She was born from a rather normal family, her father was a kind worker with few aspirations, and her mother a simple housewife whose greatest worry in life was cooking and taking care of the house.

A beauty of the like that shouldn't exist in such a remote village. A village so far away from the capital that they didn't even see the baron under whom the village was.

She had long and soft black hair, a gentle smile that seemed to wash away all problems, and a soothing voice that could lull even the worst beast.

She was loved by all, from her, an aura of grace and gentleness that shouldn't have existed in a countryside girl could always be felt.

This aura was so powerful that despite her clear beauty, no boy dared to court her and no girl dared to play with her.

If there was one problem in her otherwise perfect life, it was simply that she was blind.

No one could understand why. Her body suffered from no defects and she was in no way cursed.

Despite this, her daily life was in no way di

    The news of the birth of a new holy daughter came as a shock to the kingdom.It was even more so since it wasn't one of the potential holy daughters groomed by the nobles or the king.Her name was unknown, but her Saint name was-Camelia. Camelia Castitas.She was a beautiful young girl, her long golden hair flowed in the wind and her impassive face gave an impression of grandeur and power.Camelia never smiled. For she found no happiness in this world.Her position was revealed thanks to a divine revelation of the goddess.Her position as a holy daughter was cemented. No one, not even the greedy nobles dared to try to take over someone who directly had the attention of the goddesses.It's how she grew calmly and slowly in the church while learning her current and future duties.The supreme daughter of that time, Lily Castitas, was a kind and beautiful woman with few womanly curves.If one was asked what was her greatest trait, then it would be her smile. A smile as large and as warm a

    The world, Gaia, was divided into seven superkingdoms and seven religions. Each of them represents a sin and a virtue.Out of the seven, the most powerful was without a doubt Gluttony Foss, under the might of Echidna.But, the one with the most diverse population was without a doubt the Wratharis Republic, home of the beast-kin and also known as the kingdom of hundred clans.The national religion of the republic was Patientia, the virtue of patience, while the royal family was under Ira. The sin of Wrath.The Wratharis kingdom was both large and rich in resources. Its position close to the sea made it a kingdom that mainly relied on ship transport and seafood. They were the greatest exporters of seafood in the world. It was without a doubt the second richest kingdom after Slothstein."Miko-Sama! Miko-Sama! This is incredible! I just received incredible news!"In the hall of an old temple, a young girl wearing a white and red Miko clothes was running with an expression of shock on her

    At the end of her dream, Camelia slowly opened her eyes, glistening with tears. Slivers of light filtered by her window, it seemed that it was still the middle of the night.'I wonder what expression Blaze would have if she knew my relationship with her son.'In terms of personality, Sol was truly a blend between Blaze and Mars. She liked that about him. He still lacked experience, but she did not doubt that he would awe the world."Did you have a nightmare?"A finger slowly took away the tears from her eyes. Sol's gentle voice reverberated in her ears. Smiling from the bottom of her heart, she snuggled up to him and closed her eyes as she murmured."I really, really love you."While such a heartwarming scene was happening,A young blonde-haired girl was currently panicking in her room.Her face was red and her breathing erratic. She couldn't understand what she saw.After Sol took back Camelia to her room, Chloe had decided to go visit her and comfort her a little. But what she heard

    "You just have to put your hands on it and circulate your mana."Taking a deep breath, Sol did as he was ordered.The crystal ball immediately began to illuminate the surrounding with a deep golden light. The number continued to climb at a very large speed and finally,Both Chloe and Camelia exclaimed in surprise.Capacity was extremely important for any human.As he looked at the numbers, Sol remembered his discussion with Edea"What is the probability for one to be born with 10 points in capacity?""What about being born with 100 points?"Mars capacity was the highest known in history, reaching a startling 350. The moment this information was known, every kingdom exclaimed in surprise.But if they were to know Sol capacity, they would surely stumble in shock.A normal S class had a capacity of about 100 CP. Sol's mother, Blaze, as the direct daughter of Tiamat, the dragon of pride had 150 CP.Camelia screamed in joy as she jumped into Sol's arms.She was in complete exhilaration. Th

    Under a beautiful sun and the gentle breeze, a bloody scene was being enacted.A groan of pain echoed, sometimes followed by stifled screams.On the clearing, one man, or rather a young boy, was laying down and fighting against the pain, while his four limbs were bound by powerful translucent chains seemingly made out of energy.The young boy should have been rather handsome in normal times. But currently, he looked more like a demon from hell or a tortured prisoner.His long beautiful golden hair and his handsome angular face were stained by blood as a bulge seemed to split his skull.His dainty but large hands were bloodied as his nails were falling off. The same went for his mouth as his teeth were falling and being replaced by new one.This wasn't all. Such changes, while painful, weren't enough to deter the boy with such a firm will.The true problem was what was happening internally. If the boy still looked somewhat human externally, internally it was a totally different situati

