Chapter 3 - Chapter three, The trails of sound.

Jason's surroundings slowly begin forming, and he sees a world filled with sound. Next to him is a waterfall made out of pinkish blue water filled with music notes. The flower field where he stands has knights practicing swordsmanship with swords made out of speakers. All around the flower field are singing flower in a wide platelet of colors.

The knights start to bow immediately when they see him, and one of the knights stands out, it's the one who tried saving him in his past life. The knight salute him while he apologizes for failing to save his previous life. Jason immediately feels relieved when he sees him and says: "I really don't mind, I am alright now that is what matters! I am just glad you are alright. I thought you died on earth!"

The knight then explains to him that creature of this side of the universe can't die in our side of the universe. Apparently the same can't be said about them, the only exception is during the appraisal ceremonies. The knight says that the appraisal ceremonies aren't only for kids! In the evening, all adults who reached a certain level in cultivation can undergo the appraisal ceremony again. To get special cards and sometimes even unlock a new archetype!

Jason excitedly asks what his trail is this time. The knight suddenly starts laughing and says he already nailed it when he saved that woman from getting impaled by sacrificing his own life. "Why Am I here, then? Not that I don't want to see you!" Asks Jason.

"Are you serious? What other reason than receive your reward and getting your special card and one surprise!" Says the knight while laughing. After he is done laughing, he leads Jason to a castle on top of the waterfall. The journey to the castle is breathtaking! The world of sound is extremely beautiful with singing flowers, drums playing rocks, bass playing frogs and guitar playing trees. Some trees are even throat singers, while in the distance Jason hears heavy metal from the mines. How closer they come to the castle, how more different kinds of music they hear.

As they arrive at the castle, the cards bow towards Jason and the knight named Mozart. They immediately open the gate so that Mozart can lead them towards the queen. The castle is decorated with paintings of knights and musicians, there are even some paintings of wizards and their familiars! Nearer to the throne room, they see paintings of the past kings and queens of the kingdom. While Jason is lost in thought while looking at the paintings, they arrive at the throne room.

The queen is already sitting on her throne waiting, she has long pink hair with music notes on it. Her eyes are cherry pink while sparkling like stars, her lips are crimson red while her skin is pearl white. Her body has a similar shape as an electric guitar and her arms are covered with the strings. In her feet are speakers, and there even are some more on her shoulders. When she sees Jason, he immediately bows, she begins laughing gently while she motions him to stand up.

The queen directly gets to business by introducing herself: "Welcome Jason heart fire to my kingdom! My name is Alexandra Beethoven, and I am the queen of the sound world from earth we are still a small world. That's the reason we decided to bet everything on you and your descendants. We as the worlds of sound of earth, Thunideus, and Abrone decided that you are worthy of being our heir and champion. Because of your selflessness and concern for your family, we decided to give you some gifts for your cultivation journey. Do you accept Jason heart fire?' Jason immediately nods excitedly as he receives his gifts.

The queen ask him to wait with opening the gifts till he gets home. The queen tells him that the other worlds of sound will speak to him when he comes of age. They are apparently busy with connecting the worlds that choose him together through some kind of portal network. As Jason begins to fade, she throws a card at him. The card merges with Jason's soul as Mozart sees this, he asks Alexandra if they made the right choice, sending her only daughter with him.

Meanwhile, in the temple.

Jason's parents just woke up from fainting and immediately bombard the nurse with question if their children are alright. The head nurse tries to calm them down while she sends on of the nurses to get Leonadis and Saskia.

After five minutes, the door opens and a nurse comes inside with Leonadis and Saskia, who looks at them with a guilty look in her eyes. Eleonora begins to calm down while saying gently: "Saskia, you don't have to be scared, we still love you and your brother even through you are reincarnated! If you don't mind me asking, why did you keep it a secret?"

Saskia starts crying while trying to explain that she was scared of losing them and her brother. "Why would you ever lose use? We are your parents, even through we are your second pair of parents, we will still love you!" Says Alexander lovingly. After which, he turns to Leonadis and tells him he better starts explaining what he knows of Jason's circumstances.

Leonadis starts by telling him about four year ago with the launch of card master on earth and how Jason saved his employees and his life from the Ouroboros grunts. Saskia gasps when she hears how Jason has died in his past life. She starts getting exited when she hears about Kira. Before they could ask how her previous life was, she tells them she wants to tell that when they are home together with Jason.

The nurse leads them to the place where Jason is undergoing the trails after the doctor checks if everything is okay. When they enter the room, Donatello welcomes them and offers a drink towards them. While saying, he should be back any minute now. As if they had practiced it beforehand, the machine starts glowing and Jason starts slowly appearing inside the room.

Donatello motions for Jason and Saskia to come closer while he gets a book out of nowhere and tells them to put their hands on it. He assures them it is safe and it won't reveal their information to anyone until they want too. Jason goes first as he puts his hands on the book it begins to glow intensely. Slowly a similar but different book begins to form in Jason hands and spits out a binder, backpack, a pin case, and a shitload of pins. The case immediately sucks in the pins while Saskia can't wait anymore. She puts her hands on the book, which leaves Donatello surprised as it begins to glow again. He exclaims while bursting out laughing "Two chosen ones, I can't freaking believe it how lucky I am to witness this. And in my last ceremony thank the gods how blessed I am!"

Saskia and Jason look at him as if he is crazy while backing away quite a bit. He immediately starts explaining that not everyone can be a high priest and that you must be a chosen one to be even considered. He explains that he is just happy to finally have someone who can replace him in the future! As he calms down, he leads them outside while wishing them good luck in kindergarten
