As I wake up I find it's 8 am. I get up to find the kid in my bed while I'm on my armchair. I get up and find my supercomputer still playing games while remastering others and helping mom and dad with their work while still organizing blackmail in a list to get to.
I get up and swallow another energy pill before going behind my counter and making thirty more. While I'm making some coffee Bianca walks in and takes the just finished pot and pours herself some coffee and add milk while Angelica walks in.
"You wanna tag along with me to visit my parents or head back to your world for now?"
"I'll join you." I just nod my head and go back in my room to find the kid waking up.
He's in some of my smaller clothes I never bothered to get rid off. He wipes his eyes and eats some bread lying around before looking back up to me. I take my sword and walk back into the main area before cutting another tear in space.
I make a shadow while I sheath my sword and carry the kid inside and Angelica walks in before the gash closes and I make another one to the door of my family's home. As I walk inside with my house keys I can hear dad sipping his coffee.
"Can you guys just stay here for a minute? I have some things I need to talk about with my parents." They just nod and I walk inside before teleporting inside the kitchen and dad just puts down his mug while mom just walks back inside their bedroom.
"Hey dad, how have you been?"
"Actually life's been going extremely well, a lot of the projects are getting finished extremely quickly and work we needed to do seems to be doing its-"He then stops talking when he sees my metal arm.
"What the hell happened to you?"
"Go get mom, I'm not explaining this twice." He walks back and after a few seconds later mom walks out and we sit down on the two couches we have.
As soon as we sit down I start my misadventures by saying how I fell down the stairs. I decide to skip over the parts about me being death, I just feel like I'll get to that later. I keep explaining and showing a bit of magic before finally getting to the reason I came here.
"That leads us to why I'm here, I need you to take care of a kid." They both look at me funny.
"What's so special about the kid then?"
"His parents left him because he glows." They both just look at me funny before I go shadow step over and put him on my shoulder and bring him back in.
"So what's your main reason for giving him to us?"
"I turned out pretty well all things considered." Mom and dad look at me helplessly and I just hand them the adoption papers the computer printed while I was asleep. They look at it for a few seconds before they sign.
I look it over and find everything works out perfectly and I then stand up and walk out while saying my goodbyes.
"Enjoy yourselves mom and dad." They look at me funny before mom and dads phone rings and I leave the house and cut another tear in space and we go to our room and I walk inside the bathroom and change my attire before looking at the schedule.
Swordsmanship theory then History to a lunch break and back to training and finally I have a free period. I walk outside and into the class before I sit in the back and listen.
While not saying anything groundbreaking they explain the various advantages swordsmen have over mages and our distinct weaknesses. Everyone seems to be tuned out to this lesson but it's actually really useful stuff.
I actually take a few of these into consideration because I hadn't thought of using basic Qi to do some of these things. For example coating your body in a protective layer of Qi before dashing into weaker attacks.
While I could coat myself in mana it would be less efficient and would let some attacks through. The instructor also went a little bit into sword aura. While the name is flashy it's really just adding your Qi to a weapon to increase it's durability and decrease it's weight.
After class ends I keep thinking back to the conversation I had with my family and if they really were fine with my body count. God I feel awful but what can I do? I feel it's better to just tell them now.
While I agonize over the decision I made lunch happens and I pop a energy ball before going to the training area. No one's here so I take my shadows and spread it all over before I start swinging at the training dummy.
After awhile I make my way over to the massive wooden golem in the corner and turn it on. I set it to the highest difficulty before jumping back and waiting for it to move first.
It walks all the way to the center before throwing a punch down towards me but I just dodge backwards and leap on it's arm before it turns it's arms into spikes. I quickly coat my feet in Qi before I start jumping from spike to spike while avoiding it's slaps on it's arms.
After I reach the elbow it tries to make me fall by turning it's arm into a ramp and flipping it's arm over but I just lodge my sword in while making some shadow threads and flattening it while also hoisting myself back up.
It's starts flailing it's arm wildly but I just make some shadow shoe spikes and I keep running until I reach the neck and I sheath my sword before using the quickdraw feature and slashing it clean off.
As the golem falls to the floor I sheath my sword and take it into my shadow before teleporting back into my room having blown off some steam.
