Born as the Genius Son of House Valerian

A bright light filled the room.

The sound of a newborn child crying echoed through the grand halls of House Valerian.

"The young master has been born!"

The servants immediately rushed through the mansion, carrying the news throughout the estate.

The Valerian family was one of the most respected noble houses in the Kingdom of Aetheria. Their influence came not from conquering lands, but from their inventions, magical research, and dedication to helping their people.

Inside the beautiful room decorated with magical crystals, a woman with silver hair held the newborn child in her arms.

"My little Alex..."

She smiled warmly.

"You are finally here."

Beside her stood a tall man wearing the uniform of a noble lord. His dark blue eyes looked at his son with pride.

"Our family has waited for this day."

This man was Richard Valerian, the head of House Valerian.

He was known as the "Crystal Duke," a noble famous for his powerful magic and brilliant business strategies.

"We will teach him everything we know," Richard said.

The baby looked at his parents.

Although he looked like an ordinary newborn, inside his mind was the soul of Alex, the man who had been given a second chance by the God of Creation.

"So this is my new family..."

He could not speak yet, but his thoughts were clear.

"The God really kept his promise."

Over the next few years, Alex slowly adapted to his new life.

At the age of one, he learned to walk.

At the age of two, he learned basic language.

At the age of three, he surprised everyone by reading advanced books from the family library.

The servants could not believe their eyes.

"The young master can read ancient magic texts?"

"Impossible. Most nobles cannot understand those books until they are much older."

But Alex was different.

His Infinite Learning Ability allowed him to absorb information quickly.

Every day, he studied.

Magic.

History.

Medicine.

Business.

Engineering.

He used his memories from Earth and combined them with the knowledge of Aetheria.

One afternoon, Alex walked through the family garden with his father.

"Father," Alex said.

Richard stopped.

Although Alex was only five years old, he spoke with incredible confidence.

"What is it, Alex?"

"I have an idea to improve the family's businesses."

Richard smiled.

"An idea?"

Alex nodded.

"The way merchants transport goods is inefficient. If we create magical transportation systems and better management methods, trade will become faster and safer."

Richard stared at his son.

He expected a child's dream.

Instead, he heard the words of a genius.

"Where did you learn this?"

"I thought about it."

Richard laughed.

"My son, you are truly unusual."

However, Alex did not only focus on wealth.

He remembered the promise he made.

He wanted to protect people.

One day, while reading reports from the kingdom, he discovered something troubling.

Illegal organizations were secretly spreading dangerous substances and controlling innocent people through fear.

Alex's expression became serious.

"The world has problems even in a world of magic."

He clenched his small fist.

"I will change this."

With his family's resources, Alex began creating plans.

He developed better security systems.

He created magical detection tools.

He helped improve medicine.

He supported organizations that protected civilians.

People began whispering about the young heir of House Valerian.

"The Valerian child is different."

"He thinks like an adult."

"He may become the greatest noble in history."

But Alex knew that talent alone was not enough.

Power without kindness could create another enemy.

So he continued training his magic.

At the age of six, he entered the family's magic training area for the first time.

A giant crystal stood in the center of the room.

Richard smiled.

"Today, we will discover your magical affinity."

Alex placed his hand on the crystal.

For a moment, nothing happened.

Then...

BOOM!

The entire room shook.

Seven different colours of light exploded from the crystal.

Fire.

Water.

Wind.

Earth.

Lightning.

Light.

Darkness.

Everyone froze.

"Seven elements?"

Richard could barely believe it.

But then another symbol appeared.

A mysterious golden mark.

The ancient symbol of Arcane Origin Magic.

The crystal began glowing brighter than ever before.

The servants fell silent.

The magical energy was beyond anything they had seen.

Richard looked at his son.

"Alex..."

"You may become someone who changes the entire world."

Alex looked at the glowing crystal.

He remembered the words of the god.

"Create your own legend."

A small smile appeared on his face.

This was only the beginning.

His new life had started.

And one day, the entire world would know the name:

Alex Valerian, the Arcane King.
