Idiot!

Adrius was pacing in his room, all of his plans were practically useless now. His marriage is useless, the only thing he can get out of it is the baby and it's blood.

‘How did I not know of such things?’ He has read a lot of history books to understand his new world better. But he has never focused on his own region But he focused on the whole magus world or other worlds. He was grateful that Croft stopped him before he did something very idotic that could result in his death in the worst way possible.

He was still angry at the academy and Croft for spying on his mind, he didn’t have confirmation but he just knew that it had something to do with his tattoo. He was not that dumb after all.

He needed to find a new set of plans for his future, because it seems he cannot go on with his original plans of building a Kingdom or an Empire. He strolled around his room three times trying to think of a solution, but he didn’t find any.

The thing that bothered him the most was that he married and now is having a child for nothing. What could the Firebird city bring to him now? Nothing, it could maybe bring him gold or even human resources for his experiments. But he was a magus and he dealt with magical stones and not gold, as for humans for his experiments it was one of the easiest things to find. He could just raid a village and take all of the humans he wants and no one will bat an eye.

‘It was a bad idea in the first place to take over the Firebird city, my greed for power blinded me. And I really wanted to feel powerful so I took it over, to prove to myself that I was powerful. And now look where I am, I have a whole city that I cannot use, a wife and a mortal at that. A baby on the way, and people that want to kill me form the Pegasus academy and my own academy.’

He was told by Croft that a message was sent to him by Oliver’s mentor demanding Adrius’ head. Croft said that he sent a message of him just laughing. Then the professor declared blood-feud on Adrius and Croft.

Adrius was really concerned about the blood-feud thing, he was still not even an official magus and there are some magus that want him dead. That was a bad omen.

He was not really afraid of being killed right now, because he had Croft to protect him. But magus lived for a very long time and who said that Croft would not die tomorrow or in an hour. Then he would be totally fucked.

So he needs power, and he needs it fast. Because even though he can live up to 150 years, he does not think that the magus that he offended will wait for him to die of old age.

But for now he needs to find a mission and do it or he would be labeled a traitor and executed on the spot.

He wanted something that takes a long time, like 5 or more years. He needs those years for him to plan and train. It has already been almost 2 years since he came to this damned world. And look where he is, he is at the peak of humans, he is the definition of a perfect human. And he is almost ready to enter a new realm of existence.

He also wanted to discard his name, Adrius was a fine name but it was not to his liking. As for Caseo, it was worse, the name was really bad and he would not wish the name of his worst enemy.

His name just didn’t sound badass enough, if he could he would introduce himself by his nickname. The Dark Eyed Demon sound way more badass than Adrius Caseo.

‘But what would I choose, I will not choose my old name. Should I choose a name from my old world or something from this world’s history?’

His name in his old life was James Darrson, it was an okay name but he doesn’t think that it will be good enough.

‘Now enough of this shit, I need to make new plans fast, to get power I need to find or get a meditation technique that suits me. It will be kinda hard because Darkness is kinda a rare element.’ Darkness was not common like fire, water, earth and lightning. Darkness and light were and are the rarest of the 6 elements. It was not known why, but some people say that is because the universe loves equality, so when a darkness magic user was born another one of light must be born too. Because these elements are each other's worst enemy.

Other people say that is because these two elements are just too strong to be common. Darkness element loves fire and lightning because they are of a destructive nature. As for light it loves water and earth because they have some healing properties and most healers use one of these elements.

‘The universe and magic are too mysterious , I swear, I will know every secret of these two in the future. It may take me millions of years but I will do it.’

A knock on his door brought Adrius out of his mind. He went to the door to see who it was.

Midway he remembered that he doesn’t have his mask on him. So he turned and extended a hand towards his bed , where his mask was resting on. The mask started to hover and moved toward Adrius, if someone was to concentrate and was at the right angle then they would see a shadowy hand carrying the mask to its master.

Adrius put on his mask fast then went to the door again, he opened it and saw two people he thought he would not see for sometime.

One had long hair, her hair was blue as the ocean, and it matched with her blue eyes. Standing beside her was another woman, she had short red hair that was the color of fire.

Adrius did expect them to come to him, but he didn’t expect the two of them together: ‘Now this an interesting turn of events’

Adrius smiled and used his most cold voice: “ Well hello there ladies. What can I do to you. I didn’t expect Eve and Sophie to grace me with their presence in this hour. It is almost midnight you know, and honestly I would not refuse a night with both of you”

He laughed because he saw that he got under their skin before they could even speak. Oh this is going to be fun.
