"It seems your son was born to be a swordsman. already so interested in the sword at the age of 1." A middle-aged man said with a smile as he drank a glass of wine, Sora's father smiled slightly as he walked Sora give up on trying to pick up the sword before jumping off the table.
He smiled as he turned towards the middle-aged man before quickly turning back towards Sora.
"where did he go?" He yelled in panic as Sora had disappeared, everyone from the Skievidra household was speechless. they got distracted for one second and their young master just disappeared, one should know they had sharp senses no normal person should be able to run away from them.
"here," Sora said speechlessly while in the arms of his arms, did they think he would be so foolish as to run off with so many unknown people here. He didn't want to be kidnapped or something.
His father was instantly speechless, this was unexpected of Sora, he would have not been shocked if Sora found himself outside or something. anyways, the party continued and soon came to an end.
Sora was bored most of the time, he didn't have an interest in talking to kids. Sora also realized he was being too showy, people were considering him a genius or something. this was a bad time to be showing off, so he decided to be more low-key than he was already.
So for the next few years, Sora just became lazy. acting like a child and trying to get the trust of his mother so he could go outside. it worked, but he was limited to the area around their castle, also he had to alert the guards or someone to keep an eye on him.
in a blink of an eye, Sora was 3 years old. Sora was allowed to freely walk around the castle now, he also began seeing his other sibling more and more often.
Sora sat at a table while reading about the strong est members of the god's race. although members of the god race didn't bother themselves with humans, and in fact would sometimes toy with them for fun, the humans have come up with ways to find the strongest among them.
the strongest among them was the ruler of the gods was known as Anotatos, he was the ruler of the god race. known for his power to turn dreams into reality, he was a powerful being who is said to hold enough power to destroy the world.
there were other gods, like the 3 gods of time, Chronos, Aion, and Kairos. Chronos had the power to stop time, Aion had the power to reverse the clock, and Kairos had the power to speed time up. they had almost no limit to this, both living and none living time will be effect by their power.
But these 3 were once one being called Khonsu, who Anotatos thought was too dangerous and split his power into 3. there were many gods, such as the god of earth Kemokemo, and so on.
there were also other words, such as the celestial spirit realm, demon realm, and so many others. This world has been trying to make contact with those words to team up to take down the gods. Although many races have teamed up, that didn't mean every member of the said race was working together.
only those who were wise enough to see that the gods were just too powerful would come together to fight against this danger. this was a fight for survival, if they just sit back they risk being killed off sooner or later.
Sora spent most of his time reading, he didn't know about the god race if he wished to slaughter them all. there was also the fact he wished to learn more from the magic of this world, he, of course, had a better understanding of magic than most people in this world
Magic is the physical embodiment of the spirit. When the physical spirit of an organism connects with the spiritual flow of nature, the spirit forms Magic as a product of the connection. Though Magic goes beyond reason, it is still born of reason and it takes an enormous amount of concentration and mental ability to use it.
One's magical powers are also tied to one's life force. Only 1% of the world's population can use Magic, which is a small amount, but the number was raise each year. One strength of feelings also places an important part in Magic. if you truly believe in something, the power you can show will be countless times higher
All kinds of Magic are used in Earth Land and they can be used for many purposes such as offense, defense, support, and healing, as well as other, more practical purposes. Magic is used by exerting Magic Power as a wide variety of spells or by focusing it on an external source. To learn Magic, you must train your intellect and spirit. However, it should be noted that the stronger the Magic, the more it tends on selecting its wielder; if the Mage's mind is frail, the Magic will take over and destroy them.
To utilize Magic, a Mage must use the Magic Power in their body, which is composed of Ethernano, the source of Magic Power for all Mages. Every Mage has a container of Ethernano inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power. In the case that it becomes empty, Ethernano will come from the atmosphere and enter the Mage's body and, after a while, their Magic Power shall return to normal.
One can also train their Nervous System and Wisdom for magic, where the former becomes a vessel for Magic Power, a way to increase it. Though this would leave some Mages to neglect their physical Training,
Sora was born with an abnormal amount of Ethernano, Sora also was much stronger than others.
With his mastery over his body. already able to use it to the max and even push it past the max without much problem. plus the fact he could control the energy used in his actions so it isn't wasted, letting him draw out the full potential of her speed and offensive power. Sora at 6 months old could defeat a grown man, and this is not with magic power.
