Hey everybody!

There will be an Author's note at the end of the chapter.

Enjoy!

-------------------------------------

Arriving in front of the mansion, it was a magnificent sight.

Built mainly of stone, a two-storey house with three adjacent towers that rose a few metres above and were positioned in a triangle with the central tower in the middle. It had a simple grey colouring.

There was a small drawbridge leading to the main door and a moat that surrounded the entire house.

'I'm not sure how deep it is, I don't think I want to find out.' { Harry. }

The mansion seemed to almost 'buzz' with energy as Harry approached it, he could have sworn it glowed a multicoloured light.'Hm.... A Sentimental mansion, I think it's the first time I've seen one.'

As soon as they passed the drawbridge and stood right in front by the side of the bridge. Just then Tom started talking again and introducing the island.

''On the island, we have the Magic Herb Garden, which was able to cater for most of those in prolonged stasis and will be functioning normally in a few days.

With the Main Wing back, the power is once again sustaining everything on the island, not just the mansion.

The fields are magically altered to produce faster and with more nutritional benefits, we will have things to work on by tonight, until nightfall.

As the Lord can see, the flower garden is back in good condition remains so all year round.

Behind the mansion is a hilltop gazebo and around the area are ancient habitats that were used to house magical specimens. I believe nothing has survived the long period of stasis, but I will take a look as soon as I can.

As for the mansion, despite its large size, it has never been used by more than two dozen people at a time.

So there are many empty rooms, the laboratories in the basement were used for necromantic studies and homunculus creation. The left tower was used for the creation of potions and its ideal ventilation.

The tall tower on the right is the library and study room. And the central tower contains the master bedroom above with a master bathroom one floor below, and the vault on the ground floor, or to be literal and built on the ground floor.

Between the three towers is a large open courtyard garden with an outdoor hot spring installed on the side. Each tower is connected to the rest of the mansion, which contains the dining room, kitchens, storerooms, dueling arenas, infirmary and dungeons.''

'... This family knows how to live life. Holy shit, I'm taking this place with me. After living here, I don't think I'd like to live anywhere else...''

''Sir?''

'I guess I thought too loud.' { Harry }

''(Cough!) Please continue, Tom.''

''Of course sir, off the island, I'm afraid the only places I can still feel a connection to would be the vault in Gringotts and Azkaban Island.''

''Do we possess Azkaban?'' asked Harry. This was new, in fact everything was new... or this really was in the 'Book' and he didn't know.

''Yes sir, originally and island was ours, and we made a deal to allow a prison to be built. The Dementators were actually a creation of the three Peverell brothers.

We provided them with enough to guard the island, but I'm afraid I can't know who claimed ownership of it at the moment. I can assure you that all Dementators are loyal to the Peverell Family.

No matter what happens to the island or Wards, it would never stop a member of the Peverell Family True Blood. They would have to rip out the entire foundation of the island and rebuild it to take away our property. Since I can still clearly feel the connection, it seems that such an action did not happen.''

''Is there something very important in the vault?'' Harry spoke.

''Yes sir. We keep all the most important artifacts here in the mansion, but our contract with Azkaban Island was a rental agreement. I'm not sure what the current status of the vault is, but we should be charging rent all the time since we entered stasis.''

'That's worth centuries Galleons. Has anyone figured that out yet? 'No, the British Ministry is so backward they can't tell you where something is .' Harry reflected and his brain quickly began to spin like a cog and he thought of everything he knew from the fictions 'I'm confident the goblins must have known, they probably stayed put and probably waited for the mages to die so they could have all this.

''Thank you Tom, if you can, please go and check the vault in Gringotts, as well as the state of Azkaban prison, and try not to be seen. I don't want any unnecessary questions asked.''

''Of course, it will be my pleasure, my Lord.''

With a {Pop} Tom appeared - and left only Harry and Alvitr who were enjoying the view from the manor.

-xXx-

[Pov: Harry]

''... You've been rather quiet... Has something displeased you?'' I asked and turned my head towards Alvitr.

