What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?

"Fiuh~ its finally done."

A very handsome boy was sitting on the ground and sweating profusely.

He had a perfectly sculpted face and jet-black hair that looked like the darkness of the night.

His purple eyes were so beautiful that any woman who stared at them for too long would fall in love.

Yes! He is Arthur Asvold, and it has been five years since he came into this world.

For the past two years, he has been looking forward to this moment and preparing for it.

Five years old is the age when one awakens the cores in the body.

Now, he was just practicing on the grounds of his mansion and strengthening his physical fitness.

Martial arts, sword arts, spear arts, arrow arts, and various other skills were practiced every day and every moment.

With the memories and skills he had practiced with the old servant in his previous world, he applied them in this world to build a strong physique like his own in the previous world.

"I did not expect that the old man's training would be so useful at a time like this." He sighed and bowed his head.

Although he felt that his skills and abilities from the previous world were still in his mind, his physical body was different.

This body was still a child's body and was not suited for training that was too strenuous.

"It must be gradual and adjust the physical capacity first; otherwise, there will be defects and shortcomings in the future." He muttered lightly, then immediately took a deep breath.

"By the way, a few days should be the time to awaken the cores in the body, right?" He immediately remembered something important.

"So, I should be returning to Duke Asvold's main mansion, hmm?" He rubbed his chin and looked up at the blue sky above him.

"It's been five years, but that cheap father of his never once found himself."

"Is it because of my mother's hatred for him that he never came to see me?"

"Hey~ anyway, I'm your son, damn it." He cursed in his heart.

Immediately, he remembered something about the characteristics of his cheap father in the novel.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, my father in this world, David Asvold, was famous for his authority on the surface."

"He is a very powerful figure in the mid-stage elemental saint level with a very strong fire core that is described in novels."

"However, he has always hated Emperor Balka because, since childhood, he has always been compared to him."

"He was also dissatisfied because the Balka Emperor was always above him; even the emperor's status exceeded his Duke status."

"You could say he is a person who is dissatisfied with something and always hates people who are above him." Arthur thought to himself that he hated this kind of person who could not accept his shortcomings.

That said, David's character in the novel is pretty bad.

He is always self-righteous and arguably a hypocrite.

In the novel, he plans to stage a coup against the Empire.

However, unfortunately it didn't work out and he died quite miserably.

Immediately, a sly smile appeared on his face, "I'm sorry if I used you for my plan, my cheap father."

"After all, the person closest to me right now is only mother and you are my mother's enemy."

"Even though you're my father in this world, you've never considered me as a son." He said in a cold tone.

Although he was usually gentle and affectionate, but someone like David Asvold was not a good thing to keep around because he could be called a pest in the future.

Moreover, only Elizabeth really loved him for now and of course he would try to help his mother.

"Oops! Alright, time to meet mom!" He quickly got up and tidied up his dirt-soiled body.

Immediately, he walked towards his mother's room.

However, just as he was about to exit the grounds, he came across an old servant who seemed to be waiting for him.

Immediately, he stopped and looked at the old servant curiously, saying inwardly, "This is the servant who came back then to give mom a letter when I was a baby.

"I also still remember his face until now."

"The loyal servant of Duke Asvold's mansion."

"However, what is his name? Why don't I know it at all?"

Arthur thought about it and immediately approached the old servant.

"Are you looking for me?" He asked in a wary manner.

After all, he didn't know who the other side was or what their intentions were.

There was also no mention of his whereabouts in the novels, and now his sudden appearance out of thin air like this has him quite scared.

At the very least, someone like this had the power of an elemental saint!

"As expected by the Duke's mansion, the strength cannot be underestimated."

"In fact, a powerful elemental saint like this could be a servant." Arthur muttered lightly and looked at the old servant, and his demeanor remained calm on the surface.

Looking at Arthur, a soft smile unconsciously appeared on his wrinkled face, and he looked at him in awe.

"As expected of the heir of Duke Asvold's mansion, he really has an extraordinary temperament." The old servant praised him very sincerely.

"There is no need to be wary, young master."

"I came here because I have something to tell you, and I also wanted to confirm how great the heir to Duke Asvold's mansion is." He said it meaningfully, and his smile never faded from his wrinkled face.

Arthur frowned slightly, but he finally let his guard down.

At least he won't mess with me.

Immediately, he took a breath and looked straight at the old servant.

"So, what do you need?" Arthur went straight to the main point without further ado.

He was now in a hurry and had no more time to talk.

Otherwise, the thought of being tied up by his own mother two years ago made him tremble with fear!

The old servant took no offense or anger at his attitude and smiled.

"My coming is to give you a message from the Master." He said slowly, took out a shiny gold-colored letter from his pocket, and gave it to her.

"Letter? From Father?" Arthur really didn't expect his cheap father, who never showed up to give him a letter in person.

Immediately, he took the letter and looked at it in detail.

It was truly a high-level letter, as it was gold in color.

The color of the letter represented the level of importance of the contents.

White, Blue, Purple, Gold, and Red were the levels of letters in the nobility system, and this applied to all empires and kingdoms on the human continent.

There is also a "Black letter" that is usually used to declare war violently.

However, it has not appeared for a long time due to the peace treaty between the Empires not to fight each other openly.

"Well, my duty is done, and I'd like to take my leave, young master." The old servant bowed his body and suddenly disappeared like a gust of wind.

Arthur was surprised, and he muttered, "As expected of an elemental saint level."

Immediately, he looked at the letter and thought, "Should I tell mom?"

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom He was now a little hesitant to tell his mother.

After all, the hatred was there.

"Well, maybe it's better to save it first and read it, then tell mom afterwards." He shrugged and decided to hide it first.

Soon, he went to his mother's room.
