《Sent to a New World》 Prologue- the beginning The cars pass through the streets with the occasional honking occurs. The people walk by the streets while so many people talk it is impossible to understand what they are saying, a teenager complains ¡°so noisy¡± as he sighs. ¡°Man I wish my headphones would work¡±, as he looks sadly at the black overhead headphones with white laughing skulls on each side. As you look down below you would see as torn cord with its wires sticking out. ¡°what should I do?¡± he wondered, all of a sudden he heard someone call ¡°adam, over here!¡± when adam turned he saw a redhead 16 year old girl, his childhood friend christin. Christina was taller than the average 16 year old her height could rival most college students she had an athletic build and with her pretty face and happy aura that surrounded her all the time made many men fall for her. But, adam on the other hand was different he had a face that couldn¡¯t be called handsome or ugly his dull black eyes and hair made him to always merge him with the background never making him the center of attention. The only thing he considered noticeable of him was his toned body he obtained from his years of martial arts. Christina walked over to him and asked sweetly ¡°what are you doing here?¡± instead of saying anything he silently showed her the head phones. ¡°Oh, too bad¡± she said as she saw the headphones but she secretly thought ¡®finally he can get rid of those things.¡¯ she thought that those headphones were part of the reason he didn¡¯t hang out with anybody because he always had them on even he wasn¡¯t listening to anything so nobody would ever talk to him. Just as he was about to reply they heard a large screeching noise. They turned to look to see a car avoid a motorcycle that passed through a red light. As the car avoided the motorcycle, the driver of the car seemed to have lost control of it as it kept on onto the sidewalk straight towards adam and christina. As the car came barreling towards them adam was about to move out of the way when he saw christina stand there petrified like a deer in front of headlights. ¡®Damn¡¯ he thought as he remembered that christina survival instincts were virtually non-existent. In a last ditched effort he pushed christina out of the way causing the car to hit him instead of her. As his head hit the concrete sidewalk as he felt his blood flowing out of him he saw christina tear stricken face looking at him with with shock and disbelief in her eyes has he saw him slowly dying. Then suddenly his vision turned black. As Adam slowly woke up to find that he wasn¡¯t at the sidewalk or a hospital instead a white space that seemed to have nothing inside of it. As he looked around he could only think ¡®what happened?¡¯ he then remembered the accident he than began to pat himself down to check for any injuries but to not only find that he wasn¡¯t injured but also transparent. ¡®WHAT THE HELL!?!?¡¯ he screamed but no voice would come out, ¡®calm down calm down¡¯ he kept repeating repeating to himself. All of a sudden a booming voice resounded in his mind ¡®WILL YOU SHUT UP THERE IS NO REASON TO BE SO LOUD!¡¯ he cringed at the sound of the voice, as the voice spoke again in an ageless and gender less voice ¡®look up¡¯ he found a mask hovering above him. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. The mask looked as if it was made up of steel except for the black fang like decorations on the left side of it. (http://img08.deviantart.net/0284/i/2008/199/d/d/allens_mask__crown_clown_by_tali_demonic.jpg) Adam couldn¡¯t help but ask questions ¡®what are you? how can you hear me?¡¯ the voice replayed in the same ageless and gender less voice ¡®as for your second question child this place is a realm for creatures with no physical form therefore the creatures here speak with telepathy after all creatures with no physical form have no voice and those with no voice cannot speak.¡¯ the voice said in a nether superior or arrogant tone. Adam realized that this meant that he no longer had a physical form or rather he died. ¡®I died huh¡¯ he thought sadly he knew that he had already died after seeing his transparent form but still the truth hurt. ¡®so, what are you then?¡¯ adam asked he knew that he was dead but that didn¡¯t drop his curiosity about the floating mask. The mask kept silent for a while as if trying to figure out how to respond to the question ¡®people call me many things¡¯ the voice responded ¡®some people call me god others call me the devil¡¯ the voice paused for a bit then continued ¡®I haved lived since the beginning of life and I will still live until all life ceases to exist. I have no name but if you want you can call me origin¡¯. (when I write this I have no intention of insulting any religion if you are offended I am sorry) Adam was shocked by this ¡®then why am I here¡¯ he asked worried for this fate. origin paused and said ¡®being life itself is rather boring every single day being the exact same thing is annoying so I decided to make things more interesting¡¯. Adam paused ¡®interesting? how can you make things more interesting¡¯ he wondered ¡®It¡¯s very simple¡¯ origin replied ¡® there exists a planet that is very similar to your RPG¡¯s with stats, levels, skills, and the like¡¯ origin paused then continued ¡®This planet occasionally summons hero¡¯s bringing people from your world into their world. So I sometimes bring the dead from your world and reincarnate them into the other world.¡¯ ¡®What is this other world called?¡¯ Adam asked with no longer worry in his voice but excitement by the fact that he will be sent to a world he always dreamt of going to. ¡®The world is called¡¯ the ghost replied ¡®Ida.¡¯ Chapter 1 Hello everybody! First off I would like to apologize to the readers that were reading this fiction before the revamp. As you can see I am getting rid of the gender bender tag and various other thing will change as well. The reason I am doing this is because when I was writing about the MC I couldn¡¯t help but make her a bit perverted. Then it got worse and worse until the entire story was about her pervertedness with little action. So I am going to make the MC male for now and I might make him a girl again later in the story depending on how it goes. But, I won''t touch the prologue because it doesn''t involve the MC being a girl at all and I like the setup I made for the rest of the story. For future reference I won¡¯t give information about skills because I don¡¯t really see the need for them. I will just show their names, levels, and effects. So without further ado here is the new version!
