*The next will be slightly longer so look forward to it
*I never proofread so point out mistakes
*I want you guys to start giving me names because i have a really poor naming sense
Age: 3
Today is a very special day for me, as today i begin studies under 3 different mentors. My new combat teacher whom i'm heading to right now, my MAGIC teacher who starts teaching me next from noon to 4, and my mysterious war teacher, they seem to want to make me a general of brother's future kingdom. Ha i shall be the Emperor of my own country i shall be this world's weed mwhahaha.
Hilda was, as I've found out, a wondering B class adventurer who was heading to the demon continent. In her classes i have learned how to fit into almost all noble events, how to speak formally, and learned the general elf formal , the demon lord's, the dwarf chieftain's, human noble's, and beastmen chieftain's languages along with their less formal counterparts. Also for the higher nobility the amount of wives a ruler has dictates how much power they think they have. For example the emperor of the Holy Jisari Empire has 9 wives, and a new up and coming king to the empire's west had married 9 wives, basically saying that he was as strong as them. They wiped the floor with him and destroyed his entire kingdom causing it to fracture into a bunch of smaller kingdoms, it only took them 2 yrs to destroy them! SCARY!
My Father the king of The Bolbec Kingdom only has 3 wives. Our kingdom is considered to be a small one even though the landmass is about the same size as japan, and there are 13 kingdoms to the west and south of Jisari that vary from the size of Australia to China. With the beastmen empire that occupies the Eastern desert, both of the empires have been historical friends and are equivalent in land size to Russia, and there seems to be an academy for everyone with gifts mostly nobles located in the middle of a ring of mountains protected by stone dragons. That is the school Hilda attended and the one i will travel to on my 12th birthday, and that also ends my knowledge on the world from both Hilda and the library.
I am now also tall enough to see over the rim of the forge so after i finish my lessons i will also begin black smithing later and start forging my future armies weapons and gear mwhahaha. *Cough. Cough* Back to the present i look at the plain oak-ish door that leads to the private royal training grounds, i grip the hilts of my newly made scimitars, to adjust to my height standing at little over 3 and a half ft. I tailored myself a black scarf to hide the bottom half of my face and flicked some hair forward as a bang to cover my forehead leaving only my eyes and the tops of my cheeks exposed, also creating a new set of clothes that are baggy to hide my developing body and muscles. My shirt is black with golden cuffs and the sleeves open up at the ends with a slit in the back leaving my hands free to manipulate my weapons, my pants are sort of like Aladdin pants and are also black but solid black, and lastly my shoes are like Genie shoes, so to be able to easily hop out of them and onto my feet, they have the Bolbec royal insignia in gold on my right and silver on my left same as the ends of my scarf.
Mother forced me to add the color saying i don't want people mistaking me for an assassin. Ha mother so close if only you knew. My new scimitars are black and dull silver they're still made of wood, some i just found laying around in the wood carvers room so i decided to use it for my sword upgrades. Gripping the two handles with my left hand i pushed open the door with my right and slip through the crack and behind one of the pillars as quick as a ghost. The courtyard is built in a style similar to the Roman style with a hallway circling it and pillars supporting the roof for shade, the actual field in the center is 5 by 5 meters and filled with sand, and stone underneath while the sun shines down. In the center of the field is a man in his early twenties, supposedly my new teacher, in a position similar to seiza with a Celtic short sword at his knees or something similar to it.
Silently drawing out both of my swords i imbue my body with lightning and take a breath behind the pillar before another grin. To chill the reaper spreads across my face, reigning in my presence. I'm going to wipe the floor with him and if not, my smile gets bigger, i'm only 3 anyways.
Stepping from behind the pillar as fast as lightning and silent as a breeze i appear behind him striking for both of his shoulders, or i was supposed to but suddenly he was facing me and he had his sword stopping both of my blades slowly opening up his eyes i jump backwards a meter off the ground. As i shoot my tail at where he was i notice him in the spot where i'm going to land, retracting my tail and shooting back at him i solidify the air at my feet and kick myself towards him while blowing up a fire bomb to make myself go faster. He deflects my tail and as i reach him his sword starts to flow between my blades deflecting each attack, i start to speed up going faster and faster finally slipping past his defense and dislocating his left arm when suddenly i had a bad feeling and use my tail to push myself away from him just as his ki seemed to explode pushing me even further away. Four meters in the air i immediately switch to my bow and shoot off 15 arrows before i even start to fall.
