I stepped inside the altar. From afar the altar looks very normal to me but when looking up close it looks amazing, the rocks that encircle the altar has some hieroglyphs carving in each of them and they seems like a battery to the glowing of the rune in the area. I stepped inside the rune as instructed as soon as I entered the circle I closed my eyes. When I closed my eyes I feel my power flowing and glowing through my entire body then I pitch black darkness I saw a woman with long and slick black hair and wearing only her black undergarments is carrying a black flame in her hands as she smirked towards me. Subsequently she said those words that is going to forever stuck at my mind
“ Your future awaits your dominance”
Afterwards her face with black hollow eyes suddenly appears close in front of me then I woke up only to know that the ritual is over. That dream was a thrilling and haunting experience for me that explains why my face look pale at that time. The head priest shocked to see my results and proceed to tell me and the whole audience who was there my results. People’s eyes including mom’s is looking towards me and the head priest. Time ticking by as the head priest began to utter his words aloud. From the immediate silence I can hear people gulping and gasping as their faces tells me that they are curious for what the head priest would like to say.
“ Sir Renitia Claudius you are the rarest of all I’ve tested in my 20 years of serving as the head priest, only people 1 in every 100 years has the same results as you are now, your mana pool as astounding as it sounds is a magnificent
People in the crowd excluding my mom burst in laughter.
“What a ONE! What an unlucky bastard”
“People that are living in poverty now has a minimum pool of 2!
I saw the whole crowd as they were laughing at me and I feel very much ashamed. My dreams, my confidence, mental state is shattered at the very same moment. I thought to myself why is this happening? Why am I blessed this way in this world? I started to blame this world’s goddess for making me this way. I kneel and utter this words while looking to the sky.
“ So Goddess this is what you want
“Did you look at his face when the head priest is trolling him along the way? His smile is getting bigger the longer the priest trolling him then he is shattered to depravity whilst not knowing what sarcasm is
Then mom suddenly appears to the crowd hugging me while tears coming down from my and my mother’s eyes.
“ Its okay, having a low mana pool doesn’t mean that you will not succeed in life. You only need to work hard to achieve your dreams and do not stop chasing it eventhough the roads may not work to well for you.”
That is the words that saved me from total depravity. Mom is not at all disappointed with my results and she keep supporting me no matter my conditions. Fast forward I was at the streets with my mom looking for something to eat. I was so embarrassed at my results that I decided to cover my left hand one mark because apparently all results is printed on people’s left hand. That sign is also a way cocky people boasted about themselves and shy people to hide it. My carriage is currently in the repair shop so me and my mom is tuck wandering around the capital until the maintenance is over which is at the evening. As me and my mom desperately finding some place to eat we finally found a restaurant. As we both get into the restaurant a waiter noticed us.
“ May I ask to show your sign milady.”
“ My goddess! please, welcome in my lady and your son we have special seats for people who has a pool of 6 or above.”
The waiter were so nice to me and my mother, they showed us our seats. The waiter and waitress all gently smiled at us while we are going to our seats as a sign that we are very welcome here.
The so called ‘VIP’ room here is beautiful decorated and I also petrified to see a beautiful diamond chandelier dangling in the ceiling right above us. The waiter showed us the foods and we ordered them. Then as the food arrived they put our napkins on our thighs and when I was at the difficulty in eating the waiter gently smiled and say
“ Here master let me feed you if you need more just tell me me Jeremy okay
They all treated me and my mom like gods then my napkin in my left hand slightly loose and the number in my hands showed a little bit then as I feared Jeremy saw my left hand. As he saw that he fixes my napkin on my left hand and surprisingly he served me more diligent than ever. Maybe there is someone out there not as evil as the people back then. After me and my mom finished eating my mom ask the waiter for the bill. As we waited for the bill my napkin suddenly falls off from my left hand at the same time the waiter has brought out the receipt and saw my hand. The waiter suddenly become aggressive and shouted at my mom
“ Madam may I informed you that we don’t allow pets here and clearly you have brought one.”
