Synopsis
Before becoming a mage, Chris Castile thought he was just an ordinary third prince. In terms of succession, the throne of the Nocian Empire will fall to the eldest brother Yevgeny. In terms of ability, the title of "iron-blooded wrist" that everyone praises belongs to his second brother Demeter. He is just a very non-existent, disgusted, and even predicted "spreader of disaster"; no matter what the outcome, it seems that he will never occupy too much space in the history of Nocia - the third son of the emperor. Of course, the premise is that if magic does not exist in this world. After being secretly taught magic knowledge by his childhood friend Enric, he discovered that their world was far from as simple as he thought. War, epidemic... Disasters come quietly with evil watching. The resurrected old god once again visited this land as dusk approached for the reborn god, and the sins of the past were torn apart into bloody corners. On the eternal tower, the silver-haired and blue-eyed First Generation looked down at him. They called him "the turning point", "the incarnation of the evil eye", "the last Shibpuri of the last days", "the successor of the Lord of the Tower"... They predicted that at dusk after the seventh level of doomsday, he would eventually wear a crown of thorns and become the last beacon of light for all living beings on earth. A beacon, a new emperor, a tyrant, or a "god"... Chris thought, he didn't care. He is just a mediocre, non-existent third prince of Nosia. Even more than facing those sacrifices, he would rather be the mediocre, non-existent third son of Nosia forever. The creatures on earth may not need those tyrannical and capricious gods so much. All they need is three full meals a day and a good sleep. And so does he. ＊ Old version copy: Far above the North Sea, in the islands beyond the borders of Nocia, there is a group of exiles who believe in the evil god Coralon. Wrapped in robes, they walked in the wilderness like people in the mist. Praising his Lord's name, "The Beginning of Order, the Supreme Savior", on the title page of his Lord's holy book, he wrote the ancient foreshadowing with nameless blood. All the blasphemous and transgressive words were written down, and the oracle of his master's madness was fulfilled. "If God doesn't save the world, the gods will die." *Before reading (disclaimer): 1. Unpleasant writing, unpopular, poorly conceived, poorly written, imperfect protagonist, slow to warm up and maybe not hot at all. Please read this statement carefully to prevent your time, energy and even money from being wasted on an unworthy work. 2. Use an imaginary world view. Please do not substitute the concepts in the article, including but not limited to geography, folk customs, climate, calendar, etc., Into reality. The god system mainly refers to Egyptian mythology, Nordic mythology, Greek mythology and Cthulhu mythology. The first three have a lower proportion and the Cthulhu system has a higher proportion, but they are very unorthodox. The whole article is made up, Schrödinger's logic. 3. It is expected to be a long article and firmly refuses to cut the outline. The author's free chapter will be visible. Please see the article announcement for details. 5. Western fantasy background but non-traditional translation accent. Considering that the diction habits of translated versions of European novels actually depend on the translator's diction habits to a certain extent (refer to the differences in language styles between the Luo version and the Zhang version of The Red and the Black), the author believes that there is no problem in occasionally using some traditional Chinese grammar and non-allusive Chinese idioms when writing fictional Western novels. If you mind this, please proceed with caution. 6. I wish everyone here a smooth life, health and safety. Happy entering the pit or happy abandoning the article, thank you for meeting me. May ■■■■ bless you. 7. In the early stage, the author occasionally used single-person paraphrases to replace the customs and professions of the times, simply because the original phrase itself was easily detected and entered high-level review, to prevent sensitive reviewers from causing trouble. It is estimated that this method will not be used in new articles in the future. We will not accept the wording modification guidance and character gender ratio comparison criticism. I added the argumentative paragraph because the author has a slight literary problem and has no other intention. 8. There is no fourth point in this statement. If you see point 4, please turn off all electronic products immediately and try to enter a deep sleep without responding to "it". [The copy was updated on 2024.9.8] [Pre-reading instructions updated on 2024.8.24] Purpose: It is better to seek God than to seek yourself.
Ilya ah ah,,, look back at the full text Ilya is really a witness and companion throughout the whole process. From Famu Town to Candelil and then back to the road, he has been there all the time.
