1 New World
With a concussion and a splitting headache, a dark-haired teenager with slightly pale skin slammed into his wooden bed, a flood of chaotic memories running rampant through his head.
"Continental, wizard, school?"
Murmuring, the black-haired boy scratched the sheets on the bed with his hands, blood staining the white patterned bedding red with blood running down his fingers.
"I'm Jack Brans?!, a wizard apprentice?!"
The black-haired boy held his head in pain, like a pool of water that had been violently washed, and memories and souls were forcibly poured into the young body, and it took a long time for the severe headache to gradually subside.
"Mirror, mirror!"
His eyes were bloodshot, his spirit fluctuated, and the small objects around the black-haired boy began to shake and sway, and soon, an intricately crafted hollowed-out silver mirror flew from the ground to his hand.
"This, this is me?!"
The black-haired boy stared at himself in the mirror, and a face was very different from what he remembered.
Blue eyes and black hair, a thin face, and a miserable white face that exudes weakness and immaturity, no matter how you look at it, it is not the original appearance of yourself on Earth.
"A new world? I'm Jack Brans, an apprentice wizard......"
The black-haired boy slowly lay back on the bed, rubbing his head and sorting out his memories, and after a short time, the boy finally figured out his current state.
A soul on Earth has traveled to another world, and after losing some of his memories, he has become one with this native-born boy, who is neither a time-traveler from Earth nor an original wizard apprentice, but simply the two are one.
"Jack, that's a good name, but unfortunately I can't remember the name on Earth, but I just roughly remember that I was alone. ”
Slightly melancholy, the dark-haired boy aka Jack began to look around, he vaguely remembered that he was a slightly introverted wizard apprentice, who had just finished his mission and returned to school to rest.
"By the way, I went with a few seniors to pick the fruits of the carnivorous tree, because of the accident, everyone was injured a little. ”
Jack silently raised his right hand, and a very hideous wound spread from the back of his hand to his forearm, which was the mark left by the attack of the carnivorous branches.
Magic and supernatural forces are rampant, this continent is completely different from the original earth, and wizards with amazing abilities dominate the continent as nobles and rulers, and all kinds of strange animals and plants are affected and become extremely dangerous.
"Fortunately, this is a relatively peaceful era, although the natural environment of the continent has become very bad due to the magic of ancient wizards, but there has been no big war in the last hundred years, as long as I successfully graduate and be recognized by the school, I should be able to live well. ”
Jack exhaled softly, in his memory, this continent was in the stage of peaceful reconstruction and recovery, and his family was not bad, not only the heirs of nobles, but also the elders who became wizards to shelter him, and he was relatively good among his companions and friends.
"The only trouble is a few debts, I consumed a lot of resources to learn enchanted items, although the family can also help me pay for it, but my father will definitely be angry and there will be some disadvantages for inheriting the family business in the future. ”
Closed his eyes and thought, restless, after the fusion of memory and soul, Jack became the carrier of two people in one, and the wisdom of adults began to analyze the current situation of the teenager, and after thinking carefully for a long time, Jack gradually relaxed.
There are no terrible things that kill people, the family and themselves are safe, except for small-scale power conflicts and disputes, the wizards on the mainland are in a peaceful period of recovery and development at this time.
"The History and Power ...... Wizards"
Jack groaned slightly, and then began to carefully reflect on what he knew about the history of the continent, but it was very regrettable that he knew very little in his memory.
With his eyes dark, Jack just remembered some common sense and historical stories, such as the wizard ended a large-scale war with the other world thousands of years ago, and the ancient chaotic bloodline wizard was sealed, etc.
"Medicine and biology are well developed, and although it looks like a European kingdom in the sixteenth century, its productivity and military power are far above the average on earth. ”
After thinking about his knowledge and memories, Jack decided to abandon some common sense on earth technology, and many things in this wizarding world where supernatural forces are the mainstay cannot be explained.
Unlike the mechanical technology on Earth, the extremely powerful monsters and aliens in this world have been transformed into tools by wizards with magic, and the people here have built a splendid civilization with completely different powers.
