Imperial Palace, Harsoth Empire
“Emperor father, you have to rein House of Ravenheart. They are openly breaking the laws of empire by recruiting a massive number of people for their armies.” Said the middle-aged man, to the old man sitting across from him.
There are many people in the room, some sitting on the table, some standing, all loyal to the crown prince.
The old man looked at the middle-aged man, his firstborn, and regret couldn’t help, but flash in his eyes for a moment.
He made a great mistake, that will have far-reaching consequences, but things have moved too far to take the step back. There is no space for regret, only action. It is the only way; he could secure the future of his beloved empire.
“I have summoned the Duke o” the emperor was speaking when he paused with a shock in his eyes before a big smile appeared on his face.
“Father, what happened?” asked the Crown Prince immediately, feeling something had happened and since his father was smiling, meant something very good had happened.
The emperor doesn’t show his emotions. If he does, means it is important.
“A legacy had been born in the empire,” he replied after a moment of silence.
Hearing that, the smile lit up the face of the crown prince and other people. Legacy means emotional essence; the most important material in the world that only legacy could produce.
“Where?” asked the crown prince immediately. Already thinking about the person, who he would send there as the guardian.
The emperor turned and looked at the giant map of his empire and moved his eyes toward the newest region, he conquered, before focusing on the near edge of it.
“Greltheaven,” he replied. Freezing the smile on the Crown Prince's face.

“This will be e” a woman sitting behind a huge desk, reading the file, suddenly stopped as her legacy chimed in a particular rhythm.
Immediately, her eyes went wide.
“Madam Ophelia, are you fine?” asked the man sitting opposite her worriedly.
She didn’t answer for a couple of seconds.
Instead, she focused on sending the contribution to help the other legacy consolidate. It could be small or big, depending on her. She chose the amount that was neither small nor big.
It will help the other legacy consolidate, but not as much as what will come from the Three Titans and Eight Spirits.
“Gandin, prepare; a new competition has appeared,” said the woman and grin, shocking the man.
It took him more than a second to realize the meaning of her words, and his eyes went wide.

“Inform the lord that a new legacy has been born, in Renwell Wasteland,” said Orc-blood man as he opened his eyes.
…
Archmage Tower, Archmage City
“The new legacy had been born in the Renwell Wasteland. I want the information about its host on my desk by morning,” said the old half-elf as he opened his eyes.
The woman holding the staff was shocked, but she bowed.
“As you command, Archmage,” she said and disappeared.
..
Every legacy on the Zenid continent and the world realized a new legacy had been born. They sent their contribution as the duty demanded, but also sent messages and their people to find out more information about the host.

