I opened my eyes, feeling a slight headache, and slowly realized that I had been transmigrated into a new world. As my vision cleared, I found myself surrounded by opulence in a remarkably luxurious room. It was at that moment that I understood the truth of my situation. I had left behind my previous existence and embarked on a new journey in this unfamiliar realm.
I patiently waited, allowing the memories of the previous inhabitant of this body to emerge. After five minutes of mild discomfort, the memories flooded in, overwhelming my senses and intensifying the headache that had been lingering. It took a full ten minutes for my mind to adapt, comprehend, and assimilate the new knowledge. With each passing moment, I gained a deeper understanding of myself and the intricacies of this world.
Contrary to Earth, this world possessed a distinctive shape. It was not round but instead comprised of vast land masses located at the center, surrounded by smaller islands, and enveloped by an endless expanse of sea. The plane I currently resided in was considered one of the lowest, limiting the presence of beings to a tier 5 classification. If I wished to ascend to the upper plane, I needed to embark on a quest to locate the trial ground and successfully overcome the challenges that awaited me.
Regarding my own identity, I discovered that I was Maxwell Dragonheart, the third prince of the Dragon Heart Empire. The imperial throne was occupied by my father, Emperor William Dragonheart, a powerful and respected ruler. My mother, Vilita Dragonheart, the empress, hailed from a noble background as the daughter of a duke. I was blessed with two older brothers who had already honed their formidable skills. Jack, my eldest brother, possessed the talents of a tier 3 warrior specializing in swordsmanship, in addition to being a tier 1 mage. Meanwhile, my second elder brother had become a skilled tier 4 battle mage, commanding immense magical powers. As for me, I had the combined abilities of a tier 3 mage and warrior.
Rumors circulated that the royal family's exceptional talents were attributed to our ancient dragon lineage. This mythical connection explained our heightened abilities and contributed to our esteemed position within the empire. Furthermore, I discovered that my family held influential connections within the upper plane, an advantage reserved for those who embarked on the trial ground.
As I reflected on my circumstances and contemplated the unknown, I couldn't help but wonder what adventures lay ahead. The transmigration had thrust me into an intricate tapestry of magic, politics, and personal growth. With each passing moment, my resolve deepened, and I vowed to make the most of this opportunity, embracing the responsibilities that came with my newfound status and striving to leave an indelible mark on this land, forever altering its destiny.
I eagerly awaited the awakening of the system, aware that its arrival would herald the beginning of an extraordinary chapter in my life—a chapter filled with trials, triumphs, and the unfathomable potential that awaited me.
