"Uhaa!"
I yawn rejuvenated, the last night was just very exhausting.
And I had just the weirdest shit as a dream.
I was kidnapped, nearly raped and barely saved from very cruel things.
I sweep my surroundings with my, still tired, eyes.
“Hah, good it's Hiras room.”
I feel a little more relieved.
Slowly try to wipe the sleep out of my face, with my sleeve.
“Boom”
Suddenly the door to Hiras room flings open and nearly breaks out of the hinges.
“Cleo! Cleo! You are awake, finally!”
rashly my brain assorts and reacts, without hesitation I am hugged tight.
“Ah Mn. Of course I would wake in the morning Hira.”
I try to free myself from Hiras strong grip, but she ends up only using more force.
“Yes, is it? You slept for three entire days now! I already thought you would never wake again!”
Her tone changes into a slightly sobbing wail
“Wha? Three days, I've slept for three days?”
Surprise was never my friend, but three days...
why would I sleep three days.
“Yes! Dad already started to think you would've suffered serious mental damage, since you were...”
She claims my body so tight, that I nearly hear my back break, while she sobs in my ears. Until a heavy stepped mans voice interrupts Hira sternly.
“That's enough Hira!”
It's Simjon who reprimands Hira
“Ah, I am sorry. I didn't want to incline about what happened.”
Hira instantly loosens her grip on me and apologies to me and Simjon
“What does she mean, what happened?”
Still not quite sure about the situation right now, I ask.
“Hm, so you don't remember? Say Cleo, do you remember what happened the day before you slept?”
What's with the sudden turn of attitude? Simjon turns completely serious and takes a seat besides the bed.
What happened before I slept?
I try to recall my last memories...
“I was in the town, together with you. And we visited a nice Cafe and then... and then? Ara? I don't remember any further. What has happened?”
I try to recall as hard as I can, but something continuously blocks a special section of my train of thoughts.
It feels as if a white barricade has been erected and every time I try to pass there, the thoughts get foggy until they suddenly fade completely.
“Mn, just as I thought. Don't worry Cleo, those memories will eventually come up again. And when it's time, never forget, we are here.”
Again something feels strange, am I missing something out here? Simjon turns over me and gently caress my hair.
“I... I don't understand. What has happened?”
I... don't tell me that dream...
A sudden realization hits me hard.
A flush of thoughts beats within my brain, just like a huge drum being hit, I feel an immense headache.
Ping!
You suffered a minor psychological trauma! Debuff:Headache Duration: 10 minutes
Whaat!
“Argn!”
the pain is really harsh, it feels as if my head is about to explode... They call that minor??
I pull my hands forth, to cover my head at the temples and start massage them slightly.
Whilst that, a steady train of memories is rushing through my mind and I recall everything that happened.
It appears as very clear images before my eyes. And it's as if I would've suffer through it live again.
“Cleo! What happened?! Dad do something!”
Ah Hiras voice, it's so loud. I clench even more on my temples.
“Don't worry, it's just the aftermath of her slight amnesia. It will be over soon.”
Haa, a cool sensation presses itself on my mind, it must be Simjon who is using some special kind of treatment.
What ever it is, it works. The pain is releasing bit by bit and I manage to slow down the pace of memories rushing down on me.
After a few minutes, sweating and panting heavily, my vision clears and the pain has suspend.
Just like that, I have regained my lost memories.
Though I wish I would've forgotten about everything forever.
“You feel better now Cleo?”
The calm and gentle voice reaches out to me and I look up into Simjons kind smile.
“Mn, a lot better. And... and I remember now. I am sorry!”
The recovery of my memories has just put me in an awkward situation right now.
How embarrassing, I feel how my head is bent down in guilt and sorrow.
Simjon said they knew from the beginning, so it should be ok, right?
But why is it that my heart feels so heavy, now that I look at his and Hiras kind faces?
“Cleo, don't you dare to say sorry to me!”
Simjon suddenly berates me
“I..I”
I am taken aback without words
“Cleo, if anyone here is to apology it would be me! For letting my attention slip and let that happen to you. Cleo, I am terribly sorry.”
What... Simjon bows his head to me and presses me into his embrace.
“Can you forgive me?”
Without hesitation he whispers into my ear
“Mn, mn!”
What's this warm feeling within my chest. Something within me feels so boiled up
like the simmering of recently dimmed embers
I feel the warmth fluid on my cheeks gushing down. I cry, but this are tears of relief.
