"Ahhhh"
Axel felt his body was heavy and sluggish. He didn't remember what just happens. The last thing he remembers was someone pushes him on the road. He died. Looking at the soft yet tender hands, he look surprised. He was pretty sure he doesn't have such a tender skin. Even women from his world cannot compare with him right now.
After carefully looking at the room, he found out that he was sitting on a soft yet comfy bed, and there's the expensive looking oil paintings on the wall, the exquite looking decorations show that he was in medieval times. Soon the headache came in. He found another set of memories in his head. Axel Anson. The son of the Earl of the border territory. He comes to realizarion that he was in the novel world.
The novel world is a fantasy world. The type of world where there are mages. The world is ruled by powerful mages. There are basic elements fire, water, wind, earth and powerful elements Lightening, light, dark. There are alao mutated elements ice, metal, lava and hidden elements which are very rare.
The mages system go by apprentice three stages(initial, mid, peak) , mage three stages (initial, mid, peak ), great mage five stages (1-5) , grand mage five stages (1-5) , Legendary mage seven stages(1-7) and sage level unknown as no one has ever reach it before.
The world 'Zaral' have three continents. Human beings live in Glory Continent, Elves, Dwalves and Beastmen live in Divine Continent and The demon beasts live in Blood Continent. This world history is a medieval style and countries are ruled by kings and queens. Yes, there's a noble system as well.
King, Queen.
Prince, Princess.
Duke, Duchess.
Marquess, Marchioness.
Earl, Countess.
Viscount, Viscountess.
Baron, Baroness.
Knights
After rethinking the informations in his head, Axel anxiously walk around in the preciously arranged room as he knew he was in trouble. He didn't know how to free himself from the child of heaven. He was reborn as a 14 years old minor villain, the son of Earl. He died at the start of the novel. Yes. Very pathetic. The brat was spoiled and unruly and do whatever he want in their territory.
The brat was punished and somehow he still cause troubles. He harrassed the maid assigned to him. Yes! That maid was the child of heaven. He told her to strip nake and well we can imagine what happens next. He was again scolded by his father and fumed in anger alone in the room. Axel was reborn as him at the time as he dies from anger.
Clearly, he was frustrated by the situation he was in. The maid the former Axel harrassed holds the grudge and he was killed by her. Fate indeeds favours the child of heaven.
'Anyway, I have time for at least two months before I die from drug and tortures.'
Axel was seriously thinking how to soften the maid.
'The maid name..What is it again? Ah yes Alina! Her name was Alina'
Alina was the protagonist of this world. This is the novel about how a commoner with tragic background becomes the sage with twists and turns. Well, more like a fallen noble. Of course, the former Axel didn't know about it. He only knows how to have fun all day.
At 14 years old, he was only at the first stage of apprentice. The magic power awakens at 12 for every person and he awakens Wind while Alina awakens Fire and Water. Yes, she's a dual elementalist. He have fun all day long and stuck at the first level while she's already at the last stage of Apprentice. Soon, she will become a mage. Becoming a mage is not easy in this world. No more than 10% of the population of this world reach the level of mage. She can be considered as a genius.
This boy was given a lot of resources and yet sill stuck at first stage. We can imagine how frustrated his father must have been. Anyway, since he is in this situration and will be soon in danger, he need to train. At least he need to reach to the last stage of apprentice before going back to acadamy so that he will be labeled as a genius as well and live the life in comfy.
'Yup..That's the plan'
The continent of Glory consists of three empires and many countries.In the country of Sutra, Anson territory can be considered a good place as the Lord Anson did not corrupt. Lord Anson was a kind person and he take pity for Alina and offered a shelter. After all, she's the daughter of his good friend. Hearing how the family of his good friend was destroyed and only she was left, Lord Anson offered food and shelter. Alina was a strong and independent girl and she didn't accept the pity. As such he offers the duty of maid in the noble castle of Anson.
As a fallen noble, Alina was harsh to herself finding that she awakens two elements. She trains hard to revenge her family while Axel lives his life confortably. In the world where strong rules the weak, commoners are like ants to mages. One can become a noble as long as he or she become a mage. Breakthroughing to a mage is as hard as flying to sky with a fan. A person who become a mage before 18 can be considered a monster like genius. People always stuck at the late stage of apprentice and it took years to breakthrough. Some took only a few years. Some took more than twenty years and others never breakthrough in their whole life.
"Young master, may I come in?"
The new maid who was assigned to Axel knocked the door as she brings the lunch to him. He was prohibited from going outside of his own room. Such a trouble maker indeed.
"Come in"
The maid hurriedly enters the room, place the lunch on the table and again hurriedly runs out. Axel was amused looking at the maid entering and exiting like she've seen the monster. Indeed! He's a monster for servants of the household. They were scared of him so much that they didn't dare to meet his eye at all. Well, except that girl Alina of course. Maybe that's why he bullied her.
After eating lunch, he starts thinking about how to advance the stages and how to amend the relationship between him and Alina. As a reborn person, he already notice that his thinking speed was 5 times faster than before and he seems to remember vividly anything he reads. Well, although it's not a huge cheat. Mosquito's leg is also a meat after all. He will have to do with what he has.
