Raymond browsed once more through the system window. Apparently, it can be called. After plenty of attempts to summon it, it can be called "System." Crazy, but Raymond's guesses were inspired by the books he had read.

Finally, Raymond was reading all the way through the description of Chapter One. The requirements that he had read before, and the previous description were only a summary. Raymond should understand more of them first.

Chapter One: Awakening Ceremony

After awakening a # Grade Talent, you will receive your first skill from the same ceremony. You will be tasked with improving your grasp of the Talent you have and will come to the academy after a month.

The month will decide if the student is qualified to be supported by the village. If the student couldn't grasp more of their Talent, the village would put them on the waiting list where their studies would be extended for two years for them to learn more about it.

---

Raymond nodded as he tried to understand every word of the contents he had read.

It was amusing, but not to the point that he was surprised that the premise of Chapter One would focus on the academy.

However, he should not jump to a conclusion. This was just the beginning of the description. He would have to read more.

Raymond read a censored part of the description. Even with how curious he was, he only dismissed it and continued reading the remaining texts. It was the final, after all.

---

Chapter One will cover five years. Three years before the awakening, one year for the academy, and another one year after the academy. Hence, it will end when you are 17 years old.

But in this chapter, what needs to be learned are relationships, affairs, and monopoly. It would be beneficial for you if you had the three skills, but if you are unable to have all the three, learn the last skill, monopoly.

By monopolizing things around you, you will achieve more in life. Achieving things in life is what the purpose of this life is. You are destined for greatness, but you should work for it.

---

Raymond sighed at the final text in the description. How should he react to it? Was it challenging or confusing? In fact, he didn't know since all of it was nothing to him.

He wasn't excited by the contents of the description, as it wasn't that helpful at all. What was more useful were the memories he had from the day before. The memories from the plot combined to form his core memory.

There were plenty of feelings he felt that rushed through his system from remembering the scornful moments in this memory. It wasn't memorable, but it should not be forgotten. Even if the plot could be changed, he won't be complacent.

What was in his memories from the plot was friendship. It was the relationship he had built since childhood. However, he speculated that he wasn't the only one who had a great future if successful.

He speculated that there may be one or more than one who is destined to be great in the future. That was why the first chapter prioritized relationships first.

The sign was for Mission # 2. It was clear that he had to make some preparations for the future. And then, the second sign was vague. He still doesn't know what's supposed to happen after five years.

The range of his knowledge only stopped at the first five years; the next years were not included, so he knew that this was a sign to prepare things.

"Hmm... the affairs. To be more specific, it should be political matters."

There was political involvement in Chapter One as well. Since he had some challenges, crashing into powerful people was one of them. The power comes from politics, meaning, the higher officials in the village.

There were village elders. Most commonly called "Lord" by the village men, they were not the only ones who had political power; there were merchants as well.

Apparently, they have influence over politics too.

"I guess I should also note that one." Raymond gritted his teeth as he remembered one thing from his memories.

Two years from now, Raymond will have a fight with a rich kid because said rich kid bullied his childhood friends, Anna and Arthur.

It wasn't supposed to be a fight, but since that kid was clumsy in a slightly awkward manner, he tripped and had wounds on his legs. Because that rich kid was the son of a powerful person in the village, this was used to push them to the corners.

Absurd, right? Because it was only in this manner that they suffered. His father was cut from the hunting job and his family was not supplied with fertilizer. That made their family useless to the clan.

And as absurd as it is as well, this family covered that up from the other officials, making them look like lazies. And so, they were on the edge of being kicked out of the clan.

Well... it's only happened since that kid asked his over-loving father to punish them. And how stupid his father was, that it all happened.

But Raymond didn't have the will to stop it. He had a card prepared in case that happened in the future. And he is willing to hide it from anyone.

Finally, the monopolizing skill to be learned from this chapter.

Well, it was almost certainly because Raymond should keep the information he obtained in order to exert control over others. That was why this injecting plot section was very useful to him. Even with the challenges, he still has advantages.

