1) Ember Ljos Alf

...

Ember Pov

I looked at the book on the table, touching its cover, I flipped it and started reading it. The book was written in the Language of Elves, named Elvish, and often called as Alfian as well, named after the Royal Elven family of Alf itself. Although all Elves knew it, they didn't used it to communicate with other races and limit it within the Elves, pure-blood Elves themselves.

Reason? They consider other races not to be worthy to be talked in their mother tongue, of course some just simply use Koine, the basic language that almost every creature in the world learns, as it acts as a way to break down the language barrier between all the races with no motive of discrimination. I sighed, and putting aside my thoughts I focused on the book, time started passing and finally I had finished reading the book.

" Your Highness! Here you are!!", suddenly I heard a familiar voice, and turned back to find Remia, the maid assigned to me. She bowed seeing me, with respect in her eyes, common to every Elf, even the Nobility among the Elves for the Royal lineage." Remia is it time for dinner already?", I spoke, my voice was literally very childish due to my young age.

" Indeed, your highness, and although as a mere maid, I shouldn't speak this, but Your Highness I know you might be a genius, but please refrain yourself from overexerting yourself. Of course, it is just a request from a mere maid", she said, her voice laced with respect and concern for me. I didn't mind it, I knew she was right, after all a mere 3-year-old kid reading for hours sitting alone was not something normal.

" I would keep it in my mind Remia, thanks for your concern", I said with a nod, a smile formed on her lips, as she seemed happy and satisfied with my answer. She bowed and asked," Now if you would give me the permission, your Highness", I gave a nod indicating that I gave her my permission, and she then came forward and gently pulled me into her arms.

Finally, she escorted to me the Dining room, where my father, mother and sister were already waiting. Remia gently put me down on my chair, and bowed towards my family, they nodded, and she went back. I looked at the lavishing dishes put up in front of me with slight saliva dripping from my mouth.

I won't lie, half of the reason I was so fired up to read books in the library, was because I knew my Dinner would be sumptuous, after all if I don't get a treat after working so hard, I doubt I will be that fired up about reading books. In the end, quickly taking hold of fork, I was about to attack my food, when I was pulled in a hug.

" Ember!! I heard you were reading in the library, that's so cute!!", said my sister, Riveria Ljos Alf as she took me into her lap. I gritted my teeth and looking at her with slight anger I spoke," Sister! Leave me! I am hungry!", though my act only earned a gleeful chuckle from her, as she quickly started rubbing her cheeks against mine.

" Damn!! How can anyone be so cute!!", she said as she rubbed her cheeks against mine," Riveria", suddenly our father spoke, his face stoic and cold," It doesn't suit Royality to act like this while dining, put Ember back into his seat", he said, his voice containing a hint of authority. Riveria pouted, and our mother giggled," Leave it Larfal, she is just a child, and just having fun with her little brother."

He stared at Riveria for a few more seconds, and in the end sighed," Fine", he spoke and continued with his food. My mother eyed us, and she gave my sister a sly grin, and my sister nodding started playing with me, literally like as if I am doll. Soon, once she satisfied and sniffed enough of my scent she handed me to my mother.

" Ember, come to Mommy", she said with an affectionate smile, but I knew what she was going to play like me a doll. I tried struggling, but grip of my sister was stronger than me who was a mere three years old, and in the end, I was buried in my mother's embrace, if it was the past me, I would have certainly enjoyed it being in the embrace of such a beautiful woman, but being a three-year-old does more wonder than you might think!

Finally, after having enough of their sibling and mother-son bonding time, I was returned to my seat,' Damn it!! I will sue you pedos for sexual harassment!! ', I thought with anger, though my hand focused on the food on the table, and I did a quick job on finishing it, finally once I was finished, I was again escorted by Remia to my room.

" Your Highness is sure loved by your mother and sister", she said giggling I retorted," I still don't like that they treat me like a doll though!", hearing my complaint she said," Ah! If I wasn't a mere maid, maybe I would have dared to have a bonding session with your Highness as well", I looked at her deadpan, disgust on my face.

She froze realizing the words she spoke by mistake, finally she started fumbling a bit, and then became silent, in the end, she quickly escorted to my room quietly, and once putting me down she got on her knees and said," Please forgive me your Highness!!", she begged, I smirked and said," Should I? What you said really changed my view on you Remia."

Her face became pale,' Man, I am having so much fun ', I thought with a smile, and pointing at her I said," Pervert Elf!", her face even became more pale, as she looked at me disbelief, I nodded in satisfaction having achieved the result I wanted, when suddenly her eyes turning dead serious," Your Highness which wretch had the audacity to teach you about Pervert word", she asked.

I froze realizing my slip, though I didn't fumble and quickly said," I remember Remia calling your husband that when he came here", she clenched her hands and said," I see so it's his mistake." Yes, she completely shifted the blame on her husband, well not I do feel bad for him, but well I guess he have to deal with an angry wife.

Thus, sending a silent apology to her poor husband, I sent Remia off my room, finally I got on my bed, and then I looked through the window. " It has been three years", I sighed, to be honest it came a total surprise when I reincarnated as an Elf, a High Elf at that, and if it wasn't enough I was born as Royal Elf. To be honest I am quite satisfied about my situation.

Firstly, I am born in Danmachi, well I had trouble believing it first due despite the similarities like the name of Royal Family, and me having a sixteen-year older sister Riveria till I got to know about Gods and Falna, well I blame Riveria for that, after all she had none of the serious attitude shown in the anime, instead she was like an energetic and curious child.