His feet start to move and he dodges the arrows and the ones he can't dodge he deflects to the side i had slipped a couple throwing knives in behind the arrows but he seemed to know they were there even though he couldn't see them. Pulling my swords back out i charge my arms with all my electricity, set off bigger fire bombs at my feet, and imbue my legs with wind. Coming down like a lightning strike theirs a *BANG**BOOM* as i beak the sound barriers and start swinging for every vital point, but as we collide we make a miniature crater in the sand throwing it all up in the air and as i go faster and faster till i cant even see my own arms, his blades seem to be going in slow motion but everyone of my attacks are deflected or blocked.
Jumping back again i sheathe my weapons and look over to see him popping his shoulder back, in the fight i seem to have lost my scarf and my grin is plain to see he gives a childish grin back sheathing his own sword on his belt, while wiping off a light sheen of sweat on his forehead. Ha noob! Thinking that a drop of sweat falls into my eye. Guess you're not to bad walking over to him i shake his out stretched hand.
"Zeralith Bolbec, at your service."
"Marcus, i assume you're my disciple, and here i thought hey were taking me off the front line to train some pompous ass because i was to young. And i guess my brother wasn't lying about your skill."
"Brother?" Heyyy and here i thought we were going to get along, but now you insult my personality.
"The royal guard that you decided to fight on one of your runaway trips. But you you're pretty damn good, your enhancements were pretty sloppy though, like you just slapped the mana on and gave it an element." He said that with a smile
"..." That's exactly what i did. "How did you move so fast and block that last big blow of mine?"
"Oh that i just have some strong muscles and i imbued my arms with water, one of my abilities is the ability to deflect/block any attack i can see, But we have exchanged our greetings you should probably use the next 2 hours to deal with the whiplash."
"Whiplash?" Cocking my head. Fuck is that?
"Your enhancements weren't prepared for properly, used properly, or even maintained properly so you are probably going to experience some major recoil in a couple minutes it's advised, by me, to lay down on a bed for the first couple waves of it. So best hurry to your bed and this is no joke." Oh fuck that sounds bad. Looking at Marcus's, now serious, face gave me all the reason to start running for my room before exiting the door i take one last glimpse.
Marcus had blonde curly hair rolling down past his cheek, his chin had some stubble, nose was pretty straight but had a fracture in the middle looks like from a sword hilt, his face is suntanned yellow, and his eyes are a storm blue. I hate to admit but he would be on par with my future looks.
-10 minutes later
I just reached my room and the whiplash started to kick my ass 2 minutes ago pushing open the door, with what little strength i have left, i walk over to the bed when i notice sister dearest sleeping while holding one of my pillows like a snuggy. So cute but why is she here, wiping off some sweat still on my face as i fall onto the bed instantly asleep.
-2 hours later
Waking up i feel like a band of yakuza stabbed me with ice picks, believe me i know what it feels like, trying to sit up i notice that Jasmine was hugging my arm. God she's so light. Cupping the side of her face i give her a light zap to the face, only for her to wake up, her eyes opened up slowly and when she noticed how close my face is her eyes snap the rest of the way open, with a light blush.
"Sister dearest, you have hugged the feeling out of my arm, my body is in an extreme sense of pain, and i have a class to attends. So beloved can you release my arm from your clasp?" Saying all this while staring into her emerald eyes, she slowly let's go, and i stand up.
"If you're still sleepy you can go back to sleep." Immediately she laid down in the spot where i just was, as soon as her face touched the covers she recoiled, but quickly leaned back down and licked the covers passing out. What the fuck was that? Whatever i need to go. Using some water in a nearby washbucket, and wind magic i clean up my appearance before heading out to my next teacher.
-20 minutes later
My body is killing me, taking me twice as long to cover half the distance to my Mana teacher's room. Pushing open the door without knocking i see a man, seemingly in his late 20's but i know from mother he's close to over 200 years old, reading 3 books simultaneously. To tired to question it i sit across from him and lean back in the chair trying to relieve my muscles taking a glance around the room it seems to be the cliche wizards sanctum, with weird pulsing stones across the walls with books stacked haphazardly around the room his bed perched against a wall with the head rest looking as if it wants to crawl away from the rest of itself by going up the wall and a staff made of some fusion of material to make a black pulsing staff with a heart sized gem on top. The table we're sitting at has hundreds of runes printed across it with 3 identical runes under each book softly glowing as the wizard looks at the one in it's center.
