Amara called Elarion outside the orphanage saying that she has something important to tell him about, Elarion nodded and followed her outside the orphanage.
Outside the orphanage Amara handed over a book which looked like an ancient relic and said it was his birthday gift.
Elarion curiously asked " What is this book ?"
" It is a cultivtion technique for you to cultivate, yesterday didn't you say that you want to become a storng cultivator so that you can take care of me and everyone at the orphanage, this book contains the path for you to become strong and capable."
" But what type of cultivation book is this, what is the name of technique in this book ?" Elarion asked but to which Amara merely shook her head " I don't know but the person who gave me the book said if you are fated to learn this technique you will eventually know of its name, the book contains only one cultivation technique but there are many other strong martial, sword and various other types of technique inside this book which are part of the main cultivation techniques of this book. The more you comprehend the book the more profound you understanding of the technique will become."
Elarion was astonished hearing the words of Amara, " But Aunt where did you get such a strong technique ?"
" When you were a child, an old cultivator who was gravely injured took shelter at our orphanage, as he was on his death bed he asked me to bury his body so that he can rest in piece and may reincarnate and live his life without the mistakes he made in this life and in return of his request he gave me this book as a payment thinking that I would be able to learn it but he doesn't knew that I am unable to cultivate so i stored the book with caution. He also added that only one person can inherit this book and it can only be comprehended by a single person if more than one person try to learn this technique the book will destroy itself and the same will happen if a person fully remember the technique and it's name will depend on the destiny of the person trying to comprehend this book."
Elarion gasped at those words, " But Aunt I can't accept it, this technique is too valuable for me to learn, you should sell this book and buy a cheap cultivation technique for me and that way we will not have to worry about earning money."
" I was saving the book so you could learn it or else I would have sold it already."
" Then why didn't you give me the book sooner?"
" Because I was afraid that it may impact you negatively so i waited for you to mature, I can give this to you without affecting you negatively. Consider it my wish or a command from my side but please accept this book as it has no use to me and I will be more than happy to give it to you."
Elarion reluctantly accepted the book, Amara said " you should learn this fast before others know about it, go try to comprehend it now."
Elarion nodded and headed towards the riverside to try to comprehend the technique.
He sat on the same stone on which he sat while fishing and opened the book and tried to comprehend it, he wasn't able to understand what was written inside the book but somehow everything he read inside the book was automatically getting printed inside his mind, he was only able to fully understand the last lines of the book. The last lines stated echoing in his mind:
The world has always been filled with suffering and brutality, people kill to eat, people kill for opportunities, people kill to rise, people kill to rule. There is bloodshed all around the world, blood of countless innocent children, women and man, the world is established on this bloodshed and there is the one who controls that blood, help the innocent to get the justice they deserve, to prevent countless other people to avoid getting their hands on blood by soaking oneself in the blood. The person once known as The Blood Overlord.
The book in his hand caught fire and startled by it Elarion dropped it. The book burned till there was nothing left even ashes. Suddenly his consciousness started fading and he fell unconscious on the rock.
Amara who was watching all this while hiding quickly came to him and carried him back to the orphanage.
Somewhere in the central continent on a mountain an old man abruptly opened his eyes from his cultivation and started laughing hysterically " Ha....ha....ha.. My Lord has finally returned, the world will soon fell into chaos and even the heavens will bow before him."
