"Your sins weigh upon your soul"

______________________________________________

Adrastos was baffled by what his uncle said

Contract with a God? Chosen one? This doesn't make sense to him but as long as he can know the reason why he have different eye color.

He was hugged by his grandfather, he can clearly see the relief and joy his grandad felt

"Zǔfù?"

" My grandson you really are an amazing child!" His grandfather exclaimed while his grandmother, Mengmei just stood there beside his grandfather smiling widely and look so proud

" This is nice but can i know the reason why i am being praised?" Adrastos asked looking at them really curiously which his grandmother gesture them to sit down as her grandmother pour a tea in their cups

"The Zixuan archon, Lord Lixieng once lived among us mortals before, he was the one who personally ruled our empire. He is a great ruler always looking out for his people's sake, however, there is also people who disagree with his ways so they began to rebel until a war started and the rebel manage to kill a lot of people and the survivors were manipulated into thingking that our archon is a bad Ruler." His grandfather explained while Adrastos still look confused making his grandfather laugh and proceed to explain.

" Our ancestor Leixue stayed there beside the Lord Lixieng and protected him unfortunately he was killed but before he could have his last breath Lord Lixieng created a one sided contract that he will blessed one of Leixue's family member an unusual mana that can only determine when his eyes does not have the same color but in exchange, The chosen Chen will be his successor to the throne and ascend as in the throne of Zixuan as their next Archon" To say that Adrastos malfunctioned when his grandfather said that was an understatement

"Ascend as the next ruler and an Archon?" He couldn't respond properly with this new found information

He did not sign up for this!

" We have waited for centuries to see who would be our next little archon, That is also the reason why the Zixuan Empire does have a temporary officials to handle the empire until we find the next successor." His uncle added

"But i am already a crown prince"

"Then leave that rotten palace and stay at my palace instead, my child" A sudden voice interrupted, a tall figure with e height of 208 cm was in front of them as the Chen family kneeled except for Adrastos

"Your Majesty, Great Archon Lixieng!"

This dude is the Archon?! Adrastos was surprised

" My child i will gladly welcome you. I will gladly dote on you. I will give anything just to fill the void in your heart." He declared, Adrastos was shocked to the core

"Why me?" was all Adrastos could utter

"Why not? The moment you existed i have chosen you, you have the qualification. The only reason why your eye just changed when you were 13 years old was by your mana overblot that is able to break the spell i have cast on it."

"Then you are very well aware of the 'other me'? Did you do it?" by now the Chen family was clueless by this conversation but they decided to excuse themselves sensing that the conversation seems important

" I have no involvement in that Adrastos i am sure that the 'other self' you are talking about explained it already. Anything can happen. It is not part of the contract Adrastos, your other self was made by yourself alone." Lixieng said to Adrastos

"My son, you are already the chosen one, whether you rule Zixuan or your father's empire, Obelia does not matter but you are destined to be the next Archon" He exclaimed walking closer

"Even when you still dwell on the other universe you are destined to be here, this world is your real home. Erix Apollyon "
