New born

[You have gained SSS Dark Dragon Legacy]

The goddess stared in confusion at the screen and announcement.

"How is this possible, there had only ever been one other SSS ranked legacy to enter my world." Her voice left the normal calm, and entered a surprised pitch.

Reo stood there looking, he felt as though he had just spent a lifetime of luck for this. He understood that there was S rank, and father that would come SS and then SSS.

And after hearing the goddess react, he knew that indeed this was a big deal.

But still, he had finally had some good luck, and that made him happy.

"I guess I just had good luck." He said.

"Putting it like that is an understatement, but let's leave that for now. You have surprisingly gotten an SSS Ranked legacy.

And even thought this legacy is powerful, it will also have a huge drawback. Legacies change the character and though of a person, the stronger the legacy, the more the power of the legacy, the more you change.

And from what I know, the dark dragon was a prideful being, and also very selfish. I don't know how you will become, but his character will definitely influence you.

Reo listened to her closely, he understood what she was saying, but there was no point thinking about it much, he had already gotten the legacy.

"I understand, so now, is this all?" He asked.

"Yes, but one last thing, your legacy will awaken one year after your birth, because your body needs at least some time to get ready." She said.

"I understand, so how do I get reborn?" He asked.

"Follow me." She said and walked out of the room, he followed her into another room, where a portal was activated there.

"This is my personal rebirth gate, gods have it for times like this, when they have to personally rebirth a soul." She explained.

"So I just walk through?" He asked.

"Yes, you walk through and your journey begins." She replied.

He walked to the gate and was about to walk in, but the he turned back and looked at her.

"I never asked, what is your name?"

"My name is Ophelia, please remember me." She flashed a smile.

Reo nodded and walked through the portal, and his soul was transferred to a new world, were he would be reborn to start his mystery task for the goddess Ophelia.

The cry of a newborn baby filled the mansion, the lord ran towards the room, expecting his second son, one that would carry his name like the first.

As a Duke, he was hailed and respected all through the lands. His status was second only to the king.

He was also a very powerful mage, and That was a well known fact. His first children, the twins had also carried their fathers blood.

They had been born last year, and seeing how much of prodigies they were, he decided to have a second son as soon as possible.

The Duke was a man of average build with jet black hair, neatly cut and arranged. His demeanor was a calm, yet serious one.

He walked to the door of the room and pushed it open. Inside the room were several women helping his wife, and a medical mage as well.

The medical mage was a middle aged man with the baby in his hand, a little white haired bundle of joy, the same color as his mother, who was exhausted on the bed.

She was very beautiful, a woman that would be considered a world class beauty on earth.

But the air in the room was not one of celebration, it was heavy, and the faces of those that were inside held sadness.

"My Lord, your son seems to lack your affinity for magic, I am sorry." The medical mage said with a downcast expression.

The Duke didn't react to what was said, he simply looked at the medical mage and told him.

"My name will not be sullied, kill the child, he died at birth." The Duke said.

Nobody there was shocked by what the Duke said, they knew it would come to this as soon as the child came out without magical affinity.

But the wife of the Duke raised her hand to the Duke to draw his attention.

"Please, my husband. He may not be the child you wanted, but he is still our son, we should at least give him a life.

Why don't we give him to a family far away and pay them to take him as their son. We are the cause of his life, we should let him live."

The Duke thought about what she said, he gave out a sigh and walked towards the door.

"Do as you please, but he should never been regarded as my son." The Duke said and left the room.

Reo had been watching the whole thing, he was beyond shocked at what was happening. Day one of reincarnation and he was almost killed and now he was getting kicked out.

His mother took him from the hands of the mage, she looked at him with teary eyes, get sadness could not be hidden.

Reo felt his chest tighten as she looked at him. He felt sad, sad that he would have to leave this woman that obviously cared for him.

His mother looked at one of the maids and handed Reo to her.

"His name is Silva, when you take him to the new family, tell them his name is Silva."

The maid took the child, she bowed and left. And that night, she covered herself head to toe and went through the night.

Reo, now Silva gazed at the mansion that would have been his home, but now was an enemy home.

'Just wait, I'll come back here one day, and I'll make my father pay dearly.

The maid that carried him through the night, going outside the city to a small town via a night time carriage, and giving the child to a new family.