She shook her head negatively and then said. ''No. I'm just surprised that there really are other universes, infinite worlds out there and... I wish my sisters were here with me to see that.'' Answered Alvitr in a sad tone knowing that her sisters couldn't be there with her...

''Sisters? ... Um...'' I thought and remembered a distant past...

Such a distant past where I had an older brother... One of the 'Force Knight' as he is the group he was part of was called...

It's a shame he was actually a wannabe hero, his failed attempts to stop me from gaining knowledge about 'The Force' and my methods seemed very heinous to him and his Order of Knights. Tired of their stupid attempts and their many friends and girlfriend at the time.... I killed almost all of them, except one.

In the end - what was the use?

In the end, they tried to beg me for their lives saying it was just Cain's (his brother) plan because of jealousy. I may not have gotten along with Cain, but I know he wasn't that kind of person.

In the end, the only thing he asked me to do was to spare his girlfriend/wife who was pregnant at the time.

That was the first time something I did came back to bite me later.

Same girlfriend as Cain - Came back wanting revenge for her boyfriend/husband.

She almost succeeded.... 'Almost', that was the key word.

She used some kind of device that temporarily sealed my Force... Since - The device was only a prototype and the Force was not the only weapon in my arsenal.

After a long heated battle with my sister-in-law, I emerged as victorious.

That day I learned that I should inhibit all my emotions and I did just that... And I settled the score with my past by putting an end to my sister-in-law's son and killed every man, woman, old man and child of the 'Order of the Knights of the Force'.

All this was something that was in the distant past of the Man called Radagon.

-xXx-

''Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do now... This body is so weak that it would barely stand if I wasn't using [Ki] to constantly strengthen it. I can't use most of my powers because of this and they're very weak right now due to my reincarnation and my soul not being 100% in place.'' I explained dryly... ''Thanks to my first life, I have many [Op] abilities, but at the moment, I can't use any of them.

''How is your body now?'' asked Alvitr showing a bit of concern in his voice.

''Right now? Hmm... if I stop circulating [Ki] through my body, it will quickly enter a state of physical super exhaustion.'' I said. ''Ah!'' I suddenly exclaimed.

''I remembered something! - Call me Radagon or Zheng. Harry leaves a shit taste in my mouth.'' I said.

''I'll take Zheng.'' Alvitr replied dryly...

I nodded and spoke seriously. ''Alvitr, we currently have a super important mission on our hands.''

Swallowing dryly, she asked. ''What?''

''... We have a spring fountain, it's a sacred duty to use it as much as we can.'' I said as if it was the most absolute thing in the world...

Leaving Alvitr behind... I don't need to know that she would love to beat me now, but as I said earlier, ''My body is too weak. She probably wouldn't try to do that. Even though she's a 'Tsun' and an angry woman, Alvitr is still a gentle woman, she wouldn't hurt me being that weak.... I can already see myself abusing this condition of mine and got her to bring me breakfast in bed.

I couldn't help but smile mischievously in my mind....

After passing through the second drawbridge (which opened by itself) and properly entering next to Alvitr, I could feel the mana in the air, the whole building was saturated with mana. There really seemed to be a mist of pure mana floating in the inner courtyard. Using the Heir Ring, I could tell that the entrance was covered in layers of protection that did things I didn't know... But I decided not to question it at the moment.

That was amazing!

Knowledge I don't know is always welcome!

Spending thousands of hundreds of years devouring all kinds of knowledge, no matter the origin - whether it was bad or good. I didn't care if it was really bad or good, Knowledge was Knowledge, and Knowledge is Power!

To the left and right of the open-air entrance were corridors leading to the mansion and ending at the leftmost and rightmost towers.

From these two towers, open corridors extended forward to the central tower at the back, which contained the master bedroom.

'Looks like I'll have to explore that place later.' I thought dryly...

''This mansion is Sentient, isn't it?'' Alvitr asked beside me.

''For now, she is half Sentient. She has not yet fully formed a consciousness completely.'' I replied in a bright tone.

