I don't think it's a waste to read the novel. you can't say that the parents didn't accept him while you stopt reading. Further in the novel his relation with his parents becomes better again and it isn't strange that they're shocked at first because who would not be when they find out their son is in fact someone with a much older mind. Imagine being the mother who breastfeed a baby who she thought was only a few years old but was actually much older and completely conscious. I do have to say that the story repeats itself a bit with him getting stronger and then having a downfall and then getting stronger again, but that doesn't mean you can downgrade the novel by saying it isn't worth reading because of the fact that his parents at first can't completely accept it that he's in fact someone who reincarnated. I enjoy reading the novel. I'm sorry if I sound rude, I don't mean it like that, but I don't want people to not read the novel because of this reaction while it's actually pretty good.

Dun get me wrong, im not trying to ruin the mood, but i just wanna help ppl who dun wanna waste their time reading the novel. Bec the novel (for me) became such a disappointment in later chapters, i swear
- art became an adventurer, b-class. Then after 2 years he became famous among adventurers. Hes now a-class. He went inside a dungeon with teammates (lucas and elijah included) but the boss turned out to be s-class so it killed half of the party, lucas betrayed them (making them the bait). Ofc art defeated it later on but his face was revealed and his power to elijah. From there they started to become best friends
- art wanted revenge on lucas but lucas comes from a powerful family so he decided to become stronger first. Hes wearing a mask so lucas doesn't rly know who he is
- elijah came to live with art in the helstea (? whatever the spelling is lol) so hes gonna attend xyrus academy too. Hes keeping art's secret too
- art plans to hide his ability in school so hes wearing a seal for his fire and lightning(?), mainly bec of lucas so everyone knows hes just using earth and water (? I dun rly rmb the exact element lol) anyway he plans not to attract much attention
- putting that aside, king/queen of humans, elves and dwarves united and became The Council. Reason is it seems theres a new continent and they wanna know more abt it (since it seems they are pretty advanced and strong). Then the council introduced the 6 lances (consist of 2 mage elf, 2 mage human and 2 mage dwarf), theyre kinda like strong bodyguards for each race
- tess is alrdy attending the school as a president of student council.
- depsite art saying he doesnt want attention, he still ended up drawing attention lol on first day, he defeated a bully professor, he became a member of the disciplinary committee (the prince and princess of sapin also member too). Plus after art defeating the professor, director goodsky asked art to become a professor as a replacement of that bully teacher lol. Art accepted
- tess and art reunion (this is where tess becomes annoying for me) since shes literally forcing art to like her and guilttripping him, in the end art said he doesnt plan to date soon and makes tess wait (kinda). Art eventually gave the s-core to tess (from the s class dungeon he got) cause it has a beast will but art cant use it cause he alrdy has dragon
- kinda random but actually important: art went shopping with his family but he wanted to shop something that will help his training but he ended up in a shabby shop with an old man and a mysterious cat. The old man stole his silver coin and in exchange he can take whatever he wants in the shop, he ended up not choosing anything so the old man gave him a small orb saying it will help him in the future
- tess had trouble assimilating with her the beast will and almost killed her but the orb he got helped her. And she went past silver stage i think? Or something like that (This is the reason im starting to dislike her, everyhing was just handed to her and she still acts like a brat if art is not paying attention to her grr)
- the new continent has something to do with the black horned ppl that after sylvia before and they are secretly attacking dicathen continent
- the mysterious cat from the shop turns out to be a deity (windsom) who serves sylvia before. Now they want art to help out defeating those (theres more than that but hard to explain). He even said why he wasted the orb to tess lol it was for him so it will help his training (he ended up giving another one)
- xyrus academy was attacked by those ppl, lucas got brainwashed by them and he attacked the students and professors. He got tess to lure art. Art ended up revealing his beast will and defeated lucas (was disappointed with this cause i wasnt satisfied with his revenge here, lucas was manipulated too. I wanted lucas to know at least art and note are same person, but he died without knowing, meh). Tho its kinda funny, art literally destroyed lucas' dick cause he didnt want him to spread his rotting genes(?) lol
(i think this is where things started to go wrong for me)
- art supposedly saved the academy but he got captured by the lances and brought him to the council for a trial (? kinda), they imprisoned sylvie too. The elve king and queen couldnt do anything for art too. So art was imprisoned and turns out the director got imprisoned too (so thats the reason why the academy got attacked, cause she wasnt there). The council is planning to use director and art as scapegoats for their plan. Like they will tell the ppl that it was them who did the attack. Turns out the council (more like the human and dwarf king and queen) joined forces with those horned ppl
- the deity (windsom) went to save arthur and he killed the dwarf king and queen bec they are "corrupted" and will serve as a warning for human king and queen. Windsom now plans to take art to their place (where sylvia's father) and to train him
- before they left, he let art bid goodbye to his family. Now this is where art told his parents abt his reincarnation but his mom and dad didnt take it well, especially his mom. She even said art is sick. They rejected him. They are thinking that art wasnt rly their son now and art replaced their supposedly baby. Art still left with windsom and he started his training there.
Then i stopped reading cause it became so stupid and disappointing. Sigh. Im disappointed cause it was rly such a good story but it started to go downhill. Another annoying thing is the frequent change of POV in the novel. Theres even POV of lucas like wtf who the fck cares abt his POV. Tho i hope the webtoon ver would still be good.....
