My life wasn't least bit easy. But it wasn't that bad either. Everyone have their own definitions for how life should be. Some says that, life will be perfect only if you have everything you want and accomplish everything you want to do. For the rest of the people, they acknowledge life as a combination of emotions and reflection of it on one's life.

 I always believed that my fate was the consequence of my choices. Like many others, I died leaving behind everything I used to be. But it wasn't the end. Soon, I reincarnated as a prince of the Atlas Empire. Everyone must have thought at least once to reincarnate as someone like a main character in a novel. I was the same.

An emperor who rules the empire wisely and be respected by everyone.

A duke with a lot of wealth and power.

The protagonist of all the novels I had read were all attractive and powerful and had a happy ending. I had always wanted to live like a main character. But I wasn't expecting to reincarnate, not to mention as a prince.

When I woke up, I had reincarnated as the third prince of the Atlas Empire. I thought for sure that since I was a prince, I will be loved by everyone, just like a main character. But I was wrong since main characters were always fictional. I was a prince who was abandoned by everyone including the emperor.

 The first and the last time I had met my biological father was on the day I born. He didn't even bother to held me in his hands. All I could see in his golden colored eyes which should've spread rays of warmth was hatred towards me. The emperor had chased me  to a palace away from the main palace. I heard from the maids that my mother who was the empress died due to weak body after gave birth to me. I also had three elder brothers. But none of them had visited me so far.

Even the palace maids hated me. Their chances to serve other princes were ruined due to my existence. Serving someone like me was something they hated. Sometimes, they didn't even give me enough food, and whenever I cried, the maids beat me up until my body turned red. They've never treated me as how a royalty should be treated. Thanks to that, the survival story of the third prince, Noah Atlas, had begun.
