after drinking for almost an entire day he was finally satisfied and talked to me about the rules of reincarnating to another world
"Hey kid, the place where you're going is not safe unlike the world where you once lived" the reaper explained
"that much I know"
"and after you reincarnate, you will retain your memories of the previous world but won't remember your name"
"I can remember my past but not my own name?" what kind of logic was that?
"don't ask me, It's the rules they placed which we have to follow. moving on and the part where you're most eager on...Special Abilities"
"Ohhh" I don't know why but I clapped
"since I the reaper am the one sending you to the other world....I can only grant you....nothing" he raised his arms and shook his head helplessly
".....dude....what?"
"Sorry kid I'm only a reaper, not a God"
"Seriously nothing?"
"I can give you Lady Luck's blessing, though I have to ask her for it"
"Please do"
"wait there"
he walked away holding a little orb before coming back a few minutes later holding a little vial with some azure blue liquid inside and handing it to me.
"Alright kid drink up"
I drank the liquid and felt no changes with my body, so I gave him a questioning look.
"seriously kid? you naturally won't feel any changes because it affects your luck"
"fair enough"
"Oh I just remembered" he took a container filled with some crimson red liquid and chanted a few inaudible words before a black miasma entered the container turning the crimson red liquid into a dark blood colored liquid and handed it over to me.
"kid take it"
"what's this?"
" I might not be able to give you special powers but I can at least give you a boost"
"a boost?"
"you'll understand later now go, step into that magic circle"
I walked towards the magic circle, this... this magic circle is what you usually see on that satanist cult stuff. As he finishes his chant he gave me a look before saying
"kid it was fun drinking with ya but I hope I don't see so soon haha"
"yea even though it was my first time drinking it was fun, hey I never really got to know your name"
"my name? well, It's........"
As he finished his sentence the magic circle lit up and I can't help but close my eyes due to it being too bright.
The next moment I woke up I was being carried by a maid and oh my mama those are some big assets..wait what am I thinking trying to remember what was that reapers name...
"my name?well, It's....Grimm"
Grimm...thanks old man I will remember that name till I die.
"Master! Master! it's a healthy boy" I heard a woman talk
"A boy?!how come he's not crying?" This man's voice was loud and was filled with excitement
"Perhaps he Inherited your pride and courage?" a soft and tender woman's voice sounded
"Haha that's right my boy will never cry unless necessary, Hey Emille" the man from earlier replied
"yes, honey?"
"good job"*cries*
"my my my our son is not crying yet you are, aren't you afraid he will look down on you?" so It looks like she's my mom
"don't worry Emille our son won't grow up to be like that" and this man is my dad
"hmm you better remember your words"
"yeah"
these two lovebirds, hey I'm being held by a maid here at least hold me...mom....I thought to myself and the memories of my past mother came rushing back and I can't help but cry.

"Honey our baby is crying, he wants to be held by me, come" she beckoned the maid with a smile and held like I was the most precious treasure that she had, and as tears streamed down her face she said
"Don't worry dear mommy is here you don't need to cry anymore" with those simple words from this beauty of a mother stopped my tears from rolling down.
so this is my mother..Black hair with brown eyes and gentle smile that can cause the downfall of a kingdom
"Honey, isn't it Time for us to name him?"
"Name! right, from now on your name will be...Lyan"
"Lyan...that's a nice name"
"I got it from our names Ryan and Emille, now young man your name is Lyan Timberwolf"
he said that with a smile that reached his ears.
My old man has a rather aloof look with brown hair and clear blue eyes.. but his smile...it's creeping me out.
After being named I felt tired, though I can still hear cheers from the other maids, butler, and workers I still manage to fall asleep.
=================================
It's been five years since that day and I've more or less understood the world where I reincarnated. This world is called "Gaia" similar to earth of 70% water 30% land, It is divided by many sperate kingdoms the kingdom where I live is called Kingdom of steel ruled over by the royal family of Leonheart. the Kingdom of Steel is known for producing the most outstanding knights and is one of the very few Human race kingdoms, yes there are other races in this world, the beastfolk, elf, fairies, dwarves, demons, the many monster race, and finally the undead. you can usually see a few beastfolk and dwarves here and there but as for the elves and fairies, they are rarely seen. I also learned that my family, the Timberwolf family is a family of Knights my father being the only heir and my mother who came from an eastern Kingdom called Soukushi. Our family rules over a town called Pinewood town, the reason? well, our castle along with the town is surrounded by thick pinewood trees.
As I was immersed in the information I've read the books I heard a cute voice calling for me.
