Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – Seventh Birthday (3)

19 years old.

16 years old.

It’s an age that can’t be considered too old. However, the older sister Arabel and the younger sister Claire are probably the most famous 19 and 16-year-olds in this empire, or maybe even the entire continent.

She opened a teleportation gate at the age of 19.

It’s said she accumulated magical power for nearly a year to travel long distances, but teleportation magic, in the first place, requires Chain 5 or higher to be used.

A supposed magical genius.

The most notable talent of the Imperial Academy Altheon.

She was my older sister, Arabel.

Similarly, my younger sister already knows how to handle a wyvern at the age of 16.

Wyvern is a challenging summon that a mid-level summoner can barely summon with all their might. I have repeatedly seen summoners on the battlefield collapsing from exhaustion as soon as they are summoned.

However, my younger sister not only had enough power to summon it but also maintained the summon and flew from the distant academy on a wyvern.

Moreover…

Along with her older sister, she was a genius who would receive the utmost attention at the Academy.

“Lady Arabel already opened the teleportation gate, and Lady Claire is flying on a wyvern…”

“Eh, how many gods have blessed the Sogres family in this generation?”

Anyone who sees it is filled with envious looks. Here was also my story.

“Young Master Dain, do you remember your first birthday? At that time, all the artifacts placed by each family member responded!”

“Perhaps Young Master Dain is the greatest talent.”

The magic core activated, and every word people whispered was heard in my ears. I tried to control it, but it wasn’t easy for a child’s body.

However, it wasn’t a story I didn’t want to hear. I could also hear my father muttering.

“I raised my children, and on their brother’s birthday, they sent him a letter. On their younger brother’s birthday, they even brought a wyvern and another with teleportation magic.”

Of course, despite saying that, he was smiling cheerfully, as if he were very happy that his older sister and younger sister had appeared in the territory.

“Big sister, little sister.”

I called my sisters. But soon, I took a step back. Both were holding something in their hands and running in my direction. Sparks flew in their eyes, and sparks flew when the mage’s magic and the summoner’s magic really collided. As if I were the first.

“Dain!”

“Dain!”

And without even knowing who was first, they reached me and handed me a gift. The fire was still burning in their eyes. I knew how to calm my sisters.

“Thank you, sisters. For coming all the way here to celebrate my birthday.”

When I accepted both gifts at the same time, smiles appeared on their faces.

“Happy birthday! Dain!”

“Happy birthday, sincerely. Dain.”

“I’m serious too!”

Both were still children by my standards in my previous life, but in this body, they were older sisters who filled me with infinite love.

“Hurry up and open it! How many gifts will I receive today?”

I returned to the podium at the end of the banquet hall with my sisters. It was because too much attention was focused on us. I began to unwrap the gift my older sister gave me. Inside was a ring.

“Subspace pocket! I designed it myself! Of course, subspace magic is the highest chain magic, so our professor injected it himself!”

Thanks to the lectures from my older sister that I’ve been taking since I was a baby, I know very well how difficult it is to give magic to objects, especially subspace magic. However, what’s even more challenging is designing the artifact according to the magic it will be given. Even designing it with someone else in mind…

“Try it on, Dain. For your information, this is an item that has its genetic code applied, so no one else but us, the Sogres, can use it. It’s the only one in the world!”

I tried on the ring. It fits perfectly. It was even beautiful.

The silver ring had a blue gem embedded in it, as if aesthetic aspects were also taken into account. Judging by the subtle waves passing through it, it was clearly a high-quality magic stone.

As soon as I infused magical energy into it, something amazing happened. The air in front of the left hand wearing the ring split, leaving space for a hand to pass through.

“What do you think, Dain? Now the era of pockets is over!”

A subspace pocket is literally a pocket. That’s why it has the pocket with the name. It looks like a normal pocket, but when magical energy is injected, the assigned subspace activates and connects to the pocket entrance.

“Just activate the magic of the ring, and you’ll be instantly transported to subspace! All you have to do is put your hand in and take it out! Now you don’t have to bother taking your pockets out to open the entrance.”

It was worth seeing my older sister looking proud and happy. It was a very innovative item. My sister designed this.

“Sister, thank you very much… But can I really have it?”

“To whom would I give it if not to you? For your information, I worked hard to achieve this! So you have to appreciate it, okay?”

I nodded. It was the perfect gift. It’s a subspace pocket. In my past life, I had seen rich people like some noble commanders and mages use it several times, but I had never used it. I never thought I would receive this.

“Ah! For your information, the ring grows as you grow! It may gradually thin out, but it will be enough until my brother grows up. Actually, I wish Dain would stay a little child…”

She was my older sister and had special affection for me since I was a baby.

“But as Dain still can’t use it, we’ll create a magic core or magic circle later to handle magical power…”

While my sister spoke, I was already infusing magic into the ring.

