Chapter 4: Time skip
7 years later, 496 A.D.
A 17-year-old with slightly long black hair tied up in a ponytail could be seen reading a book. His exquisite pale yellow eyes moved with great speed as I read the contents of the book with great attention.
He was Alex.
"Finally... I found something." Alex murmured with a voice filled with happiness.
Closing the book with a big smile he got up from his bed with such energy that he threatens to go through the ceiling of his room.
Alex wrinkled his nose a little for a moment when he smelled the smell of sweat that his body gave off due to the training that ended an hour ago.
He immediately went to his bathroom that was inside his room and began to shower.
Alex in these last 7 years managed to get used to this world, although it was difficult at first, but he did it. He kept missing her mother, but with her training and so on, he managed to distract himself from and now he didn't think so much about her.
He also adapted to his new body and came to the conclusion that he had been reincarnated, after fully verifying his memories he realized that it was himself, but without memories.
After all they had the same custom, in Alex's case with no memories it was the sword when he got interested in it he didn't move away from his sword even when he was sleeping and in the case of the another Alex was the same when he went to the gym at bedtime he slept with the dumbbells.
But it wasn't just that, they had the same tastes in food, they got bored of the same things and one of those things was reading, that's why Alex without memories didn't touch a book in his life.
As he was a child he didn't have the experience of when he was in his previous world so after recovering his memories he realized he had to, even if he didn't like to read he would have to.
And what determined that he really was the same, but without memories, were the tastes in women and that they were just as perverted and introverted.
So his conclusion was that after receiving the beating from John that almost ended up killing him, he regained his memories of his previous life. But even so, knowing it was himself, having the name Alex and the last name of the shitty family he had in this life, it still had a bad taste in his mouth, but for now he put it down and I don't want to change his name.
He also met the members of his new family, with his mother Margaret he could only share a few words with her, she always tried to get out of the conversations she had with him, she did not want to be near him, she treated him like air.
His younger sister, Gerard, looked at him like dirt and always called him names when Margaret wasn't around.
He saw his father Matthew twice and didn't speak to him, just looked at him like dirt and nothing else.
His older half-brother, John, kept bothering him and even beating him, but luckily when John turned 16 he was sent to study at the Academy of Wizards and Knights, for a while the beatings stopped, but every time he came home, John found a moment to bother him to Alex and get away with it.
There were days when Alex was even in a coma. Alex couldn't do anything, he couldn't even fight him because of the difference in strength and asking someone for help would be of no use, not only would they not say anything to John but they would most likely tell Alex to shut up, and be thankful for continuing to be a prince.
He had endured it all this time for his sisters, but within him a terrifying rage that could even burn the heavens threatened to explode at any moment.
Alex in these years was reading every book in the castle library to find a cure for his problem. But he hadn't found anything so he found another library that was in his Kingdom, it was a huge library with many more books and stories.
This library is where, after reading all the books in that library, he was able to find a way to unclog his magical channels.
It was a magical herb called 'Heaven's Awakening' that made a person who couldn't cultivate mana, not only able to farm again, but it would give him an advantage, make him more talented at cultivation, and make him a genius.
But... There was a problem, this magical herb was just a story told by a madman in a book and no one took it seriously. But this was the last chance he had whether it was true or not, he would have to find out.
Alex in all these years was not only reading, but also kept training his body and practicing his swordsmanship, he discovered that he had talent with swords.
Although he didn't know how good he was, but he guessed it was good since he always trained with Celia and beat her by a wide margin, of course if it wasn't because Celia only fought with the same level of power as Alex, she would be the winner if she used her Level 4 Two Star Mage Realm power.
With just one of his moves, he could destroy every bone in Alex's body, and even worse, he could kill him if he didn't hold back. But Celia would never hurt Alex, so every time she trained with him, she did so at the same power level as Alex.
Alex every time he thought of Celia, he sighed helplessly.
He had also met his other half-sisters and his decision to stay was solidified, they were all very beautiful and loved Alex very much.
After spending time with them he also became fond of them and they talked about things whenever they could but Alex was the one who listened he didn't talk much even now after so long he was still an introvert he preferred to train and be alone.
When Alex finished taking a shower, he stood in the mirror and looked at his body, he was 174 cm tall, he was muscular and had 6 chiseled abs. All this with a handsome face he was sure that if he returned to the old world he would be the most handsome man on earth without a doubt, even in this world he was considered handsome even as a non-cultivator.
It was well known that when you were a cultivator you wouldn't become a handsome man or a top-tier beauty, but it did improve one's appearance and make them a bit more attractive. And he being a non-cultivator was more handsome than the cultivators who were always praised for his great beauty, those cultivators next to Alex would be frogs and Alex would be a prince charming out of a book.
Alex got serious and started making plans in his head to go on a journey to find the magic herb he read about.
He didn't know if it existed, but he had to try, he had already read every damn book in the Kingdom's library, there was nothing left to read and the only thing left was to believe that this magical herb was real.
He decided first to mark a travel route through the Kingdom of Talis, first he would start with a city called 'Clear Sky' that was a bit far from the kingdom, this town was near the Wolf Mouth cliff, it was the best place to start.
That place was known to have very tall vegetation, there were even stories that they found rare magic herbs while walking near the cliff.
Although finding magical herbs was so rare that it's better to look for a needle in an ocean, Alex decided to start his journey anyway, finishing putting his plans together in his head, he decided to leave after his younger half-sister Lisa turned 15 old within 2 months.
As she dried her body with a towel, he heard a knock at the door.
