My Soul card is a Reaper

Becoming a mortal, Alan no longer intended to return to the Dragon Academy and graduate.

So, he decided to return home and ask his grandfather for help to invoke a forbidden ritual to create a new soul orb.

Of course, he knows that all he will receive is a lesser grade Arcana spirit. So, even though his life will be over at the Dragon Academy, at the very least, he thought he could lead a stable life from now on.

As for the revenge, Alan's family was only a minor noble family and Azzy has a rank-8 expert as his master. And he couldn't put hopes on the Academy either. So, he forgot about it.

Moreover, he had developed a sense of fear against Azzy.

He boarded a taxi to go to the portal point, instead of Airport.

Sensing that he doesn't have any soul energy, the guards over there warned him about the risks in the world of Arcana, assuming that he wanted to go to a region-1 for sightseeing like others.

It angered Alan but considering his current situation, he swallowed the pride and told him that he understands before teleporting to the Arcana world.

From there, he walked towards the section of Turlen nation's portal points. Soon, he was teleported to his hometown.

Alan stood in front of a big mansion for a while. There are luxurious cars lined up inside the compound.

"Damn, of all the days, there had to be guests." Alan clearly doesn't want to go inside right now.

Who could have expected that he would be found out very quickly …

Just as he tries to leave the place and decide to stay in the hotel, he saw a flying card was about to descend in the mansion but suddenly, changed the direction towards him.

Alan quickly turned around and continued to walk as if he was a commoner on the street. However, a person leaped from the flying card landed before him.

"Hello there, cousin." A robust young adult wearing a very expensive greenish-blue robe greeted him with a mocking tone. "Aren't you going to greet me?"

Alan looked at this paternal cousin coldly, "What are you doing at my house, Abelard."

The robust cousin grabbed Alan's shoulder and replied, "I heard that you turned into a cripple. So, our families gathered to discuss regarding the new heir and wealth distribution."

Alan frowned upon hearing his words. He didn't expect these greedy relatives would be this quick. Not even half a day has passed since his soul orb was destroyed and these paternal relatives already swarmed to his house to talk about seizing the properties.

He knew that his great grandfather will rather marry him off to a girl at a young age to produce the next generation heir than distribute his wealth to his sons and grandsons of the branch family.

So, Alan brushed his cousin's hand aside, "then, good luck." He tried to leave the place.

But, Abelard didn't want to give up such a chance. He once again grabbed Alan's shoulder, this time, very tightly while using soul energy, "it looked like your arrogance didn't wane away even after being reduced to such a state, Cripple."

A huge pressure dawned on Alan.

Soon, the flying card landed nearby and three more joined him.

*Whistle* "Well, well, well… look who it is here… the mighty genius of the Dragon Academy, the Tauris clan's pride, the representative of the Zeles city…" Another mocking tone was heard from behind as Alan is struggling to get free.

"I never thought would come to the home, Cousin Alan." A sweet voice was heard followed by an earlier comment.

"The Dragon Academy must have kicked him out." This time, it was the voice of a mature adult.

Within no time, Alan was surrounded by four people. However, there was no sense of fear in his eyes. He was completely calm despite knowing his current situation.

Compared to the helplessness he faced against Azzy when his soul energy was absorbed and his soul orb was destroyed, he felt this situation was quite laughable.

Grabbing his collar from behind, Alan's eldest cousin spoke, "How I wished to see this day after facing a humiliating defeat. I didn't expect my day would come in just one year."

Alan calmly replied, "I already lost everything, Baldwin. Whether you scold me, beat me up, or kill me, it wouldn't matter to me, anymore."

"See, big brother." Abelard pointed at him in anger. "This cripple's arrogance didn't decrease slightly a bit. We have to teach him a lesson."

"Yes, Baldwin," The teenage girl around Alan's age nodded in agreement. "He beat up my boyfriend in the public and humiliated him. Because of it, I was being isolated in the academy for the past two years."

Just when the other cousin was about to speak up in support, they were interrupted by a deep voice.

"What's going on here?"

It turned to be Alan's maternal uncle who came here to visit the mansion after receiving the news of the relatives swarming at the main family. He didn't expect to find his nephew being bullied.

He then took Alan with him into the house. With every adult bombarded him with the same question and tried to rub salt on his own, Alan was told to go to his room and rest.

The quarrel went on for an hour until the Tauris family's head exploded in rage and made his decision to engage Alan with a girl and their eldest male child, if awaken an Arcana, will become the heir. Until then, Alan's heir status will be removed.

The twist here is that it wasn't some random girl with potential or something.

It was the very girl that earlier supported her cousin on the outside. Naturally, the decision didn't go well with the listeners. Even the girl's face looked like a hot red tomato because of the rage built inside her.

How could she accept such an outcome? First, he was her first cousin. Second, she hates him to the core.

However, the family head is the strongest out here, in the advanced stage of the seven-star realm.

Adrian Tauris left his eldest daughter with only two choices. Either she accepts this outcome or a girl will be chosen from another minor noble family.

Even though marriages of cousins aren't prohibited within the noble families, in this current era of technology, most people even including the Royal families aren't comfortable with it.

So, she hesitated while her daughter looking at her pleading eyes. On one side, there was her greediness for huge wealth, and on another side, there was a moral ground. She fell into a dilemma. Her brothers are also hoping for her to reject the alliance. As for the angry cousins of Alan, a couple of them decided to kill Alan if the marriage alliance proceeded.

With Alan's strength reduced significantly, they were confident in doing it.

However, they didn't know that their target was having a shock of his life in his room as there was standing a hooded figure.

Alan found himself in the empty mindscape where a snap of this stranger's finger suddenly brought his Minotaur back to life, brought his soul energy back to life.

He didn't know what happened or how happened. As soon as he returned to reality, he just prostrated on the ground, feeling thankful to the person standing beside him.

The hooded figure passed his instructions as he did with the earlier two. "Never forget that it was Azrael's mercy that gave you a new life. And change for the better. You are fated to do some incredible things. So, don't waste your life by becoming a scum.

Start your new life by sincerely apologizing to the girl's family. After all, her death is on your head. Most importantly, this meeting never happened. If you speak of this to anyone even including Azrael, your head will be blasted into thousand pieces."

After giving him a fair warning, the hooded figure no longer stayed there to hear Alan's reply and disappeared from there to finish his trip by meeting the most important person, himself.

"Ouch," Alan pinched himself very hard as he couldn't believe all of this happened for real.

With a huge smile on his face, he stormed out of the room only to hear the words of his aunt. "Fine, I'll agree to the marriage between Alan and my daughter."

"Eh?" An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

His great grandfather then handed a jewelry box of Alan's mother to his daughter as per the custom.

"Great-grandpa, what are you doing?" Alan roared in anger. Sleeping soul energy erupted around him.
