Bab 1: The Beginning
You know, I never thought that I would get reincarnated into a new world. However, this is not your ordinary world, This world is named Gaia, and it is filled with fantasy creatures that can only be told in fantasy novels and fanfic.
My name was Joshua before it changed into Isaac Lionheart, the son of Count Lionheart.
That is right. I'm reincarnated into a noble family.
The Lionheart family lived on the northern side of the continent called Izoth.
There are five continents around the world. Izoth is located on the western side of the world, where ten rulers rule the continent. My land is under the Vulux kingdom wing, the kingdom that rules the continents' northern side.
While the Vulux Kingdom is the ruler of the largest land on the continent, only a handful of Lords govern the land, and most of the lords live on the southern side of the Vulux Kingdom, where the crops can grow at a fast pace.
On the other hand, the lord who governs the northern side of the Vulux Kingdom needs to limit our food intake, hoping to preserve some of the food for the winter. Not only the food, but we also have a problem with the local monster. There are too many monsters roaming around this region that some of the land's lords are gone because of the monster outbreak.
Oh? Do you think that is the only thing that we need to watch out for? Well, too bad because many savage men called the Men of Arriamir ready to kill and enslave our people and take our food.
However, there is a positive side out of all this. The people of the north eat less food than their southern counterparts. The people of the north also need to fight constantly because of the monster and the savage man. The north will always have an army ready to march if a war is coming knocking at our door.
While the Izoth continent did not discriminate against another race other than humans, many noblemen see a demi-human as a lower class race than humans. The Lionheart family did not discriminate against Demi-Human, which is why a good number of the population in our land consisted of Demi-Human.
The Lionheart Family also has an ally to our north, where most snow and mountains are located. They are the people of Dalagull, their population consists of a dwarf, but there is also another race in that land.
From the memory of this body, the Dalagull people are a loyal bunch. They will immediately come to assist us when they receive a letter saying that we need their help. The reason is that they believe that a great shame will come to those who do not help a friend in need, for their harsh land has taught them the value of cooperation.
Of course, we also help them by selling our food to them at the lowest price we can. So while we don't make a profit as your usual merchant does, we still get a profit nonetheless.
Now, let's talk about my land, shall we? The land where the Lionheart family lived is not a harsh place to live like the Dalagull. However, we still need our people to be ready as the monster outbreak is still happening. Not only that but there is also a five tribe of the savage men of Arriamir nearby, ready to kill our merchant and farmer.
The land is not as fertile as the southern land, but we still can plant crops and get a bountiful harvest. The people of my land usually plant crops that can grow in the snow, like spinach, beets, and cabbage.
We also have a trade agreement with the other lord in the south. We usually sell our iron to them at a high price as the one with an iron mine is the lord of the north.
Anyway, the castle where I lived is called Sea Dragon Castle. The reason is that the Lionheart family has a lion as our family symbol, and my city is a port city. The land itself is called the Sea Dragon Point, so yeah, my ancestor is not really creative in naming something.
However, there is one thing that I really hate in my current situation. Whoever sent me into this world is a d*ck. I arrived in this world after the announcement of my father's death. He died while fighting an army of Arriamir outside the castle.
It has been a week since the ceremony, and now, it is my duty to continue his work as a Lord.
"My Lord, the representative from the Dalagull has come."
"Oh? Then let's greet them."
I walk out of my office and then go to the gate, where I see a group of burly men riding a polar bear. The one that leads the group is a dwarf. Like any other dwarves, he is not very tall, maybe around 150 cm in height, but his body is built like a wall. Even with the armor, I can see all the muscles ready to use against his foe.
"Welcome to Sea Dragon City, Lord Lomun."
The one that I greeted is Lord Lomun MacGrath. The current Lord of Dalagull and the sworn brother of my father. So technically, he is my uncle.
"Bah! You can call me uncle Isaac. Your father and I are a sworn brother."
I smile a little at his word before saying.
"Of course, uncle. Please come inside."
I lead my uncle to the meeting room. Then, when all of the guests sit on the chair, I say.
"What is the reason you come here, uncle?"
"We come here to attend the funeral of your father. But, sadly, we cannot arrive in time because of the distance between Dalagull and Sea Dragon City. For that, I'm sorry."
I am surprised when I see him bow at me, and his followers also bow at me.
"Please, raise your head, uncle. I understand why you cannot attend the funeral."
"Thank you for your understanding."
"Do you want to visit the Crypt?"
"Yes, if you allow me to visit it."
"Of course. Please follow me."
I led uncle Lomun to the crypt, where I left him mourning the loss of my father. I can tell from the memory inside my head; I know that Lomun and my father is like a blood brother rather than a sworn brother.
Fifteen minutes later, Lomun gets out of the crypt.
We then walk to the meeting room once again, where I see the maid already preparing some food for us. We spent another fifteen minutes in the feast, and when we finished eating all the food, it was time for a lordy business.
"Now, shall we start?"
"Yes, let's finish this quickly."
"Then let me ask you first, Lord Lomun. What can I, Lord of Sea Dragon City, do for you?"
"I come here to ask you if you want to change the agreement between our people? I know the previous lord said that you would not change the agreement, but I want to make sure as I want to prepare my people if you change or cancel the agreement."
