Being reborn should have answered something.
Instead, Lucien opened his eyes with the mind of an adult, the body of a newborn, and memories so broken that he could not even remember the person he had once been.
His new life began in Buena Village, a quiet farming settlement where magic existed, monsters wandered beyond the fields, and swordsmen could split things that had no business being split. It should have been a peaceful place to grow up.
For a while, it almost was.
Lucien had parents who loved him, a home that slowly became his own, and eventually a little sister named Sylphiette. But even without understanding why, he could never quite believe that peace would last forever. Something inside him remembered loss, even when his mind could not remember what had been lost.
So he learned.
He learned the language of this world, the rules of its magic, and the weight of a weapon in hands that were still too small to hold one properly. He watched the people around him, tested the limits of what he could do, and tried to prepare for dangers he could not yet name.
But preparation has consequences.
Every spell Lucien learns, every person he protects, and every choice he makes pushes the future a little farther away from the path it was supposed to follow.
Rudeus Greyrat will still begin his journey.
