Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

In the year 442 of the Ankylon calendar, the second year of the founding of the Asura Empire, and the eighth year of the reign of Edward Anemoy Asura, the former king of the Asura Kingdom and the current emperor of the Asura Empire.

Robin Notos Grellat, twenty years old this year, has been labeled with various tags since his name first appeared in people's sight fifteen years ago, such as: the orphan of the first soldier of Asura, the illegitimate son of the Regent, the successor of the Notos family, and so on.

However, Robin believed that these titles were nothing but empty names. He knew that the world was full of truths and falsehoods, and he could distinguish between what truly mattered and what could be ignored.

After all, if you include his past life, Robin is probably a middle-aged man in his late forties or early fifties now.

Strangely enough, the conditions for rebirth, such as company bankruptcy, huge debts, being cuckolded, and the death of both parents, don't seem to fit Robin at all.

As a corporate slave, being choked to death in instant noodles and reincarnated into another world is already fantastical enough, but what he didn't expect was that he would have an amazing start in the other world.

Robin's biological father is Rob Nottos Grayra, the eldest son of the upper-class noble family Nottos. Unfortunately, Robin's mother in this world passed away after giving birth to Robin.

However, compared to being born into a privileged background, things like being born without a mother seem to be of little importance at birth.

Unfortunately, Robin's privileged background did not bring him good fortune as an infant. Soon after, his father died in battle, and he began to live a life of dependence on others.

But as the hero who fought against Gravel and the son of Rob Nottos Grellat, the first soldier of Asura, Robin embarks on his own extraordinary path under the protection of his main family, the Nottos family, and with the support of his adoptive father, Rudeus Boreas Grellat.

……

Robin's perspective:

……

My name is Robin Notos Grellat. I am twenty years old and unmarried. Just like in my previous life, I am handsome and have won the hearts of countless young women. Whether in Yandu and Modu back then or in the royal capital of Ars now, I am a handsome young man in the surrounding area.

Moreover, although my background is shrouded in mystery in this life, at least I'm starting out as a superior person! It's much better than being a corporate slave in my previous life.

Two years ago, my adoptive father Rudeus promoted me to cabinet councilor to participate in the cabinet meetings of the Silver Palace. Although I had no say, I was still considered to have climbed a high branch.

"It's been a month since winter began, but there hasn't been a single snowfall this year. Throughout the entire Asura Empire, not a single snowflake has fallen. It feels as if the gods are angry with the way humans have done things."

"What do you mean by that? His Majesty hasn't even said anything yet, who gave you the right to interrupt?"

I am now on my way to the Cabinet meeting room next to the King's Chamber, and I can hear the arguing coming from inside the room from the corridor.

The former was a middle-aged man, the senior councilor Carter Yerosnek, who was pardoned by the late King Ariel and returned to the capital, and was highly valued after Edward ascended the throne.

The latter was a hot-tempered young man, three years younger than me, the eldest son of my adoptive father Rudius, Jars Boreas Grerat.

There should also be my adoptive father and other cabinet ministers in the room.

They are arguing about the snow, but I think this phenomenon is most likely caused by human factors.

During the ten years following the ascension of King Ariel, Asura prioritized the development of magic. Taking advantage of the war in the northern lands, Asura brought together the main technologies of the three major magical nations and most of the core teachers of the La Noah Magic University. It also reorganized the Royal Academy to establish the Asura Magic University to take over the core teachers of the magic university, and established the Ars Imperial University to continue the functions of the former Royal Academy.

In just ten years, Asura's status in magic has surpassed that of the former La Noah Magic University, and even now, magic elites from all over the world come to Asura Magic University to study.

After more than a decade of talent development, Asura's various territories have acquired the ability to withstand the weather. Therefore, the only explanation for this unusual phenomenon of prolonged periods without snow is that someone is manipulating things behind the scenes.

But what purpose does this person or these people intend to achieve through this phenomenon? I have no way of knowing.

"Robin, come here."

After I walked to the door, my adoptive father Rudius arranged for me to sit next to him. He was rubbing his mustache with two fingers, his eyes fixed on Ars in front of him, and his expression was slightly solemn, as if he was both worried and helpless.

There were about a dozen people in the hall. The only thing separating the hall from the king was a screen, through which the emperor could be vaguely seen sitting behind the screen.

That's when I realized that my adoptive father, Rudius, wasn't concerned about Jars, but rather with the Emperor's movements behind the screen.

"Do you remember, seventeen years ago, during the years when Prince Gravel was regent, there were snow disasters and monsters attacking the country. Why didn't Lord Carter come out to submit a memorial saying that the gods were angry then?"

At this meeting, I was naturally on the same side as Ars, so as soon as I sat down, I stood up to support him and rebuked Carter: "If I remember correctly, Lord Carter's grandfather, Lord Sal, not only pleaded for His Highness Halfas, but also later joined the traitor Darius. Whom is Lord Carter trying to speak for now?"

