-----------------------------
Allen carefully read through all the gifts listed on the display, taking a minute to absorb the details. His eyes widened in disbelief.
"This is absolutely insane! I can't believe it!" he exclaimed, his shock uncontrollable as he observed the array of gifts he had received.
Simultaneously, the system sent him all the information, including the reward it had prepared for him, as a means of ensuring his survival.
Little did he anticipate the system's reward to be of such extraordinary magnitude, overflowing with generosity.
"I ought to express my gratitude to the system, even though I remain unsure of its underlying motives for assisting me to such an extent," he murmured softly, feeling a gentle sigh escape his lips as gratitude once more swelled within his heart.
Although he had the advantage of future vision, he himself was not 100 percent sure if he could defeat the "hero," who took everything he had.
Without delay, he shook off any lingering distractions and directed his attention back to the imminent gift he was about to receive.
"The first gift actually contains legendary-grade potions for me," he exclaimed joyfully.
In this world, potions were exclusively crafted by skilled Alchemists, and the Alchemist class itself was exceedingly rare.
Even in his previous life, he could count on one hand the number of individuals he knew who possessed the awakened Alchemist class.
Thus, he was well aware of the rarity and significance of this legendary-level potion!
(Taking note of the potion grade division: Low-Medium-High-Perfect-Rare-Legendary-Mythical-Forbidden)
"Having this potion in my possession, I can rest assured that not only will it neutralize any poisons within my body, but even poisons of a lower grade than Legendary won't be able to harm me!" he chuckled inwardly, filled with confidence.
The effects of a Legendary-level potion were truly extraordinary, granting the body immunity against all poisons, with the exception of those surpassing the Legendary class.
Such powers were beyond imagination!
(Take Note: Poisons Also Have the Same Grade Division As Potions)
Afterward, his attention was drawn to the second gift—a box containing experiences.
"Perhaps by opening this box, I can embark on the path of becoming a True Mage at the beginning stage," he contemplated, his mind immediately shifting focus to the remaining gifts.
The fact that even the [Title/Blessing] was included among the gifts left him astounded.
However, one gift stood out and caused his heart to skip a beat—the second-class awakening gift.
"This must be the most precious gift of them all," he mused to himself, a surge of anticipation coursing through his veins.
In this world, it is an absolute law that no individual can possess two classes throughout their lifetime.
This applies to all beings without exception.
However, there exists one extraordinary exemption that defies the laws of this world, and those are the legendary figures known as heroes.
Heroes are renowned individuals who have achieved great fame and are universally recognized in this world.
The existence of these heroes is not derived from the living beings of this world; rather, they are beings selected from another world through the utilization of mythical-class magic.
Every ten thousand years, the Seven Great Human Kingdoms collectively summon these heroes using myth-level magic performed by Wizard-level mages from each kingdom.
(Notes: Magic Level: one to five stars (from lowest to highest), Mastery, Advanced, Legend, Myth, Ancient, Forbidden, and Divine)
In the kingdom of Eldoria itself, the five Wizards who summoned the hero were known as the "Invincible Five Sages" because the five were the five strongest mages who stood at the pinnacle of power in the kingdom of Eldoria and the world because the Wizard level itself was the highest level of a mage known to people in the world.
"With this, I should be at least on par with him, right?" Allen's face twisted into a chilling smile as he contemplated the individual who had taken his life in his previous existence, the very hero summoned by the kingdom of Eldoria.
(Taking note that there are seven heroes in total, each allocated to one of the seven human kingdoms and in Allen's previous life, his enemy was the hero summoned by the Kingdom of Eldoria)
The deep-rooted hatred he harbored for that hero was indomitable.
Not only had the hero stripped him of everything he held dear, but Allen had also come to realize that the hero himself lacked the soul of a savior.
In their final confrontation, Allen witnessed the kingdom of Eldoria crumble under the weight of a coup orchestrated by the very hero he despised.
It became evident that the hero summoned by the kingdom of Eldoria was a parasitic figure who ruthlessly exploited all the advantages bestowed upon him to fulfill his selfish desires.