My mind breaks once again, it is like then people are staring at me and pierce me with those disgusted eyes. Then I looked to Jeremy and he also joins the crowd to loathe at me the very same fun and elder brotherly-like person who has tolerated me when clearly back then he saw my hand said this words coming from his mouth
“ Well I did see a glance of his number but I thought it was a 10 because his mother has an eight, wow I just serve a dog at one point in my career.”
Surprisingly many waiter and waitress here serve the larger pools because they always leave a big tip for them if they serve thoroughly as judging by their comments. The waiter that is gentle is now being rough for me. In my defence my mom raised these words
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“ Listen all of you for what I have to say why would a pool divided us like this, everybody should be treated evenly it doesn’t matter if our pool is different were all the same.”
After all of that the crowd stopped loathing about me the atmosphere is awkward and silence. Then my mom and I walked out of the restaurant I still can see many people glaring with their twisted eyes at me while they whisper and giggle with one another
“ He is such a baby have to be protected by his mommy all the time.”
“ Shush if the dog hears you he will barked to—HIS MOM
Along the way I grabbed my mom’s hand and hide my face. My mom pats my head while heading towards the exit and tries to calm me down with yet another of her inspiring words. This is the pivotal words she utter that would change my perceptive towards this world and build my confidence once again.
“ It doesn’t matter who you are if you are here to make changes because something will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone.”
At that exact moment I vow myself to change people’s perspective regarding victuses and fix this broken class systems. On my way back to my home I saw a very traumatising site of Zakoria. Every time I see this city I remember all the bad things I experienced during my time at this city and for the longest time I wanted to avoid ever coming into that city again. After that Zakoria incident I was reluctant to see anybody besides the people that I’ve already known I’ve become the so called anti-social. Along the road I kept thinking to myself if I wanted to make this country a better place for victus what should I do first. At that point I don’t even care that I’m the protagonist or not I just wanted all of this to change. When I arrived at my home I ask my mom to teach me to become stronger.
“ Mom I want to change this broken system and to do so I need to become stronger far stronger than I am now.”
My mother looked at me with her eyes as I said those words, I thought to myself why? Is she mad? I she not willing to? Then she spoke while her knees bent to the floor while she subtlety smiles with her soft eyes staring to me
“No, not me I can’t teach something that is different from my colour if you need a teacher you need a person stronger than me and more skilled at the battlefield, fortunately I have someone in mind.”
After a small talk with mom I then proceed to go to bed. Whilst I was on my bed I asked myself
Who is this someone in mind? What does he looked like? And is he that strong? Even stronger than my mom with a level 8 pool? That kind of questions usually excite me that build up my passion and spirit and since he will come by the day after tomorrow. I cant wait to be trained under him. I can imagine something like a legendary general come to train me like many anime and manga I’ve read. The next day I came to thought that I should train by myself for a while until this teacher comes. Luckily my house has a very big library, I walked into the library there I saw many book shelf as tall as 10 meters spanning across the room. There is so many books around here and there is a lot to choose from from beginner to advanced. Then while I was looking for a book suddenly there is a book fell on top of my head, the book is heavy and my head is a bit hurt by that. After I stopped scratching my head I bent to take up the book. When I looked at the book the book is slightly bigger than any book in the entire shelf it is also black in colour with a red s
Carved at the cover of that book. I went to the nearby desk and opened the mysterious book to only find a blank book at my hands. I was very confused at that time and I thought to myself how can a book be a book without anything on it. As I closed the book my finger suddenly got a paper cut and bleeds. As my blood drenched the front page the book started glowing in purple and words starting to come out in English. This is the most confusing thing I’ve ever experienced, how can English be in this world whilst clearly that language belonged in my previous world. But remembering it now, that an unknown and mysterious book that I’ve found years ago is very useful tool i’ve used even now and without that I couldn’t even come close to have this kind of power in me. Remembering things that shape me today kinda reminds me of how my life is if mom still alive and how peaceful life is without having to kill people like now. The book