    Cursing for the last time, Sol kneeled down with a haggard expression.Two days. It has been exactly two days since the start of this excruciating transformation.Pain, pain, and even more pain.During those two days, Sol couldn't count the number of times he wished to simply fall unconscious and wake up once everything ended. But he knew he couldn't.During all this time, sometimes his will would waver.Do they even need me to protect them?He would ask himself those questions and began to give up, but each time it happened. He would wake up by repeating one truth.A man who couldn't protect his loved one was lame.Nothing more, nothing less.It didn't matter how powerful they were.It didn't matter how independent they were.It didn't matter that they stood near the pinnacle both in terms of influence and personal power.And it was his duty to give them a sense of security.Some people might call it sexism or something of the like.But it wasn't so. He recognized their worth and the

    "Now that you have taken a good bath, it's time for us to observe the changes you went through."Sol now sat cross-legged on the clearing of Edea's world, Freya and Edea standing on either side of him.He was once again had his upper-body naked, but he didn't particularly mind. He liked the way Edea was covertly peeking at him and feeling the appreciative glances of a beautiful woman like Freya wasn't bad."Well, Sol, before we begin we need to be clear. We already know your capacity, so today we must understand and judge your Mana Quantity."Three principles were used to judge humans and magical beings, Mana Quantity for the two, quality for magical beings, and capacity for humans, this was the norm.Once Edea was sure that she had Sol's attention, she waved her hand and made threads of blueish energy appear in her hand."Those who manipulate mana can do it in two different ways. Those who follow the first way are called mana users, or simply warriors. They manipulate mana in its raw

    Sol frowned in concentration as he sat cross-legged on the grass while facing Freya who was also seated with her legs gathered under her.Edea was currently in her house, at the beseech of Freya.The fact that she had pink panties didn't really surprise him, nor the fact that she was utterly unashamed to show him her underwear. No, what was bothering him was his element.It would have been one thing if his element was something like metal or fire or lightning, but no, his element was something super hard to grasp.It wouldn't have been a problem if he was a full dragon. But as a hybrid, he didn't have the instinctual ability to use his element. He needed to at least get a feel for it by himself before some sparse instinct began to kick in.It has already been more than 3 hours since they sat like that, but Freya didn't seem particularly bothered. She was just looking at him with an empty gaze. It was particularly unnerving since she had seemed so bubbly at first.Feeling frustration a

    The gentle calming music of a harp echoed soothingly in the large dining space. In the middle of the pristine white room people, guests of today's event, sat on either side of the relatively large table. The Supreme Daughter being the only one sitting at the helm of the white wooden dining table.The stirring notes of gently plucked strings, resounding like the angelic hymns of heaven, were also the sole source of noise in the eerily quiet room. Even though the group currently dining was quite sizable, they ate in perfect and utter silence.At the head of the table sat Camelia, resting on her comfortable seat, on her right sat Sol, and on her left the Duchess Milaris eating away with elegance, the scowl never leaving her otherwise glorious face.The rectangular table was clearly divided into two camps, two sides at a silent war of stares, with Sol's side of the camp being quite empty. Still, this did not seem to bother him in the slightest.The table was filled with delicious but ligh

    He echoed out loud in absolute bewilderment.From the situation, he could somewhat guess what she meant but he wanted to hear her explain it, without that there was no way he'd be able to believe the presumptions his mind reached on its own.A sad smile, full of melancholy and pain, formed on Lilith’s face; saddening further seeing his incredulous look."Do not underestimate the means of a woman. Do you know this saying? Beauties are the bane of heroes.”Lilith didn’t dare to enter into details, just thinking about this wretched memory made her heart hurt, and made it hard for her to breathe."I do not wish for you to meet such a stupid end like your father. Your father was very poor at handling women. How to say this… He was too dense? Too easily flustered by women? I never understood why despite all his power he became a total mess when facing a person of the opposite gender."She sighed sadly, remembering about Mars and his foolish antiques when it came to women, she continued her

    Hearing his sudden question, Lilith, who was about to eat her meal, narrowed her eyes to slits; myriad emotions filtered through them before she elegantly put down her fork and knife, resting her gaze at a serious Sol, more serious than she had ever seen him before.She knew for a fact that this question would be coming her way sooner or later and in fact, was surprised it took so long.Silence settled between the two as Lilith searched for the right words to answer Sol, to explain what he desired to learn. She wished for nothing more than for him to understand her woes and the grounds behind her actions.Before getting pregnant with her daughter, Lilith had never been interested in motherhood and she believed that she was far from the perfect example of what a mother should and could be.Her life was a battlefield and she was a warrior, motherhood never came close to the nature of slaughter and destruction she cultivated throughout her life.Thus, the inevitable happened when her chi