And now he had a chance to awaken his second class, which had bestowed upon him such confidence.
"There is still one more month remaining before the summoning of heroes commences across the seven kingdoms," Allen mused, his attention now fixed on his gift.
"It's time to begin!" he whispered, pressing the [Open] button located on the bottom column.
Instantly, his vision was engulfed in a blinding light.
Gradually, the light faded, and the familiar sound of the vanished system returned to his mind.
[All gifts have been opened, and the host is given a choice!]
[1x Legendary-level Healing Potion (Open/Save to System Bag)]
Without hesitation, he declared, "Open it!"
[Confirmation! Transfer to host], the voice responded.
Immediately, a white light materialized in his hand, and Allen could feel an object resting within his palm.
"Could this be the legendary-level potion?" he wondered, lifting the bottle and examining it with curiosity.
The bottle appeared slightly small and revealed a blood-red hue within.
Without hesitation, he uncorked the bottle and consumed its contents in a single gulp.
"Gluk! Ah~" Allen swallowed the potion, pausing momentarily to observe for any reaction.
However, several seconds passed, and he felt nothing.
"This is strange... Is something amiss?" He pondered, inspecting the bottle for any irregularities.
To his astonishment, his eyes widened suddenly as a scorching, agonizing sensation surged throughout his body.
"Shit! Not again?!" He exclaimed, filled with dismay.
"Ugh!" Allen groaned in agonizing pain as he felt his body engulfed in flames.His skin turned crimson, emanating a mixture of blood and smoke, yet he steadfastly resolved to endure the torment."I must remain strong! This pain pales in comparison to the trials of my past life!" Through clenched teeth, he reassured himself inwardly.Betrayals and wounds had scarred him deeply, but he refused to succumb.Strength became his shield against the adversities that had beset him.After a few agonizing minutes, the searing sensation abruptly vanished, as if it had never occurred, and was replaced by a profound sense of comfort.Gradually, the skin on his body returned to its original state, not only regaining its previous condition but also appearing clearer and more vibrant."This sensation... it's truly remarkable," he contemplated silently, closing his eyes to inspect the mana channels and toxins within his body.Miraculously, they had completely vanished!He also noticed that his mana flo
The Main Workspace of the Duke Frey Mansion"So, do you have any significant news to share?" inquired a man of around thirty-five, possessing a handsome and youthful countenance with short brownish-blonde hair.He addressed another man dressed in servant's clothing."Yes, Your Majesty!" The servant gracefully bowed, demonstrating deep respect for the blond man who sat leisurely in his working chair."Well then, what is it?" The man questioned the servant with a nonchalant tone, seemingly unenthusiastic about the news that was about to be conveyed.Upon hearing this, the servant promptly conveyed his report, "I am pleased to inform you that Young Master Allen has awakened from his coma and is currently under the care of Lady Greta in his bedroom." His explanation was delivered with the utmost respect.The blond man's eyebrows raised slightly, and he emitted a soft "Oh" sound as a sign of acknowledgement.He then offered a small nod in response."In that case, relay my message to him an
"So, you've truly recovered, huh?" Julius Frey, the man who was Allen's father, uttered it with a blend of indifference and a tinge of surprise.Upon hearing this, Allen merely smiled and responded, "It was just luck, nothing out of the ordinary."With those words, he proceeded to make his way towards the sofa, settling down in silence as he leaned back.Julius's brows furrowed slightly as he observed the scene, but he chose not to pursue the matter any further."By the way, how did you recover?" Julius asked spontaneously, his expression remaining impassive.Upon hearing the question, Allen shifted his gaze toward Julius, pondering the nature of his father and reflecting on their relationship in his past life.Indeed, Julius Frey, his father, had always prioritized the family's interests above all else, a characteristic that lingered in Allen's thoughts.In his mind, Julius was a person who didn't hesitate to sacrifice his children and wife for the supposed prosperity of the family.
