Chapter 1: Transmigration
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Young Master, Young Master, it’s time for breakfast.”
An old but serious voice sounded in Zhao Hai’s ears. Zhao Hai did not care. He only felt an intense headache. He thought that his computer was not switched off and that the sound was coming from a t.v show.
But the voice continued, “Young Master, it’s time to get up. As a noble, getting up on time is a habit you need to maintain.”
Zhao Hai was stunned because this voice did not seem to be coming from the computer. This voice seemed to be coming from right beside his ear, and it was very real. It was definitely not the voice of his broken speaker.
Although his head hurt, Zhao Hai still forced himself to open his eyes. What he saw was not the white ceiling of his house, but a bed canopy.
Zhao Hai was stunned. He turned his head and realized that he was lying on a large bed. Beside the bed stood a man in his fifties. His gray hair was combed neatly, and he looked at him calmly.
Zhao Hai looked at the serious-looking old man in a daze. Then, he looked around. This was a plain room made of stone. Other than the big bed he was lying on, there was only a desk and a chair that could be considered furniture. The floor and walls seemed to have been cleaned recently. The window was a wooden frame with a layer of white paper on it. There was a shining stone above his head for illumination. There was nothing else in the entire house.
At this moment, the old man said again, “Young Master, you’re already well now. As a noble, you should maintain a routine. It’s breakfast time now. Please get up quickly.”
Zhao Hai’s eyes turned to the old man, and a thought suddenly flashed across his mind. He had transmigrated! Then, he felt a sharp pain in his head and fainted.
When Grimm Buda saw that Zhao Hai had fainted, he was dazed for a moment before quickly walking out. There were four people standing outside the room. Two men and two women. The two men were not old. They looked to be in their teens, but they were both two meters tall. Their skin looked like iron, and they had dark skin and short hair. The two of them had identical appearances. They were twins, but their expressions were quite idiotic.
One of the women was older, in her forties. She was fat and had blue hair. She had a kind-looking face, and was currently looking anxious.
The younger girl was only sixteen or seventeen. She had long green hair, a small oval face, a petite figure, and fair skin. She was quite beautiful. At the moment, she was looking down with a wooden expression.
Seeing Grimm come out, the older woman immediately asked, “Grimm, how is it? Is the young master awake?”
Grimm nodded, then shook his head. “He woke up, but fainted again. Merlyn, is your magic ineffective? Or is there something wrong with the medicine? Is someone messing with the medicine?”
Merlyn said with a cold expression, “If that’s the case, I’ll fight it out with those guys. Although Young Master is a little a*shole, he’s the last bloodline of the Buda family. Those b*stards of the empire, have they forgotten how much Master contributed for the empire back then? Those ungrateful b*stards.”
Grimm said solemnly, “You should go in and take a look. If there is something wrong, use water magic to heal the young master. No matter what, we have to protect the last bloodline of the Buda family.”
Merlyn nodded, but then looked fiercely at Grimm and said, “If Young Master recovers, you are not allowed to demand whatever noble etiquette from him. We are already in such a godforsaken place. What noble etiquette is still left? Let it all go to hell. Look at the faces of those nobles. Just thinking about it makes me disgusted.”
Grimm looked at Merlyn helplessly, but still said solemnly, “No, no matter what, Young Master is a viscount now. He has to be like a noble. I have to teach Young Master to be a true noble to not let down the kindness of the Buda family.”
Merlyn glared at Grimm and said, “If you dare to do that to Young Master again, I won’t cook for you. I don’t know how long we can last in this place. With those people in the capital, do you think Young Master will have a chance to return to the empire? Stop dreaming.”
Grimm smiled bitterly and stopped talking. He knew that Merlyn was telling the truth. The reason why they were assigned to this godforsaken place was because of the emperor and the leaders of the noble families. If not for the fact that the Buda family’s previous battle records were too glorious, they would have directly exterminated the Buda family.
Although the Buda family still existed, it was impossible to enter the empire’s noble circle in the future. People would even deliberately forget that such a family existed.
What disheartened Grimm the most was that the emperor was afraid that the Buda family would rise again. He actually made their Young Master, the last heir and hope of the Buda family, Adam Buda, drink the Void Water.
