Ares adapted to his new world very quickly. In fact, when he was 8 months old, he was already able to talk. He never talked around his parents because he felt they wold have high expectations for him and he didn't want that.

"I'm really hungry.", Ares said with his stomach grumbling

Ares crawled into the kitchen and spotted the brownies on the counter.

"ah...there so far up, I wish it could just appear in front of me.", Ares complained

As soon as Ares said that, the brownie that was on the counter started to slide to end of the table, but stopped there.

"Wow that was cool, wonder if I could move it again?", Ares thought with his eyes gleaming with excitement

As soon as Ares attempted to use his telekinesis again, Adria walked in to the kitchen.

"What is it little Ares, you want a brownie.", Adria said

Ares quickly nodded his head in agreement. His mother then gave him the brownie and he quickly gobbled it up. As soon as Ares finished eating the brownie, he felt a surge of energy spread through his entire, but he just shrugged it off. Although Adria did not realize it, the brownie Ares ate was actually a Legendary Artifact that increases one's potential to be a high-level magician or a warrior. Ares' father, David, found this artifact while adventuring the Holy Forest.

In Ares' new world, after the discovery of life on other planets, humans also discovered a strange substance called mana. Many scientists were interested in this substance and after many years, they were finally able to understand it. Inside every single living being, even ants, there is a spirit. This spirit houses a being's spiritual essence, Also known as their potential to grow, their ki-center, which gathers and transmits the energy source used by warriors, and their mana core, which gathers and transmits the energy source used by magicians.

The two types of spirit users are divided into two as warriors and magicians. Both warriors and magicians have rankings in their power from letter Z all the way to letter A. Warriors can be divided into to groups such as swordsmen and hunters. The only difference between the two is that swordsmen use swords and hunters use ki-powered wepons, such as bows and guns. Magicians can be divided into 7 groups, fire magicians, wind magicians, water magicians, earth magicians, dark magicians, light magicians, and lightning magicians. The only difference between all of them is that they use different spells from the other groups.

A warrior, whether they are a swordsman or a hunter, can choose between two ways to increase their power. One path they can choose is to cultivate their ki so that they can combine it with their attacks and use it when needed. Another path they can choose is body strengthening, this path fuses the users ki with their body, strengthening every aspect of their body. Although this path is more powerful than cultivating their ki, it is thousands of times harder than the other path even if the user has exceptional spiritual essence. Out of every million warriors, only one would be a body strengthening warrior.

Although magicians are more powerful than ki-cultivating warriors of the same letter, they need a very high amount of spiritual essence, in fact they need 10 times more spiritual essence than an ordinary person.

In the blink of an eye, it was a week away from Ares' 5th birthday. Ever since Ares had eaten that brownie when he was 8 months old, his spirit had been absorbing its spiritual essence and his spirit had grown exponentially. At this moment, his father who rarely spends time with him was signaling him to come over.

"Son, now that you are almost 5 years old its time for you to have your potential tested.", David said with an emotionless face.

David then explained to Ares that he could become a warrior or a magician.

"I understand father, but how do you test me.", Ares replied

David then pulls out a clear, transparent orb with a blue tint.

"Put your hand on this orb and leave it there for 30 seconds"

"Ok"

Ares then put his hand on the orb and it started to glow brightly. After 30 seconds, his father was shocked and confused.

"What is it father, what is my potential.", Ares said curiously

Although Ares was more intelligent and wise than most kids his age since he had a past life, he still had the curiosity of a 4 year old.

"How is this possible, it must be broken.", David said with a confused look

"Son, I'm going to take you to a Bay academy expert, they should know what's going on"

The results that Ares got on his test showed that his potential was 15 times higher than an ordinary person. For a late teenager, these results would mean that he is only highly talented, but the reason his father was shocked was because before a child went through puberty, their potential would only be a tenth of what it would be after puberty. This was nothing strange for Ares though because he had been absorbing the brownie ever since he was a toddler.

"What! His spirit essence his 15 times higher than a normal person!", Adria said unbelievabley

"We absolutley have to send him to an academy", She continued

"Well, that's what I was planning to do." David replied scratching his head

The next day, the family ordered a carriage to come and pick up Ares to go to the entrance exam.

After a day of traveling, he finally reached Bay academy and it was crowded with kids who were around his age.

He had to wait 5 hours before he was able to see the examiner.

The boy in front of Ares who looked like a noble with his fancy, blue patterned robe looked back at him.

"Get ready to be impressed by my scores", he said quickly turning back around

On the examiner's table there was a crystal orb similar to his fathers, but it was of higher quality and it had strange carvings in it.

"Put your hand on the orb and hold it there for 30 seconds", the examiner said.

The boy did as the examiner said and the orb glowed, but it wasn't as bright as Ares'.

The examiner shouted,"High spiritual essence, high-quality mana-transmitter, and low-quality ki-transmitter".

The boy turned back around again to Ares.

"See I told you I would have impressive results, by the way, my name is Parker. Whats yours?", he said beaming with pride

"I'm Ares"

"Oh, just like the god of war"

"Next"

Ares calmly walked up to the examiner and followed his instructions.

After holding his hand on the orb for 30 seconds, the examiner rubbed his eyes as if he was hallucinating and he was hesitant to say anything.

"Legendary spiritual essence, Legend-quality ki-transmitter, and n...non-existent mana-transmitter"

The moment the examiner shouted a silent hush fell upon the crowd.
