Note this when reading, kids two and three years old in this world are about as strong as kids five years old in our world.

*********************************************************************************************************

By the end of my first month as a one year old, I was able to walk and I managed to come up with three plans on how to get some books, so I can practice reading. Plan number 1, be a genius baby. Plan number 2, sneak around a night to get some books. Plan number 3, wait to learn how to read the language. There were many faults with each of them such as for plan 1, I'd have to reveal my intelligence, which would have unknown downsides. Plan 2, is good but they might think a thief took them. And finally, plan 3, isn't good because I may need to know how to read, earlier than when I could get some books.

Days after I reviewed my original plans, I thought up a new one. The new plan is me waiting until I am two years old and then I will start reading because they will probably not think I'm reading but looking at the symbols. I decided to use this plan, but I still have lots of time until then, so to pass the time I had to come up with another plan, experimenting with my ability.

***Experimentation***

On the first day I tried to see what I can make and destroy. Let's start with that rock, I thought as I crawled to a rock. Let's began, I will you the rock to destroy...didn't work. How the heck do I do this. I spent that entire day trying to make my ability work, but nothing happened in the end.

The next day I tried to destroy a rock again, but it still didn't work so I sat down to analyze the situation. God said that I need to use my will, which relies on my soul, which will increase and so will my mana capacity. That's actually useful because I don't have to meditate to gain mana I just need to use my ability. Anyway, how to use my will, is the real question that needs to be answered. Maybe I just need to concentrate on something and think of it being destroyed, no it can't be that simple. Or can it? Maybe that is the answer to my problem, but if that's the case this was actually very simple and

easy to do. The next day I tried my new method and it worked, so I learned that I can only destroy and make rocks that are as big as my tiny fist. So I continued to practice day after day for about three months until I was able to destroy and create rocks twice as big as my body.

During the next eight months until I was two I started to make my practice harder and harder for fun. Everyday I destroyed and made as many rocks as I could, as large as I could and as much as I could. Then at the end of practice I tried to destroy and create bugs and grass, but I couldn't until I was twenty two months old. I didn't only practice my ability, I also practiced reading and writing whenever I could secretly get my hands on a book. When I was almost two years old, I finally finished learning how to read and write the language. But, besides learning how to read and write, I also learned some more information about my new world. The things I learned included that the world is called Dret and this continent is called Tuol. I also learned that there are five kingdoms in total and the names of the kingdoms are Salabar, Fridsucht, Muindi, Weria and Tebal. The kingdom of Salabar is the youngest while Weria is the oldest kingdom. The kingdom of Salabar doesn't specialize in anything and is an all around kingdom that isn't strong nor weak in any aspect. The kingdom of Fridsucht is more like a republic of merchants than a kingdom and is the wealthiest of them all. Muindi is the kingdom of magic and it has the largest force of magi on the continent. The kingdom of Weria is the kingdom of warriors and is the strictest when it comes to corruption, the breaking of laws and traditions. Lastly, the kingdom of Tebal has the strongest military and every citizen would be ranked four or five on a scale of ten for personal power, because they all are trained from the time they're seven until they're fourteen. Where I live isn't in any of the kingdoms, but in a tribe led by the Naevius clan. The last thing I learned is that the math system in this world is almost identical to my old one, but with different names for numbers.

One day about three months after I turned two, I met my first 'friends' in this world. It actually started out like a normal day until...

I just finished my training when I noticed some one watching me. "Shit," I whispered quietly to myself, "did they see me?"

"Hey you, what's your name!" A boy yelled over to me. He has brown hair and green eyes and appears to only be two or three.

I knew it didn't matter if he knew my name or not so I said, "My name is Ryul Wyrick, what is your name?"

He walked towards me and said, "My name is Nerolyn Naevius, but you can just call me Nero. Nice to meet you, Ryul."

"Nice to meet you too, Nero," I said hoping he wouldn't bother me too much. Or even better if he didn't notice my ability and stops bothering me.

I knew he wanted something and I waited until he said, "Anyway, Ryul, me and some friends are playing war, but we don't have enough people today, so do you want to play?"

