Reincarnation of the Youngest son
A Prominent family that dominates half of the world, The Aillios Family. A famous family whose members are born with both strong physiques and outstanding talent have ruled over the world with overwhelming power. Power, Conquer, and Control, these three things describe everything about this family, and that was the family I was born into.
I’m Julius Aillios, the youngest son of the Aillios Family. In the “Selection” Ceremony where the future of the Aillios child is decided, I chose the sword of the family’s head meaning I’ll be the one who will become the family head. I had thought that my future would be filled with success and fame, but…I had zero talent in swordsmanship. How can someone from the Aillios Family like me be so terrible at wielding a sword? “Aillios’s Embarrassment” “Aillios’s Disgrace” Someone who’s far below the standards of the Aillios. The idiot of the Aillios Family.
As a result of this, My brothers bullies me. My pathetic non-existent talent…I thought that talent isn’t just everything…that I just need to work harder. If I “work harder” then eventually I’ll receive recognition from my family and become part of the Aillios. That was what I’ve always believed until the day when I was banished from the family at the age of 25 and started to wander around recklessly and without any destination.
That was around the time where I had met “Master” and that’s when I knew that I did have talent. I have a talent for magic, which was forbidden by the family. Three years after I was banished, a spirit appeared. Kaiser, the master of all shadows, proposed a contract to me as the god of all shadows. I was told that my talent for swordsmanship was sealed and cursed, a curse known as the “Sword Illusion” that suppresses talent for swordsmanship. And that was the day where I signed a contract with Kaiser.
It was just like what Kaiser had said, every time I picked up my sword, I was able to achieve new heights. The worst idiot in history of the Aillios Family has ceased to exist. I had hopes, but it was all crushed when I woke up and found myself underneath the crumbles of buildings. If it was going to be like this, why was I…given a chance…?
I closed my eyes, It just felt that a few seconds had passed by. I open my eyes, seeing…baby hands…? Huh…? Surrounding me were the people of…the family? What the hell is happening right now? I definitely died, though…
A voice came from above. It was Daria, why is she here? Looking forward…there were thousands of swords on the ground. That sword is…Aetherius. It’s the selection ceremony. I’ve returned to the past as the one year old baby, Julius Aillios. I took up the sword coincidentally in my previous life, but in this life…I will make my own choice.
