The age at which this ceremony is done is at age 6. No one has even done it when they’re this old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True, but would you deny my flesh and blood over something so trivial?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not my Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sacred Communion was a special ceremony. A priest would prepare a special liquid called God’s Blood. One would ingest the liquid and go into a trance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The priest brought a small golden cup with dark red thick liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, young lord, drink this liquid and we shall see if the gods answer your call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the moment Jack was waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would a God commune with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he get a double affinity? Maybe a triple affinity like his father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is it. The moment I’ve been waiting for ’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack took the small cup and drank the liquid. He fell to his knees and his eyes rolled into the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was thick with tension as everyone awaited to see the results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack’s vision went dark and then slowly got brighter. His vision was blurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes he noticed he was on top of a very large rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he thought he was dreaming, but then 10 years of memories flooded into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time someone came to visit him, or when Octavia would read him books. The realization hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My family loved me. I haven’t had this in my first life. But, I won’t let it go to waste this time.’ Jack said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving a sigh, Jack stretched for a moment before laying down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack saw every single memory, every servant who loved him, every meal left for him, even some of the townsfolk sent gifts to Jack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was loved by all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, after waking up he was worried that he would be thrown out or realizing it’s been 10 years that people would have forgotten about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More questions popped into his head. However, he knew nothing could be done about events that had already transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in Elysium worshiped some type of God, but Jack never really thought about what God out there was the one for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed in reincarnation and the transfer of souls. But, never in his wildest dreams did he suspect that he would be reincarnated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello Jack. We’ve been waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was startled. A young man with a scruffy beard and jet black hair stood over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ah, you must be the god I’m supposed to meet.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No Jack. I am just a messenger. A helper for the God that wishes to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, there is a God who wants to meet me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, there is. It’s not every day that a God picks someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man gestured behind him. Jack got up and looked. There were now stairs leading downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t matter if you had binoculars, you would not be able to see the bottom if you tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So tell me, if I never worshipped a God, why does one want to meet me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walk with me Jack, when we reach the pantheon you can ask all your questions to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’One last question before we go. Can I die or leave this plane that I’m in before I talk to a God.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you may reject the God, but accepting their blessings only brings you greater power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You see, I was in a coma for 10 years. I should have been hurling dark fireballs, making a business, conquering dungeons with my father by now. I don’t have time to wait, so let’s make this quick.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack turned around to look at the messenger with the stairs to his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhm... what do you mean....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack had a great idea. At least to him. If he couldn’t die or leave until he spoke to a God. He would take the quick way down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Jack leaned back and fell down in between the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple seconds passed. Then a couple minutes. Then an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was getting worried that this would never end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next thing Jack felt, the world spun upside down and he was in front of a giant building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a pantheon. But, there were no symbols or writing on it to determine whose it was. It stretched endlessly to his right and to his left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel the soft grass through his boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are an impatient one Jack.\" The messenger said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If someone wants to meet me, I shouldn’t keep them waiting.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s a good attitude to have. But just know you’re not the only one in the pantheon. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What do you mean?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sacred Communion is a ritual performed by many people, In many worlds, In many different times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ah, so I’ll see people from my world and others.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct. Trust your heart and it will lead you to a God that wants to bestow you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who has the right to enter a pantheon, has the right to a blessing from a god. Each God has a fixed amount of blessings they can give out. If a God runs out, they must pass on a chosen one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So is there a Yelp review system on blessings? Or do I just walk around and hope I get a good one?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite the comedian I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yeah, yeah. I’ll get going.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack placed his hands behind his neck with his elbows in the air as he walked towards the pantheon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors to the pantheon were enormous. Bigger than the five-story mansion at his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a profound and long creak as the doors opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jack saw what was inside he was disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were humans, dwarves, orcs, and elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were dressed in fine silks and heavy armour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were young children everywhere, but no Gods in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was perplexed. He was hoping to see some mighty gods, some cool magic, or something extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all he saw were children, weapons on the walls, books on shelves, and necklaces on stands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yeah, this is a little disappointing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack sighed heavily, and then saw a little girl reach for a necklace and disappeared into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait, what... she’s gone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, more children began to disappear until Jack was by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So touching something here must bring me to a God. I won’t know until I grab something.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Well, I wasn’t expecting much so let’s just touch something someone hasn’t.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack walked around the room for a couple of minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing stood out or spoke to him. He saw a simple spear above the rest of the items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack reached out and touched the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute Jack was in the Pantheon and the next Jack was standing in a tall grass field. A beautiful purple and reddish sunset was in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luscious green trees and crystal clear water in a lake in the distance could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello Jack.\" A voice came from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack turned around to see a frail old man in a toga. He had long white hair and a long beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to my domain, I was the last person I thought you would choose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I thought there was a certain God who wanted to speak with me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, chosen ones have the right to choose which God they want, but they won’t know which God they choose until they touch something in the pantheon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So tell me, what are you the God of?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a simple God. I’m frail because it’s been so long since I had someone to worship me. Everyone goes for pretty or shiny things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to offer you this pendant. It’s a blessing from me to you. It will help you grow and you can achieve many great things in life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s the catch?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no catch, just that if you don’t take it your life will be exponentially harder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And what do you mean by that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jack, you were cursed. Stripped of your affinities. Someone went to great lengths to make sure you were useless. My blessing will give you a fighting chance in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack didn’t need a moment to think about anything. He took the pendant and put it around his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What do I call you? What do we do now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may call me Draven. You will finish your communion, and find out your affinity and Talent. As long as you wear that, I will regain my strength and you will get stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Thank you, Draven. I promise to live a full life. And if you ever require anything from me, you only need to ask.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1457,"2026-06-06T05:43:29.002Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f8ea9d3bdf35d6991fcba4f7fce5be604f038ec0045ca1064da93f322e9c0f6","i-died-and-became-a-noble-s-heir-chapter-5","i-died-and-became-a-noble-s-heir-chapter-3",649,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-died-and-became-a-noble-s-heir-cover.jpg"]
