Adamus_Auguste

"In order to survive the future great war, we must take drastic measures. We need to summon warriors and train them before time runs out." 

Thus, millions of earthlings were reincarnated in an alien, medieval world governed by swords and magic to save its prophesied doom.

Among those individuals, one's situation inexplicably deviated from the others. 
Thrust into a rotting house in a ghostly body, Adam found himself bound to a wailing baby. With a heavily damaged soul and the snarky remarks of a system, he began his years-long quest to recover his body. 

Armed with his mind, he'll educate the baby and slowly watch him turn into a good youth. However, he would have to make a choice: suffer as a ghost until he finds an alternative that might not exist, or possess his body and reincarnate.

He was far from imagining how dangerous this world full of possibilities could be, prompting him to question everything he knew... Including himself and this world's intentionally blurred history.

I Refused To Be Reincarnated

As his eyes progressively widened, Shepard noticed the old book with a frown and said through gritted teeth, "I still have this nonsense-filled book? Don't mind it. I spent a fortune, curious about its ancient language. Yet, the spells are flawed and don't manifest."

The seller advertised it as an ancient repertoire of spells drawing their powers from nature, assuring him of their potency. Yet, reality proved otherwise. Even now, he dreamed of confronting the author, Lin Yao, to vent his frustrations.

However, Adam's eyes glowed with excitement as he understood the profound meaning imbued in the old letters.

'The spells didn't manifest? Of course, they wouldn't!' His thoughts echoed thunderously in his mind, and his body trembled. 'The booklet doesn't record any spells. They are battle techniques!'

Then, he gazed at Julius, his lips stretching into a broad grin, causing the boy to shiver.
