《World Conquering System》 Within the Family Ozwald Griffins the black sheep of the Griffins family. Born into a magus family with negative talent in all affinities, while his twin Grizwald has high talent in all affinities. It''s been five years since Oz was born and he hasn¡¯t seen either of his parents since he was born. He hasn¡¯t lived a bad life, his parents didn¡¯t spare any expense when it came to his care, they just never did it themselves. The people who took care of him most of the time where one of two people. The first an old butler named Sebastian who showed Oz some basic exercises and proper etiquette that he now practices every day near the garden. The other a young woman named Jade who taught Oz how to speak, read, write, you name it. He absorbed knowledge like a sponge, and Jade not knowing any self restraint taught him everything from every textbook she could find. Whenever he finished a textbook she would sit down with him and watch some anime. The whole time while watching it she required him to put himself in the place of the main character and then afterwards write Jade an essay about what he would do differently. This was something they had to keep secret from Sebastian. She only did it to get Oz into anime so she would have someone to talk to about it. Oz truly like watching the anime and then writing about it, because it actually helped him out. When watching a particular anime the main character had a game system window in front of them. While Oz was putting himself in the main characters shoes he suddenly saw a game system of his own. (World Conquering System 0.0.1) $@%!##!%!#%!@#!%@$... Well at least he had something, Oz was content with just this much. This was enough to make Oz to ¡®like¡¯ anime more as he started looking for something which might help with his own system. Jade was very happy that Oz seamed to enjoy anime at least, she wanted him to have a hobby like normal kids, as all he used to be interested in was getting smarter and getting stronger. One day after his daily exercises Sebastian went up to Oz and handed him a bottle of water, ¡°Hey Oz it''s official you¡¯re going to start school in six months. It''s a school with that had both magus and warrior classes in it so which do you want to attend?¡± Grabbing the water and taking a big gulp Oz replied, ¡°Thanks Sebastian, I want to attend the warrior classes since I can¡¯t be a mage.¡± ¡°Well that¡¯s your choice and I won''t stop you, just be careful you are still a member of a magus family after all.¡± Sebastian says while patting Oz¡¯s shoulder then walking off to finish his work. For the next three months Oz continued his daily routine of exercise, study, anime, and messing with his system. What Oz found out was that the it was the most incomplete, buggiest, piece of shit system ever created. During one of his study sessions with Jade Oz was getting a headache at the start of the lesson. The headache kept getting worse and worse, but he kept going. Oz felt he was clawing up a huge wall in his mind and felt that falling would lead to something worse than just a headache. His headache had reached its peak after finishing a textbook and Oz felt like his head would actually explode soon. Jade noticing he was pale and looked tired sat him down on a couch and turned on one of his ¡®favourite¡¯ animes, one with a system. Out of habit Oz put himself in the place of the main character and that¡¯s when the explosion in his head that was building up finally went off. Oz very quickly lost consciousness. The last this he saw was his system.If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. (World Conquering System 0.0.2) $@% Mana:000 !##!%! Int:10 %@$.. When he woke up Oz looked around and found himself in his room. After sighing in relief he apologized to his system as he called it useless, but it struck back with a vicious headache. Even more it finally had some stat values. Double checking what his values were Oz realized that he really couldn¡¯t be a mage as his mana was locked at zero. Seeing that his intelligence was at 10 Oz figured the it is what triggered his system to rank up so to speak. Over the next three months until he had school Oz determined to raise his other stats to rank up his system. Nothing new happened in his schedule, but Jade started to have Oz watch a little more anime and seemed to be paying closer attention to him. With only a month left to go until Oz started school, it happened again. This time during one of his daily exercises his body started to burn, and similar to his headache last time it kept getting worse until he finally got over the ¡®wall¡¯. This time when he finally came to a rest he didn¡¯t pass out, but lost all strength in his body instead. Sebastian seeing his exhausted state came over with a concerned look on his face and asked, ¡°Oz don¡¯t beat yourself up to hard you¡¯ve got school in about a month ya know. Are you okay right now?¡± After finally catching his breath Oz said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ve just passed a wall I felt in my limits and lost all my strength I should have it back after a quick rest. It happened in a similar way while studying two months ago, this should be similar.