And with that, our protagonist Herick, started to grow, with five months he was already crawling, with six and a half he already spoke the first word and sentence, his mother had spent a whole day cursing, and saying that his father should be a cuckold, then he said to make fun of it:
"Mom, Daddy is a cuckold!"
Marilene almost jumped in fright, she looked at him and was speechless, and then she spent a long time thinking about how to carry out that plan, make him believe that his father died in the war, and even five months of a lot of effort on her part, he still said:
"Yes, yes, daddy is cuckold"
And when he was four years old, he began to speak:
"Daddy is an honorable cuckold, he died for the kingdom"
Marilene didn't know what to do or what to say, Herick became known as a poisonous tongue, and the fact that a baby showed the finger, traveled to the capital, but it became a myth, few people knew it was true.
When he had his fifth birthday, he jumped out of bed hearing a loud 'Ding' sound.
'Ding'

Herick was looking at the screen in front of him, it was similar to when a certain playboy put on a technological helmet. Half sci-fi, he was interacting without even thinking about whether it was a lie, because the guy has already gone to another world, why can't there be a system?
________________________________________________
Host, your two active souls are ready, worth remembering that the host would not have an active soul, since his soul came from another universe, will the Host use both?
________________________________________________
Herick looked at this news and thought:
(Unfair world, I'm glad I have a gift from my universe, would it be from the universe? In fact, I'm sure this gift was given to me by...)
{Author: interpretative}
{ Herick: you know who it was, you're just omitting it}
{Author: Maybe, I'm glad he remembers you}
{Herick: True.}
(System use both active souls)
'Ding'

Congratulations, Host used his two random active souls, and won the Jungle Lion King and Sea King Leviathan.
________________________________________________
(System could enlighten me about the king of the jungle, since Leviathan I already know)
'Ding'
________________________________________________
'The king of the jungle is no ordinary lion, the king of the jungle has adaptive abilities, the pride of a king, which intimidates even the strongest prey, the unparalleled majesty, that all animals have to obey, it's a pity you don't it's him, you only have the active soul, but it gives you a large part of his powers, but as the animals in this world have an active soul you have to be stronger than them to really subdue, otherwise he just gives you a huge talent
________________________________________________
(It seems that this time I did well, who would say? Good as to be expected, from an animal that even buries itself before dying, so as not to be eaten by vultures)
Soon Herick's body began to undergo a great change, his black hair became thicker, his light brown eyes became sharp, he became muscular, he looked like a child taking steroids, or else, a child version of a certain lion who likes to take sun, but it didn't look bad on him, it gave a feeling of wildness, and majesty at the same time, a dangerous feeling emanated from him, but for women he was charming? Ahem, girls his age, women thought he was cute, and wanted his mother to promise him to her daughters.
Herick decided to start training his physique before using fishing.
Every day he climbed a hill not far from home and started punching the stone, yes the stone, he discovered that it had super regeneration, it must have been from the active soul of Leviathan.
And his strength and resistance were very good, so overcoming the pain, he went to hit the stone with his fist, every time he returned home bloodied, Marilene was worried, the community people saw this and stayed away from him, after a while At that time Marilene started to leave the house for a while too.
Nobody messed with Marilene, they saw what the five-year-old son did to himself, and imagined what he would do with someone after he grew up.
And five years passed in the blink of an eye, the ten-year-old Herick looked like a fifteen-year-old teenager; Due to his fame, he had the chance to be enrolled in a noble people's school.
The geito was very peculiar, the fame of the bloody child was plaguing all communities in Rio de Janeiro, and one day a nobleman heard and became interested.
Thought it was funny that such a legend existed, he got drunk.
And he said that if such a child existed, and he hit one of his guards, he would give up his son's place at the school, moreover, sponsor his studies, and arrange for one of his personal accommodations, so that the family would be accommodated in a good place, this idiot said this in a royal meeting, and gave his word like a baron.
