At three years old, Alexander could already read and write, the result of his late night work sessions, he tried to behave like any child of his age, just a little more intelligent , a little more polite , showing more respect to others, to attract looks that will help him and not those that will take advantage of him or worse, we must not forget that Alexander is still a weak little child in a World full of powerful peoples
The Davis family was a loving family, Alexander had everything he needed, good meals, nice clothes, different servants and even a large library full of books of all kinds.
Books were a rare commodity but the Davis family with their history of over 10.000 years could afford it. They had a Big and spacious library, full of Books about geography, History and even Magic
Alexander therefore spent his days in the wonderful world of knowledge, he learned that this continent was called Oberons, a super continent and that the human race is not the only race present gnomes, elves, demons or even Human like fishes(biangos ) exist, there is a multitude of conscious races and people in this continent
Alexander live in the far north of the continent, in a human camp founded 15,000 years ago. The continent isn't fully explored , not even 10% of the continent, most of the human population live in the center of oberon , humans live in fear of the Monsters, sometimes powerful heros would be born and expand The human Land, sometimes hordes of Monsters would invade the land , tree powerful organisations reigned suprem over the human, the mages of the elements , who try to be one with the elements , the dark mages who are evil and crazy and the oumros faction ( oumros meaning knowledge in the ancien language ) , all of them had at least 1 level 9 mage , the elemental faction being the strongest
The humans of Oberon lived according to a very specific system, this system is divided into 9 slices, 1 being the least powerful and 9 the most powerful.
Different type 8 kingdoms produce other type 7 kingdoms and so on, Alexander is in a type 3 kingdom( note that a type 8 kingdom can produce another level 8 kingdom if one powerful clan decide to separate) .
Alexander therefore studied during the day and meditated in the night, the time to finish the library and then concentrate on the Magical side of things.
without knowledge, he could encounter several problems or even deviations in his Magical journey, which would be tragic
The system also helped Alexander by strengthening his limbs and improving his cognitive skills, this was one of the good points of the system. One morning while he was going to the library, Alexandre stepped on an insect, he then heard a notification
Ding 1 experience point acquired
Curious he then asked the system what was that sound and he learned that the vital energy of the insect has been transferred to him via the system and that this vital energy has been represented in the system in the form of experience points
it would take such amount of vital energy to bring a qualitative change to the body of Alexander and thus increase his level
Alexander was shocked by this discovery
He then asked if he could know how much energy he had left before leveling up? The system told him that he had to say the word ''menu'' in his mind and that a window would appear
Alexander:...
System :...
Alexander: From the beginning there was this option and you didn't tell me?
System: The host didn't ask any questions regarding all of this
Alexander: ....

After discussing with the system, Alexander learned that the system could not display the experience points obtained by a monster or an object in advance but that if an object was very important for the system it would let him know.
Alexander continued his routine of study/meditation for another year, for his fourth birthday and after reading the whole family library, Alexandre was finally ready to go on an adventure, at least to start looking for ways to acquire resources and vital energy
After a year of attachment to the system Alexandre's body was much more robust and muscular, he needed more vital energy to evolve but in return he was twice or even thrice stronger than an opponent of the same level

Also Alexandre bought a lots of chicken for their rapid reproduction, the time required for sexual maturity being 3 months, one chicken giving birth to 4/10 chicks each Time and each individual bringing 5 experience points plus each chicken cost 5 copper coins

Alexander was very happy with the result, after telling his parents that he intended to go into the meat business, to have more experience and be more mature his parents as merchants were also satisfied to help their child, that help was represented in the form of 10 gold coins (gc).
5 copper coins per chicken, 20 chickens per gold coin, an increase of about 60% every 3 months, which is around 950 chicken That's 4,750 experience points each year for just 10 gc.
The first six months of Alexander's monthly allowance was used to buy chiken , each month Alexander received 10 gc, 3 to 4 gc was enough for a family for a month
with such a fast trick, it will only take a few months to get to level 1
Each level was divided into 4 different stages, beginner, intermediate, advanced and pinnacle
The experience needed at each level was multiplied by 10 at each stage
Level 0 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000
Level 1 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000 etc...
all that remained was to find a way to recover the vital energy quietly, without being noticed.
Ding 5 experience points gained
Ding 5 experience points gained
Ding 5 experience points gained Etc...
The vital energy is also found in nature, the different trees and plants but the extraction was too slow
Alexander: I have to find a way to make money, with that, I would try to buy cattle and elixirs to start my journey, there are also the rumored elemental stones that would allow me to reach level 1 quicker ( the elemental stones were, as their names say , stones filled with a given element, they appeared in rich places in a certain element, all this knowledge came from the different books that Alexander had read)
Alexander decided to save his Money for half a year, he first choose to buy a good bow if he could not kill a lot of domestic animals because he had to let them reproduce, the animals in the forest would be good targets
he therefore left with a servant towards a merchant building which was 4h away
in a carriage, The city was very large, up to 65 miles of habitation, close to the beach, the city of emerald was the largest city in the kingdom, it had several taverns, armory, adventurer's guild, among other things.
The inhabitants of the city were of mixed races elves, gnomes, beast man ect... the policy of the kingdom was fair and just for the peoples and the other races which in turn led to a cultural development
Once in Emeralde, Alexander began by visiting the different armories to get an idea of the situation, he also inquired about the price of the different plants, elixirs, etc.
Once finished, he bought a bow with 4 gold coins, several arrows, the armor of an Emerald Bear at 4 gc , 10 air Elemental Stone at 5 gc each
He also bought respentine, a plant that allows you to mask the energy fluctuation that you give off because Alexander's level had become too high, if by any chance he happened to use his power or get noticed by a higher level, he could encounter some problems
he would also have to buy different dark/air spells but he couldn't afford them at the moment
Once back home, Alexander meditated for the rest of the evening, the next morning, he headed for the forest to hunt, he was of course always accompanied by a servant in his hunt (who would let a 4 year old chase After Wild animals alone)
boar, tiger, rabbit they were all killed in his quest for power, the forest was filles with noises and the roars of the different animals but all what Alexander could hear was the sound of the system
Ding 30 experience points acquired
ding 35 experience points acquired
Ding 5 points of experience acquired ect ...
with a strength and an agility of superior to 150 Alexander was fast like the wind and agile as a monkey, he would climb on a branch and shoot his arrows , sometimes missing sometime hitting his target in the end it still took him a few weeks to master archery and truly be the king of the forest.
Progressing at a breathtaking pace , he hunted everything in the forest and moved further and further away from the Davis residence.
After 1 month of intensive hunting, Alexander stopped and asked his parents if he could learn the art of the sword, indeed his next objective would be to hunt humans and high level monsters, therefore he couldn't go unprepared

