Start of THE journey
After I got to my room, I immediately started reading my books. ‘There is a certain magic called “Scientific Manipulation”, if you wish to be able use it, you must be able to do calculus at the back of your head, know a shit-ton about physics, chemistry, mathematics… essentially you must have an all-rounder knowledge of science, so it was unpopular.’ ‘But those who could be able to use it were all withing the top 10000 of their rank, even after “The Last Mana Wave”, and was ranked 15th most powerful magic amongst thousands of different magic types.’ As I like to say, all truly good things always come without a price. There is to 1st ranked magic, Absolute control, though it’s price isn’t worth it and just the basic conditions are things that I’m unable to complete, though I don’t exactly know about them as it was classified information’ I brought out my note book, a pen and started taking notes, bending the corners of the pages that I don’t understand and noting down all the impo

Quality time with mom 1
“As I said, not my problem” ‘So apparently, I have a tsundere dad and a deredere mom, I can deal with this’ “Mom, is the breakfast ready?” “No, we both have just woken up” But my dad chimed in with a “If you want to eat so badly, drink something, at least it will fill your stomach with something, though if it’s bad, go grab a banana” “Thanks for the tip” “Be sure to leave some space for porridge” “Ok” ‘Porridge huh, at least it’s homemade and warm, plus I can always add something to make it taste better, I hoped that my parents weren’t one who made cereal for breakfast since I forgot, but my hopes turned out to be true’ After 10 minutes of waiting, porridge was served, it didn’t look bad and I tasted it, the taste was also good “If you wish to, I have chocolate in the cupboard, you can grate a bit of it onto the porridge” “Don’t spoil him so much, if he gets used to plain taste, he will be able to save money by not being able to eat tasteless food” ‘I wholeheartedly agree t

“Umm, how should I be reacting to this?” “Ignore it” “I’m almost finished with your registration to the kindergarten, do you wish to know when you’ll be going to it?” “Mom, promise me that you will not punish anyone, or react in any way to what I’m about to say” “Ok” “Give me a moment, I will pull out a piece of paper for you to write it” I pull out a piece of paper and she writes down what she promised. And then I say… ”Fuck” “WHERE DID YOU LEARN THIS?” “You swore that you would not react to this or punish anyone in anyway” “SCREW THE PROMISE, WHERE DID YOU LEARN THIS?” “KEEP THE PROMISE” “ANSWER ME FIRST” “BUT YOU PROMIS- Then she took that slip of paper and tore it to pieces. “Where is the proof of that?” “I already took a photo of this” And I show her the photo But obviously she tries to take it from me, but I pretend that I hide it under my stomach as I quickly place it in my inventory. “Be a good boy and show mommy what you are hiding, if you show me, I will gi

THE start of childhood training
“Yes, yes, now, can we begin training?” “Sure, sure, though you seem ruder than usual, are you in a bad mood?” “No, but I’m in a sort of tight spot with the possibility of dying” “Imagination in children sure is bright” ‘He doesn’t seem like lying and that glint of intelligence in his eyes, Mark has changed. Before, he was just emotionless with a glint that was weaker, and now it got stronger. This change is so sudden that I’m not even sure that I’m standing before my own son.’ ‘There is also a desperation and a will so strong that it can’t be hidden from even Maria.

Dear Diary,... 1
After I opened my diary, I start writing August 13, my sixth birthday I am very tall for someone my age, so some even call me a ten-year-old Turns out the ‘Blessing of fortune’ that the system or Rex spoke of, I don’t remember, influences both parents to do 2 decisions that will make life better for the family. The company that my parents own, “Lochem Industries”, is the proof of that, though apparently, it’s only in the top 5 of the biggest change someone has received. I went do the doctor last month and when she touched me, she was surprised how hard I was so she did a check and look and behold. My muscles are 7 times denser than the average adult, my bones are 5x and my skin, while remaining as flexible, is 3x tougher than the average adult male. ‘You’re gifted with a powerful body, you should become a policeman or a firefighter’, she said, but no way in hell am I listening to this. My accomplishments: -One and a half year ago I started learning the guitar and the piano at
