The place Chen Heng was in was quite dark, and after looking around, he closed his eyes as he began to process this body's memories.

Ed Doyle was the sole successor of the Doyle family, and he was the only descendant of this fallen family.

​​

The Doyle family was a Sorcerer family.

Seeing this, Chen Heng's heart leapt.

"Is this the power of Points?" Chen Heng thought to himself.

In the past two simulations, no matter how hard he worked, he could not encounter any Sorcerers.

Even after establishing the Nardo Kingdom and becoming a Great Knight, he had only found a Sorcerer historical remnant at the end of his life.

However, things were completely different this time.

Right at the start, he had come into contact with Sorcerers, and he himself was from a Sorcerer family.

What's more, he was the sole successor.

It seemed that this opening was incredibly good.

This was the benefit of spending Points on his identity.

In the previous two times in the Sorcerer World, Chen Heng had always entered directly and had not expended too many Points.

However, this time, Chen Heng had used nearly 1,000 Points; it was only natural that his circumstances would be quite different.

However, this was quite good.

To be able to start from a Sorcerer family, this meant that Chen Heng could directly come into contact with the core of this world and quickly gain the power of Sorcerers.

Thinking to there, he could not help but laugh.

At that moment, some footsteps sounded out from outside.

A female servant wearing a black dress walked in and bowed to Chen Heng.

She said with a respectful tone as she looked at Chen Heng, "Young master… Mister Griffin is calling for you."

"I understand," Chen Heng said as he looked at her and coldly nodded as his identity always had without saying anything else.

This identity was usually quite cold and did not seem too passionate about anything.

Chen Heng was not quite used to this, but given that he had only just come here, he could not act too differently. As such, he chose to walk out with a cold expression.

Following the female servant, he came outside.

He was in a vast castle, but it was quite dark and gloomy. It also looked like it was in disrepair and gave off a somber feeling.

This feeling made it seem as if there were ghosts everywhere, staring at him. Sensing this, Chen Heng inwardly frowned.

This body had lived here since it was young, and he had long since become used to this.

It was just that Chen Heng felt that this was quite strange.

How could ordinary people enjoy living in such a place?

Did the Doyle family have some psychological issues?

Even if they did not have psychological problems, anyone living here would develop psychological problems sooner or later.

From this, it did not seem surprising that this identity was usually incredibly cold and gloomy.

Soon, he followed the female attendant to a large hall.

There were candles burning in the surroundings in this hall.

Because there were no windows here, it seemed quite dark, and the candles were the only source of light.

Chen Heng walked to the center of the hall.

A cold and eerie feeling appeared and surrounded Chen Heng's body.

In the dark area, it was as if there was a big, formless hand that grabbed at Chen Heng.

In response, Chen Heng's expression was cold as he casually looked over.

A wave of formless mental energy spread out, dissipating that thing.

"Ahhh!!"

The sound of a woman's cry sounded out, filled with dense terror.

"Not bad," a voice sounded out from ahead.

As the voice sounded out, rays of light shined out and illuminated the surroundings.

Under the light, a figure appeared before Chen Heng.

It was an elderly person who was dressed in a tattered black robe.

He looked quite old, at least 70 or 80 years old, and his eyes were quite murky. His white hair was quite sparse over his head, and he looked the same as any other old man.

Seeing this person, Chen Heng inwardly frowned.

He could feel a strange and unique power from this elder that continuously spread out.

The moment he looked at this elder, through his powerful mental energy, Chen Heng could sense a terrifyingly cold feeling.

It was as if there were countless people howling about their pain and deaths.

This feeling was not very comfortable.

If he stayed by this elder's side for a long time and was affected by his aura, he would most likely be affected by it and become gloomy and cold.

This person was Chen Heng's identity's grandfather, Griffin Doyle.

In the current Doyle family, Griffin was the only Sorcerer.

As the future successor of the Doyle family, Chen Heng was nurtured by Griffin from a young age.

"Your mental energy has grown by a lot…"

Griffin said as he sat on a wooden chair, seeming quite pleased, "Your current self can easily dispel those small tricks."

"Perhaps it's because we haven't met in a while," Chen Heng maintained his cold expression as he said calmly.

"Perhaps."

Griffin smiled, but on his wrinkled face, it looked quite terrifying, "However, this is good. The next round of tests is about to start…

"Ed, for your mental energy to grow at a time like this, this will benefit you in the future," he said with a smile, but his expression still looked quite cold and gloomy.

"What kind of benefits?" Chen Heng asked.

Griffin nodded and said, "Treatment. No matter when it is, the treatment between ordinary people and geniuses is always incredibly different, and this is the same for Sorcerers.

"Before entering the Academy, your mental energy and talent are the best ways of displaying your strength."

Speaking to there, Griffin paused before continuing, "Ed, your talent is indisputable, and as our family's successor, your talent is not any inferior to mine.

"Upon this foundation, as long as you have powerful mental energy, you will have hope of becoming a Third Rank Apprentice or even becoming an official Sorcerer."

Speaking about official Sorcerers, there was a trace of longing in his eyes.

"I understand."

Chen Heng's expression remained calm, looking as if he could not be affected by anything.

"The people who will come here to recruit students are from the Hunter's House," Griffin continued, "This was the Academy that I came from, and there are some people who I know from there.

