'It's been three weeks.' Luke thought , looking at the teacup placed in front of him.
He remembered passing out in front of large gate in his memories. Luke woke up two days ago. His head was stuffed and it took him almost a week to sort out his memories .
It was reasonable though. Years of necessary and unnecessary memory stuffed into a body that was supposed to contain only one persons memory places heavy burden on the body itself.
'My body is almost healed. This world is truly magical. '
Luke haven't met his family yet .
According to his memories, Voclain family is a mainly military family . High Nobles and High class military families posess some similarities.
Rich and powerful.
Luke was spending his time on books, gathering all the knowledge he could about this world.
'Memories do not represent me.'
There is only so much information he could gather through memories. He still needs to rely on himself.
From what he gathered, Royals and nobles are in delicate balance with eath other. Three factions keep each other in check . Niether Royal faction nor Noble faction could fallout with military since they are the ones keeping much of monsters at bay.
Terevir was a relatively peaceful world until 1500 years ago , monsters started appearing. All native beasts mutated into monsters as well. That was when people started talking about cataclym.
According to myth of creation in this world. Gods walked this land. When God created all living beings in this world , All living beings in the world are made of God's blood. He created this holy land for his children in the middle of Abyss and his divine kingdom. Earliest God's children all posessed a beast form each of thier own.
This world contains energy that is beneficial for body called mana .There occurs something called awakening.As the name suggests , its a phase where a certain bloodline is awakened within. Awakening occurs at the age of sixteen for all humans of this world. Those who fail to awaken remain ordinary humans for a lifetime . Those who awaken different beast bloodline posess different powers according to the rank of the bloodline they awaken.
Mythical beast bloodlines are rumored to be non -existent.
800 years ago , under the constant threats of abyssal monsters , humanity almost perished . Due to thier large numbers , constant supply of talents was needed .
Military , The noble faction and the Royal faction together decided to estabilish an Academy for awakeners. With time , rankings and fight for resources within the academy began and becoming rankers and forming factions became a norm.
Due to high number of awakeners , branches of Academy for Awakeners spread and gained autonomy with time.
In current era , Royal Academy and Military Academy are top Academies for awakeners. Due to Noble faction not being united , there are many small acdemies too.
What kind of blood one awakens will make eligible for what kind of academy. Military and royal academies accomodate children of highly reputable families in respective feilds.
Looking at all the information , Luke suddenly thought of something.
He' s going to Military Academy in a few months. Three and a half months later will be his 16th birthday , The day he will either become awakener or stay an ordinary person forever.
'I have no plans dying in merely few years. ' Luke thought.
He was already planning to become as strong as possible before his awakening.
" William" Luke called .
" Young master" william entered the door and stood in a straight posture with his head bowed.
'What a trained and strong butler. As expected of a military family' Luke thought.
"Prepare a welcome ball. Father will be coming back in two weeks " .
I know it was hypocritical of me . I wanted to stay 'Luke ' as long as possible.
But it was time to finally become 'Raven'.
And it will start by acknowledging people he once did.
" What are the results of investigation?."
" Nas family . Young master. They are political opponents of Voclain."
" Alright. Does Father know? "
"Yes . Young master."
"Okay"
" Master hurried back as soon as he got the news."
I knew what the butler was implying. Raven always thought his father didn't care about him as he wasn't around much.
I do not know what changed after I became Raven, But I can feel richer emotions than before. The goodwill for his father , care for servants around him , His thirst for vengeance when he drew his last breath.
My knowledge of this world comes either from a family trained young master's memories or books with no practical experience.
'One step at a time ' I thought.
