South Coast,
Chernobyl Islands,
In duke Mason's castle was an infant whose eyes were filled to the brim with wonder and excitement.
'Never thought I'd actually be reincarnated in a fantasy world, never expected this to happen to me!.'
He exclaimed as the thought lingered in his mind, 'What actually happened? I don't remember much of anything before coming to this world, though I do remember getting in a fight and then the darkness.'
[Beep! The A.I. chip has successfully fused with the new host's soul]
"Wait…what!?"
Hearing this mechanical voice, Tirus felt a little shocked. A multitude of thoughts churned in his head as he asked.
"Who was the previous host?"
[The previous host was named Fang Ming, a scientist]
'Fang Ming, Fang Ming… I remember this name, wasn't this Leylin's name back in his previous world? So, have I crossed over to magus world? How do I have the A.I. chip?'
"A.I. chip, what happened to the previous host?"
[The previous host, Fang Ming's soul was devoured and eradicated by the current host, the A.I. chip has now fully fused with the soul of the new host! There is no sign of any other consciousness in the new host's soul]
The A.I. chip's mechanical voice resounded in his head as he came to an understanding. 'Hm, It seems I devoured Leylin's soul accidentally eh? Oh wait, now I remember everything! I died in an accident and when my soul was coming to this world, my soul collided with Leylin's soul, devouring it in the process!'
Sounds of footsteps could be heard as a maid with a slightly mature figure walked in.
She came closer to his cradle as she said, "Good morning young master, are you hungry?" She asked as she carried him in her arms as she started breastfeeding him.
Tirus started enjoying his meal. 'Oh god, if this is not being lucky, then tell me what is? I am in the magus world, with the A.I. chip and am born in an aristocratic family, my start is as good as Leylin's!'
"Now, now, young master, clam down, I'm not going anywhere." The maid giggled as she looked at him with eyes full of adoration.
A few days passed sleeping and drinking milk all day.
Tirus had already gotten used to this lifestyle, 'I wonder when mother would come?' he thought as he put on a longing expression.
He didn't have any family or anyone close to him in his previous life, but he really, really liked to cuddle. His mother cuddled with him a lot, but since she was a noble, she was usually busy with her daily routine of going to shopping, wearing make-up and going to tea parties.
She did this not because she was irresponsible, it's just that she knew that infants didn't need that much attention.
"Aw my cutie, I've arrived!" the voice of a woman could be heard. A woman in a white gown entered the room and rushed to the infant, Tirus.
"Did you miss me?" She asked while rubbing her face against his tummy.
Tirus hadn't formed any strong bond with this mother of his, and the bond currently was quite superficial, naturally because it had only been a few days.
But since he had his intelligence from his previous life intact, he knew how to get people to lose themselves in his cuteness. Just cry and then become quite and cuddly if someone carries you.
'Kinda wholesome, I like it.' He thought.
Sounds of Tirus giggling could be heard as Elena rubbed her face against his tummy.
He enjoyed the moment to the fullest.
Looking at his mother, athought came to his mind, 'She looks so great, so I should also become quite handsome once I grow up, huh.' Tirus wasn't perfect in his previous life. Although he had a high IQ level, he still quite awkward with women. But in this life, just his looks alone may be enough to make almost every woman fawn over him.
...
A few hours later,
In the main hall of Elrod castle.
"How's the supply of iron ores going?" Duke Mason asked about the supply of iron ores.
The first generation head of the Elrod estate used the special purple cherry wine to consolidate his power, but without having multiple sources of revenue, the Elrod estate would have long since been buried in the history.
"The iron ore supply is going smoothly, lord." The female assistant said as she was bowing.
"Mm, good…" Duke Mason said with a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
'As long as this bussiness is going, we are fine for another generation or two.'
Although he was the Duke, he was known for his unenthusiastic approach towards the family's prosperity, as long as he still had enough money to eat what he wanted and buy what he wanted, he was satisfied.
If the ancestor of Elrod noble family was alive, then he definetly would have squashed this man to death.
....
After a month, the duke's wife, Elena, got pregnant once again.
Once more, she gave birth to a son. After giving birth to her second son, Evan, she understood one thing and that was, that although she loved her second son but her first son Tirus, was her favorite, he rarely ever cried and was more intelligent.
Actually, there wasn't anything wrong with her second son as children are normally like that, and she knew that, but compared to her Tirus, every other child wasn't much.
A few years passed like that and soon, Tirus Van Elrod was six years old.
To be continued….
