When we reached the church I saw 2 more children standing there already. As the awakening was conducted on the 12th birthday of a person, many times only a single child will go for the awakening.

The churches in this world were polytheistic. In other words, they had the statues of almost all the gods in them.

The church was pure white in color, with golden threads adorning the building in some places. Grand is a word that could perfectly describe its appearance in one word.

The large gate of the church opened and the priest of the church, a strict old man, beckoned for us to follow him.

Me, along with my family and the 2 kids who were here alone for some reason entered the church with the priest.

Just like the outside, the inside of the church was equally grand is not grander.

It was a huge circular hall, with a huge glass ball in the center and more than a hundred statues of abstract things like the sun, the moon, stars, fire and water were surrounding the hall’s circumference.

“Come here child” the priest said to me, gesturing me to come near the glass orb.

Mom gave me an encouraging nod as I went forward and stood in front of the orb.

“Place your hands on the orb” I did what was asked.

“Oh the great gods, the protectors of us mortals, Give this poor child a speck of your powers and bless him with a class!”

Just then the statue depicting the sun lit up. I felt my heart growing a little warm, and then, the system screen appeared in front of me.

My eyes froze on the sight of the legendary class and the new spells

Had he not said I will be given a farmer class? What did just happen?

I heard the priest congratulating my parents and them looking at me happily. Maybe there is no need to visit the rebels after all?

We reached home in a blur. I ran to my room immediately after reaching home and entered the now familiar training room in my soul space.

I raised my hands, my hand shaking in excitement.

“Sun burst” I said and felt myself become drained almost immediately. A huge ball of fire appeared before me and hit the target with a loud band.

If the fireball ball spell was a firecracker than this spell was a frickin bomb.

I looked at my hands.

This spell still feels mechanical in nature, I wasn’t in control of any part of the spell. It still felt like a game rather than real magic.

‘Sigh!’ I exited the soul space and was back among the living.

In another hour, I, along with the 2 kids who awakened with me will start the journey towards the city.

The fact that they never thought us how to fight was a thing that I find very weird but seeing how the system gives power without an ounce of hardwork required, I could understand that no one would train when they would be spoon fed everything later.

And while there are beasts in the forest, the ones that can do real harm to anyone were all intelligent enough to not attack humans.

I went downstairs, mom was dad were sitting together while holding hands.

“And look whose here! A legendary class mage! After maybe a month or 2 we would have to bow down before you when you arrive”

“No mom, I am pretty sure you would beat me with a slipper if I even mention you bowing before me.”

“You know me, just wait till you become a really big person. Then I will beat you and then I can brag how I beat Eric Evelyn”

“I forgot to ask but, where will you go in eastern ranges?” dad asked.

“An academy, I got invited by half a god”

Dad thought I was jesting and glared at me. I can’t even tell a truth nowadays.

The other explanation, that I am going to the ancient mages to learn magic which will make me the enemy of the whole world and the gods.

I wonder how the heck no book ever mentions any of the crazy stuff in the world, it’s almost like the gods don’t want the common people to know about the mages and wars and stuff.

Time had passed like a river in this small house. I studied a little, played around with that spell, had existential crises, learned how to read and write and enjoyed the company of my parents for the last 12 years.

And now, I would leave for the greater wider world.

While most children would go to academies alone at the age of 12, I, a ‘child’, will be going on an epic quest to acquire magic that felt like magic, power that belonged to me.

I bid farewell to my parents, mom cried a lot, and even dad shed a tear for his son.

I went to the village gate where a carriage with the twins from earlier already in it was parked.

Along with the twins the carriage was filled with grain for trade. Such carriages left the village every month, and any awakened kids would go with the grain to the city in order to get admitted to any academy.

I sat down too, and then the month long journey started.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

“What’s your name” The male twin asked me.

“Eric, yours?”

“My name is Ronn and this is my sister Hermoinne”

DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET HARRY Dumbledoor had asked calmly as far as I remember.

“Is your friend named Harry potter?”

“I do have a friend named Harry Proter but how did you know?

This guy…

I didn’t say anything and just sat while looking outside.

On earth if a 12 year old child was going somewhere far from home for more than a week, their parents would certainly go with them but not here.

The age of awakening was somewhat like turning 18 back on earth. You gained a lot of freedom to move around from the day of awakening.

The age to get married was still the somewhat acceptable 16 years old but that was the one thing that didn’t matter to me.

A wise man once said that a person can only have one true love. In my past life it was writing. In the current it was magic.

And you can’t exactly get married to writing or magic.

“What is your class eric?” The female twin, hermoinne, asked with her eyes sparking with curiosity.

“Farmer”

“Ehh! Don’t lie, there isn’t any legendary class of farmer profession” It seems she had paid attention to the fact that I awakened a legendary class but didn’t know my class.

“But there is, Its called the sun farmer”

She pouted and turned her head away from me.

One easy way to handle kids was to just give them silly answers. They would naturally shut up after a while.

“But seriously what is your class?” Ronn asked

“Sun Farmer”

He pouted and turned his head away from me. Like sister like brother I guess.

…

It had been a week since we left the village.

According to the calculations I made before leaving and the currently visible mountain directly in front, I had to leave tonight and then go towards east for 3 days in order to reach the village closest to the eastern ranges.

Everyone on the carriage was required to bring their own food so I was safe in that regard and I had brought a bow for self-protection.

As for why a bow and not something like a sword or a dagger, I had a knife in my pocket right now and I, being a man of many hobbies in my past life had learned archery for a solid 10 years.

Even in this life I shot an arrow or 2 every day in order to maintain my skills.

And the question why a bow at all? Because I will run out of mana after firing about a 100 fireballs. Even though I was only carrying 10 arrows with me, it was 10 extra chances of saving my life from any sort of enemy.

These 2 twins both had C-grade classes, with the boy being a healer and the girl a warrior.

I wonder if there is anyway of increasing the grade of classes, after all the grade limited the rank a person could reach in his or her life.

As an example this boy could become a C-rank healer if he worked hard but had no chance at all of reaching B-rank with his class.

I could become higher than a S ranker with my class at the very least, but due to lack of information I was not really sure about what rank was my maximum.

What I was more interested in knowing was that how did the rebels came to be known as rebels. How have they managed to not get wiped out when the opponents are literal gods?

I guess I will know soon.

Screech

The carriage slowly stopped and me, along with the twins jumped out of the carriage. We had arrived at the base of the Mountain the 2 ‘uncles’ driving the carriages had decided to stop for today.

I took out a piece of jerky from the huge bag of jerky mom had prepared for the trip and started munching on it.

The 2 middle aged men prepared a fire and sat down each holding a piece of jerky of their own.

I sat near the carriage waiting for night to fall and all the members of the group to fall asleep.

Tonight is the night of the start of another round of adventures in the life of Eric Evelyn.
