Universal Skill: Imperial Dominion
Current Rank: 1
Description:The Imperial Dominion is an ethereal manifestation of the MC's music, evolving as they deepen their emotional and musical connection to the world around them. It represents not just sound, but the emotional impact and energy of their music—growing in power and complexity alongside their personal growth. The aura forms in a spiral pattern, reflecting both the tempo and emotional intensity of the music. As it evolves, it becomes not only a representation of the song itself but an active force capable of affecting the environment in both physical and perceptual ways.
The First Memory
"Hello. I know when you see this, you won't believe it—but I know she'll be with you. Isn't that right, Luxandra?" The person chuckled.
Ding.
|Come on, Minho. I told you not to call me that.|
You could tell from the tone of the system that it knew the person well—there was warmth in the voice, a closeness that softened the sound.
"You're pouting, aren't you? Haha." He laughed.
|Jerk… a**hole… :^):^)|
"Well, as I was saying, there are things you need to know about me before I tell you why I want you to see my life—or rather, our life. What you'll see is how I lived, the choices I made, and why I believed they were right at the time."
As he said that, the scene changed—to a woman giving birth. It was a difficult labor.

Activating skill…
Universal Skill: Imperial Dominion
When Ren opened his eyes, he felt small—fragile. As he looked up, he saw a breathtaking woman. She could have been mistaken for a goddess, if not for the lifelessness in her eyes.
She coughed violently, blood staining her lips. "My baby… I know you'll live your life to the fullest. I wish I could see you grow, but my time has come to an end. Please don't blame yourself. I knew there would be complications—but this was my choice, my life."
"Young miss, you haven't named the baby yet, and we're running out of time," said the nurse beside her.
"Oh… I'm sorry. I'll call him Minho—meaning bright. You'll be the brightest star on Earth."
After naming him, she breastfed the child one last time and handed him to the nurse. As she took a final glance at her son, tears rolled down her cheeks. When the baby saw his mother cry, he too began to wail for the first time. Even Ren didn't understand why he felt such deep sorrow at that moment.
When the nurse stepped out with the baby, the woman's family was waiting in the hall. But something was wrong—they didn't look happy. Instead, their expressions carried resentment, as if the child had taken something precious from them.
Ren's POV
"Why the heck are they looking at me like that?" he asked aloud.
Out of nowhere, a silhouette materialized beside him—it was Minho.
"This is my family," Minho said. "The old man with his arms crossed on the bench—that's my father. You're probably wondering why they're all looking at you like that. Well…"
Minho began to explain.This was his family: his father Nathan, his two stepbrothers Jack and William, his stepsister Lucilia, and the other women—his father's wives and aunts. The Rockwell family. A powerful American dynasty owning one of the country's largest oil corporations.
The reason for their coldness was simple—they knew Somin, Minho's mother, would die giving birth to him.
"So… why do I feel your emotions like I'm living your life?" Ren asked.
"Well, you are living my past life—because we're one and the same. The system mentioned a sealed memory, right? I told it to do that. But now that you're here, you'll see how I lived. Maybe then you'll understand why it had to be that way… especially after the career path you chose." Minho laughed softly.
"She tricked you too, didn't she?""Heck yes. Manipulated me into choosing a career I never wanted—and laughed like it wasn't even her fault."
They both laughed.

After their talk, the old man—Nathan—entered the ward."The boy's name is Minho, named by his mother. Minho Rockwell… Do you want to hold him?" the nurse asked.
Nathan, a man who looked like he'd fought countless battles, took the baby—but his expression was chilling.
It was the look of someone gazing at the most disgusting thing ever made."Take that thing and let it fend for itself," he said coldly, before turning and walking inside.
Silence followed. The nurse hesitated, then passed the baby to another woman—a gentle, dark-skinned woman with kind eyes.
"Hello, baby. I'm Jessica, your new nanny. Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on."Jessica was Somin's best friend—a Black American woman who had promised to care for Minho if anything happened. The rest of the family said nothing. One by one, they went in to see Somin, and that was the last time I ever saw my mother.
As all of this unfolded, Ren didn't realize that his aura was shifting with every emotion he experienced.When he saw the woman cough blood, fear filled him—and the aura turned pale gray.When anger flared at Nathan's disgust, it burned fiery red.And when Jessica held him, warmth filled his heart, and the aura turned golden yellow.
All of this was the doing of the Universal Skill: Imperial Dominion.
"So what must I do now live your life the way you lived it or the way I want to live it."I asked the silhouette besides me.
"Ohhh no live life the way you want but I can tell you this__we are the same person I and know you are gonna make the same choices or similar one's as me but for that we have to deal your memories again just for you to live normally but don't worry Luxandra from this life is about to come soon so live as you want I will come back".
