Moments before Alex's transmigration to the new world.
************
After Alex successfully answered all the questions, suddenly the area around Alex changed.
He looked like he was sucked into a very dark room, and soon the dark room emitted a kind of sparkling light.
And Alex was surprised, because he felt like he could see a vast universe in that room, both that and other worlds.
"This… is incredible!"
"I don't know where I am now."
But what is certain is that right now I am probably not on Earth?"
Then, in the room, Alex seemed to see a notification from the system again.
And the notification provides information regarding his current name, namely Ashen Duskreign.
Because the name 'Alex' currently and forever does not exist in any world.
"Huh, now I have a new name, huh."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can live comfortably, that's more than enough."
Currently, Alex has his new identity as Ashen Duskreign.
Soon, the system appeared.
[DING!]
[Starting the Transmigration of Body and Identity to the New World]
[Warning: current biological body does not meet Transmigration requirements]
[Emergency Solution: The soul will be implanted into the nearest body, deepin a near-death condition]
[TRANSFER ENABLED..]

************
The story goes back to when Alex Transmigrated...
************
Frostveil 20, Year 782 Eldareth
At that time, a heavy snowstorm fell at night, and the sound of a newborn baby crying was heard in a nobleman's house.
And at the same time, Ashen started to open his eyes; he was very surprised.
He was surprised not because he was still alive, but he was surprised because his body was now very different.
Ashen seemed to have a small, petite body, and strangely enough, it looked like he was crying on that body.
And it turned out to be the body of a newborn baby. Ashen was shocked, as he had expected a transmigration like most fantasy novels, but instead, he had been reborn in a new world.
He was very confused and surprised while saying in his mind,
"Ugh.. what?!"
"What happened to my body?!"
"Didn't the system say I transmigrated earlier? But why is my body so small?!"
"This isn't transmigration, but more like reincarnation?!"
Ashen was a little annoyed and angry at that time, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Because right now, Ashen's body was that of a newborn baby. And he himself could only cry.
And what was even more surprising, the baby's body also had the same name as Ashen, namely Ashen Duskreign.
It turns out that the Ashen family comes from a lowly noble family, namely the Ashen family Duskreign.
Although a lowly family, the Duskreign family also had its own territory, only that it was smaller, almost like a village.
Then, Ashen's parents looked very happy to see his birth.
"Honey, our son looks so handsome, right?"A mother said to her husband happily.
"He looks like you, honey." Her husband answered happily.
Soon after, Ashen finally began to understand himself and his birth.
This world is a world filled with magic, otherwise known as the world of Eldareth.
And currently, he is in the Kingdom of Virelda, one of the Kingdoms known for its elite magic schools and great Knights.
Currently, he was born into the Duskreign family with a mother named 'Silvana Roseflow' and his father 'Ronald Duskreign'.
Ashen's mother is a mage with Rank III [Herald] Phase I. While his father is a swordsman with Rank III [Herald] Phase III.
The Ashen family is only a lowly noble.
To increase his nobility and also support his family, Roland is willing to carry out endless missions for the Kingdom.
He was even willing to carry out a mission for a whole month, leaving his family.
At that time, Roland was on a mission to conquer the Dungeon with the branch troops of the Virelda Kingdom and also several other Nobles.
The dungeon they completed was a dungeon with its level structure being at Depth Grade Shallow, Threat Class C.
Dungeon, which recently appeared and moved up from Class E to Class C in just a few weeks.
This level change is a fairly difficult level if only five people can conquer it. Therefore, it takes around twenty people to be able to complete this level.
Because this Dungeon has a strangeness in it with the number of monsters around thousands in it, different from levels E and D, which can probably be completed by only five to ten people.
However, their strength must be at the level Rank II [Vessel] or equivalent to Rank III [Herald].
By completing the Dungeon, the Duskreign family was rewarded with a territory that was still just land, which has now been transformed into a small village and a fairly luxurious home for the lower nobility.
"Huh, it's not bad to be born into this family," Said Ashen, who seemed to smile a little happily.
Ashen felt happy because this was the first time he had parents, and both of them were still alive.
Ashen's birth was the beginning of happiness for the Duskreign family, who also celebrated it with the entire army and several villagers in their territory.
Until then, when Ashen is one year old, that age is the age to perform the blessing ritual.
This ritual is performed by touching a large stone that looks ancient, and there are ancient writings carved on the stone.
For one-year-old babies, it is mandatory to perform this ritual to find out whether the baby will receive a blessing from the divine, or gain magical abilities, or become a swordsman.
When the ritual was underway, many babies did not receive any signs of blessing from the divine.
However, they were lucky enough to gain the ability to use magic, and some also gained the ability to be swordsmen.
Shortly after, the Duskreign family came forward with their one-year-old son, Ashen Duskreign.
Ashen immediately saw the stone, and he seemed to feel a little strange about it.
"Huh, this stone has some pretty strange writing on it."
"But, somehow, I can read the writing?"
That was Ashen's thought at that time, who was confused by what he felt and what he saw.
Then, Ashen's parents also seemed to hope that their child would receive blessings from God.
"Darling, I hope our child can receive blessings from God," Silvana said to Roland with full hope for Ashen.
They seemed worried that if Ashen did not receive the divine blessing, the Duskreign family would be increasingly ostracized by the middle and higher-class nobles.
Because currently, the Duskreign family really needs a magical child figure who can elevate the status of this family.
However, during the ritual process, Ashen did not receive any signs of blessing from the divine.
Not only that, but what surprised everyone there was that there was no sign of any abilities that Ashen had acquired during the ritual.
And this indicates that Ashen is a child who has no talent at all.
Instantly, Ashen's parents looked shocked to see this.
However, they still love Ashen as their biological child.
Roland and Silvana returned home with Ashen, and at that moment, they seemed to be looked down upon even more by the nobles who also performed the ritual on their children.
Not long after, there was a child who received signs of blessing from the divine; the child emitted a golden light on the ancient stone.
The child turned out to come from a family, Dravik, that is Kaern Dravik. One of the more famous noble families.
Besides the golden light, the child also got a small mark on his right hand that was shaped like a star.
This indicates that the child is one of the candidates who will later be able to inherit power from the Gods.
However, for now, it is still unknown what kind of inherited power he will receive, because it will be done by a mysterious force that will later help those who receive blessings from the divine when the child is twelve years old.
"Haha, my son is so lucky! " Say, Rudd Dravik, the father of Kaern Dravik, who received the blessing of the divine, while looking down on all the nobles present at that time.
Rudd Dravik is one of the highest Knight commanders in the Virelda Kingdom, with skills as a swordsman with Rank III [Herald] Phase V.
With that Rank level, Rudd Dravik is close to reaching the next stage if he continues to train hard.
And at the same time, in his mind, Ashen said with a smirk,
"Haha, what idiots!"
"They think I'm an untalented child?!"
"Huh, that's funny to hear!"
"I'll prove it when I grow up!"
