Chapter 488: A Great Gathering

King Grey has unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability. However, solitude lingers closely behind those with great power. Beneath the glamorous exterior of a powerful king lurks the shell of man, devoid of purpose and will.

Reincarnated into a new world filled with magic and monsters, the king has a second chance to relive his life. Correcting the mistakes of his past will not be his only challenge, however. Underneath the peace and prosperity of the new world is an undercurrent threatening to destroy everything he has worked for, questioning his role and reason for being born again.

Summary

The Beginning After The End revolves around King Grey, who has unrivaled strength, wealth, and influence in a world governed by martial ability. However, such an external success hides an empty life devoid of joy and fulfillment. After his untimely and mysterious death, he is reborn in a magical new world as Arthur Leywin, where he has the opportunity to live a second life with a fresh beginning.

In his new life, Arthur is blessed with a loving family and an inborn talent for magic, contrasting sharply with his previous life. This new world, however, is full of challenges and dangers, including monstrous creatures and complex magical abilities. The story follows Arthur’s growth from childhood, navigating through political, social, and magical challenges in this new realm.

Throughout the series, themes of growth, salvation, and the desire to change one’s fate are prominent. Arthur’s journey is not just about physical growth and learning magic but also about understanding the importance of connections, love, and the complexities of human nature. This manga offers a blend of action, adventure, and fantasy, appealing to readers who enjoy delicate character development and expansive world-building.

About Feyrith Ivsaar III

Feyrith Ivsaar III is a noble elf belonging to the Ivsaar House that Arthur meets as a child in the Kingdom of Elenoir. Initially antagonistic towards Arthur, Feyrith eventually comes to respect Arthur as a mage and declares him his rival.

While attending his first year at Xyrus Academy, he is chosen to be a part of the Disciplinary Committee and takes Practical Mana Manipulation class alongside Arthur and Kathyln.

Feyrith initially appeared as a spoiled and immature elf, who looked down on humans. He also initially harbors animosity towards Arthur for being a human and was jealous of the fact that Arthur is Virion’s only disciple and also Tessia’s companion; but he eventually comes to respect him as a mage and even deems Arthur as his rival.

Regarding his personality, it can be said that Feyrith often acts cocky, appearing confident in his actions. He also tries to appear well-mannered, but his voice has a slight tone of arrogance. Moreover, Feyrith is prideful, which can seen by the fact that he postpones his rematch with Arthur, because he knows that he is no match him for him, but he does not want to admit it, hence why he makes excuses.

Unlike the other Disciplinary Committee members, Kathyln noted that Feyrith is not emotionally strong, as he was crestfallen when the Tri-Union Hall, a symbol of the unification of the three races, was burned down. Seeing the hate towards his race, Feyrith feels dispirited.

Prologue

I never believed in the whole “light at the end of the tunnel” folly where people, after experiencing near-death experiences, would startle awake in a cold sweat exclaiming, “I saw the light!”

But here I am currently at this so-called “tunnel” facing a glaring light, when the last thing I remember was sleeping in my room (others call it the royal chamber) .

Did I die? If so, how? Was I assassinated?

I don’t remember wronging anyone, but then again, being a powerful public figure gave others all sorts of reasons to want me dead .

Anyway…

Since it didn’t seem like I was going to wake up anytime soon, while I slowly gravitated towards this bright light, I might as well go along with it .

The journey seemed to take an eternity; I half expected a choir of children to be singing an angelic hymn, beckoning me towards what I hoped would be heaven .

Instead, my vision of everything around me turned into a blur of bright red as sounds assaulted my ears . When I tried to say something, the only sound that came out seemed to be a cry .

The muffled voices became clearer and I made out a: “Congratulations Sir and Madam, he’s a healthy boy. “…Wait”

I guess normally, I should be thinking along the lines of “Shit, was I just born? Am I a baby now?”

But strangely, the only thought that seemed to pop up in my mind was, ‘So the bright light at the end of the tunnel is the light coming through into the female vag…’

Haha . . . let’s not think about it anymore.

Assessing my situation in rational king-like manner, I noticed, first of all, that wherever this place was, I understood the language . That’s always a good sign .

Next, after slowly and painfully opening my eyes, my retinas were bombarded with different colors and figures . It took a bit of time for my infant eyes to get used to the light . The doctor, or so it seemed, in front of me had a not-so-appealing face with long, greying hair on both head and chin . I swear his glasses were thick enough to be bulletproof . The strange thing was, he wasn’t wearing a doctor’s gown nor were we even in a hospital room.

I seemed to have been born from some satanic summoning ritual because this room was lit only by a couple of candles and we were on the floor over a bed of straw.
