(1) Albus Crowley

As a Magus, you, Albus Crowley, had your own pride and arrogance.

When people stood on the same level with each other, they would start comparing each other, whether it was their abilities or background. Magus’s society wasn’t an exception to this, as all low-level Magus were treated as noble, they began to search for what could make them stand up above the rest of their peers. Thus, Magus who came from Noble’s family used their pedigree to set up differences between them and Magus who was Freeman’s descendant. The noble magus called went as far as mocking the non-noble Magus as Mudblood.

You were a noble-born Magus coming from the prosperous Crowley family which had produced few Magus aside from you. Even though since you were a child, you already lived in the Magus Guildhouse and rarely interacted with your birth family, you still regarded yourself as a member of the Crowley family. It showed how you took pride in your noble ancestry considering many other Magus hold the mindset that they were special beings above the normal human who was unable to harness mana, even as far as cutting ties with their birth family because of disdain.

The Crowley family could be said as one of the few true Magus families because it had produced generations of Magus instead of just one-off. You often flaunting your pedigree as granted to your peers when you were an ignorant child but it made you question yourself after you reached adulthood.

How? Did the Crowley or other true Magus family bloodline was so potent it make them able to birth potential magus every few generations? Was it a matter of their genes?

You shook your head, the theory of babies born with the ability to harness mana because of the influence of their genes was a pretty debatable theory that had not yet been proven to be the exact reason. it’s not like the Empire’s royal family didn’t try to take the sample of several Magus family’s sperm and blood in an attempt to engineer their descendant with said genes to awaken their potential as Magus, yet the project had seemingly been fruitless until now because except King Solemn the Great, no other members of Royal family of the Sod-Morrah Empire had able to awoken their abilities to harness mana naturally, they could only use their Magitech tool to help them replicate the abilities to cast magic.

So, where did these abilities come from if it wasn’t exactly a matter of genes? It was a question asked by many Magus, including yourself, who desired to have their descendant also be Magus, alas the question still left with vague answers which weren't accurate to this day.

This curiosity for the answer to this question led you to trace your ancestry further down the history. You had made several conjectures and hypotheses based on your finding so far, one of your hypotheses was that Crowley had something to do with the missing Queens from the War of the Matriarch hundreds of years ago.

Those queens were very powerful Magus themselves at their time and they might be even more powerful compared to nowadays Magus. You have heard that ancient Magus could affect the fabric of reality, it would not be impossible that they tinkered with some of this world's 'rules’ so their descendant was able to awaken their potential as Magus, but without any supporting data, you were unsure of. Another question then surfaced in your mind was; If they were so powerful, how did they disappear all of sudden? No! The question should be, what did King Solemn do to them?

KNOCK KNOCK

The knocking on the door let you break away from your deep thoughts. “Enter,” in response to your order, the door to the room was opened by a beautiful buxom lady dressed in a sexy maid uniform.

“Master, there’s a guest by the name of sir Drake wanting to meet you since an hour ago,” said the maid

“Sir Drake? An hour ago? Why did you tell me just now?” You asked the woman with a scrutinizing look, but you already had a guess of her answer in your mind.

“Sir Drake wanted us to show him our hospitality to a noble guest and occupied us for an hour before he went tired,” the maid answered.

“Tch… as I expected, that rascal really treats this as his own home!” You clicked your tongue and sneered, “good job entertaining that rascal, he must be pretty rough with you.”

The maid was blushing red on her face and nodded her head to your statement.

“So, whose is better, me or him?’ You asked.

“Master is better,” The maid answered without any hesitation.

“Good answer, I can’t see any lies in your face, as a reward, you may tell me your name, I will call you later if I’m free,” You said. You never bothered to remember the name of **** like her, her status was far below you, and she was completely replaceable with new slaves anytime.

“This ****'s name is Luna Cumrag, Master.” In the empire, if you were enslaved, you will be deprived of your real name, and given a new demeaning name by the **** trader to fit their new identity, the name, of course, could be changed by their new owner, but some people including you, either didn’t bother to do it or found it funny and decided to stick with it.

“Cumrag, the name suit you, well, you can go back to your post now, I will send the other to call you later.” You got several slaves that acted as your maid and housekeeper in your mansion whether they were sent by your family or you bought them yourselves in the **** market.

You left the study and went to the guest room when your guest had waiting for you.

“Do my slaves entertain you well, Drake?” you said toward the man who was still receiving a blowjob from one of the maids.

“Oh yes…yes, your slaves’ sexual skill was top-notch! Better than what I got at home,” Drake paused for a few seconds, apparently cumming his load inside your **** mouth, “Damn, this one sucks cock pretty good!”

“Ahem…” You faked a cough, and Drake knew that now was the time to talk about business, stopped, and pushed the maid's head back.

“Sorry,” He smiled awkwardly.

“Pull your pants up before talking to me,” you commanded, you then signaled the maid to go out of the room, leaving only the two of you alone.

“So, what are your business in my humble abode, Drake?“ You and Drake had been childhood friends, Drake was your roommate in the Guildhouse, and your relationship with him was pretty good. His full name was Drake Lucilius, similar with you, Drake was a noble-born Magus. So, you don’t hold any contempt for him aside from seeing him as a lustful leecher who can’t keep his pants intact for long

”It’s a lie if I said I just want to visit my old friend’s mansion when I visit this city for a vacation after spending much time holed in the Guild,” he said, his face then turned serious, “Well, I am a bringer of bad news and good news for you, which one you wanted to hear first?”

“Bad news first.”

“The bad news, you need your vacation cut short, I’m here to bring you back to the Guild. Something happened, and the Guildmaster wanted everyone to come back as soon as possible.”

“Okay, that isn't that bad, my business in my family is already finished, and I’m ready to go back to the Guild after I’m packing my stuff, so, what the good news?”

“The good news is this one,” Drake fetched out a bottle of potion from his pocket.

“Is that what I think?” You asked.

Drake nodded, “Yes, it is the potion you asked for, it is quite hard to get it on my hand, didn’t expect that potion such this was considered rare, the seller warn me that it can lead you to have problems with the government, and you don’t want to make those pain-in-the-ass sticks on your back.”

“Thanks for the heads up, but these kin-fucking royal family can’t stop me, I had prepared for trouble when I asked you to get this stuff, as long as you didn’t open your mouth, nobody will know that I have this in my possession.”

“You can count on me, I will keep my mouth shut about that, anyway, my job here is done, I will come back tomorrow to fetch you, and we will go together to the station,” said Drake.

“Alright, see you tomorrow.”

You looked at the bottle of potion in your hand. This was vital for your next step of seeking the truth of your ancestry. The potion spell trouble if you used it incorrectly, so you need a guinea pig first. Luckily, you had several slaves in your mansion, you even promised one of these slaves to call her later to give her a ‘reward’, but on another hand, the content of the potion was very valuable, thus you couldn’t waste it. You only had one chance to spend the potion on your guinea pig.

Anyway, what kind of potion that you asked Drake to get for you?

A. Potion of Domination

B. Potion of Transformation

C. Potion of Astral Possession.
