I somehow managed to bring Fay back to her senses. But she is still kinda out of it.

She is mumbling things and is looking at me like I am a demon or something.

"Fay, I want you to try and break that ice."

I point at the frozen tree. A charred tree which I froze during my cryogenic flame testing.

"Eh.. I told you that I can not use magic here."

She is still going on about that.

"You can. You just have to try. I guarantee that this planet has magic."

"If you say so?!" She gave up.

She is being very docile. None of her majesty remains. When I first met her, she was like a spoiled princess. But now she is very obedient. Was she always like this?

"Master, stop making that face." (Hazel)

"Mmm….what face?"

"You are grinning. A very evil grin master. Are you plotting something?"

Hazel is looking at me with a grimace.

"Hey now, I am not plotting anything."

I show a smile to ease her but her grimace became even worse.

To be honest, I am plotting something. Hazel has the power release and accelerated growth skill.

I have to test them as well.

Now let's focus on Fay.

(Hey System, how can she use magic?)

(You give her a bit of your

. It will convert into mana which will enable her to use magic.)

(Thank you.)

I touch Fay and give her a bit of

.

"Nghhh…" She lets out a moan. Is it painful?

"Are you okay?" I ask her because I need to know if transferring

poses any problems or not.

"No. It just felt a little warm and tingly."

Her face is kinda flushed. How warm exactly and tingly?

"Now you should be able to use magic. Use it to try and destroy that."

I point at the tree and tell her. She is looking around.

"Why do I suddenly feel magic power surging in me?" (Fay)

"No questions. Act fast." I hurry her.

She then closes her eyes. Maybe she has to focus.

"Is it gonna take time?"

I ask. But she didn't answer. I think it's better if I don't disturb her.

Hazel and Eden are standing beside me. I was focusing on Fay so I kinda forgot about them.

"Papa…" I felt a tug. Eden is tugging at my pants.

"What is it?"

"I am bored."

I understand. She is a kid after all. All of this is quite boring for her.

I pick her up on my shoulder.

I know I shouldn't do this but this should at least alleviate her boredom.

"Master, it's dangerous if you do that."

Hazel is telling me off for doing this.

But Eden is enjoying it. She is saying things like, 'so high' at stuff like that.

I am not that tall but Eden is short. So this must be pretty high for her.

We were lost in our own world when I heard System again.

(Sorry to bother your family time but that girl is done.)

I look at Fay and see that she has a fireball on her palm.

It took her a while to make that much. And, isn't the size smaller than mine?

But I have to observe.

"Go forth and bloom-Fire Lotus." She shouted that and threw the fireball.

But what is with that embarrassing name? Isn't she embarrassed when she shouts it like that?

And the fireball is quite slow. She is standing approximately 5 meters away from the tree. But it took it almost 10 seconds to reach and the area it hit didn't change.

The fireball completely disappeared without any change in ice.

Not even a single drop of water is seen. It's as if the temperature never changed.

Fay is standing there, shocked. We go near her.

"Is that all?" I ask her.

"How can that be? I hit it with a superior fire spell. And how can that ice be in one piece?"

Fay is saying that with disbelief on her face.

But superior spell? Do they have a ranking system for spells?

"Fay, hit me with that spell now."

"Are you crazy? Do you want to die? That spell can turn a human into charcoal." (Fay)

"Honestly, I don't think it's that impressive. It couldn't even melt the ice. It must be not too hot. Anyway, hit me with that. And don't shout out the name."

"Why? It's basic manners for a mage to say the name of the spell."

She is saying as if it's obvious. Is she serious? Do they seriously do that?

"Are you serious? Do you seriously tell the name of the spell?"

"Yes. Even when mages are battling, they always say the name and rank of the spell. I omitted the rank but said the name." (Fay)

"I give up. I will give you a piece of my mind later. Now hurry up. It's almost night."

She closes her eyes and focuses again. I put Eden down and tell them to stand a little away from us.

My body is still enhanced. Let's not undo the enhancements. I should be able to tell the difference with the enhancements.

I was keeping track of the time as well.

It takes her two whole minutes to throw the fireball. How can anyone fight like that?

And she didn't shout the name. Just threw it.

The ball is approaching me. Really slowly. I mean, I can just go ahead and touch the ball instead of waiting for it to hit me.

Which I did. I moved forward three steps and touched the ball with my hand.

The ball covered my hand and it disappeared. I didn't even feel the heat.

