Chapter 1: Reincarnation?

After dying and coming back to consciousness, I was lying in a Luxurious bed. I tried to remember what happened to Misaki.

"How Am I alive? Was this supposed to occur?What happened to Misaki?Is she alright? What did those terrorists do to her?”

My mind was full of these questions that couldn't be answered at the moment.

I quickly took a look at myself in the mirror that was beside the bed.

I stood in front of a mirror, looking at my reflection with confusion

My appearance was different from what I remember. I had teal eyes, grey hair, and decent clothes...But none of these were mine.

I was a child. I couldn't understand what was going on.

Was this a dream? It couldn't be real.

My mind buzzed with questions and confusion, but I couldn't make sense of any of it.

I had to find something to help me calm my mind, but I realized I didn't know where I was.

What was happening?

"No….This can't be"

I started to yell and shout, desperate on any answer or anything that make sense.I didn't want to accept or believe what i was seeing.

But,it was real.And I had no choice but to face it.I was  a child once more.

Suddenly a young woman dressed like a royalty entered the room.She stared at me with wide eyes.

"Is something wrong,did you hit your head again?"

She tilted her head, looking concerned.

"Again?wait that's not the point, Something is really wrong,A few moments ago,I was supposed to be a dead teenage boy.Now I'm a young child again"

I stared at the mirror in frustration trying to express the confusion and distress I felt.But it was so hard to accept the reality of what was happening. The Young lady sighed with a slight worry on her face then shouted.

"Mother!he got hit in the head again"

."Excuse me,what do you mean by 'hit in the head again?"

Asking the her for an answer.the young lady sighed and then looked away

."So you don't remember?".

"I'm afraid I don't"

"That's a shame,I thought you would.Very well then,I shall remind you of what happened a week ago."

“It was just the day we arrived at Lindova".

She pauses for a moment and Seems to be lost in thought.

"It was the day of 'our' arrival at Lindova.I was just about to enter the inn we booked when I suddenly heard a Loud bang and Someone screaming your name.I went towards the loud noise and to my surprise i saw you lying on the ground unconscious.Your friend Claire that was beside you was running towards me trying to explain what happened,it turns out that you hit yourself with your own magic.You were rushed to the doctor to check if you had any fatal injuries. Luckily you Didn't gain any of that but the doctor said that you were going to be in a deep slumber.And that's how you lost your consciousness for a very long time"

The young lady explained what happened to me.I was Confused on how that happened then asked.

"Is this really what happened?"

."Are you doubting your own sister?"The Young Lady replied.

"Sister?So let me get this straight, You're my sister?I don't even know your name"

"So you've also lost your memory?"

"What do you mean?Look I was a teenager and just so happened that I became a child.Also You've Avoided my Question about who you are"

.The young lady looked at me with disappointment on her face then sighed.

"Fine I'll introduce myself for you just because you're my favourite sibling.I'm Seraphina Grande.The oldest sibling of the House of Grandes"

."And who am I?" “

You're Elliot Grande,the youngest sibling"

  As I came to terms with my new reality, I tried to find the positives in being a child again. I was smaller and weaker than my previous self, but I also felt a sense of freedom and playfulness that I had never experienced before.

I decided to make the most of my situation, and explore this strange and beautiful world I had been brought into.

As I began to accept my new reality, I was curious about my new surroundings. I looked around the room, and took note of its luxurious furnishings. It was clear that my new life was going to have advantages that I had never seen before. As I took in the view, I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and excitement. Whatever lay ahead, I knew that it was going to be an adventure of a lifetime.

As my excitement grew, I decided to explore my new world and find out more about my family.

I stepped out of the bedroom, and the young woman named Seraphina Grande followed close behind. She seemed to be excited to show me around, as she smiled and began to explain the layout of the house. I was amazed at the size and grandeur of the place.

It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I was excited to learn more about the House of Grandes, and my new family.As we explored further, I began to notice strange and unusual things about the house. The furniture was made of strange materials, and there were items that I didn't recognize.

As I looked around in wonderment, Seraphina explained that the house was filled with magical objects, which were rare even in this world. The house and its inhabitants were anything but ordinary. I felt drawn to the mystery of it, and I couldn't wait to learn more.

"And this is our Grand Mansion, where we live."

Seraphina said, gesturing to the large mansion before us.

"The items within this place are all imbued with magic, so tread carefully."

