《AROWNE'S REBIRTH》 meeting the messanger "WOW!! it really happened" the mc said in wonder as he showed a joyous face, see, the hero of this story is special, in fact he is not of this world ''i never thought rebirth could possible'' see i told you the guy is reborn *clap* clap *clap*, as for how did i know?, that will require me to introduce myself, ladies and gentlemen in front of you iiis, THEEEE NARRATOOOOOR, so it is obvious i know a lot of stuff about the story, don''t question it, just accept it and as to introduce the mc a little and how he came to be a legendary reincarnator, we will mentally influence the guy into a flashback, now concentrate, i call upon the power invested upon me let there be a flashback ''if i remember right i met...'' #FLASHBACK begin# #FLASHBACK end# just to be clear i am no god just a humble narrator so let us continue #FLASHBACK begin# in a place where souls of a certain special plane of existence are sent to, a place between life and after-life, a soul was waiting for a long time, here in this place the concept of time and any other concept is complicated, a year could elapse in a second, a day could last an eternity so when i say a long time, don''t try to put a number on it, take it as it is, the logic behind the work of such things is beyond the comprehension of weak mortals such as you, so don''t hurt yourself thinking about it the soul was just there in a state of hibernation, unaware of anything and suddenly a beam of light approached it, and the area around them stabilized, then the beam morphed and took the form of a human, strong and healthy wearing an unadorned single cloth, that covers it quite well, and then the stabilized area turned into a square room with a single chair on top of which the now light turned human sat waiting for the soul to awaken after not so long the soul started to stir and awoke "...."the soul just stayed silent so the beam, lets call it that, began the conversation "i know that you are a little confused, but you are dead" the the soul replied"oook, so i died.... that seems to be the truth but i can''t remember how, well its not important, so are we going on about it,am i going to be judged for my sins or religion, i was pretty religious in my life time" the beam nodded wisely and said"indeed, in normal occasions your judgement would have started now till the ultimate judgment, after all this is the trend of this world but you my friend got the chance of rebirth" the soul just kept quite listening to what the beam had said "good! you seem to be an intelligent fellow, i am a messenger from the creator i was tasked to supervise this rebirth of yours, like the novels you loved to read, and get a gift" he posed and took out a sphere filled with a milky liquid and continued saying "you can chose a gift and this sphere here will empty in the proportion of that gift, and once your choice is made you can allude to the world you can be reborn to" the soul took time to digest the info and then made it''s decision based on the prior knowledge of novels and stuff, and then said "i am pretty sure that you know that even though i was good, and did good deeds in my previous life, i am an evil person, so i am kind of confused as to why the creator would give me such an opportunity" the messenger answered "indeed,the creator know of the unseen, he has all knowledge,for knowledge comes from the creator, who are we to question his decisions, as the creation hears, we obey" then the soul asked"so where do i chose from?" the messenger answered "formulate a wish and it shall be granted" then the soul said again"ok, an RPG system"as he said that a third of the liquid was consumed" i expected that the liquid would be spent already as the system is quite OP, next i would like to have my intellect, wisdom and comprehension improved to genius levels, and to have a skill that can scan the properties of anything, and have good talent in everything"the liquid reached 40%, it was written on it by the way, this is no wild guess Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. then the soul asked"from what you said, there is judgment for me in this world, will there be in other worlds as well?" the messenger answered"yes, all will be held accountable for their transgressions, no matter which world they belong to and to whatever rules they adhere to, for they had been warned" the soul thought about it and made one last wish"i would like to not be held accountable for any bad and evil deed and transgression i do" the messenger answered"the last wish you had made is over the cota" the soul was dejected as it was a good way to avoid punishment and subconsciously said"so there is no way around that?" the messenger answered" if there are limitations on the gifts, it may be possible to have a weak variation on the last one" the soul was overjoyed and said"OK!! let''s do it,you can put limitations, the wishes were very powerful to begin with, don''t want to get OP too fast" the messenger nodded and said"which type of world do you want to be reborn to" the soul said"i have already decided on that, the world that i want had to be similar to the magic/cultivation world''s, and the energy that is used on that world should be versatile and in abundance, depending on the way you use it, it would give different effects, in this world the strength that i gain should be my own and not dependent, there should also be multiple realms and worlds that one can go and conquer and get