''Hn.'' Mumbled Alvitr and we continued side by side.

Opposite the entrance there is also an entrance to the open courtyard of the house, which is truly magnificent. The mana mist for lack of a better term began to clear, and with the sunlight fading, I felt like I was entering a fairytale.

Stone paths lead through the extensive garden, which I suppose has been enlarged with charms. The ancient looking trees of all sorts could be where a family got the wood for their wands and or magical experiments.

The trees were all blooming with multi-coloured flowers, and some had fruit on their branches.

Freshly cut grass and moss covered stones dotted the area while balls of bright lights danced among the trees.

Suddenly, I noticed the main stone path lit up, and my heir ring began to vibrate. It sent me some information to follow the path, so I shrugged and started walking.

I'm not sure where you want me to go, but this is amazing. I wish I had seen this place so many centuries ago, before everything was overloaded with mana. The contrast would be interesting to see."

Continuing on, I felt some kind of movement in the trees, and when I focused my [Ki] on whatever it was, I found a pair of owls looking in our direction. Raising my blindfold a little, they were standard brown, as well as a little bigger and nobler? I'm not an expert on owls, but they are high quality owls.

'Oh right, they use owls to send messages. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the last Lord put some of them in stasis.'

I noticed Alvitr looking directly at my one eye that was without the blindfold....

''He's completely changed,'' she said.

''It was very quick.'' I replied to her. ''[Ki] really does wonders.'''

Removing my blindfold, I held it in my hand and then asked her, ''How do I look?''

''Yes, that one has changed too.'' Answered Alvitr with a small nod of his head.

''Good! I don't need to wear the blindfold anymore.'' I said jovially, and the blindfold in my hand disappeared into blue particles.

I continued walking... and Alvitr ended up lagging behind as he looked at me, ''What happened? Would you let me hear your thoughts, My Lady?'' I asked cheerfully.

I saw her blush like a tomato and she started walking towards me as she stomped her foot.

''Don't call me that again! ... Otherwise.'' Spoke Alvitr coming to my side.

''Or else?'' I joked back knowing that it wouldn't lead anywhere, just her being a 'Tsundere'.

''Otherwise... Hmpf!'' She huffed and looked away. ''How can you take these things so naturally?'' hearing her whisper, I replied

''Just smile and nod.'' I said and shrugged my shoulders.

''...''

Looking around, I realised why it was set up that way, the courtyard is triangular, the garden is circular and the main stone path leads directly to the central entrance tower at the end.

It mimics the family's insignia, it's kind of ironic that they based their insignia around the tools of Death.

Seeing that I reached my destination, and apart from the beautiful landscape with a fountain right in the centre and some stone benches, there was nothing else around.

I shrugged my shoulders and walked over to the fountain, which had a circular circumference and was only about eight to nine feet high, In the centre, a rectangular pillar was with holes that spewed out, water in patterns that crisscrossed each other, it seemed that depending on the time of day, it would change patterns using different patterns of holes to eject water.

It was only by focusing more on the pillar that I noticed an indentation with some words above it. I had to enter the fountain to get closer to the pillar as I was only nine years old at the time, I had to crawl even with the water around my waist. As I reached the engraving, I saw some words in Latin "Mors Vincit Omni". I never spoke Latin, but I studied enough to translate it easily, as it was the origin of many modern languages. Translating it to' Death conquers all'' must be the family motto. That's really cool, but it's not true. I am proof that 'Death' cannot 'Claim' Everything.

Under the engraving, I noticed that the carving was shaped like my ring, and as I put the two together, I inserted the heir ring.

'Why can I hear some music in the background?'

''What music is that?'' Complaining Alvitr, I guess I'm not the only one listening then.

{Crack!}

-xXx-

'I'm sure it was a joke, I'm in the centre of a magically overloaded mansion on an isolated island. Someone, somewhere, just gave me the loot, and I went straight for it.''

I sat down on the floor, it was strangely soft by the way, and looked around. I seemed to be in a small circular cavern with smooth walls and a giant, shiny stone.

