    Gods Conqueror


    Prologue


    In a normal neighborhood in a normal house there was the most abnormal old man laying on a bed; if you listened you could hear a faint wheeze as he breathed. On each side of the bed sat 2 men respectively. Though there were no tears the atmosphere was somber. As the two men looked at the old man they could tell his breathing was getting softer and softer; His eyes droopy almost fully closed. The 2 men knew these were the last moments they would see this old man alive.


    My name is Deon Ferraro I have spent my life with only 1 goal in my mind, and that was to be the strongest man in the world. As I lay here on my soon to be deathbed I rethink back to my life. I had sacrificed everything family, love, money everything people crave I willing gave away for strength. In the end I got what I wanted I even surpassed it; at my peak I was capable of dodging bullets fired from a distance of 15ft. I was capable of killing anyone with a single finger, yet with all this strength I was getting to old to use any of it. There was no immortal elixir in this mundane world I lived I could hunt for to live longer; So knowing my strength would only decrease I did what any master would do I looked for disciples to pass my knowledge onto.


    This way even if I were to die at least my accumulated knowledge would still be passed down. At least that is what I thought, as I set out to search I found to my disappointment humans where weak. In the end only 2 men could said to barely be acceptable. I wouldn''t have even choose them if they weren''t the only 2 I could find with a least that much potential. So despite not being perfect I took these 2 kids in and I taught them everything they could handle. In then end neither of these two could even learn any of my secret techniques, though they were strong enough for this world.


    Alas back to the present day of me waiting for my death to take me as a look onto these 2 boys I have raised and taught. The end is close I feel my body starting to shut down, If I were to die right now I would never have had told these boys the truth. So with that in mind I open my eyes for what is to be the last time and speak for the first time in a long time.


    "Boys of mine I have raised you from childhood to manhood, I have taught you everything you know and trained you to the best your bodies could handle. Though I love you like your where my own blood children there is something I must confess. When I was looking for people to pass my knowledge to I decided to take in a couple kids and train them from childhood like I have done. I went from orphanage to orphanage looking for people with potential to learn my arts. In the end I picked you two. Unfortunately never did I find kids that fit my requirements so I went with the best I could be. So know I tell you this as my dying words. You never could make me proud you both are weak as any other human."


    Both men¡¯s faces are in a total look of shock. They are the top martial artist alive right now and this old man says they are weak? The old man cracked a smile as he closed his eyes, he knew what these 2 are thinking. That is why they are weak they are just satisfied with their current strength they believe that this is the limit they do not even desire more strength. That is enough I thought as I closed my eyes, the people in this world are so weak let death take me away there isn''t even any excitement left in this place.

    With that thought I, Deon Ferraro closed my eyes for what is to be the last time in this life. My heart is stopping I take my last breath and everything goes black. I looked around it to dark, even if my eyes were closed there is still some light. Here light is nonexistent, as I was looking around there was a blinding flash of light and I was floating in a blue sky below me an endless sea of clouds''. Confused I look around my surrounding finding to my entertainment that I can fly, I must be an incorporeal form. As I look up I see what I can only describe as an angel; looking down at me he speaks in the most soothing voice I have ever heard.


    "Mortal that obtained strength when none was offered I commend you, and so does my master. My master is very pleased with the life you have lead and thus will fulfill and single wish of yours whatever it shall be for god can do all."


    As I sat here shocked trying to process what just happened the angel is patiently hovering above me with unreadable facial expressions. As I came back to my senses I think back to what the angel said. I get a wish, he said anything I wanted and god would grant it. I was never a religious person I believe humans should use their own strength, and work to get the job done not ask help from a god. Thus with that in mind I came up with a wish that won''t be cheating, but will help me gain more strength.


    "Angel if any single wish shall be granted I have one. I wish to be reincarnated into a word where power rules and the strong strive. I want be reborn with all my past memories in a world where handwork and training can bring one to the top of the food chain. A world of fantasy beasts and magical creatures capable of destroying cities without trying."


    With that said I stopped talking and stared at the angel hovering above me, while I wait for the reply I fly upwards towards him so I can look him straight in the eye and say.


    "Be warned though angel if your god grants this wish know I only allow myself to be the strongest. If your god is so powerful that he can grant me this wish I will keep training till my power ranks above his."


    When I finished speaking the angel looked right back at me into my eyes. His face is blank, but weirdly enough there seems to a fire burning in his eyes. After 5 minutes of this stare off for the second time the angel speaks, but this time the voice that comes out is completely different. The voice that speaks contains power his tone steady fast.


    "I hear your wish and warning, and grant upon you a second life on a world where mortals can become a king, emperor, and even a god with enough effort. In return I wish for you to keep your word gather your strength find me and show me your power!"


    As the booming voice fades out I once again am surrounded in darkness. No matter how long passes the darkness shows no sign dissipating. I just float here waiting for a voice a light something to show itself in the darkness. After what felt like an eternity a light appears. I start floating towards it, after awhile I got there and after a nasty squeezing feeling I take my first deep breath of air in what felt like eons. For the first time sense I entered the darkness again I hear a voice speaking.


    "It¡¯s a handsome baby boy madam."


    End of Prologue

 Chapter 001

    "It''s a handsome baby boy madam"


    Hearing a voice after what felt like eons in the void made the angels voice from earlier sound crude; I was so happy I started actually crying. I am an old man in spirit yet I am being held as a baby crying my eyes out. As I calm down I look around my surroundings. It seems the one holding me is a maid; my basis for this is the uniform she is wearing. As I finish looking at miss maid I looked around to see who else is around. There were 2 other figures in the room; the first figure that I am guessing is my mom sense she is on her back covered in sweat with her legs open. The other figure was what looked like a priest, I do not think this priest is my father but maybe he is here for a prayer. At least that is what I thought until the old man steps towards mother points his palms towards the figure of my mother on her back, and started chanting.


    "God of light I call upon your power to heal this women in this time of need" "Healing Hand"


    To my utter amazement mother seems to look a lot healthier her skin color is returning and her sweating seems to be slowing down.  Huh so Magic must exist, judging by that fact alone I would wager this would be what my previous world called a fantasy world.  Apparently magic uses incantations that brings the battle value of magic way down, who has time to speak during a fight. Well the god that granted my wish seemed to accept the challenge so I doubt he would put me on a world where I would be at a disadvantage. There must be ways to use it to add in swordsmanship, because no matter how interesting I am a pure swordsman in the last world and intend to be one here.


    Well with that last though I am felling really sleepy I wonder if it is this baby body. It is going to be annoying starting my training over, but at least I can use my previous knowledge to train from a young age. I must be thinking too much I cannot even keep my eyes open at this point. As my eyes close I feel a warmth I hadn''t felt earlier I crack my eyes open to see why; ah it seems my mother is now holding me. I wonder if I''ll have a father figure not that it matters much this feeling is more than enough. As I am looking at my mother she looks at me and give me the most pure hearted smile I have ever received, and speaks in her beautiful voice.


    "Sleep my son you will grow to be a fine young man"


    As soon as she said those words all the strength left my body and my eyes closed again.


    *****


    When I finally woke up after who knows how long of the best sleep I had in ages I find myself in baby crib, but to my small body feels a lot more like a baby prison. Through the bars I can see my mother sound asleep on what I can only guess is her bed. Though I once again notice the lack of a father figure, because she is alone. She is lucky I am not a normal baby or I would be waking her up right now, but since I can help it I will let her sleep as long as possible.


    *****


    It has been a few hours as I wait for mother to wake up; I have spent the majority of the time adjusting to my new body. I would like to point out how weak a baby is, I mean I couldn''t even sit up or roll over. Luckily I had enough strength to turn my head and stare at my sleeping mother; I had barely got a good look at her when I first saw at her. Now that I can take my time and look at her in detail only can I recognize the amount of beauty that she posses.


    Brown, long hair gently hangs over a strong, lived-in face. Round green eyes, set graciously within their sockets, now if you¡¯re wondering why I know her eyes color it is because though she eventually got up to feed me. To my utter dismay my mother breast fed me, though I got over it quickly when I realized I didn''t even feel anything looking at my mother. Though I wonder why she personally feed me I remember when I was first born there was a nurse.  I guess everybody has circumstance, and as her son I can only imagine Ill find out sooner or later.


