Luc Cane's eyes fluttered open, his senses immediately bombarded by the strange surroundings. He had felt it—his consciousness being pulled from one world and thrust into another. The last thing he remembered was his death, followed by an eerie sense of weightlessness. Now, he was lying on a soft bed in an unfamiliar room, bathed in the gentle glow of a setting sun that filtered through the window.

It was only for a moment that he lay still, trying to grasp his new reality. His fingers instinctively reached for his chest, where a small, glowing implant lay just beneath his skin—the biochip. It hummed softly, as if acknowledging his presence, its faint vibrations a reminder that the chip had followed him into this new world. His mind instantly felt connected to the device, a comfort in the midst of the confusion.

He accessed the chip's interface, its holographic projection swirling before his eyes. A series of data streams flowed through his vision, an array of knowledge instantly being fed into his mind. The chip had always been a part of him, an advanced piece of technology from his past life. He had used it to enhance his memory, process complex algorithms, and store vast amounts of data. Now, in this strange new world, it was far more than just a tool—it was his key to understanding this magical realm.

The world outside the window was vastly different from what he had known. The city below him appeared ancient, yet lively. Tall spires of stone and wood stretched toward the heavens, their surfaces adorned with intricate carvings and symbols. Strange creatures roamed the streets, their forms both alien and captivating. People in robes, armor, and odd garments bustled about, some casting curious glances toward the buildings that lined the streets.

Luc sat up, the sheets falling from his body, revealing the fine garments he had been dressed in. The clothes were unlike anything he had ever worn in his previous life—rich fabrics, embroidered with strange, glowing patterns, indicative of nobility. It seemed that, somehow, he had landed in the house of someone important.

The biochip activated again, its interface sparking to life. A new set of information flooded his mind, a deeper understanding of the world he now found himself in. He learned that this was a world where magic was real, where people wielded elemental forces with their will and skill. There were creatures here that defied logic, and forces that even the most learned mages had yet to comprehend.

Luc absorbed the data. The basics of magic were stored in his mind, thanks to the chip's processing power. He learned that magic in this world came in various forms: elemental control, dark arts, fire manipulation, healing, and even space-time magic. These powers were governed by a strict set of rules, and people's magical abilities were classified according to their skill level.

Then, the chip began processing something new: Night Skills.

Night Skills were a unique form of combat magic. They focused on stealth, agility, and mastery of shadows and the night. The basic level involved blending into the darkness, moving without detection, and using shadows as weapons. As Luc absorbed this new knowledge, he found himself intrigued. In his previous life, he had been a tactician—someone who understood the art of war. Night Skills felt like a familiar territory, one that matched his combat instincts.

With a wave of his hand, Luc accessed the biochip's internal map, which began to reveal his surroundings in the form of a holographic projection. He was currently in the territory of a noble family. The house he was in, according to the chip's data, was a prestigious one, with vast lands and a strong reputation in this region. His memories of his previous life were fuzzy, but he could recall a name that had been whispered in the halls—the Cane family.

That's right. He was Luc Cane, a member of this powerful house, though not by blood. He was an adopted son, a commoner brought into the family by his father's will. It was clear now that his transmigration was no coincidence. Somehow, this world had chosen him to play a role—one that had been laid out for him long before he had arrived.

Luc stood up and walked over to the mirror, examining his reflection. His body had changed in subtle ways. His appearance remained the same, but there was a certain sharpness to his features now, a heightened awareness in his eyes that hadn't been there before. The biochip had enhanced his perception, allowing him to process the world faster, to understand it more intuitively.

As he gazed at his reflection, a soft knock on the door broke his thoughts.

"Master Luc, are you awake?" A familiar voice called from the other side. It was one of the servants, an older woman who had tended to him during his short time in the Cane household.

Luc didn't respond immediately, his mind racing as he tried to piece together more about his situation. He could feel the presence of the biochip, constantly providing him with relevant information. It was both a blessing and a curse. The chip would always be there, guiding him, but he needed to learn to rely on it without letting it dominate his thoughts.

He took a deep breath and made his decision. "Enter," he said, his voice steady.

The door creaked open, and the servant stepped inside, bowing low. "Master, your father, Lord Cane, has requested your presence for breakfast. There will also be some important discussions regarding your future training."

Luc nodded, signaling for the servant to leave. "I'll be there shortly," he said, his mind already focusing on the new world awaiting him.

As the servant left, Luc stood tall and took a moment to reflect on the path ahead. This world, with all its magic and intrigue, was now his to navigate. He didn't know the full extent of the challenges he would face, but with the biochip guiding him, he felt confident in his ability to survive—and perhaps even thrive.

Luc Cane wasn't just an ordinary young man anymore. He was someone who had been given the chance to rewrite his fate, to carve out a future in a world where magic reigned supreme. The biochip had become his most trusted companion, offering him the knowledge and insight he needed to understand the complexities of this new life.

He would need to learn about the powers of magic, master the Night Skills, and most importantly, find a way to climb the ranks in this magical society. There was a whole new world waiting for him, one filled with mysteries, dangers, and untold potential. And Luc Cane was ready to face it head-on.

He left his room and walked down the grand staircase of the Cane family estate, stepping out into a world that was both alien and familiar. He had no idea where this journey would take him, but one thing was certain: He would no longer be a mere observer in this world of magic. He would become a force to be reckoned with.