Raymond smiled, then stood up from his seat. He still had three years to enjoy as most of the challenges happened in the 4th year of Chapter One, the starting of the ceremony, and the academy.

"I should practice learning how to control mana. It kinda sucked that mana was the most prominent energy in this world, but eventually, it will turn into my MP since I am not normal like others."

Apparently, Raymond had a system like a game. He didn't need to focus on widening his mana coverage since MP, will be presented as his main magic power.

What was it? Well, it was only beneficial for him since he could get rewards from it and expand it without any difficulties.

    Is it best to feel the warmth of being alive? This was the experience Raymond always wanted to treasure and might be the most beautiful thing that ever existed in his life. His life on Earth stopped when he was 12, but another life continued at 12 as well. Even if there were problems presented to him in the future, he at least had some clues on how to fix and overcome them. What Raymond needed to learn now was how to use mana. Indeed, even though he was still unawakened, he had a chance to feel the mana. In the past, there were cases where unawakened people were able to feel the mana. They were called prodigies, not only because of their ability to feel the mana but because they were also able to open a status card without being awakened. What was it? Well, it was only a normal status card. It shows people's progress and what would appear there if an unawakened person were able to open it. Well, only their stats. People with these kinds of abilities are always one step ahead of o

    "So I only progressed this much? It isn't that disappointing. I still have more time to come. The more energy I get, the more immersed I am in it." Raymond mumbled while in his meditation. After a while, Raymond decided to stop meditating for a few hours and went to the living room of their house. He then met his younger sister, Lilia, there. "Big Brother! Can you help me with this, please? I accidentally pulled the curtain earlier." Lilia asked, with the teary eyes of a child. Raymond snickered, then nodded. He approached his sister and helped her with the fixing of the curtain. After that, his sister thanked him. "No problem," Raymond said, then left her. Apart from preparing for his MP, Raymond had to think about his physical strength. With constant practice, strength rises. So, he might be thinking of exercising. However, of course, he should not exert himself too much on it. He was still 12 years old, and his bones were still weak at that age. He still needs more improvemen

    "Hunting? Why would we go hunting? I am still not at the right age." Raymond replied to his father, who was preparing some materials.His father looked at him from top to bottom, then went back to his face. His father smirked, then went back to preparing."Look at your body. It is forming well, but it would be wasted if you didn't practice hunting. After all, your age would be the best age to practice hunting." His father said.Raymond was left wondering. It was not because of why he should practice, but how his father thought of it. From his memories, his father never asked him to practice hunting. This just made him curious about the change.Was it perhaps that he was training? But even with it, his father was not the type of person that would ask him to go hunting since his father was one of those overprotective parents.Raymond was left with no choice. He then searched for his mother and looked at her. His mother only snickered at him, knowing that he was looking for an ally. But

    "Vertical Slash..." Raymond mumbled on his position as he looked at how greatly his father finished the monster. It was too easy, perhaps because it was only level one.Knowing that the mother was already dead, so Raymond moved and approached his father since he had some questions in his mind. As he approached him, he noticed that his father was flawlessly cleaning the blood from his sword.'What an amazing father...' Raymond thought."Father, at what level can you survive? I heard some voices calling 'levels,' then I thought there was a power range standard in this venue."His father was dumbfounded for a second as his son mentioned it to him. Then, later on, he smiled and patted Raymond's head. He brushed the hair strands and then complied with his question."You really are a genius, Raymond. But to answer your question, I can only take level three, and you must be curious about how I can easily kill that, huh. Was that the reason you asked me?"Raymond nodded to his father's questi

    "What kind of human is she?! She doesn't know that men's testicles are the most sensitive parts of men's bodies. It is the treasure of men!" One bodyguard of a young man exclaimed in such an irritated tone."I know, that is why I kicked it right on the spot." Rebecca sneered as her eyes were rolling away from sighting them.Standing outside of Raymond's family's house were two bodyguards, Rebecca, a young man, and Raymond's mother, Rowena. They were standing outside with different expressions on their faces as a commotion was happening.The commotion was starting to attract attention, and as someone who heard it was close to their father, Rudy, it immediately reached Rudy's ear until Raymond.Rebecca had a stalker, a young man named Fulgran. He was a young man aged 17 years old and also the only son of the squad commander of the special unit.

