Chapter 1: Runcandels Superstition (2/2)
“Good Then let’s go immediately”
Jin realized that today was his birthday from their conversation
The children of the Runcandel fah a certain ritual called ‘Selection’ on their first birthday
It was a ritual where the adults laid around dozens of items on the floor, and rab the item
There was a superstition that when the child ‘selected’ an item, the item would be a representation of the child’s future and destiny Strangely enough, the Runcandels were obsessed with this superstition
Rosa picked up Jin and moved to the castle’s central hall
At the hall’s center stood a est knight of the present era, Cyron Runcandel
‘Father’
It was Jin’s first ti reached the demiGod realm, Cyron was very rarely present at the castle
He was always away fighting wars or training in sos…’
His 12 siblings were also present
While they had treated Jin like a weakling and a useless insect in his past life, they hadn’t co for Jin ide s he had gone through because of thean to feel stuffy
“Rosa, put Jin down”
His mother followed his father’s instructions As his liht shi+ver shook his body
Two meters away from him lay the items for the Selection ritual
He could see a book, two coins, a single grain of rice, along with over twenty different types of swords i the hall floor
Jin just had to choose one ite all these
‘This is crazy I couldn’t re back then, but now that I see it in person, it’s insane Do they actually plan on rab one by the blade?’
In his past life, Jin had selected a sword Since the book, coins and grain of rice were hidden ast the countless swords, it was no surprise that all the Runcandel children had selected the weapons
“Now, choose one of them, son”
The reat anticipation
They were all curious to see which sword the youngest child would select Whether it would be tords, a greatsword, a longsword, or a coazes focused on Jin, he began to craards the sword he had selected previously
The people around the world probably had no idea that the renowned Runcandels h such a ridiculous ritual every tih
Jin was frustrated that he couldn’t advance faster Crawling was taking so long and so y
‘The sword I subconsciously chose in the past was quite an inconvenience, but this time, I’ll intentionally select that same sword’
Badu with power
The weapons were planted in a circle The item Jin wanted was in the middle
As he rolled and crawled around, Jin passed by the sword closest to him The eyes of all the observers in the hall ide
Even if the child were from the renowned clan of swordmasters, babies would almost always select the ite through the forest of swords, and the others couldn’t help but gulp with each of his
‘Could he be… going for that sword?’
Jin continued swerving through the blades as the eyebrows on Cyron and Rosa’s frozen faces began twitching in response to each sword he grazed
“Gah gah!”
Jin had finally selected his sword Blood began dripping down the fingers touching the blade
Everyone’s gazes slowly moved fros’ jaws instantly dropped
They all believed that Jin had coincidentally selected that sword, but the truth couldn’t be more different He had crawled like aall his energy, as controlling a 1-year-old’s body wasn’t si all the way here intentionally was so exhausting, so how on earth did I accidentally select this sword inBarisada
It was the sword’s naenerations, this sword could only be wielded by the Runcandel patriarchs To be nized and acknowledged by all the members of the Runcandel Clan
The nu the ritual in Runcandel history could be counted on one hand
And every single child that had selected Barisada grew up to becole child except for Jin Runcandel from his first life
“Jin chose the Founder’s sword”
Cyron spoke in a sole in joy, and a few others were trying their best to hide their displeasure
This hat the Runcandel superstition was about
“The ritual is over And bring Jin to the Storm Castle”
