1st person Pov:

Daughter. Grandson. Part of the family. Compensation? Crap.

[You have figured out the situation accurately with too less information. Wisdom stat is increased by 1]

I can somewhat theorize what must have happened. Carla and Joseph eloped. I have heard that Carla is very talented as a mage. She is very strong and can become stronger too. And also, after seeing her mana signatures, I have to say that she has very good control over them. Such good control even I don't possess even though I have the all-mana body.

If I have to guess, then her father must have wanted to use her to gain a stronger status. A political tool. Surely, he must have wanted to wed her to some kingdom's royal family to increase his might. And the last thing he must have wanted was for her to become a part of the Revstein family and increase its might which would in turn threaten their authority. So, he must be putting pressure on her to somehow give in to his demands. And now he has found a great opportunity, me. Pressurizing Carla would be easier using me.

They are not strong enough so they must have promised the Royal family of Carenheim something. Most likely it is them who want Carla and also don't want to see a stronger family than themselves. After all, they are the rulers of this kingdom. If another family has even greater power than them, then their authority is also in danger. It must have made them insecure. If both families combine, then it might be possible to pressurize the Revstein family or just Carla, and using Kingdom's laws as a pretext, they can negotiate or even threaten this family.

It's not that Noah will be easily threatened based on what I have heard. So, another party must be at play here. It could be a factor as well. Such as Noah's loyalty to the kingdom or the kingdom having more guardians like Noah who can go toe to toe with him. In such a situation, an internal war would only weaken everyone. If it is a third party, then it must be the Church. I have heard that Noah is a devout believer of the Goddess Astoria. The Church can use some underhanded methods to weaken him. Such as declaring one of his kin as a devil worshipper. The imperial family in Kunlun used to play such dirty tricks because they had the public opinion with them. If an organization has a great influence on the public and common populace, then the chances of them using such tricks are high. It doesn't matter if they are messengers of some goddess. If they feel threatened even saints resort to evil methods so I have no doubt they will too.

My wisdom increased three times which means that I am somewhat correct. Or maybe entirely correct. Now that I have a somewhat clear picture of my circumstances, now I just need to quietly grow my strength. Buying 'Mana conceal' was a good decision. Now I have bought myself a few years. In these few years what I will have to do is level up and increase the level of my All-mana body. I will also need to gain knowledge on everything regarding this world and its residents. I need every weakness that can be exploited. Every dirty deed they have done and are under wraps. This is the easiest way to deal with your enemies, just find out their wrongdoings and 70% percent of your task of destroying them would be complete. I have many advantages; I should use them wisely. If I don't, I will end up dead.

"Michael…... MICHAEL" just then I heard Joseph yelling out my name. I turned my attention towards him. What does he want? Can't he see I am trying to make my future plans here? He should be happy; most kids do that when the time of action has long passed. I am doing it now and he is disrupting me. What a bad father. Humph.

When he saw me paying attention to him, he asked, "What are you thinking so hard for so long buddy?" I am thinking about the mess that you have made. Yet he ignores my dilemma and, "Come on, let's go play outside." 'What? He wants me to play outside with him. Who does he think I am? A kid? I am not playing with you.' Deciding that I went under the covers, completely ignoring him. Joseph was devastated seeing me behave like that and tried doing many things to get my attention. That is until he said something that did get my attention. "Come on buddy, I have to return this evening and I won't be home for a month. I want to spend some time with you." He said all this while making a long face. But what he said brought a beaming smile to my face. I get to have Carla for a whole month. That is amazing. I guess I will sacrifice some of my time and accompany him for a day. Deciding that I opened my arms towards him, gesturing for him to pick me up. His attitude completely changed upon seeing that and he hurriedly pick me up maybe thinking that I might change my mind. Well, I really might change my mind, seeing his idiotic face the whole day.

[The main quest has arrived]

[Gaining strength part 1

You are now in a new world, but your soul is of the previous one. New laws do not mean you have to mold yourself according to them. Strength is needed to live according to the way of the 'Angel of Kunlun'

Task: reach level 10

Time limit: none

Reward: (1) 1x d-grade weapon (2) 10 stat points (3) 3 skill points (4) a random skill

Punishments: none]

The main quest? What is that? I need to reach level 10. rewards are enticing but what is this graded weapon? Is it some type of classification of weapons? Well, we'll find out, won't we? But this name, even though it's not been a long time, it feels like an eternity since I've heard it. 'Anger of Kunlun".
