《Forge of brilliant: Reformation of life in another world》 Volume 1:Prologue I''m Ken Minamoto, an overweight 31 years old middle aged man that''s been working at a convenience store. I''ve played sports like soccer in my highschool so I''m pretty athletic Well I''ve gained significant weight since dropping out of highschool And now I''ve been working as a cashier for a year now in a convenience store just to sustain myself. (¡±Curious why I''m living like this despite my age?¡±) Well it''s simple really i didn''t finished highschool because I''ve been bullied And my siblings have enough of me and kicked me out 1 year ago. Why you asked? Well it''s because I''ve been leeching off of our parents since I dropped out of highschool I''ve been living a comfortable life in my room since then. ("Ah fuck just thinking about it makes me remember that day.") I''ve been watching some Hentai and adult content while eating snacks that day. And then i suddenly i hear a bang in my door. THAD!! ¡°Hey can you at least knock i would hav-¡± I paused And then before i knew it my whole family have gathered in my room. *Tch!* I clicked my mouth annoyed (¡°Ahh it''s lucky i''m wearing my earphone and have a blanket on lol¡±) I said while grinning like an idiot to myself I quickly pulled my pants up and stand up. ¡°Hey what''s the occasion why are you all suddenly barging in my room like that is it my birthday you know i don''t like surpr-¡± I said with an arrogant tone ¡°You disgusting pig have you forgotten that we''ve given you 1 week before packing your things up¡± This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. Said my older sister with a disgusted look on her face cutting me out. ¡°Hey i thought you all are joking with it¡± ¡°You piece of shi- ¡± My younger brother mutter while preparing to charge at me. But our older brother hold him back stopping him from charging. ¡°Hey Ken we''re only doing this for you and our parents they''re getting old now they can''t sustain you forever¡± "And you spending their savings with this figurines doesn''t help either" ¡°To hell they can''t they have enough saving right mom,dad¡± I said while looking at my parents with anger in my eyes. ¡°W-we have enough to support him really he can sta-¡± ¡°STOP THAT mom and dad you both know you have enough just for you both¡± "He''s just spending your money on some useless stuff" ¡°He''s getting out of this house whether he like it or not he''s not gonna leech off of you'' two anymore¡± Said my younger brother shouting at them. And then just like that my older and younger brother dragged me out of the house. (¡°FUCK them for kicking me out of nowhere because i won''t go out and look for a job it''s like im not a part of their family for treating me like that¡±) I''ve said in my mind while scanning some items for the customers. And slam the item at the counter "Oh..." "Im so sorry" I bowed my head and apologized to the student infront of me "It''s ok" The students says and smile awkwardly and walk away ¡°What the hell is that¡± ¡°I know right ,haha¡± The students chat while leaving the convenience store (¡°I can hear you guys¡±) I smile with veins popping out of my forehead *Sigh* Later after my shift is done While walking I ponder about my life. *Sigh* (¡°I heard the old man have a heart attack i hope he''s ok¡±) (¡°My older brother is inviting me to visit but i don''t think i really want to see their faces right now and i don''t think they really want to see me either¡±) (¡°I wonder why my life is miserable like this.¡±) (¡°Ah It''s because of those fuckers in my highschool days that I''ve dropped out.¡±) ("because of one stupid action my life have been destroyed") As my mind wonder in those days I''ve notice a girl in the pedestrian lane. It''s the same girl from earlier without her friend. (¡°Of all places to use phone while walking across the pedestrian¡±) I notice a truck honking and wiggling on the road ("Is it out of control?") It''s approaching rapidly at the girl. My body move on it''s own before my mind can even think. As i my body run towards the girl and push her out of the way. ("Ah why am i always like this") ("My body always moved first before i think") My thoughts as the truck comes and sends my body flying. BOOGSH!! ("Ah.. of all times to try and be a hero..") I said in my mind as my vision started to become blurry. (¡°Ah.. I haven''t even got a proper girlfriend yet and have sex..¡±) (¡°Am i.. real-..