    Well enough about mother, and back to me I have decided to spend most of my time in meditation. As a baby training is considered lifting my arms and legs and  I get tired easily, so I would lift my legs and arms till I couldn''t lift them anymore the I would meditate. Now this is something I only discovered in my past world when I was at my peak, but the body houses an energy that I have come to call Ki. Best way I could describe it is life force; not the kind that determines how long you live, but the type that grows with your body. As a person trains their body their cells use energy which most people will replenish with food, but I discovered if I use my Ki to re energize my cells after training my body to the limit I would gain a significant increase in physical power.


    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Back in my previous life I came up with this style of mediation, and after all my years never encountered anybody else that had knowledge of it. I must say it is all thanks to this that I was able to get to the level of power I had, and not just anybody can do it for reasons I do not know. Actually when I first started looking for a disciple I came up with a easy test to see if a person could utilize my mediation and none of them could and that was why I told my 2 sons that at my death bed. They were strong and could get stronger but never could they reach the heights I did.


    As I wake up from my meditation I notice I already almost have enough strength to sit up. The door to the rooms opens and my mother walks in walking right towards me. She then started talking to me asking me questions, but I guess all mothers ask questions like.


    "How is my handsome boy doing after his nap?"


    I would answer her if I could it''s not like I need to keep my real identity a secret to her, as it is my belief that you should be honest with someone if you expect honesty in return. I just hope she doesn''t change the way she looks at me the feeling it gives me makes me feel well good. Though when I tried speaking I obviously couldn''t form words yet with this body.


    Behind her I can see the maid I saw earlier. She seems to be in a good mood as she walks towards me to pick me up.  Then she started speaking to my mother.


    "Madam shall I take your son to see the sun while you complete your work for today"


    Mother looked at her and with a stern face said


    "Jane, You might be the head maid now, but we have been friends for as long I can remember address me by name."


    The head maid now known as Jane reaction was quite comical, her face looked like she was condemned to death; after awhile she finally spoke in a voice barely audible.


    "Mada... Ellan I am sorry, but you must understand you are an important figure to our town; while I am just a maid that has worked here a little longer than the others."


    Mother seemed to want to continue on with the conversation but it seemed she knew she could never get her best friend to understand her point of view.  With that said she got over it quickly I guess it a normal occurrence and replied to the maids question.


    "Please Jane I would be happy if you took my son for a walk make sure to keep him safe though he is my only memory I have left of him"


    When she finished speaking a hint of pain could be seen on her face, but she seems to have recovered quite quickly. I am going to guess it has something to do with this missing father figure I have yet to see; maybe he passed away. As I was thinking about all this mother turned and started walking away. When she left the maid Jane picked me and looked at me and asked.


    "Does the handsome boy want to go for a walk, and see the sun?"


    I debated what to do I could not speak yet, and it is not like I want to keep my past a secret so I did something even a baby can do and nodded my head yes. Though I say it¡¯s simple it seemed to shock her as she probably asked me without expecting a reply; I mean I am just a day old baby how could I understand her? After the shock faded she once again looked at me and asked me another question.


    "Do you understand me?"


    It was a simple question so I once again nodded yes. As soon as I nodded she ran off down the hall shouting.


    "MADAM, MADAM COME HERE QUICKLY!"

 Chapter 002

    "MADAM, MADAM COME HERE QUICKLY!"


    As soon as I had responded to the question Jane took off down the hallway after my mother, and I got to say being carried while the maid was running is rather uncomfortable. As it started to get rather painful I started crying; some might question an old man crying but it was beyond my control I guess sense I have a baby body it is only natural to cry to express discomfort. A little bit after Jane started running we arrived in front of a door that look liked it lead to an office. She imminently started knocking quite loudly on the door yelling.


    "MADAM THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE YOUNG MASTER"


    Almost immediately mother opened the door and the first thing she noticed was me crying. Now that set off her panic mode; Her face instantly changed color and she just started asking question back to back without even wafting for a reply to any of them.


    ''WHAT IS THE A MATTER? IS HE HURT? I JUST LEFT YOU TO TOGETHER HOW CAN SOMETHING HAPPEN SO FAST? DO WE NEED TO CALL FOR THE PRIEST AGAIN?!"


    Most people would be taken back by her outburst and question, but for me who grew old and died without a family it felt wonderful to have someone care for you. Jane had finally calmed down a little and she wasn''t running anymore so the pain disappeared and I stopped crying. I looked at my mother who seemed to be so worried about me and did the only thing that I knew I could do and just gave her my most innocent smile I could. Though I barely smiled in my past life this one came natural as it came from the warm feeling I got from my mother, as she saw my smile she calmed down and started questing Jane to figure out what was wrong.


    "Jane he seems fine and I just left you with him for a little bit what is wrong?"


    Jane having calmed down herself saw mother also calm herself down and after listening to her question she knew only one way to explain what was happening; so she picked me up and faced me towards mother and asked again.


    "Young master do you understand the words I am saying"


    Once again I just nodded yes to her question as I knew she had no way to explain it to my mother she need to show her. My mother face turned to one of shock, and after a little waiting she took me from Jane and helped me up then looked at me in the eyes. As she looked at me I looked back at her right into her green eyes. In them I saw confusion and awe, and to my relief I still saw the affection I had received earlier. We sat there staring into each other eyes, and after a couple minutes she finally spoke; when she spoke she continued to stare right at me and asked.


    "So you can understand me? How old are you 1 day and a half not long enough for you to absorb the knowledge, which leaves you were born with a full mind?"


    All I can do is nod yes to her question; actually I am quite amazed she put things together that fast I for one would never come to that conclusion if I were in her shoes. After I had answered she seemed to have gone into serious thought before she spoke again and asked me something I had no expected.


    "So you were born with a full mind yes, as the son I gave birth to I would still like to raise you as my child; but I understand if you want your freedom I am willing to assign someone to you till you are big enough to do things on your own. On the other hand if you''re willing that is I would like to be the one to raise you and help you grow. I shall let you choose do you want to be my son or do you want me to leave you alone; Just blink 1 for the first choice and twice for the second."


    This took me quite off guard for a couple of reasons. One she is willing to still raise me even knowing I am not normal, and not only that she is willing to assign an assistant to me if I want to live on my own. To be honest I only came to this world to gain strength, but after having experience only those couple moments filled with warmth I am willing to give a little and be raised as her son. Her love is genuine and I can still train so with that thought I blinked once.


    After I blinked she seemed to have waited to see if there was a second one coming; which of course there was not. I guess she never thought someone who was born with a full mind was not interested in being raised by a new mother because she waited a good minute before she realized there was no second blink coming. As soon as she realized I had chosen to be raised by her started crying and gave me a warm motherly hug before handing me back to the still dazed Jane and told her.


    "Jane bring my son back to his room you can get him a real bed he will be fine. As for you my son you rest I will prepare all the things needed for an education. The earlier you start learning about this world the faster you can live in it, Jane you and the others take over the business I am taking some time off to teach my son about this world. Before I forget my son we only name our children on their 10th birthday as most kids die before they reach that age; I am sorry but please put up with it till then, and I''ll let you pick your own name."


    As she finished saying everything she needed to she turned around and closed the door to her office for what I am guessing to gather material to teach. Jane still dazed just walked me to my room they had ready for when I got older in couple years. There was a king sized bed with a canopy and she just laid me in the center of it, and I must say being a baby on a king bed makes you feel tiny. With me on the bed she just left, I guess it must be too much for her to take in; huh now that I think about it mother wasn''t like that she acted like it was an everyday affair. As I lay here I realized how tired I feel must be an aftereffect of the training and all the commotion with mother I''ll take a nap till mother returns.


    *****


    When I came back from the void of dreams I was being picked up by mother I noticed in my previously empty room there are books stacked everywhere. As I finished looking at the amount of books in my room my mother asked me a question.


    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    "First do you know anything about the sundering of the world into pocket dimension for each intelligent race?"


    To be honest I had no idea what she was even talking about never mind the part about different races my previous word only had humans as an intelligent species; Never mind about the sundering of the races into pocket dimensions I mean what does that even mean. Mothers face turned serious and she started to tell me all about the past of this universe.