1 year passed like that, during this year Alexander trained with the sword in the morning and meditated in the evening, he also bought his first spell from the adventurers' guild which was a ball of darkness at 100 gc, all the spells were avaible up to level 4, it was a rule established by the human council.
He also bought a slave, a robust and strong man named Soren, slaves had a magically implanted seal in their bodies that would cause them intense pain if they disobeyed their masters
soren was a level 1 slave who got captured while serving a level 1 lord, his family got killed when he Lost the war and all the soldiers and their family got enslaved, Alexander told him that after 30 years of service, he would help him in his revenge and give him his freedom back if he wanted to, thus making Soren a loyal servant.
Soren was trained in the art of magic and the sword, jhon understood his son's motives and authorized him, alexander wasn't like the other kids, he was more mature and wouldn't get cheated easily, Alexander obviously wanted to have his own men to carry out any mission that would be delicate.
Soren had awakened the element of earth and had very good defenses, after intensive training and the use of some elemental stones, he was on his way to level 0-intermediate, as for alexander he was at the pinnacle stage.

it was on a cold night that a shadow left the Davis estate to go 100 miles away, to a bandits hideout.
'' The black wolves '' were known for their misdeeds, extortion, theft, murders there was not a bad things that they didn't done, the government of emerald city tried to arrest them but the black wolves knew the forest too well, they always managed to disappear when the authorities were on their tail.
Alexander had managed to follow one of the members of the black wolves towards their base, at first he didn't know that they were bandits, he found them in the forest in the middle of the night curious about what the two men were doing he followed them, he was flabbergasted when he discovered that the two men were in fact bandits of the famous black wolf bandit group.
their base was near a river, in a mountain, it was a big cave of 13 miles or 2 big stadium.
the leader of the black wolves was known for his ferocity , he was a level 0-advanced, nothing serious for Alexander who was at level 0- pinnacle He was going to infiltrate the base, start by neutralizing the minions, then take care of the chief.
For Alexander who had the advantage in the night because of his affinity with the darkness, things were easy.

Neutralizing his enemies Alexander advanced in the dark night, without making any noise, the sound of the system resounding in his ears.
he was silent and murderous, the avenging arm which fell on the black wolves.
After being done with the underlings Alexander headed for the main tent, there and holding his breath, he made his way to the leader of the bandits who was asleep, slowly Alexander approached the chief, when the distance between them was just one foot, he raised his knife planning to kill his opponent with it.
As the blade was about to enter the chief's skull he suddenly opened his eyes, astonished and surprised, he had the reflex to get up and twist his body in a weird angle thus avoiding the stab.
Black Wolf Leader: Who Are You? What are you doing here ? Guards guards! Assassin Murderer !.
Alexander: no one can hear you old man, no one will come.
Chief: if you want money , i Can give you double of what they gave you.
Alexander stopped, he was not going to spare the chief but if he had a lot of money in his possession then nothing prevented him from letting him live for a few more minutes.
Alexander: very good but I will need one of your arms as proof of your death.
Boss: One arm I refuse
Alexander: an arm to make my sponsor believe that I killed you, it's better than your head, I'm not here to waste my time either you accept or I kill you.
The leader remained silent and when Alexander was about to attack, he accepted.
After taking out his treasure which represents the equivalent of 2000 gc the chief was bitter sweet
''if he wants to remove my arm, he surely wants to leave me alive'' he thought and he was far from the truth.
The boss: ''ah that hurts ''.
Alexander: be glad it's not your head And just as the chief let his guard down because of the pain, Alexander shoved his knife in the chief's throat.