¡±) ("Goi-..") (¡°-to di-.. virg-..¡±) ("It hurts..) Time seems to flow slowly is it because im dying? There are sound of people Are they starting to gather around me? And the sound of an ambulance in a distance. "What a disaster.." "What a mess" "Poor soul" "??????-" "(Hmm?..)" It is said that dying people have their lives flashing before their end and hear things. My highschool days starts flashing before my eyes. The day that they''ll throw cartons of milk at me And when class is over they''ll drag me into the back of the school strip my clothes Burn my body with cigarettes buds and beat me up. Leaving only after they get bored and messed me up good. And all of this because I tried to be a hero and protect the guy at my class that they''re bullying. The most idiotic or bravest thing that i did in my life. And nobody wouldn''t even do the same for me. Even my friends ignored me afraid of getting caught in the mess I''ve endured it all until one day I''ve had enough i stop coming to school and stop training soccer as well And shut myself in my parents house to run away from them. "(Ah.. what a.. life I''ve had..)" ("Oh..It''s starting to rain") Of all things to be flashing before my life ends why is it this one. Not even a happy memori-.. "????-..????-.. ????????" It''s that woman''s voice again her voice feels calming and relieving. What is she trying to say. "Sir please hang in there we''ll save-" The medics shouts as they carry my body in a stretcher "(Ah this people are so loud im dying anyways.. so.. just..shut up..)" "(Im so..)'' "(..sleepy)" As my vision slowly vanish and my ears are going deaf. My vision fades into darkness and the silence are deafening. ¡°~???????? ???? ?? ?????????? ????????~¡± Chapter 1:New beginnings As Darkness envelope everything i don''t feel anymore pain and it is as if my body is floating away somewhere. (¡°D-ark, it''s so dark i can''t see anything w-what happened? am i dead?¡±) (¡°My body i can''t feel anything¡±) (¡°T-that''s right I remember being hit by a truck while saving that girl and then everything went black.¡±) I said in a panic voice (¡°C-calm down me,I can still remember everything that happen,G-good¡±) (¡°Am i really dead? is this the after life?¡±) ¡°Aaahhh-¡± And then suddenly i heard a scream of a woman that seems in a great pain (¡°hmm what is that scream?¡±) There was silence for a minute After a minute it seems like my eyes are finally opening again after what seems an eternity of darkness And then a blinding light engulfed my eyes again, a nostalgic feeling. After opening my eyes i could see a roof that seems like it''s wooden. And a woman that seems like in her 19¡¯s she has silver white hair, a beautiful face,and a beautiful golden eyes and lastly the most important thing a massive tits. (¡°A-a boobs ,Ehem i mean a roof?) (¡°But man what weird hair colour that is even in europe there¡¯s only blond,brown and red is she an albino?¡±) (¡°Am i in a hospital?, What a weird looking one this is there no lights here¡±) (¡°Is it black out?,Why are they using a lantern¡±) The room is envelope by an orange lighting ¡°???????????? ?????? ????????????, ???????? ??????????¡± The woman said in a foreign language I can''t understand while smiling While she reach out her hands to carry me (¡°Whoa is this lady some kind of she hulk how can she easily carry an oversized man like me¡±) As she bring me closer to her face and her lips gets closer (¡°H-hey i want to experience a kiss and all but i want to do it where no one can see us there''s people here¡±) I tried to reach my hand to her face to stop her but it didn''t reach. (¡°What the hell is happening, my hands I can''t control it well a-and it''s SMALL!?!?¡±) This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. That is the moment I realised that I was reincarnated into a baby. A few moments have pass my mind is trying to put all the pieces together. (¡°Ok so i was hit by a truck everything went black and nexthing i knew i was reincarnated into a baby and it looks like im in the medieval era base on the outfits of the helper and the looks of the room, yosh wakata¡±) And while loading that info the door open. BAAM! A man rushed in He looks like he''s in his mid 20¡¯s, a deep brown hair, and a muscular and strong looking build ¡°?????? ?????????????¡± The man yells while he enters the room. (¡°Hm so this guy is my father huh looks like I''ll have good genes¡±) (¡°My past self would be jealous of this guy¡±) ¡°???? ?????? ??????????, ????????