Chapter one Drake, the weakling.
In one of the many villages that live in the forest of the spirits, a child was born. This child was kidnapped by a changeling and was replaced with a changeling baby. The changeling baby got name Drake the next day by his new parents who know nothing. Drake was different then other children, he never cried, instead of crying and screaming when he needs something he just bangs on something. Of course that doesn't make a lot of sound since he is a baby, but it works since his mom(not really) is almost always around him. His parents are happy that Drake is a good child because they didn't have to leave him out in the forest for a night. If he yell and cry way to much that is a sign that he is a changeling, but with his behavior his parents and the village saw no reason to trial him, plus it been along time since the last confirmed changeling baby. if we

Drake was running around the village playing with kids his age. What they play are mage, warrior, and war. Drake was stronger then other kids his age, way stronger in fact, so he is good at games. Today Drake and his friends decided to play warrior, basically it's a game that you fight each other in one on ones, mana and soul is not allowed, and no bluffs can be active. People do make different types of warrior, but all of them follow these rules. It was Drake's turn after Chase and Hunter finish their round. Drake is going to fight who is rumor to be the strongest kid there age and is the chief's grandson, his name is Isaac. Chase just won, now Drake goes in the pit that they dug out and Isaac follows. The other boys yell "3, 2, 1 GO!".
Drake went in to offence right away, running to Isaac to punch him. Isaac just block, then the cycle continue. This went on for a while, But Drake wasn't feeling tired at all, he never truly felt really tried in his life.
"Damn it, if I had my magic I would wi-win"
"Then use your magic"
"I can't do that it against the rules, idiot"
"just do it"
"I SAID I CAN'T"
the other boys hearding this stared to shout "USE MAGIC, USE MAGIC..."
Isaac being the little kid he is couldn't help but almost right away listen to them, "Drake let's start over and play magic warrior instead"
"fine, I will still win though"
Drake and Isaac went back to their corners, then the other boys shout "1, 2, 3, GO!"
This time they both enchant their body with mana, making them way faster. This time Isaac was winning, Isaac is using his soul, mana, and body more effectively. Drake didn't like losing, if he was able to think as fast as his body he would win, so he decided to do what he did on the test, the test being what everyone starting at the age of 5 have to do in the village every year, getting harder and harder. This village is a village that worships the demonic god of knowledge and water, "Poseidon", also said to be the father in of Gaia. What Drake did when he toke the test was something he didn't know how to explain, it is like his brain change to make his mind be smarter and faster. He also wanted to tried to make his body faster and stronger. His appearance changed to that of a monster, his eyes changed color, his hair did too, he got buffer, his nails got sharp. Unlike last time he didn't feel smarter, he felt high, really high. Everything seems to slow down to him, he blackout. When he woke up, he was chained, then someone talk to him. "your father knew you were a changeling when you were 4, your mother found out when you were 2, us elders found out when you were 1."
" The elders decided to experiment on you since you seem different then other changelings"
Drake was quite, but not scare, even though in this situation almost anyone else his age would be.
"too bad your parents were too dumb to teach you right, we didn't even do the normal eye for a eye, instead the chief's son wanted revenge, so we did revenge since your parents were too dumb"
Drake didn't know what he is talking about, but he did know that the guy insulted his parents. The guy grab a big pot then said "eat and drink this" the stew didn't look the best, but Drake just ate it. Drake then suddenly change shapes. After that Drake past out again. When he woke up the guy grabbed him then throw him into a room, this room has a lot of books, since there were books he just read. This went on for a while he would be given weird food then throw in the book room. In the book room he practice with his soul and mana. Also, he workout.
around 4 years later
Jake dragged me, but this time he didn't put me in the book room. This time he pull me up steps, then he pull me out of the house, then push me out of the yard. I was happy to be out of the house, I immediately run away. Over the years I been in the house I finally think I got what the words Jake said meant. From his words and the books I read I got that my parents probably died, I probably kill Isaac, and the one I know for certain is that I am a changeling.
I have no idea what to do now, so I decided just to go to the school that a map of this village showed. But not right now, it is getting dark, so I decided to just sleep on the street.
Next morning
Drake woke up and got up. He went to the school, he was early though. The teacher show up first, the teacher didn't know Drake which surprise her, every kid has to go to school in this village. So she thought he was a orphan that one of the warriors pick up when they were hunting. But by his hight he is in the wrong room, so she didn't have to worry about a other child. "This is the first grade and second grade's floor, you need to go up two floods" the teacher said. Drake just listened to her and went to the right floor which would be 6th grade one. Drake is way smarter the normal 6 grader, so he didn't really have to worry about annual test or any test the school give. When Drake went into one of the rooms, he met with a slim man who has defined muscles, he is wearing butler type clothes, he is also completely bald with a crazy mustache. To Drake he look like a weirdo, Drake then said to him "are you the teacher or a passing by circus"
"I am the teacher and a circus, but not a passing by one"
"my name is Doggo Bones, what's yours" he said while bowing a little bit.
"my name is Drake, I am the new student" Drake said even though he technically didn't do the necessary process to become a student.
"Ok then, but first you need to pass the test, just watch for today, also if you don't pass you have to transfer classes, if you fail all the classes then you get kick out of the village" After a little bit the room started to fill, there were about 40 students.
Then when everyone got here Doggo said "Class there is someone who wants to join us, please do your best to scare him off"
he said walking out the door with the students following like ducks, with Drake following last.
They went outside with Doggo going into the forest with his ducks. Then after a little bit of running they enter a clearing, then Doggo stopped everyone line up. Then everyone went into pairs, then started to spar. After about 4 hours the field was a miss and it seems like everyone was tried, and it seem like lunch time, so Doggo said " class is over, go read books or something" he said then he turned to me "ok Drake, lets spar, if you do good enough I will let you pass and if don't well you will feel a lot of pain, also don't worry about getting hurt I am a combat healer" Everyone else was gone, Drake didn't want to hurt Doggo, so he decided that he will not use mana or use his powers as a changeling. He started to throw punches, Doggo block all of them easily then punch Drake a lot. Drake was on pure offensive even though none of his attacks work, and when Doggo attacks work way more. This lasted for about a hour then Drake fell and pass out after hearing "you pass". Unlike when he was little he got good enough with his body to use its full strength. Doggo was surprise, Drake lasted way longer than anyone else his age. After this day Drake went to his class everyday, he even got some extra training for Doggo after class. After a year Drake got a title of being a weakling, because he never fights back making him a good punching bag. Drake doesn't fight back but he does dodge and block. Drake also stared to hunt the animals in the forest for training, but he never went to far from the village because of two reasons there is a barrier surrounding the village and the monsters outside the barrier are way stronger. So time went by, Drake stared to get bully by the other kids, but that doesn't matter, all Drake wanted was to get stronger.
