Chương 3: Ch. 2 Second Chance

What Paskha saw right now was his teacher teaching him everything he knew... in a classroom. The strict and disciplined teacher taught the class about political knowledge, war strategies, and how to cultivate and fight.

But wasn't Sir Clove already in his seventies? Why did the older man look thirty younger now? Not only that. Why is he in the classroom? And also… why do small children surround him?

Paskha looked like an idiotic boy trying to calculate the sum of one plus one.

"Paskha!! How dare you sleep in my class?" Paskha had not awakened from his reverie even when his teacher scolded him.

"Paskha, are you okay?" But the same soft voice managed to bring him to reality.

Paskha looked sideways at the classmate who had woken him up, and there he saw… the woman he loved the most. Without realizing it, tears gathered again, seeing his lover still alive. Overcome by his feelings of joy—between not realizing or not caring about the condition of the woman's weird frame, much smaller than his memory, Paskha immediately hugged the girl.

The clueless girl instantly felt burning all over her body in Paskha's arms. On the other hand, the class teacher—Sir Clove, felt the blood rising to the top of his head, seeing his student's unusual behavior.

Once again, Sir Clove hit Paskha's head with a thick scroll making Paskha wince in pain.

Even though Paskha felt reluctant because he had to break away from the tiny figure of his sweetheart, his teacher's blow managed to make Paskha pull away.

"Sir, why did you hit me? Am I not your favorite student?"

"You impudent child. Get out there and run around the field twenty times!!"

Run the field twenty times? Hmph!! It was an easy job for him―he could even run around the school grounds a hundred times without stopping.

Or so he thought.

Paskha was utterly oblivious that his body was back to that of a seven-year-old and felt unbelievably tired in the sixth lap. Little Paskha decided to rest for a while, controlling his breathing.

"BOY! Who told you to stop?!"

Paskha was shocked and immediately continued his punishment, but now he slowed down.

His teacher was really something. Although the older man did not see him running and still teaching in the class, Sir Clove instantly knew he had stopped running.

While running, Paskha returned to thinking about this bizarre situation. He clearly remembered he had been fighting for more than a week, and all the troops on the battlefield were dead. He also remembered he had killed himself by jumping into the abyss.

Was what he was experiencing right now just a dream?

No. How could this be a dream when he could still feel the pain in his head when Sir Clove hit him?

Paskha didn't know what had happened and how he could return to those times when he had to choose his cultivation path. But for him, this was a scarce second chance. This time, Paskha would not be mistaken in taking the next step and deciding to change what he has been through.

If he returned to the past where he had not chosen a cultivation path to aim, that would mean… King Ahasuerus was still not dead.

King Ahasuerus was a good and wise king of East Borne. He opened the doors of his kingdom for the poorer and less educated people of West Chester to enter his kingdom.

The king provided education and provided financial assistance to the western kingdom so that the relationship between the two became friendly and good friends. And that's where Paskha met Sharleen, a charming little girl from the west who came to East Borne to study.

Paskha and Sharleen have been good friends since childhood and teased each other. At first, they had no romance, and the two were pure friends.

Until they grew up, King Ahasuerus was gone and replaced by his stupid and arrogant son, Prince Yosha―closing the gate and expelling all the citizens of the West Chester kingdom, making the childhood sweetheart realize each other's feelings.

Paskha secretly came to West Chester to meet Sharleen despite the ban on communicating with the western kingdoms. The two of them forged a bond of love and decided to meet freely through political negotiations.

Once a year, each kingdom would send envoys to the borders to negotiate. Although West Chester was less wealthy than East Borne, they were very skilled in agriculture. Besides that, the land in the kingdom of West Chester was incredibly fertile, and the weather greatly blessed this domain. Even if they didn't have luxury goods, they wouldn't starve to death.

In contrast, the land in the East Borne kingdom was extremely dry and rarely rained. They had to buy groceries from outside traders or trade with the West Chester empire. That was why, Paskha decided to become a general and was appointed with the title of Lord Drake, a general from the palace who escorted and guaranteed the safety of envoys to go to the border.

At the same time, Sharleen was appointed with the title of Lady Pearl because she has a close relationship with a mermaid who lives in a mystical lake in the kingdom of West Chester. This mermaid will bring rain and tears to produce pearls that can be sold. But for the king of West Chester and the subjects, the mermaid was a patron god.

Unbeknownst to these two lovers, the king of the west took advantage of Sharleen's presence to control Paskha, and in the end, the entrapment war ensued.

Now that he's back in the past with future memories, Paskha won't let Sharleen have the same fate. And he wouldn't let crown prince Yosha ascend the throne in his father's stead.

He had to find a way to become someone where everyone had to listen—no one would disobey him, and not even a king could break his orders.

And the only thing to become that kind of person is…

Become an immortal… Eternal master.