So that's it, what a family is huh?
In my previous lifetime on earth, I barely had any connection of importance for my family.
Most of the important parts, like father and mother have neglected me in the early states of my childhood.
And due to a little sister, who got always pampered, I grew up mostly stuck alone.
Such as warmth of a family hug or even much praise are as good as unknown for me.
Sometime I juts grew accustomed to the needlessness of body contact or deeper bonds. It was just a thing that happens to others. Not relevant for me at all.
But now, this feeling is so satisfying. And it's filled with warmth and kindness. Maybe this reincarnation had just a bad of a start.
“Hik, Why are you, hik, crying too Hira.”
I look up and see how Hira wipes her face clear from her tears and can't hold a relived smile.
“Ahh, it's just so.. ah you meany!”
Hira stomps with her feet and finishes freeing her face from tears.
“Ähem, well alright then. We should go downstairs, I bet Lira has finished breakfast prep already.”
Simjon clears his throat, a little embarrassed. His face slightly red, he steps towards the door.
“I'll be waiting downstairs.”
Is that a blush? Nah can't be.
Simjon leaves the room and goes downstairs.
“So uhm Cleo, shall I help you dressing?”
Hira remains in the room and weirdly grins at me.
“I can manage that myself!”
I feel the sudden increase of heat rushing up my face.
This damn girl, I am not a child...
“Hehe, ok. But don't fret, I am always ready to help you.”
Hiras smile becomes wider and with a chuckle she leaves the room.
Thank goodness, at least she has so much deceit.
Not that I actually hate being treated like that from her, it's just that...
“Ahh” I sigh
I can't really let go of my previous gender. My thoughts are still stuck in a world where I am strong, tall and most importantly, bearded!
My clothes are totally sweaty, this “minor” ( my arse minor) trauma hurt like hell!
I really need to get some pain resistance.
Wait, didn't I actually have such a skill already?

As I thought, there are some recent changes.
It seems that some of my stats have increased with my level. I gained five level, maybe I should have thanked those bastards before smashing them to pieces...
But the increases in my stats are not very worth mentioning.
Although I have someone to compare my stats to...
If I remember correctly there are some of my stats, that are quite higher than that of a special old wizard I met... and his level was not even comparable to my meager level of five.
Does that mean that I started really strong, without exactly knowing of it.
“Inquire wisdom” I say quietly, don't want Hira to hear me.
Wisdom This main attribute is important for little girls to inquire more about their
own capability to remember things. With this is determined how successful
you can solve problems and how fast you can invent a strategy.
Additionally, the higher this attribute, the more magic affinities you can use.
So this high count of wisdom is needed for all my magic affinities, though it seems I've gained a lot benefit from it as well.
“Cleo? Hurry up, Dad says he's going to eat everything alone.”
Hira sounds through the door
Ah, I need to check some other details after breakfast.
~grumble~
And damn am I hungry...
Guess it has to be expected, after all I haven't eaten for three days. So much self cooked meat that I've missed...
I hurriedly switch from my sweaty clothes into a new set, deciding that my really needed bath can wait till I've finished eating.
“Finally, what took you so long?”
Hira chirps at me, as I step outside the room.
Seems she has been waiting until I've finished.
“Mn, nothing. Just some aftermath of the headache” I wryly smirk, hoping she is satisfied
Hira steps in front of me and circles around me, like a vulture she locks onto her pray and suddenly seizes a good hold onto my middle parts “Hee, suspicious. Are you sure you haven't inspected something else.”
With a sarcastic tone, Hira chirps in my ears and squeezes my two, small parts of interest.
I can only exert a surprised squeak. “Hyaa! Hey, what, what are you doing?”
“Oh, come on Cleo. I bet you have reached that age already, Don't you want them to grow faster? Let me give you a small massage, they'll take it up in size afterwards, you know.”
I am abused! Literally... Hira, that perverted girl slowly caress my breast
“Do they really grow faster, when they are massaged?” I parenthetically ask
Wait no...what the fuck am I asking.. well it's a mystery many men are troubled with.
I feel a slight and arousing heat flooding my body. “St...stop that! Didn't we need to go down?”
I manage to slip from her grip and escape through her arms. My face must be beet red and I rashly turn towards the staircase. Hira is a dangerous girl... this was a dangerous situation.
“He he, coming, coming.” Hira strangely replies
and I can picture her conspired grin far too precise.
