Anselm PoV
It was a boring week! My "parents" tried to make me act like royalty but it was boring and I couldn't understand what they wanted me to do with it, but I had to do it and I had already ‘mastered’ the skills that would be useful. So I spent all my time in the grand library we had in the castle.
I looked through all the books that talked about magic but it was basic stuff and they had almost nothing about the technology I had found in the rift.
I wanted to blow it all, I lost my time looking for the things I wanted just to find nothing! It was when my "parents" had the brilliant idea that I should train my swordsmanship with the knights that worked in the palace.
It didn't work, the knights were weak and I could win against them just by using the Dyanos magical ability. They had magical abilities in their swordsmanship, but as I thought. They were REALLY weak!
I could move the Dyanos using my mind. When I created them I could just move two at the same time and I couldn't move them so well. But after some time I upgraded the system and with it my ability to manipulate them. And now I had put the ability to send energy waves when punched or kicked. No, I wouldn't punch or kick them directly, they would be together forming a triangle and it would create a magical force between them and pouring my mana in that force to launch it forward with a punch or kick to move it to the enemy.
My armor would activate when I wanted. It had a reserve of mana that I would be fed on my mana or the mana I would steal from my enemies.
Well, after winning against all the guards in one afternoon I was bored and had started to play with my magic ability. I had made one ball of every element I knew and was making them float around my body while I sit on my Dyanos.
Fire, water, wind, earth, light, darkness. One ball of each element was floating beside me, and I was dividing the balls in smaller one and trying to fuse them to use new types of magic. Magma, ice, lightning, void, steam and energy were the ones I had already discovered when I fused some of the elements together and these ones were floating together and if I fused all the elements together they would create an instability that would explode.
I was doing my magic training because I was bored when someone appeared besides the door of the room. Startled I send three of the Dyanos to the back of the person and stepping on the other three I transfer myself to the back of the person that was looking at me just to find my "mother" with a strange look in her face.
I had almost blown her away with a powerful lightning bolt I had in my hands. I sigh dissipating the mana I had in my hands.
"*Sigh* Mother, I thought father had said to leave me alone today..." They had ordered me to act as their son, so I HAD to call them father and mother or they wouldn't listen when I talked.
The queen was looking to me with new eyes. I think this kind of magic is a little difficult but as I have already prepared the formulas on the drones it was faster and I just needed to activate it sending mana and it has a limit of 10 meters. So I couldn’t really teleport more than that.
“I and your father was discussing what to do now with you and we wanted to know if you want to go to the magic academy in the center of the empire-”
“I want.” I know it is impolite to interrupt a queen but WHO CARES?! More knowledge and it may help me find what I really need to travel across dimensions. “I want to go there and if possible as soon as possible.” I tell her. I could see a sad smile on her face, she probably wanted to know more about me but she couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do.
“I will tell your father. And son, stop playing like that with the guards. They are feeling weak now…” I wanted to say ‘Who cares?’ but she had already left.

5 months later
‘THIS IS TORTURE!!! WHY DO I NEED TO LEARN ETIQUETTE?!’ Yeah… the first week was nothing and if I wanted to go to class my parents said that I would need to be able to act like a noble or it would be a shame to their face, so they made this intensive class of etiquette and how to comport in public as the second son of a king.
I had to learn how to talk politely, how to walk, sit, eat, court, dance… it was exhaustive and every night I would need to spar with some of the guards to help them get better in fighting against the unusual. More than once my parents asked me to share how I created my drones and clothes. I would always find a way to say no. I don’t want to see people using the magic-tech that took me 5 years to create and improve.
It was that time that I could see my siblings. An older brother and two younger sisters. Daniel, Lillian and Mirela had come home after the end of the year in the academy. When they saw me they had differents expressions. The boy was amused to see his younger brother back the two girls had an annoying look in their face like that they would need to live with a person they had never seen before and respect him as their older brother.
