Chapter 1: One Winter

There is a four kingdom in this continent namely; Clover Kingdom, Heart kingdom, Spade Kingdom and Diamond Kingdom. In the Hage Village of the forsaken realm of the Clover Kingdom, a baby is left by the church front door. In his shirt is written his name Irving. Though he might seem an infant right now, this baby has the mind and memory of an adult inside. It was a confusing event for him because the last thing he remember is that he's arranging some files that is left by his co-workers. He didn't know if he died but he doesn't really mind if he did. All he want to ask for is for a god to give him information about the world he will be reincarnating into. He is also starting to get hungry and it was so cold of outside because it is winter right now.Maybe because his body was of an infant but he's emotion is uncontrollable that started him to cry.

"Waaaah, waaaah, waaaah"

The cry of the baby resounded outside enough for the house near the church hear it. Everyone who heard it already know the meaning of this; there's a new pitiful child left by their parents. Father Orsi, who just finished putting the kids to sleep quickly walk through the door and check the child whose cry getting louder and louder each time pass.

"To leave the child out in the cold winter, how sad." The priest said as he take the baby in his hand and stop the crying. "There, there. You're safe now."

Irving stopped crying feeling the warmth of the person holding him. He feel so comfortable with that human's hand to the point he started to doze of to sleep. Starting that day, Irving live in the church of the Hage Village.

____________________

Time has passed and now Irving is a 5 year old. He now knows that he's in the world like the manga he reads in his free time. The humans here can use magic through the help of their grimoire. He spend his time helping on some minor house chores and playing with other children his age in the village. It was embarrassing at first but he got used to it and sometimes even forgot he's an old man inside.

One day, when Father Orsi took him in a trip to learn about currency he saw a magic knight wearing a robe. He immediately realize that he is really in that manga he read during his past life. He knows the future but unfortunately, he's not in the same timeline the manga shows. Father Orsi looks much younger, there is no child named Asta or Yuno within the children. The sister helping Father Orsi is not sister Lily, and the biggest sign that this is the past of the manga he read is because there is no Golden Dawn and Black Bulls squad. According to what he heard, the Grey Deer is the number one squad and the captain is also not Rill.

"Irving, where are you looking? I was explaining something here." Father Orsi asked noticing how the child is not listening. He looks at the direction the child is looking at and immediately get what the child is curious about.

"Sorry Father, please continue." Irving said feeling relief that he will have a lot of preparation for the incidents that happened in the manga.

At the age of 7 he found out that his magic attribute got something to do with trees and plants. He can accelerate the growth of plants and trees. It's not a rare attribute because almost those who are working in a field has these power. The only difference is that Irving has a huge amount of magic power so he can do it within a lot of time. However, Father Orsi doesn't want him to overuse his mana because it seems like too much training will cause some problem in future growth so he only has limited time on accelerating the growth of the crops in the village. Due to this, the village become fond of him.

"Father, can you teach me how to fly in a broom?" Irving who is now 9 years old asked father Orsi. He had always wanted to learn how to fly in a broom but he never got the chance to ask Father Orsi to teach him because he knows how busy the priest is. Right now, the children are taking their afternoon nap and Father Orsi is not doing anything either so he asked for it.

"Okay, but you have to be careful okay? Don't fly too high in first try because you might not be able to control your mana and fall." Father Orsi warned. From then on, Irving would always train how to ride a broom. Sometimes he do it with the guidance of the priest, but most of the time he do it himself. He don't complain though because he know how busy and hard it is to take care of children.

They suffer every winter. Though they have a lot of firewoods to warm them during the night, they are lacking in food since some nobles would buy the all the crops of the village for themselves. It's not just them in the church who suffer because of hunger when winter but also be the whole village.

"I hate Winter." The 10 year old Irving muttered to himself as he force his body to fit in the small blanket he and the other children are sharing.

'I will become a magic knight and earn enough so that everyone here in the church wouldn't have to worry about winter.' Irving said to himself, determined that he will do anything to achieve that goal.
