The girl Kern should be the first wizard in the world to embark on the path of studying the rules of the soul.

At the same time, she is probably the most talented and intelligent of the wizards who have embarked on this path. In the two thousand years since she began, no one seemed to have been able to go further on this path.

From the time she first came into contact with the Bewitching Tablet, until the moment she started from scratch, used herself as a test subject to study and master the rune of the "Rules of Pride", she was only nineteen years old when she returned to Greece after a few years.

It was when she returned to her birthplace of Athens to rest for a while, and through some of the great disasters of the time, she roughly determined her next destination, and set off again on her way to meet Helpo, who was two years older than her, on a country road leading to a small town near the city of Athens.

However, at that time, Kern was already a powerful witch who had mastered the second-level rule branch, but Helbo was still just an ordinary person who had almost no connection with magic and only knew how to do some farm work with his own strength.

One night, Kern, who had hurried through the path in order to hurry, saw Helpo, who had frozen and fainted on the side of the road because of the cold.

Of course, although there was no conflict between wizards and Muggles in that era, the gap in ability, talent, and status made the ancient wizards of high status less serious than modern wizards.

Although because the ancient wizards were often inextricably linked with the empire and the lords and nobles at that time, they usually looked at the face of their friends, and they would not and usually disdained to embarrass the commoners. But if there is any need, or simply a sudden interest, one or two worthless human lives are just used, and naturally no one cares too much about using them.

At that time, the witch Kern, who had just mastered "arrogance", suddenly wanted to try her harvest when she passed Helbo who fainted on the side of the road.

As a result, a psychic magic derived from the rules of the soul casually fell on the unconscious Helbo's body.

Obviously, Kern didn't actually intend to kill Helmpo, she just wanted to test her new ideas at will.

But who knows, when Helbo suddenly woke up in the shock of his heart and realized what was probably happening, the first thing he said when he opened his mouth was a request:

"Witches, I-"

"What's wrong?"

“…… I beg you...... Take me as your apprentice. ”

At that time, Helmo happened to see the wizard choose children in his hometown town, and gave birth to a heart for the path of magic. He saved up for more than half a year to go to Athens to pursue his "ideals".

Or more precisely, he intended to change his humble life by becoming a wizard, and gain the opportunity to become a human being and a lot of wealth - at that time, he didn't understand what it meant to be a wizard!

But it must be said that luckily he met Kern at the time.

Although the witch Kern, like most wizards of that era, did not take ordinary people like Helmo seriously, she was just as young at that time, and she was far less difficult to talk to later.

At Helbo's insistent plea, Kern offered to use him for experiments on human magic, promising to give him a chance to become a wizard if he was still alive.

Then, the next morning, she left without any intention of taking Helbo's life, leaving behind a staff she had made and a rune she had tried to make.

At that time, the witch Kern obviously didn't take Helbo to heart at all, and even the runes left for Helbo were directly the product of her recent research on the rules of the soul, and she didn't think about how an ordinary person who didn't even have basic magical knowledge could understand how to use it.

It's just that, probably even she didn't expect that the erroneous "gluttony" rune that she deduced from the arrogance rune would lead Helbo to this path of no return that she was groping for herself under a series of coincidences.

Of course, Kern and Helmpo can be said to be typical representatives of fate - when the two meet again, Kern has become the goddess of death that everyone fears, and Helmpo can be regarded as a small achievement.

But everything has long been different.

After the two separated, the young witch Kern set out on a journey to find the remaining six Calamity items containing the rules of the soul.

The Dagger of Pain, the Mirror of Devouring, the Blood of Confusion, and the Sword of Recklessness conceal the three sources of evil, jealousy, gluttony, lust, and anger, respectively.

How so? Perhaps I would like to praise Kern again. As a wizard, her talent and intelligence are truly astonishing.

For more than ten years, she was stunned to rely on her own strength to master the five major soul rule branches she had found, and in terms of strength and reputation, she was infinitely close to Andros, the strongest male witch in ancient Greece in the last years who was known as "invincible" at that time.

It's a pity that Kern's fame ...... is negative.

Accommodating the five branches with one person's soul, even the extraordinarily gifted Kern could not suppress the ever-expanding sinful desires.

At that time, Kern was only in his thirties, and he was at the most glorious age of a witch's life, but he suddenly went crazy, his delicate face became hideous, and his pure heart became distorted.

Due to the large number of souls required for further research, she personally destroyed a dynasty in ancient Egypt at the time, causing a great upheaval in Europe.

And because of this, the world trembled in fear, and finally gave her the name that accompanied her for the rest of her life - the goddess of death Kern.

At that time, there were not many wizards who could be called "gods" by ordinary people, which shows how much panic Kern caused at the time.

So, at the call of one of the ancient Greek emperors, who sensed the threat at the time, a magical war against Kern began.

This protracted war lasted for many years, and lasted until even Helbo finally stepped onto the stage of the times.

But to be honest, in that war, Helbo, who was still not outstanding, was just one of the many wizarding men and women who were caught up in the flames of war. Even if the magic war that grew bigger and bigger suddenly ended in Kern's mysterious disappearance, he never met his first "teacher" directly.