Many know how Brazilians like to joke, and how many barons were intrigued by the subject, soon found Herick.
and they still provided a great show, with the royal family present, Herick, who knew about his mother's condition, was bought by the barons.
That they gave him 40 gold coins, to participate, for you to know, a commoner earns on average 25 copper coins cleaning, this per month, a common soldier 1 silver coin when he is not at war, here comes 4 barons to Herick with 40 gold coins each, even uncomfortable, he accepted.
100 brass equals 1 silver, and 1 silver equals 100 bronze, ahem, another misstep, and 1 gold equals 100 silver, so imagine the temptation.
Even if the idiot baron didn't fulfill what he had promised, he could go live in the capital with just that money.
The big day arrived, Herick and Marilene were transported to the capital, Marilene was super angry with her son, so much so that she didn't even speak to him on the way.
And him trying to talk to him at the time of the duel; she was taken to the VIP seat and in desperation left a:
"Careful, don't get hurt, if you get killed by him, when I get home I will kill you"
Herick scratched his head and nodded, the place looked like a coliseum, with many seats, grandstand style
Almost the size of a football field, Herick already knew he had bets, he gave all the money to his mother and told her to bet, she agreed hesitating, when she saw the value of the bet, she opened a smile, if Herick wins the person wins 1000 times the bet, if the other wins he wins 1 time, that was like a mockery.
But this was affirmed by the name of the royal family, and she placed the 160 gold coins there, and began to twist, already a noble viscount when she saw it, she shuddered at the base, looked at the child and thought:
"My son, your father is negligent, if he didn't abandon you and erase your tracks, my family would have killed you and your mother, my brothers want my head, I hope you and your mother can forgive me one day, who knows you won't see me? At least before I'm dead"
If Herick knew, he would suffer and cry, poor guy who went to buy cigarettes.
Arriving at the arena, everyone saw Herick, he looked like a lion in human form, he had more nobility than a king and more pride than a dragon.
What nobody noticed was the look of a certain little princess, who seemed to jump over Herick's every muscle, actually two little princesses, if the King saw that he would regret it his eldest daughter is 16 years old, and the youngest is 10, they both had the same glazed look.
Against him was a knight in armor, with a sword in his hand.
Marilene and the count trembled, the interlocutor presented both sides, and as the opposing soldier was fully armed, a man approached Herick and said:
"Sir, do you need weapons?"
Herick admired this person's work ethic, he was 1.69 now, not too tall nor too short but for a ten year old, it was very tall, if it weren't for this world having a lot of strange things, nobody would believe that, Herick replied :
"Yes, my noble, a battle axe"
And then four men brought an ax that was twice Herick's height and placed it on the ground with a sneer and quickly left.
Herick smiled, walked looked at the nobles and spoke in a domineering way:
"I thought battle axes were heavier, why did they bring me a one-handed axe?"
(as it's good to pretend to be proud, I'm going to start imitating him in public, since a lion is a lion, right)
Herick looked at the judge and said:
"You can start?"
The judge nodded, the guy in armor started to get ready, but something happened.
Herick put his hand on the ax and raised it, and heard the roar of a lion; when a person's soul reaches a certain level it becomes capable of invoking, regardless of whether it is an animal or not, in Herick's case he only got the lion's roar but it was enough for even the king to shudder, the guy from the other side turned pale Herick seeing this said:
"Calm down, I'm not going to kill you, I'm just going to hit you so hard, you'd rather be dead"
Everyone who heard this gulped, and Herick quickly thought:
(What else can I say to make me feel like a monster? I know)
"Your first sin was crossing my path, your second sin was agreeing to duel a child, your third and worst sin was thinking you were on my level."
He finished with a smile, and under everyone's astonished eyes, he turned the ax on its back which was square and had no blade.
The king exclaimed:
"That's the kind of soldier we need"
The queen thought:
(I wish my man was so domineering)
The king's daughters thought:
(My future husband)