¡± Hearing what Oz said Sebastian struggled from stumbling over before asking, ¡°Oz can you tell me exactly what happened both times this happened?¡± Due to his exhausted state it took Oz a couple of minutes to tell Sebastian what had happened. While he was telling him this he also regained some strength and checked his system. (World Conquering System 0.0.4) ¡­ Mana:000 ¡­ Fatigue:092 ¡­ Int:10 ... Agi:10 ¡­ Oz was pleased with the changes after working so hard. After Oz was done explaining what happened Sebastian looked his wide smile before sighing and saying. ¡°Oz what you experienced is called the birth gates. They are the first gate in each of the five series mind, bone, muscle, speed, and will. Each one requires a good amount of talent and effort, which shows how hard you¡¯ve been pushing yourself. From what you¡¯ve explained it seems you¡¯ve opened the mind and speed birth gates. The strange part about you opening the gates is that usually a techniques is used to open them giving the user a skill related to that gate. Doing it your way is not only harder, but also doesn¡¯t give you any skills. The plus side to this is that we don¡¯t have any techniques that you can use anyways due to your negative affinity to all elements. So while you wont get any skills this is the only way you can open gates to get stronger.¡± A fire lights up in Oz¡¯s eyes are he responds in a tired yet resolute voice, ¡°That¡¯s perfect this way I can get stronger, I¡¯ll just have to focus on learning combat techniques instead of skills. Besides I think everyone relies on skills too much this way is much better. I can push my limits to open gates while perfecting and practicing new techniques.¡± Sebastian contemplated Oz¡¯s words and thought that he was actually right. Imagine if a mage spent all of his mental energy creating a new and powerful spell of his own. If the spell was above the mage¡¯s current abilities, perfecting the new spell would most certainly open the next gate. He decided that it would be best to test this theory later so he stopped and turned to Oz saying, ¡°You should rest for the rest of the day, I¡¯ll take you back to your room.¡± Using one hand Sebastian picked up Oz and carried him to his room. Oz fell asleep on the way to his room so Sebastian just laid him on his bed. A little while lated Oz felt a tingle in his mind and woke up, looking around seeing he was in his room by himself he checked the system. (World Conquering System 0.0.4) ¡­ Mana:000 ¡­ Fatigue:000 ¡­ Int:10 ... Agi:10 ¡­ Seeing his fatigue at zero Oz guesses that this is the reason he was woken up. What a nice function now he would know when he was pushing it too hard or when he was fully rested. This was the case as Oz¡¯s efficiency over the next month had increased. Sebastian chalked it up to opening his mind and speed gate both opening. Jade had chalked it up to his excitement for school. Over the month Oz had managed to increase his Int and Agi to eleven before the first day of school had finally arrived. Within the School Waking up and looking at the a mirror he has in his room, Ozwald Griffins, is currently testing out facial expressions to see what looks natural. All of them look very convincing to Ozwald, well all of them but one, his full teeth smile. Looking at his reflection he sees a young boy with dark black hair, light blue eyes, and a menacing smile. With a smile like that even a cute child would look terrifying. Sighing and deciding mentally to never show his teeth when he smiles, Ozwald finishes getting dressed and then ready for school. The school his is going to is magus and warrior family exclusive, so they actually have a uniform even for first graders like Oz. After brushing his teeth Oz ran out his door and down the halls to reach where library where Jade would be this early. Reaching the library of the house Oz walks in to find Jade using magic to clean the place up a bit. She looks his way before stopping the magic and saying, ¡°Oz good morning, your lunch for school today is on the table there.¡± She walks over and gives Oz a hug before finishing, ¡°Have fun at school and make sure to say goodbye to Sebas before you leave.¡± Oz smiles back at her, making sure not to show his teeth, before saying goodbye. ¡°Seeya later Jade, thanks for the lunch.¡± After saying that Oz ran out the library with lunch in hand and made his way to Sebastian. Seeing Oz running towards him putting his lunch in his bag Sebastian waves to the young boy before saying, ¡°Morning Oz, you all ready for school today?¡± Oz hardly containing his excitement replied with a smile, ¡°Yep I¡¯m super ready for school I¡¯ll tell you all about my first day when I get home.¡± After saying his bit Oz resumes his run out of the house. Most everyone in this house ignores the young boy so he just does the same. If not for Jade and Sebastian, Oz might not have had anyone to talk to. Making his way outside Oz recales the way to school in his head. Being a member of a high ranking magus family his house was located quite close to the school, and so it would not take Oz long to reach the school from his house. While making his way to the school Oz looked at some of the cars passing by and noticed that some of them had students being driven. To pass the time Oz started to count the number of students and also try to remember their faces. Halfway to the school at this point Oz spots another young boy wearing the same uniform as him. The boy also taking notice of Oz smiles and greets him, ¡°Hey, were going to the same school. My name is Jack I¡¯m going into the first grade today. Since we live so close to each other and both walk to school we should be friends. What grade are you going into?