This world is frickin nuts, first the entertainment thing and now, as it turns out, I am not even a complete human!?

It’s one thing if the bloodline is of some epic creature like dragon or phoenix or that creature I made for one of my novels that is the god of that world but no! I have the bloodline of a cat!

I am pretty sure I was 100% human the last time I checked.

How do bloodlines work anyway!

While my thoughts were going on a field trip of their own, I had unknowingly moved very close to the ‘system’.

The surprise about the bloodline had almost made me forget the bubbling excitement inside me.

I moved closer to the system till my orb like body was touching the crystal.

I imagined a fireball being cast by me and with a sudden shift in surroundings I found myself in almost empty white room with a wooden dummy being the sole thing inside of it.

I went from looking like a orb to looking like I did in my previous life

My mana had rose to 23 in the meantime so I had enough mana to cast the spell twice.

“Fireball!” I tried shouting and while I heard nothing I felt something being drained from my body.

The air in front of my hands turned slightly red a fireball slowly materialized in front of me.

My hand were shaking from excitement as I felt the heat from the floating flame and the feeling of accomplishing an almost 70 year old goal.

I looked towards the wooden target and willed the fireball to go hit it.

The fire ball flew at a speed not too fast and hit the target’s head which resulted in a firecracker like explosion.

“Fireball” I once again tried it, just to confirm that it wasn’t a fluke and…

Sure enough, it hit the target once more.

“My go-goal, it’s been done. After all this time, my goal is finally complete.”

This had completed my life long quest to use magic. But why does my heart yearn for more?

I had lived long enough in my previous life to truly understand myself. And I know this wasn’t enough for me. How can the old madman be truly satisfied with just this fireball…

I felt a tear travelling on my cheek like a drop of dew that falls of the leaf when the sun rises.

I will achieve the greatest heights possible with magic, learn everything there is to learn about it and then, maybe, my heart will be satisfied.

Not wanting any adverse effects of trying to use the spell with less mana than required I decided it was enough for today.

I exited the soul space to look whether my parents were home or not.

And nope, I felt tired from the overexcitement and decided to close my eyes for a little bit and soon I was in the dream land…

“I completed the task my lord” Ignia said while bowing down towards his lord, the god of sun.

“Very well, go back to earth for another century. There might be some problems regarding those in a decade or 2. Summon me when they arrive” The voice resounded throughout the hall as always.

“I had a question my lord”

“Speak” the god asked. The gods were almighty beings that could turn any demigod into ashes but the powers of the demigods allowed them to escape the thought listening powers of the system.

“Why send him to Edward? We know he will run off to him sooner or later now that he knows that there is someone who can teach him magic. But what use was reincarnating his parents and spending so much divinity in summoning him from a different universe just to send him to the mages we can’t observe?”

“There is joy in seeing how his story will end through the perspective of others, now that he knows it’s all for the sake of our entertainment, he will for sure not accept the offers of becoming the demigod of other gods.

Therefore he might be killed by an adventurer, or die in the hellhole they spend so much time and lives constraining, no matter what his end will be fun to watch”

Ignia silently bowed towards him and went off to his next quest.

Wondering whether the new toy of the gods would have lived a happier life if had not come under the radar of the sun god.

“haaa” He sighed and disappeared from the sun god’s palace.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

I was woken up by the voice of the gate opening. I saw my parents arriving inside with happy looks on their faces.

“He really is our lucky charm” mom said while pointing at me. “Ever since he was born one good thing after other has started happening”

“true” my father replied “First we managed to fully buy this house from the village and then the king announced that there will be no tax for 3 years because he finally had a son”

“By the way, have you decided what to name our son? I asked you when I was pregnant and you said you will tell me later.

“I want to name him Eric, Eric evelyn”

“Why do I feel that this name is really important?”

“Because it is the name of your son from now on stupid”

“What did you say!” my mother said before picking up her sandal and chasing after dad.

It’s like their personalities were photocopied from when they were young back on earth. It truly brings a smile to my face seeing them being able to walk and run around again.

“Hey! Look at our son, he is smiling looking at us” Dad said while trying to run away from mom. She looked at me and sure enough I was still smiling.