more resources from, the world should also offer a power system that is compatible with other power systems, or able to assimilate them" the messenger"you will loose your memories, and regain them at the age of 5, farewell" and so we get back to our mc #FLASHBACK end# ''aaah! that''s what happened. wait i forgot to ask him what changed has been made to the wishes, F-uck!! now i have to explore the changes'' the mc thought and here it comes, there it is, it is coming, the legendary mc introduction monologue ''anyway, i better forget about that now and start going over the memories of the past 5 years, i live in Falkirk town in the Vutia Empire, my name is Arowne no last name cause i am a commoner, more specifically i was a servant in the Falkrik household it is a pretty powerful family and possesses a big piece of land, it could be considered a medium sized family in terms of power in this empire, so as i said i was a servant, my mother apparently sold me just after i was born for a few copper, as i grew up i showed to be very smart, strong and talented, so i was raised to be the personal guard of the young master Alastair, the heir of this family who is 1 year younger than me, i was required to follow him from the day he was born and being lectured on general knowledge and how i should devote myself to protect him and sacrifice my life for him when needed of course i call bullsh-it, do they really think that i will adhere to their demands, i will only go along the flow till i am strong enough to go on my way, i am a free spirit and don''t enjoy obeying orders, giving them is more fun anyway, i was tall for my age, hazel eyes, thick black wavy hair, well defined facial features, you could already see the outline of a handsome man so that''s about it to summarize my situation" CHAP2: Check out the System so after arowne speedily went through this last five years memories, he went into checking on what he received from the messenger, after all, he didn''t know how much restrictions were put on the things he wished for ''let''s see, i have to first check on the system'' he thought and just as he finished the thought a transparent panel appeared on his vision, it was white with black writing

''i see so it was activated when i thought about it, that''s neat i will at least not be like a fool calling out loud, but i can see how restricted this system is, so the most important level up by killing is gone, increasing attributes with points is gone as well, no inventory, no system store, no HP or MP and from what i first seen on the status page, the other things i wished for were not restriction, so i can assume that i wasn''t far off from meeting the requirement of the last wish and only the system was touched now many would find it weird for me to sacrifice so much for the last wish, but i was pretty religious and still am, so i strongly believe of the punishment in the afterlife, and in worlds like these you don''t survive and thrive by being honest and such, and to be fair i am tired of being good, i have an evil nature that needs to be unleashed so now i need to go over the status screen and see what everything means'' yeah i know another info dump, but it is the start and it is expected, so the man no kid tried to tap on the screen and nothing happen, if seen by another he will be thought to be crazy, cause seeing someone taping in empty air is not the normal thing to do right?, ''it seems that the panel is not tactile'' no sh*it bruh This book''s true home is on another platform.

[Strong soul: byproduct of your previous universe and reincarnation, give many benefits like resistance to slave contracts] WOW! that was a lot of info dump, i think i went asleep in the middle of it, i mean how can someone be so bored to read all this shit anyway, back to protagonist ''that was quite informative, this system although not that helpful could help track my progress, and there is even that status which can be a lifesaver, if i was poisoned i will know it from that section at least it is not completely useless and the Perks are really powerful, not right now but they are a good foundation to my future strength as for race it seems that it gives quite an advantage, i can chose literally any attribute and it will upgrade to high'' and we rap up he went to sleep, it wasn''t mentioned in the beginning but it is the middle of the night and he''s a kid so bye bye CHAP3: Training waking up early in the morning to the cries of roosters was a new experience for him, after all he was from the city and roosters were rare after he woke up, he was required to go to the training area, the servants usually wake up earlier than the masters and start cleaning up the estate and do what servants do for our young Arowne, as he was supposed to be the guard of the heir of the family, he started his training early, when he made it to 5 years, he no longer had to follow Alasteir like a shadow but had to start his training to be his guard as he reached the minimum age, for alasteir he also started his training but separately from him and the other youngsters in a private courtyard, the young master was not as talented as our Arowne, just average but he gets to practice in a secret family technique and enjoy resources like meat from magical beasts and high quality medicinal herbs and medicinal baths and such things you can see the disparity between them, our protagonist and the other youngsters could only enjoy the leftovers so back to topic, after