    "That disgusting whore!" Fulgran exclaimed and smashed all the items inside his room. He swept his table and dropped all the glass decorations on it.Everyone outside, the maids and the boys, flinched in surprise as they heard how the young master was shouting in infuriating. They couldn't do anything; they just stood there and waited for an order.Later on, a person came in front of the door. It was a man in his late 40s, with a slightly off-built, bumpy stomach and less developed biceps. He then approached a maid and asked after she bowed to greet him."What happened to the young master? Why is he so enraged?""I don't know, sir. He suddenly became like that after his visit to the lower district. Please forgive me."The man nodded and just went back to the door. He let out a sigh, then knocked on the door.'Lower district? Was it about the bitch he was following around? Did he finally confront her, but was rejected, and thus become this way? Pathetic.

    Raymond had already finished his daily routine. When he got home, he noticed how his mother seemed dejected. He then asked what the reason was, and when he learned the answer, he could only clench his teeth."At the market, no one would sell their products to me. I don't know what the reason is, but I feel like something was going on behind my back."However, Raymond already knew it, and he also felt that Rowena already knew it too, but she just wanted to deny the fact."Mom, I will be the one buying the ingredients today. Since I don't usually go there, maybe they won't know that I am your son." Raymond suggested that made his mother silent.Then, afterward, she sighed and said, "Alright. Here's the list. I am sorry for bothering you over this matter, Raymond. You have already worked too much, and you haven't even rested for the day.""It is okay, Mom. I'll be going."Raymond went to the marketplace, and fortunately, he had no complications with buying the ingredients. After that, he

    The three noble children were flabbergasted by Raymond's reply. They went silent, intently looking at him with their wide eyes. Then one of them spoke up about their demands."You do really want to go the hard way, commoner. Even if you have an A-grade, you are still a commoner, so you have to listen to us."Just as this person said, everyone was surprised. The other students came to a halt and began prying on the scene. They were loud at the time, and that was why they were grabbed onto the scene. However, what they could notice was that, no matter how infuriated the noble children were, Raymond remained calm and unbothered by their tantrums."Hey, commoner. Even if you are backed by General McWorthy, you don't have the right to ignore nobles. That doesn't mean that you are equal to us, even if you are an A-grade.""He is right.

    "Ah, no, it is a casual question, it is not the actual question."Raymond smiled and nodded. "Will I have more points if I answer your question?"Kian was speechless, as were Raymond's classmates. They blankly looked at Raymond with disbelief because of his blunt words. He just blurted it out, and it ended up being an absurd question.Kian had a gap in his lips and he slightly gave an answer, which he was not sure was needed."You will have more points."Raymond was overjoyed. "Yes!" Then he faced Kian. "Okay, teacher, you may now ask me another question.""Does an awakened person have only one Talent?""No, because there is a second awakening and a third awakening. The second awakening mostly happens when the person has already mastered their Talent and has two pure Skills out of it. Meanwhile, the third awakening is so rare that no one could tell when they would awaken again.""And what is the use of the sphere? Can they just use it again and awaken if they like?