"Some of those people are still at the academy, and I've asked them to look after you after you get on the ship.

"As for the fees, don't worry, I will take care of them for you."

Finally, Griffin said, "Remember, always stay rational and do not let emotions affect your mind. Logic and rationality are our most powerful tools," he said coldly as he looked at Chen Heng.

Standing in front of him, Chen Heng remained silent before nodding, "I understand."

Although he looked just as cold and nonchalant, seeing him like this, Griffin felt quite pleased.

Following this, Griffin said many more things to him, telling him much about Sorcerers.

After a while, Chen Heng left and walked to the door of the hall.

Crying could be faintly heard from the side.

Chen Heng paused and looked in that direction, and he saw a baby lying there and crying.

The baby's cries were very weak, and it looked like it did not have much strength.

Chen Heng looked over there and could see some blood on the baby.

"What is that?" Chen Heng expressionlessly asked the servant by his side.

"That is an experimental subject of Mr Griffin's; it was just dug out from its mother and is still fresh."

The grey-robed servant was quite respectful as she looked at Chen Heng and said, "There are some more in the storage; if the young master would like some, I can send some over."

"No need," Chen Heng said coldly, "I don't need to do these kinds of experiments for now.'

With his current mental energy, he could sense waves of eeriness and gloominess in the distance.

There were many traces, as if countless people had been howling here in pain.

Countless people had died in this place in the past.

When they died, their minds and souls in agony stained this place, causing it to become quite eerie.

Looking at the region ahead, it was as if Chen Heng could see countless corpses.

Sensing this, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head, but his expression remained calm as he left.

Behind him, within the hall, Griffin watched as Chen Heng left, his murky eyes not containing any light.

Only after Chen Heng left did he close his eyes.

After leaving the hall, Chen Heng walked about.

Not only did this castle seem abnormal, but it also contained many abnormal things.

There were fragmented bones all over the ground and dried blood on the walls and floors.

There were many places from which howls could continuously be heard, as if replaying the terrifying scenes.

It would be bad for ordinary people, but for Chen Heng, with his powerful mental energy, it was as if he was in hell.

There were such devastating traces all over the castle.

It was if just by closing his eyes, he could sense all of those scenes.

Those bloody and cruel scenes caused even Chen Heng to inwardly frown and feel quite disgusted.

In the past, he had indeed killed people to achieve his goals, and he had killed many people before.

However, despite this, he would not see killing people like it was as normal as eating or drinking.

Killing animals was quite horrible to ordinary people, let alone killing other humans.

However, in this place, it seemed to be the norm.

Chen Heng knew this clearly, given this body's memories.

His identity's grandfather was researching negative emotions, and in order to produce negative emotions in people, he used all kinds of methods.

Making people feel terror, pain, and despair as they died was the most basic way.

There were even more methods that were much more horrifying.

Having a simple death here would be a luxury.

As such, it was inevitable that Griffin's mind became twisted as his personality became colder and gloomier.

In turn, his bottom line became lower and lower.

Growing up in such an environment, Chen Heng's original identity became incredibly cold and emotionless; he did not care about anyone apart from Griffin and himself.

"It's truly disgusting…"

Thinking back to the memories in his mind, Chen Heng could not help but inwardly frown.

Soon, he returned to his room and spent a great deal of effort to quell his emotions as he began to plan.

Being born in the Doyle family, his grandfather Griffin had organized everything for him.

His original identity had been detected to have Sorcerer talent from when he was young, so he was left with Griffin to be nurtured.

Soon, a Sorcerer group would come here to take in students.

Griffin's original plan was to use his connections to have Chen Heng join the academy he had gone to before.

That way, using his connections and information, Chen Heng's future would be more smooth.

Chen Heng did not plan to disturb these arrangements; from how he saw it, these arrangements were quite good.

If he wanted to go far as a Sorcerer, just having talent was not enough; he needed a legacy as well as resources.

Those things were quite difficult to obtain by himself, but in a Sorcerer organization, he could obtain such things at a low cost.

Moreover, Griffin said that he would take care of the school fees.

With such an advantage, it would be a waste if he did not take advantage of it.

As such, Chen Heng planned to go along with Griffin's arrangements.

However, he needed to prepare for the future as well.

Chen Heng stretched out his hand and tested his strength.

As expected, his body felt completely empty; his great strength was now completely gone.

Apart from having powerful mental energy, his body was the same as an ordinary young man.

This was undoubtedly quite dangerous.

As such, before entering the Sorcerer academy, Chen Heng prepared to properly train his body and recover some of his strength.

Apart from Sorcerer talent, this body of his also had Knight talent.

Chen Heng had purchased this Knight talent with Points as a backup plan. He could use the Knights Breathing Technique to quickly recover some of his strength.

Chen Heng closed his eyes and examined his body.

As his mental energy spread about his body, a violet mark flashed.

"As expected."

Sensing the Fortune Mark's response, Chen Heng smiled.

It was as he expected—after being converted by the simulator, the Fortune Mark had become bound to him.

No matter which world he went to, the Fortune Mark would go with him; this was a piece of good news.

Standing there and sensing the existence of the Fortune Mark, Chen Heng opened his eyes and looked around.
