A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 2

Master swordsman Kaladun (1)

Was he possessed, or was he belatedly regaining memories of his past life?

After signing a contract with Calantatis, Hawon opened his eyes to a new world and became a 6-year-old boy named ‘Harang Caladun’.

‘Harang. It’s similar to the original name. It looks exactly like my childhood… … .’

At first, I didn’t really understand what was happening and was confused, but when I woke up one night, my body’s memories began to flow into me.

What kind of family situation have I had and how have I been doing over the past six years?

What kind of place is the Kaladan family?

After finding his memories, he once again realized that the new life he had been given was very difficult and not easy.

‘My past life wasn’t that easy as I lived with a terminal illness, but… … .’

The young body of a six-year-old is vulnerable to cold and heat.

However, this terrible family put such a child in a cabin in the woods where it was cold in the winter and hot in the summer.

‘He likes prestigious families.’

What would it be like if you were born into the lineage of the Dukes of Kaladan, one of the three heroic families on the continent?

He is credited with founding the Herael Empire!

Descendants of the hero Caladorn, who sealed away the worst guardian, the Black Dragon King, along with the Dragon King Calantatis hundreds of years ago!

Kaladun, a great hero.

This was the family where Harang was born and raised, but he was not even treated as a blood relative of the famous heroic family.

Does it even exist in the first place?

The reason was because Harang was ‘the illegitimate son of an abandoned child.’

An abandoned child, an illegitimate child. Either one would be miserable, but both would be miserable.

Even though his father was born into a family of heroes, especially Kaladun, who is called a ‘master of swordsmanship’, he did not hold a sword.

This was the reason why my father was called ‘the abandoned child of Caladun’ within the family that most hated the weak.

In the meantime, he brought a woman who was a wizard to the palace, fell in love with her without permission, and gave birth to a child without even marrying her, so how could he look good?

Her mother died while giving birth to Harang, and her father died from an unknown disease.

It’s already been two years since I held my parents’ small funeral.

There is no one left around him.

It was said that it was the matriarch’s last care to avoid being completely kicked out of the palace and to be able to stay in a hut in the forest and live under the care of pitiful attendants.

‘It doesn’t matter that I don’t have any family because I don’t remember their faces in the first place and I don’t really think of them as my real parents… … .’

He was sitting quietly in the corner of a single room in a cramped cabin with his eyes closed. It is not because there is a good reason.

The habit from my previous life, which was the belief that lying down weakens one’s mental strength, has been carried over.

‘I used to stay in a room like this in my past life as a child.’

In my previous life, when I was young, I was a wandering life without a proper home. A small shipping container box was his home, and he had to use a public bathroom to wash up.

When I think back to that time, this place didn’t feel vaguely unfamiliar.

I just felt a little strange.

“Calantatis.”

Harang, who was sitting in a corner and organizing his thoughts, recited the name of the silver white dragon who had brought him to this place.

No answer.

“… … Calantatis?”

I called his name to ask what was going on, but there was no answer.

Harang was devastated and called his name one more time with one last hope.

“Calantatis!”

Then, a translucent window suddenly appeared in the air and a system message was displayed.

━━━[Main Quest]━━━

Prepare for the coming darkness

*Content: Calantatis, the Dragon King of the Moon, summoned you as a hero to protect the continent of Astera from darkness. However, Calantatis is sealed and cannot move.

Until he wakes up, devote yourself to training and prepare for the coming darkness… … .

*target: ???

*compensation: ???

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“quest… … ?”

Harang read it calmly because he had no idea that the game system would be used here as well.

‘So, Calantatis, who summoned me here and left me here, was already sealed?’

The situation was even more absurd than I thought. So how do we overcome this crappy situation where we are barely breathing with only the title of master swordsman?

Calantatis said as he signed a contract with Harang. He was born as a ‘descendant of the hero Kala Dawn’ so that his talents could blossom here as well, and he would be able to perform in the most perfect environment.

However, let alone the most perfect environment, even the conditions for proper training were not provided.

It is clear that he is a descendant of Caladorn. However, because his father did not properly learn swordsmanship, he was unable to inherit swordsmanship, and the people of the Kala Dun family do not even know of his existence.

‘Whoa, I guess I’ll have to take care of it.’

As I slowly traced my memories, I could easily see how great Calantatis was in this world.

The anecdote that he single-handedly drove the Black Dragon clan that ruled the world to the brink of annihilation and tore down the gate with his bare hands to prevent the demons from attacking is very famous.

Because the Caladern family itself is related to Calanthatis, it seems they don’t have a tendency to worship him, but isn’t it because they have actual achievements that fairy tales and legends about great people are born?

