I was sitting on a stool while reading a book in the massive library.
I'm three now, I'm so sad you abandoned me for three whole years. Bohoo!
But seriously, I've been having my fun with 'Inspect', like any self-respecting reincarnator would. Though in the beginning it was pretty dissapointing though, but even the slightest bit of information helps.
I'll showcase it when I actually use it.
Fun fact, I can inspect atoms and electrons. I found it very funny, and you should to!
Sadly, I have to get serious now.
First; The races I could choose from when I was about to reincarnate (If you don't remember, the check again). Elves and dwarves, there aren't any official records of them. But there are unofficial tales, about an elven kingdom, somewhere. Where humans were slaves. and a dwarven empire underground some mountain ridge, somewhere.
I'm obviously regretting the fact that I'm not an elf now, since there's a bunch of talk about vitality and talent with them.
'Half-bloods', they're not beastmen, so sadly. no animal girls. They're just a mix of the three other races. There's also not a lot more information about it.
Second; I'm the heir of a duke called Duke, I find it quite funny actually. The 'Noble house' is more of a clan, with many members. And it's unofficially a 'Grand duke' family, grand dukes aren't official in this empire.
But I'm the heir, and yes, I do have a little brother, although I don't like him at all. he's been born only recently, and he's disgusting, and may take my spot as heir. I don't want that, so I'm thinking about how to kill him. Any suggestions are welcome, though I'd probably not listen to them.
Third; This place is lit-rpg central, also a bit of beastmaster china-powers too. Alright, so, statistics on my mana and hp, classic lit-rpg. but pet beasts, classic china-man beastmaster stuff. Just a big, big question, am I going to talk about how asains (Specifically china-men) are somehow racially superior to any other? And how Kunlun is hidden in the veil of space and how china comes from them. Not even realizing it says 'China is a stupid country that somehow lost their powers that were equal to gods/demi-gods.'
Note to self; Make sure when kissing the ass of china, that I'm not dissing china accidentally.
Another note to self; Actually, make sure you just don't praise ancient dinosaur china, because that's a monarchy. And the china I'm kissing the ass of is communist, almost the complete opposite of a monarchy. All goes to the king! vs. hello comrad, your bones belong to mada russia! So let's make sure not to praise ancient china, but how do I praise the new china?
3rd note to self; Be super selfless while dissing every other political disposition except the unique brand of communism in china.
4th note to self; Whenever something goes wrong, say something on the lines like; 'If only china man winni the poo was here, everything would be perfect and communist.'
5th note to self; Never talk about that square thing, and that crazy conspiricy theory that Hong Kong doesn't come from mada china.
6th note to self; Never mention a yellow bear.
7th note to self; Never mention that china men creation camps that 100% don't do slavery.
8th note to self; Ugh, this is becoming exhausting. But I should never, ever, ever, talk about valid statistics and how to obtain them. It would show how communism is a flawed system, never even mention the USSR too. Wait- shouldn't that be note 10? Or note 8?
9th note to self; xiang xi ping or whatever his name is, the perfectly healthy china man, with nuclear weapons, maybe. I'm not sure. never talk about how his family died because communism, and how he probably isn't too keen on communism, but keen on the power given by communism.
10th note to se- You know what, I'm just going to make some jokes about how great china is from time to time, and hope that the Chinese government doesn't realize they're jokes.
There are just too many conditions I need to follow, understand? If you were a chinese protestor, you'd understand how annoying it is to remember everything you need to do to not get on the people's communist party bad side.
I had once needed to remember these things, but I realized; 'Why should I care? I'm rich either way. I don't even have factories in china, they're in india and africa. So that I can preach about how I need to spread the wealth and increase the pace of industrialization in 3rd world countries.'
-You know what, let's just stop talking about China and the CCP. This is a fantasy world with kingdoms only. Maybe I'll make a communist dictatorship and call it 'China', maybe I won't, but that's for when I take over the empire. Not while I'm a todler.
Back to what I was doing, Info dump; fourth move!:
I have pupilless black irises, yes, unatural, pupilless black eyes. I don't know how, but I do. I also have black hair, I made sure it's short though. Long hair opens up my mother to mess with it, and that's cringe.
She once wanted to forcefully make it all curly instead of my naturally straight hair.
I don't like her, I hate her. She wastes my time, and every single second counts.
So, now that I have a brother that apparently does like her, I let that parasitic crawler waste her time.
Skills; What are they?
Good question! They're something to do with that system or frame-work or whatever.
-Wasn't I dissing my mother?
-Wasn't I talking about how I had pupilless black eyes?
Those! Yes those, okay. So 'Physiques' are a thing, don't know how, don't know why. Except some exerpts 'Wyvern 2;15 For god has given apon us powers beyond the material, changing man beyond natural powers and coloring.', 'Man 4;02 For god had watched apon man, and man searched for god, god choose to grant few proof of him.', 'Man 4;03 For man had gained light, for man had gained mind, for man had gained eyes of gold.'
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
A few more; 'Man 4;04 Darkness looked above at god, and to man. Seeing them together, darkness stirred, for order was not darkness, for order was light. For man was greedy, for man without looked at those of god with eyes of darkness. Darkness looked at those of man, and granted dark powers.', 'Man 4;12 Concepts looked at the divine, and looked apon man, and half-heartedly granted mortals power.'
That's pretty much the best I have, some verses from a book, from the Gaia (Holy spirit?). I'm not sure that godess made the bible, since it talked about god as a man and a woman. Or if she even exists, but priests do get extra skills somehow, so maybe I'm just a stupid shit. But, at least Gaia doesn't take credit for making humans with a bit of dirt and a sneeze.
