Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Awakening of the Dark Phoenix

A year passed peacefully in the Valvas estate.

Roy spent his days between towering bookshelves and the sunlit gardens of his family's Italian villa. When he wasn't buried in thick tomes of alchemy, runic theory, or muggle science, he was surrounded by the warm laughter of his family.

Darius would tell him stories of war and valor, his booming voice echoing through the marble halls.Clara baked sweets just to see his smile.Alex often took him on walks through the gardens, teaching him the meaning of legacy and restraint.And Jessica—gentle, elegant would hold him close each night, humming old Frostborne lullabies that glowed faintly with ancient magic.

For one year, Roy Valvas lived the childhood he never had in his past life.But beneath that calm exterior, power was gathering.

The Newbie Package

On his fourth birthday, Roy sat on his bed, eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"System," he whispered, "open newbie package."

A bright golden light flooded the room. The voice of the System echoed in his mind, calm and mechanical.

[Newbie Package Unlocked.][Reward 1: Bloodline — Dark Phoenix][Reward 2: Ope-Ope no Mi (without side effects)][Reward 3: Avalon Scabbard (Absolute Defence, Immortality)]

Roy exhaled slowly.

"Let's begin."

The Blood of the Dark Phoenix

The first item, a vial of swirling crimson-gold liquid, appeared before him. The moment he uncorked it, a heat unlike any flame surged through his veins.

He collapsed to his knees.

Fire and ice clashed inside him — blue frost spreading over his arms, while dark crimson flames erupted from his back, forming faint, spectral wings. His heart pounded as the phoenix's cry echoed through his mind.

[Bloodline Absorption — 10%... 40%... 70%...][Mastery: 50% Achieved.]

His body stabilized, and Roy gasped, steam rising from his skin. His once-silver hair shimmered with faint red-gold highlights. When he opened his eyes, they gleamed like sapphires burning with inner fire.

"So this is… the power of rebirth."

The Sweet Fruit of Life and Death

Next came the strange, heart-shaped fruit. Its surface glowed with spiral patterns.

"The Ope-Ope no Mi… the fruit that grants control over life itself."

Roy bit into it carefully—then blinked in surprise.

"...It's sweet?"

Unlike the legends he remembered, there was no bitterness, no pain—only a rush of awareness, as if the world itself unfolded before him. He could sense every object, every particle of air, in a radius around him.

[Skill Acquired: Ope-Ope no Mi (B Level)][Effect: Absolute spatial control within designated domain. Surgery-type magic compatible.]

He laughed softly.

"This is… absurd. In this world, I'm a walking miracle."

The Scabbard of Immortality

Finally, a faint golden light surrounded him as he absorbed the Avalon Scabbard. His heartbeat stilled—then resumed, calmer, stronger, eternal.

[Item Bound: Avalon Scabbard — Absolute Defence, Immortality.][Effect: Host cannot be killed by physical, magical, or soul-based attacks.]

Roy flexed his fingers.The power felt divine. Even the Killing Curse would now shatter like glass against him.

Random Summoning

Roy's fingers trembled slightly as he held the four glowing summoning tickets. The System's voice echoed:

[Summoning will call random entities from different universes.][Proceed?]

"Yes."

Light burst from the center of his room, expanding outward like a miniature sun. When it faded, four figures stood before him.

A silver-haired beauty in a maid uniform, eyes calm as winter.A blue-haired girl with gentle eyes and a shy smile.A pink-haired twin with sharpness behind her gaze.And a dark-haired woman in black armor, wings gleaming faintly, radiating both devotion and madness.

[Summoned: Grayfia Lucifuge — from DxD][Summoned: Rem — from Re:Zero][Summoned: Ram — from Re:Zero][Summoned: Albedo — from Overlord]

Roy blinked in stunned silence.

"I… actually pulled them?"

He stared at the four women before him, a mix of awe and disbelief washing over his young face.

"Okay… maybe luck is one of my hidden stats."

He smiled faintly, and with the grace of a noble, bowed slightly.

"Welcome to the House of Valvas. I am your master, Roy Valvas. From now on, you're part of my family."

Grayfia stepped forward, bowing elegantly.

"Then allow us to serve, my lord."

Rem and Ram curtsied in unison, their expressions soft.Albedo's golden eyes shone with admiration.

"I shall be your blade and shield, my master."

And so, at just four years old, Roy Valvas — heir to the greatest noble house in the world — gained four of the most powerful and loyal women from across realities.

The age of the Valvas Empire had just begun.
