*recap of Arthur's childhood before and after they were attacked*

After Arthur was born and he learned how to crawl, he visited the library inside the house. Her read books as well as learn about the Mana cores. Ever since he began concentrating to unlock his Mana core. At the age of two he was successful and in the process destroyed his house as his parents were outside. His mother began to teach him how to read and write, while he also learned the basic of Mana manipulation and augmentation.

His father taught him basic body workouts because he was too small. That was until him and his father finally had a sparring match, after he deemed Arthur ok to practice. In the end, Arthur win cutting the stick in his father's hand clean off as it fell to the ground. Arthur who was breathing heavy asked if he could leave to go study which his father allowed trying to process what happened. He began to do Mana Core Cultivation around this time he was called for dinner. This is when his parents was having a discussion of whether they should get Arthur a mentor or not.

In the end, they decided to let Arthur voiced his opinions to which he asked them if they could both come to meet the teachers. They began to laugh as they agreed with his idea and decided to travel with their old friends the Twin Horns to Xyrus City. On the way they had a lot of fun and laughs that would laugh a short time. He got closer to the members of the group and having a spare with one of them. That was until they got attacked by bandits. Upon getting attacked he found out why his mothers was acting weird. She was pregnant. As he began to run away to get her to safety he realized that one of the mages were missing.

He looked and the last mage preparing an attack, he sacrificed himself by throwing his mom pass and using Mana strings to bring the enemy down with him. As he fell down his final were about him being an older brother.

This is where our story begins.

Arthur's P.O.V
Grey (Arthur's past self) got up from his bed and made his way to the door. As he opened it a maid with black hair and blue eyes was by the door with a plate in her hand. "G-good morning, King Grey." they stuttered together upon him suddenly leaving the rooms s he walked past them. Grey walked through the door and a man who was a part of the council was behind the desk. Upon hearing someone enter he raised his head and saw Arthur. "King Grey?" The man asked as he saw Grey walk towards the pictures on the wall as he stared at them.

He was staring at the pictures of the The Council. 'The Council, the ones who actually governed the country, managed it's politics and economy.' King Grey thought as he stared at their picture. Then he looked at the picture besides it, the picture was him. 'In a world riddled with problems like decreasing birth rates and limited resources, wars were replaced with duels and armies by kings. I was one of them.' King thought still staring at his picture.

"Admiring your handiwork, I see. While being apart of the council is rewarding, I won't lie and say I'm not envious of the fame and glory you kings receive upon victories." The Council member said made his way closer to Grey. "Anyway, to want do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected visit?" The Council member said as he looked at King Grey who was still looking at the pictures.

Grey grabbed the metal on his neck as he took it off. He walked over to the Council's desk and rest it there before heading towards the door. "I'm retiring, Marlorn." Grey said to the man named Marlorn as he continued walking without turning back. "Grey? Hold on!" Marlorn shouted as Grey never stopped.

'I spent my whole life for the sake of being the strongest. And for what? Fame? Glory? I was still an orphan, with everyone I cherished gone. I'd give up everything I had in that life for a chance to go back to Ashber and see all of them again.' Grey (Arthur) though as the scene changed to him hanging out with the Twin Horns and his parents sitting by a fire as they ate and made jokes.

~present~

'Where am I? How? Am I still alive? Damn.' Arthur though as he opened his eyes only to be met with the rising sun and clear sky. He turned his head and saw the body of the magician that fell off the cliff with him. The man's body was deformed with his bones broken and body twisted into different directions. Upon seeing this sight he threw up before he closed his eyes again.

When Arthur opened his eyes again, he felt something on his nose. He sneezed causing to fall on the side of him. He looked and saw leaf, as he looked it something caught his attention. He turned his body over and crawled to the food that was on the floor. He ate, drank the water before going back on his back before closing his eyes again.

'Thank you for the meal...' Arthur though before he closed his eyes for the second time losing consciousness. When he opened his eyes for the third time, he tried to get up only to fall on his back. Instead he closed his eyes and focused and carrying his Mana threw every part of his body allowing him to move. He was finally able to stand before he looked at the body and grabbed the knife.

'I...survived that?' Arthur thought as he looked up at the mountain that he fell from. 'How long has it been? And...where am I? It doesn't matter, I have to move on.'  He thought as he began to make his way through the forest. "Oh... You're awake?" A voice said in Arthur's head causing him to stop in shock. 'Huh?' He asked as his eyes were open wide.

Arthur's Note
Sorry this is short. I was going to continue but I felt that I should make a new chapter for the information in Chapter 12-13. I also shortened the information from Chapter 1-10 because of how long it was and we only need to know necessary information because I want to get to the part where he meets Sylvia and Rosalia.
