When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was a ceiling. Wait… Why am I breathing?

This is strange, I should have died? Or maybe, this is a hospital room. 

I saw a woman nest to me who came closer. She was a truly gorgeous woman who really shouldn’t be a nurse, she really should have been an idol or something?

“Oh… how cute this boy, is, too bad his parents died before he even saw them.”

Wait… My parents died ages ago? What is she talking about? And is that even a nurse suit!? What the hell is going on!!!!

And… a boy?

“Well, what should your name be? Yeah… I’ve decided, I’ll name you Mark!”

Hey!! don’t go naming people on your own violation like that!! And Mark is such a common name!!

And is this the famous reincarnation so many people were talking about? So… I raised up my hands, yes, soft, plump, and full of life. I guess I’ll stay this way for a while.

Part 2

Six BORING years passed by. Well, not exactly boring, its just pure tired feeling of doing almost nothing. I discovered who was talking to me.

Turns out, I was an orphan boy(Thank whoever send me here and made me a boy.) who, 

apparently, is being taken cared of in an orphanage. The size of the orphanage is similar to your normal sized house, with a big backyard in the back.

Aside from me, there are a total of 12 other orphans,5 girls and 7 boys. They are of course all older than me,

The woman who took care of me was named Rayna. An elf from the forest far away in the mountains. 

Her body was slender and her ears were long. I once asked her about how long an elf’s lifespan is, she answered that it is roughly the same as normal humans. And she also adds that, in this world, there are many races. The almighty orcs, the hot-headed dwarfs, the dark and normal elves, beastmens and even demons and dragons. I am obviously a normal human, but I would like to see all the races one day.

But screw all that!!! There is magic in this world, Hurrayyy!!!! I have always dreamt about this for a long time!!

This world is also quite advanced MAGICALLY. When I say that, I mean that this world isn’t your science civilised world. Because there is refrigerator which is powered by little magic stones and even comfy beds and air-conditions that are all powered up magically. So basically, this world is wholly supported by magic, not science. Well, that’s quiet insulting to a scientist such as myself.

Well never mind.

 When I was turning 7. I tried my first attempt at magic, which according to the book(the language is basically english btw) came from the 4 gods each ruling fire, water, wind, and earth. I failed miserably, because when I tried the simplest of spells, it just didn’t work. 

WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!?!?!?!?!?!

I certainly felt power coursing through my veins, but the moment I thought ‘how can water appear out of know where?’ it instantly canceled everything. Now all I can do is move things around me.

I tried figuring out this problem and asked Ms.Reyna for help. All she told me was

“Well magic is limited only to your mentality/mana and your imagination. Magic came from the gods of this world. So you must believe in them. Though… the magic of each person and races is different.

“Why is it different Ms.Rayna?” I inquired

“Well… The magic of human came from the 4 elemental gods, elves’ came from the spirits of earth, Dwarf has the base from the Smithing god and so on.”

Hmm… But magic is suppose to be equal to all. Magic from imagination…. Wait so that means… I concluded my theory and decided to try out my conclusion. 

Part 3

So according to MY theory, magic doesn’t come from the gods, it’s a organism’s ability to imagine and make things come forth.

The reason I can’t call out a water ball out of know where is that I got knowledge from the previous world hammered too hard into my head. 

But! That doesn’t mean I can’t use the water vapour from around me to make a water ball!

I tried sensing the water around me(which probably doesn’t work, I’m not some inhuman y’know) and imagined the water vapours coming together and becoming a water-ball.

I did it!!!!

Well there actually may not be enough water vapour for this large water ball. But as long as the word ‘possible’ comes into mind. I actually created ‘it’.

Magic is just so wonderful!!!

Wait… if I base my magic from the myths will I be able to replicate the power from the myths?

I then suddenly feel shaky and collapsed.

“Damn, maybe I used up too much mental focus on the first try…”

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

The first time using magic left the body unprepared for the mental calculations in order to create the magic. This is considered normal, as I was later told by Rayna.

