Chapter 3: Friends Who Think I’m a Girl (Time Skip)
I am now 4 years old.
Recently I had been taking lessons from my father. Turns out he used to be a former noble. However, the majority of the lessons I already knew. Then again, I did learn about some new content.
Practitioners are labeled into the following categories of power rank:
1st - 9th gate
- From the first gate (Lv 1-9) to the 9th gate (Lv 80-89) it would take a lifetime. Most people reach only up to the 2nd gate
---
Saint
- Geniuses who surpassed their limits and understand the laws of the universe. Saints are those who can crush countries overnight and massacre tens of thousands of people with half their power.
(Lv 90-99)
---
Deity
- Those who can crush a Saint with a finger and never die of old age, as well as freely crossing other worlds. Saints are lucky if they become Deities before death as even with long life it would take 10,000 years at least. Upon reaching the Deity level, one no longer dies of old age and will revert to their prime in youth. (Lv 100-199)
---
Demigod
- The next rank after Deity. (Lv 200-299)
---
God
- The next rank after Demigod. (Lv 300-399)
---
Highgod
- The peak of all practitioners. The last rank for many, but there are some monsters that still train at this level. (Lv 400-499)
---
Overlord
- Monsters who never gave up and achieved limitless power and fame. The number of Overlords throughout the whole universe amount to less than 10,000. (Lv 500-999)
---
Overgod of [ ???]
- Mastering all the divine laws of an element, there are only 100 people who achieved this rank. The most famous of them is the Overgod of Void, God to all Beastmen.(Lv 1000)
I didn’t know that they integrated a level system into the usual ranking system of our modern wuxia.
Also, the continent we live on is called Pangea, and like on Earth, it is one large mass of land and the only continent. The major countries are: North- Russia, South- Africa, East- China, West- America. I wondered why it sounded like earth, but I definitely know that this planet [Status] is not Earth. I know this for a fact because the stars are totally different and there are several laws of physics and magic that are different, such as the level system.
I also learned that a soul is generally immortal. Even when a soul is destroyed, it will revive eventually. However, the soul revives into a state comparable to a newborn, so reincarnation with their previous life is theoretically impossible.
So what happened to me, I may never find out.
Also, during these four years, I have been training on mana and ki control. Although I could’ve strengthened my capacity instead, I realized that I would stand out if people realized that I had a larger capacity than others at a young age. In the long term, I should work on my control first before training on capacity.
Besides, it seems like I found out how abnormal his stats were. When I asked my father how much mana he had, he replied that he had 4524 mana. Eventually I’ll have to find some system command or skill to disguise my stats in case.
After another few minutes of waiting, he heard his father greet someone.
Dai: “Hey Leyland. So you finally arrived. You sure took your time.”
I wonder who that is? Oh yeah, father said that some people would be moving across the street.
Leyland: “Ah, hey Dai. It took some time cause the kids seemed sad to move away from their old house. Oh yeah, sometimes I’ll send the kids to you so you can babysit.”
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Dai: “Well, they can play with my son Soula whenever they want.”
Interesting, it seems that I might have some friends in the future. Going out, I notice who my father was talking to. Leyland was a tall blond man. Although he wasn’t really handsome, he had a perfect figure with slim muscles and some sort of warrior aura.
Leyland: “Oh. Who’s this young girl here?”
...I felt an arrow go through my heart. Recently I started to grow my hair out until it reached pass my shoulders. This was unintentional because of this.
Black Amethyst Hair [Rank A] Beginner Lv: 7 (67%)
Hair with the magical properties of [Amethyst].
By infusing mana into your hair, it will increase your defense
up dependent on the amount of mana.
(WARNING: Defence is only raised on your hair. If mana manipulation not at Advanced Lv: 1 hair will automatically absorb mana to protect itself)
Mana to Defense: 100:7
Now it is so hard to cut it, plus my eastern looks in a western part of the continent, I look like a cute asian GIRL.
Dai: “Hehehe, Leyland this is my SON Soula. Soula, come over and greet my friend Leyland.”
Soula: “Hello Mr. Leyland. My name is Soula Voilong. I am a youthful BOY who loves to play like any other BOY.”
Leyland: "Ahahahah, sorry about that. My name is Leyland [G]."
Soula: "[G]? What an unusual name."
Dai: "The [G] clan is one of the 26 western clans that take their name after the alphabet."
(AN: World alphabet based on English. In this world [Mine] the alphabet is English for every language. For convenience sake other languages will be translated to English.)
Soula: "Oh, why would someone from a country clan live in a small village like this?"
Leyland: "Well, I'm actually a branch member that has more freedom than others."
As they were talking, I noticed more people were coming towards us.
A woman with blonde hair walks towards them with three children, one boy and two girls. The woman had a short haircut almost like a man’s and slim physique. Her face was petite with orange pupils and had cat-like ears on her head which drew attention to the tail wagging around. She wore leather armour used mostly for hunters and had a bow on her back. Looking at her, people would describe her as a tomboy or a nekojin. The children all had the same blonde hair as their parents.
Both of the girls were identical in appearance, even to the point where they dressed the same. Their hair was cut shoulder length and had blue eyes but other than that, nothing else. The boy, however, inherited his mother’s animal features and looked almost like a younger version of his mother.
Leyland- “Well, I’d like to introduce you to them. My wife’s name is Katherine, and my children are Rudy, Rena, and Rika.”
Rudy, Rena, and Rika- “Nice to meet you.”
(Inner monologue of the kids)
Rudy: ‘Wow, what a pretty girl.’
Runa: ‘So this is our new playmate.’
Rika: ‘I wonder if he can last in a fight?’
Soula: “Nice to meet you. My name is Soula Voilong. Nice to make acquaintances with you.”
Suddenly, the young boy Rudy jumped forward and somehow procured a rose out of nowhere and spoke in a loud voice.
Rudy: “PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!”
………………………………………..
Soula:“I AM NOT A GIRL!”
With that, the loud sound of a slap reverberated throughout the village.