    "This world was created by the one true god, one so powerful he play with life for his amusement he has no name as no one has ever seen him. He created this world bigger than any other so he could add more to it than any other. On this planet there lived dragons, elves, dwarves, humans, werebeasts, and an assortment of other races and intelligent monster races. But the one-true god found lack of amusement as all the races had found a way to live in peace. Upset of the lack of entertainment the one-true god created powerful entities that the races would worship. These beings that the mortals labeled as gods were all equal in power, but each strived for more. The one true god used this against them promising power to the one that defeated the others and force the mortals to submit to their will. This started massive fights between the gods but soon they came to realize no matter how hard they tried they did not have the power to kill one another; so they choose to use the mortals to settle their fight. Each would choose a race and they would start a war between every race the race that comes out on top would be the winner and the others would submit to him.


    We mortals saw these beings as gods and they used our blind faith to start a world war with every race trying to gain total control of the others. The one true-god just watched with amusement in his eyes as millions of lives were lost; But sooner or later he knew someone would win so he intervened once again. He gave each race he considered worthy a hero. These races where us humans, the elves, dwarfs, dragons, and werebeasts. Each hero of each race was given power to rival their gods, and as the heroes started fighting in the war they soon came to realize the folly of this war. They came to learn that they were being used so the gods could gain more power. When they had learned of the gods real goal they came together to fight back against the gods. The fight between the heroes and the gods was intense; neither side could gain an advantage over the other side. Both sides realizing this all used their strongest move to wipe the other side out in 1 hit.


    As both sides met a crack appeared in the air, and that was when the sundering started. Most people refer to it as the end of the world which it was. Space was ripped apart from their intense clash of power, the world cracked and split into 5 different pieces each being sucked into its own pocket dimension. Now the universe is made up of 5 pocket dimension that house each race and one main dimension that connects the them all together. The main dimension is a pentagon with a portal to each races respective pocket dimension. Only the blood of the corresponding race can activate the portal, and anyone that tries to enter the wrong races portal will be sent into the void it is not know what happens to those that enter the void.


    Each races pocket dimension is shaped into a fitting landscape for each race.  Humans that rely on knowledge have no preference so they were giving land with forest, oceans, deserts, etc. The nature loving elves land was covered in massive forest with rivers converging and splitting up. The Dwarfs whose crafting skills are unparalleled lived in massive caves the world up-top barren and covered in snow. The werebeasts that relied on the anime instincts dimension ended up quite similar to the humans, but with many more types of biomes that were smaller so that each type of animal could kind comfort. Lastly are the most powerful being dragons, they were giving a dimension covered in mountains to high only the strongest of their race could get to the top and oceans so deep barely any living entity can get the seafloor.


    Each pocket dimension is flat at the edge of the world is complete void; they are all the same length and width, but height is different. The main dimension is vastly larger than the pocket dimensions, but it is also flat. The closer to the center of the pentagon you get the stronger monster lives there, and in the center is where the gods reside."


    She stopped, and looked at me to see if I was still listening, once she confirmed I was she continued on.


    "Each race at first were in confusion, but they soon started to settle down. At first many people were lost in the void, because they did not know how to protal work or what is past the edge of the world. As the races realized only people from the corresponding race could enter their pocket dimension each race started to flourish. Then came the wars each race wanted control over the central dimension and battle were ragged and many many lives were lost. After decades of war the central dimension became what it is today. A place only the strong can live in. It became a place where the stronger you are the closer to the center you can get, and if you gain enough strength you can even challenge the gods that reside at the center."


    As she finished saying that I could see a hint of fear, and sadness in her eyes, though I just ignore it as I am unable to determine the reason. Just as soon as it appeared it disappeared and she was back to normal and she continued on.


    "That is all I''ll teach you for today it is getting late and it is time for bed."


    With that said she brought me over to the needlessly large bed and tucked me in. I was tired anyways so I closed my eyes and entered my meditative mind set. Using this I could gather strength and still get the rest I need, with me in this stance the hours fly by till the sun comes up, and mother starts another day of teaching.

 Chapter 003

    Hey guys sorry for the delay in the chapters, recently with the snow storm and me moving I had to take stop for a couple days. Also when everything calmed down and I finished moving I reread my chapter 002 and noticed some things I wanted to change and add a little more detail so you should reread the bottom where I start describing the way the dimension are set up.


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Today is my first birthday; I have been spending my days with mother learning more about the world, and Nights in my meditative trance. I have learned that currently we are near the edge of the world in the human dimension, and mother is the ruler of the city we live in. Also I have gained enough strength to walk and talk normally. I should be able to start the more intense physical training soon.


    At the moment I am the courtyard of my family¡¯s manor, I am holding a wooden sword ready to test my body¡¯s full performance abilities. First I want to check my stamina so I do simple downwards swings over and over until I cannot swing anymore. Surprisingly I lasted 2 hours of nonstop swinging, as I sit down with my arms feeling like lead I enter my meditative trance to start replenishing my cells. I start gather the energy of the universe and focus on my arms, I can feel my muscles tense up as the cells steadily get empowered by it. I can feel my muscles getting stronger a little bit at a time. After an hour I open my eyes and see mother sitting next to me. As she notices me open my eyes she start talking.


    "My son you were not at or session today what are you doing out here?"


    I guess I forgot to tell her I was training today, now that I am old enough to start training and taking care of myself I guess I just thought I did not need to. Though that is wrong of me now that I think about it she care for me more than anyone I have ever meet, So I looked at her and replied.


    "Sorry mother, I was training now that I am able to walk and my body is more developed I need train as much as I can the strong are the only ones that are truly free and I wish to be free. I understand everything needed to be known to live here and you even taught me the main language of each race so I thought I knew enough."


    Mother looked at me as I finished saying that with sadness in her eyes and replied


    "My son you are so young you are not thinking of leaving here already are you?"


    I knew what she was concerned about, and I did not want to worry her so I told her


    "Mother I do not plan to leave I still have to grow this body into something more, and I have no desire to leave your side at the moment it''s just I won''t be studying as much because I need to train. Mother while we are out here we should put everything into the open, you never said anything about my father and I have not said why I have the mind of a full grown man."


    I could tell she really did not want to talk about father, but I wanted to hear it also I think it''s time I told her everything also so before she could change the subject or walk away I told her.


    "Mother you might be curious as to why I have a mind of a full grown man that is because I am not from this world; I died in a world very different form this a world without magic, gods or even any other race besides humans. On my world humanity advanced in the fields of science; with the advance of science humans stopped training to train their body past their limits and started to use science to get stronger. In this world I guess you could call me the odd one, because sense I was born in that place I always trained my body and through the years I attained strength most thought impossible. Eventually I got to old and was bedridden and soon died of old age but after I closed my eyes in that body for the first time I woke up in a baby''s body as to why this happened I will keep it between me and the one involved if you could leave it at that please."


    This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    As I finished telling my tale she just stared at me blankly, whether it was because of what I told her or she realized she could run away from telling me about my father. Eventually, but rather reluctantly she spoke.


    "Your father was a gentleman, kind and loved by many of the people in the city. Sadly the world isn''t always as nice, people are greedy for power so as he was the ruler of the city he was involved in a lot of life and death situations. They finally got to him in there last attempt and he passed away and I took over the office. I am sorry, but it was rather recent and I am still in a lot of pain."


    As she was speaking I could feel her anger boiling over, she wanted revenge I could tell but she had me so she had no choice so I offered.


    "Mother I can tell you want revenge, but at the moment I am not strong enough if you give me some time I can handle the situation for you it is the least I can do for treating me so kindly without knowing why I was such a freak"


    When I said that she turned and gave me a loving embrace and said


    "You are no freak , a mother''s love for her child cannot be broken so easily; Also as your mother I will not ask you to seek vengeance , but I will not stop you my son."


    My mother really is a special women even if she says a mother¡¯s love cannot be broken that easily I know most would at least look at me differently if they knew. Yet she is still filled with parental love that carries a sun worth of warmth. Now with everything out in the open I only need to focus on getting back to my previous strength and light years past it I need the strength to be unopposed, so I engage out of her embrace and tell her.


