Chapitre 1: Ch 1: 99th Son of Holy Pope
Noah woke up from his sleep, finding himself lying on a soft bed. He looked around the room, which was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
For the past week, Noah had been staying in this room. These few days had made him more mature than his age and realize many things he was previously unaware of.
If his mom were still alive, she might even think he was not her son and that someone had possessed him.
Well, it wouldn't be a surprise, since from now on he was Noah Blackburn but at the same time, he was Leo from a different world where humans developed with the help of technology.
What Noah never expected was to remember his past life's memories after experiencing a life-and-death situation.
When Noah turned his head, he saw a golden pendant with the picture of the Goddess of Light inscribed on it.
The pendant was something his mother gave him on her deathbed. She had told Noah that once he showed it to the Church, he would be able to meet his father.
But before he could show it to them, he was attacked by a pack of wolves on the way to the Holy City.
The escorts he had hired all died protecting him before he lost consciousness.
When he thought of them, a sharp pang of guilt twisted in his chest. He clenched his fists, nails digging into his palms, as he grappled with the memory of their sacrifice. Noah wasn't exactly a kind person, unlike his naive mother, but he wasn't indifferent either.
Maybe God didn't want him to die early, and he was saved by the Sacred Knights of the Holy City who were passing by.
After waking up, he was told that he was the 99th son of the Holy Pope, the person with supreme authority in the Holy City and Holy Church of Light that has branches all over the Eastern continent of the world ruled by humans.
When he first heard about it, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. If he didn't have the knowledge of his past, he would have thought they were pranking him.
He looked around the house, which was neither very small nor big. Other than the soft bed he was lying on and a wooden study table, there seemed to be nothing else in the entire room.
'Did I really make the correct decision?' he thought for a moment.
"Young Master? Have you woken up?" A gentle voice drifted through the door, breaking his daze.
Noah got startled upon hearing this voice and calmly walked outside of the room.
When he arrived outside, he saw a beautiful young lady dressed in a maid's uniform. She had silky black hair, clear eyes, and a very good figure that could have made her a model in his past life world.
'Did she come here to declare what the Family of the Pope has decided for me?' Noah thought.
Seeing him coming out of the room and then looking at her intently made the maid blush slightly and lower her head.
She then inquired carefully, "Young master, are you feeling alright?"
Noah was silent for a few seconds. "It's okay, but let me ask you something," he waved his hand and spoke calmly.
"Yes, Young Master, please ask me anything," the maid replied instantly.
"So what have they decided to do with me?" Noah asked. He wasn't fooled by her shy appearance and directly asked the question that had been bugging him for a while.
"Eh?"
The maid looked at Noah in surprise, but when she saw his expression was serious, she again held her head down and spoke.
"Young master has been given the position of Acolyte of the 'Order of Scribe' and has been appointed as the apprentice for the 1st floor of the Church Library." She replied with a hint of concern in her voice, but she soon found out that it was unnecessary.
"Hahaha! Good." Noah was genuinely happy when he heard her response. Even though the position of the Acolyte in the Library meant that he was basically out of the race for the position of Holy Son, he didn't regret his decision, especially after knowing that the world he was living in was exactly the same as a novel his past self had read in his past life.
Because in this world, there existed true extraordinary powers.
Here, strong knights could destroy mountains and small cities with a single punch from their bodies.
There were also wizards who could invoke spells powerful enough to summon fire, water, and other elements.
"You can leave now," Noah finally spoke to the maid who stood beside him like a frozen statue.
The maid hesitated for a moment before leaving the place at a slow pace.
....
At first, he wasn't able to believe that the world he was living in was a mere novel and was in denial.
But he was forced to believe when he saw the Black Book that had been hovering above his head since the day he awakened his memories.
"Open the information of Mary," Noah gave a command to the Book. The book buzzed for a few seconds before a silver page opened, revealing the picture of Mary and her information.
[[Name: Mary.
Age: 30 years.
Affiliation: Maid of Noah Blackburn, Holy Church of Light.
Spirit Aptitude: B Rank.
Affinity: Shadow.
Cultivation: Adept Wizard (Level 1).
Fate: Extra (She is nothing in the grand scheme of future events).]]
This was the complete content of the 1st page of the book. Noah stood where he was, the corners of his mouth twitching when he saw her fate that was similar to his fate.
After probing a few more times, Noah closed the book.
"This is not a bad start!" Putting the matter of the book aside, Noah felt that his luck was pretty good.
Not only had he joined a Transcendent Power that is ranked among the top 5 organizations in the Eastern continent, but he also became the son of the Holy Pope.
Well, maybe the last part wasn't that significant since he was only the 99th son with B Rank aptitude in magic and hadn't met his own father until now.
But at the very least, he had his own cheat.
That's right, Noah also had a good cheat that could help him grow stronger in the future.
It was just that he was too shocked for the past few days, so he didn't use it much.
Noah closed his eyes, and his consciousness began to sink deep into his body.
Soon a spot of black light appeared before Noah's eyes.
As his consciousness got closer, the black dot became bigger and bigger. When his consciousness came into contact with the light, he felt an emotion of endless hunger from it.
At the same time, he felt his link with the Black Book becoming stronger.