    Having cummed thrice from Milia's passionate and meticulous attention, Sol had fallen asleep almost immediately. The day's tiredness, and the mental strain of the pleasure he received, coupled with the strain of the passion-filled exercise was just too much for him to do anything but immediately shuttle to the realm of sleep. However, for some unknown reason, as the light of the sun, filtering through the curtains, shined on his shut eyes and began to rouse him from his deep sleep, he felt a wet and warm sensation surrounding his lower body, specifically his hardened meat-slab. Slowly rubbing his heavy eyelids, still drooping with sleep, he looked at his crotch, and immediately, identified the source of the pleasurable feeling originating from his pleasure organ. “Good morning, your highness.” Milia looked up at him with a gentle and slightly lecherous smile, but for some reason, his underwear was pulled down to his knees and his morning wood was held firmly in her dainty hands, s

    In this world of fantasy and magic, Seven Kingdoms stood tall. Each of them, named after one of the seven sins, each of them representing one of the seven races inhabiting this world.Among them, there was the race of humans, and their kingdom was called Lustburg, named after the most hedonistic of all the sins, the sin of lust — representing the relentless passion and prolific desire the race representing it, humans, instinctually held.Presently, in a luxurious room situated at the very top of the royal palace of Lustburg known as the tower of Babel — a tall tower clad in the colors of white and gold, and stylized with archaic artistry — a young blonde-haired man could be seen sleeping soundly in a grandiose circular shaped bed, large enough to hold four or five people and still have enough room for them to sleep comfortably.“May I enter, your highness?”Whatever dreams the young man might’ve been experiencing were broken like shattered glass as his eyelashes faintly quivered, the

    What followed was a simple speech where Sol talked a little about himself and his wish to make the kingdom stronger and better. The usual rubbish.He now understood a little why politicians always lied during elections. The populace didn't care about the truth. The truth was heavy and full of bleakness.What they needed was someone who could make them dream. Someone who could promise them better days ahead. That was also why religion was always popular no matter what era.Well, this was just his opinion based on his experience.After the speech followed by the applaud, Sol's role was pretty much over. It was just noon and he had until the evening before having to go visit the Highland family. As such he decided to go to the quarters in the tower of babel with Lilin.After welcoming her, Sol immediately began discussing with Lilin about her adventures."For the first few weeks, I just stayed in the kingdom."From what she said, she didn't simply leave without any plan. She stayed in th

    Under a shed in the hanging garden, a beautiful red-haired woman reclined on a rocking chair, a large white blanket covering her as she observed a young man busy himself around.White snowflakes fell like petals of a flower from the sky but thanks to a special barrier none of it entered the garden but instead drifted aimlessly around it, giving this sight a mesmerizing feeling.Sighing, the red-haired woman asked, "Why don't you let me help you, you know that I just discovered my pregnancy two months ago right? I still have between twelve to forty months before giving birth."At the end of the day, even though she looked like a human and had reproductive organs compatible with humans, she wasn't one. She was a dragon. A mythical creature mainly made out of energy rather than flesh.For the fetus to mature completely, it had to absorb her energy until saturation. The longer this went on, the more talented the baby would be. The problem was that during this period, the mother would be s

    (AN: Those events happen few days before the tournament.)Sol was currently resting in the church after having fled from the training with Lilith. He didn't mind being trained harshly, but he also needed to relax from time to time.“To think Sol fell asleep so soundly, that crazy Lilith must really be tiring him.”“Indeed. However, his sleeping face sure is cute…"While Sol was still in the middle of his dreams, two women entered his room, enjoying the sight of his sleeping face.One was Milia, his maid and the other was unsurprisingly Camelia. They were now sitting next to Sol, watching him as he sleeps.“Nevertheless, for him to not even wake up with two people so close to him. Perhaps Lilith isn't training him enough?""This isn't the case. I assure you that his highness senses are incredibly sharp. It's just that he doesn't consider us as a threat and as such his sense didn't wake him up.""Fufufu~! I see. In short, he felt at ease next to us."It was truly incredible to see a Mai

    "I see, so you are Setsuna."In a large room, a blue haired little girl could be seen standing in front of a blonde haired woman.'Incredible! So this is the daughter of Castitas. How powerful.'It wasn't the first time she had met someone at the level of a ruler. But compared to her father, or even her uncle, the woman sitting with a faint smile in front of her made all her instinct scream in submission. She had to give her all to not simply roll over and show her stomach.Seemingly noticing her discomfort, Camelia showed a smiled in apology before dispersing the silent pressure that was filling the room."I am sorry. Your father was someone I respected very much. Hearing about his potential demise is something truly sad and I lost control of my emotions."Setsuna lowered her head at the mention of her father. Her eyes reddened as she fought to hold back her tears. No matter how far she had fallen, she was still the princess. She refused to show such a disgraceful sight to a stranger