"No. I, as the lord of Sea Dragon City, declare that the Lionheart family will continue the alliance between Dalagull and Sea Dragon City."
"Good, that's good."
"So, is that all?"
"No. I come here also to offer you something."
"Oh?"
"I want to let my daughter marry you."
"Huh?"
"I want to let my first daughter marry you."
"I see… I cannot accept it right now…."
"Why? Is my daughter not enough for you?"
"No, that's not it. Your daughter is a beautiful lady, and I feel honored to marry her."
And I'm serious about that. Lucina is a beautiful young lady with a bold personality. She is beautiful in her swordplay like she is beautiful in her personality. She is smart and understands politics. She is a perfect wife to any lord.
"Then?"
"I don't want to marry her when she doesn't like me. I want to marry out of love and not a forced marriage. I want to get close to her first and know about her a little more. Let her stay here for a year, and if she is okay with me being her husband, then I will marry her."
"Heh! I don't think she will complain about my decision to marry her to you, but I will agree with your decision."
"Thank you."
We spend the rest of the day having a pleasant conversation and drink some wine the maid brings to the table. Finally, when the sun is setting, I order some servants to lead my guest to the guest room and go back to my room.
When I arrive inside my bedroom, I touch the wall's seemingly random surface, but instead of a normal wall, I see a portal open up. This is the power I get from whoever sends me to this world.
This portal will lead me to a pocket dimension. The pocket dimension size is massive; it can fit a medium-sized country inside. Inside the pocket, dimension is an island sitting the size of a small country like South Korea, and the rest of the place is filled with water.
At the edge of the island stood a mansion. This mansion is the place where I can sleep or train. Inside, the mansion is filled with an unlimited source of food, water, gas, electricity, medicine, and first aid kit supplies. Hell, it also even has internet access that is connected to my previous life somehow.
Not only that, but the Mansion is also filled with materials like Metal, Art Supplies, Simple Tools, and Hardware. I also can use any material needed to create something. However, I cannot summon any complete product like a computer or a TV, for example.
There is also an entertainment room where there is a TV where I can watch any film that existed in my previous world. Finally, a self upgrading God-tier computer that filled any games in my previous world, I only need to open up the equivalent of Steam program and download the game. To the side is the console place where there is a console in my previous world, including the game.
Next to the entertainment room, there is a training room where I can work out and train my muscles. Not only my muscles, but I also can train my instinct and swordplay in this room because there is a simulation room where I can do sparring with a mannequin that will attack me. There is also a nice effect in the training room. I get four times the strength every time I train in this room. Not only that, but I can also limit my strength, so I will continue to increase my strength. Sadly this training room consumes a lot of my stamina, and for some reason, the room knows when my stamina gets depleted and will not let me train my body if my stamina is empty.
I also can take anything from my pocket dimension, but it was limited to ten kilograms of worth items per day. If I try to take more than ten kilograms worth of items, then the said item will disappear, and I can't take any more items for one day. For the last five days, I have already saved a gold bar. Right now, I have sixty gold bars worth of money sitting in my personal vault. I intended to make that gold as my emergency money.
I also can choose which time when I exit my pocket dimension. I can choose the next second. I walk inside my pocket dimension. The time inside the pocket dimension is still working like the real world, but I can choose when I exit the pocket dimension.
Because of these features, now I can try the last feature of this pocket dimension, alternate dimension-hopping. I can jump to ANY alternate dimension to learn any magic, martial art, or search for rare metal to forge for myself. Sadly I cannot choose the specific universe to jump to and only choose a general explanation of the universe. Like 'I want to go to the magic world with a low-level threat' or if I want a challenge, 'I want a dangerous world where I can hone my skill.'
For now, I want to go to the world of magic because any magician in this world will always go to the Magician tower where they will isolate themselves from the world and can only be called back home if there is a disaster happening like a war, plague or natural disaster like an earthquake. Other than that? They cannot go back, and they will stay loyal to the magician tower. They cannot take their lordly duty or even take their role as a king; that is how strict the magician tower is. This is why the only one that comes to the magician tower is the second and third son of nobility.
There are magic books and tomes spread out across the world, but they are not as good as the authentic magician's teaching. The oath magician takes not to spread out the Tower of Magician's teaching, but there is no rule about 'accidentally' dropping a magic book inside their family mansion/castle.
This is the reason why I want to learn magic. My family is known for the family with magic inside their body, but sadly for me, I'm the only son of the Lionheart family's former lord. I have a little sister, but she is currently four years old and cannot go to the Tower of Magician because the Tower only accepts people of age between 10 years old to 25 years old.
Right now, I'm fifteen years old, an acceptable age to be accepted into the Tower of Magicians, but if I do that, I loudly declare that I don't want the position as the Count of Sea Dragon Point.
While I want to learn some magic because you know, Magic! I still want to keep my position as the Count of Sea Dragon Point.
"Alright, let's do this."
I walk toward the door with a word above it that says. 'Dimension Hopping, Please say your general wish first before walking inside.'
"I want to go to a world where I can learn magic and without thinking about the enemy wants to kill me."
After saying that, I see the door open up and see a whirlpool with a kaleidoscope color. I walk inside, and I can see my body get sucked up before I only see blank.