Ida, an unknown world full of mystery and adventure. But, what kind of world is it? Is it a sci-fi world with spaceships and lasers or is it a fantasy world with swords and magic? What do reincarnated and summoned people get that separate them from the rest? So many questions filled my head that it seemed like they was no end to them. Hearing all of the thoughts in his head Origin sighed and said in a neutral voice that was neither fast nor slow, ¡°Calm down, I will explain everything shortly.¡± Realizing how rude I was being I quickly bowed his head and quickly apologized. Ignoring my apology Origin continued to talk, ¡°To answer your questions, Ida is what you would call a fantasy world filled with magic and weapons like swords and spears. However although it isn¡¯t close to your worlds don¡¯t think that their worlds technology is primitive at all. Over its development heroes and reincarnated people or ¡®otherworlders¡¯ have created some basic inventions from their world like soap and mirrors and introduced them to Ida¡¯s residents. Each otherworlder will have something called ¡®unique skills¡¯ since the moment they were born. Unique skills are abilities that are unique to a person and are hard to obtain by normal means. Just because otherworlders have unique skills at birth doesn¡¯t mean that the residents of Ida can¡¯t get unique skills they can obtain them. There are only a few ways of obtaining unique skills all of which I will you to discover. The number these unique skills a person holds will depend on your luck and latent talent that person has. The average person''s only have around 1 unique skill or none at all but when otherworlders are brought over to Ida they have around 3-5 unique skills which depends on how lucky that otherworlder is. Before you even ask about your unique skills you will have 5 unique skills, which means you have the highest amount of unique skills a human being can have at birth. As for the method of getting these skills there is two ways obtaining them. The first method lets you choose which skills you get but in exchange the maximum amount of unique skills you have decreases by 1. So in your case you can choose a total of 4 unique skills and while having the ability choose what those skills do. The second method is complete randomization that allows you obtain the maximum amount of unique skills but in exchange you can¡¯t choose what kind of ability you have. However as a bonus there is a chance of obtaining a unique skill that doesn''t appear in the first method. So which method do you want use?¡± Hearing everything Origin said my mind was filled with complicated thoughts. I am thankful about Ida being a fantasy world since I probably would have cried if it was a sci-fi world. I mean some sci-fi things are good but the overall genre isn¡¯t exactly my cup of tea. Thinking of everything I could do in a fantasy world I plan to live my life to the fullest! I was slightly troubled in what to do for my unique skills. After all, although I do like to play with lady luck from time to time what would happen if I got some crappy skills with no use? Oh well, I am going to get a second chance at life, might as well have some fun with it. Turning towards I spoke to Origin with a goofy grin, ¡°I choose the second one!¡± after I said this something began to appear behind him. As the object behind Origin made it¡¯s appearance I couldn¡¯t help but retort in my mind, ¡®Oh come on! Really? Is a slot machine really necessary!?¡¯ That''s right, behind Origin, the true from of every god/ demon in creation was a 5 row casino slot machine. On the 5 rows on the slot machine were different pictures that held no commonality with one another. Suddenly, the level on the side of the machine cranked down and the slots began to turn while making its little *ding* *ding* *ding* *ding* noise. For some reason I can see this being a game show with the title ¡®Get That Skill!¡¯ with an entire audience watching off stage. Unable to find the right words to retort with I choose to stay silent and wait for the slot machine to finish turning. Slowly, the slots began to stop and the machine made the usual noise it makes when somebody got a jackpot. All of a sudden a blue colored window appeared in front of me:

I stared at the window in front of me with a complicated expression on my face. I mean it''s not like I don¡¯t understand what the skills do. Fast Learner is a skill that will help with my growth. Devils Gamble is a last resort skill if I am fighting an opponent stronger than myself. Scroll Learning confuses me a little but I think it means that I can learn skills that nobody can get by normal means. God¡¯s Eye is a detection/search type skill that grows with me as I raise my level. Corpse Pillage is a skill that lets me gain extra benefits from any dead creature even if I didn¡¯t kill the creature myself. Although, looking at the skills effects I can¡¯t help but think that they are sort of weak. I mean it¡¯s not like I¡¯m not happy with the skills I got, after all they aren¡¯t focused on one aspect but spread out over several different fields. In addition I am happy that they don¡¯t make me too OP, it¡¯s not like I hate OP characters I just never saw myself as one. As I was deep thought Origin began to speak again, ¡°Now it is time for you to depart into your new world.¡± ¡®.....Ha!?!¡¯ I couldn¡¯t help scream in my mind with a ridiculous expression my face, ¡®That¡¯s it? You are just going to throw me into this world with no warning!?'' Sure, he gave me some basic information about the world¡¯s system but nothing on things like the potential monsters and other races I could meet. Ignoring my mental protests Origin¡¯s mask flashed a bright light and a dark hole appeared underneath my feet. ¡°Fucking hell! I will get back at you damn bitch.¡± I screamed at Origin as I fell down the hole. