Rise of the White Devil

I was always alone, throughout my life. People looked at me with disdain because I was an orphan without parents. Constant abuse followed me everywhere. I lost touch with how to interact with others. With each passing day, I grew more distant from my emotions until I scarcely recognized myself. The warmth of family and friendship felt foreign to me. In the end, I snapped, and I became what I hated the most... something that wasn't human anymore... something that shouldn't have been born... That was until I was reincarnated as Lucas Nightstar, granted a second chance at a happy life with a loving family. Now, I would do anything to protect them, live my life to the fullest, and was willing to destroy anyone who dares stand in my way of my newfound peace. Yet... Little did I know what fate had in store for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first time writing a novel, so please give me feedback and point out my mistakes. English isn't my main language, so I could make some grammatical errors. I don't know how this novel will turn out since I am writing this for fun. I don't have a fixed schedule for when I publish chapters, but if I see that it is going well, I might get more serious with my upload schedule (currently 2 chapters/day). So please support me through this journey with reviews and power stones. Discord: https://discord.gg/Mkr924zN7F

A new life

"Ugh, my head hurts," a voice echoed in a luxurious room, emanating from a young human child with white hair and red eyes reclined on his king-sized bed.

"What happened... last I remember was leaving the dorm room and going to the grocery store since I was out of food... then I saw a truck that was about to hit me when I crossed the road... Ugh, my head!"

Suddenly, an influx of memories flooded the mind of the young boy—memories that weren't his own but were at the same time-.

The boy bolted upright in bed, eyes wide with shock after the sudden surge of memories.

"No way... I died and got reincarnated! Hahaha! This is amazing! After all, my previous life was nothing but pain—I was an orphan since birth and got bullied in middle school and college! There was no one who would miss me now that I've died especially after everything I have done."

He said to himself for who knows what reason...

Although transmigration might be a more fitting term for some, in this case, it wasn't the scenario. Looking through his memories, whenever he went to sleep, he experienced dreams of a previous life—a life where he was alone. It seemed that those memories were blocked by some sort of barrier, but had finally awakened

'Maybe I awakened my memories now because I wouldn't have been able to handle it before?'

"This world certainly is interesting," he said in his cute, childish voice, recalling the information about his current world.

The world he now lived in was called Myrniel, and his name was Lucas Nightstar, the noble son of Alexander Nightstar and Violet Nightstar.

His father held the title of viscount, yet the Nightstar family was respected by the royal family due to its history of aiding them in the past.

For some unknown reason, both his father and his grandfather had always declined promotions to higher ranks such as count or marquess.

Myrniel was currently at war against an invasive race called the Demons, and various other races also inhabited the world. However, the most dominant races were Humans, Elves, and Dwarves.

In this world, strength reigns supreme, and those who seek it embark on the path of becoming either a mage or a swordsman. Magicians and swordsmen are categorized into different star levels, ranging from 0 to 12:

0 stars (Dormant)

1 to 3 stars (Awakened)

4 to 7 stars (Master)

8 to 10 stars (Grandmaster)

11 to 12 stars (Saint)

Rumors whisper of levels beyond 12 stars, but no one known has ever ascended to the 13th star level.

At the age of 12 in this world, individuals typically awaken as either magicians or swordsmen, each displaying varying levels of aptitude. Throughout the years, numerous methods have been developed to measure a person's affinity for a particular element or property. These assessments unveil the unique talents possessed by each individual, predicting their potential future levels of mastery.

1st pov:

sigh-

"Well, that was a lot of information to absorb all at once. But in the end, none of it really matters. This is my second chance, and I won't squander it. I can sense that I've not only inherited Lucas's memories but also his emotions and abilities.

Well, they are actually my memories and feelings; I just wasn't aware of them. Speaking of abilities, they never got to properly test Lucas—no, I mean, my affinity.

The affinity orbs that show one's affinity always seemed to explode, and because of that, many started thinking that perhaps I didn't have an affinity, and I became depressed."

'hmm'

In this world, everyone possesses a status screen, a private interface that reveals personalized information visible only to the individual. Activating it requires nothing more than a mere thought, allowing one to access their data instantaneously

"...."

"...."

"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?! OF COURSE THE ORB EXPLODED; IT COULDN'T HANDLE MEASURING MY AFFINITY TO BEGIN WITH!" I practically scream in frustration.

"T-this... How am I so talented? What the heck! And what is this Chaos element? And as a progenitor? Am I the first to have this element? The orb must have exploded because of the Chaos element, then? And damn, even the Space element? Space is extremely rare to have, and I have it."

'Why wasn't all of this shown on my status before my memories returned?'

"Let's not even start with Lightning and fire, but what is this special talent? I don't recall anyone ever talking about having a special talent.

So, I can be both a swordsman and a mage at the same time since I can use both mana and aura? Isn't that like overkill?"

As my mind was being blown by my own awesomeness, I heard a knock at the door.

Knock, knock.

"Young master, are you awake?" came the gentle and sweet voice of a mature woman from the other side.
