Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System!

The seventh king of the fallen kingdom of Sumeria was Sherard Allston.

He was an infamous womanizer.

One time when he was horny, he forced himself on a beautiful palace maid, which led to Marty's birth. After Sherard found out that the woman he had a one-sided tryst with had become pregnant with his child, he made her his concubine and threatened her to give birth to him if she didn't want to see her family annihilated.

Marty's birth mother wanted to kill herself after she was abused by King Sherard Allston, but she lacked the courage to end her life.

By the time she found it, it was too late.

She loved her family and couldn't watch them getting punished by the tyrant, so she gave birth to Marty and served the king with a smile, although it pained her heart to do so.

Hidden behind the smile that she showed to the people when she was alive were tears and sorrow.

Sherard Allston had destroyed her life. He killed her dream of getting together with her lover. After she was touched by the king, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare show her face to her childhood sweetheart.

He was just an average man and couldn't enter the palace to ask why she had started ignoring him. He thought that she was like other women who chased after wealth and glory after he heard that she had become the king's concubine.

In less than a year, he moved on with his life. When she gave birth to the King's child, news reached her ears that he had already married. This news broke her heart further, and her hatred for the king surged to a new level. She passed it on to Marty. Her foolish actions didn't escape the king's eyes, and he stopped protecting her four years into marriage.

At the time when the king was covering for her, Marty's mother was poisoned by the king's jealous wives during pregnancy so that he wouldn't be born. Because of that, it was a painful ride to give birth to him. Four years after his birth, the king started giving her a cold shoulder. His wives took notice of it and went after her throat. She was plotted against so hard that she died.

A funeral wasn't held for her.

The king called Marty on the day she died.

"How could I have an abomination like you as my son?"

Marty still remembers how his father looked at him in disgust.

It was undisguised and hurt his feeling deeply.

Marty was born with severe deformation. He didn't fit the human aesthetic. His face was unsymmetrical, and his right hand was smaller than his left hand.

He was born like that because when his mother was poisoned by his stepmom when she was pregnant with him, the poison in her body affected the fetus.

He was poisoned before he was born, and his ugly body was the result of that.

The king made the dogs eat his mother in front of his eyes.

It was done to show him what happens to people who plot against him.

Marty loved his mother a lot. She was the only person who treated him with kindness. There was a reason behind it. She wanted him to kill the King. He couldn't see her getting eaten by dogs. He pleaded with the king to make them stop, but his words fell on deaf ears.

When he made a move himself, he was quickly beaten down by the dogs that were thrice his size.

Some bit his neck and limbs, crippling him further.

After he failed to stop them from destroying his mother's corpse, he lay bleeding on the ground, watching her getting torn apart by the dogs bite by bite until not a sign of her was left. Then, he lost consciousness due to bleeding profusely.

The king didn't let him die as, in the end, he was his son. He let the mages heal him before throwing him to the cold palace.

Marty was kept in a separate palace by his father from birth. This was done to tell him that he shouldn't dare to fight for the throne if he valued his life.

He valued his little life a lot, so he didn't eye the throne as per his father's wishes.

He didn't have followers since he was a waste.

Only a few people served him.

Out of them, he liked his study companion, Sibley Bramblett, the most.

After his mother, she was the only one that treated him like a human.

Marty thought that she was strange. He was so ugly that others wouldn't even come close to him and would flinch when he looked or smiled at them, but she had no problem hugging or staying glued to him.

He started liking her, and eventually, he started feeling warm and fuzzy in her presence.

Eventually, as he grew older, he became aware of his feelings for her and realized that he loved her.

Sibley accepted his feelings without hesitation, but they decided to keep it a secret as Marty was the king's son, and Sibley, a mere daughter of the king's servant, didn't deserve him. If news of them becoming lovers were to spread, she would be punished or maybe even executed.

Marty couldn't help but hate his father more. Not only did he cause the death of his mother with his indifference and allow dogs to eat her to teach him a lesson, but because of his ridiculous rules, he couldn't even marry the woman he loved and treat her like his wife in public.

He could only love her gently in secret, hold her and mutter sweet nothing in her ears under the covering of darkness.

What he didn't know was that she was far from being pure.

"Finally!"

When the news of his three brothers getting killed in the war against the Sun kingdom reached his ears, Marty smiled.

"Finally, I can be free!"