¡± The woman replies The man walks towards me and lift me up high in the ceilings and yell ¡°?????? ???????? ????????¡± As he smiles at me And so 4 months have past since that day I''ve been able to crawl now And so i use this opportunity to sneak out of my crib to find some book to learn something from this world But i always get caught by my mom ¡°Leon you naughty baby always sneaking out of your room¡± ¡°If you don''t behave properly the demons will eat you¡± She says while making a funny expression and poking my nose I''ve been able to understand their language now is it thanks that i''m a baby that im a fast learner or is it because i have a developed mind (¡°Do they believe in demon here?¡±) (¡°They must be the religious type¡±) I''ve wondered as she carries me and lay me down to my bed ¡°Do you want to hear the story of the legendary Emperor Arthur my little Leo¡± (¡°Hmm? A hero tale? Is he some kind of Hero in this world well now i''m interested¡±) ¡°Goo goo ah¡± ¡°Hmm where is it, where is it¡± She speaks out loud while searching at the shelf ¡°Found it¡± ¡°Hm what should i do, if you promise to behave ill tell you about it hehe¡± ¡°Goo ahh¡± (¡°Man not being able to speak sucks just tell it alreadyy!¡±) ¡°Well then here we go¡± Long long ago an evil apostle of the Demon gods began to search for 3 demon lords to unite the demon continent and the Dark continent to form an army capable of annihilating the Overworld and all the beings that resides within it (¡°Hmm not only believe in demonz but demon gods as well huh¡±) And under the threat of demon continent and dark continent forming an alliance to invade the overworld the gods sent an angels to bring a divine message to the Saintess Mystra and to the Emperor Arthur Sylva the first king to unite the human kingdom under one flag and the first apostle of the God of light Raphael. (¡°Oh ho this folk tale is truly interesting¡±) Following the order of the gods Arthur and Mystra try to unite the overworld human,dwarf,elf,beastfolk and the orcs form an alliance to prepare for the impending war With each race picks a God to serve and picking 2 people to receive the divine power that will be blessed by the gods (¡°There are other races in this world!?!?¡±) (¡°Am i in some kind of fantasy world?!¡±) The humans pick Raphael and have been awarded the title Champion of light the elves pick Nyx God of night and Moon and her sister Demitri God of life and earth,for the dwarves that love forging they pick Kalvis The God of Blacksmith as for the orcs and ogre They pick Vulcanus god of fire and war and Heracles God of might and power. And thus each individual thats been picked lead the frontline as the commanders/generals and thats how the legendary tale of the how the hero Arthur united the Overworld to- (¡°Man this isekai experience sure is wonderful I''d like to see it myse-¡±) My last thoughts before passing out of sleepiness. ¡°Grow strong like Arthur in the tale, My little Leon¡± She kissed my forehead and blow the candle off before exiting the room. The next day i sneaked out again well can you blame me after all i have slept through the sotry (¡°Man where is it i want to continue that story¡±) As a person who have ready over thousand of novel and light novels I''m invested in that story (¡°So I''ll find it no matter what¡±) (¡°But man this house is huge are they some kind of noble to own a house this big¡±) A hand grabbed my little body (¡°Oh¡±) ¡°What are you doing here Leon¡± He says while lifting me up in the air and bring me closer to his face (¡°Oh it''s father¡±) (¡°W-wait n-no this angle he''s gonna kiss me¡±) I tried to push his face away but I''ve failed (¡°MY FATHERR!!¡±) ¡°YA ya ah¡± (¡°To be humiliated like this¡±) As i despair after being attacked by my father We went downstairs carrying me to meet mother ¡°Dear can you hold Leon for me I''ll train outside again¡± (¡°Hmm train for what, his body? He''s pretty well built afterall maybe he don''t wanna lose it¡±) ¡°Okay¡± ¡°Ya ya ya¡± I point with my little hands outside the door to make my mother notice ¡°Hmm what is it my little leo do you want to watch dad?¡± ¡°Ah ya¡± (¡°I''m pretty curious of his workout afterall so i want to watch and try it once I''m grown¡±) Outside the mansion i see my father swinging his sword at an incredible speed at a log (¡°What is he doing is he some kind of a knight or soldier?