Maria's POV
After giving birth I didn't want to be seperate from my son for even a single minute however after 4 months or so I did have to start working again. Francis has been in the capital for a while now and in his absense I have to manage everything in our territory. Naturally after I gave birth our vassals took care of all the work but I can't put such a big burden on them forever so I got back to work.
Its been 2 months now since I have started managing the territory again and it seems Will and Amy can both crawl around quite a bit. According to the maids they somehow get out of the room and crawl into random places and they have to carry them back all the time. Today it seems they somehow went to the library. Around noon Tina came to clean my office and told me how she found Will and Amy in the library and how Will wanted to play with a book. Apparently Will went through the pages almost as if he was actually reading them but thats not possible because he is only 6 months old. I assumed it was just his way of playing and didn't give it a thought.
When the sun was starting to set I had finished my work for the day so I went back to my room expecting to find the 2 kids to be playing but I say them both asleep on the floor. The wierd part was Will was sitting up and seemed to be concentrating on something. When I woke him up he seemed really confused for some reason and only calmed down when I took off my top to feed him. Thats when he made his usual creepy face that he makes everytime I take my breasts out to feed him. Its a shame because he is normally so cute. My milk is starting to run out too so I will have to start feeding him solid foods soon. Hopefully that creepy smile of his will change as he gets older.
It seems he finished up already. He looks so satisfied and cute now. Come on Will mommy will hug you close so we can both sleep peacefully.

Will's POV The next morning
When I woke up I was initially a bit annoyed and groggy but quickly got excited because Its breakfast time.hehe. I get to suck on moms beautiful tits again. My mom howevery didnt take her top off and instead said words that shook my entire world.
"Starting today I'm not going to breastfeed you Will, You are going to start eating solid foods!" She said with a lot of excitement. Meanwhile I cursed in my heart. This isn't fair! Why don't I get to suck on her titties! Now I won't get to suck on titties until I'm old enough to convince a girl to let me do it. Shit! However as a 6 month old baby I couldn't really put up much resistance and soon gave into eating solid food.
After breakfast mom left to do her work while Nila came by and dropped of Amy. Now I can get to practicing magic. I know that yesterday I said I would hold off on fire magic but after my whole world was destroyed this morning I have decided that I hold every right to burn down this mansion! So today I'm going to practice fire magic first.
To start of, Fire is created with combustion of Oxygen, or something close to that, Chemistry wasn't exactly my thing in Highschool and don't even get me started on college. Anyway I decide to use the mana in the air to gather a lot of oxygen in my palm and then after I gathered enough I used the mana in my body to combust the oxygen. Yes! It worked! As soon as the fire started burning I saw another blue screen.
You have learned Fire magic level 1!
A new skill! Now to keep the fire going I'll feed it more oxygen at a constant rate. Now I have a sustained fire but what would happen if I added more oxygen to it? If I keep adding more oxygen from the suroundings I'm gonna suffocate Amy and myself so I stopped that and instead used my own mana as the replacement of the oxygen and added more and more until the flame changed color. Its now a blue flame instead of the original orange. I can't feel any heat from it but I think thats because its my own magic and if I remember right blue fire should be hotter than normal orange fire. After the fire turned blue I saw 2 blue screens.
You have learned Variant Fire Magic level 1!
Would you like to combine Fire Magic level 1 and Variant Fire Magic level 1 to obtain Special Fire Magic level 2?
YES! NO!
Naturally I chose 'YES!'. Not only does my fire magic level up but it has special added to the name, that can only be a good thing. Now lets try the other types of magic.
I worked hard until close to noon when Tina came into the room to clean it and feed the two of us so I had to take a break. After she left, I got back to working on my different magic andby the end of the day I had gotten some good practice in with each type of magic. I did run out of MP many times during the day but over time it recharged and I was able to practice again. At the end of the day my status ended up like this.
