Information rushed to Raymond's head as soon as he clicked the word "Inject." It was the button for him to have the plot and learn what the destined incident was supposed to happen. And as it rushed to his mind, he was calm, sitting on his bed with no particular expression.
It was as if he was listening to music that brought a few colors to his eyes. Even with his eyes closed, he still saw plenty of dashing colors in a form called memory.The information became part of his memory, and that made Raymond accustomed to what would happen in the future. There were plenty of unwanted and crucial moments before the Awakening Ceremony, and in this chapter one covered his whole one-year training after the Awakening Ceremony as well.There was plenty of information ranging from the easiness of it all, to loving moments, problems, etc. But what was crucial was the information about things around him that he was supposed to not know before.In the political affairs that brought him difficulties, there was a thing like that in this plot. And as the injection of the plot stopped, Raymond let out a dispirited sigh."What kind of life was that? In a ratio, at least 3 happy moments out of 10 moments, and the rest are issues. Is this what the Dragon King calls challenges?"Raymond then smiled as he let go of his grip and dropped his body onto the bed."This kind of life... should I say that I will enjoy it? I didn't know what kind of life I wanted, but these memories and the will of the real Dragon King in his youth were still inside me.""I wanted to be the greatest of them all. This is what my heart shouts, and I am not against it. How should I put it? My consciousness might tell me that it is an absurd goal, but my subconsciousness longs for it."Raymond wasn't a practical person either. He was still a child with fantasies about what he wanted to happen to him. And it was undeniable that he knew that he wanted it too."This is making me excited. What could my life in this world be like with this system? Before these doom days come to me one by one, I will survive them all.---Mission #2 of Chapter One: Enjoy your youth with your friends.---"Ah... What is this? What is this supposed to mean? I have friends, but why should it be a mission for me? Oh... That is right. Maybe after our childhood, there will be a few cracks that damage our relationship." Raymond guessed.It wasn't helpful to be negative, but these negative thoughts were now all welcome for him to think since he knew that this life would have plenty of doom days. And even though he still doesn't know what will happen in the years after five, he was able to have some speculation by having the fiction tales back his speculation.If it was just for doom days, at least he had plenty of harsh endings back on Earth. Even with how he should think positively, the use of negativity was crucial for this life.But then, as he was in the midst of thinking, a sudden exclamation in his head rang. It was unbearable as it was. It was like a needle piercing through his brain.His nerves twitched as he endured all the pain without shouting. He knew there had to be something to this pain......Raymond lost his consciousness and remained laying down on his bed, sleeping peacefully for the entire day.The next day, it was like a hangover for him. His head was heavy, and it hurt like he had experienced brain trauma. But even with it, he was still okay."Just what happened to me...?" Raymond pondered, then looked around at his surroundings.If there were no changes, then why did he suddenly feel that pain? There must be changes here, even if not in the surroundings, at least internally.He let out a sigh and opened his windows. It was the morning. Did he perhaps sleep the entire day? It was obvious that he did.And then, he closed his eyes to try to remember what happened yesterday. It was as if some memories that didn't belong at the time were lingering in his mind."Right... I injected the plot. Was this all of it?"Even though he could remember it, he wasn't aware that the memories and the emotions in the plot were also injected into him. He only carried on as if it was normal; he got accustomed to it and the will of the real Dragon King had fully merged with him.There were no more questions about living a normal life. At least now he had some greed and ambition. That was what happened to him. The pain was a sign of his real self rejecting the will and emotions of the previous Dragon King.As Raymond's will was weak, the suppression ended with a short pain of an entire hour. But Raymond's endurance was only as weak as that of a normal human who had not awakened. Thus, he was weak with mental pain.Raymond filled his nose with the fresh air, feeling the breeze of the wind, which had a small chill to it. It was cool, to be precise, and his nostrils were tingling from the freshness he felt.It was an amazing experience. Furthermore, it was a life in the rural, and it was truly magnificent because of how peaceful it was."Hey, Raymond! Have you already recovered?! Come, we are going to play at the small hill!"What took Raymond's attention was the small voice of a kid who was pushing himself to shout. It was Raymond's friend, Arthur, and also one of his childhood friends.Raymond smiled and waved at his friend."Thank you for the invite, Arthur, but I still don't feel like leaving the house. Maybe tomorrow." Raymond explained to his friend. Then, Arthur nodded and waved back with a smile."See you tomorrow!"Raymond went to see his friend disappear from his sight and let out a sigh afterward. He still couldn't believe that those words were naturally leaving his mouth. This should really mean that the will of the real Dragon King has merged with his."Well, it isn't a bad thing. At least I don't feel guilty since I don't feel that I robbed this life from its real owner." Raymond mumbled, then decided to leave the window and reach the door of his room.He decided to see his family and talk with them. Even with just a small story from Earth, posing as his dream, he wanted to feel the warmth of a family once again.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 CeremonyAfter 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
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
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