."It's like every item in the house has its own special power."

I marvelled, unable to believe the amazing things I was seeing.

"It truly is extraordinary."

Seraphina smiled.

"Let me show you something."

She led me through the manor, pointing out the magical properties and functions of the various objects we encountered.

As we travelled throughout the house, we came across many bizarre and wonderful magical objects.

"And this is our family's library."

Seraphina explained.

"This room is filled with books, scrolls, and even some ancient tablets. A wealth of knowledge and wisdom is held here."

I was in awe of the vast collection of knowledge stored in this room, and wondered if I would ever be able to learn all of it.

"Here, try this."

Seraphina said, handing me a book.

"This book will teach you how to use some of this house's more basic magic."

As I flipped through the pages, I tried my hand at the basic spells I was reading. I managed to create small fires, move objects silently, and even make myself invisible for a short time.

"You must keep practicing."

Seraphina warned.

"This house's magic is powerful, and you need to learn how to control it before you can use it safely."

I nodded and kept practicing, slowly getting better with each try.Seraphina smiled,

"It seems that you've picked up the magic quickly."

As we continued through the house, I became more and more interested in the world I found myself in.

"Why are there so many strange magical objects in your house?"

"Where did they come from?"

"Our family has been collecting magical artifacts and spells for generations."

. "Our ancestors found many items while exploring the world, and they brought them home to study. Some of the objects were brought back when our family visited different lands and kingdoms too."

"Why are you helping me so much?"

I asked.

"I'm just a random stranger who appeared out of nowhere, so why are you being so kind to me?"

"Because you are my little brother."

. "I can tell you're lonely and confused by everything happening to you, so I want to help you as much as I can."

I felt a surge of emotion and gratitude towards Seraphina. Her kindness was overwhelming, especially since I had no memory of her as a close family member.Soon after, our tour of the house was over, and we returned to the Grand Hall.

"I have a surprise for you." Seraphina told me.

"Please, close your eyes."

Reluctantly, I closed my eyes, wondering what surprise she had in store for me.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

I opened my eyes and looked around the Grand Hall. I was surprised to see that the whole room had been decorated with colorful balloons, streamers and presents, like a child's birthday party.

"What's all this?"

I asked, puzzled by the decorations.

"It's your birthday!" Seraphina said excitedly.

"You don't remember it, but today is your 12th birthday. We wanted to throw a party to celebrate."

I couldn't believe it. The whole world had changed and my memory had been erased, but I was still having a birthday party.

"You're crazy, Sister. How can I celebrate a birthday when I have no memories of the past year of my life?" I asked.

"I know, I know." Seraphina said, brushing off my concerns quickly.

"Still, what harm is there in having a little celebration?"

"Well, there's no harm I guess." I admitted.

"I'll try to enjoy it.".I smiled at me, and she smiled back.

"Now stop worrying, and let's go eat!"

She said, taking my hand and leading me to the dining room.As I entered the dining room, I was amazed by what I saw. The table was laid out with the finest dishes and cutlery I had ever seen, and the food looked delicious.As we sat down to eat, I couldn't help but ask my sister again.

“Why do you do all this for me? I can’t recall what our relationship is in this world, yet you keep being so nice to me…why?”

.She looked at me for a moment, as if wondering how to respond, before answering simply:

“Because you’re my little brother.”

I smiled, feeling touched. It seemed like Seraphina was really looking out for me, and genuinely wanted to care for me.We had a lovely dinner, and once we were done, Seraphina led me to my room.

“I’m sure this is all a bit much for you, right now.”

She said.

“It’s probably best that you rest and get used to your new surroundings.”

I agreed and thanked her. I couldn’t wait until morning, when I would finally have time to explore this strange and magical world I had been brought into.

As the next day started, I awoke feeling refreshed and more comfortable with my surroundings.I decided to venture outside and explore the world beyond the walls of the House of Grandes.I walked outside and was astonished to see a beautiful garden filled with flowers, trees, and a small lake. I felt a sense of peace and tranquillity as I wandered through the garden, taking in the fresh air and the beauty of my surroundings.As I walked through the garden, I noticed a small sign leading towards one of the many paths through the garden.The sign read “Path to Waterfall”.

