Chapter 6: Family Dinner The smell of roasted chicken made Claude's stomach growl. Mom had been cooking since mid-afternoon with the special dinner she made when Dad landed a big commission from Lord Satria's estate, the kind that meant extra coin this week and breathing room in the household budget. Claude used to love these meals without thinking about what they cost. Now he noticed everything and couldn't stop noticing. Thomas came home as the sun touched the horizon, soot-stained from forge work with…-

Chapter 5: Ghastly Threads Claude woke to screaming, but not his own, not yet. The voices came first, always the voices now, crashing through his skull like water through a broken dam. Combat doctrine. Social patterns. Political calculations. Knowledge he shouldn't have, couldn't have, streaming through a six-year-old's mind in languages he didn't speak but somehow understood. His small hands gripped the wool blanket. Morning light filtered through the shutters, painting familiar shapes across his room. He…-

Chapter 4: The Minister's Calculation The walk home felt longer than usual, even with Thomas's steady hand on Claude's shoulder. Every step sent small echoes through his skull, and morning light seemed too bright. Familiar houses looked wrong. Their angles were sharp, their shadows falling in patterns that made his stomach twist. "Almost there," Thomas murmured as they turned onto Forge Street. "Your mother's got soup ready."

Claude tried to sit up, but the world tilted sideways like his father's cart with a broken wheel. "Steady." Sara's weathered hands guided him back to the straw pallet. "Mana shock hits hard.

Chapter 2: The Network Builder's Path Reality fractured like glass. Claude's vision split, no longer lying in the forest clearing but standing in it, watching. He saw his own small body sprawled on the ground, Rudi and Silvi panicking above him. But something was wrong with the memory. The angle was off. The thoughts felt different. The water sphere struck again, but this time Claude experienced it from inside his body, feeling the cold splash and then everything changed. Change. Not Claude. Alex. No,…-

Chapter 1: The Nexus Awakens "Long ago, when your grandparents' grandparents were young," Schoolmaster Trent read from the weathered book, his voice rising and falling like waves against shore, "a terrible Demon King ruled from a black tower at the center of the world." Claude shifted on the hard wooden floor, trying to find a spot where his legs wouldn't fall asleep. The afternoon sunlight coming through the schoolhouse windows made the dust motes dance like tiny fireflies, and somewhere behind him, he…-
