Chapter 2 - : Transmigration (Edited)
Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Transmigration (Edited)
As I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a torrent of light that momentarily blinded me. After a few minutes, my vision began to adjust, revealing the drastic changes in my surroundings: luxurious furnishings, elegant carpets. Shaking off the dizziness, I took in my new reality, astonished by the transformation of my room. But what truly caught my attention was the breathtaking view outside—a vast expanse of land adorned with towering trees lay before me, a sight that seemed almost surreal.
"What in the world... Where am I? Wait, I remember falling asleep because I was utterly exhausted." As I pondered my circumstances, finding them oddly intriguing, a glimmer of excitement began to stir within me. With wide eyes, I rose from the bed, driven by the urge to seek out a mirror and behold my reflection. Upon finding one, I stood before it, only to be met with a startling revelation: staring back at me was a teenage boy with hair as white as snow and eyes of a penetrating red that sent shivers down my spine. "WAIT, HOLD ON, IS THIS REAL?" I could scarcely believe it.
Incredibly handsome, with a jawline so chiseled it seemed sculpted by the hands of a master artist, and a face so flawless it appeared divine. I couldn't help but scream with excitement, "AHAHAAHHAAH, to hell with everyone in my previous world; I'm more beautiful than all of you combined!" My elation knew no bounds; this revelation had taken me completely by surprise, yet I couldn't help but laugh.
In most transmigration stories I've read, the protagonists often feel sad and resentful about leaving their home or family, "Screw all of you bastards, sons of bitches, I have no one to miss... wait... My money, damn it! I saved for so many years just to die in the end." My expression turned extremely grim; money was everything to me, as I had no girlfriend or romantic relationship, money was my best friend.
After calming my racing heart and admiring myself in the mirror a few more times, reveling in my newly discovered beauty, a sense of familiarity with this person washed over me. As I sat on the bed, running my hand along my jawline, a sharp pain pierced through my head, as if I had been stabbed in the brain. "AHHHHHHHHHHH." The pain was excruciating; rolling on the bed, I could bear it no longer and blacked out. Upon opening my eyes again, new information flooded my mind.
"Now I am Anthony Von Valeriano, son of Duke Noah Von Valeriano, and my mother is Esmelada Von Valeriano. Wait, also a twin sister, Emily Von Valeriano, who has the same hair and eye color as me."
"My family, being of royal blood through my mother, and my father being the duke of the dragon territory, as it is known in the kingdom, holds significant military power. Our motto is 'only the strongest survive.' We are located in the north, where there are more monster invasions. We are a prestigious family, and much is expected of our descendants, as it is said that dragon blood runs through our veins, a lineage highly esteemed by all other nobles."
The empire is, of course, ruled by the royal family, known as the House of Wolves, characterized by hair as dark as night and light gray eyes, and they are known for fiercely defending their own. The other family responsible for the political aspect is the duchy in the western part of the kingdom, known as the House of Ravens, characterized by having brown hair and brown eyes. This house produces unparalleled geniuses in business and is the wealthiest family in the kingdom.
The Phoenix family in the south is characterized by red hair and yellow eyes, focusing on fire magic and producing unparalleled geniuses for the kingdom. The Snake family in the east is characterized by green hair and eyes; each noble focuses on espionage and creates top-notch assassins to eliminate any threats to the kingdom. The Witch family, located in the same kingdom, is characterized by purple hair and eyes. They are the most sinister family, as their descendants practice curses and dark magic.
Wait, that wasn't much information for now; I pursed my lips, shrugging my shoulders, sometimes this is more important than strength itself; information can help you in many more things.
Lost in my thoughts about the other families that I hadn't covered, the sound of someone knocking on the door distracted me.
"KNOCK KNOCK."
"Come in."
Opening the door, I saw a woman in her forties, dressed as a maid with short black and blue hair, bowing her head.
"Young master, breakfast is ready. The duke requests your presence in the dining hall."
Nodding, I say, "Alright, I'll be down shortly." I stand there looking surprised, and after snapping out of her stupor, she nods and leaves.
"Well, I guess I have to meet my new family."
Smiling from ear to ear, I vaguely recall that Anthony's attitude in the novel was very arrogant and disdainful towards everyone else, quite conceited and annoying. Usually, this brought him a bad reputation, but it wasn't until he tried to violate his "engaged" partner that his downfall came, and his family had to apologize to the royal family. The humiliation of a dragon having to bow its head to apologize didn't sit well with his father, which led to the cancellation of the marriage.
"Wait, now that I remember, wasn't today the day my father would punish him for his behavior?"
"SHIT, I'M SCREWED."
True Antonio was undoubtedly a total annoyance, although his family always tried to support him, he never allowed himself to be helped, and after they no longer paid attention to him, he retaliated by doing anything that would affect the relationship with the other ducal. houses, in fact, it's a miracle he's still alive now. Swallowing dry saliva, I try to calm my nervousness, my hesitation is very clear, I have to do something quickly, I can't allow Anthony's fate, which is mine, to suffer that end, my thoughts run a mile a minute, staying Dazed for a while, a simple idea crosses my mind.
"Wait, the answer is very simple, I just have to act like a good servant, besides I don't want to be stupidly weak, if I stay as I am, they will undoubtedly still be angry with me, so the most logical The solution is to solve all my problems, damn it, real Anthony, you made it hard for me." With resentment in my eyes, I leave my room.
