"Time to get the preparations done."
Saying that, Tyler got up from the bed once again and headed to the living room.
The environment was... elegant, to say the least. Light yellow walls and a great red carpet, along with a couple chandeliers decorated the living room. There were a few paintings, with a particular one catching all the attencion, a humanoid violet frog, seated in an armchair made of leaves, in a black background. Besides those, there were 3 sofas, one in the middle and two opposite to each other, with a big TV opposite to the middle one. Tyler's father and mother were seated on the left sofa, while his sister was in the middle one.
Speaking about them, Tyler's father, Yamamoto Grimning (that will be refered as Yama), was a good-looking 40-year-old japanese. He wore a fancy suit. The mother's name was Scarlet Grimning, a beautiful american woman with brown eyes and hair. She wore a long blue skirt, with a white blouse. The sister, Anna Grimning, was 12-year-old girl, with oriental facial features and brown eyes and hair, like Scarlet. She was wearing a pink dress and none had shoes on.
"Oh, you're aware Ty, wait. What happened that you're with that face?" said Yama
"Well, shit's going to be really bad..." muttered Ty
"Just begin from the beginning son." suggested Scarlet
"Okay. Well, this may sound ab- no, it will sound absurd, so just listen to everything first, 'cause I have proof."
'Guess I'll just repeat that bastard's explanation'
"In the beginning, everything was concentrated into one point. Then, the conciousness of 'something' caused the point to collapse, thus creating infinite universes."
"All these universes, though separated from each other by properties like space and time, were still bound by a mysterious powerful energy. This energy is everywhere, and is one of the fundamental elements of matter and energy. It is known as mana."
"As I said, mana is everywhere and as such, it is also inherently present in living beings. But most of them cannot perceive nor use it, as mana is a part of their very own constitution. However, there are very few exepctions to this rule, beings that can use mana that was released from their beings to manipulate physical events. Those beings are called mana users."
"But, getting to the point I wanted, 1 month from now, on January 1st, something will cause a major change in Earth, it is called the World's Awakening. From then on, most beings, if not all, will become mana users and society will dratically change. Not only that, but creatures from other worlds, worlds that already passed through WA, will begin to come to Earth using temporary fractures in the space and time, wreaking havoc."
"In the day of the WA, something called 'tutorial' will happen and a lot of people, about 1/7 of the world's population, will die, and among them will be dad. After a lot of disasters and suffering, I will rise to the top of this world through pure strengh and ultimately fall in madness and die."
"I know about all of this because it already happened, 100 times at that. But now, it's different. I have the memories of all my previous lives, along with some really powerful abilities that I will one day be able to use. Now, I will prove all I said through a little bot of magic. [Flame]"
Saying that, a fairly big red flame emerged from Tyler's right hand, showing that all he said was true. Besides that, he decided to show another thing too. So he used 'Ektaros', making a pitch-black katana appear on his left hand. Seeing that, Ty's family could do nothing but exclaim in amazement.
Coff Coff... "I think we should eat first, and then hear what you have left to say" said Yama
"I agree dear." said Scarlet
Then, they quickly ate some spagetti in the kitchen and went back to the sofas, as they were curious about what Ty would say now.
"Well, fistly, is there a wide and safe space here that can be used in physical training dad?"
"There's the panic room, should me more than enough for the 4 of us."
"Ok, so the next things we need are training dolls and a lot of non-perishable food, I mean... a LOT."
"We can do that tomorrow morning, is there something else?" asked Yama
"I guess that's all for today, tomorrow I'll begin training you guys."
