Hi everyone! Before we head to the story, I want to give some notes first(◡ ω ◡)

Pronunciation of names

Straus = Straos

(Thinking) - the parentheses is used when the MC(Veneer) is thinking. Also, the thoughts of other characters won't be shown in the story.

Also, these kinds of GIFs are just a visual aid to help you readers what the magic looks like that the characters are doing. But, you can also just use your imagination to create your own version of that certain magic. I'll still narrate how the fight is happening. Also, just a heads-up that the MC is already OP right from the start. So, there's nothing in here such as character getting stronger and stronger. The MC's only weakness would be his emotions. This story will also be about showcasing the MC's knowledge and strength. Also, this story will be more about unfolding secrets and twist after twist. The romance might just begin somewhere around in the middle part of the story.

Before you start the story, I suggest that you read the description first because it's where MC's backstory is.
Chapter 1 - In The Forest
In a forest, a boy is being chased down by Slave Traders.
Slave Trader 1
Where is the kid?
Slave Trader 2
He went deep down in the forest
Slave Trader 1
let's go then
The Slave Traders entered the deeper part of the forest.
The boy is running endlessly even though his feet is already swollen.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Huff... Huff... I... I need to run and... run...
He keeps reminding himself to run and run.
The tears in his eyes keeps coming out and it just won't stop.
Then, a heavy rain started pouring and he slipped.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
I-it hurts... b-but... I... I need to run...
But he can't feel his legs anymore.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
W-why...? Y-you need to g-get up...
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Hey...
He hit his legs one time.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Hey...
He then hit it a second time.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
W-why won't you g-get up...
He began hitting it multiple times.
But even after all of that, he just can't feel his legs.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
I-is this how I'll die...?
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
The hopelessness in his eyes is just too visible.
Full of bruises, dark circles around his eyes, clothes that doesn't look like clothes, and a body with just bones.
Slave Trader 1
You're not going to die so easily
He turned around and saw that the Slave Traders already caught him.
His body began shivering because of fear.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
N-no... p-please someone h-help me...
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Veneer
How pathetic of you ganging up on a helpless child
They looked at where the voice came from.
Slave Trader 2
Who are you?
Veneer
There's no need to know since you're going to die anyway
The Slave Traders were pissed.
Slave Trader 1
I'm going to shut that arrogant mouth of yours
The Slave Trader(1) rushed off to attack Veneer with a dagger.
When the Slave Trader(1) was about to stab him, Veneer disappeared.
The Slave Trader(1) turned around and saw Veneer floating in the sky.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Wow...
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Leo's eyes sparkled in awe.
Slave Trader 1
Is that so...?
The Slave Trader(1) smirked and he suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Veneer.
He stabbed Veneer in the back of his heart.
Slave Trader 1
That's what you get when you're too arrogant
Veneer fell on the ground.
The Slave Trader(1) landed on Veneer's body.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
NO...!
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Leo blames himself for dragging Veneer with him.
Veneer
Who said you can step on me?
The Slave Trader jumped away from Veneer.
Slave Trader 2
H-how are you alive?
The Slave Traders froze because of fear.
They tried to run but there seem to have a barrier that's not allowing them to run.
The swords pierce their body and died painfully.
Veneer snapped his fingers and the Slave Traders body disappeared like it wasn't even there right from the start.
He then went to Leo and healed him.
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
T-thank you
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
But you saved my life
Things became awkward so suddenly.
After a few seconds of silence...
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
W-where to?
Veneer
Well... don't you want to become strong?
Leonard Straus(8 years old)
O-ofcourse I do!
Leo followed Veneer to his house.