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ (for further reference sake this means a time skip/scene changes) It has been nearly an hour since Origin threw me down the hole and as of right now I am still falling. However, after being thrown away I realised that I wasn¡¯t just tossed into some bottomless abyss but I was tossed into space itself. The space I was in wasn¡¯t the bleak with place I was with Origin but rather I was inside the space I knew of with planets and stars. At least I think it was space because I was moving so fast that it all seemed like a blur to me. At first when I fell I constantly tried to stop myself to see the mystical space around me but to no avail. So I decided to spend the time to think about the time I spent with Origin. First I thought about some questions I had been holding in. LIke why did he appear to me in the form of a mask? Why does he reincarnate people, it surely can¡¯t be because he was bored can it? How come my I got so many unique skills despite the fact I was just an average high school student? As I was thinking of the many questions I had about Origin until I remembered the words I said to him as I fell. Suddenly, my face became bright red from embarrassment before using my hands to cover up my face. ¡®Uwaa!¡¯ I screamed in my mind, ¡®I can¡¯t believe I let it happen again.¡¯ For a long time I have tried to be a nice and polite person but secretly whenever I meet a person I truly despised I would tell them to screw off inside my head enough that near the end the words stop even making sense. Unfortunately, the lid I have on my emotions isn¡¯t exactly air tight and I would sometimes let my inner thoughts out whenever I was startled or in situation like with Origin and was rudely thrown away like spoiled garbage. Strangely enough after I had my little rant I would always feel better as if telling people to screw off¡­ honestly a bit therapeutic for me. But, after remembering the exact words I used during my rant I always become embarrassed and ashamed about my bad word conduct. As I was withering in my own displeasure I my body suddenly turned and sped up as if I had found my destination. In front of me I saw that I was hurdling towards a large planet. The planet wasn¡¯t that different than earth except for the land being closer together and numerous islands in the sea. I continued to fall towards the planet and finally entered the planet''s atmosphere. Upon entering this world I saw a beautiful scenery that one could never see back on earth. The land was covered in lush green grass and the largest forest I have ever seen. In the distance the sun was just rising above the mountains in the distance making the scene even more breathtaking. All of a sudden I made a sudden turn as if I was being pulled by some invisible force. By the time I slowed down I had already passed the forest and was some grasslands until I saw a town in the distance. The town was fairly small with around 50-60 houses varying from size and materials. In the center of the town was a large house that put modern mansions to shame. The house had an extremely large yard that had several smaller houses inside it that are possibly used by servants working there. I continued to fall towards the area of the mansion but I seemed to be going more towards one of the servant homes rather than the mansion itself. I continued to fall towards one of the servant homes until I was close enough to hear people''s voices before I started to slow down. I could hear the voices of a man and a woman emanating from the small house. The two of them were speaking in a language I did not understand but from their tone of voice I could hear that they were worried about something. Suddenly, my ghostly body began to distort and changed into a substance that looked similar to smoke. My smoke body entered the house through an open window. Inside the house there were 2 people were looking at a wooden box with a worried expression on their faces. Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. The man I heard speaking from outside had the appearance of some 20 year old bodybuilder with his near impossibly large muscles that looked like they were some sort of suit of armour. He had blond hair and blue eyes both of which somehow complimented his ¡®macho¡¯-type buff body that I never thought possible. The women was a beautiful girl roughly the same age as the man but a lean body with little muscle making the man''s macho body stand out even more. She had long black hair with similarly colored black eyes and an oval shaped face that reminds me of a small time celebrity I saw in a magazine once. My smoke body continued to move toward the center of the house where I could see the content of the wooden box. Inside the wooden box was a small baby that barely seemed a month old. The baby was abnormally thin, had deathly pale skin, and was struggling to breath all of which made it seem like the baby was going to die at any second. In the center of the baby¡¯s forehead was a small dot the size of a mole that was emitting a pale white light. As if drawn by the light my body moved towards it only to be sucked up by it like a vacuum. The next moment I felt like something that I haven¡¯t felt since I died, warmth. Up till now I have only felt a dark never ending cold that even the warmth of the sun couldn¡¯t heal. For some reason I can not open my eyes but right now I could care less because I could finally feel the warmth of life as if I was alive again. I was so happy that couldn¡¯t help but cry out in joy. So I opened my mouth and at the top of my voice I screamed, "Whaaaa". What? Why did I sound just like a baby just now? What¡¯s more for some reason I can¡¯t stop crying as if I lost all control of my voice. Over the sound of my baby like voice I could hear the two adults saying something in an excited and relieved tone. I opened my eyes to see the two adults looking at me with smiles on their faces. I personally thought that there smiles were a bit creepy since they were kind of invading my personal space. I reached out to push them away only to find my arms have turned into short globs of flesh. I looked down to see that it wasn¡¯t only my arms but my entire body was nothing but a glob of flesh. Only then did I realize that I was possessing the sickly looking baby¡¯s body. It was then that my life in this new world had finally begun. (I planned to stop here but I haven¡¯t reached my goal of 3,000+ words so I am going to continue onto the beginning of 2 chapter here) ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ ¡°Take this!