    Reputation was important for individuals who wanted to establish their names in an organization or environment. Hence, Raymond thought that what if he showed that he was not an easy person to approach? So, on the first day of the academy, it was already clear that his batchmates would be looking at him. It was already that much to think of, as his face was already in public. However, what was not widely known in the public was his attitude. Hence, for the whole two years under the academy, Raymond intended to use his attitude as the major factor for getting people to give him space. But the question was, why would he put much effort into having his own space? 'It is already obvious that the plot changed. Hence, the difficulty changed to the point that it would be difficult for me to filter things out. So, instead of letting other people unintentionally mask my vision, I would push them to have a clear path and a clear vision of what to see.' I

It was satisfying for Raymond, but later on, he knew what he should focus on.The academy offered board to him, to cater to him to their fullest extent since he was the 4th A-Grader in the village. Even McWorthy was surprised by it, and he immediately revealed his connection with Raymond.Raymond backed it up, and after a week of back-and-forth with the academy and other officials attempting to poach him, he finally had peace of mind."I finally fixed the problem with my family. We are now living financially stable with the help of General McWorthy, but there is still one thing that I wanted to have."It was security for his family. McWorthy could not offer it since his men were focusing on fighting criminals. Even Gandina was just an exception to it and was ordered to protect Raymond's family."I apologize for that, Raymond.

The orb was turned on, and the light indicated that the orb was starting to surge with energy to measure Raymond's grade.Five seconds passed, and everyone started to bet on what Raymond's grade could be. But they were simply underestimating him, as they had done to others.But the village elder was confused. Raymond seemed to not care about what was happening to him. His eyes were just staring at the orb with no certain expression, and that made his eyebrows raise in perplexity.'What with this kid?' he asked himself.15...Raymond already passed the 15th mark, which indicated that he was at least higher than a D-Grade. He could be C-Grade, but he passed the 20th mark as well.A B-Grade? That was amazing, and everyone's eyes flickered in amusement and excitement."Wow..."But then, they weren't expecting it.

    Awakening Ceremony [1]

    Standing in front of a wide building in the Middle District, Raymond had his eyes fixed on it where people of his age were starting to flock and enter the same building.He was nervous. But, despite the nervousness, he had excitement, too, and just looking at different people fueled it.He took a deep breath, then exhaled afterward. And as he got to continue with the flow of the people, he finally entered the building.The building was like an astrodome with unexplainable wideness. The interior had just one-story seats, and the center had a wide stage that seemed to be a stage for entertainment.Raymond assessed the things he had seen and what came into his mind about the stage was that it was for the announcement and for the one-by-one calling of the people.They were not that plentiful, in fact. There could be just hundreds of kids from lower district to higher district, but for Raymond, there were still plenty of people to attend a ceremony.Raymond fell in line and followed the ma

    "The Trident Org disappeared once again. Before, they had killed a few important individuals in the Higher District. I did not expect that they would appear in the Middle District.""How did you know about them, Sir?" Raymond asked."I heard about the Trident Org, but I didn't know about their symbol. It was only when I asked one of my colleagues about the trident symbol."Raymond put the pieces together. It could be that he just forgot about it, but he didn't have any recollection of the Trident Org.A question then popped into his mind about how he could taunt the people who sent those assassins."Where did you put their bodies, Sir?" Raymond asked again."I put them in the higher district. The plaza there is famous for criminal executions."Raymond nodded simultaneously as he understood Gandina's explanation.When the night arrived, Raymond continued circulating his mana to improve his MP.

    After the Event

    Raymond continued his training after the incident. They were traumatized by it, but luckily, only Raymond, Rudy, and Rebecca saw it. Rowena and Lilia were safe from the traumatic memories that could scar their minds.This training plan was to rebuild Raymond's form and stance. Gandina taught him some movements, but minimally so that Raymond could master them."Use the dummy to practice the move. Continue performing it for one hundred and then do the other moves." Gandina ordered Raymond.Raymond nodded, then picked up the training sword. He then slashed a few times, his footwork included in his movement. He repeatedly performed it many, many times and then moved on to another move.Raymond continued his training until the sun was about to set. It was only by this time that he could get a rest and then prepare to return home."Sir Gandina, what happened in the investigation?" Raymond asked as he was preparing his things from the side where a slightly huge boulder was sitting.Gandina l