¡±) ¡°Wah ah¡± ¡°Isn''t your dad awesome¡± ¡°O God of fire Vulcanus, Heed this foolish servant''s request and grant thee a fire that can slay the evil¡± A strong wind trash around the area You can feel the surrounding heat up (¡°W-what is happening¡±) The sword lit up with fire ¡°HAAHH¡± My father dash 40 meter in a blink of an eye and slices the Log into pieces (¡°W-woah what the heck is that¡±) ¡°Isn''t he the coolest¡± My mother said to me with a bright smile in her face (¡°So i really am in fantasy world with magic and things¡±) (¡°In this world I''ll be truly reincarnated I''ll forget about my past life and be reborn as new¡±) My face brightens with enthusiasm and excitement ¡°Dear you''ve gone overboard the backyard is a mess now you better clean it up¡± ¡°A-ah i want to showoff to leon since i motice you guys watching but got carried away haha¡± ¡°T-the maids will take care off it¡± ¡°You better clean it up¡± My mother smile but her eyes didn''t (¡°You b etter do it man im sensing some danger in her eyes¡±) ¡°Y-yes¡± (¡°No matter how strong you are you can''t win against you''re wife father¡±) My father nods and starts to clean up the place with a heavy heart (¡°This''ll be an exciting life¡±) Chapter 2 3 years have passed now since I''ve been born in this world (¡°I''ve been able to walk and speak now¡±) It makes it easy for me to wonder around the house and gather info about this world (¡°Though I''m not really the smart guy so reading all those books make my head hurt so I''ve been taking it easy¡±) There are many things I''ve discovered in this world And that is there are different ways to use powers here magic,Blessing,Dark magic. Magic is the most common ways people use here so there many who have magic but there are limits the mana pool you have is set by birth for example is if you are born as a commoner you''ll have decent mana pool And if you are a noble you''ll have a high mana pool so you can enroll in a magic academy and further enhance your knowledge,learn new skills, and such. The second is that you can use power bestow by the gods called ¡°Blessing¡± the power will depend on who you chose to serve and to be able to wield it to full power you''ll need deeper devotion that''s where my father''s power came from the god of fire Vulcanus so that''s why he can use fire. (¡°Btw our town here have the temple of Vulcanus and the order of the Crimson blade and i find out that my father is in that order¡±) This is the most difficult way to obtain power in this world but it''s the most powerful system in this world. (¡°Hmm so you''re at the top of the power chamber if you choose this one huh¡±) So basically to be able to gain this power you''ll only need to gain the favour of the gods and once you''ve obtained their power it''ll depend on you whether you devote yourself You''ll obtain more power if you do and if not well you''ll still have the power but just the weaker version (¡°Man I want this route it sounds cool, Maybe i should ask father later how to gain the favour of the gods¡±) And last the dark magic the taboo of this world only demons and the folks in the dark continent can use this power But there''s always those folks in the Ashuran Continent tempted by that power mostly the victims are commoner,peasants,slave, and outcast nobles. But in exchange of great power they''ll lose part of their humanity or parts of the body. (¡°Man that sucks are they that desperate¡±) I''ve also learned that there are 6 continents in this world The continent i lived in is called Ashuran where many races and kingdoms exists Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. The demon continent called Tartarus and the dark continent the land of hallow where the dark forces resides in So far that''s the only continent i know I''ll continue my research when i have time and studying all this makes my head hurt really ¡°Mannn reading all of this all day make my head hurt¡± I said while i toss the book in the bed (¡°Hmm but i need to study to gain some kind of advantage here so i guess i have no choice¡±) *Sigh* (¡°I''ll head outside for some air¡±) *Whoosh* *Whoosh* A sound of sword swinging echoes through the yards (¡°Hmm is it father¡±) I open the door leading outside It''s a cute girl with a silver hair ¡°Oh it''s my sister¡± (¡°She''s only about 7 years old but she''s already good at sword") ("Is she kind of genius? I''ll ask her to teach me swordplay¡±) ¡°Heyy sister¡± I jogged towards her ¡°What is it little brother¡± ¡°Can you teach that¡± (¡°I have to appeal cute for her so she teach me sword¡±) ¡°Uhh I''m not sure how i can teach you I''m not-¡± ¡°Pleasee?