Sora was now 3 years old, of course, he was stronger than many people out there. even some guards might not be his match
"Alright, Sora. go get ready. you're already 3 years old, I will start teaching you how to fight." Sora's father said calmly, Sora sighed softly, but he went to get ready and met his father outside where the whole family was gathered.
"you will become a knight in the future. as a night, you must be skilled in many forms of combat, from hand to hand, with the spear, sword, bow, and so on. everyone seemed to be most skilled with the sword, so we will start with the sword for you." He said as he threw a wooden sword toward Sora, he easily caught it.
"come at me." He said calmly, Sora looked at the sword in his hands and back at his father. after images of every possible move his father could take to his every move appeared in an instant, Sora quickly understand th best root to take on his father and kill him.
Sora was quiet for some time as he thought of what he should do, but after a moment he shrugged and rushed forward. His father smiled slightly at Sora's speed, much faster than most kids his age. although this was because Sora was running away from people searching for him when he wanted to be alone, he was not complaining.
'he is going to disarm me... there 1,421 ways to easily turn this into my favor.' Sora thought as he looked at his father who haven't even moved yet, a moment later when he was within range, his father moved as his sword moved. Sora's sword was sent flying as he stopped before his father
"you have speed, but can't simply rush towards your opponent, you should read them and try and project their next move. a person's eyes can tell you a lot of things about a person, their way of breathing, the way they stand, and so on. learn to read this and try to hide this to make it harder for your opponent to so easily guess your next move." He said calmly, Sora nodded calmly but deep down he was annoyed.
Sora went on to act like a normal person, of course, he showed some skills like learning what his father was trying to teach him after many tries. this made his father happy, Sora was so serious about his training, what more could he ask for.
but the next day, he was annoyed as Sora was avoiding him. he had to drag Sora to train, this went on for months, which truly made him enraged. Sora was quickly known as the bookworm who preferred books over being a mage. but by the age of 5 when he went through all the book, his nickname became the lazy young master, as he would spend his time sleeping within a tree. only to be knocked down by his father to train.
Before Sora knew it, he was 7 years old. Sora sat in a carriage as he looked outside, this was the first time out in the carriage
"Mother, I will not run away. I just want to explore... so can you remove this thing?" Sora asked as he looked at the rope tieing him to his mother. His mother ignored him completely, home many times have she fallen for these worlds. Sora just gets easily distracted, and before she knew it, he had forgotten his words.
"We are going to see my parents. now, I expect you to train if your grandfather wishes to train you. do not go off running around or else I will tie you to my back again." She said seriously, Sora pouted slightly but nodded in understanding.
His grandfather and grandmother worked for the emperor, they were one of his most trusted knights. they were skilled in dual magic, making them one of the most powerful magic when together. dual magic was an extremely powerful ability that allows two Mages to unite two kinds of Magic similar in nature together, thereby creating an even stronger attack.
Sora's grandfather was well known for his powerful holy spear magic, and his grandmother was known for her dark sword magic. when the two came together, they formed an attack more than twice times as strong as they could have thrown out on their own.
Sora and his mother soon appeared in the heart of the kingdom, the kingdom was called the Rasha Kingdom, ruled by the Rasha royal family. as they entered through the gate, Sora's eyes widened as he looked at the caste which looked better than the Skievidra castle.
They soon left parked and Sora's mother removed the rope around Sora after giving Sora a warning. as they got off, they saw Sora's grandparents awaiting them. Sora respectfully greeted the two, they both had on normal clothing today was their day off to spend time with their grandson after all.
"he is so adorable." Sora's grandmother said as she pinched Sora's cheeks, Sora wanted to break free but his grandfather picked him up and placed him on his shoulder. after playing with an annoyed Sora for some time, they placed him down before getting to business
"come, the king wishes to meet you. Sora, you go play with princess Lian." Sora's grandfather said as Sora looked over and saw a pink-haired girl looking at him. she was around 4 or 5 years older than Sora,
they left leaving the two alone, Sora was speechless not knowing what to do. but Sora quickly realized they left him alone, with a smile he turned to enter the city. he just wanted to explore, he will be back before his mother knew he was gone.
"I was asked to make sure you don't go off running around, I will break your legs if I have to." She said calmly as soon as Sora took the first step, Sora was annoyed this brat thought she could watch him?
