"So I was reincarnated huh, luckily my face is still the same, the only difference was that my usual silver hair is now black and my originally golden eye is now red, also my strength is only on the level of a normal human."

In this life, I was loved by my parent, and when I turn three my mother give birth to my younger brother, my mother, and father loved us both very much and they treat us equally with no favoritism or anything they just love us both, my life is very easy and fulfilling, but that's all ended when I reach 7, the age that every kid are waiting for in their whole life, in this age all kids must perform the Talent Rank assessment made by the State of Tormey Kingdom.

We were very excited at that time, but when the result came out my mother and father change their expression to disgust and contempt, the result of my test was Talent Rank E, the lowest rank in the talent rank regarded in the Tormey kingdom garbage and useless, and also this rank only appears one in a billion so the lowest E rank is very rare to appear, at that day onwards they never look at me or talk to me they only give me some food and a room where I suppose to sleep, they ignored me like I didn't exist, I cry a lot at that time, but I forcefully stopped my cry because my father beat me up shouting, "Stop crying you worthless dog!"

3 Years passed and my younger brother's talent assessment came the result was very outstanding he got a result of Eternal Rank a talent that only appears once in every billion years, because of this result, my younger brother become the young prodigy of the Tormey Kingdom and he was protected by the Govern and train by the government, at that day he becomes famous around the kingdom overnight.

My mother and father's behavior towards me become worst until they decided when I reach 16 they will kick me out of the house and cut their connection to me, and that day is supposed to be now, I am 16 years old in this day.

"Sigh," my reincarnation is a bit unlucky, but even so I won't complain, I will not regard them as a family or anything then, and I won't register them as new members of our clan, because of our clansmen's ability to reincarnate with our memory and personality intact, the patriarch of the Alver clan made a law that if your new family in your reincarnation treated you well you can tell them our clan secret and you can invite them to become a Clan member.

while I was pondering about my new life and my past life, my room door slammed open and a middle age man enter without any care. I was brought out of my thoughts by the loud sound of the slammed open door, I looked at the middle age man, the middle age man has black hair and black eyes, and he has a good look but not enough to call him handsome, his figure is tall and lean like a figure of an athlete. the middle age man wears a black shirt and brown pants.

This middle age man was my biological father in this present life. He looked at me coldly and said with a flat tone, "Pack up your things and leave this house, and before leaving sign this form." after saying that he put the form on my desk and leave.

(Author note: I will use the brackets[] for a conversation that happens inside the mind or if the character has inner thought).

[Isn't that a bit cold] I said to myself. I started to pack up my clothes, phone, and toothbrush inside my traveling bag, I only have three shirts, three pants, a single school uniform, and a blanket to pack up, which is why I finish packing up rather quickly, after packing up, I went to my study table and pick the terminal tablet containing a form, papers are not used anymore that's why all document and forms are all written in digital.

I read the form written on the terminal tablet. the form is saying that I can't use my surname anymore and all my connection with them will be cut off. "I hope they will not regret this decision in the future. "I sign the form and change my current name to my original name in my past life Vector Von Alver.

I leave my room and leave the house, I took one last look at my family house before continuing to leave the neighborhood. I smile and matter to myself in a whisper, "This is my new life and the first step of my journey in eternity."