    "Mother I am glad we got this out in the open, but I still need to gain my strength back so I am going to continue my training if you find something you think I need to know I can make some time so you can teach me I love you mother."


    I stood up and walked back to field where I started my next phase of testing my body; I need to see how fast, flexible, and all around momentum this body can do at the moment. So going through my memories of my self-made style I remembered a good style to test myself with and started moving. From the perspectives of anyone that watched it looked quite similar to a dance, yet the feeling it gave off is anything but gentle. This is a form I call still waters when I use this I use my bodies flexibility and speed to avoid enemies attacks and always stay 1 step ahead. This form is great to fight multiple enemies at the same time. As I finished the dance I wipe the sweat off my face and notice mother watching me off the side. I give her a gentle smile before I sit down and once again enter my meditative position; Closing my eyes I start absorbing energy into my cells while I go over my bodies capabilities thus far. It seems I have been blessed with a superior body structure than my last one. The potential I can feel is multiple times what I had in my last life.


    As I finish restoring my energy and empowering my cells I notice the sun is setting, so I stood up and head towards the manor for a good nights rest.

 Chapter 004

    I was sitting in the courtyard after a morning of intense muscle training in my meditation position; as became my schedule over the years. After I finish my meditation I would go meet with mother for class, which is when she would teach me everything she knew like running a town, the layout of the human dimension, or even plain mathematics and economics. I am not proud to admit this, but in my previous world as I was focused on gathering strength I did slack on the intellectual side of things. Learning with mother I find that I like the mental challenge solving the problems gives me almost, but not quite as much as the feeling of breaking through a physical barrier and feeling newfound strength.


    As I finish today''s meditation I smile with satisfaction; I have spent the last 6 years and a half non-stop training I have not even ventured out of the manor, and today I feel I have made a breakthrough in my training. Now even though this body is that of a 7 and a half year old I probably have the strength of a full grown man. Actually I probably have the strength of a little above average grown man; testing my strength after today''s breakthrough my arm strength seems to be around 75 kg. I finish testing myself and head towards the manor to clean myself up and find mother to see if there will be any lessons today. As I near the manor I see an unusual carriage outside the manor.


    I arrive inside the manor to find a bunch of nobles they resemble pigs; their fat, thick necked, and stink of body odor. Mother is greeting them with smile on her face, but I can easily see through it. She seems really rather than unhappy I would say angry about these people being here. Feelings of disgust overwhelm me as I walk over to stand besides mother, and doing my best to not lash out at these disgusting pigs before me.


    As I arrive on the side of mother the pigs look at me in what felt like a very disgusting way. The pig speaks as he looks back at mother.


    "Miss Ellan who is this handsome young man, is he perhaps for sale?"


    Luckily before I react mother answers with a sharp tone in her voice.


    "Mr. Mallor this is my son and he is not and will never be for sale"


    The pig looked disappointed and seemed like he did not want to give up that easily, before he could retort though I spoke up in a tone that held no room for retorts.


    "If you will excuse me I have some important matters I need to speak to my mother about, if you could give us a few minutes."


    Having said that I grabbed mothers hand and pulled her off to a side room so I could get some answers. Once we were inside the room I shut the door behind us and lead mother to a seat and then take my own. Looking at mother the first thing I asked is the most simple question.


    "Mother who are those noble pigs, just looking at them disgusts me never mind the way that man you called Mallor looked at me?"


    My disgust was clearly visible on my face, and though mother tried to hide it she had the same look though I doubt many could see through her mask but me. Mother stared at me and with a tear down her face and anger now in her eyes replied


    "The one in front that was speaking as you heard is called Pritchard Mallor the one on his right is his right hand man and left his left hand man. They are the ones that organized your father¡¯s ultimate death, and they came here because they want me to be their slave. Their positions are high as they took your father¡¯s influence with his downfall. "


    Hearing mothers words and combined with the few images I have of the pigs added with the pain my mother is holding in is really close to pushing me past the limit. While looking at mothers tears I can feel my fist subconsciously forming and my nails start cutting into my palm blood trickles down my hand. Suppressing my anger I inquire to mother in a voice that has no feeling in it hate nor love anger nor happiness.


    "Mother shall I kill them all?"


    As if my words where a bolt of lightning that struck her mother¡¯s eyes snap open her body shakes and she stares at me before responding.


    "I know you are the reincarnation of a powerful person, but right now you only have the body of a 7 year old how can you kill? Even if those nobles are weak and somehow you kill them there guards will come and what then? Even though I am called the ruler of this city I am only a figurehead used to deal with paper work. This manor is like my jail I work here sleep here eat here, but may never leave; the nobles took all yours father power his guards and left me to take over the desk work."


    I could see mother was about to start crying, and that was not absolutely acceptable. So I raised my fist and looked at mother and said


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.


    "Mother I can handle trash easily they are normal humans."


    With that said and mother looking at me I brought my arm down with all my muscles tightening up I bring my fist smashing into the table with all the force I can use. The tables instantly cracks and splinters everywhere as I get up and walk over to the door leaving a few comforting words for mother.


    "No one is allowed to hurt mother without receiving my judgment stay here for me please."


    I open the door to where the nobles are waiting. As I walk out I notice they are looking towards me well they were looking at the room we were in probably wondering what the bang was. Without even the slightest bit of hesitation I start walking towards the pigs ignoring the disgusting look they keep sending me. As I get to the area where mother and I were previously stand the head pig speaks up.


    "Who do you think you are to make me wait for so long standing here? Do you want me to destroy you like I did your father peon?!"


    Ignoring the pigs oinking I continue walking forwards I turn towards the pig on his right. When I am arm distance away I stop walking and stood still. I started gathering the energy of the universe and focus it to my hand using a simple and very effective ability. While I was doing this the pig turned and looking down on me said.


    "Who do you think you are to come so close to me you peon I am only here to get your mother as I need a new toy, but maybe I''ll take you. "


    He was too busy talking and did not notice my hand change shape. When I focus the energy of the universe in my hand I can change it into a claw like appendage; my nails grow and sharpen my hand as a whole becomes harder. The more energy I channel the harder it gets, but at the moment I only made it as hard as iron as it was good enough and I did not want to listen to this pig any longer. As he was in mid-sentence I swiped at the neck of the rightmost pig. Instantly blood gushes out. I rapidly move to my left to avoid the blood and also to make a swipe at the leftmost pig. As his blood started gushing out also I back up and stand in the spot I was before with mother. I stared at the pig waiting for him to speak, and after long while has passed and I mean a good 10 minutes as my body''s internal clock can be trusted he starts turning ready to make an escape not even saying anything.


    Of course I was not going to let him get away so faster than he can see I appeared behind him and slice behind his kneecap causing him to fall and roll on the ground like a pig should. I calmly walk in front of him where he finally landed and stopped rolling. I crouch down and looked at him the same way I felt about him. As he regained focus and saw the way I looked at him rage and what I would guess to be indignation would be what he is feeling. He spoke with slobber coming down his chin and spit fling out his mouth.


    "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO DO THIS TO ME I AM A NOBLE I AM BETTER THAN YOU WHAT IS WITH THAT WAY YOU LOOK AT ME YOU CUR, I''LL RAPE YOUR MOTHER WHILE YOU WATCH AND THEN YOU TILL YOU MIND BREAKS THEN ILL KILL YO..."


    Using my claw I cut his tongue out as he is speaking, I really did not want to hear him anymore. He starts rolling around blood oozing out of his mouth. I simply smile as I watch the pig roll in his blood mixed with his pig friends. It is refreshing to me to torture the one that has caused all the pain in my mother''s life. When he finally stops I walk over to him and simply say.


    "Pigs should just be still and be butchered. You have caused mother pain, and I will not let that go unpunished. Your sentence is death, but not before pain."


    With that stated I start making cuts across his body not too deep, but just deep enough that he can feel it. When his whole and there is a lot of it body is covered in cuts I started walking towards the kitchen. I did not think this is enough, he took away mother¡¯s lover my father wanted to use her to relieve himself, and had the audacity to look down on me when he is so weak. As I get into the kitchen I notice a few maids and the head main Jane in there.


    They were in the back of the kitchen huddled together, and when I arrived Jane came running up to me tears in her eyes. She started asking questions in a hysteric fashion that I could not understand. I was in a rush so I simply commanded her.


