Silver-haired young lady

Trooin~

A computerized monotonous prompt could be heard along with the appearance of a translucent rectangular screen in the air.

"I didn't expect that it would actually work!" Klein said excitedly.

Inside the translucent screen, numbers and letters could be seen.

"This thing is called Window Interface. It held the record of my Stats, Attributes, Skill, etcetera. In my previous world, once a person awakened his magic power, they could also summon this mysterious window screen."

Klein navigated into the Status Screen Panel and gawked for a second at what he saw. The records listed in it are the same as he remembered, however, not everything is the same.

«Status Screen»

[Name: Anonymous]

[Race: Human]

[Title: Soloist Hunter/Bastard Son]

[Class: Versatile Mage/Defender]

[Level: 1]

[Strength: 15]

[Constitution: 20]

[Agility: 5]

[Dexterity: 10]

[Perception: 7]

[Skills: Mana Blades 10/10, Quick Steps 10/10, Gravity Control 1/10, Inspection 10/10, Mana Skin 1/10, Shield Conjurer 1/10]

[Blessing: Awakened - can level up after defeating your foes. The higher the level the higher the requirement needed for the next level. Soloist Hunter - grants a permanent boost to your stats every time you level up. The higher you grow, the stronger you'll become. Bastard Son - Resistance to fear and intimidation. Abnormalities.]

[Equipment: Platinum Class Sigil Of Revival - it takes a long time to recharge.]

"What the hell. There's not only a few changes but a lot of them," Klein mumbled.

In his name, it used to be Kyle Reid written in it. Now it's anonymous. The reason is probably because he's in the body of a different person. His race is still the same. His title now had «Bastard Son» added to it. And even in his class, there's a new «Defender Class» in it.

When he looked below, he gawked.

"How the hell did my level return to level 1?!" He exclaimed.

He used to be level 70 which is considerably high in his previous world's standard. But thinking about it carefully, it was a natural thing to happen because he wasn't in his original body now.

He just didn't expect that this body was only level 1 despite all the training the previous owner did. It only meant that none of his hard work bore results.

"No wonder I felt weak and slow. It is because all my stats regressed to level 1 standard," he tapped his forehead and mumbled. "Damn."

He noticed two new attributes on the list. These «Constitution» and «Perception» are new to the list. He only has «Strength», «Dexterity», and «Agility» before. Now he has 5 of them. It is also unbelievable that even at level 1, three attributes are already in 2-digit points. That is very rare. Even in his former world, the number of people with two digits in their attributes at level 1 could only be counted on one hand.

On the «Skill» list, there are new skills but some of his skills also disappeared. He also noticed that some of his skills in the list reverted to level 1 while the others were at the maximum level.

"Gosh, my «Time and Space Magic» and «Elementalist» skills are gone in the list!"

"Well, anyway, once I reach level 10, the «Elementalist» skill will appear for sure. The «Time And Space Magic» on the other hand is the skill I got after reaching Level 70, so it will take time to return."

"I'm surprised that the «Gravity Control» is still there. This skill is also a skill I got after reaching a higher level. It reverts to level 1 though. It should have been level 7 already as far as I remember. At level 1, I couldn't even lift this body in the air. It's not very useful at level 1, honestly."

He was happy when he saw his «Inspection» skill on the list, and it is at a maximum level already. This is no doubt one of the most useful skills he had.

Looking at his «Blessings», he found two new additions.

"How did being a bastard son become a blessing?" He gawked.

However, the effect was surprisingly very useful. "Resistance to Fear and Intimidation?! That is very useful! Especially against high-ranked void monsters."

The other one is «Abnormalities». 'What a peculiar blessing it is,' he thought. Sad to say, there are no details regarding it.

"Is this a joke?"

"But since it's under the «Blessing» category, this better have a positive effect on me, no?"

Putting aside his two new Blessings for now, he went on to check the next column. It says «Equipment».

"Eh!!? What is this? Platinum Class Sigil Of Revival?!"

"Wait. I remembered getting an item after defeating a Tundra Class void monster inside a high-ranked Void Lair. The item has a diamond-shaped golden crystal with a ring around it. It was floating in the air after the Tundra Class void monster's body disappeared into thin air like millions of light particles. However, if I remember correctly, the item disappeared after I touched it."

