Chapter 1

"Haah....." Looking at the mirror, Bob or now Cain sighed.

In the mirror stood a boy about 11 years old with shoulder-length black hair and green eyes. His bearing gave him an aristocratic vibe.

He thought about the past 11 years that had passed since his reincarnation. Yes, Cain was a reincarnated person, but being an orphan in his previous life and having few friends didn't make it too sad to live again. He was a student in his final college years but passed away in his rental house after having a heart attack.

In his current life, he was the son of Marquis Craig Ravenclaw and his wife, Leone Ravenclaw, of the Augustus Empire. The Marquis had three children, of whom he was the youngest. He had an elder brother named Torr as well as an elder sister named Sophie, who was the oldest among them.

Their family had served the Augustus Royal family for centuries and were staunch supporters of the royals. Although it made them oddballs among nobles and made several noble families their enemies, their immense power and connection with the royal family made it easy to wipe out any of those opposing families.

At first, Cain had thought the world he was born into was some kind of parallel world, but his misconception was cleared when he saw his personal guard break a wall with a single punch. After an inquiry, he got to know that these people were called Knights.

Although he wanted to know more about knights, he was not allowed to until he was 7 years old. Later, he knew that to become a knight, there were some conditions to fulfill. Firstly, the person needed to have a knight breathing method, and secondly, they needed to develop a life source inside their body, which may be developed by continuously exercising and practicing the breathing method.

The stage before becoming a knight is known as a knight apprentice. Although called an apprentice, they can easily handle dozens of ordinary people. After becoming a knight, a person can easily destroy a well-built wall, and by activating his life source, he/she can gain 3-6 times the power, speed, etc., depending on how high the breathing method they practice. After becoming a knight, they were divided into low-level, mid-level, high-level, and peak knights. After becoming a peak knight, one promotes to become a Grand knight and then Earth Knight, Sky Knight, and a Holy Knight, respectively.

The Augustus Family is said to have a Holy knight present, thus making it one of the five most powerful empires in the Czar Continent. A holy knight can live up to the age of 250, ensuring the continuation of an empire for two centuries. As a powerful family, the Ravenclaw family has 2 sky knights sitting in it. One being his father Craig while the other being his grandfather Joules. Although a sky knight seems only one position behind a holy knight, it doesn't provide extra lifespan but can let you live fine until 100-110 years old.

"Young master, Knight Alfred is asking you to come for training," came the immature voice of Renna, the personal maid of Cain. Coming out of his thoughts, Cain saw a girl about 14 years old wearing a maid outfit coming inside the room.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going," saying this, he went off toward the training ground.

Coming to the training ground, Cain saw many young people sparring as well as training on their own. After he came to the ground, he went towards Alfred in another corner of the training ground.

"Welcome, Young master!!" Seeing him come, many trainee knights stopped training and greeted him.

"Thank you, everyone, please continue your training." Saying this, Cain went towards Alfred.

"Shall we begin, young master?" Asked Alfred while handling a wooden sword to Cain.

"Um," nodding, Cain went on to strike at Alfred. Blocking the strike, Alfred went on to attack Cain in return. For the next 15 minutes, both started to spar purely based on their sword skills.

"Well, that's enough for now, young master, you can take a break and we will continue the training in some time," said Alfred to a sweat-soaked Cain.

Nodding, Cain sat down on the ground. Then, with a cloth and water, Renna came in to wipe down sweat on Cain.

After about 5 minutes, the spar started again, this time being unarmed. Then after some archery, shield, and horse riding lessons, Cain was let go.

After getting refreshed, Cain went towards a private courtyard to practice the "Black Raven Knight Breathing Method" passed on by the Ravenclaw family. This is a high-level breathing method that mainly focuses on agility and attack rather than defense, but it is only when compared to other high-level breathing methods, as compared to low and mid-level breathing methods it far surpasses them.

Although he has been practicing only by the time he was 11, that is, after training for about 2 months, Cain is already at the peak of a knight apprentice. While it may take many geniuses 2-3 years at minimum to reach the peak of a knight apprentice, Cain was able to do it in only 2 months. The major reason behind this is the Cheat that came with Cain when he was reincarnated. Cain only came into contact with it when he started practicing the breathing method.

The cheat only grants him 1 function, that being to improve any knowledge or ability to its higher state only one time while not being able to use the cheat for a time depending on what you improve. The first thing that he improved was his talent in the knight profession and thus was not able to use his ability for 2 months.

Improving his already terrifying talent to another level made him an out-and-out monster.

After finishing the training for the day, he went to his room to take some rest.

"Young master, the Family head is calling you for dinner," came the voice of Renna after some time. Looking towards the darkening sky, Cain stood up to go to the dining room.