Name William Lucifer Hargreed Race Human Age 0 lvl 0 HP 100/100 MP 0/110 STR 4 DEF 2 AGI 4 STM 2 INT 5 WIS 5 CHR 3 LUC 4 Special Blessings

I managed to level up all of the magic skills to 2 but I unfortunately don't know how to learn the variants for the other magic types so they aren't special but just the base skills. Also, Water Magic and Earth Magic were really annoying to practice because they made the ground wet or dirty so I had to open the window and practice while looking out the window. I hope no one saw me otherwise I could get into trouble.

3rd person perspective
Unfortunately for Will, someone did actually see him practicing his magic. That person was shocked beyond belief at the fact that a mere 6 month old child could not only use magic but chantlessly at that. She had never before heard of magic being used without a chant and until today believed it was impossible. At the very moment that Tina, who had been watching through a crack in the door from the very start, saw the blue fire that Will created she had decided in her heart to follow this strange young master for the rest of her life!
----------------------------------------
At the same time in a completely different and far away place 5 men sat at a table in a room without windows. The room seemed to be a basement and the only lighting was torches on the wall. The men were all rich enough to afford magic lights but didnt want to alert anybody of their schemings incase somone checked their spending. Of course no normal person could even harm a hair on their head for they were nobles of Philon Kingdom. At the head of the table sat Duke Patrick Kramsher. His gray hair was neatly combed while his similarly gray beard was perfectly trimmed. Duke Kramsher was 65 years old this year and it could be ssen in his face and his brown eyes that shone with the light of a schemer. The other 4 men were all Earls and they worked under the Duke. All 5 mean wore elegant clothing of various colors fitting for nobles at their status levels so naturally the Duke wore the most gaudy clothing.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"That damned Francis!" suddenly shouted Duke Kramsher with hatred that seemed to seep out from the depth of his bones. The other 4 nobles seemed to share in his anger and 1 of them felt extreme embarresment on top of his anger. His name was Earl Mashron Toralka, and only a month ago Duke Francis Alpheus Hargreed had embarassed him infrot of many nobles and even their king. All 5 of these men hated Duke Hargreed for their own reasons because he was just like them. A schemer, a greedy man who took from others whenever he could. They did not hate him for his nature but rather the fact that he had bested them many times over. They hated him so much that they had swalloed their pride and decided to come together and take from him. They were currently planning to hire assassins to raid his home, kills his family, and steal from his treasury as much as possible and burn whatever they couldn' carry out. This was something they had been planning for a while but this plan would still take time to come to fruition. Today again they discussed the plan and came closer to carrying it out. Only time will tell how this plan would affect them in the future but that future seems to still be quite far away.

Wills POV The Next Morning
I woke up and realized I was hungry. This realization lead to realize that once again today I would not be able to suck on those beautiful tits and would have to eat solid food. Oh, what a cruel world this is! I ate my breakfast still fed by mom but it isn't the same.
After mom left Nila came in and dropped off Amy. As always Amy became really excited when she saw me, such a cute little thing. Unfortunately Amy I'm not gonna be able to play with you again I have to practice my magic. I got to work right away. Today I want to see If I can make all of the different magic skills to be special so lets start with Darkness Magic.
The way I originally practiced darkness magic was according to the book which although it created like a blanket of darkness it wasnt perfectly dark so today I'm gonna try something else. From what I remember Darkness happens when Light is absorbed completely so what if I imagine a small ball of darkness which absorbs light and doesnt let it escape. Let's do it.
I started by closing my eyes and moving my mana to my right hand and imagining the mana escaping my hand and then revloving at the spot to turn into a small sphere. Once the sphere was created in my mind I then imagined the ball pulling in light from its surroundings and not letting it escape. I started off by imagine light slowly being pulled in and the sphere increasing in size little by little and as more light became absorbed by the ball I imagined the speed of light being pulled in increasing. I kept my eyes closed during the whole process.
I had been mainaiting the process for a while now and still had my eyes closed when I heard Amy crying so I opened my eyes to look at her and all I saw was complete Darkness. I moved my hand to where it would be right infront of my eyes and I still couldn't see it. I was lost in thought for a second about how amazing this magic is until I heard Amy's cry again. I quickly cancelled the magic and i hugged her close and consoled her to stop her crying.