There's a situation where Alina was given trouble by another noble who is transpassing the Anson territory. Well, that noble's son is as dumb as the former Axel. He won't comment about it. By subtly helping her, he would mend the relationship a bit. At least he hope to have a more good impression from her. For now, he need to meditate.
'I swear I will advance the mid stage this month.'
Also the former Axel only knows how to use 'wind blade' and his wind blade look more like a stick than a blade. Overall, he has a very pathetic spellcasting skill. Axel decides to check his profile with the crystal. The crystal will show the simple profile of those who exerts magic a bit to it. The crystals are rare and only nobles and mages have it.
As Axel inserts his magic power a bit into the crystal, the crystal shows his simple profile as the crystal was bonded with him.
Axel Anson
Strength-2
Agility-1
Physique-2
Comprehention-8
Spirit-7
The strengh was self explainatory. Strength was used to describe the state of being physically strong. It is important for close combat. Strength would help a person's base damage when he use weapons. At the early stage with few mana, strength is important to depend oneself.
The agility is the ability to move quickly and easily. The ability to quickly change the body position or direction of the body. Agility is also influenced by body balance, coordination, the position of the center of gravity as well as running speed and skill.
Physique is a person's health and endurance. The ability of how much one can withstand damage and heals. Physique is important for people. After all, if one physique is weak, he or she will be corrupted by the mana in one's body and will never breakthrough.
Comprehention is the ability to understand something. To be able to accurately understand written material, decode what people read, make connections between what they read and what they already know and think deeply what they have read. Without the high comprehension, becoming a mage is as hard as changing rock to gold. Although it's possible, it will be hard.
Next is Spirit force. Without spirit force in one's body, there's no way one can use magic. Even if above mentioned things are high, without spirit force, you will be stopped at the starting point. In video games, it's called mana.
Normal adults strength, Agility and physique is between 5 and 6. Almost all of his stats can be called trash except comprehension. This boy although has high comprehenaion is too lazy and still stuck at the starting point. He can only sigh at the former Axel. Such a waste of talent. Being a mage didn't need to have not too high strength and Agility. Although it's good to be high. Physique need to be improved as well. Looking at the stats, Axel felt like spiting out blood.
Axel sit cross legged on the bed and meditate. He sits confortablely on bed and closed his eyes. And he breathes as the Anson family's magic breathing technique describes. He focus on how the wind elemental particles enters his body as he inhales and exhales. As a reborn person, he notices his spirit spike up from measily 4 to 7 . Maybe it might be due to his rebirth. If he reach spirit energy to 10, he will advance to mid stage.
Whenever, the previous Axel sits and cultivates, he falls asleep. No wonder he was stuck at the starting level. It's not that his talent is bad. He was too spoiled to take magic seriously. He has eaten a lot of potions and herbs and the energies aren't digested and still accumulated as he eats and drinks potions and medicines daily. Due to anger, those energies which remained inactive suddenly become active and he dies from having too much energies. Such a wretched guy.
In the study room of the Anson castle, there can be seen the beautifully drawn oil paintings were hanged. There's also shelves of a collection of different kinds of expensive magic books, history and different kinds of subjects such as Alchemy, herbology, Glossary of low level Beasts etc. The sun light from the window shown brightly in the room as the head of the Anson family was looking at the papers reported from territory. As the Earl and feudal lord of the country, he had to manage a big territory and he was busy everyday.
Axel was low key these days and meditate in his room. Except daily activities, he would meditate. It's been a week he's not causing trouble and Lord Anson felt uneasy and ask the butler about his son while looking at the papers on the exquisitely made table. His son gave him huge headaches. Indeed, he had spoiled him too much and now it come to bite him. Since Axel's mother dies from birthing Axel, he always spoiled him to not to let his son depress from having no mother.
'That child..When will he grows up'
Lord Anson sighs as he ask the bulter about his son.
"Your Hornour, young master didn't cause troubles and stays in his room obediantly."
The bulter who watched the young boy Axel grows up from a child considers Axel as his grandson and also spoiled him. As a single in his whole life as he serve the Anson family, he cares and loyal to the family deeply.
Lord Anson hearing the answer was very much surpried. His son cannot stay at one space no more than a half hour. He seeks fun everyday and cause mischief for him. Especially as he grows up, he starts to harress the ladies. This cause him headache and didn't know how to reprimend his son at all. As Axel was his only son, he didn't want to scold him harshly and the situation got out of controlled. He doesn't mad that much when Axel harrassed Commoners. After all, where strong rules weak, commoners are more like ants to nobles. But touching Alina was like picking up a stone and stump at one's own foot. Her background is complex and he didn't want his son to die without knowing how he die. That much complex indeed.
Hearing that Axel was obedient, Lord Anson was pleased.
"Your Lordship, it seems young master was about to breakthrough too"
Lord Anson was stunned hearing the next words.
'Finally you are mature, son'
Lord Anson was happy hearing it and he decide to let him off from punishment.
