"I don't think that with all that I've been through I would forgot some details of the story, but just in case I forgot. I will write the story from start to finish "

Ren taking out a pen and paper below his desk, he's going to be busy tonight.

"The length of the story is very long and I have to write it by hand. If only there is a computer in this world..." Ren shook his head, he would need to adjust at this new environment.

...

"The side story, Kaguya-Hime, is done. I got one of the [Ancient War Series] as a reward. In the game, this was a limited time event so only a few people got this reward.

Freya is one of the first three, [Ancient War Series], that is introduced at the beginning of the game.

The three are composed of two Ancient War Maidens, and one Ancient War Crusader.

Elysium has a lot factories that could make [War Puppets] which could be said to be similar. Using a core made up of magical power, the war puppet could be activated.

The difference between the [Ancient War Series] and the [War Puppets] is that War Maidens, and War Crusaders are sentients. They are no less different than living beings, however they are Immortals, even if they somehow 'die' they will just recover and appear again.

On the other hand, the [War Puppets] lives up to its name, a puppet. Non-living beings that only moves because of the energy supplied by the magical core."

...

"Phew, I'm done. Ren slumped back in his chair.

"What should I do next? Thinking about it now, I need to have at least one goal in mind." Ren thought in wonder.

"Should I have some ground breaking plan, like disrupting the heroines plan, beating up the prince, or making the villainess fall in love with me?" Ren considered his next course of actions.

"Hmm... when I saw the villainess for the first time in the game she sure looked beautiful, the same could be said for the heroine too. I can't ignore the princess either, she was after all hailed as the number one beauty of the kingdom... I wonder which should I choose as my aim?..." Ren thought for a while.

"If I make the heroine fall for me, wouldn't I destroy all the routes? Especially, the prince route, the prince would literally cry if I stole the girl who is the only that understood him. And those crazy fan girls back in earth that chose the prince route would burn me to death, haha...

There is also the knight route, if I get the heroine first before she could talk to the knight who due to her encouragement became a brave knight in the future. With his actions and strength, he protected the kingdom from monster beasts.

The brave knight won't exist if the heroine doesn't talk and give him courage. If there is no brave knight, it would mean no one can protect the kingdom from monster beasts at that time, then aren't I indirectly damaging the kingdom?...

You can't ignore the handsome half-elf teacher route either, if I stole the woman who comforted him and the one who gave him hope during his depressing times. It's possible he'd lose all his trust in humans, right? Haha..."

Ren laughed as an evil grin keeps forming on his face while thinking about the different outcomes that will happen if he gets the heroine of the game.

"Well, why settle for one when I can have it all? I need to be mindful of the change, though. The world would deviate from my knowledge in the game if the change is too fast and big.

I don't care what will happen to the capture targets, if I have time and I'm in the mood maybe I can consider helping them... then the goal has been decided, instead of the heroine capturing the capture targets. I would be the one doing the capture towards all the female characters... I hope this life better be interesting."

Lunar Year: 665, Day: 10 of (Aleph)

It has been ten days since then, Ren spent all of his time in learning magic through reading magic books. He learned how to start basic magic spells, but he doesn't know how to release it.

Left with no choice, he chose to memorize all the books that are related to magic in the mansion's library.

"Haaah, I'm done... yet why do I feel like I didn't improve on anything at all." Ren sighed closing the last magic book, he turned his sight at Freya who was leisurely drinking tea.

"While your master is here working hard, you sure can relax, huh?" Ren rolled his eyes at her.

"You need something from me, Ren?" Freya smiled at him.

In the span of 10 days, both of their relationship have improved a lot. Ren still couldn't stop himself from spacing out when he is with her.

Due to the fact that it keeps happening again and again. He looked down on himself, thinking that he couldn't even act calmly around a woman.

In the fifth day, he finally noticed that this situation that keeps repeating felt weird. Noticing his sudden realization, Freya let out a chuckle.

Ren asked what she is laughing for, Freya revealed the truth. It turned out to be an effect of one of her abilities, charm.

Freya's charm had been activated since the start, and she didn't turn it off because she was having fun seeing his reaction.

"You look so cute so..."

"Fuck it! Turn that off."

...

"Why are you using that again?" Ren looked at her, trying hard to remain his composure.

"Ah? I didn't notice." Freya pretended to be surprised.

"You noticed now, so why don't you turn it off already?" Ren smile wryly, this woman is really...

"Hm, too bad." Freya disappointingly turned it off, as she didn't get a reaction from him.

"Just you wait a couple of years later." Ren smiled. His body is still not mature and revenge could be done in the future.

"You won't be cute by then, so I won't look at you. You can't do anything to me." Freya shrugged.

"Yeah, I surely won't be cute because I'd be handsome. You are already reserved for me, so don't bother resisting, it's pointless." Ren countered.

"A kid like you? Sorry, this older sister is not interested in you." Freya rolled her eyes.

"Enough chitchat, we're going out." Ren wanted to find a teacher to teach magic, and he needs to find it by himself as simply relying on his family is a lost cause.

It would be a waste of time, he knows that his father won't agree and they won't believe that a kid who is still seven years old would've already awakened his magical power.

"Okay, Ren." Freya finished her tea in one gulp.

"Let's go." Ren opened the door but because he was looking at Freya he didn't notice the person standing in front of him.

"Sorry, my bad." Ren bumped his head at the person's abdomen, looking up he got surprised at the person's identity. Claire, his stepmother.

"You're going to learn magic right? Mother will be you teacher." Claire smiled sweetly.

Seeing Claire's smile, Ren's heart started getting erratic, he quickly suppressed it. 'Phew, I almost reacted like how I always am when I'm being charmed by Freya.