making his way to the training field, some other future guards were waiting for the instructor to come, and as time was ticking others came in as well, and in 2 minutes everyone was there, while waiting Arowne decided to do some stretching before they began training, as he was stretching he remembered one of his regrets from his previous life it was legs flexibility, he always regretted not working on that, now in this life and since he is still young, he will use the knowledge of videos he watched on the how to and be as flexible as can be, not to mention that flexibility is a great boon in martial arts so he decided to work on the flexibility of the whole body as he was stretching and warming up the instructor was seen coming and everyone lined up, backs straight and eyes trained on the front when the instructor arrived he gazed at the trainees and counted 20, then he gave the order loudly "go put on your gear and start running, last one get half a share of food, first get twice" and so, with the signal everyone started gearing up, the gear was just a basket with straps filled with rocks, the weight was adjusted by the instructor for each one of them, if it gets easy he adds more and so everyone was having a hard time, the instructor didn''t even have a shred of mercy and didn''t care if the effort would break the young bodies of the children, he just kept pushing them, hhard This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. running stopped being a physical activity but a battle of wills, in the beginning of Arowne''s training their were 50 trainees now, it went down to 20 so you could guess how hard it was to do this training, the survivors would be the leaders, the elites and the losers become ordinary guards or normal servant after an hour of running the instructor shouted again "now gather up" after the sweating kids took positions he continued shouting "5 years old give me 20 squats and jumps and the older kids add 20 to that for each year older, now! get to work" and let me remind you that this is while still having those weights on after everyone was done he gave the next instruction "5 years old give me 10 pushups and the older kids add 5 to that for each year older, if you don''t complete them your meal will be cut by half" that''s tough man how are they even alive, are they monster, oh! i forgot we are on another world so old world norms go to the drain and then it went on for 2 hours till breakfast, and he doesn''t get tired from repeating the sentence, he got some thick skin, i give him that everyone was gasping for air and shaking from exhaustion and after a few minutes of rest the instructor yelled again to the crowd "gather up and put the equipment back to their places the head back to the dining hall after showering" after the shout everyone scattered with shaking steps to the shed where equipment were stored and headed to the well, they took turns getting the water and washing up speedily using a crude soap, and after a change of clothes and dropping their smelly ones by the washing crew, they went to the servant hall for breakfast, by this time everyone in the household was awake and catering to their jobs all the personnel was required to finish eating before the masters so that they could attend to their needs, the breakfast was a loaf of bread and a large bowl of vegetable soup and a cup of water, and guess who won the race and aced the training afterwards, of course it''s Arowne, it seems that being highly talented is very helpful after all due to this world customs the poor have only two large meals a day one in the morning and the other before sunset, and after a hard training the mc was ravenous, he devoured his double portion, he even got a slice of meat, and of course don''t forget the last on the race he got only half a portion when they finished eating, everyone dispersed to do their work, and so Arowne left to go attend to Alastaire so far so good,the first day started very well CHAP4: patriarch announcement after the breakfast Arowne was required to go attend to alasteir, he checked the time on the system [7:32:56] ''the young master should be close to finishing his training by now'' and so he went to the private court yard after fetching his sword, and waited by the entrance for the master and young master to get out along side other servants, and at around 7:45 the doors were open and they went to the dining hall see the family estate was huge and contained lots of houses and courtyards, if we use earths common sense, rather than calling it estate it would rather be a village as they were heading to the hall the servants followed behind respectfully, and when they made it there, the master and young master headed to the highest table, in the Falkirk family, it is strictly hierarchical, the patriarch of the family at the top then elders then the patriarchs family, then the elders family, followed by the ordinary members and then the personal guards, the guards and lastly the other servants and so the dinning hall was made respecting that norm, there are tow raised platforms, the highest for the leader and his family, the second for the elders and their family, and the rest of the hall for the ordinary members every member is allowed one personal servant, but only important members can have tow, one personal guard and a normal servant and the other servants are distributed along the estate as seen fit, i don''t see the need to delve deeper as it is not