Reincarnating in Another World and Living a Happier Live

Time to be Productive!

Time Skip 9 years (Current age: 10)

"-rael, Azrael wake up" I open my eyes to the cooing of my mom's soft voice. I wipe my eyes with my small hands and look up at her.

"Good Morning mom." when I said that she let out a bright smile

"Good Morning son, breakfast is ready. Cynthia and I will be waiting for you guys to eat. We''ll be waiting for the both of you." I nod and she leaves.

I was about to get up, but I felt a strong grip holding me in place. I put my head down and take off the blanket.

Under the blanket was a 10 year old girl with long silver hair that went all the way to her mid-thigh. The girl had tan colored skin and pointy ears. She was my half-dark elf best friend Rose: Cynthia's daughter. Want an explanation?

It turns out that in this this world lovers are connected by stigma, or the tattoos that my parents and Cynthia have. These connections help them feel closer together and share certain aspects. One aspect is life expectancy, when a human and a long living race like Elf combine using stigma, the Human somehow gets to live as long as an elf. I'm guessing it serves to alter the genetic code. Can't really find reason with magic.

Other than the life span the individuals feel interconnected and are able to knows the emotions of those connected with him or her. In addition, they are able to tell if the person is alive or dead only if the person is nearby. The connection grows weak the farther you are from that person.

Now, about this world. It's a purely amazing! This world is one governed by the laws of magic: nothing is impossible here. There are no laws of nature or physics binding one down because they can easily be ignored by using mana, the energy source needed to complete a spell. No, I can't use magic yet since my parents said I have to wait my awakening at the age of 11. The awakening is suppose to happen by itself and there's no way to quicken it's pace. I keep telling them that it's valuable time we are losing, but they keep telling me that it's impossible to practice magic without the awakening. I can't even do heavy body training since it'll affect my growth! All I do right now is run, sit ups, squats, etc. Haaa, this isn't like the Light Novels. Kids are killers at the age of 3 in those books!

Anyway the world is separated into 3 empires that are each ruled by a specific race of people: Avlon (human race) to the East, Evergreen (demi-humans) West, and Cocytus (demon race) to the South. The Demi-human are basically made up of Elves, Dwarves, Beast people, and Dragonewts. There are also stories of Dragons! I haven't seen one yet. My father doesn't want to tell me his race yet, but I know he isn't human. If he was a human then he would tell me immediately. However, I really want to know why he's so secretive.

We live in a small mercenary town named Brave Town. It's far into the southeast of Evergreen Empire near the border of two countries. My grandfather is the town chief and also mercenary head. The Empire hires us at times of war and we send in our mercenaries. We are currently at War with the Human and Demon race since they want to expand their empire into our land for resources. For that reason our town is currently filled with mercenaries that come from nearby towns and tribes to fight under my grandfather's banner.

The majority of the town is made of men, since they make up the most warriors. Some of the most loyal mercenaries moved their entire families to this town and opened up shops. Our population with the men at war goes up to about 8,000. However, we rarely get that big since mercenaries go back home during breaks.

Now, you might be wondering why my mom and Cynthia are here since they are human right? To out it in simple terms they were war prisoners. That's until they fell in love and decided to stay here. My mom was a top brass of the Human Mage unit who with her childhood friend, Cynthia, had orders to infiltrate the enemy lines and destroy a granary. The mission was a trap and my mom lost her entire division to the army's general. My aunt and Cynthia were about to be raped by that general, until my father saved her and put her under his protection as his prisoner. I guess my father overpowered the general since they succeeded.
