A New World

A/N: The first chapter will seem a little slow to you guys but it is only because I will be explaining the majority of the world around the MC including his family.

------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been 8 years now since I have transmigrated to this world. At first, I thought I was just reborn in the future as a baby named Jason Miller. Well, I was glad that at least my first name is the same as my last life. Slowly slowly I started to understand everything about the world around me and about my family. This world has many similarities to my previous world like the countries have the same names and the government structure is also mostly the same.

The thing that surprised me the most was in this world magic was real. They were wizards who could perform magic, Knights who had inhuman strength but this world didn't lack in the field of science.

"Master Jason, the breakfast is ready" a voice came from outside my room.

"I'll be there in a minute Nathan" I said as I stood in front of the mirror. Nathan's my butler. This world is advanced but they still have nobles in every country. But the difference between nobles and commoners is not too much and the enmity among them is also negligible.

Even though I am only 8 years old my red eyes and blonde hair do make me look a bit mature. My height is 4'5". After getting properly dressed I left my room to go to the dining hall.

As I reach the dining hall, I see a large dining table with 9 people already sitting.

" Oh, here you are my dear. Come on sit fast. Today I had the chef make your favorite choco-chip pancakes." An old lady sitting beside an old man at the head of the table said. That's Grandma Edna and Grandpa Charles. As I sit on my chair to eat my breakfast my father Mason calls me from the side

"So Jason, why aren't you going to play with your friends nowadays? Kate's father and I work together so he asked me whether you were sick."

"It's not like that dad. I am alright. You don't need to worry" I said with a smile.

"Jason come on tell me what's the matter. Are you going to keep things from your elder sis Janet? Mom is out on a diplomatic trip so I have to take care of you" Said a 14 yr old blonde girl pulling my cheeks.

"Okay okay... don't pull my cheeks, Janet it's just that all my friends have awakened their magic last year and now all they talk about is magic and I have to wait 2 more years which sucks" I said pouting.

"Language Jason, you are just 8 years old and you already talk and behave like someone my age. Aren't 8-year-olds supposed to be cute?" My brother Silas said. He is 18yr old and already a full-fledged wizard.

"8yr olds are also monsters so do you want me to enter your room and mess it up?" I said narrowing my eyes to which everyone at the table started laughing.

"Haha... I remember when Silas was 8 years old he came to my room and asked for some basic spells and later burned away all his hair" My uncle Harry said to which Silas made an embarrassed face.

"Jason your magic core was too strong to be awakened at just 7 years old. We will awaken it when you are 10 years old. Gifted wizards like you are rare in this world. But you gotta have patience child" Grandpa said.

"I know Grandpa. I am not complaining...it's just that I am bored"

"Jason, why don't I train you in combat? Even though you are going to be a wizard, you still need to increase your physical prowess. See all your siblings awakened at age 7 so none of them have much physical strength as they spent all their time practicing magic." Grandma said. Even though my Grandma was more than 70 years old, she didn't look a day over 40, and the same for my Grandpa.

Wizards have an abnormally long life as compared to normal people. And my Grandma used the perfect combination of physical and magical techniques. So learning from her would be a good thing...or so I thought.

"Okay Granny from today I will train with you" I said with renowned vigor.

"May your soul rest in peace" Grandpa muttered to which all others looked the other way trying to contain their laughter.

"What did you say?" I asked Grandpa to which granny just gave him a side look scaring him.

I didn't know why everyone was reacting this way but I was about to find out real soon.

After coming back to my room I changed into a training outfit and headed toward the training room. The training outfit was a skin-tight suit that even covered the mouth and nose. It was black and purple in color.

The training room looked like a big metal room and the walls had honeycomb-shaped blue lines covering them.

"Mana runs through those lines so that magic done inside the room doesn't affect anything outside and no mana signatures are released. That's why even though your siblings practice in such rooms, you never even hear a sound or even feel the mana.

"What do you mean by such rooms? There are more rooms like this under our mansion?"

"Of course there are honey. There are 4 more but there aren't as bigger as this one. This room is only used by your Grandpa and me. But from now on you will use this room as well."

"Well, I am happy that I get to train in the bigger room, but why?"

"Because you are a hybrid"

As soon as I heard that the first thing that came to my mind was Klaus Mikelson (TVD reference). I am no vampire or werewolf so what is granny talking about.

"Granny, what is that supposed to mean?"

"Jason normally wizards are those who can use mana but they can't apply it to their own muscles and organs. If they do they could suffer from mana poisoning. On the other hand, Knights can use mana only on their bodies to increase their strength, agility, and senses. But they can't emit that mana to attack. The most they can do is use mana to speed their healing and run mana through their weapons to make them more effective."

"Granny but how can you do both?"

"Because I am a hybrid too but many don't know about it."

"Which means I will be as strong as you when I grow?"

'If things go as we want then you will be in a totally different league. Except for me, your grandpa, and your parents, no one knows about its existence. Not even your uncle, aunt, and siblings.' Edna thought.

"Huh?"

"Ohh nothing...you will know what you need to 2 years later. Let's start your training now" Granny said.

They seem to be hiding something from me but as long as it doesn't harm me, I don't need to overthink.