¡± A blond haired youth shouted as he swung a wooden sword towards my face. I raised the wooden sword in my hand in hope to protect myself from the incoming sword. As the sword touched my own I felt a heavy pressure coming from the sword overcoming me. This pressure easily pushed away the wooden sword protecting my face making me take the full blunt of the damage. I made a small grunt noise as I fell to the ground as drops of my blood splattered in the air. ¡°Kuh!¡± I grunted as I was trying to hold back the tears in my eyes. Seeing me desperately holding back my tears the blond youth laughed, ¡°Hahaha! What? You gonna cry you little baby, huh? Come on, your dads a martial artist and you can¡¯t even use a sword properly? Pathetic!¡± He said in a mocking tone. Holding back my anger I stood up and bowed my head towards the youth, ¡°My apologies, young master.¡± Hearing my words the young master made a smirking noise as if he just thought of something amusing, ¡°Well if that''s the case-¡± ¡°Young lord¡± As the young master was about to continue his ridicule an old voice interrupted him. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see a pale expressionless old man dressed in black butler clothes standing relatively close distance from the two of us. Seeing the old butler the young master fumed in anger, ¡°Stay out of my way Agni! I told you to never interrupt when I am having fun.¡± Seeing his anger Agni placed his right hand above his heart and bowed slightly, ¡°My apologies young lord. However, your father has summoned you to his studies.¡± ¡°Che!¡± Hearing Agni¡¯s words the young master couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue, ¡°Fine! Take me to him.¡± Not waiting for Agni to respond the young master began to walk towards the large house in the distance. ¡°Very well,¡± Agni politely said while shooting me a sympathetic gaze and then begun to follow the young master. ¡°Little fucker,¡± I secretly muttered under my breath as they disappeared from my sight. Slowly getting up I silently walked towards the nearby well and began to clean my blood stained clothes. As I was cleaning my clothes I couldn¡¯t help but think of my life thus far. It has been 10 years since I took over the baby¡¯s body and begun to live in this new world. During these 10 years I have been able to learn the language of this world and with this new understanding I have been able to learn various things about my new life. The town I live in is called Aurora which means ¡®The Dawn¡¯, the town is called this because it is one of the furthest towns east that people have formed a settlement. Because of this the surrounding land is commonly referred as the ¡®Eastern Frontier¡¯ by the rest of the world. Unlike my previous world this world is ruled by a monarchy government making the various royal and noble families reign supreme over commoners like me. One such noble person was the young master from before, Regis Fallcure. Regis is the first son of the current reigning baron of the town Alfred Fallcure. Although, I say Alfred and his son Regis are the reigning noble family they are just members of a branch family of the Fallcure family. Despite the fact that he is a mere member of a branch family Regis had an enormous ego and views himself as the warrior with the highest leveled sword skill in the entire eastern frontier. Although Regis is an arrogant bastard his sword skills were nothing to mock about. Through diligent training Regis became one of the youngest people ever to get a skill up to level 4. In this world each skill is believed to have a total of 10 levels, 1 being the apprentice level and 10 being the level reserved for godly beings. In the entire country the people who got one of their skills up to level 7 are considered top experts of their professions while people with level 8 skills are considered the geniuses of their generation. But what about level 10 skills? Quit dreaming. People who have level 10 skills are referred to as geniuses that surpass geniuses or for lack of a better term monsters. Regis¡¯s talent doesn''t reach the level of monsters his talent is good enough for him to be considered a genius. However, that is only the case if he diligently focused on his abilities which sadly he does not. Instead, of using his free time to strengthen his skills he spends his time making my life living hell. Unlike him who has his sword skill up to level 4 my sword skill is only at level 1 which is rather normal in the eyes of society but to Regis just because my dad works for his family as a guard he expects me to be some sort of gunieses of something and mocks me constantly because of my low skill level. Why would Regis focus on making my life a living hell? Many people think that he has some hidden meaning behind it but actually there is a single simple reason that he hates me. ¡°Ren!¡± somebody screamed at me making my train of thought scatter. I turned to see a little girl around my age looking at me with an worried expression on her face. She had long sunlike blond hair that set in a twintail hairstyle and bright green eyes that made her already cute face even cuter. She wore a slightly expensive looking dress that was not the slightest bit gaudy. Seeing her I instinctively bowed slightly with my arm covering my heart. ¡°Good morning, lady Sarah.