¡± Ozwald seeing the friendly face of this stranger was slightly stunned for a second before smiling and replying, ¡°Nice to meat you Jack. My name is Ozwald, but you can call me Oz. I¡¯m also going into the first grade and would like to be your friend.¡± This was Ozwalds first time making a friend or even talking to someone his age. He was a little nervous and also a little relieved at how easy it was to make friends. Jack puts his fist in the air and smiles widely while saying, ¡°Yes first friend get. Lets keep walking to school together from now on Oz. I have a feeling we¡¯ll be great friends, come on lets see if anyone else walked today.¡± Practically dragging Oz with him they make their way to school. Seeing how fast Oz was Jack couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Hey Oz have you opened any of the gates yet?¡± Not seeing any problem in telling his new friend the truth Oz happily replies, ¡°Yep I¡¯ve even opened two of them the mind and speed ones.¡± Jack replies with his bright green eyes practically shining, ¡°That¡¯s awesome Oz, I¡¯m close to being able to open my speed one, and I¡¯ve started preparing for the muscle one. You¡¯ve opened not only one, but two gates already you must have good talent. I¡¯ve only got average talent in wind and fire affinities.¡± Wanting to avoid the topic of affinities Oz, spotting the perfect opportunity changes topics, ¡°Hey Jack look another person is walking besides up, this time it looks like a girl.¡± Before Jack has a moment to say anymore Oz walks up to the girl before greeting her, ¡°Hey I¡¯m Oz and he¡¯s Jack, it looks like we¡¯re all walking to school. What¡¯s your name?¡± The girl, albeit shyly, managed a response, ¡°Nice to meet you Oz and Jack, my names Alice. Um.. would you like to walk together to school?¡± Jack responded in a similarly shy manner, ¡°Nice to meet you Alice, my names Jack. Um.. I would like to walk together to school with you.¡± Letting out a little chuckle that made both of them look at him Oz said, ¡°Alright then let¡¯s go to school, before we¡¯re late.¡± A bit of the tension in the air was released as they made their way to school. Alice and Jack were starting to ease up, with Oz being the head of most conversations. Alice talked about her affinity. Apparently she had average light affinity and proceeded to ask Jack and Oz about theirs. Jack happily told her which caused her to look at Oz for his response. Seeing he had no way out of it this time Oz sighed and said, ¡°Well I actually have bad affinities with all elements.¡± Alice and Jack were both surprised, Jack even more so as he said with admiration in his eyes, ¡°That makes the fact that you opened two gates even better. You must have worked really hard, I have average affinites and still haven¡¯t opened any. That¡¯s it from now on I¡¯m going to work twice as hard and catch up to you Oz.¡±Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. Alice was now stunned silent and Jack had passion in his eyes as they walked silently into the school. They followed the signs and ended up in an auditorium with a bunch of other students around. Before they had time to process what was going on a loud voice boomed within the auditorium, ¡°Now that all the students are here it¡¯s time to welcome in a new year here at our school. We¡¯ll be welcoming our first years to this school for the very first time while the fifth through sixth graders many of you have been here before¡­¡± The speech was pretty boring to Oz and he had zoned out through most of it. In fact it was hard for him to even hear it, and it seemed that he was the only one with this problem. Then it came time for the first years to head to class. The first four classes were math, english, history, and science. After the first four was lunch. The last two classes were specialised for magus or warriors and had plenty of different courses to choose from. On their way to the first class Jack asked Oz and Alice, ¡°Hey I¡¯m taking the basic warrior and the basic weapons classes for my last two how about you guys?¡± Alice chimed in, ¡°I¡¯m taking the basic magus and basic supporter classes.¡± Oz answered right after, ¡°I¡¯ll be with Jack in the basic warrior class, and in the basic martial arts class after.¡± Jack was happy that his new friend seemed to be a warrior like him only specialising in martial arts. Alice on the other hand was sad she still hadn¡¯t made friends with any other magus, she was still happy that she had found some friends however. Oz seeing her sad look said, ¡°Well although I am taking warrior classes I¡¯m from a magus family.¡± Alice realising her sad look must have been seen blushed. Jake looked at Oz with a puzzled face before saying, ¡°So Oz if your from a magus family how come you want to be a warrior?