《The Rebirth of a Emperor》Royal Education
Advertisement
Year 12.328 After the Founders.
It’s been six years ever since Diaz came to this world, and he still struggles to accept it as his new home, but at least he emotionally came to some terms with it.Of course, If he could he would love to go back, but even if he did that certainly would not end up well, for even though he was a popular ruler, when he passed he did so out of old age. His death was natural, and it would go against God's way to come back from such passing, even if truly God himself kinda” unnaturally” reincarnated him. One way or the other, he was fated to stay and live in this place, if so he had to find a way to fully come to terms with his new life, and that he did.
Strangelly, one way he found to soothe his worries about this new reality was to engage in old habits: Study.
In his time as a kid he was mostly alone and with little interaction with children his age, mostly being prepared to take the throne as emperor as quickly as possible since his father was no longer around. As such, his studies as a royal actually fit well to young Diaz in many ways.
Diaz's education, although more general and less strict than his older brothers, (for not much was expected of him), was still worthy of a royal.
He is being taught how to read and write the continental language, which was the language mostly used by all the continent, the local language of the Vasconcy region, which is the region his kingdom finds itself in together with 4 other rival kingdoms, local geography, etiquette, basic mathematics and common knowledge, music, socializing and dancing.
Of course, being in a nation with constant warfare he is also being taught the basics in how to fight, like fencing, use of bow, spear, mace, shield, horse riding, mount taming, wrestling and military affairs. Though it was done so in moderation considering his age.

Surprisingly to many, Diaz had little problems with his studies, spending many hours with books and feather pens, long after his tutors left.
Also his handwriting improved at a pace that made his tutors shocked, with the young boy even going out of his way to write many pages of linen paper, copying contents of different works in order to, according to the boy, “study while practising”. This made the boy very familiar with the scholars and priests working in the library and temple ward of the citadel. One day he even made an entire copy of a short children's story book that his nanny read to him during many nights and gifted to her as a present, making her very happy.
On one hand his general studies were proceeding at remarkable pace, on the other his military ones were, “not as astonishing” according to his main tutor Sir Alexios, an imposing tall and muscular man with slightly curled dark hair and a well trimmed beard. He was an Ex-Domestikos(cavalry commander of about 1000 men) of the Heraclian empire who unfortunately supported the wrong side in a civil war.
“Not as astonishing” was an understatement though, for young Diaz still was doing very well for himself, specially in horse riding, even if for now all he was riding were small poneys due his size and strength of a infant, the ex-Cavalry commander could already see that the boy had no problem with equestrian skills and quickly understood some of the fundamentals of the usage of every weapon. Though it was a fact that the boy was not as enthusiastic in his martial training as his civil ones.
However, there was one thing that Diaz was clueless about: magic training.
This “magic” thing eluded him quite a lot, where he thought at first to be some form of old “alchemy” or a chemical reaction that the people of this world did not understand and simply labeled magic. However when it was shown to him he found it to be unbelievable, it seemed much like a fairytale when Sir Alexious showed it to him.

During Diaz's first lesson in magic, Sir Alexious demonstrated it by standing in front of a dummy with an old but still durable looking chainmail shirt and helmet, unsheathed his sword and took an overhead stance. In a millisecond he descended his sword and cut the dummy clean in two, helmet and chainmail alike. However “cut” isn't exactly the right word, more like he “melted” it in half, for little Diaz could see the sword slightly glow in red and released a strong heat, something which was later confirmed by his tutor.
Alexios explained that he condensed an energy they called Mana into his blade in order to heat it to a point where it was so hot it could melt steel and bypass the chainmail and helmet, something which would be close to impossible otherwise. He also warned to the prince that although at first glance it seemed simple, in truth it was not, for the heat was so strong it could burn the user so he had to also use mana to coat his own body in a cold aura to protect him from the heat even more so in his hand, also his sword was special made from a have league of metal that could withstand the heat and still be durable, blade and handle alike was made out of this metal, making it a much heavier sword than normal.
Later Diaz would learn from his Nanny that what he saw was a feat only possible to a few who managed to put magic into practise use in the middle of a melee, which was how Sir Alexios was accepted by the prince grandfather into his court despite this later on becoming a diplomatic issue since Alexios was a political fugitive.
Young Diaz, when a child back in his world, was introduced to knowledge and the pleasure of learning from his first tutor, a friend and rival of his father. As such he was a natural scholar, and a new area of study to him was a new path, a new universe to explore, so he became fascinated with this new form of energy called mana.
As such, after that demonstration, Diaz felt himself in a funny mood. The usually quiet child became extremely curious and asked many questions without reservation, mostly on how this phenomena happened. So many were the questions and so “weird” were the terms used that Sir Alexios felt overwhelmed by this change in the boy. He did answer him as best he could though.
Unfortunately for Diaz, Sir Alexios, despite being a great soldier and warrior, was never very interested in how it happened and knew little of use besides combat, he just knew how to do it so he could not explain it in more scientific terms nor could he tell .
The prince felt a bit disappointed but still looked forward to learning more about this “Mana”, and perhaps he would get the chance since he was a royal of this nation, a funny thought since in the past he never enjoyed this fact.
Still, since magic was dangerous and taxing to the body ,he wasn't allowed actual practice due his age, which was fine to him since he had no interest in “practice” for now, where “practice” meant batlle applications.
Diaz's individual education went fine for the most part, some talked about him being more interested in books rather than sword or horses but at least he had an interest most could admire and wasnt that uncommon, however he was still perceived as odd, and that was mostly due to his behaviour when socializing.

8 86Dimensions intersection
The 100 years war.Countless gods, devils, heavenly demons, dragons, beast emperors and many more supreme beings fought for supremacy.Due to the war space cracks plagued the dimensions causing them to intersect almost making them destroy each other.After countless efforts the dimensions finally stabilized making a whole new unique dimension.Note: some of you may not like the reincarnation tag so this is to explain some details coming in the plot (NO SPOILERS).the mc will come from earth but unlike lots of novels it will play a major role in his power and character development, i am always open for criticismIt will all be cleared up in the future with lots of fun. IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!: this was supposed to be surprise but as i went more deeply through the rules (in wuxiaworld) i found it will really be hard to be added to the front page, i like when i start something that i must finish it in the most efficient and best way possible with no regrets, so i added this, don't worry it won't be a spoiler, i am just giving a hint, as you already know from the title this novel features dimensions, and since this novel is made on wuxiaworld it must have something related to it, so figure it out a novel about dimensions and wuxiaworld which is full of fantasy novels. I hope you can support me in wuxiaworld so i could reach the main page, if you genuinely like the novel just look it up in original novels in wuxiaworld fourms and click it just for a view, thank you for the support. Thank you for reading.
