First encounter with a “knight”
The continent of Saintland, Valerian Year 3240. In the northwest corner of the continent, secluded by mountains, lies the Kingdom of Elvisu.
Within the domain of Prince Su Man Ersha, the youngest brother of the king...
...
In the midst of confusion, Su Lian, the grandson of Su Man Ersha, regains consciousness.
Where am I?
As Su Lian's head feels heavy from his rebirth, he is bewildered by the sight of the European-style ceiling and the European architecture he glimpses from the corner of his eye, accompanied by a radiant halo that surrounds him.
And then, it happens!
"Enemy attack!"
Accompanied by a piercing magical alarm!
Enemy attack? What enemy attack?
Wasn't I just tinkering with those dangerous items and then there was an explosion?
And now...
Instinctively, Su Lian tries to stand up, carrying his inner doubts. But as he props up his weak body, he realizes how...
Insignificant he is!
"Hmm?"
Su Lian looks at his tiny body sitting on a cushion within a magic circle.
This is... the body of a child!?
And this... is a magic circle!?
European style, magic circle?
Wait! The phrase "enemy attack" wasn't in my original language, but I could understand and comprehend its meaning without any sense of discord!
Su Lian's young eyes are filled with shock and curiosity, and his contracted pupils reveal his incomprehension and excitement!
Am I... dead?
Have I been reborn and transported to another world!?
...
Just then!
"Bang!"
Outside the window, a loud noise resounds!
"Frostblade Riders, finish it off!"
The colossal collision sounds as if some enormous creature is engaged in a fierce battle! Fear fills Su Lian's young body! However, Su Lian is incredibly, incredibly eager to obtain any information about his surroundings to confirm his thoughts of being reborn and transported to another world!
Suppressing his fear, trembling with his small body, Su Lian slowly climbs onto the chair by the window, then onto the table in front, and gazes at the outside illuminated by flames and magic!
He sees it!
In this life!
No, in this new life, a scene that would absolutely astonish someone with an actual age of 28!
A massive mecha, towering at five to six meters tall, predominantly white with light blue accents, wielding a blood-stained giant sword with a notch. Under the illumination of an intense lighting magic, amidst the howling wind and snow on a stormy night, it strikes a four-eyed gigantic beast, covered in black fur-like scales!
Mecha!
Magic and a greatsword!
Monstrous beast!
This is!
...
A magic-filled alternative world with a touch of masculine romance!
...
In just one minute!
The already injured peculiar four-eyed beast cannot withstand the relentless onslaught of multiple giant sword mechas and is eventually slain by the remaining mechas that arrive! Su Lian, a young man who is unfamiliar to Su Lian but gives him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, appears among a total of five identical mechas and the fallen beast.
"You despicable beast! How dare you launch a nocturnal attack here, you fool!"
The young man angrily curses!
Clearly, he is furious!
However, Su Lian can clearly sense that his anger is not solely due to the attack, but rather, why this beast appeared here!
Su Lian hasn't inherited any memories, as a two-year-old toddler has no usable memory information. But by observing his surroundings and the fact that these five mechas are obviously not something an ordinary person can pilot, he can understand that he hasn't traveled to an ordinary family.
And the young man, his only childhood memory tells him! That is his father!
"Are you okay?"
A young woman's voice came from below the window.
"I'm fine, you can go back and watch little Lian Der." The young man turned his head and shouted.
"Okay," the young woman responded.
Soon after, there were hurried but very light footsteps going upstairs.
Obviously, the young woman asking the question was Su Lian's current mother, who temporarily left the room to check the situation outside due to the giant beast attack.
Now, she came back upstairs.
But what caught her eye was a scene that shocked her even more than the knowledge of the giant beast attack!
Her two-year-old critically ill child had actually woken up and climbed onto the table by the window!
Su Lian didn't know what to say, perhaps because he still couldn't speak. So he smiled slightly at his mother, indicating that he was fine now. Even though, inside his heart, there was still an excited feeling that was hard to calm down!
His mother's shock quickly turned into joy! She immediately came to the window, hugged Su Lian tightly, and shouted with excitement towards the outside!
"My dear! The child is awake! Little Lian Der is alive!"
...
Yes, he indeed came back to life.
I shouldn't have been so impulsive to make a homemade rocket with an explosive bomb attached. If I had known, I would have continued to violently modify my multi-arm excavator, or maybe upgraded the propeller aircraft or optimized the submarine.
Oh well, forget it. Anyway, I was blown to death, and my parents divorced a long time ago due to money and infidelity issues. They probably wouldn't be too sad about my death, considering I still have younger siblings.
Su Lian, originally from a wealthy family on Blue Star. His father started a chain of auto repair shops at a young age, so he was able to interact with all kinds of mechanical tools from a young age and enjoyed tinkering with discarded items. Even at the age of seven, with the help of his then-available father, he made an electric toy car by combining a discarded tricycle with a discarded electric bicycle.
Later, the auto repair chain was successful, and dad had money to spend on his hobbies, while mom seemed restless.
In the end, they divided the money and the family.
Su Lian didn't want to be with anyone, so he took the large sum of money his parents gave him each month and went abroad to pursue his own interests.
For example, buying discarded excavators and modifying them violently;
Buying airplane models and then making parts himself, nearly killing himself in the process;
Not satisfied, he went on to build a submarine, although the oxygen supply system was good enough to sink but coming back up was a problem, so he had to swim back and operate the excavator to retrieve it.
In the end, Su Lian set his sights on rockets.
They could launch and successfully fall to a designated location, and then he foolishly wanted to collide with a detonating pin bomb. In the end, he succeeded in blowing himself up. And thus, he also blew himself into a short-lived legend, especially when news of his death was reported, many people would surely call him a fallen genius.
Of course, one could also say he was a crazy fool.
...
But it's fortunate that he has been reincarnated now.
Looking at the environment and sensing the current situation, it seems to be a good family, as they say, a blessing in disguise.
That's what Su Lian thought.
After his mother's simple inquiries and greetings, a priest was called to check his body and confirm his recovery.
Seeing the halo of the awakening magic array and the magic released by the priest, Su Lian could roughly guess that he should have been seriously ill before. It seems that the magic array was the means to cure him, but unfortunately, it failed.
But failure can also be considered a success because it allowed him to successfully reincarnate through the process.
