The Revenant's Awakening
Chapter: A New Beginning
Many other things seemed odd to him; his mind was full of thoughts. Yes, he had memories of a previous life, but this time, he also carried the recollections of being "KRYTHOS: the shadow revenant."
"Oh, it looks like I am reincarnated."
He said it confidently because he had also facilitated the reincarnation of many people and demons from one world to another after their deaths. The process was part of his role as a shadow revenant—a being tasked with maintaining the balance between realms.
"How did I die… how did I die… how…?"
Yuna struggled to recall the details of his demise. His memories were fragmented, like shards of a broken mirror. Yet, he vividly remembered his last moments in his previous life—the pain, the fading light, and the sense of inevitability.
"Well, that's not important now. My plan—what happened to my plan? Oh yes, it failed because I died. But no worries, I will just do it again."
His determination remained unshaken. Yuna knew that his purpose transcended life and death. He had a mission—one that spanned across worlds and dimensions. The density of magic particles in this new realm intrigued him. It was unlike anything he had encountered before.
Suddenly, footsteps approached. A woman entered the room where Yuna lay—a maid dressed in a simple, yet elegant, attire. She lifted him gently, her eyes wide with surprise. Yuna wondered if she sensed something extraordinary about him.
"W-Wait, what is she trying to do? C-Can I kill her?"
But Yuna's infant body lacked the strength for such thoughts. Instead, he cried—the pain of falling amplified by his fragile form.
A New Family
Two weeks passed since Yuna's reincarnation. He learned much during that time. The woman who dropped him—his mother—was Alice Edvart. Yuna's name in this world remained unchanged, a curious coincidence. He resided in a noble's house within the Eldoria kingdom.
Alice doted on Yuna, unaware of his true nature. She had no inkling that her son harbored memories beyond infancy. Yuna observed his surroundings—the grandeur of the mansion, the intricate tapestries, and the magical artifacts adorning the walls. Eldoria was unlike any place on Earth.
"I can't use my powers fully," Yuna mused. "Is it this human vessel or something else?" His abilities were restricted, limited to a mere six percent. He concealed his true strength, preferring to remain inconspicuous. After all, he had a plan—one that required patience and subtlety.
As the years passed, Yuna grew. His elder sister, Alexia Edvart, excelled in swordsmanship, magic, and studies. She was a prodigy, destined for greatness. Yuna, on the other hand, remained unremarkable—his defeats against Alexia reinforcing that perception.
Yet, Yuna's true purpose lay hidden. He honed his skills in secret, biding his time. The density of magic energy in this world intrigued him. Perhaps here, he could achieve what had eluded him in his previous life. Yuna resolved to unravel the mysteries of Eldoria, to reclaim lost power, and to fulfill his shadow revenant duties.
The Enigma Unfolds
"Yuna, where are you hiding?" Alexia's voice echoed through the corridors.
His sister, ten years old now, possessed innate talent. She embodied the ideal noble—the future crimson knight. Yuna observed her from the shadows, wondering if their blood connection allowed her to sense him. He remained a phantom, a mere observer.
"I'll remain inconspicuous," Yuna vowed. "My plan awaits, and Eldoria holds the key."
And so, the shadow revenant embarked on a new journey—one that would shape not only his fate but the destiny of an entire world.
To be continued…
Yuna's path was set—a convergence of memories, magic, and purpose. Eldoria awaited its enigmatic revenant, unaware of the shadows that stirred within its walls. And as Yuna navigated this unfamiliar realm, he wondered: What secrets lay hidden beyond the veil of reality?
