Agate Star World

Ethan's POV

As days passed, I had become proficient in reading. After mastering the basics, I decided to explore the castle library, a place I had been eager to visit. Upon entering, I was greeted by the librarian, an older man named Uncle Mason, who looked at me with a mix of surprise and amusement.

"Young Master, how come you're here?" he asked, his tone reflecting disbelief. Children my age were usually preoccupied with playing or throwing tantrums, not wandering into libraries.

With an innocent smile, I replied, "Uncle Mason, I want to learn about our world and the greatest magic experts." My excitement was unmistakable, and although he was skeptical of my intentions, he guided me to a bookshelf dedicated to general knowledge.

Among the many tomes, one particular book caught my attention. It was massive, nearly half my size, with a dull, thick, dark blue cover. Written in bold, golden letters across the front was its title: "Agate Star World."

I eagerly delved into its pages and soon came to understand that I was in a world of magic though I knew this fact seeing real information and vivid descriptions about it brought me a lot of excitement. While the cause of my reincarnation remained a mystery, I had come to terms with my situation. I had died, but here I was, alive again, with a loving and caring family.

My current thoughts were based on one thing, I had to learn magic.

As this is a fantasy world I needed to be powerful enough to fulfill all my ambitions and desires and to achieve that magic was the only path.

I had read a lot about how pitiful a person could be if they weren't the ones in power so my only goal was to learn magic and get stronger as fast.

The world I was in could only be described in one word HUGE! and its well-known name was Agate Star World.

This world was very huge, humungous you can say. There were 3 continents here in this world. Each continent was at least two to 3 times the size of Earth.

There are various types of races too but the dominant ones were the Humans of the Dark Star Continent, Demons of the Blood Veil Continent, and Elves of the Bloom Haven Continent.

The Blood Veil Continent had many minor races like vampires, werewolves, ghouls, skeletons, specters, etc with the giant demons as the leading faction which controlled at least half of the demon continent with dark dragons, hydras, etc.

In the Bloom Haven Continent, the many different species of elves ruled over the land with high elves as the leader and many other minor branches like moon elves, sun elves, dark elves, wind elves, fire elves, and other races like Dryads, trolls, orcs and goblins etc.

The white and other mild-natured dragons also had this continent as their lair.

And finally, our Dark Star Continent was supposed to be ruled whole by humans with the Southern ShadowLands dominated by a special category of mages like necromancers, dark wizards, and pirates.

It was a true dog-eat-dog world there.

Clara was also rescued from that region's slave market. My father also died in the Black Devil Abyss of the Southern Ocean's Death Pass.

That region borders the Blood Veil Continent so this might be the reason for their practices.

I speculated that their magic arts and ascension techniques were also inspired by the arts of the many races of the Blood Veil Continent.

The Oceans are dominated by the sea beasts with sea elves ruling the waters near the Bloom Haven Continent.

The Bloom Haven Continent and the Blood Veil Continent have been sworn enemies since time immemorial.

The humans of the Northern Glacial Region, The Central Heartland, and the Eastern Barbarian Region supported the elves while the Southern Shadowlands and the Western Dark Forest dwellers supported the demons. 

Our Dark North City is one of the 4 major cities of the Northern Glacial Region with Ice Emperor City as the most powerful.

Dark North City borders the Aurora Frost Mountains which encircles almost half of the Northern Glacial region. It is said to be a highly dangerous place with a very powerful Ice Dragon in its depths.

The currency of the Agate Star World dealt with elemental crystals of low, mid, and high-tier stones of each attribute.

Well, that's enough for today. I was already getting tired of this huge influx of information, and when I turned around I found my mother staring at me intently.

I didn't even know for how long was I reading and how long was she here looking at me like that.

But looking at her warm gaze I can tell she was enjoying looking at me reading.

"Done reading baby?" She asked to which I nodded and she smiled and hugged me.

I didn't reply to her and simply hugged her.

She too didn't think much and hugged me back.

Picking me up, she carried me to our room. There she laid me down and got herself beside me.

"All this hard work must've made you hungry right?" She smiled and looked at me with a loving gaze.

I simply grabbed her left breast and started sucking.

"Being hasty, are we? Don't worry Mama won't run away anywhere.", I was startled but then I dived again into my favorite pillow and started continuing my daily routine.

"Mama is the Southern ShadowLands dangerous?" I suddenly asked and even I didn't understand why I was so interested in this topic.

Upon hearing my question her face paled a little bit and became a bit sad. I was able to guess why she became sad as my father had died in that region protecting me and my mother.

"I will tell you when you awaken your elements dear, so don't worry" she replied in an even tone after regaining her composure. I nodded and she smiled after seeing me obedient and not being stubborn.

"My son is so mature and cute" She smiled and kissed my lips.

It was not a romantic kiss but simply an expression of her love towards me. I smiled contentedly and dozed off.