Finally the wizard looks up from the book taking a cursory glance of me, his eyes slightly get bigger when looking opposite my heart before returning to a look of indifference to fast for a normal person to see. But, i'm not normal. Ha! You got a problem with my chest old man?!
"Not particularly no. And i can see you're not a normal person your mana pool is larger than most adults, your control of your core surpasses most B rank adventurers already, and you're only 3 yrs old that's mighty impressive."
Oh fuck are you Senior's brother. His hair is silver and i can just barely make out some elf ears poking through the back, while his eyes are a light red. An older version of senior? His features though seem to be slightly more sharp then a stereotypical elf, but still pretty smooth.
"Who is senior? Yes i'm a high elf. And stop talking about my face!"
No one told you to listen boss, and if you reveal my plans for world domination i will kill you! Now what am i going to be learning today.
He smirks at my comment of world domination. SMIRKS! "Oh calm down, we were going to be learning mana control, you seem to have your core under control so we might as well move onto your ambient mana so you don't randomly implode while casting magic."
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Implode why the hell would i implode! I didn't sign up for any random deaths!
"Your mana pool is your inner mana or more or less your reserve mana. Your ambient magic is the external and is nearly twice the size of your inner mana it is supposed to be what you learn first and get into the habit of using it instead of your inner mana pool. Using your inner mana causes extreme stress to the muscles, as i could see you figured out due to the repeated mana explosions earlier." A wry grin crosses his face. "Your ambient mana causes stress to the body but isn't nearly as stressful as using your inner, or we could just go straight to mana intensive spell casting~?"
You bastard teach me how to use my ambient mana!
"There are a limitless number of ways to use ambient mana and mana in general, but for now i'll teach you how to reign in your ambient mana." He put on a thinking face looking at me intensely. Hey boss i don't go that way so stop looking at me. "Close your eyes and imagine a hurricane raging around you reaching out a couple feet. Try to calm those waves and reign them in to a density of 1 foot."
Doing so i feel rejuvenated and can actually feel my muscles without wincing from pain, i start stretching each of my muscles internally to get them back into fighting condition. Then i condense my mana to half a foot but can't get it any smaller.
"You have a really finominal control of your mana and muscles it's actually pretty goddamn scary."
Hey elves aren't supposed to curse especially not high elves and i'm the only one who curses in this goddamn story you hear!
"What story are you talking about? How did you know i was a high elf, and why are we especially meant not to curse?" His face was completely serious the whole time. "Of course i'm serious."
Just forget it boss. What's next?
"Well since you're obviously so talented why don't you keep working on that till you can get it down to 4 inches. And then afterwards we will talk about races their magical affinities and the many uses of magic.
For the last 2 hours i have worked on mana control and barely got it down by 2 centimeters.
"Why are you talking in past tense, ten seconds haven't even passed."
Nothing boss. I will begin work immediately. I see how convenient this was for chu ask any questions and you don't even have to open your own mouth to ask it or get an answer.
"Get to work!"
-2 hours later
I couldn't even get it to 1 and a half centimeters. Boss has just been reading his books this entire time watching me out the side of his eye laughing on the inside at my struggles.
"Sorry it was just hilarious to watch you struggle." I! WILL! KILL! YOU! " Oh hush i knew it was to difficult it took me twenty years to get mine below a foot so you are doing better then i did. It's normally impossible for a human to be able to get it within a foot let alone under a foot so be proud."
Clapping me on the shoulder. This is not ok!
"Now lets start on racial affinities and capabiilities. Any specific questions?"
No.
"Ok, well lets start with the highest potential and drawbacks to the lowest, shall we?"
Whatever floats your boat.
"Draconians have the highest affinities and drawbacks as they can shapeshift but a normal dragon must pick only 5 elements to be proficient in while all others are blocked to them and are sometimes deadly if they try to use them. Only 3 draconians have had over 8 element affinities all 3 of them at a affinity count of 10. The current and only emperor of Sheasari, his first son, and his daughter. Draconians scales and hair( when in humanoid form ) change according to their affinities so the emperor and his children's scales are black flecked with gold and silver similar to your hair. Their mana however is massive and defense near impregnable so its unwise to even think of fighting them."
I will kill one of them for the reputation.
"I'll come by and pick up your corpse whenever you want me too."
No Faith!
"Not when on this side of the known world there are only two beings that can even hope to challenge the Immortal Emperor and put up a fight, two beings forever locked in battle much too busy to try and fight the Emperor."