I ignore that for now and skip down the stairs. Simjon and Lira are already waiting at the table, as I enter. A heartfelt and warm smile on Liras face welcomes me into the dinning room. “Cleo, dear. Are you alright? You look much better than before.”
“Mn, I am all good now.” I brightly response with a smile myself.
I am indeed feeling very well. Maybe considering the fact that I can finally enjoy my level-ups.
I am clearly overexcited to see what I can do with my skill points.
“Make sure to eat your share completely Cleo. You must be starving.” with a, nearly subconscious, move, Lira pulls the chair back and I take my seat.
It seems as if Simjon has no patience anymore, he stands up and loudly yells at the staircase. “Hira! Come now! Even Cleo is here already, what are you doing anyways?”
Wasn't she directly behind me? What's she doing...
“Yes! I am here, I am here.” And with a short and happy reply, the point of subject appears besides me, grinning in a way which causes me far to much unease.
She must be up to something.
“Hm, Hira you are too leisure. You can't let people always wait for you or letting them call you multiple times.” The slightly grumpy mustache man, Simjon, berates Hira with a daring rise of his eyebrow.
“Yeeees~ I will pay more attention next time.” the straightforward girl snakes to Simjon and hugs him, and favorably loosens his expression to the better. Hira really seems to know her way with her fam... our family.
“Ah, by the way, Cleo before I forget about it. I got you a new appointment at the REO, to be precise it's this afternoon.” Lira mentions absent minded and suddenly stares at the time-planer in her hands, as she realizes that the meeting is today.
Simjon nearly spills the content of his mouth all over the table. “ It's today! Honey why haven't you mentioned that earlier?”
“Ha, I am sorry. It's just... I totally lost the time when Cleo slept.” Lira gasps for some air, but manages to straighten her voice into the not hysterical version.
“I guess I have to inform Nina then.” A sigh leaves Simjon and he frantically stuffs himself with everything he manages to push into his mouth. And that's a lot, obviously this family has some unshared secrets about having ancestors in the hamster-demihuman race...
with fully stuffed cheeks, Simjon leaves the dinning room and vanishes. Only leaving the utterly ridiculous image of his stuffed face, he literally looks like a pufferfish, a mustached pufferfish.
“I am sorry to overrun you with that already Cleo... I hope you are ok with that?” Lira worriedly asks me. The air around my neck turns slightly cold and I shudder at the thought of what has happened the last time.
“Don't worry! This time I'll accompany you and Nina will be there as well. You haven't forgotten about Nina right?” Hira charmingly proclaims
“How could I forget about Nina? She is a nice person, she carried me away.” I ridicule Hiras stupid question with a slightly crooked smirk. Definitely not befitting a girl, but who cares anyways.
It's true Nina is a very caring person. And I will definitely remember to treat her good as well.
I look back at Lira, focusing my mind on her question. Will it be ok to walk the same place so fast after the incident. Damn, what am I? A pussy?
“Mn, If Nina is there too, I won't fear anything.” Also I do have my secret technique now, I will see who dares to take me on lightly.
“Huh? What about me Cleo? I'll be there as well to protect you!” Of course the brown haired and freckled girl couldn't resist this chance to include herself in the conversation. Hira is a really cheery girl and I think she would be perfectly befitting the title of a beauty, if only not for her perverted mind.
But I do like her a lot, even if I don't want to admit that fact openly... no never
With that, the discussion is already over and I am send into the bath, luckily Lira decided to place a lock onto Hiras eagerness to bath with me.
So I was currently alone inside the overly huge bathtub and had some time to check for my stats.
A little disappointed at the fact that my other stats only do the obvious.
My strength enhances my bodily power output.
My agility implies how agile I am...how surprising it is then, that my stamina proclaims how much endurance I have.
The only interesting thing was, that my intelligence stat, somehow is not connected to my mana reservoir. It only states how good of a learner I am. It bears huge similarities to the wisdom stat.
I wonder if those two stats have a surprise prepared if I level some more.
But now for the really interesting stuff. I am still in the bathtub and I should still have some time left.
“Show skillpoints.” I've seen them already when I called for my status screen, if I am correctly then there should be 30 points.
Ping!
Skillpoints: 30The most want and most hunted and most precious thing an adventurer can have...
TADA! SKIIIIIILLLLPOIIIINTS!
Fantastic? YESS
Do you want to scream your joy now? OF fucking course.