I decided to take advantage of the peaceful atmosphere and the solitude to explore the waterfall.I followed the path through the garden, enjoying the sound of birds singing, the wind rustling the leaves, and the cool breeze blowing through my hair.Gradually, the path led me out of the garden and into an open forest. As I continued walking, the sounds of nature became louder and louder, until I finally reached the waterfall.As I stood by the edge of the waterfall, I could feel the cool mist hitting my face and the sound of water crashing into the pool below.

I took a moment to take in the view and appreciate the beauty of nature around me. Just when I was going to.go back at the garden,I heard a loud scream not so far in the forest.

"What was that?"

I quickly followed the noise.I arrived at a weird looking training ground and noticed someone familiar.It was Seraphina and two teenage looking girls lying down in the ground

"Elliot? what are you doing here?." Seraphina asked

."Oh Hi Big sister,I was just wandering around and found myself here"

"Is that so?Why don't you join us train?"

"Sure i guess? But who are those two?"

"You forgotten about us Elliot?."

One of the girls Stood up and asked with a sassy tone.I was sure that I would get annoyed just from her tone but I wanted to know more deeper if she was going to be a real nuisance.Seraphina chimed in and explained that I had a memory lost even though It was something deeper than that.

"Oh so you really had your memory lost?"

"Yeah, it's something like that"

"I see, hmph it really was like Big sister said."She let out a sigh then continued.

"I'm Charlotte Grande,The second sibling and the one lying on the ground is Luna Grande who is the same as me"

"Hello Elliot"

"Wait so you're also my Big sister?"

She paused for a moment to process the though.

"Yeah, I guess I am." Charlotte said.

"And we are also sisters to Seraphina."

I looked over at Seraphina, who was standing beside Luna.

"We're all related?" I asked, surprised

"Indeed, we're all siblings." Seraphina smiled.

"And you are our little brother."

I felt overwhelmed by all of this information. Not only did I not remember anything about myself, but now I also had three big sisters.

"Well, it's nice to meet you all."

I said, feeling awkward but excited.

"It's nice to meet you too." Charlotte responded.

"Now, shall we resume our weapons training? Luna, get up."

Luna stood up, and I noticed she had a sword and shield in hand.

"Come on, Elliot. Let me teach you how to use a sword."

Charlotte said excitedly.I hesitantly took the sword she held out for me. I had never used a sword before, and had no idea what I was doing.

"Don't be so scared. It's just a sword."

Charlotte said with a smug look on her face.

"Don't tell me that the genius of Grandes are backing down"

Charlotte continued,even though i had no memories of my past life,I was sure that I'm really annoyed koby her.

"I'm not backing down." I said, trying to sound confident even though I was nervous.

"That right." Charlotte said, grinning.

"You'll do well if you just follow my instructions.”

I took a deep breath and tried to concentrate. This was my first time ever holding a sword, so I would have to be careful not to get hurt while following Charlotte's instructions.

"That's better." Charlotte said, giving me a look of surprise.

"Now, are you ready to learn, Elliot?"

I nodded, feeling determined to learn how to use the sword.

Charlotte began teaching me the basics of sword fighting, showing me how to hold the sword, how to make different attack moves, and how to defend against an opponent's attacks.My movements were slow and choppy at first, but as I practiced, my movements became faster an

d more natural.

After a while, I could even hold my own against Charlotte in a mock fight.I was amazed by how quickly I was learning, and felt a sense of pride in myself.

"Looks like you guys are having fun,how about we make it more interesting by fighting me?" Seraphina said.

Charlotte and Luna got shocked at what she said while I got curious.

"Huh? Didn't you already beat us earlier?"Charlotte replied.

"Well you got a point there, Elliot how about you fight me instead?"

I hesitantly nodded, accepting her invitation to duel.

"Okay, let's do it!" I said.

Seraphina drew her sword, and I copied her movements. I could feel my adrenaline pumping, anxious for the fight to begin.Suddenly, Seraphina made a swift move towards me, and I quickly deflected her attack by moving my sword downward in a diagonal way.But Seraphina was already moving towards me again, and I barely had time to react before she struck my sword with her own.

Our swords clashed, and I could feel the force of the blow throughout my body.I jumped back, surprised by Seraphina's attack.

"Not bad." Seraphina said, with a hint of pride in her voice.

I was amazed that I had been able to defend against her attack, but also worried that Seraphina was already thinking of another move to counter me.

I tried to stay focused and wait for Seraphina's next attack.

"I'm sure you can do better." Seraphina said.

"Give it your all, Elliot."

After many tries trying to defeat Seraphina, none succeeded.

