The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Running a kingdom is already an expensive venture. The world would be on a whole other level. Without enough resources to satisfy the people, there would be no way to conquer the world.

Conquering the world would require an army to do so. A few strong men would not be enough to do so. Even if they were enough, they couldn't be enough to maintain the huge empire. A large army would be required to maintain such a vast empire.

To maintain such an army, there is a need for a large number of resources. Those aren't easy to come by. You have to accumulate for years so that you would have more than enough resources.

It's just not the army. There would be millions of people in the empire and what they need are food and shelter. If the empire was unable to do so, then there would be rebellions. exclusive-to-MvLeMpYr

If an uprising happens, then he would have no choice but to kill the same people that he once thought to be his people. For him, that can't happen.

Dorian was still at a young age. Though because of his family's conditions, he was able to mature faster when compared to his peers among nobles, but he still is a teen, who doesn't know much about the world.

There is no way he would think to do such a thing at this age. He has yet to taste the power and the corruption that accompanies it.

There are very few who can withstand such a temptation that comes with holding such power in their hands. So there was nothing that was set for the future if he indeed would become the ruler of the world.

"Are you the one who sent me that message?" Dorian asked the student who was sitting by the table.

After the episode of failing to provoke Magnus, Dorian thought of another way to make him his stepping stone, but before he could think of another way, he got a mysterious text.

He didn't who it was but the text said, "I can help you in dealing with your enemy".

He has never spoken to anyone about hating Magnus personally. Though he always stood up against other noble children, he made sure that he didn't attack someone on a personal level.

This was something he gained from other senior commoners who were able to attend academies.

Even if you stand up against the nobles, they would treat you as some fly that can be squatted easily whenever they want. They wouldn't take big actions against you, because they too know that the commoners hate them and this fighting back is just a phase that would end soon.

No need to take it seriously but that wouldn't be the same if you target someone specifically.

Sure by doing so there can be some unexpected allies who can help you but these allies are not actual allies. They would be using you to get rid of their troubles for them, without making it obvious to others.

If a commoner targets a particular noble child, he would target them too and that won't end well either for the commoner or for his family.

The other noble who used would be fine as there is no evidence of doing anything against the noble that the commoner provoked.

Either the noble that he hated for some reason would die or the commoner who he turned into a sword to hurt that noble would die. In either of these cases, he wouldn't lose anything in the end.

The one who suffers in the end would be the commoner child who thought that he could take on the noble child. This was because whatever the result of the clash might be, the noble family wouldn't leave the commoner child's family alone. They would be punished heavily, even would be condemned to death.

This was something that many commoner-born children have seen happening to the ones who didn't find some rich thigh in the beginning. If they have some support, there is no way the other noble would cause too much trouble even for the commoner child.

Dorian has no such support and what could happen to his family if he actively targets someone on a personal level, no one would know. So he kept that a secret. He appeared similar to other commoners who ahs grudges against the nobles.

Though there were clashes, there were no problems, no more than estimated. Everything was working fine until he received a message from an unknown number.

He has no idea who it is, but he wants to know who it is that learned his secret, but he has no way of finding that. He was not into these technologies and there was no one that he knew who could help him in this matter.

At that time, another message appeared.

"Meet me in the Cafeteria. Tomorrow, 4 PM. I would be the one wearing the Blue Scarf", the message read.

After reading the message, Dorian was in a dilemma about whether to go to the place or not. There is no way that the person who contacted him was simple. I never said to anyone and yet he was able to find that. So either he is personally powerful or his family is powerful.

Either way, it was trouble for him, but he wanted to know what he could gain from this. So he decided to go and see where it would lead him.

"Yes, I am, and as I said I can help you. First, please take a seat", the boy smiled slightly at Dorian.
