Chapter 1: Obsession
"When we try to deconstruct the complicated history, peel back the layers of fog that hide the truth of history, and find the original motivation of historical development, we sometimes find that a great historical era can actually originate from the petty obsession of a young man with a delusional temperament.

Before the age of seventeen, I was just a happy ordinary teenager, living a rich and carefree life, with a childhood girlfriend, a group of childhood playmates who had nothing to do but have fun, and had a well-deserved "reputation" such as "loser" and "gentleman", and I firmly believe that my life will be spent in this ordinary, if there are no "accidents" in life.
My father, Linkey Beshatu, was the lord of the free city of Haines City, and according to the laws of Haines, he also became the ex-officio president of the Haines Chamber of Commerce. Located on the alluvial plain at the confluence of the three major rivers of the Milky Way, the Heavenly River and the Star River in the southern part of the Holy Continent, Haynes City is adjacent to the three major powers of the Southern Continent - the Falatis Empire, the Kingdom of Dotir and the Becca Sheliurista Alliance.
The climate of Haynes City is mild and humid, only spring, summer and autumn three seasons, the city river network is crisscrossed, merchant ships are endless, the post roads leading to the three major powers and a number of neighboring small countries are also full of traffic, the streets and alleys are full of merchants, the market is like a cloud, the crowd is crowded, people from all over the world gather in the various markets, as long as you walk through the street, you can easily see the gods, demons, orcs, dwarves, elves, goblins...... When almost the creatures of all races on the continent gathered together, after the Bailing War, when the various races and humans on the continent were in tension, this kind of scene could only be seen in Haynes City. My father owes a great deal of credit to Haynes' prosperity today. At that time, his father used his genius business skills and political dominance to unite the large and small businesses that Haines had separated, established the Free Trade Chamber of Commerce, and promulgated the Racial Equity Trade Law against public opinion, making Haines from a small town to a free trade capital. His father was not only an excellent city lord and merchant, but also had the honorable title of Great Swordsman, and was the most respected person in Hennes.
With such a capable and famous father, even if our family can't be said to be rich in the world, it is also rich in the world. I knew that my father, who was in his prime, had ambitions for more than just being the lord of Haynes and having wealth. But I wasn't interested in my father's ambitions. Although he is a great big man in the eyes of others, in my heart, he is not a good father. In my father's eyes, I am not a good son, "loser", "incompetent and unscrupulous" are the comments he often hangs on his lips. More often than not, I was just a stranger to my father, even an eyesore. In my memory, my father never gave my loving father the warmth he deserved, but more blame and disdain. If it weren't for the invisible bond of blood, if it weren't for the fact that I was his only son, I am afraid that he would have cast me aside as he did to his mother, and left me to fend for myself, though that is not far from that now. My grandfather, Broodor Dominis, was once the richest merchant in the city of Haynes, and my grandfather fell in love with my father's rising business skills and talents, and my father also took a fancy to the Dominican family's vast wealth. After marriage, the parents failed to cultivate feelings from getting along, and not only did they become strangers, but they also hated each other. As a product of this pure fulfillment of conjugal obligations, I cannot find the fatherly love I receive from my father, nor can I find solace from the mother's maternal love. In the past twenty years, the Falatis's Empire, the Dotyr Republic, and the Becca Shelurista Alliance have each recorded an invasion of Haynes, but they were all forced to withdraw under the pressure of the other two countries, and my grandfather and three uncles were killed by Faradis's soldiers for refusing to pay tribute when the Fratis Empire invaded ten years ago (it is rumored that my father deliberately lured the wolf into the house, taking the opportunity to eliminate my grandfather's family's oppression of me, and I have a deep understanding of my father's extremely utilitarian personality, I deeply believe this statement), The father took over all the property of the Dominnis family, who had lost their male, and became the most powerful and wealthy man in the city of Haynes. Without the Dominican family's elbows, the father's superficial warmth to the mother was hardly maintained, and the mother finally passed away six years ago in the cold reception and depression of the father, leaving behind her son she had never seen in front of her eyes without any attachment. I think there is one thing in common in the personality of parents, which is the same coldness, even to their loved ones.
Maybe it's because I'm cold by nature, maybe it's because of the indifferent environment I'm in, I don't have too much sentimentality about my situation, and I never take any way to try to get my father's love, if I can work hard to cultivate my business talent according to my father's requirements, or become a swordsman, magician, knight and other powerful people, so as to become my father's arm in his career, I will get more attention from my father, but I never wanted to do this, I don't want others to design my own life, even if it is my father's expectations, And I am not dissatisfied with my own life, my father's indifference and indifference also means freedom, I like to live freely, unfettered, and I can take wealth and squander it freely, and my mother left me enough money to spend my life in luxury. According to the law of Haynes, I am still the only legal heir of my father, before my father has no other sons, and I am also the only legal heir of my grandfather's huge family property, but before the age of eighteen, my grandfather's family property must be "supervised" by my father, so my father's profligacy of my is also blind to my extravagance, after all, in my father's opinion, my indulgence in squandering a relatively large family wealth is just a drop in the bucket, and if you want to lose, you must have the ability to be commensurate with the loser, in his eyes, The mediocre me doesn't have this ability.
In fact, I also have my own pursuit, I have a strong interest in art, music and other arts, good at oil painting, work in the seven-stringed piano technique, ceramics, sculpture, plate painting, clothing and other fields are also involved, I pride myself on the beauty of things have a genius perception, in my idle life, there is a job is to collect all kinds of art, my collection is quite rich, including the most prestigious contemporary art master Gafan's works, dwarven wood sculptures, elven illusion prints, seven-color crystal carvings, gold ornaments of the gods, Statue of the Demon Race...... There are even works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Russell, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh in the primeval era, and I love to read, but I don't read business, magic, martial arts, etc., but astronomy, geography, history, literature and other side books, and even ancient books such as physics, chemistry, and biology left over from the primeval era. In the eyes of others, these are the best evidence that I am not doing my job. Of course, my father was even more disdainful of my child-like pursuits and hobbies, but what my father didn't expect was that a few years later, I would integrate aesthetics into magic and swordsmanship, creating the most peculiar, powerful, and dazzling aesthetic magic and beautiful sword skills in the world, and swept the three worlds of gods, humans, and demons with my father's disdainful talents, reigning on the Shenglun Continent, subverting all the order and norms in the world, and creating a great Shenglun era. I, the aestheticist magician Alexander St. Karen Dominis, will be a great being that even the gods will fear and worship.
At this moment, I have not yet encountered the opportunity to change my fate, but with Haynes as the fulcrum, the fragile balance of the three great powers is about to be broken, and the gears of fate have silently accelerated towards the established trajectory...... But none of this matters to me at the moment, and until I was seventeen, I only knew how to enjoy life to the fullest, squander my youth, and live a luxurious and carefree life.