I have gained the legacy, something I had dreamed about, but never thought I would get it.
Desiring a legacy is common among merchants, everyone.
In the whole continent of Zenid, there are not more than a hundred legacies. Many kingdoms don’t have even a single one.
In the empire, there are only six legacies; seven, counting mine.
They are treasures that provide the most valuable thing in the world and that give them power.
I have power.
From now on, nobody would dare to trample on me. Like the bastard did, with it even if I commit the gravest crime; I would be, at most, confined to my legacy.
I have become too valuable for them to do anything for me. Without me, there is no legacy.
Hun!
I turned to the skills and found; that I couldn’t use them. For a moment, I panicked, but soon realized something.
‘The legacy hadn’t fully formed yet.’ The emotions kept coming like a tide. Including the meteors of thick emotions.
The sun had grown to the size of a carriage, and it was still growing.
Suddenly, another meteor appeared, and it was bigger than any meteor till now.
It is as big as a gym ball and blazing with multicolored emotions.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but become shocked. It is not the size had shocked me, but the sheer density of the emotions inside it.
It merged into the sun and the size of the sun began growing rapidly. Within a moment, its size increased by thrice.
It had just stopped growing when I saw seven more of similar size appearing in the sky, all dense with emotions.
When the sun finished absorbing them; it became as big as the house.
More and more meteors kept coming but were all pale in comparison in size and density of emotions.
Not a single one of them could match the eight.
Time passed, and hundreds of meteors came, but soon, their pace began to slow down till they stopped coming.
I thought the sun would be satisfied by the sheer emotions the meteors provided, but no, its appetite, hadn’t been satisfied. It seemed to have increased even further.
It started to not only those emotions radiating from people, but those present on trees and ground.
Time passed by, when suddenly three meteors appeared in the sky. They are as small as tennis balls.
For a moment, I thought about them as common meteors before my eyes widened. When I sensed the emotions inside them, my whole body shook.
Every single one of them contains more emotions than what my sun had absorbed till now. Those emotions are so pure and dense, that they feel solid.
They stayed in the air for a moment before coming to the sun, before crashing into it.
The moment they did, it shook and began expanding madly, while sending wild streams of power to the surrounding things.
The rapid change begins to appear in them. The clusters begin to merge, and many lone charms begin to change their places. Even the twelve-pointed star, begins to change.
I turned to the sun and saw it getting larger than the establishment and still growing and, within a moment, becoming as big as the red fragrance.
Hun!
I thought it would continue to grow, seeing it only absorbed 10%, when something shocking began to happen.
It begins to shrink.
I thought it began to release emotions it couldn’t absorb, but no, instead it started to digest them faster as it shrunk. Making the emotions inside it, denser.
The things around it also begin to get more emotion and they begin to change faster.
The sun got smaller and smaller, till it finally stopped at the size of the carriage. At the same time, I felt the skills unlocking; I knew I could now use them.
However, I am more focused on things in front of me.
‘I had called it sun because it looked like it, but now it seemed like it become sun,’ I thought, looking at the scene in front of me.
The sun, the core of the establishment, is still multicolored, but the emotions inside are hundreds of times denser.
I looked at it before looking at the planets revolving around it. Yes, planets.
They are from the size of ping-pong balls to the gym ball. All of them revolve around the sun, in different orbits.
The clusters have merged and turned into multicolored plants. Many have satellites the size of ping-pong balls.
With a single glance, I could easily tell what they could do, but there was a minority of which seemed too complex.
The twelve-pointed star also turned into the planet. It is the biggest one; the size of a gym ball, three times the size of the second biggest planet. A beautiful green-blue planet, with a silver twelve-pointed star painted on it.
I looked at them, and a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face. I wanted to laugh madly, but I controlled myself.
Soon, my expression turned serious, and I opened my eyes.
The first thing I saw was the establishment covered in a faint, colorful, shining mist of emotions.
It made it look like it was out of a dream.
The mist alone didn’t do that; its elevation to the legacy improved every aspect. From walls of buildings to dirt under my feet to plants around. Everything had improved.
Even those cracks seemed to bring a different charm to it.
They are just faint cracks, even when berin's round exploded, the twelve-pointed star also powered up, increasing the defensive power of it exponentially, saving the building from turning to dust.
Now, even without the power of a twelve-pointed star; it would be very hard for my enemies to crush the building, even with berin rounds.
Speaking of which, I could still see the crystalline smoke and feel the heat on the walls, like barely a minute had passed since the attack, instead of hours, that I felt.
“Th…this,” said Taren, looking at the establishment in utter shock.
Everyone is shocked; there is not a single person who isn’t. They couldn’t believe the thing, that happened; some had even been slapping themselves.
I looked at Taren and others and closed my eyes for several seconds, before opening them.
“Taren Zanav, Javier Ronda, Baspel…and the guards. You all had broken the most sacred rules of the Velvet Garden,”
“You humiliated its employees by your denigrating behavior and caused harm to the property and thus forbidden from it for life,” I declared and felt it clicking with the establishment.
I used Laws of Legacy; the few seconds I had closed my eyes to lay down the basic laws.
“You can’t do that. I am Lord Taren Zanav, of House Zanav; I will crush you and this legacy here and now!” he roared angrily, making the eyes of a middle-aged man go wide.
“It seemed like you are planning a rebellion against the empire, Taren Zanav?” I asked with a smile.
A confusion appeared on his face, hearing that, and opened his mouth, when the middle-aged man stopped him.
“Adviser, Lord Taren, and House Zanav have the intention of rebellion; those words are spoken in anger and stress, and for it, I apologize to you, my lord's behalf,” said the middle-aged man and bowed faintly.
“What the fuck, Grass! Why did you apologize to this son of a whore?” asked Taren in fury.
“Empire constitution, section seventeen, clause 1. A legacy is a personal domain of the emperor and the host of it is his envoy.”
“Any disrespect and harm caused to the host is disrespect and harm to the emperor and thus punished accordingly,” I said with a loud voice and power of skill so that everyone could hear.
He heard that, and the expression on his face paled as he understood. The consequences he could face for his words.
Though they are exceptions to the law. The emperor formally needs to decree it too, to make it official.
He opened his mouth but soon felt something, not only him but also his lackeys, the rhinos, the men sitting on them, and the guards. I had not even spared Mage York.
They all felt the effect and began to take steps toward the gate, unwillingly.
Taren and the middle-aged resisted for a second, before starting to move toward the gate; they were unwilling, but they didn’t have a choice.
They are not powerful enough to resist the rules of the legacy.
I wanted to do much more to the bastard than throw him out, and I could. Even if I slapped and kicked the bastard, or gave a cut or two. I won’t receive any punishment other than having a slap on the wrist.
Doing that would be letting him go quite easy. It will also lower the prestige of the establishment.
I now have the real power that nobody could take away from me.
I have to consolidate it and soon, there would be a time when I would be able to wield it, such that he would regret what he had done here, every moment of his life.
