Prologue
I was born in a small village called Forten. The village was rather close to Gart, the biggest city in the Dranian Kingdom, just two days on horseback. Forten made enough money to survive, but we were positioned outside of the empires trade routes. Traveling to Gart to sell crops sustained our village. Gart was where the King lived along with the other nobles.
My father Haren Thron was the village leader, and I was his third son Keltor. My oldest brother Pator and I were both born with blue hair. In my world hair color determines a lot in your life. Blue hair meant strong affinity to magic so any kind of magic was open for someone with blue hair, red haired people were born with more durable bodies so they usually became knights. Brown hair was the most common which meant no matter how hard they trained, their magic would never be as good as blue haired people, and they could never reach the same heights of swordsmanship that the red hairs did. Some people were born with other colors, but blue, red and brown were the most common.
My father expected Paltor to bring fame to our village.
My second oldest brother Leon was born with red hair, and by the age of ten was the greatest swordsman in the village. Leon was trained by a retired mercenary who lived in our village. Paltor was mostly self taught in magic, but that didn't stop him from becoming crazy strong.
Since most people were born with brown hair, my family was praised for having three sons that were special.
When I was born Paltor was 7 while Leon was 5.
Lana was our mothers name. She was beautiful with long curly brown hair and eyes, a small nose and slender body,but she was rather short at five foot five with a very small bust. Father was tall at six foot five with short brown hair and eyes a stern face and slender but musclier build.
Paltor was sent sent to Vaneth Academy to continue his magic studies, when he turned 10. Leon was going to join him there for his training as a knight in a few weeks after my fifth birthday.
My first real memory was when I was 5, and a tall blue haired man came to visit our village. It turned out he was there to check the size of my mana pool.
I was handed an orb that started to shine as soon as I touched it. When the light died down, the blue haired man stood there frozen. After a few seconds he put the orb away and rushed to my father. The two of them talked for a while before the man finally left.
My father came up to me and said "Your going to become a strong Mage one day" and then he ruffled my hair with his hand.
After that I tried self study like Paltor, but for some reason I couldn't do anything more than basic magic.
When I turned 8 my little sister was born her name was Cal, but she was born with brown hair and eyes.
When I turned 10 I was sent to Vaneth Academy to join my brothers. There I learned that since I couldn't control my mana output every time I tried to do a spell bigger than basic it would fail. I was only able to do basic because the small amount needed for a basic spell was constantly leaking out of my body anyway.
I was able to learn how to manipulate my mana fairly easily, and by the age of 12 I was able to overpower Paltor.
My brothers and I would return home quite often to visit. Cal became very attached to me so she cried every time I had to return to the academy, but to help her feel better I let her sleep with me every time I was home. Cal had brown hair, but when she turned 3 a few blue streaks started to appear. My family became famous for having the first child born with two colors. Cal started to learn magic and took swordsmanship lessons from Leon's teacher the ex-mercenary.
My second sister was born right after Cals third birthday and her name was Fraya. She was born with brown hair and eyes, but the family expected that to change when she got older.
I started to take an interest in body modification magic, but since the body was so hard to understand the magic hasn't advanced very far.
During one of my visits home, I decided to show Cal a type of magic I created when I was working with a sub class of body modification magic.
Keltor: "Cal I created something that I'd like to give to you."
Cal:" you made something for me big brother?"
Keltor: " it's a type of illusion magic that tricks your brain into seeing an image I created."
Cal:"big brother.... I don't understand."
Keltor:" I'm going to put an image of the two of us together into your brain that you can look at when you feel lonely."
Cal: " so I can see big brother even if he's not here."
Keltor:"yep, so hold still for a moment."
Cal:"YES!"
A bright light appeared around my hands and I touched them to Cals head. Then the light slowly died down and I removed my hands.
Keltor:" now channel your mana into your head like I taught you it's no different from usual only this time it needs to be forced up."
Cal:" I see it big brother!! I see it!"
Keltor:" I've placed some of my mana into your head so the magic will feed off both our mana to create that image."
Cal:"thank you big brother! I love you!"
Keltor: I love you to Cal."
After that I had to return to Vaneth Academy since once a student turns thirteen their social status is moved up to nobility and it was time for me to receive my new seal of nobility.
When I woke up on the day of my fifteenth birthday I never expected that to be both the end and the beginning.
My memories from my last day alive are hazy. I know I went to class and after that continued my study on body modification magic, but after that my memory is pretty much blank. I do remember one thing, looking at my hand covered in blood that was draining out of my neck.
When I started to open my eyes I found it very hard to move my body, and I could tell that something was wrong. I could see a ceiling and hear voices that I didn't understand.
Female voice 1: " *#*#*~£€~£~£~£<£|£!!||^^|>,!~!}"
*what are they saying and what language is that.*
When I finally looked at my body I was shocked. I was a baby, but how did this happen. The only thing I could think of was that some how I was reborn.
It took me a few years, but I finally learned there language. It was pretty hard learning a whole new language. I found out that this world had no magic, and instead there science was advanced. The television was something I spent a lot of time with when I was young, and I thought it was an amazing invention.
I went to school with other children my age while I was still so young. I decided to learn as much as I could from this school. I learned things like the geography of the planet, which was much more mapped out than in my world, and sciences, maths, reading and writing and history. I was very excited about the science classes because I wanted to learn more about the human body. My body modification magic in my previous life didn't advance very far since so little was know about the body. Biology, chemistry, and physics were always very interesting.
When I turned 10 I decided to take lessons in martial arts.
Martial Arts instructor: "gather around kids we need to put you all in groups of five so that my assistant instructors can start teaching you."
