After waking up completely from his sleep with his stomach groaning and twisting in pain as if he was hungry for days,he actually dreamed about eating Pizza hut, his favorite food back in the days,his mind was lucid during the dream, as he tried to eat as slow as possible, savoring the chewy texture of the flattened bread mixed with cheese and pepperoni, that adds meatiness and spice to the taste, and then drinking the cold Pepsi that passed through his throat, his favorite part was the cheesy crust, it's addicting taste never failed to cloud his mind with an euphoric pleasure.
For Mikhail, Pizza was like sex; when it's good it's really good, and when it's bad it's still pretty good.
Mikhail wasn't really addicted to this food, he was affected by it's mystical influence, an indescribable feeling,it's like when reading a novel while listening to a specific song, so whenever you hear it again, memories of the story starts to resurface bringing nostalgia and longing, the same applies to the Pizza.
Meanwhile, Mikhail was now looking at the mirror, he was wearing a white shirt with a black vest on top, a black pants and black boots,he had three rings on his hands black and silver color matching his silky hair tied into a ponytail, he looked charming and majestic as he smiled clearly satisfied with this appearance, Hera was behind him looking at with an obsessed and fanatic gaze, a chill run down his spin as he left the room

On the dinning table, he was sitting in his usual seat observing this cursed family, silence filled the place, Ren, Elizabeth, Ereka, William, Gerold, were giving him glances from time to time.
What caught his attention the most was his grandfather he was looking at him with a smile as he nodded, his features showing happiness. Expressing pride and satisfaction.
'Why is he looking at me like that, he wasn't like this before'.
Actually if it wasn't for his grandfather he wouldn't even be alive, because of the affection from this old man, he got to live a good life with allowance and enough authority.Mikhail swore that one day he will return this favor, his eyes shining with resolve and stubborn determination.
His experience and strength was progressing slowly the more time he spends in this world and slowly discovers it advantages and disadvantages, even though he was still weak he swore in his heart that he'll became stronger and return to his world although the chances were slim.
After finishing his meal ,Mikhail immediately headed to his room to start meditating and see if it gave any results.He spent the first few days trying to see the particules of mana but with no results, even though the system provided a deeper explanation about the steps he should follow he couldn't really make any progress.
What mikhail didn't know was that feeling those particules in the air is very difficult and arduous task that depends on talents and the ability to stay patient and calm despite the lack of immediate result ,in fact the most talented person in the empire, the first prince took a month to just feel mana and another month to awaken his core .

Two weeks passed Mikhail was holding a bland sword in his hand looking ah his opponent with wary and surprise as they exchanged strikes while moving around the arena with fluid footsteps.
'No openings, fast speed, and great skills 'he couldn't stop himself from assessing his opponent that looked at him with a relaxed gaze clearly not taking him seriously.
Mikhail physical capabilities and experience increased with a frightening speed reaching the lowest rank when campared to the squires his age ,even Ricard was quiet surprised by his progress as he paid him more attention, while giving him pointers from time to time .
Propelling his body with the his back leg ,and extending his front leg, he lunged with extreme speed thursting his sword toward his opponent head, Hera moved her body with superhuman agility taking three steps back without attacking with her hands behind her back.
"Araa...Araaa you want to kill your wife "she said while licking her lips in a seductive way making his hormones churn.
"Damn it "he cursed as continued with his attacks on after another cutting and thursting, he used the flate of the blade, the guard, his legs, his hands, and tried tripping and throwing her and even throwing his sword ,he stressed his mind to the limit but to no avail ,he was too weak and inexperienced to fight this little devil.
His tired body collapsed and fell to the ground no amount of determination could move it again as his fists clenched , all he thought about was revenge ,his eyes turning red from the accumulation of rage ,Mikhail was always a prideful person who loves to be at the top , controlling the fate of others and having the absolute authority, he never underestimate his enemy and is always careful, just the fact that till know no one knows his other identity in his previous world shows how careful he is.
Nonetheless, he reminded himself that it was just training, eventually calming his nerves, he just laid on his back looking at the clear sky as his mouth curved into an amused smile showing his white teeth.
"Are you okay Mikhail "his maid was the first to run and check on him while asking with a worried look.
"I'm fine"he answered as he coughed.
Sonia looked furious as she noticed his state pushing all the blame on Hera while gritting her teeth.
"You still need some training to have the qualifications needed for entering the academy"Hera said as she pointed at his sword"your strikes are refined and mastered i don't know how you did it but keep it like this and you have to attack without hesitation, the sword art was created for the sole purpose of killing"
"Yes"Mikhail nodded his head in realization as he checked his system.