"I entered the cabinet by virtue of the late king's grace, and of course I am worried about His Majesty. It hasn't snowed for a whole month this winter. It is clearly Lord Rudeus's reforms that have destroyed Asura's traditions and aroused the wrath of the gods!"

After hearing my words, Carter smiled indifferently. He didn't take me and Yars seriously at all, and even used my words as a stepping stone to criticize his adoptive father.

However, these words contained a hidden meaning. It was not Carter who directly attacked, but Emperor Edward used Carter's words to warn his adoptive father, and even to warn Boreas.

"Lord Rudius!"

Carter glared at Rudius and muttered, "This is a warning from heaven!"

"Ha, a warning from heaven?"

Yars sneered, "What has my father done in the past ten years that wasn't for His Majesty? What has he done that wasn't for the common people of Asura?"

"The common people? You dare to talk about the common people?"

At that moment, Edward's voice came from behind the screen; the fifteen-year-old boy clearly had his own ideas.

"The seventy-one cities of Asura's four territories are all on my shoulders. It is not your place to speak of the common people!"

[Note: This is a reference to Yan Shifan, the Junior Grand Secretary in 1566.]

The dragon roared in fury, and the dozen or so people in the hall knelt down, including me. There was a distinction between ruler and subject, and this was especially true after the establishment of the Asura Empire.

Now, the military force is aimed directly at the reform. In the past few years, Rudius has solved the problem of the lords holding their own armies by reducing their military power and dispatching knights to the garrisons of the four major territories. Although he has encountered resistance, he cannot stop the word "kill".

The reform I just mentioned was the civil service examination system implemented by Rudius two months ago on my advice. It selects talent through layers of examinations, but it also indirectly blocks the possibility of the territory storing talent and the old nobles and other vested interests from consolidating their power.

Edward's current attitude suggests that he is under a lot of pressure.

I looked at Rudius.

He didn't kneel down...

"Your Majesty takes the well-being of the people as your own responsibility and places the entire Asura on your shoulders, while I am powerless to do so. I feel both guilty and ashamed. Since Your Majesty has worked so hard, please rest well. We will take our leave now."

He not only refused to kneel, but also turned and left.

Rudius's actions forced Jars and me to leave as well, as we could no longer stay there.

"Damn it! That Rudius! I don't think he respects His Majesty at all! Traitor! Traitor!"

We had barely left when Carter started cursing in the meeting room, and we could hear him yelling all over the hallway.

Several other cabinet ministers also left the meeting room one after another, leaving only Carter and a few others inside.

……

“Father, Edward has gone too far. Isn’t this putting you in a position of disloyalty and injustice?”

Inside the carriage, Ars angrily clenched his fist and slammed it against his thigh.

If you ignore his hair, he looks almost exactly like Rudeus when he was young, but he doesn't seem to have Rudeus's reserved personality. Instead, he seems to have inherited more of his mother Alice's fiery personality.

"The Lord Father should have his own countermeasures."

I advised, "Besides, if what you just said gets out, wouldn't that be harming Lord Father?"

"Sorry, I misspoke again. Thank you for reminding me, Robin."

Ars was somewhat disappointed.

I remember that when Rudyus was his age, he was already a high-ranking inspector who struck fear into the hearts of all the officials in the capital.

Rudius kept staring out of the carriage without saying a word.

I could sense the disappointment in Jars' eyes when he secretly glanced at Rudeus, as if Rudeus had no expectations of Jars.

There's nothing left for Ars and his companions to strive for in this era. Rudeus has already left his descendants a great deal of wealth, and I can understand that Rudeus actually has very high expectations for Ars.

When Ars was five years old, he entered the Royal Academy and was taught magic without chanting, as well as swordsmanship instruction by the current water goddess Izuruti and the sword king Kyrie Irren.

At the age of ten, Ars had already reached the advanced level of Water God Style and Sword God Style, and mastered Saint-level fire magic without chanting and other advanced attack magic of the three elements. He has maintained this level to this day, and both Water God Style and Sword God Style are expected to reach Saint level.

"Is Brother Robin coming? I know Brother Robin is coming today!"

As soon as I arrived at the Boreas Manor, I heard a clear, bell-like shout.

It's Christina.

……

The butler opened the carriage door to welcome Rudeus, Ars, and Robin as they stepped off the carriage. Robin was first helped off the carriage by a servant, and then Ars and his adoptive father Rudeus were politely helped off the carriage.

Of course, this is the normal plot. In reality, Robin was rushed up and hugged by Christina as soon as he got off the carriage.

"Brother Robin, I miss you so much! You haven't come for three days."