Soon the day turned into night and I was laying next to mom and dad, supposed to sleep.

But obviously I wouldn’t sleep when I could literally shoot fire outta my as… hands, I mean hands.

I once again entered my soul space and first decided to look at my status.

And I have recovered all my mana at the very least. I entered the training hall or whatever it was called and immediately used all my mana by casting fireball 10 times.

The interesting thing was that when I threw the fireball 8 times I had the system screen pop up

Congratulations on using the fireball spell 10 times! Your proficiency with the spell increased by 5 percent which increasing damage of the spell by 1 percent and speed of the spell by 0.5 percent. For the next milestone use the spell 40 times.

Wasn’t the increase kind of small?

Completely exhausting my mana made me kind of dizzy for maybe 10 seconds but after that I was fine. Anyways I wanted to explore this space due to not being able to use fireball for 10 minutes or so.

The place was kind of small, not much bigger than the grassland in overall volume. It was surrounded by walls around 3 meters high on all sided and there wasn’t really something I could use to climb the wall to look what was on the other side.

I waited till I had about 50 mana and immediately used the spell 5 more. All this time had a huge grin on my face.

Throughout the night my grin slowly transformed into a frown. This didn’t feel right, No matter how many times I used it I didn’t understand how it worked.

…

Slowly the new day came, then the next and then the day after that. I tried many things like controlling the mana in my body or trying to manipulate my voice but it didn’t work.

It was like the spell wasn’t my own.

The clog of time slowly turned and it made me realize that increasing the proficiency was the sole way of making the spell better in anyway.

I began to understand that the system why the system felt alien to me when I first visited the soul space. It was because the power it gave didn’t belong to the person but to the system itself.

I had a feeling that the power, the spells could be taken away as easily as they were given.

And with nothing better to do, like the madman I was, I decided to try to raise the proficiency of the spell as much as possible and then leave to find Edward. Because this is not magic, this is just a game of the system and the gods.

On the second largest peak of the eastern ranges.

There was a small tower at the top of the mountain, there were many people flying towards the tower in complete silence. A young man entered the building and was greeted by rows and rows of stairs leading downstairs.

He starting heading downstairs. There was no sound of his footsteps because his feet were always and inch or 2 above the stairs.

He soon arrived in a conference hall with a huge table surrounded by chairs on all sides. About half the chairs were already filled. He sat down at the far end of the table away from the main throne like seat that belonged to the greatest demigod ever born, Edward.

Soon all the seats were filled but people kept arriving, some were standing behind the seats and some made seats with earth magic.

Edward appeared out of no where with a cup of tea in his hand and the meeting started.

“I called all of you today” Edward said out loud “To decide the time of war!”

“so soon?” “ I thought it would take a while” “Do we only have 1 demigod?” murmurs started going round the hall like spooked rabbits running from a loin.

Edward raised his hand to silence everyone present. He spoke again,

“We still need thousands of demigods to just match the amount of demigods they have and I am the only demigod of the mage society but the rules are the rules, we have to launch war against humans atleast once in a thousand years in order to survive”

“ENOUGH!” A old mage in all black stood up and shouted.

“For how long do we have to waste young talents in order to entertain the gods!?”

“Do you have any better option sir Farion? All we can do is wait, wait for a mage to become a god, hide around till we have enough to match the gods and then we fight” Another mage replied

“And is that even possible? What are the chances that the gods won’t just kill us if they get ahold of something more interesting?” Farion sat down after saying this.

“Calm down all of you” Edward said “The mage society has never stopped advancing since the gods came and conquered our world, I alone am confident enough to defeat 5 or 6 demigods of that time, if not for the rule of gods that only one mage demigod can exist at any given moment we would have gathered enough demigods and even some gods long ago”

“We battle after about 130 years in the season of winter. Try to raise the next generation of mages before dying off.”

After saying this Edward once again disappeared and mages started leaving or teleporting one after the other.

Farion stood up and came next to the young man we followed to arrive at this place.

“Let’s go young one, you have yet to learn a lot before the fight arrives”

“Yes sir” The young man spoke for the first time after arriving in the hall.

Farion stood up and after placing one hand on the shoulder of his disciple they too disappeared.
