Mage Manual

Chapter 1692 - 1249: Now It’s Fantasy Time

In the endgame battle of the Seven Heavens, Ash, Sonia, Diya, Weiser, and Vishi united to raise the Heavenly Kingdom and challenge the Supreme Star, the greatest mage of all time. As the prolonged war continued, both sides exhausted all their resources and forces, wagering everything to seize the throne of the Supreme of Magic. However, the advantage in numbers that Ash’s five failed to overcome the depths of experience the Supreme Star had established over thousands of years, inevitably falling into a disadvantage. Just as they were about to lose this supreme war due to this slight disadvantage, Ash decisively sacrificed his last memories, narrowly defeating the Supreme Star, seizing the Supreme Void Wings of the Supreme Star, and bringing the world under his control. From this moment on, time belonged to Ash Heath!

But as the price, this new Supreme of Magic lost all his memories, holding power with no awareness, like a blank sheet of paper.

Depending on the extent of damage among the team, his fate would have drastically different possibilities—

If Diya suffered the least damage, managing to defeat the Sword Maiden and others, and took the opportunity to kidnap the unconscious Ash. Then Ash would wake up in a strange villa, with a cold black-haired deacon assisting him with washing up and dressing, and getting a bit intimate along the way;

A dignified white-haired elder sister would check his soul body’s condition, and get a bit intimate along the way;

In the training ground, he would engage in free sparring with a red-haired young lady to test his combat power, and get a bit intimate along the way;

Finally, a witch lady would tell him what happened in the past and remind him, ’Don’t you feel you should have four lovers?’ As soon as Ash answered yes, the witch would say, ’That’s right, because you are the lover of us witch sisters.’

Even if Ash found it a bit odd, the number of lovers matched, and the little girl Liss, who made him feel very close, would testify that the elder sisters were telling the truth. Little Liss wouldn’t deceive him, right?

Moreover, Diya would surely open the witch’s domain every night, completely draining Ash’s mental capacity, and Diya would ultimately achieve the "Witch’s Secret Garden" ending.

If Weiser broke through during the battle, becoming the first Seven-winged Divine Being in the Void Realm, and took Ash away when all the mages were exhausted. Then after Ash woke up, Weiser would seriously explain the reason for the amnesia to him and kindly say, ’If you only hear my side, you will eventually wonder if I have fabricated false memories, and I also don’t know you well enough, so I will take you to places you visited before and see people you met before. I will always accompany you to retrieve the lost past.’

Ash would surely be deeply moved, and alongside the fear of amnesia, he would definitely discuss the functionality and sexual abilities of the Seven-winged Divine Being with Weiser every night. When the time was right, Weiser would take him to meet Hanna Tamasi, the "Princess" second only to the "Queen." With Ash’s trash bin personality, he most likely wouldn’t be able to refuse and then couldn’t help but feel guilty. At this time, Weiser would tell him, ’It’s okay, I like everything about you, I will accept you, whether good or bad’, using Ash’s guilt to firmly establish herself in the position of chief queen.

Later, even if the Sword Maiden and others came looking, they could not shake the status of the Silver Lamp, and Weiser would ultimately achieve the "Queen Strategy of Silver Lamp" ending.

If Vishi had pre-planned to immediately attack the Sword Maiden and others the moment Ash won, snatching Ash and running away. Then after Ash woke up, he would see a pink-haired maid taking care of him, telling him he was the most heinous criminal in the history of mages, the ’Ghost Prophet’, now wanted worldwide. If you don’t believe it, just go out on the street and ask. Now, the three strongest mages in the Void Realm are frantically searching for you.

Ash would indeed find it so upon investigation. Although he would be very confused about how he turned out to be the villain, now to survive, he could only flee with the maid. During this process, he would undoubtedly wonder why the maid followed him into exile. The maid would answer that she had offended Ash, the great villain, by being too kind and was bound by his ruby chains; even if she hated Ash to death, she had to obediently protect him.

Ash felt both shame and gratitude but still felt something was amiss. He thought there must be a reason why he locked up the maid. Yet, during the subsequent journey, he would find out that even though the maid had a sharp tongue, she was very caring towards him, even secretly admiring him.

