Well gotta get a grip of the Date and time now.

And i think i gotta a few hours before my mum barges in again to feed me.

so instead of training my muscles more i decide i try a bit about mana and magic

Just how? I know so many ways how it could work from all these fictions i consumed trough the internet….

I got the meditating skill maybe i can use that….yea that is logical to use mana or whatever power i need for magic i first need to feel it then control it or lead it or coax it to my bidding? So many variables!

So crossleg? Jep classical i will try that.

So now…..right i need to empty my mind then feel for what i want to fell but what is that?

Mana? Inside my body or outside? Do i need to form a core or circle like in some storys?

Damnit to many thoghts calm down i will first try the open mana vein route….

'Breathe','empty mind'

I do not know how long i was sitting there iin deep concentration but at some point i was able to see something? I was hard at work not to think to much to let the mind be empty and i saw something my concentrated breathing in sync with my will i began to absorb those motes of light i grinned accidentaly and everything was gone from my closed eyes i cursed like an old seamen because i was about to refine this Mana Breathing i was accidentaly doing and one look told me i was at it for hours and then….

**BAM**

My mom came into the room to feed me……

I was not looking into my stats for some time just because i decided that i will not look into it.

I do not want to become some crazy maniac who just hunts more stats sure i will train like hell and most of my childhood and after that but i will not become obsessed over it i want to enjoy the little things in life.

But one thing i did manage the mana vein route is a fucking complete succsess! Not only that i incorpurated another mana system into that!

Mana vein let me use mana freely almost without restrictions in the output department by ony using a bit of mana to affect the surounding mana in the air at least that is the therory behind it though i do not have spells to test it out yet i can now feel and see that it is a sucsess if everything in the therory is real then i must just be carefull to not let any other mages mana mess with my mana or he could counter my spell to explode early change target back to me or such nonesense

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

The other mana system is a core splitting system a core of mana is gathered in the heart and after enough mana is acumulated the core splits into another one the more cores the more of a mana pool i have and this if this is real like in the fictions these cores will help me tremendously in physical or also called body reinforcements if this circle magic is a thing here i can also suplement this system for the circels by spinning the cores in a circle but the problem with that i would first need absolute precise mana controll while also casting magic to pull this off if this is possible.

Damn so many things i have to find out in the future!

And if i want to use the full potential of this core system i will need both a body of steel and a full on body reformation if that is possible or my heart will most likely explode by the try to use that technique……

Almost four Years Flew by in a flash i am still 4 i will be 5 in 3 more months and today i got some worrying news.

While i was playing with my sister inside the little house my mother and father talked to each other thinking i could not heart them.

Well mana breathing is a second nature by now i am even able to conceal my mana intake because the normal full on absorbtion mode would normaly create a mana aura around one llike a flame and inside mana breathing still with an limiter it still does highten all senses so i was still able to hear trough the wall.

"cedric Ray is worring me."

"i know sweety but he seems fine he eats well and a lot….i guess his body needs this i do not know how but his body has more muscles than me and i am a Guard with lots of training"

"and he has mana" my mom added i almost choked because i tought i had it tightly sealed to not be exposed.

'damn either mum is just good or her intuition told her'

"he…what?!" my dad almost cryed out.

"he has, he accumulates it inside his heart like a knight or Royal guard that is why his muscles are constantly under stress and grow as a response i say this as a retired high healer it is a fact"

'Royal?! Fuck, wait mum is a high healer?!' i thought while not letting amy know that i was troubled

"he has to stop! It could destroy his muscles and body!" my dad said outraged but aperantly my mom stoped him.

"no cedric his body is building ontop of this stress he will be much muuuch more resilient and stronger. His mana thing he has going it is not what is worrying me dear"

"what else could be more worrying than a four year old that aperantly mastered a knights mana training all on his own?"

"he is so disinteressted in other children Ced. Sure he loves and is affecionate to amara and Ethan but they are his siblings but the other children are how do i put it it is like they are just an distraction for him."

"i know Celia i also picked that up….ray is a special case i guess…..they will take him in right?"

'whaiiiiit' i froze by my dads last words amara was noticing this fore sure and whas looking at me with interesst what is happening

"most likley Cedric on 25th of goldleaf the temple will come and assess all children of five years his status might trigger them to take him in for education, training…and so on"

"what?" i whispered and amara asked "what?" as well lookin confused but i patted hear head and smiled "thought i heard something" i said to my sis to not worry her.

'nope oh hell no nope! I want to learn jep but i will not be taken!' i toughht inside my head.

"maybe….we can just wait and maybe teach him one or two things before he gets taken into the wide world out there"

'father that will not happen! When i will go, i will go on own accord' i screamed inside my head

"spoken like a true father i love you honey" "i love you too sweety" the conversation ended there but for me a new thing added

I opened my quest log and added an entry 'Defeat the temple assessment on the 25th goldleaf and conceal your satus' with this logged in i smiled and said softly "Challange and quest accepted. Time to grow up" what prompted my sister to ask "what?" again. i just reacted with a "nothing" and played again with her because today was her day.