relevant to the story once the hall was full, the dishes were put forth by the servants of each member, they received a proper breakfast, it was the same but the quality differed, the patriarch and his family got the best quality food, magical beast milk, sausages, and rare quality bread and cheese then the elders got the same magical beast milk and sausage, and uncommon quality bread and cheese while the other ordinary family got ordinary beast milk and sausage, and common quality bread and cheese, now most of you would say, whats the difference, well let me educate you, you see the grades of item and food are separated by different factors, for consumables mainly the energy quality present in the item, followed by the nutrition value of the food, medicinal efficacy for herbs, potions and pills the grades goes like this from worst to best: 1.common-> 2.uncommon-> 3.rare -> 4.unique -> 5.legendary -> 6.mythical -> 7.earthly -> 8.heavenly and then their are other higher grades that are not relevant to us now, it is like we would probably not come by any of them, even the top three grade we will not see them that much, they are like extremely super duper hard to find and after they were done eating the patriarch made his leave with the elders and then followed by their families and then it was the ordinary members turn, and all that was left was the servants now, it should be a normal thing if not for the tense atmosphere that was emanating from them, why so? you ask, cause there is an unwritten rule that everyone follow, the dog is entitled to his masters leftovers the food that was presented to the family members was not something that simple, the servant were only having the lowest quality of food, so when presented with the opportunity to have even the crumbs that are left or even to lick the fat that was left on the plate, they will not let it pass by Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. cause even that has a great energy and nutrition to the body, especially so for the guards, this world is where the strong eat the weak, it may not be visible in the ordinary world of normal people, but in the martial world it is so apparent even a blind person could see it so as soon as the masters left the hall, everyone jumped onto the masters plate and started eating the leftovers,of course our Arowne had to share his meal with the other servant but he got a bigger share, the energy was too much for the other servant, another thing to add is that the only reason he got strong that fast and earned first place in the morning training was due to this high energy food, it was not all due to his talent alone "aaaah!" Arowne exhaled in content ''really, no matter how much i taste it, it never gets boring, i look forward to the time that i will enjoy such food as much as i want to, or maybe something even more delicious'' you could see him drool as he thought that after cleaning up the plates, the normal servants tidied up the hall, and the personal guards went to do their duties, as for arowne he went to join the young master for his morning classes as a personal guard, he was required to learn basic things like reading, writing, arithmetic, and even some advanced classes like etiquette and proper speech, Arowne took every opportunity he could get to get close to the young master and show his loyalty, the cunning bastard hhhhhh and so, time ticked in till lunchtime where they headed back to the dining hall, and things went as usual till the end, where an unexpected thing happened after they were done eating, everyone waited for the patriarch to leave, and as he stood up, he did not leave but raised his voice and made an announcement "everyone, today i have the joy to inform you that my wife is pregnant again,CHEERS!"he raised his wine glass """CHEERS!!!"""everyone replied the patriarch had other children apart from alastaire, they just weren''t from the main wife, they were either from concubines or bastards from female servants, he tried with the main wife many times with no results, so you could see how lecherous he is and now that she is pregnant again he was very happy, he hoped to get a talented boy, unlike alastaire who was just average and even the lowest average he had seen, if not for the resources that was wasted on him he would have been surpassed long ago by his more talented peers its not that he didn''t have other talented children, like the boy with the 2nd concubine and other such examples, they just weren''t from the main wife, so they couldn''t inherit the seat of patriarch, and with the elders eyeing his position like wolves, her pregnancy was a gift from the ancestors the patriarch thought ''it would be great if the child is very talented, and got to keep an eye on those wolves for any assassination attempt'' as he finished that thought, he even eyed arowne from the corner of his eyes ''why couldn''t he be mine'' well it is understandable, he was intelligent, and very talented not to mention very handsome, well you could now get how devious this person is, really worthy of being the patriarch and within all this no one noticed the crafty light that passed by the mc''s eyes ''SO CLICHE!!!'' Arowne screamed in his mind as plans started formulating in his mind CHAP5 after the patriarch made the announcement he left and after the hall emptied, it was the servants time to shine what was on the menu in today''s lunch, was a simple dish, some blue rice with shredded meat that got black spots, and