After Nero walked out of the room what came into view was a large mansion mainly themed in white and blue.There were few servants doing various chores of the house.
"Wooh! this body was sure living in luxury or i should say my body now even though this was my body from the start" he exclaimed after seeing how luxurious this mansion was it may not be the most flashy one but its simplicity certainly brought a unique feeling.
"Young master, you are awake breakfast is ready please head to the dining table after refreshing yourself" Nero heard a sound from his back and after he turned around what greeted him was a 50-60 year old man in a butler dress bowing to him.
"Yes, Sebastian i will be there" he replied after finding the butler's name from his memory. ' Sebastian was the head butler of this mansion who has been taking care of our family for the last four decades.As far as i know he was a RANK 65 soul emperor although i don't know his martial soul i guess my previous self wasn't interested in it ' thought Nero after remembering all about Sebastian.
"Aria can you check his status" Nero asked Aria curiously because he didn't know if it was possible [ Yes i can check Sebastian's status and also other people's status but only the information which they subconsciously feel comfortable enough to let out here is what i can get]
[

"Well it seems i was a bit misinformed he seems pretty strong" Nero thought [He is pretty strong according to world standard for you he is Mt. Tai as you are still weak] "I know you don't have to lecture me" Nero grumbled quietly.
After doing the usual morning routine and eating the breakfast Nero went towards the library because he wanted to know about this world and his family as he couldn't view this world with the perspective of a novel.
In a spacious room with artistic decoration a child is standing in front of a virtual screen.
"Hmm so far i know that 8000 after the second generation of gods ascended soul technology and blacksmithing matured at an astonishing rate and according to netizens from my past life it most likely happened due to the disappearance of God realm" Nero concluded .
' The martial soul of my father's family is an inherited katana which randomly exhibited a random effect while my mother's martial soul was space energy so even if yamato is my martial soul no one will suspect anything odd 'Nero thought to himself while remembering the so called history of his father's family and the other benefit to this is that he could learn Swordsmanship easily and Vergil's skills won't seem suspicious as his father's family always made their own soul skills based on their martial soul's effect.
"Aria which faction side do you think i should take" Nero asked Aria as he was wondering to which faction's side he should take [Nero i think the best path is to tag along tang wulin and wu changkong till you are eligible for Shrek and join spirit pagoda] suggested Aria "I get the sticking to wu changkong for opportunities part but why spirit pagoda?" Nero asked because he didn't understand why spirit pagoda [ I believe because it is relatively easy to control compared to other forces and you can stay balanced without taking anyone's side as spirit pagoda is the biggest organisation providing souls in current era and no one wants it gone at the same time you can interfere between soul beasts and humans easily while Sea god pavilion ,God of war temple,etc. are bound by many ideological things] stated Aria clarifying Nero's doubt ' now that think about it I don't want to be on anyone's side it is best if i make my decisions based on my desire not the circumstances ' Nero thought to himself after Aria's explanation.
"Aria do you by any chance know the benefit of last perk from Earth's will" Nero asked because he still didn't understand what he get out of his 5 year amnesia.
[The major benefit of the perk was that you can become a god without any position as the natural limits of human being is not at Rank 99 but Dragon god in his prime time imposed a ban on human bloodline and after his death the five god kings imposed ban on soul beasts so the final situation is that path for both human beings and soul beasts was severed] ' so that's why humans of the douluo star had limits while other beings such as elf and creatures of fairy continents in soul land 5 could cultivate continuously as long as they had talent to do so ' Nero thought to himself . After visiting through all the information he could collect Nero went out of the library.
"Ok Aria lets see what these EVOK can do" Nero said and got ready to experiment with Aria's ability.
_______
Now chapters are a bit short as it is only a prologue the word count will exceed after the story steps into the main arc i don't want to reveal all the history of Nero's family and his past life i will slowly reveal it in future
After getting all the information that Nero could get his hands on he decided to test Aria's skill in his back garden.After some twists and turns he arrived at the garden. Well calling it a garden would be a huge understatement.
It looked more like a mini forest filled with towering trees and many types of plant soul beasts under 100 years although they were all safe species such as blue silver grass,green lotus,etc.This scenery was something he couldn't find in his previous life so it was refreshing to say the least.
"So how should we do this?" Nero asked Aria as although he knew how EVOK worked but he didn't know it in depth as Aria did.[Explaining it would be hard why don't i show you what would you like your first skill to be]
"Hmm let's start with hacking and coding as technology is all over the world now unlike the situation 10000 years ago" Nero pondered for a few moments and decided.
