“Ah~ ah~ it’s that familiar infant form again.” A baby with sparse hair thought with his eyes closed.
Then he opened his eyes and looked around.
The surroundings gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
There were white sheets, a somewhat chipped metal crib, and when he turned his head to the left, there was another baby.
Ethan Cole, from the life before his previous one, had been a man from the twenty-second century.
He had graduated from an ordinary university, become an ordinary office worker, and then lost his life in a massive fire.
Even now, he still remembered sitting in his office chair, calmly watching as the floor collapsed under the flames and crushed him.
In the blink of an eye, he had gone to another world.
In that world, his name was Ryan Hart, an outstanding spellcaster who had spent only five years becoming the strongest Archmage on the entire continent.
He possessed profound knowledge, enormous wealth, and a position that earned him everyone’s respect.
Yet after obtaining everything, he lost himself.
He no longer knew what he was supposed to do.
In both of his lives, he had been an orphan.
He had no family, no friends, and no lover.
Loneliness had accompanied him through both lives.
Until that world was invaded by the Demon Realm, and he finally found a purpose.
But he was simply too powerful.
A single Star Magic, Doomsday Star, nearly caused the entire plane of the Demon Realm to collapse.
It was only then that thirteen Demon Gods appeared.
Ryan Hart fought them for an entire three months, until he and the thirteen Demon Gods perished together.
He had thought he would be able to sleepforever, but now it seemed that wish had not come true
Still, things didn’t seem too bad this time.
The fact that he had appeared in a hospital proved that he had parents.
He could finally experience the family affection he had never known.
His eyes rolled around as he thought about how he could attract someone’s attention.
A moment later, a deafening cry that echoed throughout the entire floor announced his plan.
A nurse wearing a strange-looking uniform appeared in front of him.
What made it strange?
It was a white robe, but its style was completely different from the nurse uniforms he remembered.
The strange nurse, who was holding a wand, picked him up and said softly, “Baby~ baby~ be good~ Don’t cry, don’t cry~”
After staying in the nursery for three days, he finally saw his parents.
The man was dressed in a strange long robe.
He had long, jet-black hair and black eyes that seemed to burn with ghostly green flames.
When he arrived, the air around him suddenly grew cold.
The woman wore a black court dress.
She had fiery red hair and sapphire-blue eyes.
Her appearance instantly warmed the air around the man.
And he received a new name: Aine Thanatos Ambrosius.
Because his middle name was so conspicuous, his name in public would be Aine T.
Ambrosius.
Aine heard that his middle name had been given to him by a friend of his grandfather and was filled with mysterious magic.
Oh, right.
Ambrosius was a family from the British wizarding world, and he would become a wizard himself.
He had an uncle, two male cousins, and one biological older brother.
His birth caused the entire family to erupt in excitement.
That evening, after returning home, Aine was staring at a figure that had appeared at some unknown point.
A pitch-black robe concealed the figure’s face, and a pair of long, inhuman fingers reached out to stroke his cheek.
Aine had seen plenty of people dressed like this in his previous life, so he simply smiled at the shadow.
The shadow seemed shocked by the smile Aine gave him.
It said something Aine couldn’t understand, then pulled out a strange necklace with its other hand and put it around Aine’s neck.
The necklace consisted of a circle surrounding an equilateral triangle, with another circle in the center of the triangle.
Inside that circle was an emerald.
After the shadow left, Aine’s entire body began to itch.
The itching became unbearable, and Aine burst into loud cries.
But this time, his crying brought disaster upon his home.
Powerful frost began spreading from Aine’s crib.
Flames rose around his house, while thunder continuously crashed down from the sky.
Strangely enough, the garden around Aine’s home remained lush and green, with the plants even beginning to grow at an accelerated rate.
The intense fluctuations of magic awakened the sleeping Ambrosius couple.
The two instantly rushed to Aine’s room.
At this time, Aine had been born for only one month.
After that came the ordinary stages of his growth, all the way until Aine was ten years old.
” Aine, darling, what gift do you want?”
“I want a Hungarian Horntail!”
Lydia helplessly indicated that she couldn’t do that, signaling with her eyes for him to choose something else.
Under his mother Lydia’s threatening gaze, Aine could only name another gift he had already thought of: One Thousand Dangerous Plants and Fungi.
Aine sighed and said to his father Paland, who was sitting opposite him, “Lydia is always like this~”
Paland picked up his milk and took a sip.
“There’s nothing we can do~ Aine, your request is impossible to fulfill at this stage.
Even though you’re a natural Elemental Controller, you have to understand that living creatures and elements are different.
Controlling elements is as easy for you as breathing, but living creatures cannot be controlled.”
“Fine~”
Aine didn’t want to explain that he wanted to dissect a Hungarian Horntail.
After all, having once come from a region renowned for its food, he had always wanted to know what dragon meat tasted like.
He could only finish the remaining beef in front of him.
After lunch, Aine walked out of the ancient castle belonging to the Ambrosius family.
He looked at the scenery below the mountain, where forests and grasslands met, with the faint outlines of people visible in the distance.
All these forests and grasslands belonged to the Ambrosius family’s ancestral lands.
To manage such a vast expanse of grassland, they had even specifically hired Muggles to help with herding and cultivation.
Everything belonging to the Ambrosius family in the magical world was hidden within the forest behind them.
The castle deep inside the forest was the true Ambrosius Castle.
The castle on the mountain was specifically designed to appear before Muggles as a cover.