Upon witnessing the sight, Allen's brow furrowed, his gaze naturally drawn towards Julius, his expression filled with uncertainty. Noticing Allen's reaction, Julius responded with a subtle smile and inquired, "What seems to be bothering you?" Perched comfortably in his chair, Julius continued to pose the question, "Isn't this precisely what you've always longed for?" "A few months ago, didn't you request that I arrange your betrothal to that girl, Allen?" He chimed in, leaning back and crossing his arms, scrutinizing Allen, who appeared bewildered. Upon hearing this, Allen fell into a momentary silence, his mind striving to recall the instance when he uttered those words. Gradually, his expression relaxed, and a smile graced his face as he shifted his gaze towards the paper. "I understand now... It all makes sense," he murmured softly, then glanced at Julius. "Well, I appreciate your endeavors." Allen stowed the paper away and expressed his gratitude. However, Julius himself p
Allen's heart raced, and a surge of pain gripped his chest as he caught sight of a little girl who appeared to be crying. With a heavy heart, he whispered, "Irina..." Memories of the young girl flooded his mind, reminding him of their shared past. Irina Frey, Allen's second sister, was born to Julius and his third wife, Carina Orion. Carina hailed from the esteemed Marquis Orion family, renowned in the kingdom of Salvaria as one of the seven great kingdoms, alongside Eldoria. Sadly, the Marquis Orion family had met a tragic fate, vanishing from the Salvaria royal system amidst allegations of rebellion against the ruling Salvaria family. Deep within, Allen was well aware that the alleged rebellion of the Marquis Orion family, used by the Salvaria Royal family to tarnish their reputation, was nothing more than fabricated news. The truth lay in the Marquis Orion family's dissenting beliefs and ideas that clashed with those of the Royals. Allen's understanding of the truth was int
"Why? Why is it like this?" Lecia seethed with hatred as she observed the familiar and affectionate interactions between Allen and Irina from the corner of the room. "Why is it that you treat me with such coldness when you wake up, yet you shower that girl with such love?" Lecia's palms clenched tightly as her green eyes bore into Irina with a mix of envy and animosity, a stark contrast to her previous innocent demeanor in front of Allen. "I won't allow you to take my big brother away from me! Never!" She clenched her teeth, casting one final glance at the two happily laughing together in the garden. Reluctantly and filled with anger, she left the place behind. Meanwhile, Allen, sensing a presence at the far end of the room, cast a fleeting glance in that direction, catching sight of Lecia as she hurriedly retreated. However, he paid it no mind, donning an expression of indifference. "What's wrong, brother?" Irina, sensing the shift in Allen's expression, immediately asked with
Allen and Irina strolled together into the opulent dining room. As they entered, their eyes fell upon Julius, seated at the dining table with his eyes closed. Sensing their arrival, Julius opened his eyes and directed his gaze towards Allen and Irina. "Oh, have you arrived, Allen?" Julius asked with a detached tone and an expression devoid of emotion. He briefly glanced at Irina before quickly averting his gaze, as if her presence held no significance to him. Upon hearing Julius' words, Allen merely nodded in acknowledgment and calmly took his seat at the opposite end of the table. "Come, Irina," Allen said, shifting his facial expression into a warm smile as he patted the dining chair next to him. Initially hesitant, Irina cast a brief glance at Julius, who observed their interaction. However, with Allen by her side, she found solace and a deep sense of security. With a gentle nod, Irina politely took her seat beside Allen. Right from the start, Allen refrained from initiat
"What do you mean?" Allen stopped eating and asked, his face contorting with a frown. Julius, appearing nonchalant, replied, "I mean that your engagement party will be held in three days." "And this is all because of your insistence, isn't it?" Allen's question carried a hint of displeasure. Julius felt the need to clarify, as it was Allen who had initially asked him to arrange an engagement with a girl from the Valeriant family. If it weren't for his fear that Allen would rebel, he would have been too lazy to have anything to do with those damn parents from the Valeriant family. Furthermore, the girl, being the child of a low-status wife, was not worthy of marrying his son, Allen, who was the main heir of the Frey family. Hearing this, Allen sighed helplessly, not expecting his engagement party with Alice to happen so quickly. However, he knew that this was the butterfly effect of his rebirth. Soon, he continued eating nonchalantly and asked, "Can I cancel the engagement?" H