''This is Hearthstone?'' I spoke in a low voice, not waiting for an answer as the walls of the cave glowed for a moment, almost as if it was giving me an answer.

''Okay, Sentient Mansion. I assume you guided me here, should I touch the stone?'' The walls glowed again, so I took that as a 'yes' and approached the stone.

I'm not sure if there were other Hearthstones, but this one is huge, it's almost 10 feet tall and is wider than some old trees in the courtyard.

{Bam!}

As suddenly Alvitr fell gracefully behind me.

As soon as she saw me, she let out a relieved sigh and then asked. ''Are you alright?'' and started to approach me.

''Yes, the floor of the place is very soft.'' I said and to prove my words I stepped on the floor and my foot sank a little....

''... What is that big stone behind you?''

''The heart of the whole mansion, without this little beauty here, the island would be falling apart.

''...''

Turning to the Hearthstone, I placed my hand with the ring on the stone and it began to light up. I felt something poking at my mental shields and it was probably something left behind by the former Lords of House Peverell. With a mental sigh, I lowered my defenses.

As soon as I lowered my defenses, a voice spoke in my mind.

''Hello Young One, do not be afraid. This is just a recorded message. I leave this message in the hope that it will reach the next heir, who will assume the mantle of the oldest and noblest house of Peverell. I do not know how many years it will take, but I hope she will remain loyal to this house.

The heartstone here will enter her head and test her worth. If you deem it worthy, then you may take an oath and become the true Lord. If you do not deem it worthy, then you will be forgotten, drained of magic and banished to the continent. Do you dare to continue?''

The voice stopped, and I got an idea of what the Peverell were like.

The Peverell never cared about purity of blood, they cared about the character of the person. They didn't settle like the other families who just tested the individual's blood. They want to see if the Heir has to be the Lord of this House.

''Of course I Dare!'' After speaking loudly, I again felt a wave of mana travel through my mind and decided to let go of the rein.

A few minutes later, the tide receded into the stone, and my heir ring began to light up and change a bit. It used to be completely black, now it had golden lines braided between the edges. After studying it for a moment, the voice of the ancient Lord spoke once more.

''Congratulations, young man. If you are listening to this message, then you have successfully passed the test. Go ahead and follow your own path, you are now Lord PAVERELL!

One last note to you, please continue the dear wish of the past generations and do your part to make the mansion Sentient. Every Progressive Lord was obliged to favour the improvements in the engraved runes. It will take many years, but I believe you will continue to pass on this project, Good luck.''

The message was cut off...

The hearthstone pulsed again and I realised where all the island protections were, I still don't know how they work, but at least I know what they basically do.

Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation. It wasn't a voice, but a probe similar to the way the stone fireplace conducted its test. I let it in, and a special connection was made between us. I felt a wave of new information along with a flood of mana reach me, and my new body can't help but topple over due to all the accumulated fatigue....

''''Zheng?! Zheng?!!!''''

I could hear Alvitr screaming at the top of her lungs...

''I'm fine.'' I sent a telepathic reply to her, ''My body just collapsed from exhaustion. Just call Tom, he'll know what to do.

''Tom!'' Hearing her call my house elf, I let my conscience clear and fell asleep.

{Pop!}

''My Lord!'' Before I heard my house elf screaming in desperation.... I'm not going to be the one to deal with that shit. Sorry Alvitr.

--End--

Radagon -> 2 Life -> [?] -> Currently Harry Potter.

This is the Reincarnation cycle of [Mc].

First of all, Radagon is was no reincarnated or even Transmigrated to another universe was his first life.

Without any wish from any R.O.B or anything...

I was thinking of doing a big Flashback but it wouldn't be worth it. It would take too long, I can do something like I did in this chapter where he remembered some events from his first life.

I'll be changing the way I call him, it'll be Radagon!

Only Alvitr calls him Zheng which was his third life [?] - I think some of you may already know who it is.

But, remember, it wasn't exactly him living as him, but having the memories and feelings...