Agh, I don't feel like I have a choice and I don't want to play...Wait a minute, wait a minute! Can't I use this to build up relations, so I can make him my minion? Yes, yes I can. This is starting to look really good on my part. "Sure, I'll play, what are the teams?"

Two boys started walking over after I said that, so I guess they're his friends. The one on the left introduced himself first, "Hello, Ryul was it? I'm Walter Norvolos. And the guy next to me is Seron Geudrn."

"Nice to meet you two." I said getting happier because I could possibly gain three minions.

Nero got our attention and said, "The teams are you two against me and Ryul. Now before we began, let me tell Ryul the rules."

Walter and Seron immediately yelled, "No, you always explain them wrong to cheat, let us explain the rules. Ryul, the rules are simple we fight each other until the other side gives, but no attacking after you or your opponent have given up, okay?"

The rules were very easy so why did they say okay. "Yes, I get the rules." I replied slightly annoyed by the way they said it.

"Okay then, go!" They yelled as they charged at me, but I quickly made a few rocks appear in their running path and managed to trip them.

Nero said, "Good job, Ryul," as we closed the distance between us and them and then unleashed our brutal attack.

"We give up, we give up!" Walter and Seron yelled after a few hits.

A few minutes later we were all, including me, talking excitedly about the match. "Hahahahaha, that was so funny! You guys fell while charging at Ryul and ended up falling and then getting attacked!" Nero said, stating the obvious. "I wonder how we fell, I didn't think there were any rocks there before," Walter said which got me a little bit panicked, but I din't show it. "Yeah, I wonder how those rocks got there?" Seron said, which made me even more panicked, but I stopped panicking when Nero said, "You guys are just being sore losers, of course there were rocks there."

A few minutes later we all went home. When I got back My Mom asked me where I was all day, so I told her about my new friends and she just told me to be careful. I then realized that I got so caught up in the situation that I completely forgot about whether he saw my ability or not.

Over the next four months my schedule changed a bit, I would practice in the morning and then I would play with my friends in the afternoon. This went smooth until other children started showing up to play with us.

"No, girls aren't allowed to play with us!" Nero yelled at two girls, as I sighed inside my mind, knowing that one day he would be trying to date girls.

One of the two girls then used a very good argument, "Why not?"

Nero, not knowing the danger of angry girls, pissed her off by saying, "Girls can't play because they're weaker than boys."

The girl then ran forward and punched Nero in the face sending him flying three or for feet. I, being the genius I am, used the most powerful sentence at my disposal, to not get hit.

I raised my hands and said, "I surrender don't hit me. You guys can play if you want." They all turned towards me with somewhat surprised expressions.

Before they could say anything I spoke again, "There is one condition however, I want to be on your team."

The girl was about to reply, but Nero spoke out first, "Ryul, you traitor! How could you surrender, I thought you were on our side!?!?" He said with a combination of confusion and surprise.

I, knowing the charming fellow I am(lol), said, "Nero, Nero, Nero. You don't understand this yet. Right now you won't like girls, but when you're older you're are going to do almost anything to be with one."

"What, no way, you're lying!" Nero yelled, starting to get a bit angry.

I backed up my case with, "Nero, look at your mom and dad. They are together because one of them pursued the other. One day, you too will pursue a girl to marry." I stopped after I said that because I noticed that I was stepping on something that shouldn't be known about until he was older.

Before Nero could say anything, the two girls said to me, "You're weird," and then continued onto Nero, "We WILL play, but we don't want to be on his team." They said pointing at me. I guess I did say something to make myself seem weird.

And the last thing we did before starting was introduce ourselves. The two girls names were Alice and Sena. They were both from the Gersarchis clan.

That day was how two girls joined us four boys in playing our game. My thought about the girls was soon proven true, because what I realized was that they were the only two there with animal ears. This means that they are probably stronger because they have more beast blood. That first day I went home went several cuts and scrapes.

Everything was normal for the next five months, but when I was almost three, none of my friends could come to play anymore because they started their training. Nero has to train to be the leader of the tribe because he was the heir to the tribe's leader's clan. Walter had to train in money management and buying and selling things because he lived in a clan of merchants. Seron, Alice and Sena all had to do warrior training, but they went to the same place to do it.

(That moment when you give someone friends and then take them away.)