To think it appeared in the equipment list. Maybe it went directly inside my «Dimensional Soul Inventory» after I touched it. It was a space inside my soul realm where items with soul and spirit properties could be stored.

I had no time to check it at that time because it was also at that moment that the incident that led to my demise happened.

"Since it is a Platinum Class, that means this item is one of the legendary ranks!"

His face showed an excited expression that had never been seen before. He would become rich on the spot if he sold it.

He had no idea how much value this legendary rank sigil has in this world, but if it was in his previous world, it could easily be sold for a few billion dollars. He was sure of it.

"Hmn…"

He suddenly fell silent and pondered. He realized something.

"Could it be that this item is the reason that I got reincarnated?"

After a warm bath, he went directly inside his room. He jumped on the bed like a child. His body bounced heavily a few times. Looking at the room, it was very spacious for one person to stay. There was a big soft bed with very clean linens that smelled nice. The size of the bed could easily accommodate two moderate-sized people. And even with two people sleeping together, there was still enough space for them to roll around. 

Those shiny furniture such as lockers and escritoires are placed in a good place that couldn't take space for other items. The painting on the wall is probably drawn by a famous painter. There is a crystallite chandelier on the ceiling and a crystallite lamp on each side of the bed.

'This is such an extravagant room.'

This kind of extravagant room could easily reach a couple of hundred thousand dollars for a month's rent.

"This room alone is probably more expensive than the whole apartment where I lived before."

"Also, the food we ate at dinner was very delicious and they seemed like they were cooked from a high-class restaurant."

He grinned.

This kind of life could only happen in his dream. And yet, he was now living freely in this kind of environment.

'To be reincarnated as Klein Dorolt is truly not a bad thing! It's amazing!' He shouted in his mind.

Thinking about it now, there was no need for him to enter the Void Lairs to fight dangerous void monsters to survive. He can live here peacefully with a sureball good future ahead of him.

As the only son of the Duke, his future is bright. Or so he thought it was, but the next morning, bad news came to him.

"Klein Dorolt, because of your recent misbehavior, the academy decided to send you to the Land of Trial! This is your punishment!" Said the middle-aged man with medium-length light brown hair.

This man is Fonce Hayne, the Vice Headmaster of the academy. His announcement reverberated in the whole assembly.

Eh?

Inside the Academy Assembly Hall, Klein looked stunned. Around him, some students were listening and watching. Some of them were whispering.

"He's done for."

"I heard that even a senior student didn't last for a day in that place. He gave up the trial and left the academy later."

"This pig will not last long."

"Well. It's good for him. He acted so high even though he was weak. Can't even defeat a commoner."

"Pffft. You're right."

"Is he even a real son of the duke?"

Their whispers were painful to hear but he wasn't affected by it. His only concern was this so-called Land of Trial. He had no idea what this Land of Trial was, but according to Klein's memories, it was a dangerous place. A den of hostile monsters.

"What if I don't obey?" Klein asked.

"You have no right to disobey even if you're the Duke's son!" The Vice Headmaster shouted at him.

'What a grumpy old man,' Klein thought.

"If something happened to me, can you handle the consequences of your decision? My family will not stay silent. I'm sure of it."

He wasn't afraid honestly, but he wanted to prioritize living a peaceful life in this new life until he graduated from the academy. Fighting against monsters is very tiring and dangerous.

A frown was noticeable on Fonce Hayne's face. He had known that the wife of the Duke was a doting mother to her son. If something happened to her son, she would surely do something to avenge him.

However, the frown on the Vice Headmaster's face only lasted for a second before it was overshadowed by a grin.

At that moment, a beautiful figure walked in front of the crowd. She has long straight silver hair decorated by a five petal blue and white coloured flower attached to her hairpin. She was wearing a blue blazer with a white ribbon on her chest area. Her blazer was paired with a white colored skirt with a blue line design at the bottom.

At her arrival, everyone in the vicinity immediately turned silent. Gasping voices could be heard, captivated by her charisma.

Looking at the newcomer, Klein slightly widened his eyes. Although it was the first time he saw her in person, he knew of her in the memory of Klein. 

This young lady is…
