Chapter 2: The change Man
The emperor then examined his new body and made several discoveries.
First, this body was poisoned, most likely during its sleep. Second, this body is a terrible conductor of mana energy [wizard energy]. Third, this body’s crotch is of extremely rare and excellent quality. Fourth, this body’s face is not handsome enough, it is only average. Fifth, this body is inadequately too weak, I can’t even feel any muscles or abs when I flex. There are a lot of issues but also a bonus was gained in return, so far so good.
The emperor smiling at the thought of once again returning to his harem, once everything has been taken care of, investigate the source of poison that killed the person this new body of his used to belong to. [the previous owner].
“I must learn of the surrounding history of this person’s lifestyle” thought the emperor. “I am unable to use magic at this time, due to this body’s bad affinity to mana. But that won’t be too much of an issue. I was the best in the world when it came to light magic, fixing a little affinity with mana [fixing the mantra] is as easy as gathering ingredients in the garden”
The emperor proceeded to search around the room. In no time at all, he found it.
The cause of death. It was a tiny needle that would have pass unnoticed if one wasn’t an expert in medicine and poison.
The poison that killed the previous owner of this body was a deadly poison only found in the south province of Lithern Empire. It was a rare poison that when ingested or if puncture by a needle that was dip by the poison, will cause instant death in five minutes. And the worst of it was, you wouldn’t feel any pain, in fact, the poison makes you feel relax and sleepy.

“Someone must have really wanted this poor man’s life” thought the Emperor with a sad expression. “But thanks to the person’s death, I was able to come back to life. So, that’s just how the world works then”
As soon as the emperor finished examining the room, someone knocked at the door.
“Mitchiel-sama, are you awake yet?”
At first the Emperor was going to ignore the person’s voice, since that wasn’t his name, but then realized it was him the person was talking to.
“Yes, I am awake” said the Emperor, trying to sound like the real Mitchiel.
A beautiful maid with black hair, purple eyes, a tail, and small breasts entered his bedroom. She bowed to Mitchiel in an elegant manner and carried the tea to his desk.
She gently puts the tea on the desk as if afraid of consequences. She looks fearfully at Mitchiel and seems to be in a hurry to leave.
“If you don’t need anything else, I will take my leave then” the maid said and bowed.
Mitchiel [The Emperor] approaches the maid girl. She moves instantly back and hides her face with her hands in a protective manner.
“I am not going to hurt you” said Mitchiel sofly. “I am sorry if I ever did”
The maid girl looks at Mitchiel in a puzzled manner, and deciding that it was another trick by Mitchiel again, protects her face with her hands.
“Please trust me” said Mitchiel sofly. “I am not the type to hurt someone for no reason”
“As if” said the maid girl unconvinced of Mitchiel’s sudden change.
“What would I have to do for you to believe me?” asked Mitchiel.
“If you… help me with…the dishes” replied the maid girl hesitantly as if expecting Mitchiel to punch her and beat her for asking something so lower-class.

“Yeah sure” said Mitchiel.
“I am sorry, I am really sorry Mitchiel-sama, please forgive and don’t hurt me” cried the maid girl expecting Mitchiel to hurt her.
To the maid girl’s surprise, Mitchiel did not touch her at all.
“Um, are you really going to help me?” asked the maid girl with a sweet and surprise voice.
“Yeah” replied Mitchiel. “What about we go downstairs together?”
“Ok” replied the maid girl softly as she wipes her tears away.
------------
The two then leave the room and make their way downstairs. The Mansion was large, with different hallways and multiple rooms. There were four guest rooms, three living rooms, four bathrooms, one very large kitchen, 3 servants and two butlers.
Mitchiel [The Emperor] was surprised. It wasn’t every day that you found such a rich aristocratic family such as these. Mitchiel then became curious as to why this household would let their son [Mitchiel] be without mana affinity. It was rare for individuals to have a broken mantra, but it wasn’t difficult to cure it.
“If this household is as rich as I can see, they could have easily purchased the ingredients to make the cure. But why did they not?” thought Mitchiel.
The Emperor had a terrible feeling but he let it pass.
Passing by the hallway, the butlers welcome him by bowing. Mitchiel wave his hand to approve it. He continues to walk behind the maid girl. The maid girl was wearing a maid’s uniform and it looked cute on her.
They arrived in the kitchen, and just as Mitchiel said he would, he helped her. The maid girl was shocked. She had never seen this side to Mitchiel. She was very pleased but also uncomfortable. She isn’t sure how to act now.
“You don’t have to say anything” said Mitchiel, observing the maid girl awkward movements as she attempts to thank him. “Just think of this as thanks for everything you have done so far”

8 128Knight and Deserter
The year is 1039 of Autorm, and nothing has changed. The Knight Seekers still patrol the old highways, death is common in life, and justice is but an afterthought. Power is the unspoken truth, wealth is a means to an end. Anything else becomes irrelevant. The novel takes place in the fictional Kingdom of Spartha. The story revolves mainly around the adventure of two characters. Leondre vae Marras, the fourth son of a Marquis. A prodigy in the Royal Military Academy, and aspiring Knight-errant. Albeit he's still a teenager, naive, and also inexperienced with the outside world. He is also one of the few knights to take the code of Chivalry seriously. Then there's Cendric Forrester, the bastard of a decorated Knight. Sold off in servitude to the Order of the Knights Seeker, to unwillingly pay his mothers debt. He's tired of being the Orders pet hound. Ruthless to those standing in his way, and disillusioned with Chivalry and the world around him. Cendric is a survivor, and firmly believes one should have their own self interests in mind. Two opposites of a coin, the only thing they have in common besides their ire for each other is blood. They're cousins surprisingly, not that it really matters.
