I Became the Genius Bastard of a Noble Dark Clan – 2

Chapter 2

Episode 2

‘What should I do from now on?’

After his return, Chris was troubled.

The goal has been set.

To rise to the top of the Magic Empire and achieve both wealth and honor while saving the world.

How to make it happen?

‘I have to get this dark magic into my hands first.’

Fortunately, the Dark Maga, the family he was inhabiting, was one of the twelve prestigious families that supported the Magic Empire like a pillar.

If you put that dark magic under your feet, you will get much closer to your goal.

‘The problem is that I am not the direct descendant, but a collateral bloodline.’

The name of the body he inhabits is ‘Christian Van Baren Kajar’.

Coincidentally, it was a similar name to his original name, Chris.

What matters is the middle name.

‘Van’ meaning collateral line.

That is, he was the son of the ‘Count Khazar’ family, a collateral bloodline of the ‘Baron Duke’ family of the Dark Maga.

‘But it doesn’t matter. The Magic Empire recognizes the right of succession even to collateral bloodlines.’

This means that even if you are from a collateral bloodline, it is possible to obtain the main family.

Of course, there are conditions attached to this.

-If you have the ability.

To put it more bluntly:

-If you are so overwhelmingly superior that you can trample on the red bloodline.

That is, he had to demonstrate overwhelming abilities compared to his numerous direct competitors.

One thing that is fortunate is that the Magic Empire is a thoroughly strong nation.

Those guys are crazy about power.

Because that was mine.

You just have to become stronger.

‘First of all, I need to get rid of the rottenness.’

With that in mind, I went to see my father.

Count Khazar.

He was the lord of the Count Khazar family, a collateral bloodline of the Dark Maga.

“What’s going on?”

His father, Count Khazar, greeted him.

I felt an eerie magic.

‘A high-ranking mine of the 6th level.’

Even in his previous life, he was a strong man that was not commonly seen.

My father’s eyes were filled with contempt.

It was natural.

‘I’m a loser.’

To be exact, the owner of this body he was inhabiting was Gaemangnani.

It was a sigh, but it was something I had to overcome.

“How long has it been since you caused an accident, and you shamelessly show up here? Didn’t I tell you to reflect on yourself? Or did you cause another accident because you couldn’t stand it anymore?”

“…That’s not it.”

“Then? If you’re going to talk nonsense, then get out. I feel like cutting off your head right now.”

Father, Count Khazar, seemed unwilling to speak with his son any further.

He spoke hurriedly.

“I have come to apologize for the mistakes I have made so far.”

“…what?”

“I’m sorry for my mistakes. I really am.”

Chris said, bowing his head.

Count Kazar froze for a moment.

Then he got angry like fire.

“You, you’re saying that now! You caused such a terrible accident not long ago, and now, you’re apologizing? Are you mocking me now?”

A fierce and chilling force came rushing in.

It was an expected reaction.

Chris continued calmly.

“I understand you don’t believe me. As you know, I have lost part of my memory.”

After inhabiting this body, he claims to have lost some of his memories.

“So I was able to think objectively about my past mistakes and deeply reflect on them.”

“…….”

“I’ll say it again. I’m sorry.”

Count Kazar shut his mouth tightly and glared at Chris fiercely.

Of course, he didn’t seem to believe it at all.

There was only distrust and anger.

It was natural.

Christ didn’t hope to win his father’s heart with one apology.

This apology had another purpose.

It was the base meal.

“Just saying I was wrong would be meaningless. I will reflect on the mistakes I have made. Please send me to the punishment cell.”

“!!”

“The period is one month. I will reflect on my past mistakes for one month and then leave.”

Count Khazar’s face showed a different reaction for the first time.

“Do you know what kind of place the punishment cell is?”

“yes.”

Chris knew a lot about the world of mines.

Because there was a mine among the warriors.

That’s right, ‘The Dark Chatterbox’.

As chatty as her nickname suggests, she chattered endlessly about the world of mines that no one asked about.

‘There was also talk about the punishment cell.’

It is a place where high-ranking people are punished for committing crimes, where not a single ray of light enters and the five senses are blocked.

It’s a place where you come out mentally exhausted even after just a few days.

‘This is the place I need most right now. I need a place where I can be alone for a while, away from other people’s eyes.’

Count Kazar made a mocking expression.

“You’re going to be in the punishment cell for a month? You won’t last even half a day.”

“I know it’s a tough place, but I think we have to persevere.”

“I have to hold on?”

“Yes, I think that’s the extent of the change that needs to happen.”

“!!”

Chris looked straight into Count Kazar’s eyes.

“I won’t live like this anymore. I will change.”

“…….”

Did he sense something different about his son’s spirit than before?

Count Khazar kept his mouth shut.

“You’re going to change, aren’t you?”

“Yes, definitely.”

But Count Kazar just laughed in vain.

“Do you know how many times you’ve told me that? You always say the same thing after I’ve made a huge mistake. You say you’ll change. You ask me to watch over you. I can remember more than ten times. And you’ve only disappointed me every time.”

“…….”

“Anyway, fine. I’ll open the family’s punishment cell. No matter how much you beg inside, the door won’t open until a month has passed. If you can’t stand it, then you’d better die inside.”