Was something there? It's not fire. It's too cold to be called fire.

"Wh...." She tried to say something but stopped midway.

She then walked to me and grabbed my hand.

She is clearly looking for the burn marks or something however there's nothing like that.

It didn't even feel hot.

"Let's go home. We can talk later."

It's almost evening. So I suggested going home first and then talking.

Hazel and Eden agreed but Fay stayed silent. I guess she will take some time. I will talk to her later.

I put Hazel on my shoulder and we start walking. Though Fay is actually just dragging her feet.

"Hazel, look after her."

"Ok."

Hazel nodded and held Fay by her arm. She isn't that wary of her now. At first those two would bicker all the time.

But now they seem to have made peace with each other. I look into the horizon and see the setting sun. It's beautiful.

Next up is Hazel' training.

    On that day everything changed. The people I knew, all died. As a matter of fact, everyone died except me.I, Clive Belmont, am the only person alive on this entire planet. I didn't get to watch the bombardment. I was mining for resources.So when I got to the surface, I was greeted with a scene that could be said hell.Scorched earth and rubbles. The city I knew was nowhere to be seen. Neither the people.I stood alone. On that pile of rubbles, I stood still, laughing.Many would say that I am abnormal. Abnormal would be kind of them. Freak, psycho, weird, inhuman, monster; I have been called all of this in just my 17 years of life.And look, everyone who called me those, died.I alone am alive. Now a certain question arises.What should I do? What do I do? Should I take revenge on those who killed everyone? Should I sulk that everyone is dead? Should I grieve their deaths?But to be honest, I am not doing any of those.Think about it, they wiped out all of humanity in just an hour

    As I walk through the destroyed city, I reminisce.The good old days. Just kidding. Life has never been kind to me. Saying that would probably get me kicked right in the face.But it is the truth. I was born in a normal household. With normal parents and a normal life.The only abnormal one was probably me. It happened when I was in grade school.One day, a molester broke in. And he literally broke in.He took our class hostage and everyone was scared. The molester was trying to scare us and was probably aiming for the girls in my class.They were too scared to move. And almost all the boys were tied up. And then he came to me.He was not too tall or big. He was small if I compare him with my father.When he crouched down to tie me up, I stabbed him in his eyes.I had a compass from my geometry box in my pocket.And I stabbed him with that. He screamed. His screaming was so loud that I even felt annoyed at him. So I took the compass and stabbed it in his crotch.He was in pain. No, he

    After camping outside for a night the next morning felt a little too refreshing.Officially a day has passed since that happened. But I feel more alive than ever.Every single day, I used to wake up, depressed and unsure of the future.I was so paranoid that I even locked my door from the inside.Because, my trust in my parents was gone. I never trusted them as they tried to poison me before. So I got myself a job in the mines.The pay was decent but was a little challenging. But then, it gave me an excuse.I used to work overtime to earn a little extra. Then, I would go and eat outside. Most of the times, I would eat outside.Even my parents were delighted to hear that. I gave up convincing them because they were plain terrified of me.Then I got the idea of moving out. Finding a new home and living alone. But fate was not too kind to me.I needed a guarantor. If I asked, my father would have become one, probably.But the problem was that no one would let me rent their place. Because

    The dog and I are currently on our way to the capital.I say that but we are walking leisurely. The dog is trotting.The day is fine. Roads are empty. No sound of vehicles but just birds chirping and flying freely. No airplanes or flying machines in the sky. It became really quiet but gave an inexplicable sense of relief.The mechanic sounds are gone. Only natural sounds are present. But my inner monologues are becoming more prevalent.I guess this is called loneliness. I am not lonely in the truest sense.But as the only human left, I seek other humans.But the way they attacked us it is impossible for any humans to be alive.I look at the dog beside me. It has brown fur and a pretty common dog like look.Just like those common house dogs the Americans play with.But it is very intelligent. It understands my speech and does everything I tell it to.Calling the dog it is very inefficient. So I stop and take a look at the dog.It also stopped and looked at me. Its eyes saying 'Do you

