Reborn As The Dragon Prince

Death rapier

Ricardo was feeling really delightful as his wish was granted easily by his parents. He didn't know what to say but soon Ruberth patted on his head with gentleness. He felt warm as his father caressed through his hairs. Now he needs to practice even more than before.

Now his utmost priority was to confirm his doubts. Soon he went to the specially arranged room for him. He was rendered speechless by the magnimity of the room. It was beyond the explanation of oneself. He pondered for a while but he soon collected his thoughts.

Now he needs to focus on combining his prowess and increase their destructive power. He thought for countless times coming with different kind of ideas. Some of which succeeded while some didn't. But he thought that this was still not enough for him. He wanted to create a spell that would defend as well as attack.

Finally he thought of combining wind magic with water magic in a lowered temperature form. He slowly started to visualize the firm within his soul. Slowly the atmosphere around the room started to fall below 0. Then again a gust of wind started to blew. It seemed to be moving in a circular path.

At a glance it felt like a mini tornado but it was spherical in shape. Finally inside the wind barrier formed dozens of ice spears and the spears seemed to be moving along with the wind. He take a deep breath as his face showed a satisfied smile. He said to himself 'Now I can attack my opponent without worrying about myself.'

After that he meditated again and continued to do so. This time he meditated for almost a week and he have grown a little Moore strong. His mana reserve was slowly increasing. His light attribute also seemed to have reached late stage of beginner level. But his dart attribute have stopped improving.

He pondered for a while but couldn't find out the reason so he thought if asking someone but again he thought that 'No I can't ask for help if I do so then my dark attribute would be revealed and my parents would feel bad' Thinking that he decided to find a solution by himself. He then walked passed a door but stopped his steps upon realizing something.

He look around and smiled gleefully as this place may have solution to his problem. It was the great historic library of their empire. It contained many information so he got inside but soon was caught by an elder. He was surprised by the turn of events.

The elder asked curiously "What is the prince doing here?" Ricardo replied honestly to the elder " I want to check few books so that I can learn about all the different kind of attributes." The elder felt quite surprised by the reply so he asked feeling amused. "Why do you want to know about those attributes? You are not of the age to have awakened your attributes, are you?"

Ricardo felt surprised and wondered whether he should tell the elder or not but before he concluded the elder have given his view "May be not it's not possible to awaken at the age of 5 as the history itself suggest of one being awakened at the age of 7 at the earliest." Ricardo then decided to hide the fact.

He then curiously asked "Can't I learn about them before being awakened?" The elder shook his head as he said "One must have two qualifications to enter the library." Ricardo exclaimed in shock "qualifications!" The elder then gently replied "Yes qualifications."

Ricardo asked again as his curiosity have beed poked "What are the qualifications please tell me?" looking at his face the elder felt enthusiastic and replied "The first one is to be of the proper age of 8 and the second one is to have awakened their magical attributes."

"oh I see" After saying that Ricardo turned around and left the place. The elder was surprised as he didn't thought of an outcome like this. He smiled as he watched the fading back of the little prince. Ricardo started to feel restless as he didn't know what to do anymore.

He pondered deep in thoughts he began to recall his past life. He was an average man with quite above average fighting abilities. He recaed the world he is in right now is different than the previous one. This world was n magical world and the strong were the rules in this world.

He remembered magic is like water and his body was like a reservoir. He concluded that in order to increase his mana pool he must also have a stronger body if not the man will outbrust just like water breaking the weak dam. He now wanted to practice his martial prowess and his sword art.

He also remembered the words of his mentor from the previous world. "You won't improve simply because you want to improve. You can improve to your limits only if you practice deligently but to be even stronger you have to face harsh challenges. One must face life and death situations to break their limit. Only by doing so will he/she be able to awaken their hidden potential"

As he began to remember these words he decided to improve his body and strengthen it. He then began to think about where he should go now to improve his arts. As he was walking he passed through a place where many of the solders were training rigorously.

Feeling amused he said to himself this is the place. He then went to the training ground. Many shoulders were shocked to see the prince. They thought that the prince was interested in their training fights but to their expectations more of the surprises were coming.

Ricardo stroddedvaround the training ground and at one place he saw different types of weapons carrying from small to large. There were swords, axe, dagger, hammer, spear, knuckles, shields, etc. Among all of them a sword piqued his interest.

This sword was kata a styled sword its length was quite long but Ricardo felt as if the sword is calling him and it was made for him. He slowly walked towards the sword. The sword was giving off a black aura. He could feel his attribute of darkness being restless.

Just as he reached the sword he grabbed it with one of his hand and he felt as if he heard a call. Thus sword was no ordinary sword and possessed its own will. Making it difficult for average people to weild this. Ricardo could clearly hear "Are you worthy if me?" Ricardo didn't know what it meant.

His dark attribute was resonating to this sword so he closed his eyes and focused in his dark attributes. Slosly his entire being started to engulf in a dark mist. The solders were getting restless. It was because this was the legendary sword death rapier and it have been hundreds of year since it was last weilded.

Feeling troubled one of the solders quickly ran towards the palace to inform his majesty of the happening. The solders tried to stop the prince but their words didn't even reach to the prince. The dark mist was getting heavier and heavier. Ricardo was already in different space before he realized it all.

A voice ranged "Who dares to intrude?" Ricardo felt an unease and asked back "Who is the one speaking?" A loud laughter could be heard kfukfukfu... "A mere brat dares to speak me in such a rude tone."
