Birth of the Demonic Sword

Dragon

Five months have passed since Noah was reborn in this world.

It was spring, or at least it seemed so for what he saw of the outside environment.

The mansion he lived in resembled a countryside villa from his previous life, yet it had the size of a castle and was mostly made of wood, with a wall made of rocks on the perimeter.

At that moment, he was in the arms of his new mother, peeking around while she was walking through the mansion talking to him.

Little did she know that Noah managed to understand most of what she said.

'The language of this world is not so hard, also because it has a lot of similarities with the English of my previous world. Well, it's also thanks to Lily never leaving my side and continuously speaking to me.'

These five months were spent by him mostly in his mother's embrace walking around Balvan mansion, with Lily explaining the most random things to him.

Thanks to that, he had a general idea of his position in the family and how the mansion was structured.

The mansion was divided into two rings, outer and inner.

The inner ring was composed of a four stories building, and it was the place where the main family lived; the outer ring had two two-stories buildings and a three stories one, and guards, servants, and guests respectively inhabited them.

At the moment, they were on the first floor of the guest's building, which was reserved to them since he had the blood of the main family in him, and since Lily was the beloved concubine of Rhys.

Noah's father, Rhys, was the third and youngest son of the old patriarch of the Balvan family, Thomas.

As such, even though they did not get access to the inner ring, they could still live a comfortable life in the outer one.

"You must grow strong, little dear, the people in the inner ring will see you as a bastard and will spare no effort to abuse and bully you, especially the legitimate grandsons and granddaughters of the patriarch."

Noah's mood became heavier after hearing that.

'I lived a life without meaning, in a world full of compromises and now that I'm reborn I'm asked to endure bullying because of my social status only to become a tool for the main family to use. It seems that I will live another life void of meaning.'

Lily kept talking, but Noah's mind was away, trying to figure out the best course of action for this life.

'If I stay here, I will probably have a lot of benefits, after all, the Balvan family seems quite wealthy. I just don't know enough of the outside environment of the mansion, so I can't be sure of the possibilities the outside world has to offer.'

Noah was already considering running away from the family.

He appreciated the affection and the efforts of this new mother, but these feelings were far from the love he should've had for a parent.

'I already had a family, and it didn't go so well. This time I don't have to go through various experiences to understand the kind of person I am so I can always choose the things that suit me the most. If life in the inner circle is too hard for the sole reason of being a bastard, I won't mind abandoning the mansion. Plus, I have twenty-five years of experience in advance and the knowledge of a more advanced world, my possibilities should be plenty.'

From the clothing of the people, the structure of the buildings, and the state of the furniture, he could guess that this was a world without electricity, so way behind in the field of technology compared to his previous world.