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
It was said that they had two weeks to relax before going back to the academy and mother had said that I should learn some little things about my siblings.
Daniel is a magic swordsman and he likes to use magic in his sword or in the surroundings, he has white hair like mine. Lillian and Mirela are normal magicians, they prefer to stay away and send their magic flying to the enemy. It looks like they have a scary combination when together. One would complement the other magic using an auxiliary magic or they would create a combo of differents magics to make the other don’t know their true intention, they have purple eyes like their father.
In this two weeks I got to learn some more data about them and their habits. Daniel had the habit to be overprotective and he try to help us but it just disturbed us. The girls were more closed toward me and would talk less openly to me… well… they haven’t had the opportunity to live so much time with Livius as Daniel. Daniel is 17 years old, Lillian is 13 and Milena 12. And it isn’t their fault that they don’t remember their second brother.
Three days before we had to go to the academy mother had give me the passing score in etiquette. It was a pain and I couldn’t run away from it. I had did it once… but when I got in the next class I had to learn what I had lost and the new one in the same day! It was difficult! And Daniel asked to spar with me. It looks like some of the guards here had seen us talking and after talking to him he said that I had won against all the guard in one after without breaking a sweat.
What can I say… It was a funny experience. He wanted to get near to me and I would avoid his attempts to wound me by using the teleport ability of my drones. What can I say… he got annoyed that I was just running away without really reacting and when I started grinning he got mad and started to clad his sword in magic or to fire some magic toward me. It had got more interesting this way, and I started to punch his attacks. It was funny to see a grin appear in his face just to see a shocked expression after that. I was wearing my Warg Armor. I had more than one and after staying in that rift for so long I had found a small piece of magic about spatial magic. I could gather some things inside it to take it out when needed. In that pocket dimension I had four or five armors, 6 groups of Dyanos, and some tools. I would never come back without the things I had created!
Well after that I started to send some energy shots to him using the drone power. He had learned how I defeated all the knights in the castle but I could see that he knew I wasn’t using my full power and he wasn’t using it too… It was what his eyes were saying. And yeah, this five months training etiquette I really had to learn how to read the change in the moods of the people.
He changed the grip in his sword. He was using a bastard sword and with his left hand free he started to shout more magics to me. I punched or kicked all of them and I felt it, he was increasing the output. He was trying to overpower my mana control.
I grin to him and I stop defending against his magics. He had a troubled look in his face, but when he looked to me and my grin he shook his head and charged to me.
I teleport my body to appear in his back and as if waiting for it he send a water blade to my chest. It cut air as I had already teleported myself from that spot to appear in the air. I point my finger to him and a lightning bolt strike his body. It wasn’t that powerful but it stopped his movements and with a new teleport I grip his sword arm with my left hand and with my right I create a dark dagger to appear before his eyes. He had been completely dominated before me.
Daniel then let the sword drop to the ground. “I lost this duel.” I make my dagger disappear and with a step back I teleport to appear before him.
“Good battle and I think you didn’t show everything you got on this duel.” I say to him with a grin.
“And you did the same.” He smile to me shaking his head. What would be the fun in finishing it so fast? I could have just burned him to ashes with my magic or punch his face with my armor active.
After the battle we shower and prepare to travel. It looks like we would have to travel for some time on a tamed monster to go to the academy and now I will get more knowledge in magic and technology, probably. I just need a equation to travel between dimensions! The dimension pocket didn’t helped in anything regarded to that. That magic just make a bag bigger then it would normally be.
It took us two days to travel to the academy. I asked my siblings about what the academy teach and how much it would take to graduate. It was simple, they would teach everything you wanted, from how to start fire to how to be god, not entirely just a way to talk. Anyway it would take near 10 year to someone to complete as they would enroll at the age of 8.
‘I would have 3 years to explore the library and ask the teacher about everything I want to know about time travel.’ I thought to myself while our transport was landing.
