It has been 2 years since the time I have decided to learn magic. During those 2 years I asked mum to read me some books which I slowly began to learn how to read. It seems that my baby body is learning quite fast because in only 1 year I have learn't how to read by myself. I guess my parents still doesn't know that I can read as they talk to me with a baby tone and try to take my books away when I hold onto them. Though one time they tried to take the book I was reading away. I went to grab another one again and again so they just left my books alone.
In those books I managed to learn many facts of this world. First of all this world is called ANEX and has three countries and unmapped land. By this I mean, this world has huge amounts of unmapped land and because those lands are filled with strong monsters, many people who ventured into those lands lose their lives. Those unmapped lands are called MYST.
The three countries are called OPELLO, DORAX AND LIFAM. OPELLO is a free country in the North where the two major races live side by side. The races are human and beastmen. These are the only humanoid race that exist. We will talk about those later. Back to geography. LIFAM is a country in the South that has huge discrimination against humans as the majority of the citizens there are beastmen. DORAX is a country in the West and is a just like LIFAM but instead of discrimination against humans, it has discrimination against beastmen. These three countries are only separated by a long and wide river which goes in three different directions. This river is called the ZAKAMON.
In another book about races I found information that is highly unscientific in my past life. There are two main races in the world. The human and beastmen. They are the only humanoid races and both of these races have something to do with spirits.
Humans are born with their own individual spirit. Spirit takes the shape of an animal and that animal spirit becomes your partner in life. Your animal spirit can be summoned whenever you want. Depending on your actions your animal spirit can grow. But just because they grow in strength does not mean your human self will grow as well. For humans to grow they take the hard way around while your spirit just leech off your training. Also for humans, the animal your spirit that is going to transform into is completely random. Your parent's spirit can be a cat and a dog and your spirit can be a bear. The spirit is the human's companion till one day the human will die. Spirits themselves cannot die. When they get defeated in battle they will disappear till you summon them again.
Beastmen are practically the same as humans as they too are born with their own individual spirit. But the major difference between beastmen and human are that the spirit in the beastman are fused into their bodies and the animal they take shape of comes from genetic. If your parents have a cat spirit or a dog spirit then you could be either one of those and that spirit would get fused with your body before you're born. Being a beastmen means you would have higher attribute in particular categories. An example is when your spirit is a boar then you would get born with higher strength than a human but lower intelligence. A beastmen also has characteristics of their spirit.
The reasons why some discrimination exist in some places are because of the knowledge and information these places provide. It is rather thankful that I was born in the country OPELLO.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
Besides these two races there are many monsters as well. These monster existed way before the existence of mankind and there are too many to count. All those except human and beastmen can be counted as monsters. Even animals can be counted as a type of monster.
These books have gave me an understanding of this world. It is very different than my old world as murder or a dual to the death is a very common thing in this world. The death of the policeman is still weighing on my mind but since I have decided this is a new start. I am going to start anew.
By following the instructions of a beginners magic book I went into a meditating state of mind. With this method I can feel my mana revolving around the inside of my body. First I tried moving my mana around my body going faster and faster but in less then a minute the mana was all gone. After 10 minutes the mana came back so I tried it again. This time it lasted a bit more than a minute. I looked through the book but it doesn't tell me why my mana pool grew.
I thought this is a good practice method so I trained like this every day for two hours. I also spend reading books and running around the house trying to get some exercise done.
My tasks now are to get 2 hours of mana training, 1 hour of running, 30 minutes of body stretches and the rest can be for reading or playing with my parents. I try to do this everyday if I can and I might increase the time later when I grow older.
My father is at home today and took us all out to eat dinner. We went to a restaurant that was popular in this village. The food that they served here was similar to chinese food we have in my past life. They had fried rice and buns but instead of pork it was rabbit meat. Although the taste was quite good.
While we were eating some drunk people sitting in the table beside us were flipping the tables and chairs. Everyone in the restaurant just stared at them but my dad stood up and went towards them.
"Would you please mind your manners. Many people are trying to have a quiet dinner"
"*snort* Whhy sshould i caare aboutt them!"
One of the drunk man started taking out his sword and so did my dad. They summoned their spirits. My dad had a horse spirit and the drunk man had a lizard spirit. Both of the spirits were 2 meters in height. WOW! I never thought spirits would be that big. The spirits clashed with each other and so did the two men. My dad dashed towards the drunk man and they began exchanging moves.
CLING! CLANG!
Noises and sparks can be heard from the exchange. A fearsome blow then comes from the drunk man from below but fortunately dad blocked it. With a fast swing dad knocked the drunk man's sword out of his hand. At the same time dad's horse spirit uses his back legs to stomp onto the lizard spirit.
