As his body was fighting while being possessed by Second Throne, Xue Ren himself was experiencing a second past.
Kuzan, Feuer Kuzan.
That is the name of the second reincarnation of his. The family Feuer was once, known and exquisite family as they had God of Fire as family head.
However, one's prestige just like fate isn't sure and solid. The God of Fire had fallen and the divinity of fire has been taken by dragon race. It had huge impact on the Feuer family, but another miracle had been born after several millenniums...
Or mircales...
Three young babies evoked the monolith of Feuer Family to the brighest degree ever seen!
"It's been shining even more than when Lord Asche was born!"
The one who said this was humpbacked old man. He was moving slowly which was completely opposite to his mouth! As his mouth was non stop talking about future prodigies with excitement, the fate of Kuzan and his brothers has been set.
The sons of family head, born at the same time. Being under care of various people 24/7, Kuzan has never felt loneliness, such word was out from his dictionary.
Eating, sleeping, bathing, reading... every kind of activity was accompanied by maids, butlers or teachers to the point where Kuzan began to covet for loneliness.
He who was only three years old yet he wanted to be alone!
'Annoying!'
The young Kuzan prepared a plan! He usually sleeps with either maids or his mother, thus, the day when his mother came...
He was pretending to be asleep as he hugged her deeply, but there was no way he could deceive his mother...
"You can't sleep, Little Kuzan?"
The young mother buried her son in her breasts as she asked her question. It was the moment of attack!
"Mmhm."
Kuzan began to hug her tightly while burying his own head within her breasts! The mommy smiled as she stroked his hair with slow movement...
"Little Kuzan, you are already three years old... Ah!"
Kuzan didn't stop, rather, he went further. Following his unnecessary knowledge, he began hugging tighter and tighter.
Her little son was thrashing around so much it was weird, but mother just smiled and kept stroking his hair until she herself got tired.
'Isn't it hard to keep patting for such a long time?!'
Since he couldn't make his mother fall with his tight hug, Kuzan decided to pretend to be asleep once more.
And mother easily believed him as she couldn't properly focus after such strange outburst. As she went asleep with contentment, Kuzan moved!
Dabuuuu~~
He left the bed heroically with aura of youthness! Being alone was new to him and it gave him spark of thrill as he was moving through hallways alone. The young face of his was full of beaming smiles. Then, he arrived at his father room.
Inside, he has found out his father talking with their ancestor. It was the humpbacked old man who was servant of God of Fire, the so called, Divine Messenger.
"Such bright light means that the talent is higher than Lord Asche. The possibility of our family regaining the divine fire is high! High as fuck! Ahhaha!"
"Yes, ancestor."
"Schuze, for giving birth to such prodigies, your name will be definitely written in the Soaring records of our family."
"That's great, Ancestor."
The father, Schuze, was full of smiles. For him, such matter was the most important. Now, all he had to do was train his young sons, so that he could be 'Master of future Divinity.' With such thoughts, there was no way the smile of his would disappear any time soon.
"All we have to do is wait two more years so we can check their talents."
'Two more years!'
Kuzan who felt like his father cares more about talent, decided to spend his next two years fully on training. As for his progress...
"Good!"
Kuzan cried happily! He could use every fire technique he has been given making others to applause him as they envied his talent.
'If it's like this!'
Since fire techniques were too simple for him, he began his physical trainings. Push ups, squats, lifting... then, magic power control. After that, he focused on his awareness...
The young one hasn't spent one day lazing around. His every day routine was filled with harsh training till the destined day...
"Young Masters, please focus your magic power the moment the pressure descends on you."
The old ancestor said this as he tapped the monolith with his staff. The monolith answered with light glow as it pressured one of the three brothers...
For Kuzan, the time he has seen his brothers could be counted on both hands. Because they are prodigies, their every days were filled with training. The only time he could interact with them was when their father had taught them together... which was quite rare.
The father prefered to teach them separately. This way, he could slowly probe at their talents without waiting for the monolith declaration.
And because of that...
'Kuzan talent is the highest.'
It was his result of early tests.
Kuzan eyes never left his brother who was under the pressure coming from the monolith. Such pressure was too strong for normal five years old kid, but since he was one of the prodigies...
"Ahhhhhh!"
He could endure even though he was screaming incessantly. Soon, the monolith released a bright orange light that shook the crowd!
""Ohhh!""
"Good!"
It was similar glow to that when he was born! The young one fell on his butt as the pressure disappeared. However, his young face was full of smiles.
Then, it was time for his second brother. He was in the same situation as the pressure descended once more. The light was very similar to that of his brother which made him to smile with contentment as if he has already passed the exceptations coming from his family...
The time has come! Kuzan prepared himself as he clenched his little hands tightly. The old ancestor tapped the monolith and...
'Eh?'
The pressure didn't appear as he expected. Rather than that, he felt as if something was awakening inside him and moving throughout his whole body...
At that time, the young one didn't know that his special magic was awakening thoroughly together with his five nature elements attributes...
As he stood without knowing what to do, his father and ancestor narrowed their eyes. No matter how long they have waited, the pressure didn't appear just like the light.
For them, it meant one thing... The monolith doesn't react to him! Seeing this, the old ancestor turned to young prodigies. With affectionate voice, he told for Kuzan's brothers to meet him tomorrow... As for Kuzan, the old ancestor didn't even spare a glance as he left the room...
The young prodigy didn't know what is going on. With blank face, he turned to his father. The moment he noticed his father eyes...
'Why?'
The affectionate eyes full of love has been replaced by scornful, disdainful eyes.
'Why?'
His mother, maids, butlers, teachers... everyone has been looking at him with those eyes. The change was too sudden for the young Kuzan which made his eyes to moist. His whole body trembled and he truly didn't know what is going on... Kuzan tried to force a smile, but under such pressure that was coming from his close ones...
'Why are you looking at me like that?'
He could only ask them this question inwardly. He had no strength to open his mouth, then...
"Kuzan, you are going to live in your mother's family from now on."
The emotionless voice of his father sealed his fate...
Tap! He fell... just like his brothers... but the reason of his fall was way too painful...
This day was his last day at the Feuer Family household. Kuzan couldn't help, but turn to the monolith which was so big reaching the ceiling. At that time, he didn't know whether he should hate this monolith or his family who has such high beliefs for this monolith judgment...