Chris hugged Robin tightly, wrapping her arms around his back and nuzzling her head against his chest like a kitten.

"That's why I'm here today."

Robin stroked her long, smooth, crimson hair twice, then pushed her head closer to his chest.

“You two were having lunch together yesterday, and Aunt Aisha saw you at the tavern.”

Ars made a comment and left, but Rudeus didn't say a word the whole time, and didn't even glance at Robin and Chris.

“I think he might not approve of me being with Chris. He said a few words in Japanese to me when we were kids. I think he is either a reincarnated person like me, or his supporter, the Dragon God Lord Alsteed, is a reincarnated person. But I have never broken through this barrier.”

Robin observed Rudeus's reaction, a slight ripple of emotion stirring within her. "After all, Chris is Rudeus's eldest daughter. From a politician's perspective, she must marry someone of greater value."

However, Rudius does not seem to be the kind of pure politician. He once went head-to-head with the powerful Prince Gravel for the sake of his second concubine.

Would he be willing to sacrifice some political considerations for Christina's happiness?

Robin had doubts about this.

Of course, Robin wouldn't be so naive as to kidnap Chris and push Rudeus to that point.

At lunchtime, Chris was sitting to Robin's left, and Lucy was sitting to his right.

Chris has the same almond-shaped eyes and long, red hair as her mother Alice, and also has the same beauty mark at the corner of her eye as her father. Her slightly chubby face is quite adorable.

Sitting to Robin's right was Lucy, whose face was even more beautiful than Chris's. Her wine-red eyes shone with the color of sunshine, and her long ears would sway up and down with her mood, making cute reactions. Her long brown hair was tied into a single ponytail that stuck high on the back of her head, with a golden lily with a ruby ​​core inserted in the bun. She once told me that it was a recast version of the golden magic wand that her father had given to her mother.

Last month, Lord Paul, along with Lady Senis, Lady Hilda, Lady Alice, Aunt Silphi, and Aunt Loki, took Lala, Lily, and Sieg to the territory of Fituia to pay respects at the graves of their deceased relatives. They are expected to return to the capital after spring.

This situation also made the lunch less complicated, because it was really uncomfortable to be in front of those ladies. Now that there were fewer people, it was certainly more comfortable.

Although Robin never showed any discomfort, that was the truth.

"You'll be very tired in a while, so you two should eat more."

As Rudius gestured for the servants to fill Robin and Ars's plates with steak, he said unhurriedly, "Eat up."

Seeing Rudius's reaction, Ars and Robin exchanged glances, and a cold atmosphere filled the dining table.

"dad!"

Chris pouted and complained to Rudeus, "Brother Robin finally comes all this way, can't he just have a proper meal?"

"I'm done eating."

At this moment, Lucy gently picked up the napkin on the table and wiped her mouth. After bowing slightly, she was about to get up and leave, but before leaving, she went to Rudius's side, filled the wine glass on the table, and then left the restaurant.

"Is Chris full?"

Rudius said.

"I...."

"You go out too."

"Well...."

Although Chris was reluctant, she complied with Rudeus's tone.

The servant closed the restaurant door, and Rudius got straight to the point.

“You two are still too young. I used to worry about whether you could protect the Boreas family if I were to suddenly pass away. Now it seems that it is indeed more worrying.”

Rudius calmly cut the steak in front of him with his knife and fork, slowly bringing it to his mouth. "But it is true, I was able to have the Boreas I am today only because of the protection of the late Queen Ariel. Why should I force you to do what I couldn't do at your age?"

At this moment, neither Robin nor Ars dared to speak. One had become a stepping stone for political enemies to attack Rudius at the cabinet meeting, and the other had said something outrageous on the way back. They would eventually be punished, so Robin and Ars had a certain understanding of what was going on.

“You two are both smart children, and you have seen His Majesty’s attitude towards me. But now there is no longer the opportunity for you to go through the same growth process of rolling out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood as before. If His Majesty makes a move next, I may have to atone with my death. At that time, the preservation of the Boreas family will depend on you.”

Such a statement was almost like a last will and testament. Although Jars did not speak, his eyes had already turned slightly red.

Robin, observing this, seemed to suddenly understand Rudius's previous arrangements.

Perhaps Rudius had foreseen this day, which is why he sent his family to the territory of Fituia a month ago. There might be enough ways to protect his family in the fiefdom of the Naberias family. He kept Ars, Christina and Lucy, the three eldest children, by his side, perhaps to teach them how to fish.

Rudius spoke slowly and calmly, his expression remaining composed, as he had experienced many trials and tribulations. However, Jars was crying uncontrollably. He had been able to hold back his tears for a while, but after more than ten minutes, he was sobbing uncontrollably on the table.

Looking at the scene before him, Robin suddenly felt a sense of impending doom, yet there was also a vague sense of unease.
