The sun hung high in the sky as the moving trucks rolled to a stop in front of Lleyn's new house. It stood as a symbol of their fresh start, an imposing structure with reinforced walls, high-tech surveillance, and a tranquil garden. It was the new sanctuary for Lleyn and his family.
Lleyn stepped out of the first moving truck, his eyes scanning the spacious property. This house was more than a shelter; it was a place where they could rebuild their lives. It had been specifically chosen to offer them comfort and peace.
Ada, Lleyn's mother, was the first to step out of the second truck, her eyes widening with wonder as she took in their new home. She had been hesitant about leaving their old residence, a place that held years of memories, but the promise of a fresh start had swayed her.
"Wow, this place is amazing," she breathed, her voice filled with awe.
Leo, Lleyn's father, followed suit, his expression a mix of pride and excitement. "I never thought we'd live in a place like this," he admitted, “my son has become a big shot”.
Sera, their energetic younger daughter, bounded out of the truck and immediately made a beeline for the backyard. She was the most excited about the new house, and her enthusiasm was infectious.
"Big brother, this pool is so cool!" she exclaimed, splashing her feet into the crystal-clear water.
Lleyn smiled, watching his family explore their new surroundings. He knew that although his parents were proud of him, they were still somewhat confused about all the changes happening.
"We're going to make wonderful memories here, together" he assured them, his voice carrying optimism.
Ada approached Lleyn and enveloped him in a tight hug. "Thank you, Lleyn," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
Leo joined the embrace, and for a moment, they stood there as a family, united in their determination to embrace the future together.
With the initial excitement of their new home settling in, the family members began to explore the house's interior. It was a spacious and luxurious abode, with modern furnishings and state-of-the-art amenities. Every corner of the house was designed to provide comfort and joy.
Sera rushed from room to room, declaring each one her favorite. "I want this room!" she announced as she found a cozy bedroom with a view of the garden.
Lleyn's parents followed, nodding in approval at the comfort and style of their new abode. Leo paused in front of a large window that overlooked the garden. "We made the right choice," he murmured, his gaze distant.
Lleyn couldn't help but agree. This house was more than just a place to live; it was a place where they could build a brighter future. He had been blessed through the experiences of his past life, and he intended to use them to their fullest extent to ensure his family's happiness.
As the day wore on, the family settled into their new home, unpacking boxes, arranging furniture, and making the space truly their own. Sera, of course, spent most of her time in the pool, her laughter echoing through the house.
Lleyn watched his family with a sense of contentment. He knew that the road ahead held challenges, but for now, they were safe and together. That was all that mattered.
With the sun setting, casting a warm glow over the garden, the family gathered in the living room. Leo and Ada exchanged smiles, their eyes reflecting hope and anticipation.
With that, they settled in for their first night in their new home, a place where they could finally find peace and the opportunity for a fresh beginning. The shadows of Eldoria might linger, but within these walls, they would remain at bay.
However, as Lleyn lay in his room that night, a heavy thought weighed on his mind. The Tutorial was only a few weeks away, and he couldn't help but think about the limited time he had left with his family before he would once again step into the world of Eldoria.
He had no way of knowing how many years he would spend in that perilous realm. It could be a few, or it could be many. The uncertainty gnawed at him, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he would miss his family more than words could express.
As he stared at the ceiling, he made a silent promise to himself. He would cherish every moment he had with his family in this new home. Every smile, every laugh, every shared meal would be a precious memory that would sustain him during the trials of Eldoria.
Finding himself somewhat at peace, Lleyn checked the time and confirmed that it was midnight. He had been eagerly anticipating this moment where everyone would be asleep. He needed to check his status screen. Specifically, he wanted to confirm if the 10 additional points in Magic Power could help him develop further. It had been an astonishing feat, one that should have been impossible before the tutorial.
Lleyn's eyes locked onto the Magic Power attribute, his heart pounding with anticipation. It was there, unmistakably marked at 10 points. He had been right; the potion's effect had not faded. His thoughts then shifted to his body's purification which had remained stubbornly stuck at 25% for weeks now regardless of how long he meditated for.
The reason for this stagnation was clear to Lleyn. There had always been an imbalance between the immense strength of his physical body and the power of his mind. This incongruity had prevented his body's purification from progressing any further.

Now, with his Magic Power increased, he wondered if this could tip the balance in his favor. It was a risk worth taking. He needed to know if this newfound mental strength could unlock the dormant potential of his body.
Willing to give it a shot, Lleyn moved to the center of the room, crossed his legs, and settled into a meditative posture. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes, and began the familiar process of calming his thoughts and entering a state of deep concentration.
In the past, meditation had always been a slow and deliberate process, taking considerable time before he could access the depths of his consciousness. But now, something was different. Almost immediately, he felt the world around him fade away as he slipped into a trance-like state.
However, this time, the peaceful space he usually encountered in his mind seemed to be in turmoil. It was as though a storm raged within him, with sparks of all colors dancing in chaotic patterns. It was a disorienting and electrifying experience, unlike anything he had ever encountered in his previous meditations.
Despite the chaos, Lleyn remained determined. He focused his thoughts on the idea of purifying his body, of one day achieving that elusive 100% in body's purification. He willed his mind to harmonize with his physical form, to find that delicate equilibrium that had eluded him for so long.
As he delved deeper into his own consciousness, something extraordinary happened. He felt a surge of energy, like a current of power coursing through him. It was as though his Magic Power—previously separated from his body's strength—was now inextricably linked to it.
Just as he thought he couldn't go any deeper, he received a sudden system message:
New Skill Acquired: Ley Line Channeling
Lleyn's eyes snapped open, and he found himself back in his room, his heart still racing from the experience. He quickly checked his status screen to see what this new skill entailed:
[Ley Line Channeling (Passive) - Level 1]
Constantly channels the power coursing through Ley Lines into the body to increase the power of innate skills (skills from equipment are not included).
The implications of this new skill were profound. It meant that his Magic Power could bring more opportunities for him to grow stronger before the tutorial.
Excitement and curiosity bubbled within Lleyn. What else could this newfound skill unlock? Could he receive other powers before the tutorial started if he continued his training?
With a renewed sense of purpose and determination, Lleyn knew that the road ahead was filled with possibilities. He was no longer bound by the limitations of his previous self. Magic Power, Ley Line Channeling, and a myriad of untapped abilities awaited him, and he was ready to embrace them all. The countdown to the tutorial had begun, and Lleyn was eager to discover what lay beyond the horizon of his potential.
Once the night passed, Lleyn's efforts in harnessing the newfound connection between his Magic Power and the Ley Lines were beginning to bear fruit. The once-elusive state of complete body purification had inched forward, now resting at a significant milestone—30%.
As he focused his thoughts on purifying his body, the transformation was palpable. His core attributes, the very essence of his future life in Eldoria, seemed to respond to this progress. Each of his main stats saw a subtle but meaningful increase of one point, a testament to his growing harmony between mind and body.
