Back on Earth, previous life.
"BAHAHAHA! Yes! To prove your allegiance to the company, you definitely need to complete the candleburn ritual!!"
The candleburn ritual is essentially a torture thod that the company disguises as a welcoming ritual for newcors.
They used literal torture to ensure that the newbie joining their group wasn't a spy or sothing.
If the newbie is a spy, he will reveal all, and if not, he will obediently follow the procedure.
It was a crude thod, but that's how Jareth joined that shady company and beca an obedient dog of the boss.
He did what he was asked of, and for the sake of impressing the father of the person he loved, Jareth went through great troubles. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
Jareth wanted to get the approval of Shiina's father, and a poor guy like him didn't have many thods to do so.
He had no talent for business or anything, so there was no way for him to get close to the boss.
He joined the company for the sole reason of impressing the boss.
In the process of impressing others, he unknowingly lost his own humanity.
The previous Jareth still had massive burn marks on his back. They had engraved a huge symbol of the company on his back by directly burning his skin.
It was pure torture, but the original Jareth was a love-struck man; he did everything that he needed to.
That was the first ti he ca into such long-term contact with 'fire'.

Current Life.
The day when all of Jareth's misfortune started was the day when his mother was assassinated.
The assassins laughed at his mother's corpse, and the young Jareth cried tears of blood that day.
Those assassins had twisted personalities; they left Jareth alive on purpose so that they could toy with him for a longer ti.
But the young Jareth was smart.
He set his own house on fire, destroying all evidence of his escape; he imdiately jumped into the nearby sewers and fled, unconcerned that his entire body now bore horrific burn marks.
Living like a sewer rat, hiding his neck from the world for the fear of being killed, Jareth used dry wood to light fire and repel the darkness in the underground sewer tunnels.
At that ti, for the first ti, Jareth thought.
'Fire is such a soothing elent… So warm and pure… it brings comfort and protection…'
That small burning wooden stick that he created haphazardly brought him protection from sewer rats and various other small animals like stray dogs and food-stealing crows.
Perhaps by that ti the assassins had already been bored by the young rat rolling in mud, so they left for other missions after it was declared that the boy would be adopted by a vassal family.
Their mission was over, and they had played enough.
But by that ti, the young Jareth had learned the true value of the pure strands of fla, which had the power to preserve his life.
Perhaps his affection for that fla was the reason why he even got fire affinity in the first place.

When Jareth got the news that the Vassal family that raised him was destroyed, he returned ho to visit once.
All he saw was a burnt ruin and nothing else.
He was too late and too weak.
He cried at how pathetic and weak he was; even with all the efforts and all the intelligence, he couldn't reach his goals.
He couldn't take revenge and couldn't even do justice for those who raised him.
Let alone the mother who gave him birth; the one who raised him was also burned to death, and only her ashes were left for him to collect.
Those broken and burned ruins taught Jareth that fire can protect and it can also destroy things.
The sa fire can be gentle and fierce in the hands of different people.
Jareth used the fire to protect himself, and the assassin group used it to murder and destroy the evidence.
These were two completely opposite matters, yet they seed to have taught Jareth a lot of things.
Walking a difficult path, Jareth lived a hard life.
The constant pressure and fear solidified his ntality, causing him to mature quickly; his talent in theories flourished, and he fortunately graduated without any issues.
By that point, Jareth had already beco extrely familiar with the fla of protection and destruction.
…
Back to current ti.
While suffering the imnse pain of being burned alive, Jareth's mind wandered off to random monts of his life and made him rember past mories that he had suppressed before.
For fear and for regret.
He wanted to hide and forget about these things, but the burning fire made him rember those tis when he had faced the real, true nature of fire.
'Ah, how could I forget… It was with all along…'
From previous life to now, Jareth has witnessed the 'True Nature' of fire many tis.
He's been in it's close proximity many tis.
And every ti he was in contact with the 'True Fire' he was going through an unforgettable mory and had intense emotions in his heart.
When tortured by the company in previous life, he had infinite love to support him through it; when running through the sewers and hiding, he had imnse hatred in his heart.
And when visiting his burned ho, he had guilt and regret in his heart to the extre.
All three tis, when he was in contact with the true fla, he had the power of extre emotions.
'I had already grasped the nature of the fla long ago… I just never acknowledged it…'
Jareth had already realized the true 'essence' of flas long ago, and he had already seen through the 'Law' of 'Fires', but he just refused to rember those past mories.
The burning fire made him rember everything.
'I had been rejecting this warm, protective, and destructive fire… I need to accept it, as it is my true nature afterall…'
Jareth's nature is the sa as the nature of a fire—warm, protective, and yet destructive at the sa ti—or perhaps he picked up this nature from the fire that fascinated him so much.
'Sigh… I admit it then; I acknowledge you… my eternal burning fla of destruction…'
[Ding! Congratulations! You have achieved a feat that no one ever has!]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have been acknowledged by the 'Law' of 'Flas'!]
[Ding! Your fire affinity has been increased to the extre!]
[Ding! You have beco immune to Fire Damage of any type and form!]
[Ding! You have received a new title 'Master of the True Fla'! All fire type attacks will be enhanced by 99%!]
[Ding! Your Fla-type attacks will be blessed by the 'Law' of true 'Fla' from now on!]
[Fire attacks will ignore 50% of the opponents defenses and resistances!]
Controlling and manipulating the 'Laws' of the world is a very difficult matter, and doing so needs imnse ntal power and magical capabilities.
But if the 'Law' itself has acknowledged you, then it is a completely different matter at that point.
Instead of you needing to control the power of that 'law' forcefully, the 'law' will help you willingly and grant you imnse power in monts of need.
Although the presence of the sea of miasma is weakening the effect of all 'laws', Jareth can still conjure imnse power once he's blessed by the Law of Flas.
What normal fire mages use is a fire forcefully created from manipulating mana and turning it into fire elentals, but now that Jareth has the 'Law' of 'Fire' helping him out.
He can directly consu the mana to summon the power of the 'Law' of 'Fire' itself.
From now on, all his fire magic will be made up of the power of true flas, which ans his fire magic has been enhanced to the extre now.
[Ding! All conditions t...]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have ascended to Grade-2!]
Due to the forceful entry of an imnse amount of mana in his body in the form of fla elentals.
Jareth's maximum mana capacity increased, his originally small mana circuit was forcefully enlarged, and he directly beca a peak grade-2 mage on the spot.
This is how terrifying the power of the blessing of a 'Law' is. Jareth ascended from the level of an interdiate grade-3 mage to the peak of grade-2 in just a matter of minutes.
The terrifying aura created by the appearance of the true fla in his body caused even the space-ti fabric to tremble and warp unstably.
Seeing that his imnse aura might really cause so spatial phenona, Jareth hurriedly suppressed the aura and used mana singularity to hide everything about him again.
Shin and the others who were standing in the distance were simply too stunned to say anything, even after Jareth finished his ascension.
Jareth created shockwaves directly in the space-ti fabric and even made the space-ti fabric tremble horribly.
Not even Grade 1 mages create such massive scenes when ascending their small realms.
At most, they create small mana whirlpools that cause disturbance in the air and create tornadoes in the worst-case scenario.
But not even they are so destructive that hundreds of ters of area get turned into molten lava and even the space-ti fabric becos unstable.
Jareth has directly changed the landscape of this area now.
People will stand in awe when visiting this place in the future and will think.
'How is it possible that there is a massive lava lake just one kiloters away from an oasis!?'
