《Pact with a soul of hell.》After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.

From the memories of the old Xavier, was classified as a special talent, but he wasn't. He could remember everything yet it was not because of the energy, he could not feel the energy at all.
Although he searched in all the books in the library, he found nothing related to his affection. So instead of talking about, he chose to hide from the crowd and claim to be a special talent. And it worked. The old Xavier does not know, but the new one knows the name: hyperthymestic syndrome.
Old Xavier, though he managed to memorize all the books, started to have problems, the constant, irrepressible stream of memories has caused significant disruption to Xavier's life. Difficult to attend to the present or future, as he is permanently living in the past. And the list can continue.
Though new Xavier doesn't have it, actuality, he didn't try to assimilate energy in the points of his new body.
He didn't have the side effects of the affection, he thought of a single explanation: His body suffered a transformation once he took control.
This complex process of thinking spent in Xavier's head has formatted as he walked to Frederic's office. However, it's worth trying to see if anything has changed. So Xavier changes the direction to an inner garden of the library.
Once arrives, Xavier closes his eyes and focuses on his body.
This time it was different.
Even though his points didn't exist, his entire body had turned in an area to deposit energy.
The energy in Xaver's body was the same as in hell.
Apparently, because of the owner of the old body had no collected energy instead of resurrecting with the soul of a mortal, he made it with his captive soul of hell.
Practically as long as he does not release the energy, he can remain immortal. The body is just a casing. That explains why he hasn't lost his memories of hell.

To be able to use the arts of fighting, you must be able to release the accumulated energy. If Xavier does that, he would die. But if he returned as a soul of hell, it means he has the same capabilities as in hell.
He can form a contract with a mortal soul.
He could see through emotions and affect them.
Though you can do this, and with the help of this world, it is not as effective as the energy of hell.
As soon as he realized, a sinister smile appeared on Xavier's face.
There was good news.
Not only has he managed to return to a body and have the chance to live, but he can also stay here forever as long as no one kills him.
Except there are not only good parts.
Numerous people want him dead.
Even though there is only one person who wants him dead in time, there
will certainly be more.
Xavier knows the library will become very important.
After all, it is the equivalent of the ministry of education on earth.
Of course, it has not yet reached that level, but it will reach that level.
If there is no war, there will be corruption.
The principal object of libraries is educating nobles, except the library also has the responsibility to teach farmers.
It's not so popular, but Xavier is about to change that.
Once farmers begin to appreciate education, the kingdom will change and the library will have a better position.
[First of all, I need to make a deal with Frederic]
In the beginning, Xavier just wanted to see what explanation he would have for all that he had done.
Frederic had to take care of the servants also the report was done by him.
Actuality, Xavier knew Frederic was a pawn. If he had been in the past, he would have tortured him and killed him. But now he was another person.

He spent 10.000 years in hell. There's no way to kill, but there are a few tricks to make him suffer.
But now, it's much easier to make him accept an agreement. Xavier managed to make a man take his place in hell, how hard it can be?
Frederic's office was very close to his and looked the same. In the case of an assassination attempt, it would be harder to find the target.
From the memory of the deceased, Frederic is a friendly person, and very loyal.
A man who has big ambitions but no luck.
When Xavier became the strategist of the kingdom, Frederic offered to be his assistant.
He accepted because the symptoms of affections started to make presence felt and it was much comfortable with a man dealing with minor things.
But the war is over.
So Frederic who expected to be the assistant of a promising Strategist has become a simple librarian assistant. Like it was Xavier's fault that the war is over.
After a few minutes, Xavier arrives in front of Frederic's office.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