"Well, the territory is vast, the population is sparse, there are too few humans in this world, although the status of wizards is still very high, but it is not like in ancient times that they can slaughter villages and cities at will, modern wizards focus on protecting the environment and population. ”
After a brief recollection and reflection, Jack has a better understanding of the nature of the current society, this continent is almost the size of three Asians combined, but the recorded population is less than 300 million, which can be said to be pitiful.
You know, this is not a primitive civilization with low productivity, just from agriculture and medicine alone, it has thrown off the earth's scientific and technological civilization several streets, and the number of people with such support is too small.
"War and internal strife, the ancient wizards were keen on invasion and war, precious environmental resources and a huge population base have been exhausted by them, and even some special technologies have been disconnected, and now it can be said that the world will be rebuilt after the apocalypse. ”
Jack touched the scars on his hands and thought silently, the current wizards are committed to developing the population and the city, and some inhumane experiments and killings have been effectively suppressed.
Frowning, Jack was very glad that he had traveled through this era, if it was in the ancient world, maybe he would have lived a precarious life, at that time the wizard apprentice was just synonymous with cannon fodder.
"However, the history of the continent in modern times must still be understood, the civilization of this world is still very bloody in general, and it is impossible to say when you are unlucky enough to be involved in the conflict of wizards. ”
Jack felt a vague pain in his arm in the dark, although the injury was an accident, but from the memories of the past, the cultivation of wizards was not so simple and safe.
"Alas, there's a lot of knowledge and memories about enchanted items, and a pitiful amount of other things, and it seems that 'I' used to be an otherworldly otaku who specialized in technology. ”
sighed helplessly, Jack's current cognition and common sense are all from the memories and experiences of this body, and it is not impossible if there are any discrepancies or differences, especially in his memory, he is not very out of the house.
"Grandma, biological parents, two sisters, this is my immediate family, and I have some say in the whole family. ”
In my memory, Jack's family is very powerful, there are three wizards in their family alone, and if you count the entire family, the number of genuine wizards can probably be close to more than forty, which is already a large force among the nobles.
Jack frowned and began to ponder, his fused soul understood that it was this good family background that supported him to start learning enchanted items, and the average wizard apprentice could not afford to learn such a large amount of skill.
Although it is good to enjoy the shade with the back of the tree, the competition is also fierce, and many noble heirs and wizard apprentices do their best to express themselves to earn better inheritance power.
Unlike legal inheritance on earth, where a wizard's inheritance depends on his own abilities and qualifications, brothers in the same family are likely to inherit a very different amount of property.
"It's not enough to be a real fratricide, but it's probably a scene like the one on Earth that squirts dirty water over property. ”
Knocking on his head and secretly having a headache, Jack began to feel uncomfortable after remembering some of the debts he remembered, and these things would be in great trouble if they were stabbed in the house.
Jack's body is now at the age of sixteen, five years have passed under the tutelage of the family and the wizarding school, and in another three or four years he can apply for graduation, and after leaving the school, it is time for him to inherit the property and live independently.
Two very different destinies await Jack in the future, whether he lives a laid-back life in a lavish villa or lives in a cheap apartment as a poor wizard's assistant.
"The amount is not too much, and I also have some skills in making enchanted items, so if I work hard for a while, I should be able to pay it off. ”
Playing Hatche, tired, it was a silent night, and Jack, who had just begun to rejuvenate, was attacked by a strong drowsiness, at this time he ended his thoughts and began to prepare for sleep.
"Squeak ......"
Looking out the window, a strange-looking flying squirrel fluttered its wings across the starry night sky, an ordinary animal in the New World, an omnivorous flying squirrel with insect wings, just like a sparrow mouse on the earth.
Very quickly, Jack watched the mysterious creatures that were different from the earth and gradually closed his eyes, the soul and memories of the native world let him enter a wonderful dream, and slowly the corners of the boy's mouth spat out inaudible whispers.
"I, Jack, the world, I, Jack......"