"Lyan!..Lyan!" I heard a cute voice call out to me
How good is this feeling this is the first time a girl has come out of her way to look for me though we are playmates it still counts right?
"Mira? what is it" I smiled and replied.
I try to play it cool but to be honest I'm holding in the urge to hug the little girl in front of me, she had silver hair along with a stunning pair of pitch black eyes and she's the same age as me.
"Lyan let's play please I'm bored" she kept bugging me to play with her
"Mira! don't disturb the young master while he's studying" Mira's mother came, Mira's mother Aunt Maria is maid of our household sadly Mira's father died due to a monster attack that happened while we were still in our mothers' womb.
"It's okay Aunt Maria I was thinking of going out anyways I've been cooped in the study for too long"
"are you sure young master?" Maria asked
"uhm" I gave a nod and a simple smile
"then, Mira look after the young master okay?"
wait shouldn't it be the other way around?
"yes!"
She gave her mother an energetic nod and pulls me away.
==================================
Mira and I are now walking towards the forest behind our castle although the monsters here are very scarce they still do appear every now and then.
"Hey Mira"
"yes, Master Lyan?"
"I told you to drop the "Master" it's embarrassing"
"haha"
this mischievous girl but I still can't help but pity her.We just discovered that she inherited the special ability of her fallen clan and now she is being trained by her mother to fully utilize that ability to serve our family. My parents rejected it at first but seeing how persistent Maria was, they can only agree. Watching her play the river innocently gave a strange warm feeling inside me like having a spiritual healing. After playing until noon then we went home.
"Lyan" Dad called out to me after eating dinner.
"Yes dad?"
"you're 5 years old now it's time that you started training your swordsmanship, I may not look like it but I'm one of the Incredible Swordmasters in the entire 3 Kingdoms"
It's true even though my old man is a little clumsy and stupid but when it comes to swords and battles he turns into a completely different person like a Wargod that awoke from its slumber.
"Sure dad"
Even though I've been reborn in this world all I did was read books and play but now I'm finally learning how to use a sword.
"Good your training starts from dusk till lunch"
And my training finally started, It was rough at first, the man never showed mercy even to his son, he trained me like there's no tomorrow and by the end of the day, I would be hurting all over. But after getting used to it, I finally found time to practice magic spells. I kept this routine for 10 years.
Now I'm finally 15 years old, I look like me from my past life only much more healthier black hair and black eyes 5.4 ft tall I may not be as handsome as those characters in a shoujo anime but I'm at least a solid 8. Mira has also grown to be such a stunning beauty even though our interactions through the years can be counted on one hand, she now has c-cup breast along with a nice round butt. but her body wasn't the only thing that's matured compared to the cheerfulness she once had it turned into an ice cold personality she would only answer when asked and always preferred to stay behind in the shadows, the way she treats me now is like how you would treat your co-worker.
As I've been thinking about the changes to Mira, Dad suddenly came with a serious expression telling me that we have to talk and to come to their room.
all the way to my parent's room we've both been quiet and the tension just keeps building up, finally arriving at their room I see mom and dad looking at me with a pained expression so I try to ask
"mum, dad what's wrong?"
"...Little Lyan you're already 15" mom replied
"yes"
"we will be sending you to central city there to study" she said with great hesitation
"mum but why?"
"you're already 15 you must go out and explore the world around you"
"mum...Is this about the Invasion of the demons and the undead?" Mom was stunned for a moment before letting out a long sigh and finally speaking
"you're right we want to send you there until we know it's at least safe here"
"but mom we're not even that close to the borders..I can help fight off the demons" listening to this mom only gave me a loving smile
"little Lyan I'm happy you want to help but this is not the right way, go to the academy and graduate then we'll talk"
"but mum..." I really want to help out
"Lyan you shouldn't object your mother this has been a tough decision for us."Dad interjected
".....ok" and thus with a heavy heart I left the room
The next Day.
"Did you pack everything you need?" mom kept checking my belongings.
"yes mum don't worry" I could only reply
mom kept frantically checking my belongings before sighing in relief and looked towards me and said
"you have to be good there ok? don't make unnecessary troubles and always study hard."
"yea mum"
"and if you find a girl you like, you can bring her ho..."
"Okay, mom that's enough I gotta go now Bye!"
before mom could finish what she was gonna say I stopped her and left in the carriage.Mira didn't come with because she hasn't completed her training yet but Aunt Maria said that she will come to the academy after a year. Haaaaa... the journey to the central city will take about a week and that's already the fastest welp better prepare myself it's gonna be a long trip.
