Chapter 1 - Rebirth

I am Von Blake, a student in America major in Game Development. I don't lack anything, I have lots of friends, I have no financial problem, I'm single because I want to enjoy my life first, I have the talent and looks, yet I always feel like something somethings missing.

[Right! I'm going to make a game where I am the god of my own world!]

I was planning to do that, but I died. What a stroke of luck!

[Is this heaven? But why is it pitch black? Oh, there's a light and I'm somehow drawn by it. Hmm? What's that? A cry? A baby? Wait… I'm… a baby!?]

[Xenon: Von, look at papa! Papa loves Von very much. You'll also be a great mage as papa. Don't copy your older brother Xenon who only likes swords. Right Thistle]

[Neon: Papa, Von is still a kid, he won't understand what a mage is.]

[Thistle: Oh come on you two, no matter what, Von is our little angel.]

[Neon: That's right mama, I will beat those who dare bully my little brother. In the name of the house of Duke Blake!]

The moment I realize it, I was reincarnated. And this world seems to be medieval. My name didn't change, even the last name, but what's with their name? Are they made from the periodic table of elements? Only me and my mother are normal? Forget it, but the man who seems to be my father said "Mage", do magic exist in this world? I think I've seen this plot before, is this the result of reading too many Isekai Manga?

After learning that this world is another world and magic exists, I wanna learn magic as early as possible.

[This life isn't so bad after all, I'm glad I died. But I can't remember how I died though. Well, whatever, maybe this is what I've been yearning for all my life. I'm going to be the greatest mage of all time! I suddenly remembered the game I was about to make; the title was supposed to be 'the greatest mage'.]

A year passed and we are currently celebrating my first birthday. I found out my cheat. I have a status screen unlike others and an unimaginable stat.

[What the heck with this immeasurable MP? I'll get in trouble with this. Better find a way to control this. Max null magic? I need to find out what null magic is. The Intelligence is understandable though since I have a memory of my past life. Yeah, I'm a prodigy, cheat skill for the win! Thank you, gods and goddesses. MWAHAHHAHA I'll stay low profile and beat the shit out of those 'geniuses' with a passive skill Arrogance. I hope this birthday celebration ends. Operation! Go to the library!]

IN THE LIBRARY

[Von: Books about basic magic, where are you?]

[Xenon: Von? I knew you'd be here. So, you have immeasurable mana eh?]

How did he find out!? I'm screwed! Is he some kind of a psychic? Is that magic? I don't know what to do so I just faced my father and nod.

[Xenon: Are you wondering how I found out?]

I nod once again.

[Xenon: Hahaha, I measured your mana right after you were born that's when I found out you have unimaginable mana too. Magicians can feel the mana of someone and when they feel something off, it means the mana is immeasurable. But only high-level magicians and above can feel immeasurable mana. Don't worry there's a way to hide it.]

Too!? I was thinking to myself. So, does that mean there was precedence?

[Xenon: Your face looks like you're wondering if there was a precedence. Hahaha, yes actually I have immeasurable mana too. Your grandpa has it too, and many ancestors of our family possess immeasurable mana. But outsiders must never find out about it, got it?]

I'm glad I'm not some kind of a monster who's off the chart. But that aside I wanna learn magic so I showed to book to my father and gestured him that I wanna learn magic since I still can't speak words.

[Xenon: Alright, I'm gonna teach you the basics of magic. First you need to know about attributes, anyone can possess all attributes but one or more attributes can be stronger and overlap against the other that made them only able to use one or two attributes. Most mage can only control one attribute, one in a thousand can control two, and one in a million can control three or more. And by the way I can control more than three! Are you amazed my cute little Von? MWAHAHAHA]

I looked at my father with disgust. I know he's my father but this piece of shit… And just so you know I can control them all you know! You should be proud I'm your son! MWAHAHAHAHA. Oops, I act like my father just now, is this the power of genes!? Scary!

[Xenon: Now then, let's find out what element you possess. Let's test every element on you, reach out your hand and repeat in your mind what I'm going to say, this is called 'chants'. Most mage say it out loud but no one in our family does that. Saying it in your mind consumes less time. Let's start with water, repeat this in your mind {Water}.]

Did I hear it wrong? He just said water in English! Does this mean that chants are in English!? That's my fucking language for my whole life before, now you're teaching me my mother tongue?! Anyways, I'll just go along with dad.

[Xenon: Don't push yourself my cute little Von, it needs proper pronunciation. One wrong pronunciation can mess the process.]

I immediately said {water in my mind} and water came out from my hand. My father was so shocked and screamed. Then we repeat the same process with other attributes except for space, time, taming, summoning, and null since it's a special case. My father called my grandpa because grandpa was known as the only person who possesses null magic to test if I possess it. And he also called a friend who knows summoning and taming magic to also test me. But, no one knows space and time magic, do I need to teach myself? Well, it's not a problem at all, English is my natural language!

After being tested and finding out that I possess all attributes, they discussed that no one else should know about it. Well, that's actually my plan, low-key is the key! They told me that they will personally train me. My dad on Mondays and Tuesdays, grandpa on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and my dad's friend, who told me to call him uncle, which is also the current King on Fridays. I was so glad I have Saturdays and Sundays free, or so I thought! My brother keeps dragging me to train sword with him. And then 5 years have passed.