¡± I said in the most polite tone I could muster. *Hmph* I saw Sarah making a frustrated pouting face with her tiny lips pursed in a reverse V. I saw her small pale hand reach for my head with the tip of her middle finger behind her thumb. She proceed to give a light flick on the center of my forehead and proceed to scold me. ¡°Stop calling me that! Just call me Sarah.¡± She whine. Hearing her whining I couldn¡¯t help but put a wry smile on my face. Despite being Regis¡¯s sister Sarah does not care about things like lineage or social status and coupled with her adorable appearance makes her very popular with the servants and the town residents. Although she is great as a person she also the reason I get beat up by Regis all the time. For some reason Regis hates it when I talk to Sarah and constantly tries to isolate her from me as best as he can. There are many rumors as to why he is doing this most of them point to him not wanting Sarah to have a commoner like me to be her friend despite I¡¯m the only person even close to her age in the entire mansion. Or there is another rumor that says that he is secretly a possessive sis-con that wants to keep Sarah for himself. But I can¡¯t see Regis being a sis-con so I lean more towards rumor about me being a commoner. Looking back at Sarah I saw that her face paled slightly as she saw my wound that Regis inflicted on me during the spar. ¡°Are you okay? Did big brother bully you again?¡± Sarah asked me with a worried tone. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Sarah, I have the ¡®pain augmentation skill¡¯ remember?¡± I said while making a goofy smile in order to stop her from worrying. The ¡®pain augmentation¡¯ skill is one of three skills that I possess aside from my unique skills. Pain augmentation is a skill that spreads the pain inflicted by wound through the body. Now that doesn¡¯t mean that mean it decreases the amount of pain I feel, rather it spreads out the pain I feel from the wound in a larger area reducing the amount of pain I feel in a single point making it easier to deal with. It is a vile skill that can only be obtained from being constantly beaten by somebody making anybody who obtains this skill either a humongous M bastard or a weakling, making this skill the skill that I hate the most out of all the skills I have seen thus far. Sarah made a face like she didn¡¯t believe me one bit but it seems she doesn¡¯t intend to push it any further making me secretly sigh in relief. ¡°By the way Sarah, why were you looking for me?¡± I asked inquiringly It is well known that Sarah hates fighting and would always try to skip any kind of training her family set up for her making it very strange that she would come to the training grounds of her own free will. ¡°Ah! That¡¯s right!¡± Sarah exclaimed as she remembered something, ¡°I need to ask you a question.¡± I couldn¡¯t help but make a wry smile after hearing her. Although we are the same age my past life makes me far more informed about things than her making it very common for her to ask me about things before asking one of her parents. ¡°So, what do you want to know?¡± I asked "I''ll tell you later, but for now let''s play!" Sarah said while tugging my arm. "Okay, Okay." I said while laughing and followed Sarah and played with her for a while. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ After a while we were exhausted from playing and laid down on the grass and began to talk. "So Sarah, what''s this question you wanted ask me?" I asked her. ¡°Well last night I sort of had this bad dream and that made me want to sleep with mama and papa but their door was locked. I was about to knock on the door but then I heard their voices on the other side of the door. So I put my ear to the door and began to listen. The first thing I heard was papa saying to mama was something about wanting to get something started and when mama said yes it got sort of quiet for a bit. But, then there was a bunch moaning and a bunch of other weird noises that lasted for like 10 or 15 minutes. Then I heard papa asked mama if he could stick his...his¡­ummm what did he call it again?¡± Sarah put her finger in the center of her forehead and closed her eyes as if she was trying to concentrate on something. ¡°S-Sarah! You-¡± I stuttered with a ghastly white face. Even before she was halfway done I could already understand what she was talking about. Being an adolescent teenager in my past life how could I not understand the context of her story? ¡°M- mlady there is no reason for you to continue with your story.¡± I said in a polite tone to distract her from saying anything else that should not come from a child¡¯s mouth. Ignoring me she continued to find the missing word she was searching for. Suddenly, her eyes opened up with a realizing gaze coming from them. ¡°Ah! I got it. The word was ¡®dick¡¯!¡± She exclaimed as if she was somehow proud for remembering, ¡°So, Ren whats a dick?¡± At that moment I froze up like a statue. How do I explain this to her!? Chapter 2 I know that a lot of people are upset that I took down the GB tag but I couldn¡¯t find a way to put in the tag while pushing the story in the direction that I wanted it to be. There aren¡¯t any chapters in it right now because I decided to do a revamp of it but I am going to add the prologue next after this chapter so wait a bit. Sorry I am later but in all honesty I have been done with this chapter for months but when I finished this chapter for the first time I didn''t like the end result so up till today I have been deleting, adding, and revising the whole chapter. In addition before I posted this chapter I decided to do a revamp on my teaser project ¡®Tale of Alice¡¯ and decided to post the new prologue for my teaser along with this chapter. So once again I am sorry for taking so long and let''s get to the chapter!