    "Jane go to mother in the waiting room use the back door you do not want to go into the entrance hall at the moment."


    Without giving her a second look I go to the spice storage and pick up some salt. On the way out I stop at the furnace and take the metal fire poker that was lying in it. With thoughts this should be fun I head back towards the pig.

 Chapter 005

    Hello the author here, was wondering if anyone has any good names they want to throw at me to add to the story. My naming sense sucks so even if it is the type of character that isn''t added I might use it in the future. Also I need better names for his moves typing universe energy every time is annoying. Just leave it in the comments I read them all anyways.


    *************************************************************************************


    With the salt in one hand and the red hot rod in my other I walked over to where the pig was laying down. He was still alive as I could tell with the rise and fall of his chest, but it seems to be getting slower and the pig also seems to have passed out. I stop the bleeding with some basic pressure points and use the iron rode to burn his tongue so he doesn''t drown in his own blood. As I was finishing up Cauterizing his tongue he woke up and started screaming. I simply kicked him in his fat gut to make him stop. I take the salt and without mercy dump it''s all over his body, as I finish I toss the bag off to the side as he started convulsing.


    Looking down upon him the man, no not man pig slowing and painfully dying at my feet I found myself wearing a smile. I never really was an aggressive person in my past unless I was provoked, but now that I have mother to care for it seems her pain can bring my rage and wrath. This pig had been causing the nightmares that haunt my mother and now he was slowing and painfully dying at my feet. His breathing slows and slows until finally he lies there dead. I did not want mother to see this so I walk towards the doors and open them; then I walk towards the closet body and kick it until it¡¯s at the doors. Once he is outside the doors I lift my leg and straining all my muscles I use all the force I can muster in my leg and punt the body outside the manor. My arm strength might not have been enough to pull of this feat but thankfully my legs are around double the strength. I repeat this process with the other 2 bodies and continue to clean the blood until it looks as clean as when I first walked in.


    With that done I go back towards the room where mother is waiting with Jane. As I enter the room I notice Jane is sitting besides mother both holding each other. As they see me enter I can tell mother was very worried about me, seeing the look in her eyes I simply smiled and said in a tone that was reassuring.


    "Mother they cannot harm you anymore, and do not worry as my most loved one I will protect you against all who wish you harm."


    I smile as I finish speaking and go sit on the couch opposite of theirs, it also seems like Jane cleaned up the broken table because I do not see any wood shards anywhere. Jane looks at me in an expression that shows she is scared, and mother gives me her warm smile and says.


    "My son what happened to them? What about the repercussions''?"


    I wanted to quell her worries as fast as possible so that she can finally have her life back; so I reassured her with my words.


    "Mother there is no longer a way for them to hurt you for they are no longer of this world, I made sure the man that caused your nightmares tasted at least a small fraction of the pain you had to endure. As for the repercussions I just wanted to make sure you are well I will wait in the hall for anyone that comes you and Jane should go relax maybe take a bath? After today you will no longer be the figurehead, but the actual leader of this city so there will probably be a lot of work after today."


    I finish speaking and get up I know their bodies will be found soon, it''s not like they walked her they probably have guards on standby at the carriage that brought them. Without waiting for mother to reply I walked out the room closing the door behind me. For good measure I broke off the handle, there is a door that leads to servant halls they can take. I walked to the front door and walked outside, outside I could see 5 men rushing towards the manor rage covered their faces. From what mother has taught me on the resources available in this word their gear seems mediocre. They are wearing what looks like iron chainmail, leather pants and a simple iron barbute helmet. There vitals are not even being protected as they get within range of my dashing technique I start leaning forwards letting gravity push me downwards as my face gets closer to the ground I use my leg muscles to launch myself and added with the gravity faster than they can see I appear in front of the guard in front.

    First thing I do is use the focus technique and form my hand claw, and slash the neck of the guard closest to me. Before any of them can recover I drew the sword of the guards I had just killed and waited for them to come out of their stupor.  I waited for them to surround me, and as they did they slowly came forwards together. They probably thought surrounding me was an advantage, but this is what I wanted and as they got within range of my sword I jumped. Using my perfect body control I spun in a circle in midair with my sword out finishing all 4 at the same time with a sliced neck. As I landed back on the ground they had already fallen over dead.


    Without a second glance I walked to where the guards came from, in the manor driveway was a lavish carriage, and old man sitting in the front. Ignoring the old man''s stares as there was a little blood on my outfit I got inside the carriage, and gave him an order.


    "Bring me to the Mallor residence, any resistance is equal to your death; do you really want to die for an already dead man?"


    Sadly the old man was not the understanding and started asking questions.


    "Child what do you mean a dead man and what is that blood on your outfit. Who do you think you are to order me I am Lord Mallor¡¯s personal coach driver?"


    I really am getting annoyed on how people with authority and no power look down on others for no reason thinking they are great. So I put my sharp nails to his throat and said in the most menacing tone I could.


    "This blood is your masters combined with those guards that is why I said dead man. As to whom I am you should know after all you killed my father and came here to take my mother as a toy. Now bring me to the pig¡¯s residence or die a fruitless death for I will get there either way."


    The effect was instant as he started to get the horse going and the carriage going forwards. I sat back down in the overly lavish carriage and stared out the window. This was going to be my first time leaving the manor, and my reason for leaving is to shed blood. With a sigh I let go of that notion this was to make mother live a good life.


    As we drew farther from the manor I had my first glimpse of the outside world: an active medieval looking city filled with people bartering for food, wooden shops for potions, and blacksmiths shops with smoke billowing out of the chimney. The roads are compressed dirt and stones, very basic technology; from what mother said instead of technology people here focused on magic advancements. I had no interest in magic I prefer to train my body and use the energy of the universe.


    I noticed people stopping and bowing their heads towards the carriage as we pass. They cannot see who is in it so I guess that is to be expected I am pretty sure the nobles were the ones controlling this city. After about a 30 minute ride we pull up to a huge metal gate and the driver and the guard exchange a few words before the gates open and we pull up to what looks like a miniature castle. I have no worry about the driver telling the guards anything for I do not fear the guards. Mother said the closer to the center of the main dimension we got the stronger people are. This city is on the outskirts of the human dimension so that means it is filled with the weak. Hopping out of the carriage everybody gives me a look of confusion on why a child covered in blood is getting out of their lords carriage, and not the lord. I just gave an emotionless smile after saying in a voice without emotion.


    "Let the slaughter begin."

 Chapter 006

    Hey guys, me again.


    Wanted to let you know I wanted to start changing the way I release and the words per chapter per release. I plan to release regularly on Saturdays unless something unexpected pops up than without doubt it should be released Sunday. As for the chapter length I am going to write as much as I can per chapter as I feel they are too short for weekly releases. Thanks for reading and if you have any comments, concerns, or input about the story leave them in a comment below I read them all.

    "Let the slaughter begin."


    Looking around I see a number of guards reaching for their sword; the maids seeing a fight was coming started to run away. I did not care for the servants only the guards, as they started approaching me slowly I transformed both my hands this time since there are more guards. The guards seeing my hands morph had looks of shock, and before they could recover I once again used my gravity rush ability and faster than they could see appeared in front of them.


    Using both my transformed hands I quickly, and without mercy cut the throats of the first 2 nearest guards. No bothering to wait for them to collapse I quickly move onto the next kill. In total there was probably around 25 guards none of which put of any sort of fight as I was too fast and efficient with my movements for them to stop me. As I had finished the last one a skinny man walked out of the mini-castle; in his hands was what looked like a large walking stick with an orb atop it. He was using it to walk as he looked around at the dead guards then at me with their blood on my clothes. His eyes flashed with a cold light.


    He raised his staff pointing it at me with his lips moving very slightly, and as his lips stopped the orb on top his staff flared with a red light and a burst of fire was sent flying at me. I was a little surprised as this was the first time I have seen magic. I was curious about it strength and weakness, and the most efficient way I could think of to get the information would be the mage that shot the fireball. So I changed my mindset from kill to capture.


