The Young Son Swordmaster
reborn
Whoa, uwaaah.
'Is it normal to hear a baby's cry when you die...?'
Jin thought to himself.
Did he have auditory hallucinations due to blood loss? Or was the neighbor's child crying because of the 9-star knight's attack?
If it's the last one, then it's a pity. The Akin Kingdom will fall today, so there is no way a newborn baby can survive the destruction.
'I want to keep it, but I'm not in a condition to help others. My body was cut in two. I hope I will be reborn in a happy world, not in a sad world.’
Waaaaah!
The sobs are getting louder and louder. No wonder the baby died of shortness of breath from crying so loudly.
'What a sad death. I can't even save the baby in front of me.”
His eyes were filled with darkness.
There was no sign the baby was stopping. As she endured the embarrassment and listened helplessly, Jin wondered why she had not died.
Not only had he received countless fatal wounds, his body had been split in two at the waist. There was no way he could hold on for another 10 seconds. Nevertheless, the lamentation never stops ...
'Wait, that voice came from my body!'
He couldn't understand what was happening.
Jin is the one who let out that cry.
Today is September 9, 1780.
The youngest son of a clan of swordsmen, Jin Runcandel, was born.
***
100 Days have passed since his rebirth.
Jin could now crawl skillfully, and he had no choice but to accept the truth that lay before him.
He was born again after his death. There is no other explanation. And there was no way he could explain it to others, because he could barely form words.
"And even if I told people after I was 5, no one would believe that I had 28-year-old memories in my head."
They will just take it as a joke or a delusion of children.
If he mentioned detailed history or family secrets, then some people could potentially believe him. However, the chances of him being treated as a cursed child were extremely high.
Therefore, Jin was once again destined to live as the youngest son of the monstrous Runcandel Clan.
The youngest son of the Runcandel Clan!
That's an incredible privilege.
Most people who live in the world would consider being born as the youngest child of Runcandels as a great blessing.
However, Jin was confused.
'I'd rather be reborn in an ordinary family.'
In that scenario, he did not need 100 days to accept the truth about the situation.
He was reborn in the same family, as the same child, on the same day as his past life. In other words, he was most likely endowed with the same talent as his previous life.
Sword and magic.
However, Runcandel hated magic. The Zippel clan, the witch clan, is Runcandel's greatest enemy.
'The youngest son of Runcandel again. I wonder if the curse Soldert lost is still on me. How should I run away from this family and learn magic this time?’
There was no way he could learn magic without leaving the Runcandel House.
If the curse Solderet had removed affected him again, then he would also not be able to learn swordsmanship.
As he pondered deeply, Jin's eyes slowly began to close.
His body could not obey his mind and rejected his natural needs. So, she's fast asleep.
***
1 Year has passed since his rebirth.
Time flows slowly, day by day.
Jin is sick of coming up with plans for the future now. His body could never resist the temptation of snoozing, and he was tired of half-dead living as a speechless baby.
'I want to grow faster! This is so frustrating! I can't do anything like me now!’
All he could do was drink the milk from the bottle and fall asleep when the time came. And every time he poops in his diaper, Gilly, his nanny, will come in his place. It was a very embarrassing experience for Jin, who had the mind of a grown man.
It was all his daily schedule for a full year.
Step, step.
A woman enters Jin's room. She is the hostess, Rosa Runcandel.
He had black hair and a sharp gaze adorned his straight and pointed nose. Despite his alluring charm, he seemed quite ingenious and powerful, which earned him the nickname 'Black Panther' from others.
"Is the preparation done, Gilly?"
“Of course, Mom. Today is the day the young master 'chose', so I pay special attention to everything. ”
"good. Then let's go.” immediately
The children of the Runcandel family undergo a certain ritual called 'Selection' on their first birthday.
It was a ritual where adults put about dozens of items on the floor, and made the baby crawl into one of them and pick up the item.
There is a superstition that when a child 'chooses' an item, it will be a representation of the future and the fate of the child. Surprisingly, Runcandels was obsessed with this superstition.
Rosa picks up Jin and moves into the central hall of the castle.
In the middle of the hall stood a man, arms crossed.
He is the father of Jin, the strongest knight of the present era, Cyron Runcandel.
'Dad.'
This was the first time Jin had seen his father after his rebirth. After reaching the demigod realm, Cyron was very rarely present in the castle.
He always went to war or practiced in some remote location.
'And my brothers ...'
12 Siblings were also present.
While they treated Jin like a weak and useless insect in his past life, they had not done such an act. They were all waiting for Jin with a big smile on their faces.
As he recalled the suffering he had endured because of them, his chest started to feel tight.
"Rosa, put the genie down."
His mother followed his father's instructions. As his limbs reached the cold marble floor, a slight tremor shook his body.
Two meters away from him lay the items for the Selection ritual.
He could see a book, two coins, a grain of rice, along with over twenty types of swords piercing the floor of the hall.
The genie only had to choose one item among all of these.
'This is crazy. I can't remember the rituals from my past life because I was too young back then, but now that I see it in person, it's crazy. Do they really plan on making babies crawl through countless swords and grab one with its blade?’
In his past life, Jin had chosen a sword. Since books, coins, and grains of rice were hidden among countless swords, it was no wonder that all of Runcandel's children had chosen weapons.
“Now, choose one of them, Nak.”
Members of the Runcandel family watched Jin crawl on expectantly.
They were all curious to see which sword the youngest child would choose. Whether it was a twin sword, a large sword, a long sword, or a completely different sword.
As a tense look focused on Jin, he started crawling towards the sword he had chosen earlier.
People all over the world may not know that the famous Runcandels make their children undergo such ridiculous rituals at all times.
Ugh. Jin was frustrated because he couldn't advance any faster. Crawling takes so long and so much energy.
'The sword I unconsciously chose in the past was quite troublesome, but this time, I will deliberately choose that same sword.'
bad. bad. He could feel his tiny heart beating fast.
The weapons were planted in a circle. The item Jin wanted was in the middle.
As he rolled and crawled, Jin passed the sword closest to him. The eyes of all the observers in the hall widened.
Even if the child came from a clan of famous swordsmen, babies almost always chose the item closest to them.
However, Jin zig-zagged through the sword forest, and the others could only gulp with each movement.
They all thought the same thing.
'Could he be... eyeing the sword?'
Jin continued to veer through his blade as the eyebrows on Cyron's frozen face and Rosa started twitching in response to every sword he slashed.
“Gah ah!”
Jin finally picked out his sword. Blood began to drip onto the fingers that touched his blade.
Everyone's gazes slowly moved from the baby towards the sword in question, and the siblings' jaws went straight down.
They all believe that Jin accidentally chose the sword, but the reality is very different. He had crawled like crazy to reach this particular weapon. He ended up wasting all of his energy, because controlling the body of a 1-year-old was not simple, even with an adult mind.
'Creeping all the way here on purpose was extremely exhausting, so how could I have accidentally chosen this sword in my previous life ...?'
His hand touched Barisada.
It was the name of the sword, and was the emblem of the clan.
For generations, this sword could only be used by the ancestors of Runcandel. To be more specific, the patriarchs had been recognized and recognized by all members of the Runcandel Clan.
How many times Barisada has been 'chosen' during rituals in Runcandel's history can be counted with one hand.
And every child who had chosen Barisada grew up to be the patriarch of the Runcandel House. Every child except Jin Runcandel from his first life.
"Jin chose the Founder's sword."
Cyron spoke in a serious tone.
Some people cheered in excitement, and some others tried their best to hide their displeasure.
This is what is meant by the superstition of Runcandel.
“The ritual is done. And take Jin to Storm Castle.”