How do I explain to a 10 year old what a dick is? Should I give her the talk about the birds and the bee¡¯s? Or should I lie and say something that has nothing to do with what an actual dick is? I continued to debate on how to tell her what a dick was and then I had an mind blowing idea that will not only solve this situation but give me a good laugh about it at the same time. Her parents! I¡¯ll just have her parents tell her about it! ¡°Say Sarah, I¡¯m sorry but I don¡¯t know what a dick is.¡± I said to her while faking ignorance ¡°You don¡¯t know? Oh well, I¡¯ll just go ask papa!¡± Sarah said as she began to run towards her house. ¡°Hold of a second, Sarah!¡± I said to her making her stop. ¡°Hm? What is it?¡± She asked ¡°Well you see even though I don¡¯t know what a dick is I am curious to find out what it is. So is it alright if I tag along with you?¡± I said with a curious expression on my face. If I don¡¯t go with her then the possibility of a misunderstanding occurring are pretty high so in order to stop this it is probably best that I go with her to prevent that from happening. ¡°Sure, I don¡¯t see the problem with that. Come on let¡¯s go!¡± She said as she grabbed my arm and took me to her house. ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ¡ñ ¡°Papa, papa!¡± (Sarah) I looked inside and thought that the room was more like a miniature library than a study. most of the walls were covered in bookshelfs leaving just enough room for the door. In the center of the room was a large desk with a large man sitting behind it reading a piece of paper he was holding in his hand. This large man was the near splitting image of Regis but significantly older and was much bulkier compared to Regis. This man was the father of both Regis and Sarah, Alfred Fallcure When Alfred saw that Sarah was the one calling out to him, his face once cold and stern face suddenly softened and he looked at her with a gaze full of love and affection. But, he saw me holding hands with Sarah he gaze turned cold as if he was staring a his daughter¡¯s new boyfriend or something. But Sarah didn¡¯t notice his gaze and continued to run playfully to Alfred¡¯s side. Sarah jumped onto Alfred¡¯s stomach and sat there as if it was her own private seating area.

After the knock a feminine voice could be heard from outside the room. ¡°Lord Fallcure may I come in?¡± (???) ¡°Come in.¡± (Alfred) The door slowly opened and a middle aged women wearing a maid uniform entered the room. Behind her was another maid holding onto a cart filled with stacks of papers. The second maid entered the room after the first one pushing the cart and setting it near the wall. ¡°Forgive my intrusion my lord but some new documents have arrived and need your approval.¡± (Maid 1) ¡°Of course, just put them on my desk for now.¡± (Alfred) ¡°¡°Of course.¡±¡± (Maid 1&2) As the 2 maids were placing the papers on Alfred¡¯s desk the middle aged maid turned to me and began to speak. ¡°Ren, what are you doing here? If you don¡¯t hurry you will be late!¡± (Maid 1) I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall behind Alfred and saw that the time was nearing 3 o''clock. ¡°Damn it! It already this late!?¡± (Me) I began to panic and began to rush out of the room. ¡°Oi, Ren!¡± (Alfred) I turn to look at Alfred who was looking at me with a slight smile on his face. ¡°When you see your parents remind them that the Awakening ceremony is tomorrow, Okay?¡± (Alfred) ¡°Of course I will lord. I¡¯m off!¡± (Ren) I said as I ran out of the room.