    Spending a night in that town was good. I was able to restock. Why the past tense?Because I have already arrived at the capital. The time skip is staple for a story. So I thought I would omit the rest of my journey.Not like anything special happened in between anyway. I just found a few dead bodies and buried. Like usual. The capital is totally a mess. Most humans lived here. So the damage is mostly visible. But fortunately, one place was unscathed.The city center. Though it's the capital, calling it the capital center was weird. So they named it city center.It was the administrative building that oversaw the capital and its inhabitants.But it was mostly automated. A highly computational A.I. program was created so that it would be automated.And not that many humans worked here. So the building is still standing.But the thing I am after is underground.The data center which stores the worlds knowledge is here.But this stuff is classified. You would ask then how do I know that

    I said make a fire but exactly how? Fire is something that burns. More scientific explanation would be combustion of an object with oxygen.It simply burns with the help of oxygen. So do I visualize oxygen?(Just visualize a fire. It's easier that way.)Thank you for the hint.I am now at the same field where I killed red.I have brought them as well. They are watching from a distance and to be safe, I have placed a barrier around them.Aegis really is handy. I visualize a fire. A normal yellow fire with partial combustion of oxygen. And it's there. On my palm is a fire. A normal fire. Yellow in color and nothing special.I feel the heat from it but it isn't burning me."Maybe I can crank up the heat." If I remember correctly, the combustion rate will also increase temperature. And hydrogen is the best fuel.I visualize a pale blue flame this time and it appeared. Normally. Is that really that easy?I feel like I cheated.(No, you didn't. Your imagination is just that much potent.)

    I am gonna skip on a few things. First up is the sauna.I did enter the sauna and I stayed well over an hour in there. I set the temperature to 50 degrees celsius. Normally it would scald a human and they would die of dehydration. But reinforced my innards and increased my endurance.So I was able to endure it for that long. I could have gone longer but I feel that would be overboard.Now the current situation is like this. I am at the sparring grounds. With Fay, Hazel and Eden.They were all using the gymnasium as they saw fit but now I need them for somethings.First up is Fay."Fay, do you use magic?""Yes, I can use magic." (Fay)"What type of magic?""I can use fire magic. I was born with fire element and I can only use fire magic." (Fay)"Born with.... Is magic dependent on your birth element?""Yes. If you are born with an element, you cannot use other elements. But if don't have an element, you can't use magic at all. It depends on your affinity." (Fay)"I see. Show me your

    Before getting to the story, I, Clive Belmont, would love to say somethings.Many people have been saying that I like animals way too much. It's not that. I just don't trust humans.Animals won't betray you at least. Not sure about cats though. And so, I would like someone I can trust. Animals fit the bill. So here we are. I think the author is kinda troubled. He is not sure how to write human females.So he is sticking to the animal theme for now. Now let's get to the story."Master, why are you sleeping while standing?" Hazel shakes me and says that. I was monologuing on my own. Can't do it with my eyes open so I closed them.But looks like it was took me too long. "Sorry about that. Let's start testing."Yes!! We are currently at a gymnasium. This town has a few gymnasiums. Some of them were destroyed in the attack. But a few survived.There were a few government owned gymnasiums around which were never opened to the public.And so close to my house that it's shocking.I found i

I have taken that out and we are currently sitting by that table.I have Hazel on my right and Fay on my left. One side is still empty because Eden is sitting on my lap.But the atmosphere is gloomy. Seriously heavy air is covering the table. Because Hazel is staring a hole right through Fay.I should do something about this. I can't eat."Hazel, there is something I need to talk to you about." I try to make my voice serious. Although it came out as normal as always."What is it, master?" She is saying that but her whole face is screaming the word annoying. She is really annoyed."What are these?" Actually, I found them this morning. Bite marks, all over my body. Like hickeys.I point at one in the neck and ask her."Oh, that's a play bite. I left it there." She is saying that like it is obvious. But it is not."Do not leave bite marks on me. Do you know, my whole bo

And my eyelids are so heavy that they aren't even moving.However there is someone sitting on my lap. I can feel the body heat. So I need to open my eyes.EYES!!! Open. With that I gather all my strength to open my eyes. The surroundings are too bright. I can't even look clearly. My eye is exposed to the sun. Where is my hand? I can't feel them. Both my left and right hands are missing.I can't feel them. And my eyes are already tearing apart. The sunshine is totally destroying my eyes. Tears are falling down my cheeks.However, something covers my eyes. Ahh!!! It feels good. At least the cruel sunshine is blocked."Papa, why are you crying? Don't cry!"Again that childish voice. And now that my eye has adapted to the light, I see a pair of hands. They are a small baby hands.Now, time to remember. Among all my partners, who could have such small hands?The only answer is Eden
