I racked my brain looking for answers as to why something like that happened to me. Flipping my little cute brain upside down, however I still couldn't find anything other than Magic Exhaustion. = =
Sleeping for five days straight is not something to laugh about, especially when I saw my mother’s beautiful face distorted like that? Uugh, I can’t help myself but feel guilty and responsible for it.
However, no matter what I think, the only conclusion I can come up with is because I used magic and that leads to magic exhaustion.
‘But is that really the reason? Magic exhaustion? From what I read in my previous life, when MC exhausts their magic or mana they will only fall unconscious for a little while; At worst, only a day. But in my case, I sleep for five days straight, so what the hell happened to me?’
Other than this, I can’t think of anything else. For the sake of my parents; especially my beloved Mother cry in worry again, I vowed to myself not to use magic until I got older enough to use it.
But I want to get stronger. Now that I’m in a different world with magic and stuff, I need to enjoy it, but what if something like this happened again or maybe worse. Uugh! = ˰ =
I was in a resigned mood; I also want to be like those MC who were also like me that was reincarnated and capable of using magic in such a young age and was revered by the people around him.
I wanted to surprise everyone by suddenly using magic, but if I use it again I might die.
I was broken hearted. Having these thoughts in me, created a lump on my throat that filled a feeling more than just regret. I wanted to cry but then a sudden thought flashed on my mind.
Maybe I can’t use it because of my body’s reserve mana is so small that I might endanger myself if I cast a spell? Right, there’s also that possibility.
With this thought, I regained confidence and found hope.
If that is really true then I really need to wait until I grow up. No wait, I got it! There’s a light novel I read back in my previous life that says the best method to increase magic capacity is to train it since childhood or even when you're
still a baby. But to train means to use magic right? So I still can’t…
I couldn't finish what I’m thinking. I was down-hearted again, another problem arose. I put my hand under my chin (Of course only in my mind though! LOL) as I keep thinking and racking my brain to resolve it.
Then as if a glowing bulb floated on the top of my head with a 'Ting' sound, I suddenly thought of something.
Slowly drawing out mana from outside the body and bit by bit fused it with mine. Exactly! And to do that is through meditation. Hahaha who is the idiot that says that anime, manga, LN and Fanfictions are useless information and cannot be used in reality? Hahaha brace yourselves for your incompetence for I, the great Lyle, will be the one who will prove that nothing in this world is impossible as long as you're a certified Otaku!
I suddenly felt as if I was in cloud nine. Now that I have goal for now, it’s time to put it in action, but for now
*yawn*
I need to sleep. I think I overtaxed my brain because of all this thinking. Aargh, my head feels like it will explode any minute now! I need to rest and sleep.
Beau---I mean, Baby rest.
*yawn*
ZzzZZZZZZZZ
******************
Today as-well, without being seen by Sasha or my parents, I carry out my daily training.
Though I say training, right now all I’m doing is lifting my arms and legs high up; it’s closer to gymnastics.
Since I’m still in a baby’s body, putting too much strain on myself will only be detrimental to my development --and worst, it could even kill me.
Though this may look unrefined, it’s part of a diligently devised plan. My amazing plan.
Hm? For what?
Of course to make my body stronger and also with this, I will be able to get used to my own body faster.
I did this every day, of course when nobody is looking and in the night I do my meditation exercise.
It was tough, but seeing my rapid progress always give me encouragement to continue.
A few months after I began my training I started crawling.
When Sasha saw this, with a wide grin, she dashed off to inform my parents. They were all very pleased to see me moving about here and there like a cockroa---I mean like an adorable puppy.
I was tempted to show off and tried to stand up while waving my hand at them but I failed.
As soon as I tried it, I fell hard in my butt and I couldn't help but fought the urge to cry. And it was very hard for me to do so.
My bottom really hurts, Damn it! ~>.<~
Ugh! That was really embarrassing.
They got worried and immediately run towards me. When they saw me, they sighed a relief although my mother was frantically casting a healing magic on me. I think she casted it on me for five times before Father finally decided to stop her.
Really, that was an epic fail, I was so embarrassed I wanted to hide in a hole.
