"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 improvement, but that didn't mean that it could be considered a hindrance to him.
Raymond thought of a light exercise to do. Perhaps a light workout, to be precise.
There were some small buckets outside their house. He was fetching water and having an idea of how to help his body, he got two buckets and filled them with water at a nearby river.
He lifted the two buckets slowly. And because his body wasn't used to the weight, he struggled with the first few lifts, but after that, his body adjusted, though it was still heavy in some ways.
This was only a warm-up, and as his body was still not that strong, he did this every day.
He would volunteer for his mother to fetch water, and after a few weeks, he got used to the feeling of lifting weights.
But of course, even though he got to lift the buckets, there was still the tiredness he could feel after lifting the buckets. It was normal that he would sometimes pant from the tiredness he could accumulate from lifting.
This wasn't enough for him. This was only for strengthening his muscles and forming them, but it was indeed not enough for him. So, every day, he runs a few hundred meters to raise his stamina.
Even at a young age, young bodies could raise their stamina through running. There were some athletes back on Earth who became athletes because of their activities when they were still kids. And one of them was running.
Just like that, Raymond would also get people's attention for the activities he did every day. Even after they played with their friends, Raymond would get himself busy working out.
In secret, inside his room, he had some huge rocks to lift for leisure time. These were working as his weights, and after a few months, Raymond formed some small visible muscles on his arm.
He knew this was promising. And accompanied by his good breathing, his meditation also yielded good results.
He raised his MP to three, and it was surprising since not everyone could get 3 MP at a young age without awakening.
Raymond could not keep his smile away from his face. It was as if he had a smug face every time he recalled the memories he had, and he could only scoff.
These days, progress was indeed okay for him. He could now lift heavy things, which kids his age could not do.
Raymond focused on doing everything after a year of training. He trained his body in every part, even his abdomen, which was now well-formed.
He was still young, but this form was already surprising. However, he was not revealing it to everyone. It would be confusing, and some eyes would fall on him. Even so, officials would try to invite him under them.
But he didn't like this. He at least needed some preparations and would only reveal his intelligence after awakening. At least in this way, if he rejected some offer, they wouldn't be offended.
Rejecting offers could be offensive. His family was just a small thing to the officials, and if he played like an important person, they would not like it.
It was normal for people to be childish and stupid with arrogance. It was for those who were drowned by greed and power. That was what Raymond was avoiding.
And in that year of training, he also didn't forget to improve his reflexes. He would stretch his body and increase his agility to allow his reflexes to work more.
Raymond practiced a few forms of martial arts from his memory. But of course, they weren't that commendable since they were only the basics, but useful in some ways.

"Speed, agility, and strength shouldn't be quantified since it is a complex topic. But what would I expect from this world? Their laws aren't that complex, and they have standards for everything. But this "null" in my intelligence..."
Raymond had been bothered by the "null" result in his intelligence stat. It might be connected to his memories. But if people see this, he won't have great options to explain it to them.
Explaining intelligence was easy, but putting the result in the profile wasn't, since people would think that it was damaged, damaged to the point that Lucas may not be able to perform magic. At least for Raymond, since he didn't show everyone that he had some abilities in performing magic.
"At least I am able to perform simple fire magic. Even though it is still lifestyle magic, it could be useful to prove that I am a talented kid. Now, I should slowly reveal some of my cards."
Raymond is now 13 years old. He should be able to surprise everyone when he shows his intelligence to people. But Lucas had an idea. At least a small one, but later on, he should hone it to his advantage.
Apart from lifestyle magic, "Ignition", Raymond had already learned how to create a small water ball. People should have Talent for performing magic since people have to awaken to open their profile.
Profiles are the blessings of the gods, and therein lie the status and talents that people can attain from being blessed. And since Raymond was unaffected by these limits, this gave him the cards to win some games.
Raymond let out a sigh, then stood up from his bed. He went out of his room and heard the news from his father, who had given him the news out of nowhere.
"Hey kiddo, we were going to practice hunting."
"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
Raymond was only waiting a few months until his 14th birthday. His family held a small celebration with his friends and some close neighbors. He was happy about it and enjoyed his birthday, as it only comes once a year.He truly loves this life. It was as if his wishes from the past were now fulfilled. Well, indeed, this life was already fulfilled since his family and friends were around him.He was never hungry for love. He was full of it and received much more than he wanted. But there was still one thing that he was happy about. This year, his stairs would be formed.He was afraid and angry because his memories showed that this family was trampled by someone who had a position in the village. However, as he had come prepared, he was dedicated to taking revenge, or it would be appropriate to call it a play.Revenge would not be funny if the other party didn't know their mistakes. And so, it would be a play since it was fated that their family was already corrupted.He didn't hate th
"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. So, knowing this much, at least, this young man came from a prosperous family.However, Rebecca doesn't care about any of it. She was so impulsiv
"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. But I can use this opportunity
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
After Sir Hones helped him, Raymond bowed down before him to show his gratitude. He then gave him a smile, and Sir Hones nodded naturally to bid him convention."Thank you very much, Sir Hones. I was having a hard time lifting it earlier, but when you helped me, I was able to easily lift it." Raymond then sincerely said.Sir Hones smiled but afterward became confused about how Raymond knew him. He then asked, "Do you know me? I don't have any recollection of meeting you in the past..."Sir Hones was awkward about it, but Raymond lifted the atmosphere, seemingly making it lighter than earlier. He pointed to Sir Hones's muscles."How would I not know you, Sir Hones? I heard that among the practical teachers and among those who do physical teaching, you are the most handsome and have the best body of them all.""Such flattery..." Sir Hones muttered, but then suddenly became serious. "I don't remember being recognized like that. Even though I liked it, I am serious. How did you know me?"
Sir Hones walked down the streets of the upper district. But walking here wasn't that easy. That was why Raymond needed his help since teachers from the academy had the right to move from the middle district to the upper district.So, Sir Hones had started looking for the person Raymond asked him to look for and get in contact with. It was one of the generals in the village and also one of the most trustworthy Raymond could think of since it was his next master after he turned 17.Well, it was indeed true that Raymond met with him after the awakening ceremony, but their real interaction happened when Raymond graduated from the academy. In this case, he searched for a new master to learn from, and this person was the one who found his real worth.From his memories, Raymond had a blurry vision of what his Talent was. But he knew that it had some real value since that person came into the picture of his memories."General McWorthy... Just how could that kid know him? Also, what does he t