‘I was going to tell you that you could use it whenever…’

Jiing.

The ring briefly vibrated, and the subspace opened.

“… Our younger brother is a genius too, isn’t he?”

Soon, my sister smiled happily, stating she knew this would happen.

“Eh. I created a magic core.”

“You’re faster than me!”

My older sister was surprised but lowered her voice so no one could hear.

“As expected, our younger brother is amazing! It’s a shame it’s not a magic circle… What do you think? Because our little one is a genius! Maybe we’ll have both a core and a circle at the same time!”

I just smiled.

While expressing my gratitude once again, I heard my little sister’s voice filled with anxiety.

“Dain… And what about mine?”

I almost laughed as I checked my little sister’s expression.

Was my older sister’s gift so wonderful that she thought her own gift would be overshadowed?

“Open mine too.”

“Eh.”

I quickly unwrapped my little sister’s gift.

For a moment, I felt the sharp gaze of my older sister, but I pretended not to notice and looked at the gift.

It was a display case.

Inside, there was an egg.

“It’s not an egg!”

My little sister quickly added, probably surprised by my facial expression as she hadn’t thought of a reaction yet.

Who would think someone would give an egg as a birthday present?

I looked at the egg.

The golden shell was splattered with red spots.

This is the first time I’ve seen an egg.

It’s ridiculous, but if this were an egg, it would be incredibly expensive, wouldn’t it?

At that moment, I realized my little sister was a summoner.

“Sister, is this…?”

“It’s a familiar.”

My eyes widened when I heard the word ‘familiar’ as if it were a whisper.

“I don’t know what kind of familiar it will become, but… It was very difficult to get.”

“Sister.”

“Well, it wasn’t that hard, so you don’t have to worry too much!”

Following my older sister, my little sister also made a huge gift.

The younger sister continued to talk cautiously, wondering if anyone would hear her.

“One day, I tried a magic trick to summon Dekaron… … That came out.”

Familiar.

In short, it’s an invoker’s “mistake.”

That’s a very, very rare mistake.

The summoned beings are connected with a “code” through a complex process only the summoner can understand, but very occasionally, “mistakes” occur in this process.

For example, instead of being the summoning target, another being with a code similar to the summoning target is summoned.

In this case, it can be called ‘Al.’

And this egg is so rare that collectors, nobles, and even the imperial family drool over it.

Because somehow, even after the summoning time ends, it will remain in this world permanently.

In other words, you can permanently order summonings from other dimensions without the need for complex summoning techniques.

In that sense, my little sister just gave me something incredible.

“No one knows yet. Dain, only you know. So we’ll keep it a secret until it’s born, okay?

“Okay.”

I quickly covered the showcase with the wrapping and smiled happily.

“Thank you, sister.”

Only then did my little sister smile happily.

“I don’t know how long it will take to be born. Instead, you have to infuse your magic every morning and every night so that it recognizes you as its owner in advance, okay? Until there’s a response!”

Until there’s a response.

I don’t know how long it will take, but I definitely have to incubate it.

“Yes! I will. But little sister, isn’t this too precious? I’m very grateful, but I think it will be more useful for my sister.”

I was serious.

Although I appreciated the gift, this is a truly precious item.

Especially for my sister, who is a summoner, it would be a difficult-to-see item even once in her life.

But my little sister shook her head stubbornly.

“It’s meaningless unless you understand it.”

And my little sister looked at my older sister with a proud expression as if she had won.

My older sister tried to pretend she didn’t notice, but her hands were trembling.

“Coward…”

Oh, I need to resolve this quickly before my sisters start fighting.

“Thank you very much, both of you.”

I could only feel relieved after seeing the smiling faces of my two beloved sisters again.

By the way, what about that wyvern and the teleportation gate?

“Kyaaaaaak!”

“Oh! Fool! You can’t go in there! It’s a gate that I don’t know where it leads! Someone stop him!”

Then, my younger sister rushed to cancel the wyvern summoning, and my older sister quickly waved her hand to block access to the gate.

“Isn’t it nice that your sisters came?”

Before I knew it, my mother approached and patted my head.

“Yes, Mother. It’s nice.”

“Mom, you’re also very kind. Dad likes it too.”

The whole family gathered.

The banquet was starting now.

“Ladies, I’m glad you came despite saying you couldn’t, but why not also welcome Dad and Mom?”

My father looked quite sad.

My older and younger sisters were astonished and clung to their father.

“Oh, father! How have you been?”

“Father!”

I chuckled as I saw my father’s expression slowly relax at the belated greetings from my sisters.

Amidst this, I suddenly made eye contact with Leyla.

It was a very envious expression.

It seemed like it wasn’t just because I received a gift.

A strange loneliness.