After an exhausting escape, the maid finally confessed her feelings, and Ash united with her completely, having no more doubts. He voluntarily unlocked the maid’s ruby chains. From then on, Vishi soared to great heights, and regardless of whether she trained Ash into the Supreme Tyrant or ruled herself, she would achieve the "Maid’s Serpent Rebellion" ending, able to do as she pleased without restraint.

As everyone pulled back from their distant fantasies, Diya suddenly grew serious while eating a grilled chicken wing: "As long as the Dazzling Star lives, it’s our huge hidden threat, we must find every way to grow and defeat the Dazzling Star to help Ash achieve the Supreme of Magic!"

"Exactly!" Weiser nodded: "I will strive to advance to Six-winged or even Seven-winged to help you all!"

"How can our Master be under someone else?" Vishi bit all the meat off the skewer, saying enthusiastically, "Let’s tread the world and fate underfoot, together!"

Ash looked at them expressionlessly: "...Even though that’s indeed what I meant, why do I feel like you all have some ill intentions?"

"No way!"

"We’re all hoping you can become the Supreme of Magic, right?"

"Exactly, exactly."

"Do you all have such confidence in Ash?" Felix couldn’t help saying, "Are you so sure he can defeat the Dazzling Star?"

"We’re fighting alongside him not because we believe he can defeat the Dazzling Star," Sonia said softly with a smile, biting on her orange juice straw: "It’s because we must defeat the Dazzling Star... As for whether or not we can beat him, that’s not something we consider at all. Anyway, let’s not discuss whether Ash will sacrifice his memories; even if he does, do you really think there’s a chance for you to rewrite his life?"

"How would you know unless you try?" Diya pouted: "Why wasn’t I the first one he met, why was I just a bit later than you, why is it only your memory that’s left to the end... It’s not fair!"

"It’s not that I want to change anything," Weiser said lightly: "I just want to make Ash a bit happier... to let him guiltlessly enjoy everything he deserves."

"What rewriting?" Vishi blinked: "I just want to be the maid of the Supreme of Magic."

"Then just try it," Sonia said nonchalantly: "Let’s see who can rewrite his life, just don’t cry later."

"You too, Sword Maiden!?" Ash was shocked looking at his most trusted lover.

Sonia lifted her juice cup with a light hum: "Isn’t it perfectly normal? If I had amnesia, would you tell me all the sad things from my past? Would you tell me that I once felt uneasy and self-pitying because of a man? Wouldn’t you help delete the memories that made me sad and only leave the happy past instead?"

"Amnesia is a chance to reshape one’s life, a chance for others to reshape their own life."

Ash paused: "So you want to rewrite my past to delete..."

"Exactly," Sonia nodded: "To delete those memories that made me sad—your happy past only needs to have me alone."

Ash burst out: "Isn’t it supposed to be memories that made me sad that are deleted!?"

Sonia questioned: "Without all the other women, would any of your memories still make you sad?"

Ash opened his mouth, unable to retort for a moment, then said sulkily: "Although I seem fine, amnesia... Let’s put it this way, Witch, Silver Lamp, Vishi, I know we’re comrades-in-arms and lovers of the Shared Life and Shared Death, but I actually have no grasp of our relationship. Without the support of past memories, only my one-sided feelings, our relationship feels like a house built on air."

"It’s like walking down the street and suddenly three beautiful girls claim to be past life lovers, wanting to renew our romance in this life, a normal person would be anxious, right? After all, who knows if it’s just a Dream Bubble Shadow."

"Maybe that’s the real reason I want to hide my amnesia... I’m afraid it’s just a Dream Bubble Shadow."

"So unless truly absolutely necessary, I won’t sacrifice the last quarter," Ash spread his hands: "I already deeply regret losing your memories... If I lost even the last memory, no matter how much you all help me, I would feel like a balloon without a string, having no idea where I would be blown to."

For a moment, the balcony was a bit silent, only the sound of charcoal crackling could be heard.
