Chapter 1:

"Weak Prince"

Fall of a king


A Thousand years ago, a man named Roman Holford sealed away the Demon King and Founded The mighty Roman Empire. After his mysterious death, time passed and the world slowly forgot the horrors of demons.

Now, Roman is reborn as Leo Holford, The weak and mocked third prince. But as the seal weakens and danger looms again, the former strongest human must rise once more.

Leo's POV:
"Where... am I?
A blinding light burned through my eyelids as my consciousness slowly returned. I felt the chill of morning air, the weight of soft sheets, and the weakness of a child's body.
But my mind... wasn't a child's.
"No... this isn't the battlefield... this isn't the empire I built..."

A voice rang out sharply:

“Oh look, the weakling is awake.”
I turned my head.
Two boys stood at the edge of the bed — dressed in noble uniforms, wearing mocking smiles.
“Try not to cry this time, Third Prince,” the older one sneered.
The younger one flicked my forehead — hard.
“Or maybe go cry to your little doll of a sister again.”

My fists trembled. Not from anger — but from how pitiful this body felt. Weak. Powerless.
The blood of a king... humiliated like this?

Then a gentle hand touched mine.
A soft voice.

“Leo-nii, don’t listen to them.”
I looked down.
A small girl with silver hair and wide, tear-filled eyes — my younger sister, Aria Holford.
She clutched a stuffed rabbit. Her hand was warm. Her eyes, kind.

For a moment, the weight of a thousand years — battles, blood, betrayal — all melted.
But then, the sky trembled.
A distant roar echoed in the air.

Something... was coming.

Something ancient. Something I once sealed.

Leo's POV (after Aria leaves and he's alone):

"Mocked. Laughed at. Powerless..."
"And yet, the moment I opened my eyes, I felt it. A voice."


Suddenly, a chime echoed inside his mind.

[Welcome, Roman Holford. King of the Forgotten Era.]

"What... is this?"

Leo’s eyes widened. But there was no magic. No divine blessing. No sigil.
Just a strange glowing text only he could see — floating in the air before his eyes.

"This is not the power of this world… it's beyond even what I created 1000 years ago."
"Who gave this to me?"

“Even the gods never gave me this power… so who did?”