    The old man though a mage seems to be physically weak, so without even using gravity rush I dashed forwards. As I got within 2 meters out of nowhere a wall of fire came into existence causing me to have to come to a dead stop or be burnt. I could not see the old man through the fire so I had no idea what he was up to. After a quick few seconds of thinking I decided to run right, and I dashed out at full speed still not using gravity rush, but this time I did not because gravity rush is only good for straight charges with no turns. But as I took a few steps from behind the wall again a fireball was instantly shot brushing past igniting a small part of my clothes which I ignored and swiftly back away from the old man.


    As I got more than 3 meters away the wall of fire dispersed leaving the ground scorched black. For the first time in countless years someone almost landed a hit on me. I would even say he did land a hit as the fireball though was a glancing hit the heat it produced caused a little burn on my skin. As I was inspecting my arm after putting the fire out I look towards the old man, and as our eyes met he spoke for the first time saying.


    "Child I do not know who you are or why nay never mind why, but how you where able to get in here and kill the guards. But I am the court mage for the Mallors, and upholding my pride as a mage I will not let you leave here alive even if you are a child."


    A little annoyed about being looked down upon I replied back in a sneer.


    "Mage I have use of you so I will not kill you, as for information about me I will tell you now where everyone can hear so I do not need to repeat myself. I am the son of Ellan Moore, and yet to be given a name. As to why I am here it is a single reason mother was in pain because of father''s death, and the one that organized it was the pig noble Mallor. He even had the galls to try to claim her as his toy. He has been dealt with, and now I am just erasing completely the start of mother¡¯s pain simple really"


    Without waiting for a reply I started letting myself fall forwards this time I plan to end this quickly I only need him to be alive and able to speak so using gravity rush and all the power I can muster from my legs I spring forwards. Again the wall of flame appears, but I am already in front of him before it fully forms 2 meters back. Quickly circling him I slice both legs under the kneecap forcing him to his knees I then proceeded to disarm him taking the staff for myself as I am quite curious about it.


    I did not plan to interrogate him here as I wanted somewhere a little more secluded; So I knocked him out with a strike to the back of his head causing his brain to shake and him pass out. Grabbing him by the back of the neck like a kitten I carried him to the carriage and deposited him there. Walking back towards the mini-castle like building I was wonder what to do with it. I did not want it I felt more comfortable at mother¡¯s manor, and I did not want someone to take that pigs place so I decided to destroy it.


    The only problem was how I was going to destroy this mini-castle as it was mainly made of rocks and stones. Thinking of all my techniques whether marital based or energy based I had a few that could do the job, but they required more strength and energy than I could currently produce. After a minute of thinking I came up with the perfect solution. It was the staff in my hands that the mage was using, though I had no idea what he used it for maybe it was able to cast the spell or maybe enhance the spell the user cast I did not know.


    I did know that as soon as I touched it I felt energy in it, and quite a good amount. I did not know how to use magic, but this energy in this staff which I am going to guess is mana feels like I can convert it into the energy of the universe that I use. Taking a bit of the energy from the air I surrounded the staff with a thin layer, and started to compress it. As I compressed it I slowly used the walls energy to change the mana to energy. I stopped when it was the size of my 2 hands together, and waited for it to finish the converging.


    When there was no more mana and all energy I no longer had to compress it with the wall as I could control the energy at will. Walking towards the castle with energy floating above my palm I realized I might need to do a little more or else it would not be completely destroyed. So I started to pull of the energy to a single point above my finger till you could barely see it. I could feel the power it had though; It was quite frightening even for me it was very unstable when this much power was condensed, especially because I never actually used this much power before. When I take energy from the air the amount is puny compared to the amount that was in that staff.When I reached what I felt like the center of the mini-castle I used the energy to enchant my vocal cords and with a booming voice said.


    "To all those in Mallor residence I am giving one warning leave now or perish with this building and all that is inside."


    With that said I gently set the condensed energy afloat with it slowing descending. Not waiting a second longer than necessary I ran as fast as I could out of the mini-castle right to the carriage where the mage was still passed out. Giving the command to return me home to the carriage driver we started heading back home. As we were passing the gate to leave behind us there was a loud boom and a gust of wind that blew outwards, and to my shock there was a large force that started pulling us back towards where the mini-castle was located. Before the carriage had been damaged and the horse hurt just as fast as it happened it stopped.


    Quickly ordering the surprised driver to start going again if he wishes to live he started back towards home. I just stay there going over everything in my head; I had actually never done that before as the required energy needed was too much to be useful in battle I would have to get into my meditation position for who knows how long to amass the amount of energy I got from converting the mana in that staff into energy. Its effect was even more surprising I expected the explosion, but I did not see the implosion that came afterwards coming.


    The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    I will really need to be careful if I ever use that again, as I might get sucked in if I was too near. I also should come up with a name for it as that was the first time I used it, thinking about its effects and requirements I think Black Hole would be appropriate. Finishing my inner thoughts I notice the mage is starting to wake up. Before he does anything I hit a few pressure points to immobilize him to prevent any annoyances. When he comes to full consciousness I can tell he was trying to move without any results he seemed panicked until he looked at me. Then all I saw was dread in his face, like he saw a monster which I guess is a little true sense to anyone, besides mother I am a freak of nature.


    The pressure points I hit stop all movement including talking so he cannot cast any spells. Though I do not know if he can cast without his staff or not. Ignoring him I start meditation to pass the time in the carriage. Before long we arrive back at the manor hoping out the carriage I once again grabbed the mage by his neck, and sent the driver on his way wherever that is. Mage in hand I open the door to the manor, and firstly look for mother.


    Seeing as how I told her to take a bath so she could relax, I figured she would be in her room so that was the first place I went. To my pleasure mother was in bed with Jane by her bed-side. Before I walked in I had set down the mage against the wall. I walked to the end of the bed, mother was sleeping while Jane just looked at me I nodded to her and she gently woke up mother. As she came to and her mind became re-focused she stared at me until she finally realized she wasn''t dreaming and leapt up and gave me a hug saying.


    "My son what have you been doing? Look at you there is blood all over your clothing, what have you done my son?"


    I gave her a short explanation saying I destroyed everything to do with the Mallors, and that she can retake fathers lost position. Though I avoided giving details mother is not stupid, and almost instantly realized the real meaning behind my words. She gave me a stern look and told me.


    "My son why do you try to hide what you did with words I am not a flower that will whittle away so easily I know how this world works. You killed them all yes?"


    Knowing lying was not going to work, and hoping mother would not change her view at me I responded.


    "Yes mother I have slain the Mallor noble, and all his guards that came here. I used his driver and carriage to find his residence where I disposed of the rest of the guards and destroyed the residence as I did not want someone like him to be replaced."


    As I was speaking mother staring at me attentively seeming to notice how I felt after I finished speaking she pulled me back into a warm embrace. It was the warm and loving hug mother always gives me, after we finally parted from the embrace mother spoke to me.


    "I will not say I am happy you took all those lives, but I understand why you did what you did and it makes me extremely proud of you. Mother will always love you so do not ever think you will scare me away my son."


    With a smile on my face I reply back.


    "I thank you mother the love you show me I feel I am undeserving of, but I will try to live to become a man that is worthy of it. That aside mother when I was at the Mallor residence a mage attacked me; you said you did not know much about magic so I thought I would have him tell me. Do we have a place I can use to detain him till I have the information I want?"


    Mother seemed to think for awhile with her finger on her chin, after awhile she made a face like she thought of something and said.


    "In the basement we have a holding cell though it is has been unused for years since your father took over."


    Thankful that we have somewhere I replied back with a smile.


    "Thank you mother I will bring him there now, you should get some more rest as my recent actions might cause you some problems."


    Mother nodded at that Jane was still quiet on the side of the bed not speaking at all throughout mother and my conversation. Walking out mother¡¯s room I picked the immobile mage back up and carried him down to the cellar to where mother had said the cell was. Upon seeing the cell I could only describe it as bare. There was nothing in it besides a basic wooden chair the walls floor and ceiling all stone, and the door made up of iron bars. I placed the mage in the chair and closed the iron bar door releasing the pressure point allowing the mage to move and speak again.


    Right after I undid his pressure point before he could speak up I said in a cold voice.


    "You will not speak unless asked a question. You have some information I would like you will provide it willingly or unwillingly."