I also saw a couple interesting blue screens.
You have learned Variant Darkness Magic level 1!
Would you like to combine Darkness Magic level 2 and Variant Darkness Magic level 1 into Special Darkness Magic level 2?
YES! NO!
It doesn't level it up but it still has special infront so I went with 'YES!'.
After Hugging Amy for a short while she stopped crying and I was about to start trying to learn the variants for other magic skills when I checked my status and saw I had no MP left. I guess I will have to take a little break and play with Amy.
I played with Amy for a little while and checked again to see that my MP was once again full so I started to work with other Magic types. I guess I'll work on Light next. Honestly I have no idea how this magic works. According to the book, what basically happens is that we make the mana in our body into a form and make it shine. Higher level magic of this type is what allows people to heal others but so far I just know the basic little ball of light type magic. The ball I create is bright enough to suppl light in exchange for a magic light or torch but wouldn't it be possible to turn it into a highpowered directed light blind someone? I'll try it out I guess.
Once again I close my eyes and direct mana to my right hand. This time instead of creating a sphere above my nad I point my hand outward and concentrate the mana into my palm.I pack more and more mana into it untill all the mana in my body is packed into a small circle in my palm. Then, I imagine all of that mana shining as much as possible at once. While I do that in my head I'm imagining outputting a beam of light of extreme intensity. The magic only lasts for a split second because I used all my mana in that initial use so I didn't have any mana to sustain the magic. Thats when I realized my mistake. I had my eyes closed so how would I know if ti worked or not? When I opened my eyes however I realized that it definitly worked. Because the wall that my had was pointing towards now had a clean hole. I'm not use how far the range on that magic is but its a good thing I pointed it towards the wall facing the outside of the mansion. Adn then I saw the familiar blue screens alongside 2 unfamiliar ones.
You have learned Variant Light Magic level 1!
Would you like to combine Light Magic level 2 and Variant Light Magic level 1 into Special Light Magic level 2?
YES! NO!
You have gained XP for killing Small Sparrow!
You have leveled up! You are now level 1!
Once again I chose 'YES!' for the prompt. Also I leveled up! I fist pumped the air and then saw Amy staring at me wierdly so I held back my excitement. I guess some unfortunate bird got caught up in my magic and that's how I got the XP. I'm gonna assume a normal person wouldn't be able to level up from killing just one small bird so the 100x boost should be in effect.
When I was thinking this suddenly Tina came in to the room. She must be hee to clean the room but what if she sees the hole? She seems a bit strange too like shes seena ghost and also she is out breath. All of sudden she ran up to me and tarted touching around as if she was making sure I wasn't injured. After thoroughly checking me she checked Amy and then came up to me and looked me in the eye.
"Master Will, please dont use magic like that. I was working in the garden and I saw a strong light come from this room and I was worried you might be hurt." she said calmly but forcefully. Ah shit! She knows I can use magic. This is probably not good. What if she tells mom or the other maids. They might think I'm some sort of devil that took over the actual Will. She must have seen my worried expression because she continued, "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I just want you to be caeful in the future. Please make sure you don't hurt yourself or Amy and try to make it a little bit less flashy." I nodded and then pointed to the hole. What are we gonna do about that?
"The hole? Lets see I can use a little bit of magic and it so happens Earth Magic is the only kind I can use. Ill fix it up from this side so atleast nobody would notice even though it won't be perfect." Then she fixed up the whole and unless you pay a lot of attention toward the spot or you already know about it you wont realize that there was a hole there. " Now lets get you two some lunch shall we?"
After feeding us Tina went back to doing her normal work but I didn't practice anymore magic for the day and thought about how I was going to secretly practice from now on. I know Tina won't tell anybody but I have to be carefull to make sure nobody else finds out about my magic practice.
Around sunset mom came back with Nila and they fed Amy and I. They talked to each other for a bit and then Nila took Amy with her to her room and mom huged me to sleep.
