Chapter 3 - The First Steps

The first few days in my new world were a blur of excitement and confusion. I spent most of my time getting to know my family and acquainting myself with the customs and traditions of this world.

My sister Sophia Zephyr, who was barely a year old, had no idea that I was her brother from a different life. But she seemed to like me all the same, giggling and cooing whenever I picked her up.

As the days passed, I started to feel more comfortable in my new surroundings. I had to admit that there were some benefits to being a noble in this world.

My family lived in a grand estate with sprawling gardens and a shimmering lake. We had servants to cater to our every need and a steady supply of delicious food.

The Zephyr family estate was a grand and impressive manor, with a sprawling garden and a fountain at the center. The lush greenery and blooming flowers gave off a sweet, heady fragrance that made me feel at ease.

My father Edward Zephyr, the Duke, is a towering figure, with broad shoulders and bulging muscles that speak to his prowess as a swordsman. He has a rugged, handsome face that bears the scars of battles won and lost, and his piercing blue eyes are always alert and scanning the room for potential threats. He is often dressed in noble attire.

My mother Elizabeth Alhazred, is a beautiful woman with delicate features and gentle hands that belie her strength and skill in the field of magic. Her warm smile and kind demeanor are a sharp contrast to her husband's rough exterior, and she is often seen wearing a colorful apron and mixing potions in her private laboratory.

Together, my family cuts an imposing figure, commanding respect and admiration wherever they go. We are a force to be reckoned with, and anyone who dares to cross us will soon learn the error of their ways.

As I spent more time with my family, I realized that they were not just powerful, but also complex individuals with their own hopes, dreams, and fears.

My father, for all his bravado, had a soft spot for my mother and my sister. I often saw him sneaking into my sister's room in the middle of the night to check on her, and I could tell that he loved her deeply. Despite his tough exterior, he was a family man at heart.

My mother, on the other hand, was fiercely protective of her family and would do anything to keep them safe. She had a no-nonsense attitude when it came to her work as a mage, but when she was with her family, she let her guard down and showed her softer side.

Despite their differences, they loved each other deeply and were committed to making their marriage work. It was a delicate balance, but somehow they managed to make it work.

As for me, I was still figuring out my place in this world. I had been given a second chance, and I was determined to make the most of it. But as I looked at my family, I couldn't help but wonder how my actions would impact them.

But first, I had to learn more about this world and the paths to power that lay before me.

Luckily for me, I knew about the future and also some cheats that were laying all across the universe.

I had to gain as much power as possible before the main story started. Because as soon as the main story starts, things starts to go haywire for everybody in this world.