"fine, then how about we go together?" Sora asked calmly, Lian frowned as she looked at Sora, Noll, Sora's grandfather told her to not fall for Sora's words. but she didn't believe a 7-year-old could get the better of her, plus she thought staying here will be boring, so she agreed.
So the two walked off, as Sora looked around the busy street, his noise soon picked up the smell of food. closing his eyes, he turned to follow the smell.
meanwhile, Lian who was calmly walking next to Sora turn to look at Sora and froze as Sora had disappeared.
she was instantly hit with panic, she quickly looked all around her, but couldn't find Sora anywhere. she quickly took out a crystal to contact Sora's grandfather and reported what happened
Sora's mother quickly left the castle, after a few minutes she appeared at where Lian was, before going back to where she lost Sora. She quickly picked up on that smell and began following it. she knew Sora better than anyone else, he was like a child, and he was easily distracted by a new thing or something that looked interesting.
While falling the smell, Lian noticed a strange man dressed as a dragon. weird, but she didn't put much thought into it. they soon appeared within a store which was selling nice treats, after asking around the baker told her Sora was here moments ago but left when he saw a man dressed like a dragon walking past their wind.
"We just walked past him," Lian said quickly, the two quickly left and caught up to that man, but after talking to this guy, they found that Sora had gone to see a show performed by my magics.
They went all over the city, but they were just aways a minute late as they missed Sora. they soon found themselves back in the castle where Sora was standing, looking at them, Sora frowned
"Why did you just up and disappear?" Sora asked with a frown, did Lein not know it was dangerous to leave a child like himself all alone. what if he was kidnapped or something
Veins appeared on Lein and Sora's mothers hearing Sora's words, they wanted to send Sora flying into the clouds. but if they did that they would have to spend the whole day searching for him
"you are grounded for a month." Sora's mother said angrily stunning Sora,
"what did I do?" Sora said feeling wronged, but she didn't have time to waste with Sora as she grabbed his hands-on took him into the castle.
Lein, on the other hand, thought today was not so bad, she never knew some of the stuff the kingdom had, but she got to explore some of it today. maybe tomorrow she will see it all.
Sora pouted unhappily as he was tried up to a chair, his grandfather thought this was overkill and let Sora free. Sora thanked him, as the two began speaking Sora notice a kid around his age looking in from the side. curious he walked over to see what was up.
a moment later, Sora's mother looked over to look at Sora, veins instantly popped on her forehead
"he is like a ninja," Noll said softly, he didn't even sense Sora leaving. they quickly set off to search for Sora,
meanwhile, Sora was in the youngest princess of the Rasha kingdom room, looking at the toys she was showing off.
"I have a better collection at home. I even created some with the help of my mom." Sora said calmly as he looked at the dolls,
"really? big brother Sora, you're cool." She said in amazement, Sora calmly placed his hands behind his back,
"it's nothing, I don't even play with them," Sora said cooly, the little girl was amazed, she never thought she would see anyone so cool.
Sora suddenly saw a strange-looking bird flying outside the window, going out he looked at that thing and saw it transform into a human. Sora was stunned but just as he was about to go have a closer look, the door opened as his mother angrily looked at him.
Her face twitched seeing Sora about to jump out of the window, his grandfather flashed, grabbing Sora before he could jump to his death.
"what are you doing about to jump out so high up?" He said with a frown
"I saw a bird turn into a human, I just wanted to have a closer look," Sora said helplessly, a hall from this high up was not enough to kill him. plus, he was going to jump on a tree. everyone was speechless, of course, they didn't know Sora was capable of taking care of himself.
Sora's mother quickly tried Sora up to his back ignoring all of Sora's complaints. they said goodbye to the young princess who was confused about what was happening
"you guys are overreacting. Granpa help" Sora said as he looked at his grandfather, but he sooked his head, Sora needed help. Sora looked at his grandmother who said as she tried to help
"he a child, they should be curious about the world around them. he is growing and likes learning, that's nothing to punish him for." She said with a smile
"mom, he almost jumped out of a window." Sora's mother said seriously
"He has to learn about gravity sooner or later," She said with a shrug, making everyone look at her speechlessly
"mom." Sora's mother said speechless, and Sora's grandmother laughed slightly.
"what? if he fell he would have learned that falling from high heights hurts, you're taking away his chance to learn. how did you learn while going up, through mistakes and pain." She said with a shrug.
"Maybe you're right," Sora said as she thought for a moment, Sora was speechless. are they saying they want him to learn from dying? this was bad parenting
