After the grand celebration and the revelry of the Northstar family's nobility, Cedric, cradled in the arms of his mother, succumbed to the limitations of his infant body and fell into a deep slumber. Hours passed in a blissful realm of dreams and innocence.
As his eyes fluttered open, he found himself alone. The room, once filled with the laughter and chatter of family, was now draped in a serene silence. Seizing this moment of solitude, Cedric's curiosity surged. With a newfound awareness, he delved into the mysteries of the Conqueror system that had silently accompanied him since his rebirth.
"Conqueror system," Cedric's infant voice echoed in the quiet room. "What is your purpose, and what do you mean by me having survived a curse?"
The digital tendrils of the Conqueror system responded, its voice resonating within Cedric's consciousness. "I am here to help the host become strong enough to conquer the whole planet and be its sole emperor. As for the curse, it was inflicted onto you by the world itself. Sometimes, when an individual's talents are exceptionally high, the world perceives it as a threat. In the original work of 'A Northstar is Born,' there was no mention of how Cedric died. The curse was the world's attempt to prevent your potential rise to power."
Cedric, still in the form of an infant, absorbed the weight of this revelation. The notion that the world itself had targeted him, viewing his potential as a threat, resonated with a cosmic significance that transcended the bounds of his understanding.
"But why?" Cedric questioned, a hint of innocence in his voice.
"The universe has its own way of balancing things," explained the Conqueror system. "For every great obstacle, there will be a reward. In your case, surviving the curse grants you exceptional benefits. The world's attempt to suppress your potential has backfired, and now, as the host, you carry the potential to conquer and shape the destiny of this planet."
As Cedric contemplated the intricate dance of fate and destiny, he felt a surge of determination. The Conqueror system, a guide in this cosmic journey, held the promise of strength and conquest. The world that had once sought to hinder him now laid the path for Cedric to rise above and beyond.
Emboldened by this newfound knowledge, Cedric Northstar, the infant harboring the essence of a past life and the potential of a conqueror, embarked on a journey where the threads of fate intertwined with the digital essence of the Conqueror system.
Just as he began to grasp the magnitude of his destiny, the gentle creak of the door announced the arrival of his mother, Rebecca Northstar. She entered with a grace that transcended the physical realm, her eyes pools of warmth and love meeting Cedric's gaze. With a tender smile, she cradled him, her exterior of maternal beauty hiding the warrior within—a Valkyrie.
The Trait: Valkyrie adorned Rebecca's spirit, marking her as a force to be reckoned with. In a world where strength wasn't just measured in physical might, but also in the resilience of one's character, she had earned her place as a beacon of courage and tenacity.
Cedric, in his infant form, felt the embrace of a mother who embodied the spirit of a Valkyrie. Her fingers traced delicate patterns on his tiny hands, and her voice, a melody of love and warmth, whispered lullabies that resonated with both the tenderness of motherhood and the echoes of battles long fought.
The room, bathed in the soft glow of maternal love, became a sanctuary where the convergence of past lives, symbolic traits, and the potential for conquest created a symphony that resonated with the cosmic dance of the Northstar family.
Rebecca's eyes, pools of both gentleness and determination, held a depth that spoke of experiences etched into the tapestry of her being. The Conqueror system, ever vigilant in the recesses of Cedric's consciousness, seemed to hum in acknowledgment of the warrior's presence.
As Cedric drifted into the embrace of sleep once again, he felt the heartbeat of a Valkyrie mother—a heartbeat that echoed with the promise of strength, love, and the uncharted destiny that awaited the Northstar born anew. The traits that defined individuals in this novel were not merely physical attributes but symbols of the essence that shaped their existence, and Rebecca's Valkyrie trait was a testament to the intangible qualities that made her a formidable force in the world they inhabited.
The Valkyrie, a trait that resonated with the echoes of ancient legends, marked Rebecca as a force to be reckoned with. In a world where power was measured in the prowess of races like orcs, the magical affinity of elves, and the might of dragons, Rebecca had earned her place among the top 10,000 in terms of power on the continent.
The significance of this achievement wasn't lost on Cedric. In a land where warriors numbered in the hundreds of millions and races possessed innate advantages, a human breaking into the top 10,000 was a testament to exceptional skill and strength. The humans, lacking the inherent advantages of other races, compensated by cultivating traits that elevated them beyond their limits.
