The Seven Deadly Child
Prologues

Author's note: Hello readers.

This novel is a world that has long lived in the brain of the author. The world that will always be the author of imagining and living when near sleep, as well as being a cure for insomnia.

The world, according to the author, is too dear if it must be eroded away because it begins to full the memory of the author's brain for the interests of the stomach.

This novel is the author's first child. The first child born from the accumulation of piles of imagination in childhood, adolescence, to adulthood.

This novel is a form of the author's love for the side of children that is in the author's soul. The author wants to keep it there, keeping a colorful world within the writer. Because lately, writers began to feel that the world of writers feels there is only black and white. The world of adult society is getting boring.

With this novel the author wants to dive into and explore the forgotten memory of another world that the author has been talking about, ever imagined. The author wants to develop the world again, keeping the color of the world for the author.

The novel is the imaginary side of the first half of the author's life. The time when the author often read or see books, novels, or films and works from various parties that can not be called here all one by one.

The author wants to thank from the bottom of the author's heart deeply, because the works of the seniors have all accompanied and shaped the character of the author to this day. This work, the author's first child, the author presents and appreciates them fully.

And finally, the author also thanked Abudinata friends who had been willing to make this novel cover. All the requests of the author are well caught in the form of the cover image.

From the authors, happy reading and adventure together.

-Prolog

Theodoric Alknight, the third young master of the House of Alknight. One of the best houses in Glaire Empire.

Today, as usual, he is in the family study room. It has become an obligation for every young master in the famous house to learn and get all kinds of basic knowledge about life.

Before him at this moment, a master was explaining to him about the basics of a knight

"Theo, listen carefully and stop yawning!"

"You are the young master and our house's great hope. Today, you're 10 years old and some time ahead, your seed element will appear."

"You will be one of the knights of this generation in our house. Therefore, you must understand the basics of a knight and the importance of a knight in our house. So, stop yawning and playing around! Or I swear I'll put you back in your mother's belly, assume you were never born!!"

The master who was giving the lecture cussed furiously. Because this morning, from the first sitting to the middle of the lecture, Theo had yawned more than 10 times. The Master felt humiliated for thinking his lecture was belittled and boring.

This morning, the weather is cloudy. The morning even looks like it is still evening. This makes most people lazy to start the day.

"Uncle, why are your words so cruel? Put me back in my mom's stomach? That's too cruel! you look out! The atmosphere this morning is really the right atmosphere to sleep all day."

"Why should I get up early and get stuck with your talk? Even today's sun looks lazey and still covered in clouds."

"Isn't it like a god is plotting for today all the creatures of the world to laze around? Don't tell me that you're deliberately trying to go against the will of the gods?"

"That's no good uncle, don't be a despotic creature. Have you never heard a story about.."

*Black.....!!

Loud sounds ringing.

Before Theo finished speaking, a stick hit him on the head. The master before him was glaring, with veins running down his forehead, grinning evilly like a street criminal.

"You and your slippery mouth! You say my mouth is cruel, while you yourself dare to curse me as a despot who defies the will of the gods. Just because I told you to stop yawning and listen to my explanation seriously"

"Good, good, go on like that! Looks like the last punishment I gave you had no deterrent effect. Maybe I should double up after this? And how many times have I told you, when in this study room, you can't call me uncle! I am your master!"

Theo's back immediately felt cold. The last time he was punished, it was that he had to increase his study hours.

For a whole week he should be in the study room and get more lectures. The only difference from learning is to eat.

It was hell, because he couldn't get a day off, not being able to get a day off meant that he couldn't get up and laze around until noon.

Waking up in the morning is hell! Imagining a double sentence meant he had to get up early every day in two whole weeks. Just one word to explain this punishment, inhuman! Hell is real in the world.

'No one can separate me from my paradise! waking up during the day is the paradise of the world!' thought Theo.

Getting a stimulant from the words of his uncle who is also his master in his condition in this room, Theo immediately put on a serious face. As serious as he could possibly make.

"Pamaa.ahhh I mean Master, unfilial disciple, apologize for the mistake your disciple has made! please continue the lecture, the student will listen with all his body soul!"

The corner of the master's eyes twitched, for some reason he even felt annoyed by the sudden change in attitude.

