looking back to his past life and his day to day memories, he never really tried to be good or the best at something, life, was unexpectedly boring and flat, he never had any ambitions, he remembered once in fifth grade when a teacher of his.
An English Professor, who was always lively and positive, ask him, what he would like to be when he grew up, due to being naive and stupid he dismissed the question by saying that he wanted to be a mage, the whole class laughed at him but the professor told everyone to stop it and encouraged him to keep working hard.
"If you truly wish to be a mage then you must work hard, i know this might not come off as good advice, but why not become a scientist, magic and science are close when it comes to complexity and understanding, what if you could create magic out of science, wouldn't that be fun." Smiling, the teacher gave Daniel a Thumbs up and she quickly went back to the black board.
Unknowingly she implanted a seed inside Daniel's mind, one that would change the world so drastically, it would be inevitable.
After trying to look more into his memories he was launched outwards by an invisible barrier.
*GASP*
Gasping for air, Daniel Quickly got up from the ground and looked around his room, quickly finding a pencil he sat down next to his desk and started to write down everything he has remembered, so far Meditation has been helping immensely when it came to regaining most of his core memories, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch any of the memories related to his skills and the games main plot, he managed to remember a few ones about artifacts and side plots, but nothing too interesting.
"Fillers too much fillers." Shaking his head, Daniel quickly started to skim through his Timetable, after meditation came Physical conditioning, then some Staff beat- training from Johan, shortly it came mana exhaustion and internal mana manipulation.
"That reminds me, there wasn't any mention of the mana related skills." Quickly Daniel tried to see the difference between the skills he had gotten and the ones he hadn't, writing down everything that might be useful he quickly arrived at a conclusion, he forgot to open his logs after getting his Sneaking skill, and he only got the dodge skill because he reactivated the notifications after he was satisfied with his stats and skill level.
"Too bad the system is under an update, well its time to go back and train, who even needs the system, simply knowing that its possible and doing it is what matters, not a conformation from the system." Shaking his head at his own dumb thoughts He got up from the desk he usually documents any new finding about the system and any memory that he remembers.
"Why does it feel like something has been forgotten, hmmm." His confusion was swept away as a knock was heard coming from his door.
"Yes ?" Asking who it was the reply gave him another dose of confusion.
"Rodin its me ,Your father." Quickly opening the door he was met with a solemn looking dad, gulping he inquired.
"Y-you, i- i mean, Father, are you feeling unwell." Seeing his son's worrying about him almost teared up Roland, who just hugged him and patted his back.
"I am well, son, actually my visit is about something else, will you let me in ?" Daniel Quickly nodded and started haphazardly cleaning his room, his father let out a chuckle and told him that it doesn't bother him.
"Don't worry, Johan is away doing something important, so he wont be pestering you about the cleanliness of your room." Roland winked at Daniel who scratched the back of his neck, looking around the room, Roland was quite impressed, there were papers, documents, books, notebooks and dirty clothes everywhere, but, one place was suspiciously clean, the opening of one window, the window to the left side of the bed.
"Son, there are some bad news, we will have to cancel our trip to the eastern kingdom, some really bad things have been uncovered, you will have to leave and visit your aunt until things are dealt with." Roland apologized and told him about the Giants thinking of starting a war with the empire because one has died by someone from the empire.
"I-i see, how long will this take, will Johan come with me, my spear training hasn't even begun !" Daniel frowned and looked down saddened, his father's silence proved one thing, he had to deal with the spear training by his own self.
"I trust you, son, you have unimaginable potential, you just have to look deep inside, and find the will that you have lost." Roland pointed at Daniels heart and then showed a fist, it took Daniel a second to realize what his Father was trying to do and he imitated his father, Bumping their fists together Roland began.
"Remember, When there is a will, there is a way, you will reach the pinnacle, not because you're my son, not because you are your mother's son, but because you have what it takes to become the strongest, your curiosity, your perseverance, your innocence and your open minded attitude at life, these 5 characteristics are enough to open the path towards greatness." Roland stated and with a sigh looked at his son, Rodin, feeling happy, he didn't expect his son to tell him anything, that's how he was, how he raised him, regretful but it was how it was, pressing against the handle of the door he was prepared to leave until something caught him off guard.
"Thanks dad." Roland nodded with joy and left humming, Daniel had a small smile on his face and got back to planning.
