Chapter 2 - PIET

Memories surged in Vincy's head, too many and too vivid to say the least. He can see a young boy being born- in a luxurious life. The parents were dressed in noble clothes, probably they were even members of the royal family. The man was rather domineering and the wife was cheerful to say the least.

The scene changed and the toddler was learning to speak and move. Surprisingly, his first words were "Pit, Pit" and the parents decided to name him "Piet". Times changed and he finally began to walk , though a a toddler could never become a perfectionist in the art of walking and falls were rather a common sight.

Being the royal that he was, he began training in martial arts at a rather young age and well, a prodigy he was, so talented and adroit in the arts. He began learning cultivation and his interest bemusingly lay in the path of magic. Though this was a disappointment to his parents, they couldn't bring themselves to show it to him.

They had their reasons, magic was a forbidden art, not because it was evil or anything but just that that path was to only be taken by sons and daughters of the king. It was a symbol of power in its own right and practising it was like a sort of rebellion to the royal family and death was the only resolution.

Luckily, he was a son of the king just that he was not a direct descendant and hence they decided to keep it a secret from the world. Piet reached unfathomable heights in the art, far exceeding the geniuses of the royal family.

But his journey could not be smooth forever, the direct descendants found out and used it as an avenue to overthrow the king for failing to obey the regulations left behind by their ancestors. The battle was disastrous and a lot was lost. Unsurprisingly, Piet won the battle but it came at a cost, one so big for him to bear....his parents were killed!

The trauma was too much for him to bear and in a bid to retribute himself, he gave himself an indefinite banishment from the kingdom. He traversed worlds and even went on to assail the abyss gates only to find himself in the mortal world.

On his arrival, he met a quite funny lad and he came up with a crazy idea- to transfer all his years of martial arts, cultivation and magic to the youth. His plan was successful- not, as his soul was forcefully merged with Vincy's, thereby creating an oblivial phenomena, two souls in one body. What this entailed, no one would know for a pretty long time!