Even though I had made a contract with such an amazing dragon, I couldn’t rely on him for everything.

‘What I can do right now… … There is one.’

Harang, who was searching for memories, remembered the first thing he could do and his eyes lit up.

‘Choosing a gemstone.’

On the day that all of Kaladan’s blood relatives turn 7, they cut down a sacred tree with a true sword to recognize their talent.

From what I remember, if you don’t show talent here, you can’t even set foot in the training camp.

When I looked at the calendar, I saw that today was the day to select gemstones for a relative who was one year older than me. I won’t give a separate seat to an illegitimate child, so if I have a chance to show my talent, today is the only time.

‘Can I do it?’

I felt a little anxious because I hadn’t done anything properly with this body yet.

‘No, you have to do it. The only chance is today. If you miss it, there will be no next time.’

Harang clenched his fists.

Even though he signed a contract with Calantatis and was reincarnated, he couldn’t be so foolish as to doubt his own talent and give up before he even started.

‘I challenge you.’

In his head, Harang remembered where he could get his stones selected. Fortunately, this 6-year-old had not experienced much, so retrieving her memories was not difficult.

‘I have to go to the training ground first.’

I don’t know what this damn family is doing, but their house isn’t just a mansion, it’s openly using a palace. Was it also called the Palace of Calambrinho?

‘Crazy, a palace? It’s needlessly wide.’

I remember that the distance from the training ground here was quite long, so the time seemed to be quite short for a child’s body to reach it.

Harang quickly got dressed and left the cabin, kicking his feet on the floor and running.

Boom! As I stood up, my body shot forward as if it had been bounced on a rubber band.

‘My body feels light.’

As if gravity was much weaker than on Earth, the body was light and the running speed was much faster.

Not only did he have the ability to jump several meters, but his footwork was so fast that it was hard to believe he was a child.

‘Is the human body originally strong here? I don’t think so… … .’

When was the last time you jumped like this in your life? The cool feeling passing by my cheek made me feel good, but I didn’t have time to enjoy it.

After running for almost 30 minutes, when I was out of breath, the training ground in the distance came into view.

The selection of ores had already begun, as quite a number of knights were already camped out and waiting in the training hall.

The person standing at the center was Karik, who could also be said to be a relative of his deceased father. Looking next to him, I saw a short kid holding a real sword and looking very nervous.

Just today, it was a 7-year-old blood relative testing his talent.

Harang confidently passed through the crowd of knights.

“hmm? who… … ?”

It is natural that everyone’s attention is focused on the appearance of an unfamiliar child. But Harang was not intimidated.

He had a way to prove himself.

“Let’s pass by.”

“W-what?!”

Karik, who discovered him late, frowned.

“What is that child?”

“We don’t know either.”

“But you brought us all the way here? “Kick me out now!”

Karik shouted, but Harang rummaged through his pockets and took out a medal indicating Kaladun’s pureblood status.

“I’m a blood relative too, so there’s no problem if I come, right?”

“that… … “Are you really that idiot Melise’s child?”

He described his father as a fool, but Harang nodded without showing any particular expression.

“under! Melise I heard that that lowly bastard gave birth to her child and threw him away in a corner of the family. It was true. “I was wondering where he had been dying, but I’m glad to see what he’s up to.”

Although he spoke with as much sarcasm as he could towards the child, Harang remained calm and calm.

“I’m glad you’re happy.”

“… … .”

Karik, who felt like he had been ignored by a child, burst into tears for a moment, but held it back. In front of the knights, you must save face as a blood relative.

“What brought you here?”

“Let me take a look and see what it is.”

“You can only select gemstones when you are 7 years old and can accept mana into your body. “How old are you now?”

“Six years old.”

“It’s still early.”

“No, can’t I take it now? “Anyway, there’s no one who will make me take the test even when I turn 7, right?”

“… … .”

Karik slightly twitched his eyebrows.

It’s not that Harang is arrogant, but he is overly calm and conversant even though so many troops are gathered… … Because it was quite adult.

Besides, it wasn’t wrong.

Who would prepare a place like this for the illegitimate son of Melise, the abandoned child?

‘What is this guy? Are you saying you knew that and came here today? no way… … .’

Karik shook his head.

I probably found out about it by chance while passing by.

“Who says they will take the test as they please…” … .”

“no! “I’ll make you pay.”

“… … what?”

The person who objected to Karik’s words was a young woman who was standing in the back and quietly watching the scene. With her pink hair flowing, she slowly approached her lover, knelt down to meet her gaze, and smiled.

“Look at this. These bright silver eyes… … “This is proof that you are born with strong Caladan blood.”

