Synopsis

Chapter 1 - A New Start

(1st Person POV)

I wake up and feel like something is looming over me after I finish my morning routine and head out to work. I take a taxi to my workplace and start working. I start walking back to my house from the company I work for and I see a light catch the corner of my eye. Then I turn my head to see a truck going right towards me. The next moment I feel my body erupt in pain and I feel my soul leave my body.

(POV Change to the strongest being )

His soul has finally grown strong enough for me to give him this. I wish I could talk to him again. Properly take care of him and all the things I couldn't do. I will now give him this and place it on his soul.

(POV Change to Different higher being)

That Soul looks familiar, hmmm Ohh I think I remember, He was the one who made me go through all of that. So now I will put that soul through as much pain and torture as I can.

(POV Change back to MC in 3rd Person)

Like normal, the soul gets relocated and naturally goes into the reincarnation (Totally not different from normal) cycle, the soul naturally goes into the baby and he forgets everything that happened in his past life and lives. The baby's name was Serules.

(TimeSkip 6 Years)

My parents are Ruqil A young man, who appears to be twenty-five: has a nice upper body build, his legs tone but not as developed, Olympic blue hair, Currant red eyes, Beige skin tone, 6 feet (182.88 cm) tall.

A woman who appears to be twenty-four years old: her body is muscle instead of fat and I can tell she works on her body a lot, Pecan brown hair that goes down to her shoulders, Seafoam green eyes, Almond skin tone, D-cup boobs, 5 feet 10 inches (177.8 cm) tall, her name was Elevena.

I found a mirror and looked at myself I had: Olympic blue hair (from my dad), Seafoam green eyes (from my mom), Beige and Almond mix skin tone.

The last couple of years was me learning about the world from what my parent talked about and the books they read to me at nighttime. I learned the currency conversion from this world to my old world because my dad is the leader of a really big and popular merchant group. The conversions are 1 copper= $10, 1 silver= $100, and 1 gold= $1000. I found out my mom is the strongest swordsman in the kingdom. They would always say the kingdom name Gavillna (GA-VEL-NAH).

Gavillna is ruled by a king, and the area of Gavillna is 10000 hectares (24710.54 acres). The area has one wall made up of cobblestone. The wall has four openings and is 60 feet tall (1828.8 cm). Soldiers are watching all four openings and merchants must have a merchant card and show it to the soldiers.

The reasons for the running water and lights are a thing called Venticile lines, they take mana from the Biephermia and the lines go through the earth and give off mana so some of it can be absorbed. Biephermia is the core of the planet, it is a ball of condensed dark matter. It is also the birthplace of Seqguins(sen-quins), they are spirit-like entities that can take the form of any weapon and need the only things that can store enough mana to convert it into an element and use it in a useful way.

They can be found anywhere on the surface layer, but they mainly try to avoid humans. They can be found in abandoned buildings or ruins. You must make a contract with the Seqguin, the contract gets bound to your soul and you both must set terms and come to an agreement on what the contract entails. If one party breaks the contract, they both lose their lives. My mother's sword is a Seqguin and each one uses a different elemental feature, going from light to darkness, earth to wind, fire to water, and some other subcategories of elements. The stronger the monster or creature you find the stronger elemental conversion they have.

Classes (can tell its elemental strength and attribute by the form it takes while not being a weapon - Low Class-) animals (not monsters) Medium class- spirits, demon dogs, ice leopards, elemental golems, High Class- Dragons, Mythical creatures, or evolved versions of some medium-class creatures.

Some people tried to absorb mana, but it ended with them dying or being crippled to the point where they can't move. After everything I learned over the past three years, I turned nine. My mother started to do some basic workouts like running around the manor and doing some push-ups and sit-ups than mom would talk to me about swordplay because she wanted me to be able to use the sword. She had a Seqguin but when I tried to interact with it she would ignore me. My dad would want me to continue to be a merchant so he would teach me about economics bargaining and other business and money things. For the next couple of years, I steadily started to grow in swordsmanship and being a merchant.

On my sixth birthday, I started to spar with my mom and my dad was quizzing me on some questions about being a merchant. After I passed my dad's quiz, he started teaching me about survival skills. My parents accompanied me to the forest of Zequena(Zek-Qeh-Na). The forest was known for monsters or creatures who evolved by the mana but got more aggressive because of the evolution.

Before we went into the forest, we brought some food/medical herbs, and some healing elixirs (only for emergencies). I brought nothing except a sword, and we all walked into the forest. The first thing I was taught about was tracking monsters and setting up traps. The whole first day was me setting up traps and using clues about the area to predict behavior or find some of the creatures. It was exciting to have the change of scenery, the feeling of being close to nature helped me calm down. I then killed some creatures to get a good feel of where some of their weak points are, after they died, I learned how to harvest meat and other valuable body parts. The feeling of killing a creature was hard at first but eventually the sticky feeling of blood on my hands, and the consciousness of killing them weighed on me faded, I kept telling myself it was necessary to get used to killing things because not killing someone can cause people I care about die. At night my father taught me how to set up camp, make shelter and cook some of the meat we harvested, then showed me where I should put my valuables if I have an extra bag or only my clothes.

When my dad stopped talking to me, he let me sleep under the makeshift shelter I made. I woke up with some bug bites the next day, but the shelter protected me from some light rainfall and the sun. I woke up and found my mom sitting on a log in front of the just-lit fire. She explained to me her situation in the kingdom and her status. I learned that day she was the strongest swordsman. After the talk, she looked at me seriously and said, "I will teach you the sword style that has been passed down through generations on this trip". So, she started to explain the sword style's different forms and techniques. My heart shivered with joy knowing she placed this much trust and gives me a good way to get stronger makes me happy and thankful for having a great mother
