This is NOT good! I need to find out if there is another way around this. I absolutely cannot have people, ESPECIALLY people in the government, find out about my skill. Even though even I don't exactly know what this skill can do, I don't want to take the chance that someone in power will know what it does, or worse, makes a false accusation of what it does! I NEED to get out of this somehow. How the hell did this go so wrong so quickly!

"Um, well, w-what if I don't want to be registered and go to school?!"

"Why wouldn't you dear? Even at a young age you seemed extremely curious about your awakening and even my magic. If I had known better, you looked ready to learn about magic right then and there!"

I have no clue what to say. I don't want to tip my hand or make her suspicious of me. I'm getting scared. I don't know how to approach this! She already knows I had an abnormal fascination with magic, but I don't know what she would do if she found out what I have already done! I'm stuck. I can't think of a way to get out of this situation.

"Look sweetie, this is a good thing! You get to discover what you have an aptitude for, and at school, they assign you classes that fit your aptitude. You get to learn about the classes available to you based on your aptitudes, and you start learning how to be proficient in those classes. I would think you would be excited at the prospect of learning what you are so curious about."

I barely hear what my mother is saying as my mind is racing trying to figure out a solution to this problem. I just don't know what to do. Should I just come clean? What would she say? Would I get in trouble?! I want to just run away. I'm literally shaking with fear. I've never been this scared of anything in either of my lives! I and going to have to. I I'm going to have to tell her! Fuck, this is not how I wanted this to go! How did this get so fucked up so quickly?!

"Mom?"

"Yes dear? Are you ok sweetie? You seem to be shaking a little, are you feeling alright?"

"I-I don't know how to tell you this." I squirm in my shoes, seriously nervous about this whole situation. I can't even bring myself to look at her. I feel like a kid who just ruined his mothers wedding dress and I have to come clean about it.

"What is it dear?!"

"Look, I don't want you to be mad at me!" I shout, my nervousness turning into abject fear.

"What's going on Christine? Why are you saying these things? What's going on with you?"

"Promise me you won't get mad at me!"

"Well, I don't kno..."

"PROMISE ME!!"

"OK, OK! I promise. Now tell me what's got you so riled up!"

"I have already unlocked my status."

My mom starts to giggle. A huge smile coming across her face. She looks at me like I'm some stupid kid that just something ridiculous.

"That's not possible dear."

I put on a cold serious face. She isn't taking me seriously! God, I was so worried about her finding out, and here she is not even believing me when I flat out tell her! Such a typical parent, never believing a damn throng their kid says.

"This is serious mom! Do you remember when I asked you what the word Omniscience meant?"

"That was years ago. You were around 3 years old. There's no..."

"That's the skill I'm imbued with mother."

The color starts to drain from my mother's face. Her smile fading into a flat concerned look. She reaches out to steady herself on a nearby bookshelf. She looks like she just saw a zombie walk through the door or something.

"That's not possible." She says in a flat tone of voice."

"It's true mother. I'm already level 3. Remember when I showed you that mama stone that I said I found in the garden? The truth is, I killed a horned rabbit out by the woods that day. I did it to level up so I could have more MP to practice with. I had to spread mud all over myself to cover up the blood so you wouldn't find out."

I look at my mother and she is looking pretty nervous, but I can still see a shred of doubt fighting its way through. It appears there is only one thing I can do to convince her and drive my point home. I lift up my hand...

"Flame!"

A large flame burst forth from my palm. I stare at it for several seconds admiring the result of years of training myself, my flame steady and unwavering, stable and clear. I give the flame a little smile before looking back at my mom. She is backing away, looking for something to sit down on. The color is starting to drain from her face, the doubt showing long gone and being replaced by extreme worry and fear.

"Remember that day years ago when I asked you about your magic and the awakening? That's when it started. Right after that, I went to my room to see if I could replicate your magic. It didn't work at first, so I practiced controlling my mana like you told me."

"I spent the next several days concentrating my mana into my hands and feet, even transferring it from one hand to the other. After I felt like I mastered that, I concentrated mama in my hand, and I was able to make this flame appear using the same spell you use. Well, not exactly like this. I couldn't control it well at first as the flame would just vanish immediately."