Aside from the so called training sessions with Reigs I don''t have any set work schedule or job that I am assigned to me so I merely help out wherever we are short staffed so work can be done on time. Today I was supposed to help my mom with her job as a chef and make dinner for Alfred and his family. Normally my mom and the other chef''s wouldn'' make dinner so early considering that it was only noon but tomorrow is the Awakening Ceremony for Sarah and me so Sarah''s family decided to have a small banquet in order to celebrate the occasion. They invited several well known officials and merchants from town to attend the banquet making the servants work overtime to make the banquet a success ********** Naturally I am too young to do actual work in the kitchen instead I do the more mediocre tasks such as setting the table, and grabbing extra ingredients from storage when needed. When I got to the kitchen a invigorating aroma entered my nose. This aroma is difficult to describe into words, the best way to describe it is multitude of delicious foods coming together to make an inviting aroma that lures in anyone that smells it. As I walked into the kitchen I looked around until I found my mom stirring a pot in the center of the room. I walked over to her and before I said anything she noticed me coming and stopped stirring. Mom was a apron over wearing her maids outfit and ?had her hair tied in a ponytail. She looked at me with her large black eyes and crouched to meet me at eye level. "Ren, where were you?"? (mom) "Sorry for being late, I lost track of time when I was playing with Sarah." (me) Seeing me apologize my mom smiled and ruffled my hair a bit. "Stop acting so polite already. I am your mother you don''t have to act so polite in front of me, loosen up a bit." (Mom) "Okay I''ll try"? (Me) Seeing me accept her request mom smiled a bit and sent me to go grab some ingredients that she was lacking. When I got back I saw another figure in the kitchen besides mom. He was rather tall with a slim build and sharp features. I remember correctly he is the head chef and mom''s boss, I think his name ran... Randy? No, Randolf?..... I don''t know his real name mainly because he prefers being called chief for some reason. "There you are boy, I just got back from looking for you!"? (Chief) When he saw me enter the room he turned gave me a slight scolding. I was about to apologize but mom spoke before I could say anything. "Chief, don''t blame Ren he was just playing with the young miss and lost track of time." (mom) Hearing mom''s explanation chiefs relaxed a bit. "Alright, considering he was with the missy I''ll let him off this time."? (Chief) "Thank you very much." (me) Hearing my reply chiefs face turned ugly. "Don''t do that polite shit in front of me. I can''t stand it."? (chief) Without waiting for me to reply chief pointed to a table with a lot of food on it. "Go grab a knife and cut up some carrots for the soup." (chief) "Eh? But chief I''m not-"? (me) "You''re not what? Old enough? Starting tomorrow you''re not going to just be a little helper but a real servant so what if you get started a day early. Just do what i say and get to work."? (chief) I nodded my head and went over to the table and began to cut while hiding the excitement building up in my body. Not because of the fact I am cooking but because of the fact that tomorrow I finally get to awaken my affinity with the elements tomorrow. That is exactly what the Awakening Ceremony is, the process of awakening one''s affinity towards mana in order to cast the power known as magic. In this world mana is an existence that resides in all living things from the birds in the sky to the worms in the ground. However, just because every creature has mana doesn''t mean that everybody has the same abilities with it. For most people can''t use their mana for anything useful, instead it merely rests within their body without any particular use. But, there are a rare few people they can use their mana and use it to manipulate the world around them in a form known as magic. These people are referred to as magicians. Under normal circumstances a person would have to wait til they were 16 to find out if they have the ability to use magic, however with the Awakening Ceremony it is different. With the Awakening Ceremony people can find out if they have talent for magic much sooner than without. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Just the thought of being able being able to cast magic made me so excited I began to tremble. However, I couldn'' be help but be a bit nervous at the aspect as well. After all, only about 2-3% of people have the ability to cast magic, the chances of me having the ability to cast magic is slim to none. The thought of this made my original excitement to into despair. So I worked in the kitchen while submerged in my own pool of despair. Naturally both Mom and Chief both noticed my despair and tried to cheer me up in their own unique way (one of which involved getting a knock on the head) but to no avail. The two could only watch me work with concerned looks on their faces. ***********(For those that don''t remember this means time skip) After I finished in the kitchen I went back to my house to get ready for the banquet. My home was a small 1 floor, 4 room, wooden house that wasn''t very pleasing to the eye. I walked to my room and opened the small closet next to my bed and grabbed a special set of clothes we were supposed to wear for the banquet. Under normal circumstances I would have worn my usual servant clothing for the event but tonight was different. For the people of this world the night before the Awakening Ceremony could be considered one of the most important days in their lives. It symbolizes their first step into adulthood from being a child. As such for the event Sarah''s family invited all the well known figures in the city and have their servants wear specially made uniforms for the occasion. These clothes looked similar to my regular ones but were of much higher quality, compared to my regular ones these were much more comfortable and pleasing to the eye. I put on the nice clothes and left my room to see a macho man with arms as thick as my thighs standing in the doorway. The man was very tall, just shy of 2 meters and was wearing gray armor with a sword by his side. He stared at me with his unkempt blond hair covering his blue eyes giving him a ''wild'' kind of atmosphere. Staring at this behemoth of a man I said the only thing I could think of. "Hey dad."? (Me) "Evnin son." (Dad) His voice was deep and rough matching his large body, he walked over to the nearest chair and sat down causing the chair to creak. "How was work?"? (Me) "Fine, there were a lot of guests I had to check in but other than that it was pretty peaceful."