Inside a manor building, a faint breathing and mumbling could be heard echoed in a dark Victorian style bedroom with high ceiling and four poster bed.
Lying on the bed is a strange sick child not older than fourteen years old. Looking pale and thin.
After awhile, the child rose up suddenly, looking around confuse with a glint of fear in his eyes.
"Urge, my head hurts so badly."
There, a white haired boy sitting down on the bed, holding his head while trying to make sense of his situation.
Thinking: "…..I'm alive! God, that was one hell of a fall. Falling from a cliff mountain all in the name of skydiving to feel the rush of excitement ain't worth. Who would have know the equipment was faulting?"
After noticing the room he was in, looking around at things, structures that haven't existed in his world after the last 500 years.
"Where am…. I?"
He froze for a moment.
"Wait, …..Why do I sound like a kid, now?"
Suddenly, he feels something is wrong with his body and looked down, noticing his thin, pale looking small hands and legs under the blanket, he was shocked beyond repair.
"Don't tell me, did I reincarnated and become younger as well?"
He stood up and run to the next smaller size door which he assumed would be the rooms bathroom. Feeling weak as he ran, he got inside the room, noticing the gigantic bathtub and mirror. Looking at himself at the mirror, he was stunned by his beautiful short white hair that glitters as silver while caught in sunlight and his stunning ocean blue eyes with a faint dark spiral ring in it.
"Damn, I'm fucking handsome!! But while am I so weak and looking an HIV patient who haven't eating in like three years?"
All of a sudden, he scream holding his head that feeling like someone is plunging a fat big hammer through tinny hole of his penis. With a sudden in flow of memories that didn't belong him but the previous owner of his body.
He saw the owner was named Chronos Archbold, who is Nefthis Archbold's son and a few months younger than Lorain Archbold, adopted daughter of Nefthis. He fell into a coma when Lorain opened his Jet-black core after he pestered her to do it for him even when his mother told him to wait until he was mature enough. Because she was scared he was going to inherit her abilities and do something stupid to threaten his life. And unfortunately he did! After his core was open he tried casting some spell from an old time magic time he found under the shelf of his mum's office. Spell went haywire which end ups extinguishing soul as fuel for the power spell and lucky, my soul entered his empty vessel.
After the incident, Lorain was taking to kizen to begin her heir studies and he was hidden within the neutral zone, away from Kizen politics and potential enemies who wouldn't look at the neutral zone to expect Nefthis son living here.
Only him and Jane Olivia has been staying here for the past six months taking care of him and now, he was up! It time to face the world and see what it has to offer him.
After leaving the bathroom, he was shocked seeing Jane starring at him in strange way.
Fuck!! When did she enter my room? Did she notice I'm not him??... wait calm down chronos, be normal and act like Chronos.
I greeted: "….hmm, hello Aunt Jane..??" Still sounding awakard and trying to look more like my mischievous self, "Surprise, I'm up! Told you nothing can hold the son of Nefthis down"
After what felt like years, she move towards me and me trying not to look terrify, was drag into a tight hug that nearly squeeze out the air in my lungs.
She brush my hair and hug me tight. I whispered "I'm okay and thank you for looking after me"
After releasing me, she went off scolding me, yelling and pinning my ears on how dangerous it was conducting a spell without supervision and formal training and how dangerously close I was in killing myself. Funny thing, Chronos was actually dead but I'm in my right senses not telling her that, if not, I'll find myself in a dark laboratory in Kizen with my chest open and beating.
When the whole scolding was done, I was asked to come down stairs to have my dinner. Left alone in my room, I started thinking of what I would have myself do in this dangerous world with a big red target at my back for being the son of Nefthis and ditch dead father which my mother has been so adamant of not telling me who he was.
List:
1. Eat
2. Train my physical body (God, I look so thin and pale like a corpse)
3. Train my Jet-black with Aunt Jane
4. Pester my mom to teach me time magic
5. Apologies to Lorain
6. Try to find way to become immune to holy magic
7. Investigates my dead beat father and origin
Okay, time for to go downstairs and start living.
Walking out of my room and seeing the Victorian wealthy style corridor plated with golden and black color and smelling rich. I was so delighted for reincarnating into a wealthy and powerful family with so many opportunities present for me to explore. Walking down the corridor with the memories of Chronos to guide me to the dining room, I passed what looks liked a locked and keyed library. Well, I guess they are trying to keep me out of it to avoid another magical accident.
Reaching the dinning room, with different kinds of flavors waffling out of the room intoxicating my hungry and rumbling stomach, I started to salivate before seeing the meal. Stepping into the room, I noticed a table trying to stand tall with all the weighty different delicacy on top it and Aunt Jane sitting down across the table like a warlord diving territories among his subjects. She raise up her head with her gorgeous light drinking black hair framing her face and look at me with her forever stern face and stunning eyes nodding towards me to take my sit and eat.
After sitting down with a grace like etiquette that was drill into me by her. I started eating like a ravenous salvages and throwing anything like noble etiquette out the window. After eating a mountainous of foods meant to feed a whole Brooklyn NYC homeless people for years, stop and look up only to notice Jane starring at me with a strict motherly smile.
"So, I contacted your mom, Nefthis" she said. Now, starring at her with wide weird eye, waiting for her to continue. "She said; I should stayed with you till your sixteenth birthday before leaving you to fend for yourself. So if there's anything you require from me, now's your time to request it"
Before she could finished talking, I opened my mouth with food flying out of it like a fool "I want you to make me strong enough to survive" God, I sounded like a hyperactive child
She looked at me, "Well, I'm not allowed to teach you anything about your innate magic and you're even forbidden to practice it. But first let's get meat on those bones of yours before doing anything stranous and exhausting." Then, she stood up and left. And I was all alone with empty plates of food with no servant or help to clean the dishes. Fuck, did she just ran away from doing the dishes? Not dishes again.