 Sleepiness engulfed my body and I decided to take a short nap.

Part 4

“What do you want to be Mark?” One of the boys asked me, his name is Karl, he’s muscular dwarf boy who was about 15 in age, older than me.

It has been 4 years since my first time using magic, all the years I usually spend practicing my magic and my body. I can say that my looks is a little above average. I also started practicing martial arts about a year ago. The martial arts I practiced isn’t from this world but rather Muay Thai from my previous world.

“Yeah I’m curious too mark.” The girl with a slender build and the oldest of us all, Mira, asked me too.(7 years older than me.

“Well, you’re a human, so how about a warrior?” A slender boy with bear ears asked me further. His name is Rachagal, 4 years older than me.

“No!! Onii-chan will become a magician with meeeee!!!!” One of the orphanage’s newest members, Hanna, shouted out in rage. She’s a human who was 6 years younger than me. She was bit overly attached to me.

“Well, I think I’ll enter the magical academy of Xion or maybe become an adventurer.” I answered honestly.

“ You sure?” Mira asked. It is kinda common for human to be a warrior because of their strength in simple combat and swordplay. Elves can be said to be the number 1 master in magic since according to record, their minds mature the fastest, have the highest intelligence from all the races and they also have high affinity with magic. Though they usually have a weak body.

Beastman’s strength lies in their physical strength, but in turn their magic affinity is one of the lowest from all the  major races. While the dwarfs have high physical affinity with a special strain of magic which empowers power when forging and they also have high resistance with all other magic.

Humans, on the other hand could be said to be at both advantage and disadvantage when compared from the other races. They have affinity with magic but not as high as elf nor as low as beastman’s or other races. While their physical strength is not as low as elves nor as high as an average beastmans. Basically, the jack of all but master of none.

That is why many humans usually become an all rounder in combat. And they aspire to become warriors to fight for the army or fight against monsters in dungeons.

Monster are nature’s natural defences against intelligent beings, and some of the strongest are intelligent and their species’ name is demons and dragons. 

But usually demons will only attack humans or the major races if they venture into their territory first. There hasn’t been any major attack against human cities for more than 1,000 years, ever since the great demon army led by the demon king, which only appear scarcely.

“Well… You want to storm the dungeons, huh, well today will be the first day Ms.Rayna will teach us magic. You better precipitate attentively.” 

I already know many magics now, ever since the day I used it, I have been basing of the magic from the myths and science of my former world. I don’t intend to share the science’s knowledge though, since that will affect the world and limit the imaginations of the people.

“Now, now who wants to learn magic?” Ms.Rayna shouts out happily from the door.

“””””ME!!!!””””” We all answered.

“ Ok as many of you may know, magic comes mainly from your imagination, and your trust in your races’ gods. How about we let Mira demonstrate?”

“Me again…” Mira

“Okay as you can see Mira here, you must first ‘picture’ your magic”

“I’ll start now, For Pan, god of the forest, I ask thee thy power to control all life, bestow unto me the power to wash away all evil, Water Barrage!!!”

Suddenly, a huge wave washed over the room, crashing against us violently, making many of us stumble to the floor.

“Nevermind, I held back my power, or else all of you would have been washed away. Anyway that is an intermediate magic.”

“Erm, is that short incantation necessary?” Rachagal inquired what I was about to ask out.

“The incantation is for you to make the image in your mind clear, to know where the power comes from and perfect in in your memory. If you practice the same magic many times, then you can cast a chanties magic because you already know about it.”

So that really isn’t necessary for the incantation huh… So is the reason I can use strong magic is because I got the knowledge of science and myth hammered hard into my head so that I don’t require an incantation at all.

Well I start practicing the magic but I try to keep my powers low in order not to surprise the others, i just came up with strange incantation all the while imagining the water vapour condensing and casually call out a simple ball.

“HOW DID YOU DO THAT SO FAST” Rayna shouted at me later that day.