¡± I said appealing in a puppy eye ¡°Ehem , w-well i can teach you a thing or two¡± ¡°Thank you master¡± She blushes as she hears those words ¡°W-what M-master!?¡± ¡°Ahemm verywell let''s go my disciple¡± She run to pick up a small stick (¡°Man she''s so easy I''m worried about her in the future¡±) ¡°Here since you can''t wield a normal wooden sword yet this is a better alternative¡± I take the wooden stick in her hand ¡°Okay, where do we start master¡± ¡°First fix your grip like this and your stance should be like this¡± She instructed me while fixing my grip and posture ("Wow she''s a natural at this") ¡°And now you gotta swing like this¡± She ready her posture and *Whoosh* *Whoosh* I try to imitate the swinging but i fell down facing forward (¡°Damn, as a shut in for over a decade this is new to me¡±) "A-are you alright leon" My sister rushed to help me up (¡°But i did sports in highschool, but certainly a decade of locking in really caught up to me even in another world¡±) *Sigh* ¡°You''re footwork are wrong so that''s why you fell over you gotta do like this¡± She demonstrates the proper technique and footwork for the swinging ¡°O-okay¡± (¡°back one foot put all your weight in the front foot and swi-¡±) I fell over again (¡°Man this is harder than i thought, i just want to lay in bed and end this but that''ll just going back to the old me¡±) ¡°Okay again¡± I said while standing up A few hours later *Haah huu* *Haahh hu* Im panting like a dog (¡°My sister is a demon she''s trynna kill me¡±) (¡°W-well im overacting but she''s tireless she''s been training here since afternoon¡±) ¡°I can''t anymore older sister¡± ¡°Well that''s enough for you for now if you want to practice again I''ll be here again tomorrow¡± ¡°O-okay¡± (¡°I''ll go back after a month¡±) My thoughts while heading back inside (¡°Let''s head back to my room I''ll just read in my room until dinner¡±) An hour later It''s dinner time now ¡°Ahh father can i ask how do you gain the favour of the gods?¡± (¡°I sound like a newbie in a game asking the pro¡±) ¡°Hmm why are you interested in becoming like tour dad¡± He said while grinning ¡°H-hey you cheater you already have amy going that path¡± ¡°Well if he''s interested what can i do right son¡± Philip said while winking at me ¡°Y-yes¡± ¡°Well I''ll make it short since i¡¯m kinda tired for starters there are 12 order serving 12 different gods around the Sylvanus Empire as you already know im serving the God of fire Vulcanus the order of Crimson blade here in our town The other 11 are in a different town and cities it''s not easy to enter and serve a god you must first enter a school for knight,sword,magic and then master a skill there,master you swordsmanship or whatever weapon you use,gain a reputation and lastly go on the frontline for a year Well that''s how i gain mine i heard the others were different so I''m not really certain Still interested Leon?¡± ¡°Y-yes i am¡± I heard a sigh coming from the direction of my mother ¡°Well i can''t force him to do magic if he wants to do that¡± ¡°Hehe it''s my win, don''t worry dear we''ll just make again tonight heehe¡± He said while coming closer to our Mother he''s trynna kiss her ¡°D-dear not infront of the children¡± She says pushing him away (¡°DO IT IN PRIVATE!¡±) ¡°Opss i got carried away my bad hahaha¡± (¡°Hmm, so It''ll be a really hard path huh well im down for it it sounds cool afterall¡±) ¡°Uhm so father if i want to master swordsmanship what school should i go to?¡± ¡°Hmm Xavier Academy offer all the program so you better go there¡± ¡°Well you can''t enter till you''re 10 so forget it for now I''ll be the one train you till you can enter Xavier Academy¡± ¡°Okay¡± ¡°You''ll have a junior now Amy isn''t that good¡± ¡°Yes father I''ll be a good senior to leon¡± Her face lit up the smile on her face can''t be wipe off (¡°Wow she''s happy over as simple as that does she have a brocon complex?¡±) ¡°We''ll begin with the training next week so enjoy the moment for now leon¡± (¡°What does he mean by that am i gonna die I''m still a beginner you know¡±) I don''t know that time what kind of hellish training that''s awaiting for me All i know in that moment is that I''ll begun an isekai training so im excited.
