I Became The Mafia Boss Inside The Novel

Chapter 46 Origin

On top of a mountain, Elias gazed distantly.

'By now… Rain should've met with Lance Schultz, right?'

Rain Violetstar and Lance Schultz, names that were deeply engraved in his mind. They were two of the main characters of the novel—[Heroes of the New Age].

Back when he was writing the novel, the two of them stuck out like a sore thumb, being two of the most discussed characters in the story.

If he had to describe them, they were akin to opposite sides of a coin, inherently the same in essence but distinctly different at the same time.

Although both of them possessed great talent, Rain was kind and harmless while Lance was the opposite.

However, those insignificant characteristics

weren't what made them popular in the community, it was just icing on the cake.

'To think I will revisit my past in this way…'

Elias thought bitterly with a long sigh.

In truth, there was a reason why he truly never liked [Heroes of The New Age] despite being a large success.

The novel was a reminder of his past. Back when he wrote it, the novel became the sole tool for him to vent out his pent-up emotions and trauma during the worst times of his life.

All of his fears, sadness, insecurity, and anger were poured into writing the novel.

Naturally, the characters were also influenced by his emotions at that time, hence he modeled most of his characters to himself, more accurately to his own flaws and fears.

Rain Violetstar was made from Elias' fear of himself.

When Rain was a child, the village he was living in encountered a monster horde. Faced with countless mutated monsters, the villagers were helpless and could only await death.

However, at that time, Rain awakened his mana. But there was something wrong with his awakening—he lost control and went berserk.

By the time he snapped out of it, he found that only he was left alive, the monsters are slain, and the other villagers were dead, but most importantly…

Rain held the corpses of his parents, bleeding under his arms, while both looked at him in horror and disgust.

A moment later, it struck him—he killed everyone.

"That was what started the fear in his heart. When he uses his own power, he becomes reminded of his sins."

Elias smiled wistfully. Well, it was not like he was different.

Do not forget—Rain Violetstar was modeled after himself after all, similarly, both of their past was not that different.

Remove the monster horde, remove the village and villagers, and leave the main character and his parents while the ending remains the same.

What's left was his origin—Elias Roan.

'A monster who killed his own parents.'

***

Coming down from the mountain slope, Elias found a large pond nearby, overflowing with clean, sparkling water.

Besides the pond, an eye-catching blue-haired man was leaning on the boulder, soothed by cool gusts of wind.

Undisturbed, Hajin relaxed while he spoke.

"Did you find something, Elias?"

"What do you think?"

"I am asking y…"

"The academy is in the center of this island. We're quite a bit far… but I found a good route to get there."

Elias cut him off while taking a seat on the nearby rock. After taking a seat, he gazed at his reflection in the sparkling, calm pond of water.

Faintly, he saw the image of Elias Roan before turning into his current appearance, a white haired man.

Hearing his words, Hajin yawned lazily.

"Should we go then?"

"No rush. We still have seven days. If you're not confident in yourself, you can go now."

"Tsk. Who's not confident? I'll have you know, even if I had a day left, I could finish this exam easily!"

"Oh really?"

"Absolutely! Hmph, you may not have known, but before coming here, I spent a hefty sum of money for information."

Elias furrowed his brows, confused.

"For what?"

Hearing his words, Hajin opened his eyes and wore a smug expression.

"Since you're my cousin, there's no harm in telling you. I bought some information about the examination this year, the hidden routes and shortcuts on this island. So don't hesitate to rely on…."

However, he suddenly stopped his words when he saw Elias' looking at him like he was extremely retarded.

'Huh… did I say something wrong…?'

Slowly, a strange, worrying premonition erupted within him. Hajin felt inklings of sweat pour down on his back.

"..."

Elias was silent for a moment.

"How much did you pay for that?"

"...Does it matter?"

"You got scammed."

Hajin froze while his eyes darkened.

Ignoring his internal demise, Elias continued:

"Do you think the academy is stupid? They have had this entrance examination for years now, and obviously, they have made adjustments to prevent people from cheating. Every year, the academy remodels the island and changes the hidden spots and routes."

"Then I just bought…"

"You're an idiot. That's the only way to describe you."

Elias sighed tiredly.

Hajin was silent for a moment, his eyelids and lips trembling slightly. It was such a hefty amount too… I got scammed…

'I'll kill that bastard!'

Hajin's face darkened.

Unfortunately, he was now away from the two continents. Perhaps that was part of the scammer's plan too, they would scam him and get away scot-free.

It certainly worked, much to Hajin's irritation.

While both of them were silent, the pond suddenly rippled, disturbed by something.

At that moment, a huge ashen white wolf suddenly walked out of the trees, and on its head was a strange sharp horn.

The pointed horn was sparking with lightning, seemingly containing bolts and thunder, making its figure more intimidating.

The white-horned wolf looked at them angrily and grunted with a howl. Through its fury, the horn on its stop crackled of yellow thunder.

"Woooo…!"

At that moment, several white-horned wolves suddenly appeared and surrounded both of them, gazing at them angrily.

However, Elias was calm and unaffected. It was as though there was nothing remotely worrying about them.

But in contrast, Hajin was pissed. Utterly furious.

"Why are these sons of bitches so noisy?!"

Elias reminded calmly.

"I told you earlier, this was a marked territory. We're invading their territory."

"So what?! They can't appreciate guests?"

Hajin snickered, feeling furious. He stood up and took a small stick from his pocket. He pressed it and the stick immediately elongated, turning into a staff.

"Leave this to me. I'm gonna vent a little, Elias."

While saying that, Hajin smiled and clenched the black staff tightly. He took a deep breath, gazing at the white-horned wolves.

Feeling anger course through him, Hajin couldn't help but silently grit his teeth with a widened smile.

At that moment, one of the white-horned wolves took the opportunity and pounced on him at extraordinary speed.

[Lethal One Strike]—!

Hajin immediately swung his staff, blowing the white-horned wolf away like a ragdoll. The wolf flew away, like a homerun disappearing from their sight.

Woosh!

The white-horned wolves widened their eyes and took a step back.

"Lightning horned wolves… tsk. I killed hundreds of you already, too weak to even waste time..!!"

Hajin snickered and shook his head.

"Come at me together!"