    My tone reinforced the fact that it was not a request but a demand. The mage though replied with yes, and I instantly slapped him across the face and spoke.


    "I said do not speak unless asked a question, that was a command you did not have permission to speak."


    The mage in a state of shock and pain simply nodded this time which I replied with.


    "Good, now first question mother knew nothing about magic when I asked, and I could not find anything to do with magic in any of the books tell me how this magic works."


    Without hesitation he answered my question.


    "Magic is very rare on the outskirts the people who are born with magic tend to live in the central city or move on towards the main dimension seeking to grow stronger. The main reason mages are rare is because the amount of mana people are born with is below the most minimum need to train in magic. To cast a spell a mage uses his internal mana to influences the elemental mana in the world to give it focus and a purpose."


    Seems interesting, I will need to figure out what connection the energy I use and this mana mages use have in common. Also I wonder if I can use energy to interfere with a mage''s mana so that they cannot cast spells. Well before getting ahead of myself I need to find a way to sense mana at a distance. I could sense the mana that was in that staff earlier only when I was in direct contact. Which reminds me I need to figure out what that item was so I should ask the owner.


    "That staff with the orb you pointed it at me before releasing your magic what is its purpose."


    He seemed to hesitate for a moment before resigning himself and telling me.


    "It allows the user to control more external mana that they normally could, by sending your internal mana into the orb it will increase it and allow you more power than normally could."


    Nodding my head I understand it''s use, it seems like a powerful tool saying to myself out loud.


    "Good thing I destroyed it"


    As soon as I said that the mages face became very ugly and he shouted out.


    "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DESTROYED IT THAT WAS AN ARTI-"


    Before he could finish I slapped him with all my power snapping his neck, he fell to the ground dead. I picked up the body and brought it upstairs and outside where I once again dropped it on the ground and like I did for the nobles I kicked it in the same direction. I got the answer I needed so his worth became nothing. This was the first time this body was in combat, and I seem rather fatigued so I quietly head upstairs into my room to sleep.

 Chapter 007

    Today is the day before my 10th birthday, and in this world on your 10th birthday your parents will officially give you a name. This is an ancient tradition that most people in this universe follow, the reason behind it is simple. Many kids that are born into this world die before they reach this age, whether it be caused by diseases, murder, or other natural causes. Mother offered to let me name myself, but I denied saying it would be my honor to receive a name from her.


    I also convinced mother not to hold a banquet for a couple of reasons, my personal reason was I was not a very social person Jane and mother were about the only 2 people I talk to besides the few I spoke to before I killed them. As for the reasons I used to convince mother it was easy; after my annihilation of the Mallor family there were many things to be done. The amount of paperwork mother had to do to get the city back in order, lowering taxes, creating more jobs, organizing a city guard, and a bunch more odd jobs.


    Not to mention the people were at first outraged at my actions and demanded I pay the price, and of course mother would not let that happen; not that she or anyone else in this city had the power to do so. Mother in the end used cleverly arranged words to twist the truth, hiding a few details, and informing them of his plot against father. In the end mother had asked me rather reluctantly to try to stay hidden away from everyone. I had no problems with that as I usually spend most of my time training in the manor courtyard.


    Speaking of training over the last several years I have continued my training; Thanks to the battle I gained a few insights as to my body structure. Things like what muscles were being used the most, and what ones were not on the level needed for my movements. As of now I am pretty confident if I met that mage again I would be fast enough without gravity rush to defeat him. I am confident for a simple reason my muscle fibers have been being drained and refilled with the universe energy over and over. During my first period of training from infant to 7 I had focused mostly on my body, the stronger the body the more energy it can absorb.


    The last several years I have switched over to energy based training, engraving energy over and over again into my cells filling them with as much power as I could with my current fitness level. My muscle fibers where filled with energy now and my power increased by a good margin. Before 75 kg would be my arm strength limit now I am probably around 140 kg. My speed in general is on a whole other level, though I feel my strength is impressive I feel my body structure is in favor of speed.


    As today''s training comes to an end I head back to the manor to clean up, as I finished washing I started to head to my room. But as I started walking there I noticed mother looking for something, and her face seemed a little sad. Curious I walk up to her and ask.


    "Did you lose something mother?"


    She seemed startled as I said that, and turned to look at me her face turning into a bitter sweet smile replied.


    "Not yet my son not yet, I was looking for you actually."


    Mother and I have a very warm relationship as I would describe it, I feel comfortable when I am with her, but over the last several years she has become rather busy so we have not had our usual classes. After a year I stopped waiting for her to tell me she was busy and could not teach me, and just trained through my usual class time instead. We have actually spoken very little or even seen each other very much.


    So hearing her say she was looking for me was a little odd, but I guess my 10th birthday is coming up so she needs me for something about that. Ignoring my inner thoughts I focused my attention back to mother and said.


    "I was just cleaning myself after today''s training, do you need me?"


    Mother looked over me and nodded before saying.


    "Tomorrow is your 10th birthday, and the day you will be getting your name in this world. With it you will become part of this world, though you are my son that I gave birth to you have a destination that will take you to far greater places, I just wanted to make sure you are prepared."


    Mother was being more serious and stern than usual so plied with full confidence.


    "Yes mother I will take your words to heart, and never forget them."


    She gave me one bright smile before nodding to me and walking towards her office. I finished up my day and went to bed ready for the next day when I receive my name. I was woke up early as I did everyday but to my surprise today unlike the others head maid Jane was already up cleaning the house. As she noticed me awake she quickly bowed to me greeting me with.


    "Good morning young master, you are awake early."


    To which I simply said.


    "Good morning Jane, and I am up this time every day."


    She simply nodded and continued to clean the house occasionally turning to give me a glance before turning back to her task. Confused by her actions, but not wanting to interrupt her I left for my morning run. After that I meditate before starting my physical training to increase my body strength and deplete my cells energy. Once again I will meditate to refill my cells and I will continue this cycle throughout the day. Though today I choose to quit early so that I can bath and get myself ready for my naming ceremony.


    Though I say ceremony it will just be mother, Jane, and I as they are the only ones that know the truth about me. Since I was born here I have only worn basic training attire, but since today is a special day I gave into mother¡¯s request to dress up today. I had a long sleeve shirt under a vest with cloth pants tucked into leather boots. My eyes were an emerald green with my hair flowing down to my shoulders, though a random side effect of training with the energy of the universe was my hair lost its color and seemed as whiter than snow.


    I was indifferent towards my appearance I did not know if I looked handsome or noble or anything, but mother wanted me to wear this so I obliged. As for my hair as long as it never got in the way of my movements I would leave it to grow. Fully clothed I leave my room and head to mother¡¯s office where she and Jane are waiting. Standing in front of the door I take a deep breath then exhale, though I am confident in my abilities this moment represents me integrating into a new world. I will be given a name that name will hold all my achievements and actions.


    Quickly calming myself I open the door and step in to face mother sitting on her desk with Jane to her right slightly behind her. Hearing me walk in both their gazes fix on me mother gives me a nod and Jane just smiles. Once they acknowledge my presence I walk to the front of the desk and speak.


    "Mother as today is my 10th birthday according to ancient rights, I have been giving the right to acquire a name."


    Mother was quiet for a little before finally speaking.


    "My son you are correct, I have offered to let you name yourself but by your request I shall give you your own name."


    She paused before she continued speaking.


    "My son through the story you have come to tell me, I grant you the name Fenyang Caelius. Fenyang meaning conqueror and Caelius meaning heaven. Together it is conqueror of heaven, I give you this name for you have beaten death and reclaimed life."


    I could only give a wry smile as when I told her the truth I withheld the confrontation I had with the angel, so this name was more accurate than she knows. Thinking about the name it is foreign sounding to me, but I am sure it will grow on me. Replying back to mother I said.


    "I am honored to have this name as my own."


    Mother got up and went over to a trunk in the corner of the room. She opened it and took out an object covered in a cloth. Holding the object in her hands then walked over to me, and uncovered what I know as a steel broadsword. It is surprising seeing a steel sword this far on the outskirts of the dimension, so I asked mother.


    "Mother how is it that you came to acquire a steel weapon, from what I am aware of steel weaponry is very rare in the outskirts of the dimension."


    Ignoring my question she said.


