In a tall building, big enough to be called a castle, a woman could be seen going through childbirth; the midwives encouraged her to keep pushing, and as she did, a dazzling golden soul arrived in their world and went straight for the building.
As the woman gave birth, she looked at her baby, whom she had carried for 9 months.
"It's a boy," said one of the midwives who was carrying the child.
"Let me hold my son," the woman said, carrying her child and smiling, with all sorts of emotions coursing through her.
But unknown to her, a golden soul arrived immediately after the child was born, entered the baby, and the baby started crying.
She smiled, thinking how her son had the hair color of his father. She cast cleaning magic on the child, cleansing him of all dirt, then she said, "His name shall be Anthony, Null Anthony, the first son and first child of the Null family."
She smiled, then laid her baby next to her, and they slept together.
Anthony woke up the next day. He looked around his room, where his cradle was, and, seeing the design, aesthetics, and a wall literally made up of expensive ornaments, he was happy that his family was well off, as he didn't have to start off as an orphan this time around.
He was ecstatic, thinking of the adventure awaiting him, the dragon waiting for him to slay, but all that was cut short when he perceived a smell.
He soiled himself: "This couldn't get any more embarrassing; looks like I have to grow first in order to even slay anything," he thought and started crying. One of the maids arrived and changed his diapers.
His days revolved around eating, sleeping, and pooping. Time passed, and he was already 5 years old. He spent most of these years trying to draw mana into his body, which he failed at terribly, leaving him angry. Then he grew older and learned how to read.
He spent most of his time in the library trying to find out why he failed to draw mana; he thought he was crippled, that the being had scammed him.
He wanted to cry but later found out that people could only use mana when they awakened at the age of ten.
He leaped for joy when he found out nothing was wrong with him and thanked the being.
He also found out that this world was called Blue Planet, and there had been mana in this world since it was formed, no one knows how long, and it is over 200 times the size of Earth, though he didn't know how much bigger; it was just a guess.
The world was divided between races and into domains, each race occupying its own domain, each co-existing peacefully amongst themselves... ehh, more like they tolerated each other and weren't waging war frequently because of a common enemy: The demon.
It is said the demons invaded Blue Planet 7 million years ago. They seemed endless; they kept killing, they kept coming, they only wanted to devour all life forms on the planet and swallow the planet itself along with its core.
It's said they are invading worlds across the universe. It's been like this since the birth of their race, seeking destruction across all worlds—what their motive is, no one knows for sure.
The main races on Blue Planet were: the Dragons, who were said to be unrivaled in magic; the Phoenix, who were competing with the Dragons for the supreme magic title (by the way, which wasn't even a thing); the Titan race, who were unrivaled in brute strength and force; the Elves, who were unrivaled in wind and spirit magic; the Dwarves, who were said to be unrivaled in blacksmithing but were still battle-hardened; the Human race, who were called the jack-of-all-trades, good at everything but hardly better than other races at any particular concept, though they are a force to be reckoned with; the demi-humans like Foxkin, Catkin, and Werewolf all came together to form a single domain; and lastly, the Vampires, who were called the dominators of blood.
There are other races, but these races are smaller and aren't strong enough to occupy an entire domain on their own, so they boarded near other domains or exist in other domains.
He also found out that his mother's name, who named him, was Mitchelle Crimson from the Crimson family.
She married his father, Null Michael, whom he hadn't seen since he was born. His mother always said he would be back in a few years, so he didn't bother asking anymore and just waited.
He learned that humans awakened to classes here when they turned 10, and these classes came with perks that supported them; some also awakened their physique, some their bloodline along with their class, which came as a surprise to him.
He wanted to train earlier with the sword, but he was stopped by his mother, who said he might end up awakening as a mechanic, which gave him nightmares, so he gave up and waited for the awakening.
He also found out that people had been trying to measure talent in order to focus on which people to nurture, but failed at every turn.
So people with bloodline or physique are highly sought after, while people without them are still sought after, based on their class and perks, though people hardly divulge their perks to anybody.
He also found out he had grandparents, but everyone was out and would only come back a week before his 10th birthday. It seems the demons and beasts were holding everyone.
He found out that his Null family was part of the strongest families in the human domain alongside five other families, which were the Crimson family, the Amos family, the Stellar family, the Lionheart family, and the Landell family.
Adding his family, that's six; these were the top powerhouses of the human domain.
He couldn't help but feel a headache coming from the clichéd, arrogant young masters that he would soon meet; but if anyone tried him, he would knock them down and kill them when no one was watching.
He reincarnated fully prepared for these arrogant troupes. If anyone suspected him after killing the young master, well, this is what a powerhouse family is for, to shield him.
Even if they had proof, would they have enough power? But that didn't mean he would leave evidence for anybody.
The world here was also technologically inclined like Earth, which surprised him because he thought mana would make them backward, but seeing the cars, yachts, phones, laptops, and WC toilets, he couldn't help but feel happy.
He didn't have to sit in hardwood carriages with horses bumping on stones. He gave the being another thumbs up for knowing his style, truly worthy of a being for whom even gods are no more than ants.
He spent his days patiently waiting for the 10th year to awaken so he could see his shameless father, reading and brushing up on history since he had nothing to do, and also thinking of the cheats the being gave him and why he hadn't even gotten a system notification after trying for 5 years.
He felt like cursing the being, but stopped himself as he remembered his previous life, where he cursed God after he got off work only to die a few minutes later. He feared that if he cursed, the being might take the cheat back.
This made him depressed, wishing he could just sleep and wake up on the day of awakening. He could only spend his days reading in the library and gossiping with the maids.
He had the butler drive him in each car once every two days, since each of them was luxurious and he hadn't even experienced a single one in his past life. He must drive them all and enjoy them before he starts training from age 10.
Speaking of awakening, he found out his mother had the Elemental Magician class, which gave her access to a lot of elements and some perks that came with the class, perks she didn't tell him about, saying he was too young to understand.
He could only give up and wait for his turn.
