Chapter 5 - Future Plans

'By the way, why were my muscles so sore?'

[Before the host took possession of your current body, the original owner of the body messed up mana-training, resulting in some muscle injuries]

[But don't worry, as you were gaining the memories of your current body, I took the liberty of restoring them to their original form.]

'There won't be any negative side-effects?'

I couldn't help but ask, as I was becoming nervous after listening to the system's words.

[Your muscles have returned to their original form without any issues.]

After hearing the system's reply, I breathed a sigh of relief and contemplated my next plan of action.

'System, how old am I right now?'

[Ding...

Skill acquired: Status Analysis

Description: The host can check the status of himself or any other individual, as long as the host has physical contact with them.]

I blinked repeatedly as a message box appeared in front of me, and read it carefully.

'Hmmm...so, how do I activate my skill?'

[The host can activate the skill by muttering "Status Analysis" inside his head.]

'Status Analysis!'

[

Name: Flynn Ernest

Power: Null

'Hmmmm.....since I am still 8 years old, I have around 13 years till the main story starts.'

[Correct.]

The original protagonist was supposed to be pretty weak at the beginning of the story, so if I deprive him of future growth opportunities, I'll be able to stand in his place.

Considering that I am still too young to travel, I should focus on improving the relationship between me and my older sister first. But, I have to improve my power level as well, as it is crucial to be OP to capture some of the heroines' hearts as they are proud women.

I mean why would they settle for a man weaker than themselves, even going as far as sharing him with other women?

'But that won't be a major issue.'

I know numerous secrets of the game, so gaining strength won't be an issue.

But to get the funds to travel around the world, I must first gain the trust and support of my family.

'Speaking of which, what does my sister think of me?'

[She sees you as an incompetent brother. She does care about you as a little brother, but you don't spend time with her, so her affection for you is limited.]

'In the original story, what was their relationship before Flynn committed suicide?'

[Flynn hated her, but he didn't show it because he knew she had done nothing wrong. He felt guilty for hating her for no reason, so he had the habit of avoiding her.]

[But she never hated him. When she realized how depressed he was, she felt the need to cheer him up. Flynn tended to avoid her, so she gave up.]

[She was devastated to hear the news of his suicide and felt guilty that she could not be there for him. Her father's sudden departure made matters worse, as she cut off most contact with other people.]

I was very happy to hear the explanation of the system. I thought the relationship between the two was bad, but this is...

'Better than I expected. With my knowledge of the game, I should be able to win her heart easily.'

As I thought about my plans for the future, a satisfied smile appeared on my face.

The main story starts in 13 years when my sister will be 22 years old, so there's no need for me to rush.

Before I can improve my relationship with my sister, I must first go to the library to get information about the world I am currently in.

Making some minor plans for the future, I proceeded to open the door of my room and make my way to my father's office...