She was also very doting on me, if it was me from my teens, I would have grinned and said,' An Elf Waifu! ', or ,' Incest is Wincest ', but well reality is different, when your pass the stage where your hormones stop hay wiring your thought process changes, and this child body left the matters of lust into trash Bin, thus I had no such dreams, at least for now. Hmm, anyway, as I said I am quite satisfied with my situation.

Dying in my thirties while being single fared better than I expected, my parents were dead already unfortunately by my thirties, so I was over their death already. I wasn't too close to my other relatives either, I did have friends, but it wasn't that hard moving on though I did cry out loud on my first day of reincarnation.

Well, how did I reincarnate anyway? I have no idea, I didn't meet a God who killed me by mistake, a Rob who wanted to grant me with Op wishes, neither a Goddess who found my soul in the void, or something and decided to give me a second chance. If I even met one, then I don't remember. Maybe it's Rudy like situation, and to be honest it isn't that bad either.

A lack of cheat though was disappointing but wasn't as one might think. Firstly, maybe system or whatever cheat I had might not show up unless I am physically an adult, or till I am brink of death, or simply till I get falna, aka God's grace. I wasn't that keen on putting my bets on that though, systems or cheats did come with their fair share of trouble.

Not having one might be disappointing but nothing that I can live through, I had decided to simply live my life and prepare myself for the future. I won't throw away the idea of getting system or cheat awakening at some point, but I won't let my life revolve around it, I will do whatever to get strong in this world whether I get a cheat or not.

I sighed, having a novel reader did give me a lot of imagination in this area. Still, my start had been wonderful, I am the only Son of Larfal Ljos Alf, and Ada Ljos Alf, Ember Ljos Alf, and as a person born in Royalty where Elves take decades to procure a single offspring, my position as the future king was almost set in stone.

Though that time won't come till like a century later, Elves were endowed with longevity, easily capable of living over two hundred years, and High Elves even more so surpassing the life span of five hundred years. Yeah, that meant I had quite the long time to spend to get on my shoes, maybe by the time I am a King, I would have already explored the majority of the world.

But I had a dream a goal, getting strong was one aspect of it, I always held a thirst for an adventure and maybe waifus, the thing is, If Danmachi World can exist what are the chances that other anime worlds, comic worlds, and movie worlds can't exist? Such a prospect was absolutely thrilling for me, I wanted to explore all the possible realities, get strong as heck, and maybe bag up a few waifus on the way.

Yes, it was childish, my dream was childish, maybe even naive. But do I care? I knew that as long as I achieve this, I will be satisfied, I will feel fulfilled, so what other mattered? The chances of me achieving my dream of exploring other realities is slim though If I don't get any cheat, but well I am not the person to be stopped like that.

In simple words," I want to reach the furthest reaches of the Heavens!", I said aloud, and then sighed. A lot of happened in past three years, from me being proclaimed as a genius due to mastering a firm grasp of Elfish at such a young age, though I didn't showcase any other special abilities, and my parents just dropped it on me being a Royalty.

Even other Elves believed in that, Elven Royals were extremely respected by the entire Elf population, it won't be wrong to say, they put Elven Royality even above the Gods, at least most of the Elves do, though the Adventurer Elves tend to take the side of their God, unless they are in the wrong against Elven Royals, showing the extreme respect enjoyed by the Alf family.

Well, although I had a clear roadmap in my mind of my life, my father being a God hater didn't make things half easy. I couldn't blame the man thinking of Gods as assholes though, they are assholes at least most of them are. I mean they could have simply destroyed dungeon to end the suffering of all races, but instead they made into a game to get rid of their boredom.

' Well, Whatever, Ember you must have a firm will on your goals! And well it has been quite the time I had been self-monologuing annndddd it's time to sleep! ', I thought and yawned a bit, feeling a bit sleeping, I closed my eyes, letting my tired brain embrace the sweetness of sleep. There was a lot that I needed to ponder about, but that can wait for later.

To be continued... 

(A/N: Yeah... Where I was for the past half year? Mainly in depression... That sounds pathetic... I tried to push things to my studies... but well things didn't went well. I am addicted to writing stories, I have already written 30 chaps of this fic... and well more of the others, unfortunately mostly are new fics.

I have written new idea fics like Nobi Nobita is the Gamer, Elqueeness in the Multiverse, Omniverse: Heroic Spirit System, Demon God in Marvel, a fic about Re Zero...

I am having a mental breakdown here, I wanted to do something... But when you realize that your parents desire something else of you, even if it is not the thing you want. Things gets harder. So let's leave it at that.

Back on main topic, I was trying to stock up chaps for my patreon release. However I just realized I won't be as free as I have thought.

I won't lie anymore, I am depressed. To me it seems nothing in this world holds any values, just wasting time to entertain my brain by reading fanfics gives me some fun and some meaning.

I am going back on track, however I realized I can't do that without continuing with my hobby, Okay so I have stored up around 40 chaps of this fic? I will upload them.

I will be uploading the first volume, if I get a good review for this... I will continue the story, as of now my fics AOT and Cultivation ones are in indefinite hiatus. I will probably pick them years later, just to fulfill my promise.

If this fic does good then it will continue after volume 1, otherwise a hiatus, I stock up chaps and this story will only continue when I release patreon.

For now, I hope you enjoy this story while I get my pathetic self back. It's time to face challenges head on while coping by writing these stories.

Anyway, I have sample chaps of my ideas in discord, if you want read five chaps of their, join discord and pin # whatever idea you want.
