Chapter 9: Mother

Swoosh..."

"Swoosh..."

"999."

"Swoosh..."

"1000."

"Huff... Huff..."

Lying on the ground after a thousand sword swings, I took deep breaths to try to calm my pounding heart.

Eden had been living a rather idleness for three years, so my body wasn't used to such strenuous activity.

It had been two days since I had fully integrated Eden's memories, yet not much had changed.

I spent the majority of my time in my room or in the personal training hall.

I avoided interacting with my family on purpose, staying to myself since I didn't want to face them. Nobody was surprised by my efforts in the training hall, because Eden had periodically tried to better himself in the past, only to give up because of a lack of drive and encouragement.

"Good job, young master."

Sarah's voice returned me to the present moment, and I looked up to see her approaching. Her hair was perfectly done in a bun and she was dressed in her customary traditional maid attire. She gave me a towel to wipe the sweat from my face.

"Thank you."

I thanked him and accepted the towel, my clothes soaked up in sweat from the strenuous workout.

"The bath is ready."

She reminded me, gently, that I should have a bath after my workout.

"I'll be there in a minute."

I smiled and watched her walk away. Sarah, the head maid, now served me personally rather than through the other maids. She had taken on the task to prevent any additional scolding or firing of maids as a result of Eden's anger tantrums in the past. Eden's respect from the past made her an ideal candidate to oversee me.

I strolled through the beautiful residence after a nice bath. From the artwork on the walls to the magnificent vases and sumptuous furniture, everything screamed richness. I took my time making my way to a specific room.

"Click."

I opened the door with a gentle click.

The room had a strong medicinal odor, and a woman in her late twenties rested quietly in front of me.

Stephanie Morton is her name.

Her silver hair, which mirrored my hair before my first awakening, was sprawled across the bed.

The words on the pages began to carry me back to the origins of the world I now inhabited—the fascinating planet Atlantis.

Connecting the dots between the imaginary game "Saga of Atlantis" and the concrete reality I now found myself in was an awe-inspiring experience.

As I delved deeper into the book, Atlantis appeared before me like a brilliant painting.

A super-earth significantly larger in scale than Earth itself, with water covering 65% of its surface and the remaining land distributed among diverse races.

Four continents have emerged as foundations of global diversity:

Eldoria continent:

A realm controlled by beastmen, distinguished by their peculiar beast-like traits.

Eldoria is ruled by one empire, three federations, and eighteen kingdoms.

Despite internal strife, they remained unified in the face of external attacks. Knights, the epitome of power, were common among them.

Elysium Continent

This continent, dominated by the elves, was endowed with an abundance of plant life.

The elves ruled a single empire and were noted for their longevity and closeness to nature. Their culture was characterised by their appreciation of tranquility and environment.

Drakonia Continent:

Drakonia was one of two human-ruled continents next to my current home. Its empire ruled over a number of kingdoms.

Our own king sought an alliance, oblivious to the power-hungry ambitions that might result.

"Ha ha"

I chuckled at the irony as I grasped the potential for mayhem that such an alliance would bring.

Now that I was concentrating on Eve's Continent, my new home, I discovered it was quite small, only half the size of the second-smallest continent.

We produced ores and minerals for the dwarves, making our realm prosperous.

Eve's Continent was dominated by a single great monarchy, the Morovingians, whose royal family wielded enormous influence.

Dukedoms were important, with four houses guarding each side of our kingdom:

In the north, the Morton family

Stormwind Family in the East

Nightshade Family in the West

Ironheart family in the south,

Finally, there was the enigmatic "Forgotten Continent," the final element of this complex world.