Not that I'm a super good creationist 'Praise the lord's pinkie toe' now, I'm still extremely at arms against religion. Why? Because it's a force that I don't control!
If I were a pope, I'd praise god and all that constantly, but I'm a noble someone that's in a cycle of conflict with 'The church'. I'd personally like every believer smited, or burned at the stake.
Back to physiques- No, actually, if you're wondering why I'm currently switching between topics like a xianxia protagonist leaving their home town or whatever area they're running about it, It's because I'm stressed, I like to make jokes when I'm stressed, I usually don't really feel like sitting still while I'm stressed. Why am I stressed?
Well, even it's been three years, you kinda don't get used to these things that easily. I've lived a life, a long life, and three years of sitting in some mansion isn't going to get me used to how a church that could kill me at the slightest mistake is out there.
Now, I feel a lot better after complaining to imaginary beings, which I can't prove exist.
Skills, If you do something, like practicing swordsmanship, you get a skill to do with swordsmanship. Most skills that are known are passive, like; 'Basic swordsmanship'.
Yes, I do already have that, I had to start learning since I was 2 years old, because advatages and all that, and I appreciate it! Because it doesn't waste time.
I've gotten a few skills, I'll show you them through my status. It's the coolest and easiest thing to do.

More than a few actually, but this is just the basis of my education, that 'Primitive draw-slash' was personally concieved by me! Those two QCQ things too.
I know, it's kind-of shocking, but this is just the beginning really, I'm going to get all the 'Basic' variants of swordsmanship, and then fuse them together to some higher variant of 'Swordsmanship' after getting them all up to the 'Novice' level.
Then you do that with a bunch of other bladed weapons, and then you get 'Blademanship' somehow.
Skills are weird, and I just picked up a book about this blessing thing.
'Record of blessings, their effects, and their signs.' huh, that's seems quite generic. Wait- what's this small text? 'Arcae academy, 1st year.'
The fuck is 'Arcae academy'? I've never heard of it... and this book does seem very old...
Let's read it before I make any conclusions.
> Blessing of flames;
>
> One of the most understood blessings, based on the four base aspects.
>
> The effects of this blessing are;
>
> Increased affinity to flame aspected skills, increased resistence to flame aspected damage and a decreased affinity to water aspected skills.
>
> Personality signs;
>
> The one with this blessing is often more passionate and emotional than average, though the most extreme case is far too graphic to detail.
>
> Cosmetic signs;
>
> Ones with this blessing have orange eyes (Commonly), and can have a better figure, complexion and light red hair too (Very rare, very valuable blessing).
This seems familiar.
I quickly went through the books piled up in my own little corner 'Physiques and how to find them.'
> -The physique of embers
> Ones with this physique are often more emotional, greater at the usage of flames, less proficient that the usage of water, and with orange eyes.
So- If I'm getting this right, physiques and blessings are one in the same, right?
Let's find a few more blessings that are equivalent to physiques.
> Blessing of winds = Physique of zephyr.
> Blessing of earth = physique of terra.
> Blessing of aqua = physique of streams.
> Blessing of light = Holy light physique.
> Blessing of darkness = Acursed physique.
Then I spotted a blessing alot like what I entail
> Abyssal blessing;
>
> An obscure and mysterious blessing with little known.
>
> Suspected effects;
>
> Increased affinity to the darkness aspect, increased affinity to the space aspect, increased affinity to the 'Ruin' aspect, increased affinity to the ''
>
> Suspected personality signs;
>
> Those suspected of this blessing are often with less hesitance to kill another, and seem slightly detached from what happens around them unless it relates to them.
>
> Cosmetic signs;
>
> Ones with this blessing are sometimes with true-black hair and true black eyes without pupils (Those with this blessing can fake pupils if wished).
>
> *Note; It is suspected that those with this blessing can change their appearance based on 'Something' (Content warning for those who wish to read it), this suspicion is gained from the exerpt at page 312.
Yep, I have this 'Abyssal blessing', but I can make myself pupils? Having pupilless eyes is the strangest thing about me! If I can get them to have some pupils, it'd be great.
I took out a crystal and focused on it 'Bring a hand mirror to me in the pure-blood library'
About a minute later, a maid I did not know, rushed in and gave me a hand mirror and left without saying a thing. That was a slave, yes, slavery. We all know it, some hate it. And no, in this place it's not restricted to black people. Actually, I'm not even sure if there are people with a higher melanin concentration in this world or on this continent. I haven't left this weird mansion my entire life! I know next to nothing first hand.
And if black people were just a regular commoner thing then I wouldn't know because no one would feel as if it were necessary to mention in any type of way!
Back to getting back my pupils, I looked at my visage in the hand mirror.
My eyes were obviously without pupils, so I scrunched up my face, and willed in pupils.
That didn't work.
One hour later.
I finally gave up and just started to practice my fake smile, and suddenly, my pupils had appeared.
It was that easy, I had wasted an entire hour on this, when just smiling could make my pupils appear.
The moment I stopped trying to train my fake smiling, my pupils vanished. I tried to make a fake angry expression, and they appeared again. Then a few snake tears without any changes, pupils too.
Just acting like someone with pupils, the pupils appear!
But what if I want to act but not have pupils? Well, just act like I'm angry or something, but not want to have pupils!
This was exceptionally simple, way to simple.
Well, time to train my skills again, I heard I'll be learning how to ride a horse today. Now, mind you. You need to understand that I showed an uncharacteristically calm and inteligent behavior + a good bit of talent, so they're not to concerned for my behavior.
The horse is pretty young too, but not of my standards back on Feyl- I mean earth.