One of the characteristics of the Kaladan family.

All blood relatives of the family are born with silver eyes. There was a superstition that the more sparkle there was in the eyes, the more talented one was in swordsmanship.

Karik’s expression scrunched up.

“Ha, what’s the big deal?”

“Anyway, it’s proof that he’s a pureblood from Kaladan. So, you are fully qualified to recognize talent. “Is that so, brother?”

As the woman looked behind her and asked, a man with pink hair nodded quietly.

“It might be worth a try. You guys, don’t just stand still and bring one more sacred tree and one more sword. Movement at the 7th training ground is slow.”

“Yes, yes!”

Karik’s expression crumpled as the man arbitrarily led the training hall.

“… … Go on. “Who said it was okay to proceed as we please?”

“Blood relatives born with Kaladun’s silver eyes are entitled to all the benefits. “It is a principle established by the previous head of the family.”

At those words, Karik chewed his lip as if he felt bad, but did not say anything else.

“hi?”

Meanwhile, the pink-haired woman continued to make eye contact with Harang and asked with sparkling silver eyes.

“My name is Arihil Paul Calladan. He is a direct pureblood. you?”

“Harang.”

“That’s a pretty name! Now, here is Jingeom. Do you know how to hold it? “You don’t know, right?”

Harang, who was examining the real sword handed to him by Arihil, held it with both hands.

‘oh?’

The posture was quite stable and well maintained, so Arihil looked surprised for a moment.

“Can I cut down the sacred tree?”

Foot. Laughter erupted from somewhere. No matter how colorful it was, there was no way that a six-year-old child could cut down a sacred tree.

The divine tree can only be cut down when you are 7 years old and train your mana.

It is absolutely impossible to cut with a sword that does not contain mana, unless you are a well-trained swordsman.

Therefore, the divine tree was traditionally used to test talent in Caladern.

How far can you go with a sword that does not contain mana?

“Ugh, just cut as much as you can.”

“Now, let’s take the test without wasting time.”

When Garaen gestured with his back to him, Karik made a disapproving expression but did nothing.

Karik’s relative was higher than Garaen, but because Garaen was more talented, his influence within the family was stronger.

“Start, Muran.”

“yes… … .”

The boy called Muran gritted his teeth and swung the real sword with all his might.

Spunk!

Is it true that he was born with Caladorn’s blood? He smoothly cut down the sacred tree with skill that was hard to believe for a 7-year-old boy.

The knife wasn’t completely stuck, and it stopped before it got halfway through.

The man in uniform still did not relax his expression. Although he didn’t seem to like it, Karik nodded happily and said that he was satisfied.

“That’s great, son. “It’s not easy to cut down a sacred tree that deeply at your age.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“next.”

Muran’s expression crumpled at Garaen’s indifferent tone, which was different from Karik’s praise.

‘What about that illegitimate child?’

Garaen didn’t look very excited either. This was because Harang held a sword for the first time today.

Regardless of their expectations, Harang was slightly surprised by the unexpectedly light feel of Jingeom.

‘This, this feeling… … .’

Is it simply because the sword is light?

no. It’s not like that.

‘I’m used to it.’

The feeling of holding the sword is vivid, as if you have been holding it for a long time.

Then it occurred to me.

This wasn’t the first time Harang had caught something called Jingeom.

Past life, when I was a professional gamer.

In a virtual reality game… … Haven’t you fought with countless types of swords?

This is while receiving ‘the blessing of the system.’

This was exactly the feeling I had at that time.

With the system calibrated, you feel like you can do anything by swinging the sword.

At that moment, a translucent window appeared in the air and a message appeared.

━━━[Sub Quest]━━━

Show your worth as a hero

*Content: It is time to test whether you are worthy of being a descendant of the warrior Caladhan and a contractor of Guardian Calanthatis.

*Goal: Recall the skills from your past life and completely cut the divine tree into pieces.

*Reward: Inheritance of System Protection

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Harang was momentarily taken aback by the system message that suddenly appeared in front of him, but quickly grasped the situation and smiled.

‘… It’s like a tutorial quest.’

Harang, with his eyes wide open, swung the Jingeom towards the sacred tree with all his might.

[Attribute ‘World’s Greatest Champion’ released]

[If the conditions are met, you will recall the skills you remember as the best champion of your life!]

Scum! The sword is drawn to the sacred tree like a magnet.

[Acquiring the skill ‘Two Edges’]

Suddenly!

… … It was divided exactly into two equal parts.

“W-what!”

“With a body that hasn’t even trained its mana yet, how…?” … !”

It was the first time this had happened since the first head of Caladhan.
