A small celebration. To me, it means a simple party, with only a few foods on the table, no visitors or guests, with only me, my family and some people in the place. Maybe have some small talks here and there while eating and have a little drink. You know a typical small party of a normal family. That's what a small celebration is. That's what it is supposed to be.
So…why the hell is the entire palace filled with decorations?! Not only that but everybody even the servants are wearing such fancy clothing! And the table…it is filled to the brim with food and drinks! There are so many appetizing foods that will make anyone drool over them and the beverages that signal a grand celebration. How is this a small celebration?!
"Hick!~ Owaaah~, Everything is spinning~ Hick!~ Hehehehe~ Tomo-chan~ come here to your Ooka-san, hick!~. You too Kaguya-chan and Eric-chan~. Come to mommy, hick!~" My mother said while proceeding to run towards me and my younger siblings.
My mother was drunk, extremely drunk. I would have never expected her to be such a heavy drinker from someone like her. And there's also this one thing that is bothering me, it's her clothes. It is somewhat revealing and stimulating, and due to how drunk she is, her clothes are starting to reveal even more than what needs to be shown without her even realizing it. God, I don't know why but her being drunk kinda got me turned on.
Goddamnit, I have to compose myself, snap out of it! I better make sure she doesn't drink too much liquor next time or I don't know what to do.
I looked around me and saw most of my family drunk, except for me and my younger siblings because we were underage. Heck, even the servants are also drunk, what the hell, normally servants aren't allowed to do this while working but my father allowed it for this occasion.
My older brother, who was drunk, started running around like an idiot all over the place while swinging his fork like a dagger. What the hell is he doing?!
And my sister just started swinging back and forth from her chair while chanting whatever random stuff she is saying. I just hope she isn't chanting an actual spell or it will be disastrous. She is also wearing some revealing clothes… Wait, is it just me, or are all the girls wearing some revealing clothes all of a sudden?
My father was still chugging some liquor. I looked at what he is drinking and found out it was beer. He was drinking large gallons of beer, beer! And he still looks the most composed out of all the drunk ones. How is he still looking better than most of them?! I guess he is a very good drinker huh. Are you sure he doesn't have any dwarven blood in him when he drinks this much?
Seriously, what part about this party is a small celebration?! I mean they didn't invite any guests or anything and we are not in our ballroom but still! This is clearly not a small celebration whatsoever. And why are my older siblings allowed to drink alcohol when they are only 8 and 12 years old?! Aren't they also underage like us?!
And is this really how drunk people act? Is what they are drinking just normal alcohol or is this some other liquor that I don't know? Either way, goddamnit, things have gotten chaotic in here.
After the party finally ended, the servants who didn't get too drunk escorted my family to their own respected rooms and I just headed to my room as quickly as possible. It was one chaotic day. But then again, it looked like they were having fun so I can't complain.
Days passed by relatively quickly since everything became a routine, I woke up then get prepared then eats then go to class then some other stuff then sleep and repeat. I'm surprised I adapted to living here quicker than I expected. There are still some things that I'm uncomfortable about but mostly I'm not even surprised anymore.
In my free time, I usually just laze around while talking to my [Unique Skill: Knowledge] or read some books in the library. I mostly read books about this world and its unique features to pass the time and get knowledge about this strange world.
I wish I could start to try using magic or swordsmanship but they said I need to wait until a couple of months since they said I'm too young. My unique skill also told me to wait for a while since my body is still adapting to all of my elemental affinities and if I used magic carelessly, I might destroy the area because of how much stronger my magic is than normal. My body is also not strong and developed enough to start swinging a sword out of nowhere so I need to wait a while for that as well.
I sighed. I guess I have to wait long huh. I sighed again.
After a while, whether it was because my face showed disappointment all the time ever since I was told to wait for a while to be able to use magic or she just really want to teach me magic, but my older sister, from time to time keeps dragging me to the library whenever class ended and teach me a lot of stuff, especially the fundamentals of magic.
She is a good teacher since her lessons are really easy to learn, though I guess I'm in a kid's body so obviously, it is being taught in a way for younger people to understand but she is very good if she can explain such complex lessons to younger children.
Although she seems very obsessed with magic since every time we talk about magic, she starts going off-rails with the original topic that she starts teaching Advanced or Imperial ranks of magic out of nowhere.
To be honest, it wasn't too bad because I am learning some stronger spells that I normally won't learn unless I read the more advanced magic books in the royal library, which are restricted to most unless they are a higher ranked magician. Even I, someone from royalty, is even restricted as well.
