A delicious dinner was already placed on the dining table on the right side of the tent, and the aromatic smell of food permeated the air.
Fei could tell that this boy was starving, and that his lips were dry. Although the king told this little guy to start eating before he left the tent to deal with other things, this boy held back his hunger and endured the smell of food. This little detail showed the quality of this boy, and this might be one reason why Fei liked him.
Come and eat some food.
Fei helped Dessler to the dining table before getting him a cup of milk and a bowl of soup. Then, the king laughed and said,
If you don’t mind, can you tell me about the things that happened on this island? I want to know when you and those villagers settled on this island.
Dessler grabbed this cup of hot milk tightly and drank it in silence. Then, he licked the milk off his lips.
After drinking the milk, it seemed like he got more energetic and recovered some vitality. His pale face even turned a little red.
He said,
Thank you, Honorable Master. My name is Dessler, Buenos-Dessler. I was born on this island…
…
My name is Dessler, Buenos-Dessler.
For as long as I can remember, I have been living on this island that everyone around me calls [Blood Crime].
From the descriptions that others around me gave me, [Blood Crime] is a safe paradise. It is beautiful like the heavens. We can escape from the tragedy that was lurking above the heads of my people.
Unfortunately, I never got the chance to see this island which is beautiful in others’ words. I don’t know what the white beach looks like, I don’t know what Uncle Belletti who took care of me looks like, and I don’t know what my future wife, who was selected from the 60 girls on the island, looks like. Is she really that beautiful, gentle, and lovely as my friends said?
I was born blind.
Ever since I was born, I was destined to live my life in the darkness.
If I’m only blind, then the curse isn’t that powerful. I would have other options.
However, I later learned that my physique is useless. My body was tested when I was one year old, and it turned out that I’m useless. Even ordinary people have some energy channels inside their bodies so that they could cultivate warrior energy or magic energy. However, my body is stuffed; the energy channels in my body are blocked.
It means that I’m not only a blind person; I’m also unable to become a powerful master.
The gods are too cruel to me.
If I was born at any other place, I would have been abandoned in the wilderness and fed the beasts before I could learn how to speak.
The only fortunate thing for me is that I got the honorable family name of Buenos as soon as I was born.
I’m the only descendant of Buenos who was the hero of humans in legends.
I’m also the family head of the island of [Blood Crime] from birth.
My father died in a fierce battle before everyone moved to this island, and I heard that my mother died due to the difficulty in giving birth to me during delivery. The roughly 2,000 people on the island were the servants and retinues of the Buenos Family and their descendants, including Uncle Belletti.
They were all the most honorable and loyal warriors, seniors, and friends.
As a useless person, I was showered in their love and care.
I can tell that the love and care were genuine; they weren’t fake and didn’t come from pity.
Chapter 783: The Genius Who Was Cursed (Part Two)
Everyone on the island cared for me and tried to satisfy all my requests. Also, Uncle Belletti tried many methods and sacrificed a lot to help me unblock those energy channels so that I can cultivate and become a master… but all attempts failed.
I was once very desperate and depressed.
I used ten years to calm myself down and accept the curse that was placed upon me by the gods.
Then, I used fours years to understand the world around me.
In my 14 years of being alive, those were the only two things that I completed. Perhaps it would only take others one year or half a year to do.
Gradually, I was able to sense the joy that others couldn’t, and I was able to discover things that others couldn’t find. Now, I can capture those brief moments of light that would flash in my world of darkness.
Everyone said that I’m a sage. They said that if I wasn’t born with this physique, I might have been able to become someone important.
Their tones were filled with pity and sympathy.
They found the most beautiful, most intelligent, and most talented girl on the island to be my fiancée. When I get to 18 years old, I would be able to marry her, and I will soon have kids afterward. I will pass down the bloodline of the Buenos Family and shatter the dark clouds that are above everyone’s head.
Am I only a poor soul who can’t do anything but pass down the bloodline?
I don’t think that way.
These are all my obligations, my missions, and my honors… These are the greatest things that I, a useless person, can achieve in my life. The people around me poured their lives and the lives of their descendants on me for the Buenos Family which is almost buried in history.
Why should I be greedy?
Why should I be demanding for more?
I’m satisfied.
However, it seems like the curse on me never stops.
Tragedy struck again.
Before sunset, demons that never appeared before crawled onto the beautiful beaches from the sea and attacked the village. My seniors and friends died in the hands of the demons, and Uncle Belletti who was powerful couldn’t defeat these demons. Therefore, he had to ditch the others with tears in his eyes and help me escape with the strongest warriors in the village.
In the end, the demons caught up.
We were in a desperate situation.
I couldn’t see it, but I was able to sense Uncle Belletti’s anger and sadness.
Do the gods really hate the Buenos Family? Or are they scared of me? Why did they place such a powerful curse on me? Are they trying to exterminate the Buenos Bloodline?
At that critical moment, an unparalleled figure descended from the sky like a battle god.
He killed the demons and saved me…

Fei listened carefully as Dessler told his life story in a calm tone, and he looked at this boy in pity and sympathy.
Dessler was only a boy who was 14 years old. He had been through a lot, and his state of mind was beyond the level of many adults. Most of the people in the world couldn’t endure so much and still have a smile on their face. This boy’s character was beyond unwavering.
If he could cultivate, he would reach a high-level!
His story was too pitiful.
Let me check the energy channels in your body. Perhaps I can fix your problem and give you the opportunity to cultivate.
Fei wanted to help this boy, so he started the test. After placing his fingers on Dessler’s wrist, a streak of golden energy entered the boy’s body, inspecting his condition.