"It was immediately after I cast that first spell, that I noticed a blue triangle in my vision. The same blue triangle you made appear on your hand. It took me a while to figure it out, but I was eventually able to open it. My status that is. As I browsed the different screens I saw my skill, that's when I came out to ask you about what it means."

I allow the flame to go out and I walk over to the water basin. It is time to drive my point home with another demonstration. I raise my hand over the basin, just like I have watched my mother do hundreds of times before.

"Water!"

Water starts pouring out of my hand into the basin, a steady laminar flow of water. My mom raises her hands, covering her mouth. Her eyes are wide open. She is in complete shock as to what she is witnessing. In her mind, this is not possible. It is becoming increasingly apparent to me that I must be the only person in history to awaken early like this. Or at least the only person my mother has ever heard of doing such a thing. To these people, it is simply not possible, no matter if you are a commoner, a Noble, or a future king. Everyone awakens in their fifth summer, no exceptions, I guess. But then again, my skill DOES say I break all limits. So, why wouldn't I be able to break the limit on my awakening? It is starting to make sense to me. I cut off the water spell before the basin overflows and I flood the house.

My mom finally is able to say something.

"I don't understand. How is this possible?!"

"My skill mom. I was able to read the tool tip of the skill to try and see what that skill means."

I open my status and the tool tip for Omniscience and read it to my mother.

"It says the following, 'The bearer of this skill is known to have no limits. No skill, no matter how impossible or improbable, is out of reach. The bearer of this skill breaks any and all limitations of a normal person.'"

I close my status and I see my mother pale a bit more.

"Basically, my skill allows me to break any limitations of a normal person. So, a normal person would have to wait until their 5th summer of age for their awakening. I broke that limit and awakened at 3 years old."

"Well, this might also explain how you were so well spoken at that young age. You always seemed years ahead of your age. I just never paid it any mind."

A slight giggle ripples through my chest. Well, there is another reason for that. Technically I'm 23 years old, but I don't think my mother will survive hearing that her daughter is a reincarnated 17-year-old boy. I decide to keep that bullshit to my damn self. I don't wish to kill my mother from too many shocks today. I don't think she could take it.

"So, the real reason I seemed apprehensive about going to school, really had nothing to do with school itself. In fact, I have wished for a teacher for the past two years. Learning all of this on my own was not easy. Anyway, it had everything to do with registering with the government. If they find out I have this skill, I have no clue how they would react. They could demand I be forced to be a slave to the government, imprisoned, or even executed if they fear I will become a threat."

"Yeah, dear. That makes sense. Those are very real possibilities; I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not sure myself how they would react to this. Your father should be coming home any day now. We will have to discuss this with him. Unfortunately, we don't have long to decide a course of action. It's law that all children register with the government upon their awakening. Technically, you, well we, are already in violation of that law since you awakened two years ago."

"I'm not even sure they would have believed me if I dragged a 3-year-old into the registration office. I'm just curious, do you have the blue triangle on your hand?"

"That's the odd thing, I can't make that appear. I tried as soon as you showed it to me and told me how to make it appear. It didn't work. I do have that same blue triangle down in the bottom right corner of my vision. That's how I open my status."

"But with your skill you should be able to make it appear, right? In fact, you should be able to make it appear anywhere you want!"

"Yeah, well I have not actually figured out my skill. I'm still running into things I can't do, such as limitations on what spells I can cast, how long I can keep them going, and even controlling my mana. I'm still limited by everything everyone else is limited to. I can't seem to willingly break those limits."

"Well, maybe you still have to abide by the natural law of things."

"The skill says I have NO limits. Shouldn't that mean even natural laws don't apply to me?"

"I have no idea dear. What we are discussing is completely unheard of. No person, as far as I know, has ever been imbued with a skill such as this. It's actually terrifying to think of the possibilities. That skill literally makes it seem like you are a God."

I laugh at that comment. My mother is not laughing though. She is terrified. She is extremely concerned for my future. I'm her only child and it seems even my strong-willed mother is breaking at just the thought of the implications. This is exactly what I was afraid of. If my own mother is this scared, how will people in real positions of power react?! The possibility of execution seems more like a reality.