"You're too strong Sis" I said while trying to catch my breath.

Seraphina replied with a smug face"Thanks for the compliment Elliot~,how about we call it a day and return to the house?"

"Sure even though i couldn't beat you today,maybe I'll beat you tomorrow"

With that,she pointed at both Luna and Charlotte

"Hey you two,time to go home"

Charlotte and Luna nodded, and the four of us made our way back to the house.

As we walked, I couldn't help but notice how comfortable.Charlotte and Luna were with Seraphina, calling her ‘Sis’ and accepting her instructions without question.

It was starting to dawn on me that I really knew nothing about this world, and everyone else seemed to have accepted me as part of their family even though I couldn't remember a single thing about myself or them.

It was all very weird, but I decided not to worry about it for now and just enjoy the moment.Soon, we reached the house and went in to get some lunch.As we sat down to eat, I couldn't help but look around at everyone else who was part of the family: Charlotte, Luna, and Seraphina, although I haven't met my parents.

They all seemed so relaxed and content, and I couldn't help but wonder what my life must have been like before I lost my memories.But for now, I tried not to worry about it and focused on enjoying the moment with the family I had now.As the meal continued, I could feel myself beginning to relax and warm up to the family, and even though I couldn't remember anything from my past, I still felt the bond we all had.

I was surprised by how effortlessly I seemed to fit in with the family, as if we had known each other our whole lives.In the background, I could hear the sound of Charlotte and Luna chatting and laughing. I decided to join Charlotte and Luna in their conversation.

As we sat together, I felt myself become completely immersed in the moment, and my worries and anxieties melted away.

This was the life I wanted, I thought. A life filled with people I cared about, who cared about me in return.And as I sat there and listened to the sounds of their laughter and their voices, I felt more at peace with the world than I ever had before.

After a while, I noticed that the sun was beginning to set.As I looked outside, I could see the colors of the sky slowly shifting from blue to pink as the afternoon turned to evening. I loved this part of the day, I thought. It was so peaceful and calm, and it always made me feel a sense of tranquillity and reflection.

As I watched the sun set, I was beginning to feel slightly sleepy.

"It looks like it's time to turn in for the night, what do you think?" I yawned and felt sleepy.

"I guess it's time for bed,how about you guys?"

"If you're asking Us if we're gonna sleep early, the answer is no" Charlotte said.

"Huh?why?" I ask.

"We're gonna study for the upcoming test tomorrow.”

I looked up at Charlotte and Luna, feeling a bit confused.

"But I thought we were all going to sleep?"

. "We got way too distracted."Charlotte shrugged

"So, you're really going to stay up all night studying?" I asked, somewhat surprised.

Charlotte didn't respond. She just gave me a look that suggested she's not about to back down on this decision.

"What about you, Luna?"

" "No need for me to study." Luna said, with a smug look on her face.

"I've got everything memorized already."

She added, making a show of remembering something by snapping her fingers.

"You know the whole course without studying?" I asked, skeptical of her claims.

”Yup." Luna replied, with an even smugger look on her face.

Charlotte rolled her eyes and turned away. "Tsk. Whatever."

"So, what about you, Elliot?" Luna asked, with that same smug expression on her face.

"Me?Wait do I need to go to school?''I asked.

"Yup." Luna nodded, still holding that same smug look on her face.

"Why do I need to go to school?" I asked, confused

"I thought magic was supposed to be a natural part of life here."

"It is." Luna replied, looking at me as if I was some sort of idiot.

"And in order to develop your magic skills" She paused, as if she was getting ready to say something witty.

"You need to go to school."

I couldn't help but feel slightly offended by Luna's tone.

"Okay then, I guess I'm going to school." I said with a bit of resentment.

"That's a good choice, Elliot." Luna replied, still looking at me with that smug expression on her face.

"I know." I said, trying not to sound too annoyed.

"But, just so you know." Luna began, still smiling smugly.

"You're going to be in the Advance class"

"Wait, what?" I asked, completely surprised.

"Why are you surprised?I thought you would know this in advance"Charlotte asked

I didn't know how to respond to her because I didn't have the memories of my past life.After all the conversation I had,I decided it's time to go to bed and rest.While I was trying to rest,a thought came to my head.I couldn't process the fact that I was going to be in the advance class despite of me being a child.After thinking,I decided that I should just lay down in my bed and get a good night rest.