¡± Alice taking notice of that fact as well looks at Oz for answers. Giving it to their looks Oz sighs saying, ¡°Well because my talent is so low I can¡¯t learn any of my families techniques so I decided to become a warrior instead.¡± After satisfying the twos curiosity they made their way into the classroom and the first class soon started. Oz, Jack, and Alice all sat closer to the warrior side as they were all more welcomed there then the magus side. The first class was math and pretty normal. Oz knew all the questions asked so he would answer whenever he could. Every time he did answer all the kids in the magus section would give him dirty looks. Some of the warrior kids couldn¡¯t help but laugh at the sight of ¡®one of their own¡¯ beating the magus at their own game. After math was english, then history, and lastly science. The classes went pretty much the same as the first one. Oz knew most all the content and would answer questions when he could. This resulted in the magus side being split. Some simply admired his intelligence regardless of whether or not he was a warrior. Yet most didn¡¯t like this show off warrior in the slightest and would show him up if they ever got the chance. Finally came lunchtime and none of the magus went near Oz and crew, but the warriors were more than happy to. They talked for a bit and asked what classes they would all be in. They were all happy with bing in their first class. Some were even happier to learn they would be in martial arts with Oz and thought they made the right choice, even though they were the minority. They were surprised to learn that Alice was a mage, but understood why she was with the warriors after she said her second class. Most mage looked down on supporters and warriors alike so the enemy of my enemy is my friend right. Shortly after the discussion they seperated into groups to eat lunch. Most of the kids didn¡¯t pack, but Jack, Alice and Oz all did. Jack had a lunch his dad had thrown together for him. Alice had a nice looking simple lunch that she made. Lastly Oz his lunch was simple, but large, it was about three times the size of Jacks. The other two were stunned at the size of Oz¡¯s lunch, and then even more stunned when he started eating. He was fast, yet calm while eating. Deciding that it was just one of the many things that was weird about their friend, Jack and Alice started eating their lunch. After finishing lunch Jack and Oz made their way to the basic warrior class, while Alice sadly had to go to the magus class. Making their way inside the classroom they were greeted by a large indoor training room with multiple sets of training equipment lined on the side. A burly man with a large beard addresses the students in a booming voice, ¡°Hey first years, I¡¯m your teacher Mr. Bullard, and for today I¡¯m going to show you how to use the training equipment. After that just start to do whatever basic training you can. I want to get a good idea where all of you stand right about now.¡± Showing them how to use the equipment the kids went about doing some basic training. All of these kids were from warrior families and had all done at least some training before. It was obvious very quickly the ones who had trained more than others. Jack showed that he was very close to opening his speed gate like he said. Oz on the other hand was almost out of control. He wanted to try out every piece of equipment, and was not satisfied without pushing his limits on every single one. At first the teacher thought he was showing off and would quickly become tired before finishing using all the equipment. Oz would soon prove him wrong. The equipment Oz had never used was now helping him stimulate muscles he could never get on his own. He wanted to get the most out of this and he could always monitor his own fatigue so Oz was very efficient with his training. While finishing the last bit of his training all eyes were on Oz. When he was finally done Oz sat down on the ground to catch his breath when suddenly Jack laughed out from the crowd, ¡°No wonder you could get so strong Oz, if that¡¯s your basic training.¡± Realizing his mistake Oz quickly apologized to the teacher, ¡°Sorry Mr. Bullard, I was just so excited to use new equipment that I quickly went overboard.¡± Laughing it off like it was nothing Mr. Bullard said with a smile, ¡°No problem, Oz was it, your fine to do that if you want. Just sit there and rest while I help correct the other students training a little bit. I¡¯ll give you some tips and help at the start of next class, as I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll be fully recovered by the end of class.¡± The rest of the class when just like he said. Mr. Bullard helped the other students with correcting their training, while Oz rested. By the time class was over Oz had lowered his fatigue by a lot and thanks the teacher, before parting with Jake and making his way to the basic martial arts class. Walking in the classroom Oz was greeted by a similar sight the room was almost the same as the basic warrior class. The only differences were the amount and type of equipment. The equipment was also of a lower quality, but Oz not having much to reference it on was none the wiser.
