Three Days That Changed Fate
Inside Lucien's portable dimension, time passed quietly.
Lucien stood calmly, sleeves rolled up, eyes glowing with focus.
System purchases completed:
Medical Knowledge — Master Level Ope-Ope no Mi Knowledge — Master Level Curse Knowledge — Advanced
For Lucien now…
Nagini's curse wasn't difficult.
"She's not bound by darkness," Lucien muttered.
"She's bound by fear, blood, and time."
Using Ope-Ope no Mi, Lucien created a perfect ROOM, isolating the curse like a disease.
Precise. Clean. Gentle.
Three days later—
The curse shattered.
Nagini, Free at Last
Light flooded the space.
Nagini collapsed—
Human again.
Free.
Naked.
Lucien instantly turned away, blushing slightly, and tossed a cloak over.
"Uh—clothes first. Hug later."
Nagini laughed through tears as she dressed.
Then she hugged him anyway.
Tightly.
"I'm free because of you," she whispered.
"Thank you… Master."
Lucien patted her back awkwardly.
"You don't need to call me that. Just… stay alive."
When asked about her future, Nagini hesitated.
"I… don't know where to go."
Lucien smiled softly.
"Then stay here. Help me. Be family."
Nagini broke down completely.
Happy tears.
A New Introduction
Back at the Lionhardt Mansion, Lucien introduced Nagini.
Reactions varied.
Grayfia nodded calmly.
Gamma adjusted her glasses.
Akeno smiled curiously.
Velgrynd crossed her arms, impressed.
Yasaka welcomed her warmly.
Venelana and Claire hugged her immediately.
Angelina blinked.
"…So this is a normal Tuesday here, right?"
Lucien nodded seriously.
"Very."
A Date in Diagon Alley
Later that day—
Angelina tugged Lucien's sleeve nervously.
"Uh… I need to buy my school supplies."
Lucien nodded.
"…You want company?"
Angelina hesitated.
"…Would you come with me?"
Lucien tilted his head, smirking.
"Is this a date?"
Angelina turned bright red.
"…Yes."
Lucien grinned.
"Then I accept."
Hand in Hand Through Diagon Alley
Lucien suppressed his fox traits, appearing fully human.
The moment they stepped into Diagon Alley, the crowd surged.
Lucien gently took Angelina's hand.
"Stay close. Don't get lost."
Angelina nodded—
Then intertwined their fingers.
Her ears turned red.
Lucien noticed.
He said nothing.
Shopping passed quickly—robes, books, supplies—
Too quickly.
"So…" Lucien said casually,
"Want to see something interesting?"
Angelina smiled.
"Gringotts?"
Lucien nodded.
Bloodline Truth Revealed
At Gringotts, Lucien requested a bloodline test.
The goblin nodded, leading him into a secure chamber.
A blade pricked his finger.
One drop of blood fell into the device.
Two minutes passed.
Then—
The device erupted in golden light.
The screen revealed:
Name: Lucien Aurelius Peverell Potter
Titles:
Most Noble and Most Revered House of PeverellNoble House of Potter
Silence.
Angelina froze.
The goblin froze.
Lucien exhaled slowly.
"So it's confirmed."
The goblin bolted out of the room.
Moments later, an elderly goblin entered.
Director of Gringotts — Ragnok Ironquill
He bowed deeply.
"Lord Peverell," he said respectfully.
"Welcome back."
Inheritance of Death's Heir
The procedures were swift.
Lucien was granted:
10 Ancient Peverell Vaults Countless gold galleons Mansions and estates Magical shops and shares Ancient allies Two Wizengamot seats And finally…
The Ring of the Peverell Heir
Lucien slipped it on silently.
Angelina stared at him.
"…You're insane powerful, aren't you?"
Lucien smiled sheepishly.
"…I just wanted school supplies."
As they left Gringotts, fate shifted.
The heir of death had returned.
Quietly.
Unnoticed.
But not for long.
