I took a deep breath and threw all the stones in the air. With a speed that a four years old should not be able to do, I swung the stick I had in my hand and hit all the stones that I threw. A second later, I look at the stone on the ground that has been sliced in half.
This is the power of my Inner Ability, Campione. I can become a Hero in the past and get all their power for 24 hours, from the Myth like Siegfried the Dragon Slayer to real-life legendary figures like Hijikata Toshizō of Shinsengumi.
After using them for 24 hours, the power will be deactivated, and it needs one hour to be used once again. However, it will leave a passive ability that is known to the said Hero. For example, Siegfried increased my defensive stats by a huge amount because of his legend that saying he is bathed in a dragon's blood makes him unable to be killed unless being struck at his weak spot.
Sasaki Kojirou gave me his knowledge on how to use a sword. However, even with that knowledge, I cannot do what he can do in his legend. I still need to train hard to reach what he can do in his prime.
That is passive. As for when I become them… well, it was intense. The moment I become Achilles, I can feel my body filled with power and can run really fast. REALLY fast. I can move a few more times than the speed of sound, and I can see everything around me in detail, even when running at that speed.
Other than physical ability, I also get their legendary weapon. When I become King Arthur, I get his legendary sword, Excalibur and Caliburn. Not only that, In the form of King Arthur, I can summon the legendary Knight of Round Table.
All of them are powerful, very powerful, in fact.
Not only a well-known swordmaster, but I can also become a magician in the legend and saga like Asclepius. From him, I can access his array of medical techniques, potion-making, and medical spells. While Asclepius is not suitable for a frontal attack, he is a deadly assassin. One of his magic is involving poison and disease that he can use to kill his enemy.
I already access seven heroes from different cultures back in my previous world. The first one is Siegfried, who gave me a massive boost in my VIT stats. The second one is Sasaki Kojiro, who gave me his sword style. The third one is Arthur Pendragon, who gave me his own sword style. The fourth one is Achilles, who gave me a massive boost in my AGI stats. The fifth one is Asclepius, who gave me his knowledge of herbs and potion-making. The sixth one is Abe no Seimei, who gave me his Onmyōdō knowledge. The last one is Circe, who gave me her knowledge of magic.
The reason I decided to become Circe is that I'm curious how it will change my body. When I become King Arthur, I don't change much except I wear silver and blue armor on my body.
When I decided to use Circe, it did not change me into a girl, lucky for me.
I take out my ID card and read it.

Yeah, my stats are growing alright. If what my father says is correct, then I'm an A-rank hunter, a middle-class A-rank. For now, I need to train my power, so I don't destroy something by accident.
~3 Years Later~
I look at my father, who is walking around in worry. While I'm not like him, I'm still worried about my mother. We are currently inside the hospital waiting for my mother to give birth. My father and I waited for a few hours before the nurse came out of the room.
"Congratulations, sir. Your wife gave birth to a beautiful little girl."
Both of us walk inside the room and can see my new little sister sleeping in my mother's arms. My father sat down next to my mother and gently rubbed my sister's cheek.
"Ah…. What a beautiful little girl…"
"Right?"
"Do you want to name her? I already named our son after all."
".... How about Kezya?"
"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl."
My mother then looks at me and says,
"Michael, this is your little sister, Keyza. You are her big brother, and it is your duty to protect her when we cannot do that, do you understand?"
"Yes, mother."
~One year later~
I decided that elementary school sucks. Because I want to make my parents proud, I decided to act as a smart kid in the class. Most of the lesson is the same as the one in my previous world.
The only difference is the history class. Some familiar names are being said in the books, but they are different from my previous world.
For example, the name of Soekarno is different here than in my previous world. In my previous world, he is the Indonesian War Hero and the First President of Indonesia. However, in this world, he is the first SS-class Hunter from Indonesia. He is still a hero to the Indonesian people but for a different reason.
Other than history, I don't really interested in the other lesson. They are basically the same as the ones in my previous world.
I sigh a little and open up the door to my house. I walk inside and see my mother carrying Kezya in her hand while sitting on the chair watching the tv. When my little sister sees me, she offers her hand to me while saying.
"Mi Mi!"
I smile at her and take her from my mother.
"Welcome home, dear. How is your school?"
"It was fine, mom. Where is dad?"
"He is going to the field right now. There is something he needs to do there."
"Do you think he needs help?"
"If you want, then go ahead. He is spraying the pest poison around the field."
"I guess I will help, dad."
"If you decide to go, could you deliver his lunch there? I just about to deliver his lunch."
"Sure"
I pass Kezya to my mother and give her a quick kiss on her forehead.
"Mi Mi?"
"Don't worry. I will come back. Be a good girl while I help dada, okay?"
"Dada?"
"Yup. Your big bro needs to help, dada."
"Dada!"
I smile at her and walk to my room, where I change my uniform into something more casual. After changing, I walk to the living room where my mother gives me the lunch I need to deliver to my father.
I walk away from my home and begin to walk to our family farm. On my way to the farm, I can see a few children running around the village with a smile on their faces. It is really different from my previous world.
In my previous life, I lived in a place called Jakarta. It is the capital city of Indonesia. What's more, it was a crowded city. Too many people lived in one place. Where I lived, there is no place for children to play like in here. Even if they can play around in front of their house, there is also a risk of a car or motorcycle running them down.
I don't know the condition in this world, Jakarta, but I think it was the same as the one in my previous world. However, because Indonesia has less population than the one in my previous world, I think the capital population is not as much as the one in my previous world.
Speaking of population, if Indonesia's population in my previous world was around 300 million souls, in this world, Indonesia only has around 90 to 100 million people. Not even half of my previous world, Indonesia.
I snap from my thoughts when I arrive in front of our family farmland. I can see my father sitting inside the hut my grandfather built on the edge of the farm. I walk toward the hut, and I can see my father waving his hand when he sees me from a distance.
The rice on the farm is growing steadily. What usually takes three to four months for the rice to grow, with the Agriculture Guild's fertilizer, only takes two months to grow and ready to harvest.
"Michael! How is your school, son?"
"It was fine, dad! How are you?"
"I'm fine. A little bit tired from spraying half the field, but it was fine. Why do you come here? Also, is that the food for me?"
"Yup! This is the food mom cooked for you! Also, I come here to help you."
"Really? Then you will be a great help. I already have most of them. The only one that I don't yet spray is the one to the right."
"Then will be going then."
"Sure. Just be careful, will you?"
"Of course, dad."
"After you are done, we can go fishing on the nearby river."
"Sure thing, dad."
I took out the spraying tool next to my father and filled it with water before mixing it with pesticides. After I finished mixing it, I picked the spraying tool and carried it on my back.
The spraying takes me thirty minutes to do. Our farmland is big. Not massive, but big. Our family has 5 acres of land for ourselves. It was not as big as the richer family that needed a group of people to handle their farm.
As I put the sprayer down, I look at my father, who has two fishing rods in his hand.
"Good job, son. Now, let's go catch some fish."
I smile at my father's enthusiasm, take one of the fishing rods, and follow my father to the river. This is the life I want. A peaceful life that I can enjoy with my family.
