyone can be an adventurer!" The receptionist happily replied she is blushing at the same time

I don't know why every girl is like that to me. Did god give me such a handsome body? Thank god!! I love you, god!!

"But before we start can we measure your attribute?"

"Yes ma'am!"

The receptionist suddenly put a black orb and said "Put your hand sir" Lionel put his hand then...

System: You suddenly sucked all the magic on the orb

Magical Attribute Unlocked: Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Dark, Sound!

Unlocked new Stats! Magical Power! current MP: 9999 (Because of max intelligence you can learn any magic instantly!)

"W-What is this! Y-Your MP is-"

"SHHHH don't tell anyone! About it, even the guild master here. Pretty please!"

People suddenly looked at them, then shrugged it off

"Phew! That was close."

"Sir, are you even a human!?" The receptionist is confused and continue, "I will make your rank start at D rank instead of A so that nobody will be suspicious."

"Thank you!"

"Here is your guild card. You can pick up a quest up to C rank only."

"Okay, I want to try a C rank quest!"

"Try this! White wolves! 12 of them and you will earn 120 Gils"

120 Gils = 1200 Dollars so 1 Gils = 10 Dollars

"Okay, I will be back!"

Lionel left and walked around, and many people looked at him, especially girls he walked and walked and finally arrived at the gate.

"The quest said it's deep in the forest, maybe I can encounter some monsters and level up and evolve!"

Lionel left and went deep into the forest...

"Oh there is goblins! Light Slash!"

Whooshh

Lionel walked around and finally arrived at the den of the White wolves, but it was empty. "What happened here? Why is it empty?" Lionel is wondering if something is up

"This is suspicious."

Then suddenly a huge snake appeared! Lionel is shocked 

System: Giant snake Level 50, but you can handle it with your magic!
