Inside the private study of the Von Sterling family, illuminated by dim plasma lamps, Lord Alden stood gazing out of the grand window at the endless sea of stars in the Exoplanet sky.
A soft knock echoed.
A young man dressed in sharp noble attire, with flowing silver hair and a mesmerizing pair of purple-and-gold heterochromia eyes, stepped into the room.
“You summoned me, Father?” Xavier’s voice was calm, yet carried a distinct, mature resonance.
Lord Alden turned around.
Every single time he looked at his adopted son, he was mystified by the sheer aura Xavier possessed.
He knew very well that Xavier had been training in secret for the past ten years.
Lord Alden let out a heavy sigh before walking toward an ancient vault in the corner of the room.
“Xavier, you are now fifteen.
It is finally time for you to learn the absolute truth about this world,” Lord Alden said as he unlocked the vault, retrieving a golden scroll that pulsated with intense cosmic energy.
“You often read about the history of the multiverse in the archives, don’t you?
Surely, you must have come across the title ‘The Legendary Slayer’.” Xavier’s heart skipped a beat.
The exact title that had been flashing across his system screen was now being spoken aloud by his adoptive father.
He gave a slow, deliberate nod, keeping his beautiful face perfectly composed.
“To the common folk, the Legendary Slayer is merely an old myth,” Lord Alden continued, his voice dropping into a dead serious tone.
“But within the highest circles of nobility, we know the absolute truth.
The term ‘Legendary Slayer’ is actually the hidden title of our supreme King.
He is not a mere assassin, but the ultimate protector who holds the sacred throne to defend our entire world system and this planet from alien threats in deep outer space.” Xavier’s heterochromia eyes widened in sheer disbelief.
His mature soul shook to its very core.
Shock and profound awe surged through his chest simultaneously.
‘The Legendary Slayer…
isn’t just some hunter title?
It’s the title of a King?
A King who protects the universe from deep space entities?!’ “The last King fell hundreds of years ago in a devastating cosmic war, and the throne has remained vacant ever since.
This world is actively bleeding, waiting for its next ruler,” Lord Alden stated, completely unaware that the chosen King they were looking for was standing right in front of him, clenching his fists as a roaring fire ignited within his soul.
