Circumstances

'Mommy's dead, daddy's dead. What do I do? I don't want to die like this. I'm the reason they were killed. What do I do?', a fourteen-year-old boy hidden inside a tunnel said to himself.

"How could a simple boy escape you two, eh?" cried a man.

Three men were standing on the deck above the tunnel the boy is hiding under. He only prayed that they wouldn't be able to locate him.

"Here you are", He heard this and felt a chill run down his spine.

" Noooooooo! Please don't kill me," cried the boy in terror. He gain his cool after finding himself in a room. He got a little nervous again. 'They kidnapped me, didn't they?'he thought.

Despite his anxiety, he was amazed by his surroundings. The room was entirely made of wood and also decorated with girly stuff.

"Didn't they know my gender?" he thought, wondering how those kidnappers could give him dolls to keep him quiet for a while.

"YOU ARE FINALLY AWAKE!" The boy couldn't understand what she was saying. He had never heard this gibberish before.

The woman in front of him had auburn hair, brown almond eyes, and was most likely in her mid-thirties. The area under her lips bears a beauty mark. Despite being unfamiliar, she had a soft, comforting smile.

The youngster leapt out of bed and asked, "Were you the one who killed my family and kidnapped me here?"

'I believe he is afraid of what happened to him. I couldn't even understand his language' the woman said to herself.

She made a sign with her hands that appeared to suggest, "I won't hurt you, boy," but the youngster maintained his guard.

A young girl with an odd expression on her face asked the woman, "MOM, DID THAT STRANGER FINALLY AWAKE FROM HIS DEEP SLEEP?"

There is a resemblance between the young girl and the woman next to her, who is probably his age. He wondered whether she was her daughter or anything

"SASHA, DON'T SPEAK THAT WAY. HE WAS INJURED. I INSTRUCTED YOU TO BRING THE SOUP WITH YOU, REMEMBER?" With a tone that bordered on rage, the other woman spoke.

The subsequent scene temporarily confused him. The bowl suddenly flew into the room from outside and landed on the table next to the bed.

'Am I dreaming or is the bowl really flying without any thrusters?' his high IQ intellect couldn't come up with a solution, leaving him perplexed.

The show didn't end there. With just a finger movement she fixed the bed and opened the window curtain.

' How could she control the air. Is this they called magic' he just didn't want to believe all this.

" DON'T DO ANYTHING FUNNY IN MY ROOM OR I WILL BURN YOU TO CRISP!" the girl said with a small fire on the tip of her finger.

'Yes. There is a fire on her finger, and she's not hurting. where in the world am I? okay , first calm down Aster, calm down.'

" WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS,GIRL?" the woman said with an angry tone. This time, the girl somewhat became scared and ran out of the room.

She then pointed the bowl at him. He had no idea exactly where he was. Nevertheless, he enjoyed the soup. She smiles as she observes him eating. She can tell he was starving.

He had been sleeping for the past two days, and last night he developed a high temperature. They believed he would not survive, but the fever gradually subsided until it went away entirely, leaving a violet mark on his left arm. His entire arm was covered by the mark, which eventually shrank to the size of a tattoo.

Although she can sense his fire element, it is different from her daughter's. 'It truly is one of the legendary flames', she thought.

'Why is she staring at me like this?' He pondered this as he chewed the bread. He was aware that he was powerless to repel these adversaries. They are frightening.

'I suppose I'll have to cooperate and consider my circumstances'

one year later

" Mom! We'll be late if we don't leave now." The boy who yelled was none other than Aster

" Give some brain to your sister, Aster", His mother made a mocking smirk and remarked, "She grew anxious about how she appears on her special day.

Sasha snapped, "What did you just call me mother!" with a snort of rage.

" All right, all right, take it easy, Sasha. We must leave", Aster announced in a hurried manner, "The carriage is ready.

In a year, Aster became familiar with his situation. He's not in the place known as earth. This is another world full of magic. He had initially learned the native language as well as four other languages from his mother or what he now called her. He was really a gifted child in his former life that became a curse for him and his family.

In just one month, he had mastered those languages. His mother was astounded. Although there are many geniuses like him, he might be viewed as an outlier among geniuses.

The village where they live known as Elish village encircled by forest and ocean. His father was a farmer and also the village guardian. In the village, his mother was the sole healer. Rural locations have a relatively low prevalence of healing magic. Sister Sasha was the same age as him. She's like a typical annoying little sister despite their same age. Despite the fact that she resented her parents for bringing Aster into the family, she soon warmed to him. She now treats her brother with kindness and care as well. Due to the status of their parents, they have a better quality of life than other people in the area.

He had a good understanding of the empires from his father's stories. The continent they live on is called the Irish continent, named after the grand magus Irish Cole. There are five empires with five different races. He was really amazed by the fact that there are different races.

This summarizes the circumstances of Aster that he got to know at that time