Finished spreading flowers! I felt like there was a sense of peace at the end that everything had settled down. Although there were regrets, there was a hint of happiness. Sweet dreams Chris. Teacher, I want to watch the if line extra of the happy life of the Queen, Chris and Demeter [Hands on] [Hands on] [Hands on] When I was reading the article, I couldn't help but think, it would be great if Chris didn't bear such a heavy fate. He is just the third prince of Nosia. He has his brother to inherit the great business. Chris can do whatever he wants as an idle prince.
To be honest, Chris's true form now gives me a feeling of divinity, but his clone seems more human at this stage.
The updates during this period gave me a faint sense of erraticity, giving me the illusion that I could accept everything. But when Chris returns to Candelier and says goodbye to Reines, Michelle and others, I will still imagine the scene of them getting along happily, but the story is coming to an end.
Fortunately, you haven't forgotten [crying] [crying] [crying]

Oops, from the perspective of the eldest prince, Chris is really like a compassionate god.
Although he is not allowed, it feels like Liam has been running wildly on the road of fanaticism for a long time. Why ()
There's another person that Xiaoke has known for a long time [cracked]
Finished spreading flowers! It was really touching and great to see Elijah and Michelle go together to find Chris in the end.
After reading it, I felt very melancholy at the same time. I felt like I was watching a friend go to the end. The teacher wrote it so well. I was really touched.
Okay, this is my first time visiting small and medium-sized businesses. [Starry Eyes] I will appreciate Chris's beauty up close. [Hands together]
It's over! [Come on] I want to see how Chris and the others get along on a daily basis, the quarrels between friends, etc. It's so interesting.
The writing is super good, the world view is invincible and complete, and it creates a very real alien continent. It's so real, so I felt so melancholy after reading it ꒦ິ^꒦ິ There are spoilers below! ! ! When watching 99% of the time, I felt that the ending would be stable and reassuring (?). At the end, I had more and more bad premonitions, and I was worried that Chris would lose consciousness. Fortunately, the worst thoughts did not really happen (.◜ω◝.). After reading it, I suddenly realized that there are many twists and turns in the whole text, so many unexpected things, ah! Is this why I didn't skip a chapter? ? The unexpected and reasonable reversal is probably the reason why I didn't discover it (it's so well written (T^T))! When reading the book, I kept following Chris' perspective and listened to his thoughts. My views on various people and events also changed with Chris's views. Unknowingly, my views on some people and things were very different from the beginning. I really saw Chris's growth from all aspects. Growth is really painful (╥_╥). If Chris was a square before, he became round later. Maybe the people I saw who sacrificed their lives for their people died in a grand manner/with a lot of ink/and will be remembered for eternity? , I feel that people's praise of those who sacrificed themselves after death is also a kind of comfort. Now I see that so many people have worked hard to save the world, but they have died in obscurity, which is sad (p_q). I thought a little bitterly, "You don't know what someone has done for you to live well!!" ╰_╯ (Whisper) I didn't notice before that although people who felt sorry for dying before were all he (apparently?) Happy. But I really want Chris to be involved. It's really sad to see that none of my friends "remember" Chris╥╥ When I saw the ending, I realized that Chris had only experienced a few short years. Suddenly, I felt that time passed so slowly and Chris grew up so fast. Chris is so young, he has to bear this heavy burden, and he won't be able to have a happy reunion with his brother and friends in the future. The bystander's perspective is over, and I feel slightly melancholy after reading the ending. Looking back at the whole article, I feel deeply that hate lasts longer than love, and pain is more profound than perfection. Sad again I like Ilya, I hope the author can consider writing a spin-off about Chris and Ilya＞𐋣＜
Delicious extra... Oooooooo little Chris. I didn't see the lottery for answering questions, why is JJ like this?
Teacher, the new picture of Chris you put in the character bar, his face is blocked by the ⭐ mark in the upper left corner. I can't stop crying when I can't see the full picture.

Well? I didn't vote just now. Speaking of which, the author actually didn't mention Crystal at the end. In the early stage, because her name was so similar to Chris's, I was still wondering if there might be any connection.
No motivation to code? Get a bottle of nutrient solution! No inspiration for writing? Get a bottle of nutrient solution! Nutrient solution - my deepest love for the author~
