Chapter 5

(7 months later)

Peter is now almost 1 years old and has a new name. From now on his name is Andrew clock. The grandson of jason clock the head of clock family. Andrews father steve clock is the only child he has because of his wife's poor health.

Lucky for Andrew, his new family shows the same level of love he was shown in his previous life by his family. Although his grandfather is someone strict and discipline. but he saw as a baby just how much he cares about him.

But coincidentally enough his grandmother of his father's side is the one who loves him the most among both side of his grandparents.Same as his previous life although he could feel that his new grandmother is a very sharp and cunning as an individual.

Andrew found that he was born in 1984. Which is not all that bad for him as he doesn't want to be born in any medieval or even in a more old civilizations but he also doesn't want to born after Year 2000 as he would have so little time to be prepared for all the Chaos that would happen.

From his observation, he also found that his family are millionaires in the non magical society owning a very large chemical industry. Which he speculate that after Year 2000 would worth about few billions making their family a lower class billionaire to the outside world which he also feel excited about.

You have to understand that even if Andrew could shift trillions of dollars without anyone knowing about it those money are not truly his.

To have a legal Inheritance of billions of dollars and also having the knowledge of Magic it is not something everyone could experience so it did give him some excitement.

( 2 years later)

It was almost 3 years since he reincarnated in this world. Now Andrew could talk and walk. With this he is now able to get more information about his current situation and around the world.

The first shocking thing he found is that his maternal grandfather is a high priest of the Church and he fully accept his daughter's marriage in a magician family which first shocked him.As according to his understanding the relationship with magician and church are not so friendly as in the medieval period and even before that the Church did tried to exterminate magicians in the name of wich hunt sometimes.

But after asking in different ways about the relationship between magicians and church like a child full with curiosity to his mother she did answer few of them .After understanding all of those Peter came to an answer of his question.

Magicians are the people who can use magic and use it to accomplish various purpose of their life. Allthough their purpose could be good or bad depending on its user the magic itelf is innocent.

As magic is a power that everyone could use if they have the said knowledge of it.People from decon to pope everyone in the church uses magic to fight against the Evil or Devil to their perspective and defend themselves from malice of other panthions.

What the church wants have is the control of the people who uses it so those people could not create chaos right under their nose.

There are many dark magicians who used their power for pure Evil and Madness or they tried to learn some Evil arts to make themselves stronger.

Because of this some of the witch hunt expedition done by church in the past are indeed justified but he was sure most of them were done not because of this but to have power and dominance over the common people by the corrupted people like valpar galilei who will directe The Holy project like in the original novel. As Andrew was sure 80 to 90% of the magician they hunted were innocent .

But it doesn't necessarily make them the enemy of all magicians.As he was sure there were many magicians worshipped God dearly and used their magic for good or are on the side of church because of their own benefits.

Andrew knows that his family are not fully devoted followers of the church but have some good ties with them as his family ancesters had not done any inhuman act and did help Church sometimes when they were in need for it which he was sure were done for some benefits from the church.

It doesn't necessary means his family only deals with Church but sometimes with the grigori as well although they are unable to have some direct contacts with the devils.

Overall his family was in a neutral friendly situation which his maternal grandfather didn't like it at first but couldn't propose any major objections in it either although he seems like a very good as a person to Andrew.

Another thing that he found is that his family lives in Texas which means they lived in America just like his past life.

The the last thing he found about is how power scaling works in dxd with in more detail which were written in the novel.

The power scaling here somewhat works like the cultivation novel he read in the past.

The people here becomes strong by either strengthening and by the virtue of their body, mana and soul. There are Chinese martial artist who Forge their body and strengthen it to fight Supernatural beings.

There are also sadhu's in India who uses their soul to find enlightenment.Which in turn strengthen their soul for them to live outside of their organic body and live in a soul body. Enabling them to perform Supernatural feets which are very tricky and hard to guard against.

And then there is European magicians who uses meditation technique and Alchemy potions to increase their Mana reserves and it's quality .And they uses it to cast spells from attack to defence and uses it to accomplish versatile purposes from Alchemy to searching tasks.

Andrew doesn't know how the power of body and Soul cultivation are ranked but he knows about the magical ways.

According to his grandfather a human could theoretically be as strong as any devil or any Angel or any other strong species could be beside Gods of any panthions. Since Gods anatomy are inclined with natural elements or concepts. Since strengthening process of gods are different from any mortal or other Immortal beings.

But what makes humans weak compare to other species is that human beings are the most balanced species in the existence causing them to have lower potential compared to other species to become strong.

For example, if a person is a devil they would be extremely weak against light and Holy magic or the things atune to it. And if their mentality is too weak they are very prone having wicket thoughts and attracted to do evil activities depending on the mentality.

But because of this they are very atune with dark and demonic magic causing them to have potential in this path. Causing them to have higher potential then human as a whole. The same is true for angels but the total of opposite of devils.

But since humans are totally balanced species they are not atune to any individual element like other species. Causing them to have talents to go with any paths but having low potential then others species atune to the respective elements.

Some might ask, talking about human potential compared to others a grandfather saying it to his grandson to make him aware even if he is a 3 years old is not that uncommon if it's magician family like Andrew's.but why disclose the information of other gods existence?

Well the answer is very simple. Since Andrew's maternal grandparents family are from church's side they might hide some info to make him a true believer of the church but since Andrew is clock families successor he will know about all of that in the future but since he is 3 years old a strong belief will be born in the future thous his future decisions might be partially to church's favour.

Since all the people in the church are not Saint and good people he doesn't want Andrew to take clock family totally devoted to church and cause problem for their future generation.