? (Dad) "Oh, That''s good."? (Me) He placed his sword next to him causing it to lean on the wall and he slowly took of his armour revealing a thin undershirt and pants. Unlike mom who worked in the manor, dad worked as a gatekeeper at the edge of the property keeping people out of the manor. He looked at my clothing and smiled. "Headed to the banquet?" (Dad) "*nod* Yep." (Me) "Then you better hurry up, it wouldn''t be good if you showed up later than the guests." (Dad) "Okay."? (Me) ********** (I''m going to gloss over parts of the banquet because I want to start writing the interesting parts as soon as I can) At the banquet, nearly all of the servants were there standing by the walls watching the guests arrive from the doors. Agni directed the guests to the dining room where several tables filled with food greeted them. As the guests continued to flood in I stood with the other servants next to the wall. Even if I wasn''t supposed to be working that day it doesn''t change the fact that I am still a servant so there is no way that I could mingle with the guests so I stood with the rest of the servants to avoid seeming out of place. The guests chatted with one another waiting for Alfred and his family to arrive not daring to touch the delicious food in front of them until they arrive. Most of the guests were middle aged men and women, few of which brought their children with them who were staying close to their parents or were greeting other kids in their age groups. After 10 minutes of waiting the large doors opened and Agni came into the dining room. Giving a polite bow he stepped to the side leaving the doors opened. *click**click* The sound of footsteps could be heard from the dark hallway. "Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies for the wait. I am pleased to announce the arrival of the Fallcure family!"? (Agni) *Clap**Clap**Clap* Instantly the entire room was filled with resounding claps from both the guests and the servants. Alfred walked in first wearing an old fashion black suit with a white undershirt. He was holding hands with a woman similar to his own age, her facial features made her appear to be an older version of Sarah. She was wearing a light green dress and had a small amulet resting above her chest. Her eyes carried a warm and gentle gaze that was flickering with joy as she gazed at the crowd ahead of her. She was Alfred wife and the mother of both Regis and Sarah, Elyse. Following behind them was Regis wearing a white suit with his hands behind his back carrying an air of arrogance which made me want to hurl. It appeared that the rest of the guests noticed the air he was carrying because when Regis appeared the expression on their faces were uncomfortable to look at. "We thank you all for attending this small banquet for our daughter Sarah. I am sure you all are hungry so I won''t keep you waiting any longer. Allow me to introduce you to my daughter Sarah!" (Alfred) *Clap**Clap**Clap* Another round of applause enveloped the room as Sarah appeared from the doorway. She was wearing a bright yellow dress that complemented her platinum blond hair. Her face was bright red like a tomato, when she saw all of the people looking at her and clapping her face grew a shade redder that made it look like she was about burst into flames. If one look closely enough you can see steam coming from the top of her head. Seeing her tomato like face Alfred smiled and looked at the crowd. "Now, now, to avoid my daughter passing out from embarrassment I think it''s time to get this party on the way!"? (Alfred) Alfred''s little joke earned a few laughs from the crowd, those that didn''t laugh smiled at him and Sarah which caused Sarah to feel even more embarrassment to the point she ran to her chair and sat down. If the whole night is going to be like this I think Sarah might actually burst into flames. Following her Alfred, Elyse, and Regis also sat down along with the guests and dinner went under way. One by one me and the other servants passed out the food and various drinks to everybody and when they were done a servant came and picked up the empty plate. Needless to say the banquet went without a hitch. Later on, after the banquet was done, all of the guests said their goodbyes and left. All of the servants were busy cleaning everything up I heard mom calling for me. I turned around to see mom beckoning me over to her. I walked over to her but before I could say anything she grabbed my arm and took me to another room and closed the door behind her. The room was locked tight with all the doors and windows were locked shut, the only light was from the light fireplace. Next to the fire place 3 figures could be seen. Mom went over to them still dragging me by my arm and sat me down on the nearby couch. "Ren?" (???) I heared a familiar voice call my name, I turned to see Sarah looking at me with wide eyes. I looked over and saw that the other two figures were Alfred and his wife Elyse. They were all still wearing the clothes they had worn for the banquet and were talking to each other in a hushed voice. "Lady Elyse, Lord Alfred, pardon for my tardiness but I have brought Ren just as you have asked." (mom) "No need to apologize, it was our fault for you bring your son over at such short notice. Now Sarah, Ren I am sure you both are curious why you both are here. It has to with a *ahem* certain topic that you two talked about earlier today."? (Elyse) OH GOD, please no. "During this topic Sarah asked Alfred about some information about a certain *Ahem* body part that we all believed needs some clarifications." (Elyse) Kill me now, I already went through this my last life I am NOT going through it again. But, before I could say anything Sarah did. "Are you talking about the penis thing?"? (Sarah) *Bang* Alfred who has been silent this whole time collapsed on the floor like bunch of rocks. Elyse and mom''s faces turned a shade of red, while I was speechless and could only look at Sarah in a shock. The causer of this ruckus just looked at everyone with a confused expression on her face. Ignorance is truly a bliss. "Y-yes the p-p-pe- that thing. You see you two that thing isn''t something you should converse to other people about. You see a p-penis is a part that is very important to a man, what is does is-" (Elyse) And so began the worse event to ever occur since I came to this world. Not only did they talk about, they even had little hand gestures along with them. It was one thing to be told about it by your parents, but having the talk with another family at the same time and the other kid was a girl brought to a whole new world of embarrassment. Half way through Sarah finally understood what a penis was and ran to her room and locked the door behind her. Let''s just hope tomorrow isn''t as hectic as today was.