Who are they because i will defeat them as well!
"You have some serious dreams you know kid!"
Who are they?!
"You seriously haven't heard of the Levaithans?"
No duh.
"OK the Leviathans are the beings hampering any ventures to the continents west and across the sea because every day they fight causing hurricanes and unholy fires and ice to spread across the surface of the water stopping any progress and if you get past that you will end up in the middle of their fight. They are basically gods of this part of the sea and can kill you with just a look or tap, rivaling the powers of sea dragons. Do you understand the gap in power, now?"
So if i kill them i can go to the other continent?
He facepalmed. "The dragon emperor doesn't even intervene in their fight. What can you do? And the animals over at the other continent are all A class and over what can you do? The rabbits over there can tear you limb from limb!"
What are A class animals.
"We're done you have 30 minutes till your next class go eat something."
Ok senior see you tomorrow he still had a look as if i was retarded painted across his face before sighing and looking back at his books. That's right bitch read your books!
"What did you say~?"
I was out the door and halfway to the kitchen by the time he had looked back at the door.
All along the right wall was a mural depicting the settling and 300 years of this kingdom. From the conquering and integration of several clans on the eastern side of the island before moving onto conquer the rest and the start of the war with the Angved vikings till present day depicting the heroic sea battles of father slaying enemies jumping from ship to ship.
Reaching the kitchen someone touched my back near the bottom sending shivers up my spine. I turn around to see Florence with his hand on me and a questioning look on his face.
"Master i thought you had classes? Don't tell me you're ditching."
"..."Don't be silly Florence do you know how long i have been waiting to start lessons?
"Master?"
Oops forgot he can't read minds. "Don't be silly Florence you know how long i have been waiting to start these lessons. I just came to get something to eat before heading over to my next tutor." He still hadn't removed his hand from my back and i'm still deciding if i want him to. Wait, no i'm not get your hand off my back.
"Florence can you take your hand off my back?"
His face flushed as he retracted his hand. "Sorry master, i didn't mean to."
"It's ok i didn't mind. Let's go eat." Where the fuck did that come from and did i really just say that! His face got even redder after my statement. Oh shit now i did it.
-25 minutes later
Me and Florence had finished eating and parted ways in front of the door to the mystery man's room. I watched his hips him walking away he sure is growing up, i push open the door when he turns the corner, and walk into the room. The room s barren, but for a man sitting in the center on the short side of a long table, easily 4 meters long and 2 wide. Getting tired of these people sitting in the middle of the room or at a table when i meet them. Do you guys just find a table or sit in the middle of the room when you hear you're going to meet me? Let's see, if i back up, and wait for a couple hours, will he still be sitting there. A gruff voice came from the man as i started to back up.
"Are you coming in or do i have to drag you in?"
Sheesh! Here i come. Drawing closer to the table i stand to his right. The table seems to be model of the Bolbec island relatively flat and straight except for the southern mountain range and a couple of hills and valleys scattered around the island.
"Hello, young prince i only hear good things regarding you, your combat prowess, mana control and size are all above the average for a normal man." I have a smug smile in my mind but my face remains expressionless. "That means nothing in my class and today shall mark the beginning of your lessons now sit at the other side of the table."
Pointing to a chair that materialized, i walk over to it and notice a couple of really complex runes situated on the seat and on the sides of the table.
"Stop admiring the table and sit down already!"
Plopping down in the chair i suddenly lose my senses and everything goes black. What happened? Oh god did that bastard kill me?! Then i have a disembodied feeling and seem to be looking at the table from overhead i turn smoothly and see my body lazily lounging in the chair.

"I see you move in your mana state freely, you truly are an abnormal individual, but now onto lessons. Look down at the board." Waiting for me to orient myself. "This board and the chairs slow our souls down to 1/5 the original speed so 1 minute in our real bodies is five in here. The game we are about to play for the next 2 weeks in RWT is 1 day per second so in game it will be 5 seconds per day to the inhabitants of the game it will feel like 480 years but to us it will be around 1008000 seconds, or 280 hours, or 11.7 days when in reality it's only 56 hours. In the first version of the game we will play as directing gods and lead our civilization from landing, to settling, to conquering the other 20 odd tribes, and then onto each other. Every 35 years 3 months 21 days we shall take a break till the next day understood?"
I nod my head vigorously or try to before realizing i have no head. "Yeah i get it so are we gonna start?"
To be continued