And to top off everything said , you my dearest, greediest piece of wonderful enjoyment!
Yes the little girl who's reading this, have the absolutely not op skill to gain a random amount
of skillpoints every fucking level, ranging from at least 4-20
Ladies and gentlemen a drumbass please..... drrr....drrrr.....drrrrrr badum ts~
You will have more skillpoints than the highest entity of this world, when you reach level
1000.
Patients are requested to consult their doctor or pharmacist in the event of severe or unusual
symptoms following the vaccination.
What the literal fuck did I just summon into my vision. My face turns into a flabbergasted expression, whilst I scrutinize the sudden and ridiculous window in my vision.
A random amount of skill points? Dafuq who da hell has asked for a random amount...
I will excavate this puny gods arse and then... and then!
So how do I actually use my skill points?
Hmm let me try something. “ Skill up Fortitude.”
Ping!
How many skillpoints do you want to invest in Fortitude?Please enter the sufficient amount. It can never exceed your
current amount of skillpoints. It can never exceed the skill-
limit of 10. Fortitude is currently at level 1.
9
I enter the cipher 9. I mean I have 30 points at my disposal and fortitude seems quite useful, so why not max lvl it already. I wonder if 10 is the ultimate max amount for skills. If so, I would be very curious how many skillpoints any other person is getting per level.
I make a mental note, to learn more about that later.
Ping!
Fortitude is now lvl 10 (max) Ouhh, you've done it now, have ya?
the world of masochism is yours, simmering coals are hot?
Pah, you don't understand those scrutinizing people, what's there
to have some as your breakfast. A nail-board as your bed?
Why not? I mean it's just some piercing iron, supposed to tore
through everything it's used on...well apparently not you.
You tore yourself into the nails, not the nails into you.
Now seriously, you are literally pains best friend and will resist the
natural shock of pain, when loosing a limb or being fatal wounded.
But beware, pain is never completely suppressed.
“Ohh sweet” I chirp in a happy voice
This skill is just perfectly matched for my immortality. But though I am curious on how resistant I might have become, I have the deep urge to not hurt myself. But always a good to have for the future.
So 21 skillpoints left huh. Where should I invest those...
“Show skill list.”
Ping!

Mhh enticing sounds nice, but I'm scared that if I skill that to the max...will people be influenced by that all the time or can I trigger that effect.
Nah who cares, IOLF.
(IOLF= I only live forever)
“Skill up enticing.”
I nearly tumble over my own feet and sink deep into the water. Damn.
Ping!
Enticing reached lvl 10 (max) Roses are red,
who looks at you and doesn't fret
is soon to be dead.
A nice poem for the irresistible queen.
Snowhite would turn black at your appearance.
Uhm, nice...I guess...
Oh and I definitely need to lvl mana manipulation.
Ping!
Mana manipulation reached lvl 10 (max) You have full control, are you S&M?
You have full access to your complete mana and you know how
to blast things up with it. Isn't that great.
PS: don't drop your entire mana pool in a concentrated blast, that would be not ok!
And I mean it!
DOn't do it!
Seriously don't go off, destroying planets, OK?!!
It seems that my entire mana pool has a frightening might... at least to some special entity who likes to spin retarded skill windows...
So far, I've spent 25 points.
Maybe it would be best to preserve those. I never know when I'll level up next or what kind of opportunity might occur for me to gain a new skill.
POV Schild Wut
I am at my study desk, the high tower of my beloved academy, is still my favorite place to be. I've to thank the Headmaster for entrusting me this lovely lair of peace and comfort sometime.
Ah but this file of paper work really is something else, who would've thought that this sly fox of a captain seriously reports on me to the high council.
“Haaa” I sigh deeply
And all of that just because of her... Yes this girl is something special...
Her attack really surprised me there, if I hadn't reacted right in time... that blast of raw power could've easily blown me apart, ah what am I thinking, it could've blown the whole complex apart.
I really need to get her in closer, what a powerful talent. Mhh too bad that Vastgard has his eyes close on me, maybe I really should've gone the normal way. But even though, the chance was great and the opportunity perfect.
No reason to ransack my thoughts about the past.
I shift my eyes over the next question on the paper file on my desk.
“Did you want to show that small defenseless girl your “wand” ?
A vein over one of my eyes pops out...
My eyes start to twitch immensely
“WHAAT ARE THEESE QUESTIONS ABOUT???? WHAT HAS THIS BASTARD TOLD THEM?!!”
