Miracle

"Chirp…"

With a faint sound like a whistle, the automatic door of the room closed again, sending away the guest who had visited this room.

Luo Zhen stared blankly at the screen of the laptop in front of him, but he didn't manipulate the keyboard anymore. He didn't even focus his eyes, letting the character he had painstakingly cultivated be killed by the almost-dead Boss and sent back to the city to revive. His nimble fingers stopped moving even a little.

It wasn't until a long time later that this scene was broken by a faint voice.

"Usually you're so weak, why are you so persuasive only when you're lecturing people?"

Luo Zhen could only complain like this.

And that was true.

Looking at Roman's weak appearance in front of Olga Marie, one could tell how easily bullied Luo Zhen's older brother seemed to be.

However, whenever this kind of moment appeared, Roman would show a mature side that others couldn't imagine, as if he were a wise man who had seen through all the world's confusions, telling Luo Zhen extremely persuasive words.

"If he could be like this usually, he wouldn't be treated like a pushover by the people at Chaldea. Useless older brother..."

Luo Zhen kept complaining to the only family member who wasn't present, and threw the laptop on his lap aside in a fit of pique, lying down on his bed.

Just then…

"Fou!"

Accompanied by a cute cry, a white creature popped out from somewhere and jumped onto Luo Zhen, who was lying on the bed.

"Fufu?" Luo Zhen immediately frowned, as if wanting to settle accounts, and said to Fufu, who had jumped on him, "Were you hiding nearby watching me make a fool of myself?"

"Fou!" Fufu ignored Luo Zhen's anger and scratched the fur on its neck with its front paws.

"Oh, really!" Luo Zhen cried out in a strange tone, as if even more angry, "Even you look down on me, huh?"

"Fou!" Fufu raised its eyes and looked at Luo Zhen innocently.

"Don't look at me like that!" Luo Zhen reprimanded Fufu, "Don't think I won't make trouble for you just because you're acting so cute. Mashu isn't here now, and there's no one to help you. Even if I stew you here, you can only accept your fate. If you know what's good for you, quickly show your belly and surrender!"

"Fou!" As if unwilling to pay attention to Luo Zhen's unreasonable behavior, Fufu simply lay down on the spot, lying on Luo Zhen's abdomen, seemingly wanting to sleep like that.

"You..." Luo Zhen angrily stretched out a hand towards Fufu, as if wanting to punish it.

However, just as that hand was stretched out, Luo Zhen stopped and instead stared at the hand stretched out in front of him.

Looking closely, Luo Zhen was wearing a dull golden glove on his right hand.

Looking at this glove, a complex emotion flashed in Luo Zhen's eyes for a second, and then he reached out and took off the glove.

What appeared under the glove was a hand with relatively fair skin.

And on that hand, he was wearing a ring.

A ring that was entirely a brilliant gold color, appearing both ancient and mysterious.

Luo Zhen reached out and touched the ring.

Feeling the cold touch from the ring, Luo Zhen murmured.

"Has it been fourteen years since then?"

As he said this, Luo Zhen's memory also returned to fourteen years ago.

That was the year when Luo Zhen welcomed both despair and hope.

That year, Luo Zhen was only two years old.

Lying in the hospital bed, he should have died due to the extreme weakness of his body.

However, this ending was ultimately reversed.

By an unknown Miracle.

"If this is what you lack, since God won't give it to you, then I will give it to you."

Recalling that voice, Luo Zhen closed his eyes.

Back then, with the help of the owner of this voice, Luo Zhen obtained a Miracle and survived, and his body recovered with amazing speed, as if it had been reborn. He no longer had to lie in the hospital bed waiting to die, but was able to live as a "person."

But Luo Zhen still hasn't figured out the reason and cause of all this.

At that time, who exactly was that voice?

At that time, what exactly was the Miracle that saved him?

What kind of means was used to save him?

Luo Zhen didn't know any of this.

It was as if he had just had a dream. After waking up, Luo Zhen recovered as a matter of course, and walked out of the isolation ward as a matter of course. Even though his physique had been weak since he was a child, the current Luo Zhen had indeed obtained a body that was enough to support him to live.

And after that, two more changes occurred.

One was the appearance of Roman.

Luo Zhen still remembered what this man said when he appeared in front of him when he came out of the isolation ward.

"I am Romani Archaman. Although this may sound abrupt, I must tell you that I am your blood relative. You could say that I am like your 'older brother.' Only this point is certain, and I hope you can accept me."

The expression on Roman's face as he said those words was one of unprecedented gentleness and joy.

It was because of that expression that Luo Zhen accepted this person who suddenly appeared before him, claiming to be his older brother.

At the time, Roman also produced a DNA test report, which clearly stated the fact that the two were blood-related biological brothers.

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Zhen and Roman had never met before the age of two, perhaps their surnames would have been exactly the same?

This was the first change Luo Zhen encountered after leaving the isolation ward.

The second change was the ring on Luo Zhen's finger.

From the moment Luo Zhen miraculously revived, this ring appeared on his finger as if it were part of his flesh, and no matter what method he used, he couldn't take it off.

Luo Zhen even had the feeling that even if he cut off his finger, or even his arm, the ring would return to him, never leaving his side.

This made Luo Zhen realize one thing.

"This ring is definitely related to that Miracle from back then."

Thus, Luo Zhen called this ring by that name.

—〈Miracle〉.

The ring, named after what was most important to Luo Zhen, accompanied him for a full fourteen years.

And in those fourteen years, the ring named 〈Miracle〉 gradually began to emit inexplicable messages, granting Luo Zhen a great deal of knowledge.

This knowledge was mainly divided into two parts.

One: Knowledge of Summoning Magecraft.

Two: The ring's own miraculous power.

The former gave Luo Zhen various kinds of knowledge about 〈Summoning Arts〉, which supported Luo Zhen in mastering considerable Summoning Magecraft in just three years, in combination with his own amazing talent.

The latter told Luo Zhen that the ring had a function.

It could open the door to the 〈Otherworld〉.
