《The Black Sheep Prince(complete)》Prologue

Prologue
In a world where magic exists, in a small continent in a gigantic world, different races coexist among each others, not a peaceful coexistence, but coexistence anyway
Human Elf, dwarves, demons, beast men and the enemy of all, monsters
Thanks to an existence called mana veins that can be found on the earth all around the world, mana exist all around the world generating all kind of monsters and threats
And in a world like this, humans should be in great danger, but thanks to magic, society and technology
Their society is similar to medieval, from earth with kingdoms all around but with an advanced technology thanks to research in mana and their uses
But besides tools and kingdoms, Humans have the ability to use mana directly
Sadly, not everyone can use it and there are two ways to use it. You can use the mana all around you to change to your will, or if the person can generate mana inside their body, they can use it to increase their ficical abilitis
A person that can manipulate the mana around them, are usually called magician or users of outer mana. They can change the mana at will, but are dependant of the density of mana around them, and can only change it to something specific. Some can make fire, some can make ice, some can heal, and some can even change the mana to 2 or 3 different things
As for people that can generate mana inside their body, they are usually called warriors or inner mana users. The amount of mana they can generate and the efficiency increase with training
And it's thanks to all this that humanity can stand in a world full of dangers and threats
Griffon Empire - Capital
In a world where magic exists, in a big Palace in a great country lived a prince. This prince wasn't stupid, wasn't bad looking or talentless, and you could even say he was above average

But even though he had the qualities to make a decent king, there was a tiny little problem
From the start, all his family was full of monsters
From the king and queen to his two brothers and two sisters. Their ability's were borderline insane, with him being the only exception.
The problem was he wasn't outstanding
Not only was he unable to use magic in any way, but all his abilities were considered average.
To be honest, for a noble, and even for a prince, he wasn't bad
He was smart, he was fit and even among nobles and royalty that usually had a high density of magic in their bloodline, the descendants usually had a 50% chance of being able to generate mana in their body or use ambient mana(10% for both)
As for commoners, it was usually 10% to had the possibility to use one of them and 2% for both.
Of course, not been able to use mana didn't mean he could take the throne since strength didn't matter to a ruler, it was just a convenience
Sadly, he wasn't better than his family in anything else. Every single one of his brothers and sisters absorbed information like a sponge, made everyone around them respect them and wanted to follow them, were incredible cunning and master tacticians
Her own little sister surpassed him on his studies when he was 6 while she was 5
What would you do in that kind of situation? keep struggling to surpass your brothers and their indomitable wall called talent?
Realising he had no chance of beating them in anything they do, he chose to start studying something they wouldn't, alchemy
And at the beginning, he was really focused at it (even though he really sucked)
But after an explosion that almost killed him and left him in bed for a week, he realized that he could get away from his monster family, studies and all kind of annoying stuff while recovering

So instead of fighting an impossible fight for the throne against that monster of a family,he kept studying alchemy without giving up but with the purpose of getting into a lot "accidents" over the years, and making injuries that look worse than they were.
But instead of trying to be better than his family in at least one thing, he did it with the purpose of getting into a lot "accidents" over the years, and making injuries that look worse than they were.
Of course his family tried to make him give up for his own sake, but with the excuse that if he gave up, he would keep being bad at everything, he manage to get away with it.
He wasn't dumb, he knew that talent wasn't everything, but when you compete with multiple people that makes an incredible amount of effort, have infinite resources AND have and unbelievable amount of talent, what choice do would you have?
He understood that since the rest of the family were extremely talented and he wasn't great at anything, he became last in the line to the throne and the rest of the family, nobles and population give up on him, but he didn't care
The thing is, the prince was ok with it. Since it was impossible for him to become king, even if he worked hard for the rest of his life, he decided to take it easy and enjoy been rich without obligations and responsibilities.
He even thought that for how smart all his family was, they were all fools. They chose a life full of hard work and hardship when they had the money and resources to live a comfortable life
This is the story of the trash of the royal family that is suddenly entrusted with the responsibility of ruling his kingdom and how he tries his best to get away from it.
Kings palace, The capital – Saturday, the 9th of June 7352. 03:09 PM.
A 15 years old youth was resting on his bed. He had black hair, black eyes, and an ok face, he wouldn't get the looks of the lady's as he walked or get the envy of other men, but at least he wouldn't be shot on sight because of his face, probably.
Thanks to an accident the day before he had a strange color in his face, but he was actually happy for it. It was his newest latest "accident" that have been happening in the last few years, and he was pretty happy because of it
Not only was he able to avoid his family for a couple of days, it was the perfect excuse to miss that annoying event that has the rest of the family busy.
The prince was happy reading some of the novels he bought in one of his escapes to town while eating some snack when he heard a lot of noises everywhere
Annoyingly, he decided to get out of his room and see why was so much noise outside
"what is going on?" (prince) ask the first person he found.
"PRINCE there was a BIG explosion at the royal event with no survivors....."(maid) panicking like the rest.
"Wait a minute, if there are no survivors, what happened to my family, where all there?"(prince) confused.
"sir, the whole royal family was there"(maid)
"Wait wait wait wait wait! if everyone was there, who will take care of the kingdom!?"(prince)
"well, I guess you sir"(maid) said reluctantly
"...... f*ck"

The Devil King
This story is a Frame Story (story within a story), and as such will contain two summaries to denote both. A man was summoned from his home world to another to serve as a Hero for the desperate Human race. Where, in between the worlds, he is tortured whist obtaining specialised abilities and a Class. However, just as he enters this new world, he is slain by way of dragon fire. Afterwards, his soul is picked up by a Goddess called Azazel and strikes a bargain with her. For a new life upon her world, he will give her entertainment. Unbeknownst to himself, she has more plans for him than simple “entertainment”. Ah, but the Universe has its own plans for the man who was summoned. Be it for good or for ill, the worlds will note the rise of something more. ***** Sarah, the Goddess of Iridescent Colours, is the Goddess Queen of the Terran Pantheon after marrying a being called the Ageless who is the God King of said Pantheon. However, after many a century of being together, and giving birth to their only child, she has come to suspect her husband of breaking the oldest laws set aside within the Universe. Tampering or re-writing a being's Story. Of which contains a being's everything; from birth to death, everything is written within their Story. Tampering with such books would not only mark the being, but cause the Librarians who take care of such items to fly into a rage and slay the perpetrator. However, with the Ageless being the fifth strongest being within the Universe, she doubts if she could find a Librarian strong enough to slay her husband for the crimes he has committed. How did she come to suspect him? Her own story contains many pages which were re-written, and the one who has access to it is both herself and her husband. Therefore, she searches for answers, and has been given the story titled The Devil King in order to find that which she desires. Even if the cost is to read the whole book before she could act fully.
