Is there romance in this story? Theres no tag

I'd like to answer this question but it will ruin you're reading. But if you don't mind spoilers and having to wait for a few years for the story to catch up, just read the first version. But be warned, this sorry has the worst cliffhanger I've ever experienced in my years of reading.

I wouldn't say worst.

In 228 we saw the story continuing and things were moving forward with Opion and The Association working together.

Can you imagine if it happened at 206?

the only romance in here is BROMANCE lmao

The only romance i see is shicmuon being the possessive boyfriend he is

Shic's parents love story is tragically beautiful.

I would have cursed the author's publishers to this day

Frr

I know right!? I really loved their beginning, end and everything in between! I loved that he gave everything for her, even his name to their child! I liked that, for the first time ever, she went against the towers wishes for her child! I liked that Lanost took sometime to get himself together after she died and went to get his son after! (Though it did mean that shic had no parents as a child).

What I didn't get that well was which country he was working from... The story is centered only in this country, so the country of origin of Lanost (and every other country) is a bit of an enigma. We don't know if the monster gates also happen there or not. And things like that...

He gave his powers to Shic. He can no longer Awaken because he gave it to his son.

It took him a few years to heal and get back to his son.

As for where he came from? Probably one of the other nations that he created a legend in, but the series ended before we could get to that.

It seems as if the Empire is where magic began with the contracts to Awaken. And The Tower provided special protection to the Empire through those evil means.

But that the rest of the world might have other means. Magic stones control powers too.

And we know Dio comes from a completely different dimension than the humans and demons.

So who knows how far this story could encompass from Helios, The Tower, the Imperial City, to the Empire, to the demon world, the continent, the world, other dimensions...

Where can i read the first version?

It's on here.

The first 1-228 chapters are the first version.

Then last year the new version 1-72 started. It's nearly exactly the same as the first version.

Yeah, at the end, the author introduced the monarch from another land who happens to be a 1st class magician too. They were probably going to expand the story beyond the Empire. But the Empire is probably the strongest since it all began there.

But it seems that the contract mainly has to do with Awakening?

Because they kids still got magic. Magic stones still work. Monsters still exist.

So maybe this is a specific type of magic? And other nations have other methods?

Only those that received a name from awakening seems to have lost their powers, except Lidersis because of the source of his powers.
Perhaps, everyone still have their magic, but it feels the adult lost theirs because upon awakening they sign a contract to receive their names. Since the contract is broken, they lost the power of their name and thus their magic. That's my theory.

Also, we never received a clear answer as to who of the two Kings actually formed a contract with the princess. So, considering the fate of one, perhaps it was a long time coming since he's gone now.

Thank you (=・ω・=)

I wonder if creating a contract with a Name is a shortcut process?

And the adults can Awaken again, but need to find new ways?

Like that it seemed that chapter 228 was hinting at towards the end. That it's not gone, they just need to find a new way to access it?

True, I wonder if he will be up to a new contract after what happened to his brother?

Besides, the remains of the previous King got scattered across the land, so I think that it is still sustaining them but not as much as before. Perhaps, losing the contract was just a delayed aftereffect. It doesn't make sense that the adults lost their magic just because he returned to his dimension.

But then again, we don't know how the contract got signed and its terms.

They didn't lose magic, they can do things with magic stones and spells.

They just can't do it as Awakened which allowed them to do magic without the magic stones and spells.