The master really understands how the mind of the student and nephew who are in front of him is. He never thought how there are people who are so worshiped waking up during the day.

Nevertheless, he cut through the matter and swallowed all his grievances, he wanted to finish his lecture immediately. Facing this nephew of his for too long would make him quickly die from high blood.

"Ehem, the House of Alknight famously always produced high-rise knights. Knight itself is a term for a person who is able to process natural energy called mana."

"The man who is able to cultivate mana will be able to utilize the elements of nature and make those elements a part of him."

The master then swung his hand, a perfectly round-shaped water ball appearing at the tip of his index finger facing upwards.

"This is an example of water mana control, because I am a knight with a water-type Element seed."

Theo nodded, still with a serious look. He wanted to show that he was listening.

"Mana itself is divided into 6 types, namely the type of water, wind, fire, land, and two rare types, namely where darkness and light. One can only wear mana when he has Element seed."

"Element seed itself is born, and is usually inherited from blood or offspring. In this case, our family, the House of Alknight, has a bloodline between the two seed elements, which is between the seed element of water or wind."

"Till here do you understand?"

Theo nodded, trying not to yawn. The master then continued.

"Humans born with Element seeds include few, the comparison is only 2/10 of the human population. So, you could say a human born with Element seed is a superior human."

"Those with Element seeds would be known as knight candidates. However, among these superior humans, there is a class still higher."

"Normally every knight candidate is born with one Element seed. But sometimes there are born with more than one Element seed, better known as dual Element seed."

"Those who have dual Element seeds are superior talents, because they will get the ability to control the three elements."

"Emm master, dual Element seed? shouldn't it be two-element control? why three elements?"

Theo who from earlier put on a serious face and obediently listened, now really asked seriously.

"Good question! you are a living creature! I thought I was talking in front of a rock."

The master put on a face as if he was surprised while playing his wand.

'Patience Theo! be patient! can't be upset! don't slip your tongue! remember the holidays! remember waking up until noon! can't be upset! can't be upset!'

Theo muttered inwardly, calming his mind and mouth that was about to curse.

"When one has a dual element seed, these two elements will be able to give rise to new elements when processed simultaneously."

"Dual element fire-wind will produce lightning element, dual element fire-ground will produce iron element, dual element air-wind will produce ice element, and dual element water-ground will produce mud element."

"So, by having a dual element seed, it is actually the same as having control over the three elements of nature, and those with a dual element seed would be considered a step talent, since it rarely appears"

Theo nodded, still trying to put on a serious face. But he began to miss his bedroom.

The master explained unreservedly. Putting emphasis in several important sentences, it is clear that he is an expert in this field of lectures. After taking a breath, he continued.

"Knight is divided into three types, namely Soul knight, Meridian knight, and True Knight. Each type has its own weaknesses and advantages."

"The soul knight is the knight who unites the crystal beast into his soul, this will have an effect on the waves of mana around the knight's body soaring and entering his body."

"The body of the knight will be coated in mana which forms like Spirit beasts whose crystals they absorb. This type of knight, had incredible control over mana control. However, they were vulnerable to physical attacks."

"Look at this!"

The master then closed his eyes, he looked concentrated. After which, the aura around the study room suddenly changed. Grain of water began to appear around him, then began to enter and merge into his body.

The merged grains make the master's body change. His body was like being enveloped by water which was the shape of a deer-type beast with two large horns.

"This is my Knight form, I am a Soul Knight who absorbs crystals from the spirit beast of the giant horned Deer."

"In this form, I can have a control technique where I attack and defend against a giant horned deer."

Theo's eyes widened, this was the first time he had seen firsthand the process of a Knight's change of form, just a single word in his mind at this moment.that was, "cool!"

Seeing Theo's expression, the master began to look at him with a new look. He finally managed to arouse the interest of this student. He nodded in satisfaction, then asked.

"Did you have any questions up here?"

Theo nodded a few times excitedly then asked.

"So master, in the forest around here I've heard from the villagers there is a bear-shaped spirit beast."

"This "Spirit Beast has an incredible ability, the villagers call it hibernation. This hibernation ability allowed the Spirit Beast to sleep all year round! so if I…"

Kwajk....! blottkk...! blakek....!