--------------------------------
2 years after being born. My body had been developing favorably. My daily training has moved on to things like push-ups and sit-ups. I’m still careful not to over-train though, as doing so could stunt my growth. I don't want to look like a dwarf.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
I can now stand up with my own two feet and walked. And it's already about time I started jogging to increase
stamina but, unfortunately I'm still unable to leave this room.
Today Sasha went somewhere so I felt really bored. I could only scan the whole room, looking for something interesting to do.
‘Hm? Now that I think of it, this room has so many books. I never realize it before because I was engrossed in my training.’
I walked towards the shelf. Obviously I can’t read a book I can’t reach so I could only take the books at the lowest part of the shelf.
As soon as I held the book I tried to read its title but as I expected I can’t. the words was composed of different strange characters so I put it down but then the characters glowed a dim light and unexpectedly arrange themselves to a language I knew.
‘What the hell! It’s in kanji? How?’
I also tried the other books and as expected it also did the same things as before.
Oh well, isn’t it better like this! I don’t know how but let’s leave it at that. There is no way I can explain everything that happen and might happen in this world. The most important thing is that, now I can read these books. Let see what this books are…
There are various books in there but I what caught my attention are five books.
<
This is a special encyclopedia that contains various countries and popular places in this world.
A typical must-have for tourist. Hm? Does this world even have a tourist? Aren’t countries hostile towards each other? Well, for now I guess this is important now that the war was finally finished seven months ago.
I wonder if that Loli-killer and Godly chef Sat*u Pendr*gon had read this book~
The second book was about,
<
A book that describes monsters that appears in Roden forest near Malic, and ways to handle them.
‘More like an anime encyclopedia though. It had a list of various strange-looking animals and monsters like a cow that looks like a sheep...hehehe so cute~'
<
The fairy tale of a knight named Mardok, who traveled along with his companions battling the demon gods, saving the world, punishing evil, and rewarding the good.
<
A guidebook that contains the method of using magic attacks, from the elementary rank to the advanced rank.
<
This is a story about the adventures of three talented swordsmen who meet each other accidentally and then formed a party to enter a labyrinth.
Putting aside the three books about things in this world, the other two let me learn a lot, especially the last one interests me.
I held my own expectations but guilds and labyrinths really existed here in this world. I felt very excited and my heart feels like it will explode while I was still reading this books.
To me, who came from the world without magic, swords and adventures, the things that were recorded here made me develop a very deep interest in it.
Me, being an avid reader really won’t change no matter when and where I am!!! Hahaha
I was engrossed in reading them that I didn’t notice Sasha had already arrived. She was just sitting there in the bed, smiling while looking at me.
*gururu*
Oh I forgot, I haven’t eaten yet!
Putting power into my feet and supporting myself with my hands, I stood up. When I turned around, I saw Sasha looking at me intently.
Oh she already arrived? I didn’t noticed her!
Heading towards her, I slowly place one foot in front of another. When I reached her she gently stroke my head and smile.
“Very good, Prince Lyle! Now then, are you hungry?”
She asked while still smiling at me. I noticed that I’m the only one who can see this kind of smile from her. Maybe because I’m still a child which is why she always lowered her guard down or maybe because of something else.
I don’t really care about all those things, as long as she show me that beautiful smile, that’s all that matters.
I smiled and then nodded.
She lifted me up and put me on the bed.
“Okay, then say aaahh!”
She held out the spoon towards my mouth. Although it’s a little bit embarrassing, but for now I’m still a cute child so I could only endure it. Anyway, being taken care like this doesn't feel too bad.
After I ate, I began to feel drowsy.
In this relaxed atmosphere, I crawl towards her and encircled my two little hands around her waist and laid my head to her growing chest.
“Eh? P-Prince Lyle? W-what…”
She couldn't finish what she’s saying because she noticed that I already closed my eyes.
She then also encircled her hands in my back and gently stroke it.
She lay down with me; I can still feel the warmth from her transferring to me. She squeezed my body gently and
said,
“Goodnight and sweet dreams my little prince♥!”
My drowsiness overtook me and I fell soundly asleep.
