Mercurius Ernesh, a seventeen-year-old nature-loving Stoic, was different from his brothers, who were all warriors. They hated Mercurius and always teamed up to bully him because he was powerless. When he went to his father, he was also abused and called a "failed creation" instead of being addressed by his name.
Despite all of this, Mercurius did not fall into depression. He had fully controlled his mind and mastered the art of being emotionless. He was even locked in a cage with magical beasts by his father and mother. However, due to his calm mind and peaceful aura, the magical beasts did not attack him. Instead, they began to behave like well-trained guard dogs. Days turned into weeks, and the only food Mercurius received was soggy vegetable soup and salad, nothing more.
He could have escaped the cage by signing an agreement to become a warrior, but he never wanted to be one. He hated war because his only loved one, his mentor, had died in a war, suffering unbearable pain. His mentor, Shilong, was the only person who never got angry with him and praised him. The only time Mercurius had ever been praised was by Shilong. Even the guards of his territory showed him no respect. Before his mentor went off to war, where he died, he told Mercurius, "I don't know if I can get back on my feet, but don't cry or become depressed. Work hard and master your mind and emotions."
After Shilong's death at the age of fourteen, Mercurius devoted himself to controlling his mind and emotions, meditating every day. Three years passed, and Mercurius had mastered his mind and emotions, becoming a saint. He didn't believe in gods from outer space but believed that a true god resided within his own body. His only wish was to be reincarnated into a world without war or slave traders. However, he knew that no magic could fulfill this wish. He thought he would be caged for the rest of his life unless he signed the contract and became a warrior. But he could not bring himself to kneel before his father and take that path.
One day, while wandering along a road, a truck suddenly appeared, heading straight for him. It was the legendary "Truck Kun," as the author exclaimed. Mercurius and the truck collided, and when Mercurius opened his eyes, he found himself no longer in his old body. He instantly realized he had been reincarnated into a fantasy world.
He was in a house, standing in a room, and noticed his new body looked young, under twenty-five. As he scanned his surroundings, he saw many pictures of Greek gods, making him think that he had been reincarnated into a Greek nation. He went downstairs and saw a beautiful woman, assuming she was the wife of the man whose body he now inhabited.
The young woman spoke, "My lord, I have prepared your meal. Where would you like to eat?"
Mercurius thought to himself, "Huh, my lord? So I must be an aristocrat. This is much better than being a filthy warrior."
The young woman asked again, "Sir, where would you like to eat? Please tell me."
Mercurius replied, "Yes, please send it to my room. I will eat there."
He then returned to his room upstairs.
A maid arrived with the food, and as she was about to leave, Mercurius politely said, "Wait! Please come and sit. I want to talk to you."
The young lady was surprised because, in all her years of service, her young master had never once asked her to sit with him. Amazed, she sat down.
Mercurius asked, "Please tell me, what is my name? What is this country? Where am I? And what is my work?"
The young woman was taken aback, thinking that the young master had lost his memory. After a brief pause, she replied, "Your name is Heath Vader, and this nation is called Eldora. It's a Greek nation. You are from one of the top three noble families, the Vader family."
"Can I ask you something, young master Heath?" she added.
Mercurius (now Heath) replied, "Yes, ask whatever you want. There's no need to hesitate. You answered my questions, so now it's my turn to answer yours. By the way, please tell me your name."
The young woman smiled and said, "My name is Melanie Garp. Young master, did you lose your memory?"
Heath replied, "No, I was just asking how much you know about me. And what's the weather like outside? Could you take me outside of this building?"
Heath was surprised by his own words. He hadn't intended to ask about the weather or going outside, but it slipped out in the flow of conversation.
Melanie answered, "Okay, young master, I will take you outside, but you have a psychology lesson to read. Didn't you want to read that first?"
Heath understood why he had unconsciously mentioned the weather. He realized that he possessed an extraordinary understanding of human psychology, perhaps even dark psychology. He could manipulate others with just a few words.
Heath then asked, "Do people in this world have some kind of magic or something like that?"
Melanie replied, "In Eldora, only certain people, like kings and saints, have the ability to defend themselves against demons."
Heath asked, "Demons? Are you saying that demons and devils exist in this world?"
Melanie nodded. "Yes, are you unaware of that? Everyone knows that demons and devils reside in a territory known as the Dark Symbol Zone."
