Chapter 113: Abyss

'August.'

Dedric's eyes widened at the revelation of the newcomer's identity. He did not have to rummage through his mind for long thinking about where he had heard that name before...

Everybody who was somebody in the modern Magic Era knew just who August Stavanger was... The boy who had taken the magic world by storm, accomplishing Master class at 16, in the same year he awakened, and then Sage class, at only 20 years of age.

It was an unprecedented feat! One that had been forever etched into the annals of history.

All the major aristocratic clans had been after him, all the factions, and even the royal family. Yet somehow, roughly ten years ago, all talks about the boy suddenly ceased.

Rumors said that some evil had befallen him after he dabbled in a forbidden magic. Others supposed that a mysterious Supreme class practitioner had murdered him out of jealousy and fear of his potential.