A loud voice rang again, this time not just once, but three times!

Theo's head was hit with a stick three times by his master. The master could not understand how there were people who only thought about sleeping in his life.

'What extraordinary ability? what hibernation? so you're saying you want to be a knight so you can have a full year's sleep?' muttered the master annoyed.

He almost vomited blood, there had not been a minute he felt a little satisfied to his disciple.

'Are you really my nephew?' The corners of the master's eyes started twitching again.

"Oahhh master! stopit! are you trying to kill me?" Theo held his head rubbing it slowly.

"Stop your bullshit! didn't I tell you to stop playing around? trying to kill you what? You know, one of my Knight's abilities is healing. I can beat you to death, then heal you, only to come back to beat you to death!"

The corners of the master's eyes were still twitching, with veins protruding between his forehead, indicating he was angry. However, strangely he also grinned, grimacing like a street criminal.

"My uncle's a psychopath!" Theo muttered softly while sweating coldly

"What did you just say?" Master still grinned very creepy.

"Mom..not any master! I didn't say anything, please continue the lecture!" Theo answered her lips while staring at the classroom ceiling, sweating more.

"Hmmm!" The master snorted then started to explain again

"So, that was the Soul Knight. Other than the Soul Knight, there is a Meridian Knight."

"Meridian knight melted the crystal beast into his meridians. Making a knight of this type, when activating his knight power, will change the physical body to resemble a beast whose crystal they absorb!"

"They became half-human and half-beast creatures. The Meridian Knight, will gain immense physical strength."

"Their body resistance, speed, and strength would increase drastically. This increase corresponded to the beast crystals they absorbed."

"They excel in physical endurance, but lack in mana control"

The master began to calm down, his tone began to be regular, returning to a figure of lowliness.

"The last one is the True Knight!"

"This type of night did not melt the beast crystals into their bodies. By not fusing the beast crystals, they could contract blood with a beast, and make them a living partner in the fight."

"They can form a blood seal formation and can store the beast in a seal tattoo."

"This will allow them to keep or call their contract beasts whenever they want."

"For how many beasts they could seal, it would depend on the quality as well as the amount of mana they had. The average True Knight could only make one seal. Those who could make more than one seal were considered to be extremely talented."

"This type of night does not have physical endurance or control as good as the other two Knight types, they will usually develop martial art techniques and rely on the strength of their beast partners in battle."

The master explained unhurriedly, still with pleasant emphases to hear. Then continue the lecture to the next material.

"That was a Knight-type explanation. Furthermore, the chirstal beasts that the Conferred Knights had to match their elemental type and power level. If there's any discrepancy, their bodies will explode."

"So, everyone should be careful in choosing a crystal beast to absorb. To the maximum, a Knight could only absorb a crystal beast that was two levels higher than his."

"For example, an E-class Knight could only absorb maximal C-class beast crystals. This you must pay attention, so that in the future you are not blinded by greed and accidentally blow your body."

"It would be a shame that there are members of the House of Alknight whose bodies explode in the process of absorbing the crystal beast"

The master closed his explanation in a down-styled manner, putting both his hands behind his back while looking at Theo.

"Last advisory feels a bit weird, does the master think I'm going to blow up my own body? Do I look like that seidiot?"

Theo was distressed by the master's closing advice and began to complain again

"To be honest I do think so, a human who just wants to laze every day will indirectly have the potential to be an idiot"

Master put on a flat face and a fool.

"Master.you underestimate the pleasure of sleeping until noon on the bed. Try it occasionally for.."

Kkkkk..!!!

"Ohhhhh..!"

"Silent brat! don't try to give me any weird advice! I'm not gonna be someone like you"

The master snorted in annoyance, wanting to immediately close the lecture today.

"Well, that was for today. Now you can go back to your own room and make conclusions about the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of the three types of knights I have described earlier. Give me your conclusion in the lecture meeting tomorrow!"

The master closed the lecture, then walked out of the room. Leaving Theo who had a dissatisfied expression. After listening to various lectures all day, now his sleep rations are still cut off by additional tasks.

"Ahhh.my life and all the routines are boring!" theo muttered.

He broke down his body, and began to fall asleep in the study room.
