[Reincarnated World – Present Timeline]
The world shifted.
The boy stopped moving — not because something attacked, but because something had found him.
Magic surged under his feet.
Not from this world. Not from anything nearby.
From somewhere far away. A pull across dimensions. A summoning.
The air around him shimmered. A sigil began to glow — complex, ancient, forceful.
His body started to rise, slowly, his soul caught in the current of a spell he knew far too well.
"They're trying to bring me back."
"Verdantia."
"My past."
He felt the call in his bones. In his blood.It was familiar. Sharp. Cold.
🌀 But He Didn't Move
He didn't fight the spell.
He didn't scream.
He just… refused.
"I'm not going back."
"Not now."
"Not ever… this my real world now "
🩷 The Light That Broke the Spell
"Come inside!" his mother's voice called from the house, full of joy.
The spell faltered.
He turned.
She was smiling — practically glowing.
Behind her, his father stood tall, trying not to grin too wide. Aira leaned against the doorway, sword slung over her shoulder, head tilted.
His mother stepped forward and held his hand.
"We were going to tell you tonight," she said gently, "but I can't wait."
"You're going to be a big brother again."
"It's a girl."
🌸 The Reaction
The boy froze — not from fear, not from confusion.
From overwhelming warmth.
His chest filled with something almost unbearable.
Aira stepped forward too — her face lit up.
"A… a sister?"
She tried to act calm.
But the boy saw it.
For a split second — a real smile. One he hadn't seen in a long time.
She always wanted one.Someone to protect. Someone to care for.
Then the smile faded.
Quietly. Softly.
The shadow of old pain returned.
But just for a moment.
🔥 The Decision
The sigil beneath the boy shattered.
The call from Verdantia died.
The summoning spell failed.
In the other world, hundreds of mages collapsed in confusion and silence.
In this one, the boy took a deep breath… and smiled.
"They don't need me."
"But here…"
He looked at his mother. His father. Aira.
And now… the future.
"There's someone else who will."
He clenched his fist.
Eyes fierce. Heart full.
"I have one more person to protect."
"I need to get stronger."
"Stronger than ever."
