The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 89: Dorian's time at the academy (4)

Dorian is a commoner kid. Normally after he awakened, the only way for him to advance was to find a rich thigh and become their servant. Only this way would he have a chance to grow fast. He could try his luck in the forest but the forest is filled with monsters and bandits. So venturing into the wild is not a good thing for the newly awakened.

Most of the noble children would have started training their bodies since young. After awakening, they should have started to hone their weapons and skills. Even then there are chances of deaths. So they would have guards who would help the kids improve their levels.

Only a few families like Frostwolf, would send their children into the wild without guards. Even though they send them alone, these children would be given sufficient food and weapons to protect themselves and survive in the forest.

If they can't they can return. The family would then provide guards but then the resources that would be tilted towards them would be bare minimum.

This was a choice that a commoner child like Dorian would have but he had another choice presented at his awakening. He was given a system. It was an existence that made him powerful, the more he killed.

So his growth was much more than others who were at his level, which gave him the strength to hunt more. This was a repetitive cycle, that kept on increasing his strength to new heights as time progressed.

With the help of the system, Dorian dreamed of becoming the most powerful in the world and being able to rule the entire world. This was possible with the resources that were available to him. As long as he can kill and earn the required points, he can easily get them and become the most powerful person.

What he thought was that it wouldn't matter if he just became the most powerful person. He needs a lot of followers. Only then, having that strength would matter.

Dorian didn't want to be bound like that. He learned a lot of things from children who went to work for those nobles. Though they are safe and their families have better accommodation than they did before, these people were not happy at all.

They wanted more but the conditions were something that they themselves agreed to. They weren't forced to sign the contracts back then. The nobles did keep their promises back then but they now understood that they were underpaid.

Some at their rank would be much more powerful and richer than them but they also know that they wouldn't been able to reach such positions without the nobles' help. They wanted to enjoy the benefits early and had to pay for that now. There is no other way around.

If they had remained away, they would already be dead or still living in some small house in a city. There was no way for them to bloom without proper tools, which the commoner children lacked.

There is still a way to get out of this but they also know that this method is very dangerous and could end their lives. It would be best to develop slowly and steadily and live a long life, rather than trying to kill themselves.

They have seen that happen to many of their comrades. Only a few succeded and were able to gain freedom. It was tempting but it was a very dangerous path. They aren't protagonists of a story who would survive no matter what. He would even return from the dead and would gain everything that he wants in the world.

Most of these people are extras who wouldn't survive a few chapters in a story but Dorian felt that he was the protagonist of the story.

He believed that because of the system. He believed that this was a gift from the heavens, a blessing to him. With that, he can rule the entire world, which he was so sure of.

Moreover, he found his own stepping stones, some noble brats who think that they are better than others. What other way is there for a protagonist to step onto the world stage, rather than by stepping on those noble brats?

This is his story, he believed that very much in his heart.
