"Apologies for interrupting you in the middle of your narration." Feeling that An''xhur had skipped quite a few hoops in his story, Valyr decided to ask the man if he could go over every part in detail. "It''s just that I feel like you''ve missed out quite an important detail in your story. Would it be possible for you to go into more detail regarding your birth before the appearance of the other child you mentioned?"


    "Ah, my apologies." Though a slight frown appeared on An''xhur''s face after Valyr interrupted him, once he had finished listening to thetter''s statement, the half-orc went ahead and recounted his narration of his life so far, causing him to realize that he had indeed skipped what seemed to be quite an important detail.


    "I didn''t want to bore you with details regarding my upbringing, so I decided to skip it," said An''xhur a couple secondster, to which Valyr responded that there was no need for him to skip over the details, informing him that it would be better if he went into great detail to get a better idea of what he had to do.


    With that, An''xhur nodded in response to Valyr''s words before retracing his narration to before he had mentioned the other child that would be the cause of the situation he and Valyr were currently in. "Going back a bit, ever since I was born, I was considered a prodigy. I could engage in basicmunication by the time I was only two months old, only for it to improve to being able to engage in lengthy conversations by the time I was three months old."


    "Due to how I was blessed with great strength and talent, I was also quick in picking up the fighting style of the orcs, as well as the magic of humans, allowing me to wield both of them to a considerable degree by the time I was two years old," An''xhur continued.


    "At that point, many people that were close to my parents considered me as someone who would grow up to be a fine prince, if not the potential heir to the throne my father upied." At these words, An''xhur shed a couple of images in the sphere that pertained to his youth, giving Valyr more insight to how monstrously talented the half-orc was in his early years.


    "Of course, even though my intellect at that time had improved to be able to hold conversations with many people, all I aimed at the time was to make my parents happy. Thus, if they wanted me to grow up as someone who would take over father''s ce as emperor, then I would do so if it meant seeing the smiles on my parents'' faces."


    "Then again, an unstable element to achieving that dream appeared by the time I was three years old." Uttering these words, An''xhur adopted a grim expression as a faint hint of rage could be felt from the aura he emanated. "While I was furthering my proficiency in the magic arts, my father came to where I was training, holding a young baby with a smile."


    "Curious, I asked him if the baby was my sibling," said An''xhur before letting out a faint sigh soon after. "In response, my father told me that he was my half-sibling. In other words, my mother and his mother were different."


    "As I was still a young child, I did not really understand what father meant by him being my half-sibling. If anything, I was just d at the time that there would be someone else who would apany me in my goal of being the one to inherit the throne."


    "For the first five or so years, him and I were considered inseparable." Saying these words, An''xhur showed Valyr a set of images through the sphere that showed two young orcs, with one being considerably taller than the other. With a hint of disgust briefly shing through his expression, the half-orc continued.


    "He would always apany me whenever I tried in the fighting style of orcs, or whenever I was learning the magic arts, telling me from time to time that he would grow up to be someone like me someday."


    "However, by the time I had reached the age of adolescence, the close rtionship we''ve formed throughout the years gradually began to disappear."


    "Out of nowhere, he started to apany me less and less, first giving me excuses as to why he couldn''te, though he eventually began to just say that he couldn''te with me." Recalling the memories he had mentioned whilst he was in the midst of narrating, An''xhur could not stop himself from letting out a sigh as he bitterly smiled.


    "As I considered him my brother-in-arms, it definitely hurt me a lot to see him distance himself from me, especially when I have no idea why he began to do so in the first ce."


    "Nevertheless, I remained steadfast in achieving the goal I have given myself, improving my foundation of knowledge whilst strengthening mybat and magic prowess as well."


    "By the time I was around 16, I had found a way to utilize the magic arts that would make it inherently unique to the orcs."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "By the time I was 23, I had expanded upon the method of utilization I discovered and created an entirely new system of magic even normal orcs could pick up, which caused the entire empire to celebrate the achievement for over a month."


    "By the time I was 36, I was finished improving the new magic system to an eptable level. With that, I focused my sights on the fighting styles the orcs generally used inbat, wanting to achieve something simr to what I had done for magic."


    "By the time I was 38, I had optimized and improved upon the general fighting styles of the orcs, allowing those who had learned of it to fight against more foes inbatpared to those who hadn''t. It was also at that time I had finally be an Epic, utilizing all of my life experience at that point to form my Intent."


    "By the time I was 47, I had distilled the essences of the fighting styles and used it to create a brand new fighting style that minimize the disadvantages of the fighting styles that came before it while maximizing the advantages at the same time." Going through the things he had done in his life, the smile that adorned An''xhur''s face grew wider and wider as the images on the sphere changed ordingly.


    "Unfortunately, unlike the new magic system I had built to bepatible with all orcs, the fighting style I created was only suitable for me to use, with only the elite of the elite amongst the orcs being able to show a fraction of the fighting style I had made after I taught them."


    "Thankfully, even that small fraction they could show was far greater than the might shown by the conventional fighting styles, allowing the orc race to upy a far greater territory due to the might we now showed."


    "By the time I had approached myte fifties, I had already reached the peak of Rank 5, at that point being known as the one who would naturally inherit the throne my father continued to upy." At those words, An''xhur showed Valyr a set of images of the half-orc interacting with the masses, all of them having an expression of awe and admiration whenever they looked at An''xhur.


    "About a year or two after I had reached the peak of Rank 5, my understanding of the Intent had finally reached a qualitative breakthrough, transforming into a Force and thus making me a Legend."


    "It was at that point that I put a great amount of effort to improving the magic system I had made in the past, as well as the fighting style I had created. With how much I now knewpared to before, I found a ton of ws in both the magic system and the fighting style, which I would have not noticed back then if not for the greater understanding my Force had given me."


    "Within a few years after I began my undertaking, the effectiveness and the strength of the magic system had improved multiple times, only being pushed further with the establishment of an organization solely dedicated to improving it even further." Feeling great pride at what he had done, An''xhur beamed a grin.


    "At that point, even the Meltierre Empire had be envious of the magic system we had, asking our empire if a few of their people could pick up the magic arts we had created. Of course, we epted, seeing as how the rtionship between our empires were considerably close."


    "As for the fighting style I made, I took it upon myself to improve it where anyone among the orcs would be able to pick it up. Though it had taken almost a decade to do so, I was sessful, with my fighting style basically bing the standard fighting style of the orcs due to its flexibility and power."


    "Around that time, I was already in my seventies," said An''xhur, looking at Valyr to see if he was still listening. Seeing as thetter was still attentive, the half-orc faintly nodded before continuing. "Though I could still improve upon the two things I had given to the orc race and possibly create more things in the meantime, I''ve decided to focus on myself for a bit and achieve something only a select few within the orc race had done."


    "Transcend mortality and be a Myth." At these words, An''xhur''s eyes glistened like the stars, only for it to swiftly disappear as a wry smile appeared on his face soon after.


    "Coincidentally, it was at that time that my half-sibling decided to make amends."
