Wrath Of Justice

C2: The Holy Tattoo

The Zenon Commandery was the place that Rai Kazz was currently living in. It was one of the thousands of commanderies in the Eastern Region of Orgeyon's Continent.

Commanderies were known as counties in the First Central Empire. Each commandery needed to pay tribute and tax to the First Central Empire every year.

The sovereign who ruled the commandery was called “Commandery Prince”.

The status of Rai Kazz in this reborn life was as the ninth son of Zenon Commandery Prince.

As Rai Kazz laid on the ice-cold, hard wooden bed, he could not stop thinking about Ceremony of Worship to be held tomorrow.

“The owner of this body hadn’t yet acquired the Holy Tattoo’ by the age of 16, as if gods had abandoned him. What should I do to get a greater chance of obtaining the ‘Holy Tattoo’?” 

It was believed that if one wanted to acquire the “Holy Tattoo” and become a warrior in Orgeyon's Continent, approval of the gods would be needed at the Ceremony of Worship.

This practice was known as passing on Martial Arts for posterity.

During the Ceremony of Worship, there would be a bridge linking heaven and earth with the Field of Spirits in Orgeyon’s Continent. It served as a means for the Spirits to enjoy the oblation prepared by the sincere citizens of Zenon. Once the Spirits had finished, they decided which humans were talented enough to obtain the “Holy Tattoo”. In this way, they helped the selected humans cultivate the essence of Martial Arts.

Generally, the more talent that a human possessed, the earlier they could obtain “Holy Tattoo”.

In Rai’s previous life, he had obtained “Holy Tattoo” when he was still an unborn child in his mother’s womb. He was a so-called born to be Genius of Martial Arts.

Unfortunately, he had not yet had the chance to obtain “Holy Tattoo” by the age of 16 in this life. In terms of the age of cultivation, the older the person was, the less chance that they would obtain “Holy Tattoo”, so to speak. Basically, he was classified as being abandoned by gods. Even though he would attend the ceremony, he was unlikely to acquire “Holy Tattoo”.

Rai could not sleep, the thought of how to obtain “Holy Tattoo” spun around his head. Instead, he sat up in bed and started playing with the white, nut-shaped spinel in his hand. It was sharp at both ends and transparent in the middle without any impurities.

Rai was curious about the white spinel. He started studying it, as if it could help him get any one of gods’ approval so he could obtain “Holy Tattoo”.

The White Spinel had meant a lot to Rai in his previous life. It was his 16th birthday present given to him by Emperor Matti for celebrating his transition from childhood to adulthood.

Even though Rai did not know what the White Spinel exactly was, he carried it with him all the time. He never expected that it would still be with him after 1000 years.

“I have arisen from 1000 years ago to 1000 years in the future. Perhaps that has something to do with the White Spinel.” Rai wondered.

He closed his eyes and squeezed White Spinel firmly. The image of his father, Emperor Matti, gradually appeared in his mind. He speculated on whether or not his father was still alive after 1000 years.

The snow fell heavily this evening in Zenon City.

The next morning, the entirety of Zenon City was covered by layers of snow. The buildings, a vermilion place, and the surrounding pavilion were also blanketed with frozen coats.