It's supposed to be a safety measure so that no random person just suddenly destroys the area because they were using a high-ranked spell without any knowledge and control to use it properly. It is also to prevent deaths because they ran out of magicules inside their bodies for using magic that uses more magicules than they can use and handle.
Everything in this world has magicules in their body to live, the only difference is that some have a smaller magicule to flesh ratio than others, which makes them unable to have any internal magicules to use such as humans.
Also magic and mages have ranks from lowest to highest: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Saintly/Holy, Kingly, Imperial/Emperor, and Divine/God. These titles are used to rank magics and spells depending on how many magicules are needed, how complex it is, and how powerful it is. The titles are also given to mages depending on how skilled they are as a mage and how high magics and spells are they able to cast without any problem, or at least that's the summary of it.
An example of this is my mother, who is a Light Emperor because she can use Light types of magic on the level of Emperor without any problem, even casting multiple of them without a problem, therefore making her a Light Emperor.
To be honest, it is the exact same magic rankings in that isekai from where R*deus comes from and I think it's extremely weird for it to be here in addition to this world having the same rules as the world of that slime isekai where R*muru is. Is this world a mix of multiple isekais that I know?
Whether I was lucky or not, if the magic system in this world is somewhat a mix between those two isekais then I have a massive advantage since I pretty much have a gist of how magic is gonna work in this world if that is the case. Because of this revelation, I was more excited and impatient to learn magic.
Regarding swordsmanship, it seems this world has sword skills like what you see in that VR Isekai where K*rito comes from. In addition to that, this world also has a sword aura or weapon aura, some sword styles and techniques, breathing techniques like in that Demon Sl*yer anime, and sword dances.
The combat system in this world is extremely diverse and interesting but I would pick the sword more for my main weapon just because… well… this is an isekai world, what do you expect?
Of course, I would like to learn different types of weapons like spears for faster thrusts, faster attack speed, and range, also a bow for a more accurate and longer range, and maybe a scythe to look menacing and mainly for trolling.
Oh wait, I wonder if I could make guns here as well. Sure this is a medieval fantasy world and I don't want to screw up the technological advancement of this world and ruin the way how combat works throughout the world. However, if I see one person that is not reincarnated from my previous world using some sort of gun that I recognize, I would immediately be making guns for myself, after all, I like the sound of using guns, hehehehe.
Maybe I could also learn blacksmithing and stuff since making your own weapons sounds cool, and you can make and add whatever you want to your weapon. Plus from what I usually read from novels and mangas and some of the RPGs I play, making or fixing a weapon from a blacksmith costs a lot especially for stronger types of weapons so being a blacksmith or at least learning some blacksmithing would help out a lot.
In addition to that, I should try fighting different types of monsters in the future as soon as possible to get combat experiences and of course to get stronger as well. The sooner, the better because I would be able to not only grow stronger ever since from a younger age but I would have a higher combat experience than other people at my age, which would be a very good advantage.
Plus, I'm itching to use my skills, especially my unique skills. If these skills I have function the same way that sl*me isekai I read does, then I could grow super fast doing that method. Of course, I won't know if that strategy would work but I guess I would find out in the future.
Days quickly turned to weeks, and weeks turned into months until the day has finally come. The day I could finally learn magic and swordsmanship has finally arrived! I can't believe it is finally here, I waited so long for this…
Now normally I would have a personal instructor for these things like what you would expect in isekais but mine is different. I'm being instructed by both of my older siblings! How this happened is a long story.
Now normally I would have declined but considering how much my older sister has already taught me all this time, she is the best at teaching me about anything more than anybody else. Besides, she is already a Saint-class water and wind mage and a Holy King class mage, which is impressive for a 12-year-old.
In fact, she is the youngest person in history to become a King-class at her age so she is definitely the best teacher we can get for magic. Besides, she constantly asked both our parents for permission so she would still become my teacher no matter what.
When it comes to swordsmanship, I was conflicted on whether or not I should learn it from my brother but when I heard from my father, who is a Sword-King, that my older brother is one of the best swordsmen in the entire empire and was only second to our father, I immediately accepted. After all, this is a pretty good offer, right?
And to be honest, I only saw my older brother's swordsmanship once and that was months ago. It was pretty good and powerful and it was all just a warm-up for him. Though I didn't expect that he was the second-best swordsman in the empire. Of course, he too constantly asked both our parents for permission to teach me after he saw our older sister ask our parents to teach me magic no matter what herself.
It seems they are competing on who will be a better teacher.
Either way, I guess I better prepare myself to learn then.