no it was not burnt, the thing is like that, along with some veggies, well that was how it looked before, now whats left is around tow spoonfuls of rice and a piece of meat {the dish: https://d3cizcpymoenau.cloudfront.net/images/23463/SFS_ropa_vieja-56.jpg} ''this look weird... who cares, eat now worry later'' the mc thought after glaring at the other servant threateningly, Arowne took the piece of meat, and the other servant took a little of the rice while the mc licked the plate clean after that he went to the training field where he will receive the cultivation technique from the instructor Arowne didn''t know much about the cultivation world, the only thing he knew was that there are tow paths of power, the warriors and the magi, most people don''t have the qualification to become magi, so most of the cultivation world was populated by the warriors and little was known about magi apart from their powerful spells ''not much is known about the magi, so it is better to focus on what i can do, and that is being a warrior, at least this path is available to me now'' he thought well said(thought), i couldn''t put it better, i think that i like this guy, don''t you agree with me *awkward silence*, yeah keep ignoring me you B-t-ches anyway, back to topic, Arowne arrived to the training field and found that there were people waiting there, few of them were of the morning exercise and the rest were bastards and ordinary family members, he joined the group of morning exercise and then they waited for the instructor while waiting arowne thought ''the guy really enjoy making others wait'' So! True! after a few minutes the instructor arrived and he started shouting as usual "today, we are gathered here cause you were deemed worthy by the family, you will be thought the secret falkirk cultivation technique but before that what is cultivation, cultivation is discipline, dedication, strength, it all boils down to strength, DDS in the world that we live in, the strong eats the weak, if you have strength, then you could have everything you want but how do we gain that strength, our ancestors lived in fear of the beasts, unlike us humans, they were born strong and naturally inclined to the cultivation path and so as to escape that state, they learned from the beasts, and created cultivation technique, that... was the birth of martial arts without the sacrifices that our ancestors made, we couldn''t have taken a piece of the land that was once and still is populated by those beasts but even though we humans were not born inclined to cultivation, our bodies have within them treasures to be explored we cannot absorb the energy of the world like the beasts and plants only magi are exeptions, but with the effort our ancestors put into the cultivation techniques we could use the energy within the food that we eat and cultivate This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. to start cultivation one has to be aware of the veins inside our bodies, they are the pathways through which nourishment, and the essence of our bodies blood moves" emphasize on the blood word "the journey of cultivation start by controlling that blood, how fast it flows, how much nourishment it can hold, and for that we need breathing exercises, second step would be training the flesh by straining it as much as possible to build strength, speed, and endurance we do that by following a set of moves that are named routine, the next step would be to strengthen your health by strengthening your viscera, and that can be accomplished by combining the previous breathing techniques and routine and finally comes the bone forging, this step is harder to do as the bones are the core of our bodies, without them holding us together, we will not be able to move or speak or anything, the bones can only be strengthened through a combination of external stimulus and internal stimulus, the first is by hitting the body to accumulate kinetic energy and the second is by fist arts that manipulates that kinetic energy and forge the bones, like a blacksmith forges steel it is here that the journey of warriors begin, once a human made it to his maximum potential, martial arts comes into play, they further stimuli your blood and start condensing what is called the pulse, it is a type of energy that further strengthen the body and and permit a warrior to execute skills like power leap, power punch and power kick to mention a few of the basic ones, and this stage is called pulse condensation and after that comes the battle qi refinement stage, it is a more powerful type of energy refined from the pulse, it is quite versatile and has more application than the pulse, the falkirk martial arts focus on the sword, so you should expect to form sword qi at this stage it is to be noted that if pulse is mist, battle qi is water and then there are the eight gates stage, our clan patriarch is at this stage" after finishing his long monologue he started demonstrating the cultivation technique from breathing technique to battle qi refinement and he stopped there, he repeated the whole process five times and then started leaving, but one person from the crowd shouted toward the instructor "instructor aren''t you going to teach us how to break through the eight gates" then he turned around and stood silent for a moment and then replied "the method to break through the eight gates is only known by the patriarch and elder families, as for us servants and the ordinary members, they