We came out of our house. Our house was situated outside the village. It was surrounded by vast grassland on the eastern side and densely forest-covered mountain ranges on the western side. Sherry's house was to the south of our house.
Dad had started teaching me swordsmanship for a few months already. He was especially enthusiastic as my pace of learning was very fast for a five-year-old kid. (Actually an adult already)
Due to my muscles not being well developed I had hindrance in swift movements but that could be improved over time.
"Let's do the usual today as well. First 5km run 100 Scotts and 50 push-ups."He declared.
It would have been no big deal in my previous life but now it was very hard.
After training rigorously for the last few months I had managed to complete it oneway or the other.
He had even started to teach me the Elliott sword style. Now I was trying to merge the sword styles which I used my previous life to this one. Although it was not perfect, it was usable.
"Your way of handling the sword never stops to amaze me" or so he said.
After the practice, i played with Sherry but her mother came to take her back.
After dinner, it was my favorite, the magic classes from mom.
"Zack, tell me what is status"
"It is legendary magic bestowed by the gods. It tells us about how much power we hold and what skills we have in the form of numbers."
(It basically what we call 'status' in games)
"Then tell me when are we bestowed with the status"
"We can view our status on the day of our 7th birthday"
"Tell me the basic elements of magic"
"The basic elements are fire, earth, water, wind, light, and dark. Where light and dark are very rare"
Mom had told me earlier that people can generally use 1 or 2 elements while talented people can use a max of 4. The first great hero who won against the demon king was the only person who could use all elements. There was also another type of magic know as non-elemental magic which could be used by all. It only had some basic spells like body strengthening, barrier, etc.
"Now tell me how can you learn the new spell"
"As the level of magic increases, the new spell is unlocked which can then be learned"
In some change, people were born with an innate talent that is those people could use unique magic. This type of magic could only be used by the original skill holder and could not be passed on. The spell would be automatically transferred into the user's mind as the skill level up.
Mom also said that each person could only keep 3 passive skills active at a time.
There was something peculiar in this world that they had skills known as 'auto skill'. These skills activate automatically when conditions are met and drains mp until the conditions are severed. If I were to say it out bluntly, it was a double-edged sword.
Another thing which I noticed was that the people knew no other method to increase mp other than using stats point(get when we level up).
I had tried using the method I used in my previous life to increase the mana and I could feel my mana increasing. I had also tried to view my status but it didn't work.
(Well I will keep on working hard as mom keeps on cramming knowledge into me)
