Marvin Cridland

Introduction
A month before his transmigration, a group of gnolls attacked the original Marvin's territory and occupied his castle and his mines, leaving him no choice but to rely on the River Shore City Lord; he hoped that the City Lord would send him troops to clean up the pack of gnolls. While fleeing his territory for River Shore City, he caught a cold and ultimately died, granting Marvin his opportunity to transmigrate.

Whether or not it was a coincidence, the youth whose memories he fused with was also named Marvin. The birth of a new soul was very painful. Marvin had used a lot of effort to persuade the host’s soul remnant to let go, and it came at a cost. He had to promise to protect what that the pitiful youth wanted to protect: His territory, his younger brother, and a woman.

History
In this world’s Wizard’s Reign era, usually only Wizards and their descendants could become nobles. Marvin’s father was not a Wizard, but his paternal grandfather was. Marvin’s grandfather was a high-ranking member of the South Wizard Alliance. He and his followers were already pioneering when River Shore City had not been built yet. As a Wizard of the alliance, he led them to clear out many unexplored lands to open up new territories.

According to the deal between the Wizard Alliance and the pioneering Wizards, a part of his pioneered lands, now known as White River Valley, would become his own territory. Because of their status as newly reclaimed territories and their proximity with wilderness, these territories were given more freedom than the major southern city states. They did not receive a lot of orders from the Wizard Alliance, aside from regularly paying taxes. But when there was an emergency, they had to be able to answer the wizard alliance’s summons.

Marvin’s grandfather had two children. The elder was Jean, Marvin’s father, and the younger was Miller. After the death of Marvin’s grandfather, Jean cleanly inherited White River Valley along with the territorial administration. And Miller, because he did not have the right of inheriting the territory, obtained a considerable amount of money instead and after privately meeting with Jean to get some more, left White River Valley.

The current Marvin remembered that his uncle had left for many years. He suddenly came back south last year. Apparently his business was thriving and he was a really wealthy businessman. Miller purchased a place in River Shore City. The two brothers met quite often and Jean was extremely happy that his younger brother came back. He spared no expense to welcome him home.

In the innocent youth’s memories, even though that Uncle Miller was quite stingy, his relationship with his brother was very good. But to the current Marvin, there were all kinds of clues in those memories. His father’s body suddenly began to take a turn for the worse only half a year after Miller’s return to River Shore City. His father passed half a year ago. Marvin was barely 14 years old when he inherited the territory along with the title. He began to govern the territory carefully and diligently.

This past year was very hard to handle for a 14 year old. But the results were not bad. Although the original Marvin was somewhat weak, he was quite gifted in managing the territory. Miller went to Jean’s funeral and faked his tears. He also said some strange words. Because he did not inherit the territory, Miller had always antagonized Jean.

Abilities
As a person that was familiar with Feinan Continent and the various knowledge it contains, he is able to accomplish many things and is usually ahead of his enemies due to his vast knowledge. He also has experience as a thief and an accomplished assassin.

Moreover, he was one of the only eleven legendary players in the game before his transmigration, giving him an immense amount of battle experience. He uses his superior techniques and experience to beat opponents that he would otherwise be on equal footing on and sometimes even beating opponents that he would not have any chance of winning against.
