1 Reborn

"I have been stuck in this new world for 16 years, it appears that that app was telling the truth, if that is the case then I will learn necromancy easily compared to the other magics. It also explains why I can use the spear better than anyone in our city despite my body young age. It still feels weird being a 32-year-old man in a 16-year-old boy's body, it feels unnatural but I guess a chance to rule as a king has its costs. The last message from the app said that the world here is in the constant war however this city hasn't been attacked once in 16 years. Maybe no one cares enough to attack us or we have nothing of worth for them to take."

"Christian, it is nearly time for you to come and begin the coming of age ceremony, your father will not be attending as he is on the road doing military drills again. Your fiancee from the neighbouring Azure kingdom will be arriving shortly, make sure you look decent enough to meet her."

"Sure whatever, mother, I will put my family armour on, that's what dad wanted me to wear anyways."

Christian proceeded to put his armour on with ease, he then picked up the spear that had been passed down through the generation of the Dunehill family. The spear was crafted out of the bones of the families that had an old blood feud with the Dunehills. They were eventually killed and the Dunehills took control over the city of Varmosa or that is what the family histories say anyway.

"Christian, Help me, there is the man here with a kni" before his mother could finish screaming her throat was slit, the screaming servants fled out of the room, some ran up to Christian while others ran towards the exit of the castle with haste. The man mercilessly cut his way through the servants and made his way up the stairs towards Christian's room. When he opened the door he was met with a spear that pierced clean through his skull, leaving him dead.

Christian looked the man over and instantly recognised the symbol on the armour he was wearing, it was the symbol of the Azure kingdom, the one he was meant to be marrying into. Christian made his way down the stairs and saw a lord of the Azure kingdom sitting on the Dunehill throne, he entered an offensive stance with his spear and ran towards the king when he was within striking range the lord vanished and appeared behind Christian and whispered" I belong to the Amersa family and we used to rule this city until the Dunehills took it from us. With the help of the Azure kingdom, I'm here to take it back. Your father is already dead as is your mother. You are the last pretender to my throne and I will kill you myself."

The Lord pulled a dagger out of a hilt on his side and slammed it into Christian's side, the wound forced Christian to the floor. Christian used his spear to force himself back to his feet, he looked at the Lord and smiled before saying" I'm glad that the world didn't make this easy, I will be back and when I am, I will add your bones to this spear to be alongside your ancestors, as a tool for the Dunehill family."

He then threw himself out of a nearby window into the moat below, once he landed he pulled himself out of the water and disappeared into the town...
