System vs Rebirth

A thousand years ago.

On a bright sunny day, a young man was placing down a wooden box containing food in front of his group. "Everyone, it's time to eat."

The young man had short black hair and a stern face. His body was full of wounds, but he didn't let out an aura that of an expert.

While opening the box, the young man gave his best smile and said, "Come on, everyone!"

"Oh!" The group started approaching him, getting their own share.

"Thank you, Sam!"

"Why do you keep calling me Sam? My name is Alexander Simeon! Simeon! Not Samuel!"

"It's fine, isn't it? Sam is easier to call."

Yes. This person was none other than the ancestor who built the Ardagan Family, Alexander Simeon.

"Tsk." Alexander clicked his tongue, unable to refute it. "Anyway, just eat! Replenish your energy, and we'll fight again!"

"Fine, fine!"

As they were about to eat, they heard a rustling sound coming from the side. In that instant, all the people placed their hands on their weapons, preparing to defend themselves.

Alexander furrowed his eyebrows and started revolving his Spiritual Energy.

But before they could check what was going on, a pair of brother and sister came out of the bushes.

The woman had long brown hair that was tied into twin tails. She wore a plain white shirt with a skirt, but because they were moving around in the woods carelessly, part of her clothes were torn.

On the other hand, the boy had short black hair, covering even his eyes. He looked timid and lacked confidence. His clothes were in the same state, but he seemed more apologetic for reaching that point.

"Who are you?" Alexander asked while frowning.

"Hehehe! Be honored to know my name!" The woman confidently placed her hand over her chest while proudly introducing herself. "I am Margaretha Greenwood. You should be grateful that this proud me came here. Hurry up and serve some food!"

"…" Alexander looked at this woman dumbfoundedly, wondering if he had heard everything wrong or if this woman was just a bit dumb. He ignored the woman and glanced at the other one.

"Ray Greenwood. I'm sorry…" Ray, who later be known as the Sword Saint, apologetically bowed his head.

"The Greenwood Family should be on the other side. The fact that you are here and without food… I see." Alexander sighed. "So, it's just two runaway brats!"