This Void Water was a supreme magic treasure. The value of every drop could not be measured by gold coins, and this Void Water had only one use – to reduce one’s strength to nothingness.
Just a drop of the Void Water could instantly turn a mage with the power of a Mage God, a warrior with the strength of a Martial God, or a God-level knight into an ordinary person. From then on, they would not be able to use any magic or battle aura, and there was no cure for it.
Although this potion prevented people from using battle aura and magic, it did not affect the body. It would only turn you into an ordinary person.
If this person was an ordinary person, this potion would be no different from ordinary water. But if this person was a noble or a powerful expert, it would instantly turn them into trash in both martial arts and magic, and drop you from the high clouds into a bottomless abyss.
Adam was forced to drink this potion under the imperial edict. He would never be able to learn any magic or battle aura in his life. He could only be an ordinary person.
If this happened to other noble families, it would not be a big deal. At most, they would just live a carefree life as an ordinary person and wait for death. They would not have to think about getting power and status.
However, when the same thing happened to Adam, it was a completely different matter. He was the last heir of the Buda family. He needed the strength to raise the power of the Buda family and let the Buda family once again walk into the stage of the Aksu Empire. However, he was forced to drink the Void Water. He could no longer learn any magic and battle aura. It was impossible for him to have the strength to raise the Buda family. The last hope of the Buda family was extinct.
If it was just the lack of strength, Grimm would not be worried. After all, he was a level-eight warrior. His wife, Merlyn, was a level-eight water mage. His granddaughter, Meg, was a level-six wind mage. With them, the Buda family’s strength was enough. If they were in their original fief, it would not be difficult for the Buda family to prosper. After all, the Buda family’s fief was in the south of the empire. Their territories were a main city and four medium-sized cities. They had a large population and fertile land. As long as they developed quietly for a few years, the Buda family would prosper.
However, they did not expect the emperor to change their family’s land from the south to the Black Soil Wilderness in the north.
The Black Soil Wilderness was a famous land of death on the continent. Although it was very large, one-third the size of the entire Aksu Empire, no plants could grow here. Even those plants that could survive in the desert would die here.
Legend had it that this place was originally a fertile land. Later on, a battle occurred here. A few Mage Gods joined forces and used a large-scale forbidden spell, turning this land into a land of death.
If it was just a land of death, Grimm would similarly not be worried. As long as the transportation was convenient, they could do some business. At the very least, they could support themselves. However, the Black Soil Wilderness was surrounded by an abandoned dwarf iron mountain. After crossing the mountain, they would reach one of the five forbidden areas of the continent, the Carrion Swamp. This Carrion Swamp also came under the territory of the Buda family. In terms of size, the Buda family’s fief was the largest in the entire Aksu Empire.
The only passage here was next to the territory of the Versailles family. Although the Versailles family had a marriage treaty with the Buda family, how could the Buda family talk about marriage with the most powerful family in the empire in their current state?
Fortunately, this place used to be under the rule of the empire, so there was a small castle on the abandoned dwarf iron mountain. In addition, this mountain was not affected by the forbidden spell, so there was still some land on the mountain that could be cultivated. They would not starve to death.
After knowing that their fief was changed to this place, Grimm had immediately exchanged all the money of the Buda family for slaves, living supplies, seeds, and some tools. Then, he led Adam, who had been unconscious after drinking the Void Water, to this place and lived in the abandoned but still usable small castle.
Along with Grimm were his wife, Merlyn, and his granddaughter, Meg. There was a pair of twins, Wood and Rock, who had been adopted by Adam’s father. There were also a hundred slaves.
Adam was unconscious throughout the journey from the empire to the Black Soil Wilderness. Fortunately, Merlyn was a mage and could use magic to treat Adam from time to time. This allowed Adam to reach this place safely. Moreover, she had checked Adam’s condition yesterday and thought that he could wake up today. That was why Grimm had woken Adam up by the bed. However, none of them could imagine that the Adam lying in the bed was no longer Adam. It was just an Earth otaku wearing Adam’s skin, Zhao Hai.
