Chapter 2

  3 years have passed now since I've been born in this world

  (“I am able to walk and speak now”)

  It makes it easier for me to wonder around the house and gather info about this world

  (“Though I'm not really a smart guy so reading all this books makes my head hurt so I've been taking it easy”)

  There are many cool things I've discovered about this world

  And that is there are different types power system here magic,Blessing,Dark magic.

  All the people in this world have mana so magic is the most common ways people use here so all beings in this world are capable of using magic

  But there are unfairness in this system the mana pool you have is set by birth,lineage and history of your family

  An example is if you are born as a commoner you'll have average-decent mana pool and if you are a noble you will have a high mana pool.

  And then there's the royalty they are love by the mana and the god of magic and mana Lunox.

  Only nobles and royalty have a chance to enroll in a magic academy and further enhance their knowledge,learn new skills, and such.

  ("The strong get stronger huh")

  But there's still an exemption for commoner those who have talent and those who can contribute in research

  The second power used in this world is the power bestowed by the gods called “Blessing” the power depends on who you chose to serve

  And to be able to wield it to full power you'll need deeper devotion or so they say.

  (“Our town Embervale here have the temple of Vulcanus and the order of the Crimson blade”)

  This is the most difficult way to obtain power in this world but that's because it's the most powerful system in this world.

  (“Hmm so you're at the top of the power chamber if you choose this one huh”)

  And so to gain this power you will need to gain the favour of the gods and once you've obtained their power it'll depend on you whether you devote yourself

  You'll obtain more power if you do and if not well you'll still have the power but much more weaker

  (“Man I want this route it sounds cool, Maybe i should ask father later how to gain the favour of the gods”)

  And last the dark magic the taboo of this world only demons and the beings from the dark continent can use this power

  But there's always those people from the Ashuran Continent tempted by that power and mostly the victims are the lcommoner,peasants,slave, and outcast nobles.

  But in exchange of great power they'll lose part of their humanity like body parts and soul.

  (“Man that sucks are they that desperate”)

  I have also learned that there are 6 continents in this world

  The continent i lived in is called Ashuran a big continent where humans,dwarves,elves,orcs and many more races exist and many kingdoms exists too

  Then there's the demon continent called Tartarus and the dark continent called the land of hallow where the dark forces like demons,dark elves,vampires, and heretic races that made a deal with darkness

  So far that's the only continent i know ("I'll continue studying when i have time and studying all this makes my head hurt really")

  I also found out alot about my family my dad used to be a knight ("well he always brags about it so i found out") and now he's been given this town to rule to and then settles in with our mother

  And now he joins the Order of the Crimson blade as the vice master after awakening his blessing

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  I also found out that my mother belongs to the 5 most important family the "Van Astrea" A family respected by the emperor because its full of the most gifted mages in the empire

  ("Wow im still curious how did he get a woman like her")

  Well now our mother have abandoned that name and take on our father's last name Griffon

  “Mannn reading all of this all day make my head hurt”

  I said while i toss the book in the bed

  (“Hmm but i need to study to gain some kind of advantage here so i guess i have no choice”)

  *Sigh*

  (“I'll head outside for a bit and breathe some fresh air”)

  *Whoosh*

  *Whoosh*

  A sound of sword swinging echoes through the yards

  (“Hmm is it father”)

  I open the door leading outside

  It's a cute girl with a silver hair

  “Oh it's my sister”

  (“She's only about 7 years old but she's already good at sword")

  ("Is she kind of a prodigy? I'll ask her to teach me swordplay”)

  “Big sister”

  I jogged towards her

  “What is it little brother”

  “Can you teach what you're doing”

  (“I have to appeal cute for her so she teach me sword”)

  “You want sister to teach you what I'm doing?”

  “Yes”

  (“Ahh this is kinda tiring and cringy”)

  “You're still too young leo”

  “And I'm not sure if i can teach you well I'm not-”

  “Big sister is good at sword,Pleasee?”

  I said appealing in a puppy eye

  “Ehem , w-well i can teach you a thing or two”

  “Thank you master”

  She blushes as she hears those words

  “W-what M-master!?”

