Being born into a wealthy family like that Kaiser’s guaranteed a high talent for magical and martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kaiser family is the strongest noble family in Elysium. Jack is one of four children. The youngest, but also the first male heir to Alaric and Genevieve Kaiser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their children are named Octivia, Annabelle, Celeste, and Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kaiser family is known for its dual or triple affinities. And even some magic swordsman through its lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key to harnessing this power is talent. Talent and affinities are measured by an ancient ritual called the Sacred Communion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a ritual every child goes through at the age of 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the ritual, one’s talent could be measured from Rank F to rank SSS. Each Rank gave the prospective of reaching a certain rank through training, determination, and blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sacred Communion was special, one would go to a holy site, and commune with the gods to determine who they are and what they will become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A god would answer based on your beliefs, and bestow a blessing if deemed worthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one was worthy a blessing would be tantamount to be considered a chosen one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chosen ones are destined for greatness. And are taken in by the kingdom if they are from lowly birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If from a duke, marquess, count, viscount, or baron, they would be given provisions to enhance their training because they would become key figures in a kingdom’s future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother\" Annabelle asked. \"Tonight’s the ceremony, do you think Jack will be as strong as father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice cut into the conversation, \"of course he will.\" Celeste said. \"Every first born son of the Kaiser family has had a dual affinity with dark magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Girls, settle down. Whatever he is, I’m sure he’ll do just fine.\" Genevieve said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Octivia put her book down, \"Dual Casting Magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s a curious boy who does what he’s asked and is obsessed with books.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’ll pick it up rather quickly I say. Whether he has a triple affinity like father is undetermined.\" She continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was an avid reader of history books. From the age of 3 he was able to read and write and was considered advanced for his age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alaric even betrothed Jack to his good friend Cassius Sunblade’s daughter. She was five years old as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day when the nobles would travel to the holy site at night and the Sacred Communion would begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the ladies were beginning to guess what Jack would have, a loud noise came from the front gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front doors were kicked off the hinges and slammed into the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Ladies went to see what caused the commotion, they saw Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes focused on Jack and the knife still lodged into his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloody and bleeding as his father put him on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get me the healer’s now!\" Alaric called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genevieve yelled in horror. \"No, not my baby!!\" Followed by whimpering and crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two healers came running down a hallway with bread still in their mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heal,\" the priest said. \"Heal.\" \"Heal.\" \"High Heal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My love what happened? You’re hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine. Just make sure he gets healed. I was ambushed by some mercenaries in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them had concealment magic, and stabbed Jack in the back. I lost it and destroyed a huge portion of the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers will be upset that I destroyed good hunting grounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Send the guards out to the forest, I need to figure out who sent them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes sir. Guards answered him quickly, as they rushed out into the forest to retrieve the bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the guards reached the forest where the destruction had taken place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were piles of blood and weapons, but no bodies were anywhere to be seen in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this it? I lived a pathetic life, died from a truck, all to be stabbed in the back as a child.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well I can say I didn’t see this coming at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack opened his eyes but they were heavy. He noticed he was in his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his whole family around his bed, along with servants, healers, and guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms and legs felt heavy and he tried to sit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coughed up some blood and fell back into his bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh, this really hurts. Let’s not do that again. I was stabbed, it was not a dream.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jack! Baby! Lay down and try not to move, you were badly injured.\" Lady Genevieve said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But the ceremony mother, it’s tonight we have to go.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Octivia pushed her small fingers onto Jack’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be stupid, you’re injured. You can just take it another time. No one would object anyways.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Where is my father?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s outside. He’s very angry right now at himself. It’s not even the afternoon yet and the whole sky is dark.\" Anabelle cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is supposed to be my day. I’m supposed to learn what I will become today.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whether I will chuck fireballs or strike lighting bolts in the dungeons’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll have plenty of time for that later, just rest.\" Celeste said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack looked around and even though everyone was concerned, he could tell something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants and healers looked worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sisters gossiped to each other and his mother just continued to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was clearly wrong and Jack didn’t understand what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My head feels heavy.’ Jack said as the room began to spin recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment Jack passed out. His eyes rolled into the back of his head, his arms rolled off the bed and screaming could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Jack the world had just spun so fast he had to close his eyes. To everyone else it looked like the first born son was dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack opened his eyes and saw how dark his room was. Lit by a few candles in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to sit up and almost collapsed because it was so difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at his hands, then his legs, then touched his chest and face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is going on? I’m not on earth. So why are my arms and legs so long??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack got up and stumbled to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ah, this is harder than I thought it would be to walk. I guess this is what happens when you get stabbed.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack reached a mirror and saw himself. He was drastically older.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait how old am I??!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was puzzled. One day he was a small child hunting with his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next he was six feet tall, with weak limbs and health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door creaked as a servant came in with some water and what looked like soup of some kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dropped everything and shrieked. \"Ah! Young master, you’re awake!\" I must get your parents at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait, how old am I?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, it’s your sixteenth birthday tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve been asleep for 10 years! I thought I took a nap!’\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-06T05:43:29.002Z",1,"novelbin.me","c7ae93ee67884b23758d9a6a6c0e276f637455b036824c355ae30d8638fe2f48","i-died-and-became-a-noble-s-heir-chapter-3","i-died-and-became-a-noble-s-heir-chapter-1",649,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-died-and-became-a-noble-s-heir-cover.jpg"]