[Now i will use your soul watch to acquire all the available knowledge about coding and hacking] said Aria and a few moments after it his watch which was connected to the internet started opening multiple web pages.
______
Fast forward 1 hour
______
[Done now i am uploading everything i did with coding and hacking using EVOK] suddenly Nero's brain was filled with massive amounts of knowledge and it didn't feel like he was suddenly gaining it all in a few seconds but like he did all those things multiple times."This is fascinating!" Nero exclaimed as not only he learned coding and hacking of the highest level but he could improve the codes to a much higher level .Nero also realised that EVOK had a silent feature, which is if he can collect all knowledge regarding a specific thing the entire history of that thing will be available for him.
Apparently coding in this world was created by a soul master 3000 years ago whose Martial soul was an irregular number of words which no one could recognise in this world but it was actually basic machine language from Earth.It was most likely that he was from Earth but he didn't have his memory of Earth except his basic instinct of coding although Nero was not sure.It seems all the perks that he and Aria got have some hidden features. "Haah it will be a pain in the ass to find them" Nero exhaled thinking of it.
[ Maybe we shouldn't worry about that they will somehow reveal themselves] Aria comforted him " Perhaps you are right" Nero stated " Now let's work on something serious it seems like I can't get Vergil's legacy before soul awakening so it is better if i work on my Swordsmanship what do you think Aria" Nero asked as it was the only thing he could do to enhance my combat power.[Yes it is also the best way i can think of, Swordsmanship is one of the most important aspects of Vergil's Legacy and it is best if we work on that] said Aria finalising Nero's decision, with that in mind Nero went where his family's record of Swordsmanship were stored.
_______
After asking from Sebastian Nero found himself in an ancient style room with scrolls describing various styles of Swordsmanship.There were countless types focusing on different aspects such as precision,one point force break,wide coverage, defensive which Nero's ancestors devloped based on their katana effects. Nero was thinking about what to focus on when Aria stated [ It will be best if you let me scan all these scrolls and develop a style which maximizes your future abilities].
After a moment of thought Nero realised that it was true as he didn't only have Yamato but also Sparda bloodline "Ok, let's do this" he decided and let Aria scan all the scrolls.
_______
Scan-no-Jutsu later
_______
[Ding! is probably what you should have heard if you had a system ,joke aside I created a sword style suitable to vergil's ability but it's odd that i didn't get the history of your family through these scrolls it looks like one sword style is specifically hidden from these scrolls well here is the description of the sword art i could come up with all the available knowledge and do name it.]
[
•Unknown sword style-: Sword art created by combining the core points of Nero's family sword styles to complement the power of The Alpha and The Omega. It primarily focuses on precise ,strong and fast strikes using Vergil's demonic power and Yamato's law of separation.Long range space strikes can also be unleashed if the user has enough control over Yamato's power
]
"well it looks like EVOK showed its charm again this sword style is probably the most compatible with Vergil's combat style which focuses on technique unlike Dante who used devil arms and i may have to look more into my family's roots but not now i am neither strong nor informed enough" Nero thought as it will only bring him more problems with that settled he went towards his room.
The sun is still not completely out yet and the surroundings are still hazy with fog. In the middle of a garden surrounded by blue silver grass a boy wearing a dark blue shirt and shorts with white hair is practicing with a katana. The rhythm of his moves seems simple at first but if observed carefully it is elusive leaving no dead ends at all with every strike being precise and deadly.
"Huff...Huff..Huff.." Nero breathed heavily after finishing practising with the revenant sword style yes that's the name he gave it to bring back and reforge the sparda legacy in this world. After stabilizing his breath he remembered that its been a few weeks since Aria created the revenant sword style and even though the sword art was in his head he still wanted to make them his instincts.
At first Nero thought like coding he would instantly master the sword moves but after practicing for the first time he realised how wrong he was, even though the Sword style was in his mind his body couldn't react fast enough to execute those moves. Nero's body and mind were out of sync and if revenant sword style which was still behind Vergil's sword art was this profound and precise to execute he could only imagine how much effort the original vergil had to go through to create his combat style.
After taking a rest Nero realised that the sun is rising and Sebastian should have prepared my breakfast and things for school yes even though he can learn all the knowledge available at once he still has to pretend to go to school "sigh! lets go back" Nero sighed and lamented his fortune. [giggle..giggle..] ' so she is also teasing me whatever i give up ' with that thought Nero went towards the mansion.

I am not showing hate to dante by saying he used demon arms.This sentence only meant that Dante preferred a diverse weapon fighting style.
Don't worry the story will not stick to the protagonist and blah blah there will be twists and turns to support character growth.