You might as well die.

Although it was a grim story for a father to tell his son, Count Kazar’s reaction was quite ‘gentle’ considering that this was the empire of the Mines.

“All right.”

“And there’s one more thing.”

Count Kazar glared at Chris with sharp eyes.

“This is the last time I will turn a blind eye to your reckless behavior. If you do not change as I say, I will excommunicate you from my family.”

stir.

That means death.

There are more than a few people gnashing their teeth at him for committing all sorts of heinous crimes.

The moment the protection of his family disappears, he will be torn to pieces and killed.

“Okay, but if I change like I promised, please grant me one favor.”

“ask?”

Count Kazar made a face of absurdity.

Then he spoke fiercely.

“Okay, fine. If you change, I’ll grant you any request. But remember, if you disappoint me again, I won’t excommunicate you, but throw you alive into the lion’s den.”

Count Kazar spat out coldly.

With that conversation with his father over, Chris prepared to enter the punishment cell.

The family’s servants whispered to Chris out of earshot.

“I heard that guy is going to the punishment cell?”

“What are you trying to do now?”

“Well, the accident I had recently was so serious that I guess I’m just trying to avoid the Count’s wrath for a while?”

“Yes, you insulted the daughter of the Maga clan. And you are of the direct lineage.”

Extremely poisonous.

Like Dark Maga, he was one of the twelve pillars that supported the Magic Empire.

Even if it is a waste of time, how can you insult the legitimate daughter of a place like that?

Even if I were crazy, I would never do something this crazy.

“They say that the Count personally apologized to the poisonous Maga to cover up that scoundrel’s mistake.”

“Ha, the Count is really uncivilized. If he were my son, I would have cut off an arm or a leg long ago.”

“I heard that the high-ranking officials of the main family were extremely angry because of what that bastard Mangjong did this time. He lost face to his rival, the Maga of Geukdok.”

“So, that bastard is probably going to try to get into the punishment cell after seeing what’s going on. Of course, even if he goes, he won’t be able to last long.”

The employees pursed their lips.

“How long do you think it will last?”

“Two days at most?”

“I see you for a day.”

“I have half a day.”

The family made a bet on how long Chris would last in the punishment cell.

The longest one took two days.

Most people expected Chris to be crying and begging for his life within half a day, or even a few hours.

Regardless of what other people were saying, Chris steadily prepared to enter the punishment cell.

‘Okay. Ready.’

He looked at the luggage he had prepared with admiration.

‘It’s good to be from a prestigious family. It’s so easy to get magic stones. And they come in different types.’

Just by talking, the people below brought exactly what was needed.

It was something I could never have imagined in my previous life.

‘Isn’t this magic stone really rare? I had a really hard time with the warrior to get this.’

Chris stuck out his tongue and got up from his seat.

I headed straight to the punishment cell.

The ‘Death Knight’ summoned by necromancy was guarding the entrance to the punishment cell.

‘Using a Death Knight as a guard. That’s truly worthy of the Magic Empire. You can’t move this around as you please, can you?’

Chris looked at the Death Knight with a puzzled look.

Fortunately, the Death Knight was motionless.

As he was about to enter the punishment cell with peace of mind, an unexpected voice stopped him.

“older brother.”

When he turned his gaze, a boy who looked exactly like him was looking at him.

It was a familiar face.

Chris called his opponent’s name.

“Tern.”

Teren Van Baren Kajar.

As the name suggests, he was his younger brother.

Unlike him who was a spoiled brat, he was a good, model student.

and.

‘This is the guy who will play a decisive role in the death of this body in two years.’

The ‘Dark Chatterbox’, who was a fellow mine worker, told me all sorts of stories that had happened in mine society, including one about the body he was currently in, Christian.

He told me what a bastard Christian was and how he met a miserable end, and at the center of it all was Tern right before his eyes.

“What’s going on?”

It was a future event, but I didn’t feel comfortable saying it because I thought it would kill the body I was in.

‘It seems like we don’t get along well anyway.’

Even now, it’s obvious that he came here to pick a fight.

“Judging from your expression, I don’t think you came here because you were worried about me.”

Tern wiggled his eyebrows.

“…Of course, that’s not why I came.”

Tern answered coldly and walked away.

The distance between them has become closer.

As the distance narrowed, a tense feeling of cutting flesh grew.

“I came to warn you.”

“!!”

Tern’s red eyes looked at Chris with contempt.

“I’m sure you know that you are a disgrace to the family. I don’t know what tricks you are planning to pull next.”

Pfft!

The eerie blade came down on Chris’s neck.

“If you ever bring shame on our family’s reputation again, I swear I will kill you.”

“…….”

Chris rolled his eyes.

The skin that touched the blade prickled, and blood flowed out.

‘It hurts, damn it.’

Chris swallowed the curse.

I was more annoyed than scared.

‘I’ve been through so much, why would I be scared by a threat like this?’

Chris, who experienced all kinds of things and achieved many things during the Age of Destruction.

Of course, I had no way of feeling threatened by such threats.

“Clean it up.”

“…what?”

“I told you to clean it up.”