"Hey system can you explain why I can't buy anything above the F rank"Mikhail inquired.
He was exuberantly happy by this discovery , everything was going too well for him in the last month, but he didn't believe it will stay like this life wasn't so easy, at least for him.
After resting for more than fifteen minutes, he tried getting up but his tired body just wouldn't lesson to his command as he failed several time to stand on his feet, in the end he could only ask for the help of Hera and Sonia, they grabbed his hands by the two sides, feeling there soft breasts pressing against him his blood churned a little bit as he feigned ignorance, while enjoying the feeling reaching his room, He asked the maids to prepare a cold bath before submerging his aching body in the icy water..

7:00Am
Mikhail was sitting on his desk jotting on a notebook ,he was actually writing a dairy, it one of his habits that he used to practice since young ,he wrote...and wrote hoping the maybe someone will come to this world, hence this diary can probably help him in a way or another.
While writing he noticed a small letter on the side of the desk.openning it and looking through it he discovered that it was an invitation to a party, they were celebrating the princess Taya eighteenth birthday.
Since it came from the imperial palace he had no choice but to attend, Moreover the fatty was also invited, therefore they immediately set off.
*
The Imperial City was the stunning example of the grandeur and magnificence of ancient times.The city's walls, gates, palaces and temples have been carefully preserved and maintained, making it an incredible destination for any traveller.
The walls of the city looked very impressive, standing at over 20 metres high and spanning over 8 miles. They were adorned with nine gates and four watchtowers, which all provide a fascinating insight into the city's past.
Inside the walls lies an impressive array of majestic palaces and temples. creating a majestic and mind blowing view.
Mikhail and the fatty entered the city without much problem and headed immediately to the party
The Great Hall of the palace was filled with laughter and music as the festivities of the evening began. The guests had traveled from all around the empire to attend the grand event.It was a celebration only for young nobles.The tables were laden with fine food and drink, and the room was filled with the smell of roasting meats and freshly baked breads.
The host, Taya, welcomed the guests and led them in a procession to the center of the hall where a large fire was burning. The fire was surrounded by colorful banners and tapestries depicting scenes from the lord's past triumphs and battles.The guests were then invited to join in a feast of meats, fruits, and vegetables, all prepared with the finest ingredients.
The guests drank mead and sang songs of chivalry and honor. They enjoyed tales of brave knights and courageous battles.
Mikhail didn't do much nor did anyone paid him attention, he just quietly observed those Youngsters flattering each at every chance and trying to curry favor with the princess. As the night wore on, the music grew more lively, and the guests danced the night away.As the sun rose, and before the guests slowly began to disperse .
A Noble that had been unable to take his eyes off the princess for the entire evening. He had been admiring her from afar and was determined to finally make his move. He found the opportunity when a slow song began to play and the princess was standing alone. Taking a deep breath, he stepped up to her and began to speak.
Taya was a stunning women, She had a beautiful face, with delicate features, a small nose, and full lips. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back in soft waves, and her deep brown eyes sparkled in the light. Her petite frame was fit, with curves in all the right places. She had an infectious smile, and a calming aura about her that drew people in.
He stammered and stumbled on his words, but eventually managed to muster up the courage to confess his feelings. He told her that he had been in love with her since they had first met and that he wanted nothing more than to be with her.
The princess was taken aback, but remained gracious and kind. She thanked him for his sentiment, but told him that she did not feel the same way. The noble was embarrassed and immediately felt foolish for having confessed his feelings. He bowed his head, thanked her, and quickly walked away. Mikhail and the fatty laughed hysterically while looking at this scene.
"This parties are sure interested "he said as he wiped his tears.
"Yes ,Yes and the food was pretty good"the fatty answered as he stuffed something in his mouth.
Everyone either laughed or snickered in distain clearly furious at the guy's confession
Other than some who didn't show any reaction.
Mikhail was really belwildered by the Noble Criss Stupidity.