    "Take this sword as a parting gift, as your mother it is painful knowing we will have to separate. But I know your life journey is much greater than this city. I do not know when you will leave, but I know you will so I give you this my son Fenyang Caelius."


    Taking the sword from mother I held it in my hand, it felt as light as a feather for some reason confused I asked mother.


    "Mother this sword seems too light to be steel, but I am sure it is steel why is that?"


    Mother gave a faint smile and explained.


    "That sword has a few enchantments on it, one being to decrease its weight, another to increase the blades sharpness, and lastly an enchantment that cleans the sword of blood."


    Letting her words register I am amazed she could get this high quality of weapon. Curious I start to focus on the sword to feel for any form of energy like I did with the mages staff. Inside I indeed can feel energy though not on the same level of the staff it still has quite a good amount. Pleased with my first sword obtained in this world I thank mother.


    "Mother I am feeling rather ungrateful to you, you have given me so much yet I have taken from you a precious son."


    Mother without responding embraces me, and after a minute or two she lets go and says.


    "You are my son, whether you understand it or not I have given birth to you your soul was in the body of the baby in my womb. That to me tells me you are not an invader, but my son so do not worry yourself about it anymore as family we help each other and get helped in return."


    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Her words make sense I guess I just need to accept the reality of it all. Along with the sword was also a basic scabbard, putting the sword inside of the scabbard I give a slight bow to mother before saying.


    "I will take your words to heart, and use your gift to the best of my abilities. But once again I must take from you for as you have guessed now that I have my name I need to leave to search for strength. I would like to leave soon within the week as to when I come back I do not know nor if I will even be able to make it back."


    Mother and Jane both had faces of surprise as I just told them I was going to leave within the week. I guess although they knew I was going to leave, they did not think I was going to leave this soon. Not wanting to upset them I said.


    "Mother you are a strong woman with compassion, by your side you have Jane always supporting you never leaving your side. With everything I have done to this city you still will need a lot more effort to stabilize everything. I know departing might sadden you, but you must be strong. No matter where I am or what I become I will always be thankful for this life you have given me, along with the knowledge and support. Mother will always be mother and I will always be your son."


    Finishing my little speech mother and Jane both started tearing up, mother pulled Jane over and we had a family hug with me trying my best to stop them from being too upset. After a while they finally seemed to have calmed down, and mother said.


    "You honor me with your word Fenyang, and makes me as a mother proud. As you have said I need to be strong so when the time comes I will let you see my smile not tears."


    Not knowing what to say anymore I excuse myself, and leave the room to go make preparations for travel. The only problem is in order to do that I need to go into town, but I am not well liked there; thinking about it I can only try to hide my face with a cloak.


    Looking around the house I found a rather dark cloak that hides my face and most of my body. The effect it gave off was quite good, though my stature is a little short because of my white hair people wouldn''t take me for a kid. The faint emerald glow from my eyes could be seen through the darkness the hood casted over my face. Confident in my disguise I headed over to the town for my first actual visit since my ride through the carriage.


    Since I did not want to be spotted leaving the manor I used a detour leaving through the forest on the side of the manor I plan on making my way through it and head into the village through the public gate. The forest itself was mostly unexplored people believing in that you do not disturb will not disturb you. Living this far out most people would lack the strength to fight wild animals so they mostly relied on farming for their food source.


    The forest was mostly untouched and thus the trees formed a canopy that the sunlight couldn''t pierce. It was pure darkness to the point I needed to infuse some energy into my eyes so I could see. When I use this form of transformation my eyes turned into elliptical pupils like a cats and my iris turn a pure white color. I tend to avoid using this ability because I have noticed unlike with my hand transformation if I overuse this my eyes will permanently become like this. Though these might have a lot of advantages to them, they could cause quite a few misunderstandings causing me headaches.


    Some of my other transformations are similar in this case so my use of the ability is quite low. Back in my old world though I was a hermit people still knew I was human if I had used these abilities, and let''s say my eyes became permanent people would view me as a monster.  Though now that I am in a world with such diverse races I should look into what advantages, and disadvantages I could gain my making some permanent transformations.


    That should have to wait till I am out of human lands though, because I do not know how they would react. Immersed in my thoughts while walking through the forest my thoughts were interrupted by a faint whimper. It was very faint to the point where I thought I was hearing things, that is until I heard it again. Listening intently I confirmed it seems to be coming from deeper inwards the center of the forest. Curiosity fueling my actions I slowly make my ways towards the sound. After a good half an hour of walking I came upon a breathtaking sight. A beautiful pure white wolf was laying on her side panting heavily. Seemly in pain, injured or something I do not know. Slowly and carefully I walk towards the beautiful wolf as I emerge from the brush into the clearing where the wolf is lying it gives me a heart stopping glance.


    Though I have lived a full life and was reincarnated to live again never once have I ever felt a glance so cold. Stopping myself from going further as it was clear it did not approve of me coming closer I sat down and stared at it. The only thought in my mind was how beautiful and majestic it was. As I was staring at it, it turned its head and stared at me. This action surprised me for a couple reason. One being it did not look like it had the energy to waste to even move; secondly looking into its eyes I saw a deep intelligence far surpassing humans. As we were staring at each other it into my transformed eyes me into her beautifully intelligent eyes, to my complete shock it spoke.


    "Human I know you are for this is the human dimension those eyes of yours are not the eyes of a human. I do not know what you are or why you are here, but I wish to be alone right now leave."


    From her voice I noticed it was a female, her voice was soft but held the power to command. Ignoring her command to leave, after getting over my astonishment over her talking I said.


    "I was traveling through the forest when I heard your whimper curious I followed it here. As to what I am I am human my eyes are an ability I have to change so I can see in this dark forest. You have asked me two questions I think it''s fair of me to ask in return before leaving?"


    The wolf seemed rather taken back by the fact that I not only ignored her command to leave, but started a conversation with her. Looking a little curious she replied.


    "Human I will allow it ask then leave"


    Not waiting the slightest I asked.


    "Why is it that you seem to be in pain?"


    She seemed reluctant to answer, but she had said she would so she replied.


    "I am dying from a bad pregnancy human, the baby did not come out right and we are both paying our lives for it."


    Through this question I have confirmed she is indeed a she, although I had already guessed as much. Also to my surprise she is dying, looking at her I feel rather reluctant to let this creature die. Though I am not a very chivalrous person I am not pure evil. For me it is an arm for a finger, when respect is given my belief is it should be given back. Thinking about this creature in front of me, I look through all my knowledge. In particular I have ways to heal certain things depending on the stability of the patient.


    If I can save her I figure I should as her death feels like a waste I used my second question.


    "Would you like me to try to heal you?"


    This question though seemed to take her by complete surprise, as she looked at me in eyes of disbelief she replied.


    "Human I am grateful for your generosity, but I am a monster as such my affinity to light is negative. Any healing magic would only hurt me furthermore I do not feel any magic about you so how is it you plan to heal me."


    Replying to her question I simply said.


    "I said I would try first step would be let me touch you I need to check on you, and your baby first."


    Though she did not believe I could heal her she seemed to accept any form of help, and with her nod of approval I slowly walked closer and put my hand on her stomach. Her fur felt like silk on touch, but on further examination it was extremely tough I doubt my new sword could even cut her. Quickly finishing an external examination I closed my eyes and using the energy I have stored within my body start to probe her for an internal examination. I could feel her energy slowly leaving her body as her baby was unable to move itself in order to leave her womb.


    Quickly I gave her some energy to give me a little more time, and I put my full attention on the baby. Saving this baby is the equivalent to saving the mother. Once she gives birth she should be able to naturally recover on her own. With this thought I started to feed the baby my energy allowing it to make slight movements. With those slight movements it was able to wiggle itself into a position that will allow itself to leave the womb.


    Once I felt it was in the right spot I stopped supplying energy to it opening in my eyes I felt extremely tired. Babies bodies have no muscles so the amount of energy needed to allow movement is exceedingly high, Luckily animals in general are born with more strength than humans. Also this little one seemed to have exceptional potential in his body. Not wanting to disturb this part of nature I backed away to where I could rest, and not interrupt the mother.


    After waiting for what felt like an hour I heard a howl that spread through the sky, a howl of a proud mother that had given birth.
