Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 Rebirth

Lucas's consciousness floated in an abyss, an endless void of darkness. Time Felt meaningless as he drifted, caught between the grip of death and drifting with no aim. Just as he felt himself surrendering to the void, a blinding light pierced through the darkness, pulling him towards it with immense force. 

When he opened his eyes, the world had transformed around him. His pain and loneliness were met with a grand room with exquisite decorations, ceilings with chandeliers that cast a glow over the marble floors, and richly decorated walls. 

Lucas tried to move, but his limbs felt strangely weak and unfamiliar. He looked down and realized with a jolt of shock that his body had transformed into an infant. Before he could fully understand what had happened to him. The doors of the room swung open, and a woman entered with mage-like robes, her eyes a piercing shade of blue with a soft glint in them. " Is my baby hungry, don't worry, mama will feed you soon. My beautiful son, you are born into the glorious Arcanus house. You will bring great glory and fame to the house. After all, you are the only heir to the magical line." 

Lucas's weak infant mind struggled to understand what was being said. Even though the language was weird, he could still perceive the motherly love from the woman in front of him. Days turned into weeks and weeks into months. As lucas grew, so did his situation become clear, he had reincarnated into the Arcanus household a medium sized mage family with expertise in alchemy creations such as chimeras, potions and golems. This world was called the Arcane world, where mages ruled supreme. The power system in this world was fairly simple mages who used arcane arts were divided into 9 ranks, with 9th rank being the absolute peak on could achieve, however in his current continent, the highest rank was only rank 4. However even at rank 4, the beings were absolute monsters, that could level entire continents, with their threat levels even exceeding nuclear bombs in his past life. 

His new parents were called Lord Alaric Arcanus and Lady Seraphina Arcanus, whom were rank 3 mages that specialized in the fire element. His father was an elemental mage who had partially transformed himself into an fire elemental, his mother however was an alchemic mage who mainly relied on alchemic creation such as chimeras to fight. 

What really shook him to the core was not that this was magical world, but that this civilization thrives on enslaving other civilizations, they attack foreign planets or planes of exitsences through plane portals and thoroughly suck everything from the foreign planes, and enslave the inhabitants or experimenting on the slaves captured from other places. This world had no such systems such as democracy or anything it was ruled by the mage families. For example his current continent was ruled by the Darkhold mage family, they were a group of necromancers, with a rank 4 lich sitting in charge. This world was solely ruled by strength, where the highest in command where strongest, a world where the law of the jungle is fully supported by the mage families. Mortals here were treated like no more than cattle, if the mortal were to have magical affinities, he would be invited into mage towers or academies to become on of the arcana mages. But for the rest of the normal people , they were treated as livestock, living solely for the sake of giving the arcana mages new seedlings so that they can be an evergrowing war machine. 

According to the library of the family, Arcana mages also live longer depending on their specialities, for standard rank 1, they usually live between 200 years and rank 2 lives for 400 years, rank 3 live 800 years. However when you reach rank 4, you start to understand laws of the world, undergoing a qualitative change and they usually live between two thousand to ten thousand years. 

" Young master lucas, your father is calling for you" said one of the servants who came into his room while he was contemplating what he learned over the course of 6 years when he first came into this cruel, unforgiving world.
