Ignus Darcaya spent the next few days exploring the kingdom of Darcaya, marveling at the sights and sounds of his new home. He learned that the kingdom was a place of magic and wonder, filled with creatures and beings he had only ever read about in books.
But despite the beauty of his surroundings, Ignus couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered within him. He knew that his rebirth had brought him a new life, but he also knew that it had brought him new challenges.
One day, as Ignus was exploring the royal palace, he came across a grand chapel dedicated to Lilith, the Goddess of this world. Intrigued, Ignus entered the chapel and found himself drawn to a small alcove at the back of the room. There, he discovered a pedestal with a glowing crystal orb resting upon it.
As Ignus approached the pedestal, he felt a strange sensation wash over him, as if the orb was calling out to him. Without hesitation, Ignus reached out and touched the orb, and in an instant, he was overcome by a blinding light.
When Ignus opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a vast, empty space, surrounded by darkness. A voice echoed in his mind, gentle yet powerful.
"Welcome, Ignus Darcaya," the voice said. "I am Lilith, Goddess of this world. You have been reborn into this world, and I have a special task for you."
Ignus listened intently as Lilith explained that he had been chosen to undergo a ritual to determine his affinity for magic. The ritual would reveal which elements Ignus was attuned to, setting him on the path to mastering his powers.
Excited and eager to learn, Ignus agreed to undergo the ritual. He was led to a sacred chamber within the chapel, where he was surrounded by mystical symbols and arcane energies. A circle of runes was drawn around him, and he was instructed to meditate and focus his mind.
As Ignus closed his eyes and concentrated, he felt a surge of energy flow through him. He saw visions of his past life as Charles Henry, memories of his time spent playing VR fantasy games. But amidst the memories, Ignus also saw glimpses of his future, of the great deeds he would accomplish in this new world.
When the ritual was complete, Ignus opened his eyes to find himself back in the chapel, surrounded by a soft glow of light. He felt a sense of peace and clarity that he had never experienced before.
"Congratulations, Ignus," a voice said, and Ignus turned to see the high priestess standing before him. "You have been blessed by Lilith herself. You now possess an affinity for two elements: fire and earth."
Ignus's eyes widened in amazement. "Fire and earth?" he exclaimed. "But what about the other elements?"
The high priestess smiled. "You have been granted the ability to learn all lost magic you find," she explained. "But for now, you must focus on mastering these two elements. With time and practice, you will unlock the full extent of your powers."
Ignus nodded, determination burning in his eyes. He knew that his journey was just beginning, and he was eager to see where it would take him.
As Ignus Darcaya explored the kingdom of Darcaya, he stumbled upon a lush forest on the outskirts of the capital. Intrigued, Ignus ventured into the forest, the sounds of nature enveloping him in a peaceful symphony.
