That night, while the household slept, Elias couldn't contain his curiosity. He had spotted a stack of books in the corner earlier and now pulled one out. Its title read Basic Magic for Beginners.
He flipped through the pages, fascinated. One spell caught his attention—a simple fire conjuring spell.
"It says it's easy," he muttered. "But magic isn't supposed to work until I'm five…"
Unable to resist, he tried the incantation. "Ignis Flamma."
To his utter shock, a roaring flame erupted in front of him, illuminating the room in a fiery glow. Heart pounding, Elias quickly extinguished the fire, his tiny hands trembling.
"Did that really just happen?" he whispered, hiding under his bed in a mix of fear and exhilaration.
For the first time since his reincarnation, Elias felt a spark of excitement that overshadowed his confusion. This world held possibilities beyond anything he had ever imagined, and he was determined to explore every one of them.