I feel my face swelling from anger
All the questions are about some very suggestive stuff. I can't hold it anymore.
The next question.
“Are you into “Educating” small girls with your ruler?”
The fire in my lungs swells up and I feel it, the loose of control...
“Knock, Knock”
I somehow ignore the knocking at my door.
And absent minded read the next question.
~creach~ the door flings open
But I have only registered that as some unimportant thing right now.
“RAGHH, YES THE NEXT SMALL GIRL I SEE WILL BE “EDUCATED” BY ME”
The next question breaks my self control, I impertinently gesture with my hand some obscene and vulgar gestures.
“Ähem... Sir vice Headmaster?!” The voice of a middle aged women interrupts me and takes me back on planet earth.
“Huh?! Oh Äh, well you see...” No, why now... Am I cursed or something
In midst of my door is a person, I should know pretty well.
“It's those papers... they just, ask and I...” I try to explain myself, but suffer a great loss of words
“I understand sir vice Headmaster. Those questions can be quite, disturbing.” The middle aged women, the wife of a special someone whom I have to thank for those papers to begin with, saves my loss of words.
With a poof sound I fall back into my comfy arm chair.
“How can I help you, Mrs. Vastgard?” I unnerved look at the women
“May I take a seat?” She knows her behavior, at least a good sign
I gesture her to take place in one of the two chairs in front of my desk.
“Thank you. Well as you might know, I am soon to be mother of two children, Cleo and Hira.”
Well where might this end in?
“Of course, I am well aware... And as matter of fact both of them seem to be prodigies with magic.
Your first daughter, Hira has astonishing potential. She even reached the top 100 of our academies top list and her grades are by far, very honorable. But I doubt that this is the concern for your visit today, am I right?”
I settle back to my grandfatherly voice and observe Lira Vastgards reaction
“Mn, as you might already named the concern for my visit today, I shall directly proceed. It's about my soon to be second daughter, Cleo. As you might know of her powerful magic, I fear her control for spoken one is very deficient. And due to her age I fear, it's a little early to enter school for her.”
I feel the need to interrupt her here.
“So you came here, in hopes for me to... for example help her learning control?”
HO HO maybe my luck isn't all that bad.
“You've said it. I know of your interest in Cleo and your reputation is very good around the academy, as well as in our town, which is unusual for an archmage to be popular with the normal folks.” Lira sways her eyes in hope at me.
“Ho, Ho. Of course I would be glad to help her. I would even go as far as suggest her to become my private disciple. How about it? And I naturally promise that she will be cared for like a treasure. I even grant her a scholarship at our academy.” My grandfather voice at it's best I put every inch of remuneration on the table, that I can afford.
“Vice Headmaster, that is... Isn't that a bit much?” I see Lira frown, hell this might even be the first time that I see that strong witch frown.
My day has payed of only due to those few moments
“Ho ho ho, no of course not. There is only one thing for her to do, so that I can take her as my apprentice.” Right, there is one condition, otherwise the Headmaster might murder me. I know how much he cares about the rules..
“Oh and that might be what?” Now she smiles at me
“Young Cleo has to pass the entrance test of this academy. Even if she is a little underage, I fear there is no way around that one. But I might give her some time to prepare, before she has to attend.” I swiftly adjust my voice, so that the good points overtake the plight
“That...I will talk to my husband about that. May I come back at your offer?” Lira is a little startled as it seems.
Hmm just as I expected, the entrance test is not easy and there are a few causalities every year as well.
“Of course, take your time and ähem...maybe this will... Ho ho you know.” I stand up walk towards Lira and help her up, pushing a small book into her sleeve.
“Haha, I see you are full of good intentions Sir vice Headmaster. Well, be sure I will be back.” She intensely smiles at me and takes her leave. I have given her a small tome, I think it was a fire spell based one. I hope Cleo has the right affinity.
I fully occupy my comfy arm chair, pull out my favorite pipe and stuff me some of the best smoking cabbage that I have.
This was an exhausting day.
I stare at the table and subconsciously make the mistake to read the next question...
From far away is a huffing, raging exclamation of why one should sniff girls shoes, to hear.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yay! A new chap.
And good news for all those of you who literally hated this boring chap without any action
this week will be another chap, maybe saturday or sunday, with Cleo in action and a catastrophically mana explosion will be involved.... yay!