explains itself to be a blank and unowned grimoire that needed my blood to activate in order to know what colour I am and be its master. This is very coincidental to me on how an unused grimoire perfectly fall out of nowhere at the same time I was walking. This book explains to me throughly about the weakness and strengths of a purple class magician. Although i’ve already known the properties of a purple class magician this book explains far deeper than my mom did. For instance I know purple class magicians utilise their mana to form anything pictured in their mind but this book explains that you not only to picture it you need to feel the atmosphere of it and details is the most important of all. This book explains, if you imagine a knife you not only image the shape but also the sharpness, how will it affect others, what type of material it used? hard, soft, light, etc. I found purple class magic needs a high amount of imagination for itself to be utilised completely. This book taught me the basics and now I can make a knife on my own in just one day. Back then I used 3 words to describe this book. This book is amazing if I continue to learn from this book I can become stronger in no time, this book is also fascinating as I still learn all of this solely from the first page only, But this book is also mysterious as it is still unclear about the origins of this book but despite all of that I decided that this book will be my epitome of knowledge and I will still used it to fulfil my dreams. Apparently this book has every page numbered at the end of right hand corner and each pages is numbered until 1000 that can only be revealed if I already truly mastered all the skills that has been taught to me at the previous page. Seemingly since the next page won’t show up I assume that I have not yet mastered the knife well this also proved on how my formed knife cannot even hurt me and so I practiced by feeling the knife and using the knife all day long by using a real knife to cut food and cut myself to feel the pain when being cut by one. At night I brought the book that I left at the library to my bedroom. Then after reading the first page one last time I closed my eyes, imagine, and concentrate a knife a tool and a weapon to cut, it has a wooden handle and has a cold metal blade that is sharp as it can hurt others it it was used as a weapon. After all that concentrating I finally form a perfect knife out with my own aura for the first time. For the first time in my new life I feel like a winner, my confidence is restored and all the problems that i’ve faced before vanished inside my mind. Then I tested the knife on myself and the result is exactly like a real knife would do. Then the book started a glow and when I checked on it page 2 was unlocked and I was thrilled to see what could I learn next. By that time it is already midnight so I went to bed rather than continuing my lessons. While I was asleep I dreamt about the same woman that i’ve seen before at the altar. Back then I cannot see her very clearly but now I can see her with magnificent clarity she has a petite white-skinned body with small-sized breast and back, her height is about the same as mine, her hair is long and black in colour her hollow eyes are gone and replaced with beautiful scarlet eyes, she wears a black tank top and underwear with black long sleeves on both of her hands.
“ Finally you have awakened your power master, and I will be beside you forever.”
As she said those words I started to get the feeling like have I watched this type of thing somewhen in my previous life. Then she come closer to my face too close perhaps and with her skinny and slick arms touched my cheeks she kissed me as she keeps kissing me with passion I can feel energy come flowing down my throat. My right hand starting to carved a symbol and I can feel power from it as she keeps kissing me my body started to glow in dark purple aura then everything intensifies, I feel burn in my bodies and I started to feel pain in my right arm, many glowing rune-like symbols appear on my right hand arm. The pain won’t stop then as I started to lose consciousness she suddenly disappears and I woke up from my dreams to only realised that it is already morning. I noticed something changed with my body on my right hand now there is a large red coloured rune-like tattoo spanning from my middle finger to my wrist. My voice became deeper and my appearance also changed and for some reason I became slightly taller. My eyes started to become slightly slanted its like my eyes become serious and focused all of the sudden. This appearance apparently making me look more handsome and mature in some way and by the way that was my own opinion.This is astounding because in this world I just turned 10 2 days ago. Then when I am exploring my new looks a strange sound like someone waking up is coming from my bed. Then suddenly the woman in my dreams earlier that night appears and was looking like she was waking up. Who is this woman? Why is she in my room? What is she doing here?
“
I thought to myself in my mind right now that my life from now and onwards is going to get a hell lot crazier from here on out.
