Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Vaan spent the next 5 hours in the library. He was not much of a reader in his previous life, however, he had seen something that surprised him to his core.

He still could vividly remember how that white light surrounded and healed his injuries, the magic circle that appeared on top of his mother's hand as she froze his movement.

Magic…

This world was actually a fantasy world where magic exists!

Shooting Fire from his hands and flying in the sky! Wasn't it a man's dream!?

How could he not wish to learn more about it!?

Not to mention doing so would help him 'create his own perspective'.

Truthfully, Vaan wanted to start off with learning Magic, however, he knew he couldn't do that. Before that, he needed to build basic common sense of this world, and for that, he needed to learn more about this world and its history.

That was why, he spent these 5 hours reading about that.

While reading about the world, he also learned more about the family he was born into, the Vesta Family.

The name of this world was Agresia.

In Agresia, immortal beings with unnatural strength, or in other words, Gods, exist.

The Gods respond to their loyal worshipers, giving a boost to their worshipers' strength. There were many Gods, the God of Light, the God of Darkness, the God of Swords, God of Speed, and many more.

There was also a God of Magic.

Each God has a different church worshiping them, these churches are spread all over Agresia and no Kingdom had any power or influence over them.

People go to these churches to worship the God they believe in, if their faith is high and their resolve is strong, the Gods blessed them with strength.

Due to these blessings, Agresia and its people advanced quickly.

Just like any other Gods, there was a church dedicated to the God of Magic as well, it was called the Tower of Magic.

The mages who believed in the God of Magic went into the Tower of Magic and freely pursued the field of Magic.

But then one day, the God of Magic, the God with the highest number of believers right after the God of Light suddenly stopped answering his believers' calls.

No matter what the believers did, no matter how strong their faith and resolve were, no matter how badly they needed their God's help, the God of Magic never blessed them.

With that, the decline of Magic started.

Since no God blessed the Mages, they could only grow on their own. However, against the other believers, who were blessed by their respective gods, the Mages were at the short end of the stick. contemporary romance

Due to this, Mages' faith started withering.

Many stopped pursuing the art of Magic and shifted to other Gods. Seeing this, the other churches moved as well and actively started poaching the believers of God of Magic.

Under the combined attacks of other believers blessed by their Gods, the Mages left in the Tower of Magic had a hard time defending themselves. The weak-minded Mages left the Tower of Magic, the strong-minded ones died while fighting for the God that had stopped listening to their calls.

The Branches of the Tower of Magic, which were spread all over Agresia had fallen, however, none dared to attack the headquarters of the Tower of Magic.

That was because the Archmage, Alienora Vesta, the Leader of the Tower of Magic, was still alive.

She alone was strong enough to fight against the leaders of all the churches together, even when they were blessed by their gods.

Her achievements in Magic were so high that she was hailed as the strongest being in Agresia even without the blessing of the God of Magic.

Her name was written down as one of the strongest beings in the history of Agresia.

Her presence alone kept the Tower of Magic alive.

However, no matter how strong she was, she was not immortal, her age caught up with her and she passed away.

With her death, the Tower of Magic finally fell.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm The other churches tried to take over their resources and treasures, however, the new leader of the Vesta Family didn't let that happen, the son of Alienora Vesta, although not as strong as his mother, he was still strong enough to resist other forces and protect the remains of Tower of Magic.

And things didn't stop there, the Vesta Family continued to produce geniuses after geniuses, although the Mages could not receive the blessing of the God of Magic, the legacy left behind by Alienora was enough for them to defend themselves.

In the end, the other churches decided to give up.

The Vesta Family was too strong, fighting them came with dire consequences, the gains did not equal the losses.

The Vesta Family became the new home for Magic, the only difference being that they didn't worship any god, they were independent and were now hailed as one of the strongest families in Agresia with 5000 years of rich history and heritage.

And Vaan's mother, Astra Elicia Vesta, was the head of the current Vesta Family.

Vaan didn't realize the weight that this title bore before since he only thought that his family was richer than normal, however, after learning the history of the world, he finally realized the truth.

His mother, she was incredible.

Becoming the Head of the Vesta Family, not to mention she was hailed as one of the better Heads compared to some past heads, she was beyond impressive.

The more Vaan read, the more his heart fluttered in joy.

'To think my mother is this impressive. I cannot lag behind either.' A determined expression appeared on Vaan's face.

He finally looked at the time and seeing that 5 hours had passed, he raised his eyebrow in surprise.

Then, he sat up from his chair.

He looked around and realized that the library was empty, even the librarian was not there.

Seeing this, he frowned, he then walked out of the library.

"It has been a while, Young Master Vaan."

Vaan heard a voice. He turned around and his eyes then fell on an old man who wore a butler's uniform.

"Ah, you may not remember me, so let me introduce myself, my name is Ga-"

"Gabel," Vaan muttered.

"Young Master you regained your memories?" Gabel questioned with a surprised look on his face.

"I did not, I only know that you were my butler and used to serve me before… then… something happened and you didn't serve me anymore…" Vaan spoke with a slight frown on his face.

These new memories, they were messing up his head. It was as if he was slowly unlocking new information in an unordered fashion. He was having a hard time registering all of them.

"I served you until you dismissed me and announced that Aldric would be the one who would serve you," Gabel replied.

"Though now I am back again.

I am quite pesky, Young Master." He joked.

Vaan chuckled,

"I am glad you are back, Gabel."

This man seemed a lot better than that Aldric person.

"Anyways, Young Master, there is something I wish to report. It is a message from Lady Astra." Suddenly, Gabel spoke with a serious look on his face.

"What is it?"

"She has done what you asked for, other than you, Lady Astra, and me, no one knows that you have lost your memories."

"Already?" Vaan couldn't believe it.

Gable, however, just smiled,

"Don't underestimate your mother, Young Master. There is a reason she became the head of the family even though she was the youngest daughter the previous head."