are not allowed to learn them" before he turned around to leave again another question was asked "what stage are you in instructor?" and he replied proudly "i am at mid battle qi refinement, few in the empire are at this stage so you could guess how hard it is to reach this stage" and he demonstrated by lunching a sword light at the ground a forming a deep cut on it and then more questions were asked and the instructor replied before leaving others to practice, this day marked the beginning of our hero''s journey CHAP6 this was the start of the journey of cultivation, after the instructor left to his corner on the field, impatient, Arowne quickly sat down against a tree, closed his eyes and started following the breathing pattern of the falkirk cultivation technique and after a few minutes of breathing in that way Arowne felt strained and stopped breathing in that way on this first try Arowne didn''t feel any difference in his blood, in fact he didn''t even feel it, it was just that he was tired after that, as if he ran a marathon in his previous world and after opening his eyes he noticed that the sun changed position, asking the people around he found out that he had been at it for 1 hour, thing is he felt that only 5 minutes elapsed and that''s when he felt the wonders of cultivation, it was really a mysterious thing, to cultivate, and when Arowne wanted to start the breathing exercise again, he couldn''t even after taking a break and wanting to start again he couldn''t, before doing anything else he called his ''status screen''

after checking his status he thought ''i don''t know but i have a strong feeling that mental attribute has a role on how long or how much i can practice the breathing exercise'' and so after making that deduction he decided to go and ask the instructor "greetings sir, i have a question to ask of you" he said then the instructor replied "go ahead young one" all the while he kept a piercing gaze at our poor Arowne while he thought ''hmmm, truly talented, to be able to practice the breathing technique on the first day for 1 hour, a very good talent'' Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! "Sir, i was doing the breathing exercise earlier, and after finishing i felt very tired, so i took a rest and after recovering a little i intended to give it another go but couldn''t even after trying multiple times, could you please enlighten me sir?" still keeping that aggressive gaze he replied "very well, in the Warrior path one need a strong will and a strong vigor, so when one start to practice he will consume one of the tow and when they are spent then no matter how much you rest it will not recover fast enough, the most efficient way to recover them is through sleep or medicine or food, for the will it is used when practicing breathing technique, it is believed that when one is doing the breathing exercise his concentration is at its peak and that put a lot of stress on ones spirit wich consumes your will, it was recorded that in many cases where people tried to overcome their limits and ended up in best cases unconscious and worst cases idiots and as for the vigor, it is the essence of our bodies, it is the potential which we draw from to strengthen our selves as warriors, and so it is very important to maintain it by sleep and food or medicine so for most warriors that lack resources they train in their cultivation arts once, while depending on the grade of medicine used one can train for longer and multiple times a day" "thank you sir, and if the warriors train only once what can they do to get stronger" Arowne asked "good question, for us warriors we don''t only have cultivation but martial arts as well, those mystic art are a very important part of a cultivation technique but also independent, they can be used in fighting as well so we practice them and master them as much as we can, one of the strongest warriors in history once said *i do not fear a warrior who practiced countless fighting techniques but one that has practiced one fighting technique countless times* so every warrior should always take martial arts seriously" Arowne thought ''well that resembles a quote from a kungfu master from my previous world, interesting '' what a ripoff buuuuu i say and so the instructor closed his eyes as a sign for Arowne to leave, and as soon as he came back the instructor was flooded with people asking questions, at this the instructor scowled even more deeply, but inside he was delighted, hard on the outside soft in the inside, unlike the protagonist that is always scheming inside, and portraying the image of an obedient kid so as he got what he wanted he immediately went into a corner and started punching according to falkirk style, as well as thinking about the future, this place is just a remote one where resources, even though not scarce, they are not up to bar, the highest medicine for example is only rare, in the entire empire so you could guess about how bad it is, and to cement this further check what the ''scan'' had to say about the cultivation technique practiced by our protagonist [falkirk cultivation technique: a cultivation manual made by the ancestor falkirk, and had been perfected by the successive generations of the falkirk family, it is of common grade, capable of achieving up to the eight gates stage, this manual even though is the highest grade among trash, it is still trash, but could lay foundation for a better one in the future, final assessment : TRASH] ''sigh what a shitty place i started in, and it is even considered one of the best cultivation techniques in the empire'' even more reason to leave CHAP7 it has been years since that fateful day where our protagonist started his journey on the warrior path, and during that time a lot of changes happened the first was that the patriarch had twins, a boy and a girl, both very talented, the boy is a genius martial artist while the girl had high fire affinity how did i know, well ''scan'' of course, as soon as Arowne saw them, he used his skill on them, and it gave him those results, of course for me i already knew that, but there is no need to spoiler myself, right?