Prologue
Oftentimes a spirit mage can acquire three or four familiars in the spirit world. However, you cannot possessed or demonstrate magic without any familiars to begin with but there are ways to determine what affinity you are capable of. Those who have high affinity to elemental spirits became kings, rulers and nobles of the world. Those with single affinity are likely to be recruited to the army. Yet, this can take many forms such us taking advantage of someone. Abuse of power can also mean a person using the power they have for their own personal gain. Until one day they have known through prophecies, of a boy who can use multiple spirits and can even fused two or more elemental spirits to create a hybrid spirit . With a devastating power that in one day as predicted, will most likely be the next emperor. Upon knowing, the Emperor ordered his mage leaders to look for the boy. This mages are renowned for their powers and knowledge, but they may also be suspected of harming others and thus feared. The Emperor afraid of losing his seat ordered his most trusted army of mages to find for the whereabouts of this boy and to execute his one and only wished, to search and destroy.

“Drunce, a tergo occidere”.
”your will is my command”
as the fire-wind familiar watch his rear and obliterate visible enemies while the boy dashes to a several fireballs coming.

”Continue from Covering me while I prepare for my magic”.
“Mors Vutom, in corpore separatam”
surging black clouds appeared out of nowhere and in a mimutes time a thunderous sound can be heard from the clouds.
“Fooor life haas too be taaaken for thooose who defy the chosen one, huwahahahaha”
a creepy sound can be heard and in an instant numerous bolt of lightning struck the enemy below. Others having seen the catastrophe that was coming tried to flee, but unfortunately, those who are within 1 km radius was already branded.
“Thanks Mors Votum”, the boy exclaims.
”hmmmmm till then young master”, said by his Dark-Lighting Spirit as it vanishes thru the sky.
The 10th Grand Mage Infantry, these are 10th to the elite army of the Emperor himself. Serving as Vanguard for the Empire but in an instant almost half of its army have perish from the boy’s prowess. The emperor was taking his last stand from the boy. Who would have thought that the boy he is looking for is now in front of his Entire Army?
”Rediculously pathetic”
the Emperor exclaims before the fight. But now he was astonished and quite fearful now that the boy did cut a fraction of his army in mere minutes. Several months ago, several reports from his leaders that the mage assasins being sent went missing. In retaliation, he sent his 10th division army to subjugate the village where the boy is possibly hiding. The result was total annihilation of the boy’s hometown. This was also planned by the emperor to lure the boy from hiding. But now he was doubting his previous actions.
“Haha, this is now unavoidable. If only I have known that, he is my son. That Criselda should have told me that she was carrying my baby before running away. I guess she was too scared of my parent. I should have known. But what is done is done.. I was too greedy, I should not let the council influence my decisions.. Well, I guess I have come to the point of no return. So be it.. so be it……. With so much sin, such a weight of it. Weep no more! All men must die – you, I, everyone”, Emperor sigh.

“ Weasel!”, Shouted the emperor after contemplating.

“Tell all the Mage leaders to prepare, we are heading to the battle!”

8 147Reincarnation of a Businessman
A businessman is betrayed by those he holds dearest and reincarnates into a mystical world of cultivation where the power of a single person can split the heavens. However, his reincarnation does not go smoothly... ******************** This is a xianxia (cultivation/progression fantasy) story which fuses a lot of western fantasy elements. This story includes POV's of different characters which are all going to be developed in the future and will have an effect on the story. The novel is named after the reincarnation of the businessman which serves as a cataclysm in the world of cultivation, and while the MC uses some of his business knowledge, this novel is not centered around the MC creating a business empire. I plan to extend the story into at least 2 books, both taking place in the same world. ******************** Updates will happen once every 2 days, but this is often going to change to once every day or once every 3 days because I am not currently writing full-time, and neither is my editor.

There, he finds a school of mages who speak of Gust’s father as if he were a long-lost legend. They fear Gust’s world and some even call him a demon. It is only out of respect for the coin’s former master that the mages take him in and teach him their methods for cultivating mana. But how could an immortal renegade swordsman turn into the quiet, withdrawn man Gust always knew? What brought him to Gust’s world in the first place, and why did he never go back? If Gust ever wants to know who his father truly was, he’ll need to embark on the very same quest that drove his old man insane. New Chapters M-W-F. **This is my attempt at western progression/cultivation fantasy, inspired by stories like Cradle, the works of Er Gen, and more mainstream fantasy like the Wheel of Time and the Cosmere books.**