* what... were not going to learn from the master."
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
The kids were able to group up pretty fast.
Assistant instructor 1: "today were going to start with some simple stances and hand out a work out schedule for those who want one."
I spent the next 8 years studying sciences and practicing martial arts. I went to college and started working part time in a lab until I graduated. I wanted to try a new career field, so I decided to become a cop. I actually enjoyed the job and spent many years there. When ever I had free time I would help out in one of my college friends lab.
I enjoyed that life, but I missed my old world.
One night when I was on patrol a drunk driver hit my car, but it wasn't very hard and only left a small dent in the side. I laughed a little and said "this idiot just hit a cop, he must have terrible luck."
I walked over to his car.
Main Character:" sir could you step out of the car please."
BANG!!!!!!!!!
I felt something dripping into my eye and when I touched it I could see blood on my hand.
Drunk Driver: " Shtay away...I got a gun."
* a little late to say that now."
The next thing I new everything was black. I woke up a few times and saw a few doctors and nurses around me.
Doctor 1: "the bullet is lodged deep in his skull there's no way to save him. Call it."
I new that I was dead again. The only good thing is that I didn't even have a girlfriend and my parents died a few years ago so no one will be sad that I'm gone except a few friends.
I suddenly woke up my eyes felt heavy and my body weak. I knew this feeling I experienced it once before.
I started to hear voices, but this time I understood them. I knew this language, it was the one from my first life.
Female voice 1:"how's......my baby......"
Male voice 1:" he's alright it's a healthy baby boy."
* so I'm a boy good*
* could this be my old world, am I back.*
Male voice 1: " Yue! What happened! She's barely breathing!"
Female voice 2: "sir......the child birth was to much for her........she's not going to make it."
Male voice 1: " take the child and leave the the room.........I want a moment with my wife."
Suddenly a woman appeared in front of where I was laying and picked me up. I was carried out of the room. After what felt like an hour the woman decided to knock on the door.
Female voice 2: "sir.........."
There was no reply so she decided to open the door. When she looked inside she saw the man had cut his own throat while lying next to his wife holding her hand. The woman began to cry, but left the room immediately. I felt a little sad, but I didn't know them so I decided to go to sleep. I knew if this woman didn't do something I could end up being tossed away, but there was nothing I could do about it.
The woman ended up taking me to an orphanage and there I was given the name Falon no last name. The first few years I spent practicing my magic since I was born with blue hair again. I had to do it in secret since I was a lot more powerful than I should have been. I also started training my body after all I did win quite a few martial arts tournament in my last life.
When I turned 5 someone came to test the mana pool of all the kids at the orphanage. I was already stronger with my magic then the last time I was in this world. Some of the kids had there name taken down and told they will have the option to go to Vaneth Academy. When I was handed the orb it was a repeat of last time only this time they talked to the woman who took care of us all. Her name was Tessa.
Tessa was very young looking woman with long blonde hair blue eyes small facial features and a slender body with slightly pointy ears and a medium size bust. She was part elf and her hair color meant she would be strong with healing magic.
Tessa: "so Falon is special?"
Test Man: " yes he has a very large mana pool, larger than any normal person. We have only seen one this size once before. A student of Vaneth Academy named Keltor Thron. but he died eleven years ago."
*what!!!! Eleven years, so I was born into this world again after I was dead for only six years.*
Test Man:" Keltor was working on body modification when he died and his research has helped advance that field of magic greatly."
*what I left here is nothing compared to what I can do now.*
Test Man:"his sister Cal Thron took over his research after he died and I'm sure she could use someone with a mana pool similar to her brothers for the research."
*Cal took over my research!*
After the two of them finished talking I decided that it was time for me to test out the body modification magic I've been planning for the past few years.
I waited until the sun went down and all the kids were put to sleep before I went to Tessa's room.
Knock knock knock
Tessa:" who is it?"
Falon:"it's Falon."
Tessa:" Falon, what are you doing here."
Tessa then opened the door. She was dressed in pink pajamas that I thought looked really cute on her.
Falon:" Tessa I need your help with something."
Tessa:"what is it Falon?"
Falon:"I'm going to test out some magic but I won't be able to move very much for a while after I use it."
Tessa:" that sounds dangerous...where did you learn this magic."
Falon:" I created it and it's not dangerous it will just leave my body completely worn out for a while. Your healing magic can fix anything that goes wrong and it will only take about an hour."
Tessa closed her eyes to think and after a few minutes she opened them back up again.
Tessa:"ok but don't do anything dangerous."
Falon:"yes."
Tessa followed me as I led her outside. Told her to back away from me and I started to undress.
Tessa:" why are you taking your clothes off?"
Falon:" because I'll destroy them if I leave them on."
Tessa: " that doesn't sound very safe."
Falon:" it's just the clothes I'll be fine."
I started to focus all of my mana onto my cells. I wanted to rapidly age all cells in my body. Thanks to everything I learned in my previous life I now understood how to properly manipulate my body.
My skin started to tingle it felt really itchy. Slowly my hair started to grow my fingers started to extend along with legs and arms. It was very painful but I was able to hold in my screams.
Tessa was staring wide eyed as she saw me changing. After about an hour my body had completely aged into an 18 year olds body. I was about six foot four long blue hair compact muscles that took most the time forming this new body. I had a gentle looking face that was quite handsome with brown eyes.
All of my muscles where so over worked that I couldn't move any more. I fell straight to the ground and stopped moving. Tessa was surprised and ran over to me, and when she got close I said "get me to a bed I won't be able to move for a while." At first she looked confused but after a few minutes she came up to me and helped drag me to a bed. I fell asleep immediately.
