In the 16 years I've been reborn, I have come to the conclusion that this isn't the Midgard I used to know, this is a different dimensional plane entirely. But even so, I still wonder if this world too is interconnected with Yggdrasil, after all, "the tree that connects all worlds", is what it's called. If that is true, then I fear that the gods will come find me and kill me once and for all. I don't want that to happen, I just want to live a joyful life, is all. But for that to be plausible, I will have to get stronger.
Though lacking physical and magical capabilities to fight against the gods, this body can be trained to a level that can rival the gods.
You see, we gods have a limit to our power, a certain peak which we can never get over. We don't know why it's there but it's there, and it is fucking annoying. But now that I'm a mortal I have the one thing that mortals have and gods dream of,
Infinite potential.
After class, I headed home and packed some essentials, I wouldn't be home for a long time so I packed a month's worth of food and I plan to just hunt monsters for food once I run out. I don't think I can explain why I'm doing this, to my parents, but I guess I'll leave them a note.
"Alright, It's time to go."
I lived in the higher area as my family is quite wealthy. This city, I have indeed come to love it. But, all good things must come to an end.
As I walk the city streets through the lower areas to the city gate I am stopped by a guard whom I give the most wonderful dream with a sleeping spell. Then off I went, to go who knows where doing who knows what during a journey that may or may not come to an end eventually. May fate decide the outcome. But if fate goes against my favor then I shall change my fate with my own hands and return to my joyful life.

I woke up to a piece of paper on my face. It seemed to be a letter, It said, "To my dearest mother and father, The time has come for me to leave. There is nothing for me here but dullness. Though I enjoy the peace, It does not suit me after all. I have went on a journey that I may not return from, but do not worry, I have no regrets. And though you may not understand my reason for leaving, know that you can be proud of your son for doing what he wants to do. Thank you for everything." Sincerely yours, Henry

It was a letter from my darling son. He has gone on a journey. Though as if having a hundred knives striking my heart I will not cry, this is after all my son's decision, The best son I could ever ask for.
I woke my husband up and he read the letter, after which he looks at me in the eyes with a satisfied look on his facd and says, "We have succeeded as his parents, dear. Our biggest wish has come true. So let's do our best to continue living and wait for him to return."
"Of course, dear." I said with the biggest and most satisfied smile I have ever had in my life.

"Man, this place really isn't the Midgard I know. Everything on this map is different." I said with a big sigh whilst walking through the woods on the outskirts of the city.
Teleportation would be really handy right now but I can only use it if I've been to the destination before, and I've yet to explore the outskirts of this city which is only one of many on this continent.
As I wander deeper into the forest I spot a goblin army with a reasonable amount of ogres and hobgoblins which seemed to be heading straight into the direction I came from. I guess that's a monster wave I've been told in school about? Since I'm here I might as well annihilate them and give the city guard a short break.
I catch them by surprise with a level 2 spell called Inferno which sets an area on fire. Though I expected that I had to cast a few spells to get rid of them all because of their size, that seemed to rival the orc army in the Lord of the Rings, It seems 1 Inferno was enough.
Despite being such a weak spell ordinarily, my mastery of magic which is literally God Level makes everything I cast atleast 500x better than it usually is. And because of this, I didn't want to risk using magic in the city so all I did was research spells and increase this body's mana control. And even then I still underestimated the power of the spell.
How terrifying I've become.
When I was a god I didn't really understand how powerful my magic was since all the other gods were as strong as me or stronger and ordinary spells could not faze them. But now that I've been reborn as a mortal, I understand fully. If I still had my power from then, I could probably annihilate the entire planet. I guess that's why we were forbidden to go to Midgard. Anyway, enough thinking of the past, time to move.