*blink*blink* so as soon as the twins john and joana were five, the boy started showing his amazing talent that was even better than our protagonist, and as for the girl she didn''t show any signs of magic, but her temper clearly showed her affinity, simple terms she was hot tempered and very moody and explosive, also very impulsive which brought a lot of problems, so our protagonist avoided her as much as possible, she was known as a tyrant in the town well that was until 2 years ago when a mysterious man was walking by the town and notice the little miss, and she disappeared from then of course our protagonist don''t know a thing about what happened to her but he had an assumption, due to the announcement of the patriarch that stated that she was accepted by a master for her talent so he couldn''t be called a reincarnator if he didn''t deduct that, specially with his increased intellect, so the man was probably a mage and he took her away to some organization as his disciple or what not as for why Arowne wasn''t noticed by some passing by mage?, the poor thing just wasn''t as lucky as she was anyway due to the discovery of a better future heir, the young master was neglected little by little, and no one was paying attention to him anymore, and as our protagonist faked his loyalty to him, Arowne was neglected as well, despite his talent in fear of rebellion and internal strife between the sibling so as soon as john''s talent was discovered, everyone in the familly started acting against him, weakening his faction and strengthening that of john till there was no one on his side except for Arowne and so the relationship between the tow started growing exponentially, and they became super close, but with the weakening of alastair''s side, the resources invested in him became lesser, so Arowne needed to find an alternative, and before alastair''s influence became null, he made his way into the kitchen why the kitchen you ask? well, one needs nutrition if one wants to progress rapidly in the warrior path and where is food prepared? the kitchen of course Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. and now it has been ten years that Arowne started on the warrior path and he made great progress, he is 15 and on the peak of the body forging stage, only a step away from the pulse condensation at first when he entered the kitchen he was at the bottom of the food chain no pun intended, but with the experience he had from his previous life in cooking he made incredible progress and climbed to being a proper cook and as he showed such talent in cooking the kitchen chief took notice of him, and started paying attention to him and took him as an apprentice, and in tow years he climbed to the elders table''s cook while helping a little on the patriarch table and with such ingredients to prepare, one could not help but be tempted, and the other cooks including the chief and Arowne were no saints, so it is obvious that some embezzlement happened so our guy profited a lot from this new situation, even though on the surface it appeared as though he was on the loosing end ''how can such people that are only interested in the short term gains understand my great undertaking, how short sighted these people are'' Arowne thought arrogantly for our mc the falkirk family isn''t the goal, it is only the first stepping stone along the line, so it is of no matter if he lost his standing in this family, cause in the grand scheme of things he will win, he is working under the slogan of ''losing the battle and winning the war'' the greatest problem he is facing right now is his freedom, the very first time he was sold to this family he lost it, and he already has a way in mind to gain it back, for you see even though he is labeled as servant, his real status in this family, no in this kingdom is a slave and yes slavery exist in this world, the only saving grace he has is that magic is weak in this empire, so a magic slave contract are not used here, but he is still registered as a slave so no matter where he goes in this empire he will always have this tag behind his back the only way he could get rid of it is by getting strong enough, or getting freed by the owner aka falkirk family, or leaving this kingdom all together the first needs time and resources, the first is a given but the latter is hard to get with the slave status limiting him, getting freed is just pipe dream, so that leaves us with the last option which is the best, he gets rid of the falkirk family, his current status and can be free to hunt for resources as he pleases, the only problem he will be facing is starting from scratch but that is of no problem, he is from another world where people think outside the box, so he will not be limited by the view of the natives of this world and will manage