  “Ahemm verywell let's go my disciple”

  She run to pick up a small stick

  (“Man she's so easy that I'm worried about her future”)

  “Here since you can't wield a normal wooden sword yet this is a better alternative”

  I take the wooden stick in her hand

  “Okay, what to do now master”

  “First fix your grip like this and your stance should be like this”

  She instructed me while fixing my grip and posture

  ("Wow she's a natural at this")

  “And now you gotta swing like this”

  She ready her posture and

  *Whoosh*

  *Whoosh*

  I try to imitate the swinging but i fell down facing forward

  (“Damn, as a shut in for over a decade this is new to me”)

  "A-are you alright leon"

  My sister rushed to help me up

  (“But i did sports in highschool, but certainly a decade of locking in really caught up to me even in another world”)

  *Sigh*

  “You're footwork are wrong so that's why you fell over you gotta do like this”

  She demonstrates the proper technique and footwork for the swinging

  “O-okay”

  (“back one foot put all your weight in the front foot and swi-”)

  I fell over again

  (“Man this is harder than i thought, i just want to lay in bed and end this but that'll just going back to the old me”)

  “Okay again”

  I said while standing up

  A few hours later

  *Haah huu*

  *Haahh hu*

  Im panting like a dog

  (“My sister is a demon she's trynna kill me”)

  (“W-well im overacting but she's tireless she's been training here since afternoon”)

  “I can't anymore older sister”

  “Well that's enough for you for now if you want to practice again I'll be here again tomorrow”

  “O-okay”

  (“I'll go back after a month”)

  My thoughts while heading back inside

  (“Let's head back to my room I'll just read in my room until dinner is ready”)

  “I'm beat”

  i found myself back again the other day and the other day and the other day and the day after that

  Ang like that my schedule is reading books at day training at afternoon and reading at night

  When I don't want to go and I'm hiding my sister will find me and drag me to the yard to train

  And so 2 years have since i begin training with my sister

  I'm now 5 years old

  It's dinner with the family

  “Amy are you ready for your school at the academy its next month right”

  (“Hmm what academy are they talking about a school? They have school in this as well?”)

  ("I don't really have a good memoriez in one")

  “Yes mom don't worry I'll do fine on my own”

  “You don't have to worry dear amy has been training hard since she's about 4”

  “I can't help it dear”

  “Where is she going father?”

  “She's going to school leo”

  (“What then our training will stopped then i should ask Phillip to train me”)

  “Ahh dad can i ask you something?"

  "Sure go ahead leon"

  "Since I'm in the right age can you teach me sword?"

  “I want to be able to do the magic sword like you”

  (“I sound like a newbie in a game asking the pro”)

  “Hmm are you interested in becoming like your dad”

  He said while grinning

  “Yes!”

  “H-hey you cheater you already have amy going that path”

  “Well if he's interested what can i do right son”

  Philip said while winking at me

  “Y-yes”

  “Well before you make your decision to be like your dad you gotta know that it's gonna be a really hard path"

  "I know dad"

  I said with a determined face

  He scratched and then sighed

  "Then im gonna tell you what you need to know first story im gonna make it short since i’m kinda tired for starters there are 12 order serving 12 different gods around the Sylvanus Empire as you already know im serving the God of fire Vulcanus the order of Crimson blade here in our town the other 11 are in a different town and cities

  It's not easy to gain this power and serve a god you must first enter a school for knight,sword,magic and then master a skill there,master you swordsmanship or whatever weapon you use,prove yourself and climb ranks.

  Well that's how i gain mine i heard the others were different so I'm not really certain.

  For your information your dad is a knight before joining an order so im pretty strong hehe

  Ah, and just so you know that just because you're able to join to an order doesn't guarantee that you're gonna gain a blessing

  We have many soldier in our ranks that doesn't have one

  So now are you still interested Leon?”

  “Y-yes i am”

  I heard a sigh coming from the direction of my mother

  “Well i can't force him to do magic if he wants to do that”

  “Hehe it's my win, don't worry dear we'll just make again tonight heehe”

  He said while coming closer to our Mother he's trynna kiss her

  “D-dear not infront everyone”

  She says pushing him away

  ("Oy, your daughter,me and the servant are here")

  (“DO IT IN PRIVATE!”)

  “Oopss i got carried away my bad hahaha”

  "You pervert"

  (“Hmm, so It'll be a really hard path huh well im down for it because it sounds cool afterall”)

  “Uhm so father if i want to master swordsmanship what school should i go to?”

  “Hmm Xavier Academy offer all the program so you should go there”

  “Well you can't enter till you're 10 so forget it for now you'll join my and amy's training session till you're old enough to enter Xavier Academy”

  “Okay”

  “We'll begin with the training next week so enjoy the moment for now leon”

  (“What does he mean by that am i gonna die I'm still a beginner you know”)

  And suddenly I felt an intense gaze towards me

  ("Oh it's sister why is she staring like that to me")

  "H-hey father if leon is gonna train with us doesn't that mean he's gonna be my junior"

  "Yes amy be gentle with you junior you'll be sparring with him a lot"

  ("W-woah are you for real I'm gonna spar with that sword genius")

  ("Am i gonna be okay")

  I don't know that time what kind of hellish training that's awaiting for me

  All i know in that moment is that this is the first step for changing and kinda excited for some reason.
