Chronicles of Forgotten Extra-Chapter 91: Become My Disciple?
Jeremy was seated on a chair in his office.
He already knew that a virtual combat test was ongoing for the first year.
How could he not know?
He was the one who had ordered the test.
Why?
Because of Nyx.
She had ordered him to arrange a test and, if he could, possibly match her against Amyra.
Jeremy didn’t know what was going on in the mind of Nyx.
He wanted to kill her.
Only if it wasn’t for the restrictions would he have killed Nyx as soon as she entered this world.
Jeremy was never meant to be free.
Jeremy was actually from a subordinate family that served.
The Clan.
Their family only had one job.
To send their members to different underdeveloped worlds.
Sending someone from outside to an underdeveloped world was not possible.
But The Clan knew of a way.
Still the cost of it was too high.
He couldn’t understand what was the motive behind doing so.
He only knew that his family had carried them out for generations.
Their only job was to provide support in case any direct clan descendants were to arrive on that world.
Most of them never even saw the direct descendants of the clan. They lived and died without purpose.
Jeremy had thought he would also be able to enjoy his life in this small world where even he had become a powerhouse with his meagre strength.
As soon as Nyx appeared, his illusion of freedom was shattered, and all of his plans were vanquished.
Just like that.
But there was still a chance for him.
This world, Eryndor, was different.
Although the world was underdeveloped, Jeremy had found something wrong about it.
When he was researching, he found a strange ruin locked in a part of this world.
The ruin was too advanced to be part of this world, and when he entered it.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
He found something.
That changed his life.
He found a forbidden technique, and it was not just any normal one either but a technique that transcended this world.
It was something that could help him grow powerful and perhaps one day even be free from the restriction put on him by the Clan.
The technique was called the Devouring Spectre Technique.
It worked very simply.
It had two effects.
The first one increases his strength the more he devours souls of his own blood and flesh.
And the second effect helped him possess someone else’s body permanently. Provided that their soul was weaker and their emotions unstable at the time of possession.
It looked strong, but it had downsides as well. And he could only use the technique once in every thousand years.
So he tried to find a perfect vessel for him to possess.
But none…
This world didn’t have a perfect vessel with potential higher than Primordial.
So he waited.
He even tried to establish a family in hopes of birthing some talented individual.
But he was disappointed.
His children didn’t have much potential.
So he slaughtered them all and devoured their souls, and that was the reason for his strength being in Overlord Rank.
His original potential was meagre, being only at Ascendent Rank.
But after devouring the souls of all his family, his strength spiked to Overlord Rank.
He wanted to keep doing that, but unfortunately, that effect of the technique couldn’t be used continuously and needed centuries to be recharged.
So he turned to the academy.
It was the perfect hunting ground.
The only reason he became the principal of this academy was to find the perfect vessel.
He had seen many students graduate, but he never found anyone worth noting.
But this year it was different.
Suddenly many talents appeared.
Princess Amyra.
Lucien Celestrian.
Zephyr Draegon.
And many more, but he found those three the most worthy.
But now a new name was added to the list.
Alden Draven.
He didn’t really notice Alden in the entrance test.
He had performed well but not so well to be noticed by him.
He had thought of him as another worthless person.
But when he saw the combat test today, he changed his mind.
He had initially gone to see the battle between Nyx and Amyra, which he had arranged himself.
The battle went unexpectedly, but it was still within his calculations. He had already seen Amyra’s capabilities and talent.
What shocked him most was Alden’s battle. He had expected Lucien to win before the battle even started.
But something was strange, that kid Alden defied his expectations.
How did he grow so strong in such a short time?
He hadn’t expected Alden to grow so strong.
But that meant he had a high potential.
So he added Alden as a candidate for being his vessel as well.
Before he could possess anyone, he needed to prepare a lot of things.
The technique required sacrifice.
Not just one.
Not a hundred.
Thousands.
His technique required a grand ritual, and that would take time.
He wanted to make it perfect.
So he wasn’t going to rush it.
He was going to win the trust of all the candidates first and then decide who he was going to choose.
As for breaking their emotions…
It was simple… He just had to kill someone close to them, and they would break down on their own.
There was one more thing he had to do.
He had to somehow eliminate her, who held his leash.
Nyx.
As long as she was here, he couldn’t do anything.
But he wasn’t going to rush any of it.
He had already waited many years, and now that so many perfect vessels were in front of him, why would he rush?
He was going to do it slowly but perfectly.
His face had a devious smirk.
He was excited with just the thought of having a talented and powerful body.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, someone knocked on the door to his office.
He already knew without even seeing who it was…
"Come in." He spoke in a calm voice.
A black-haired boy entered, his crimson eyes were filled with cautiousness.

"So Alden, how would you like to become my disciple, huh?"
