It's already 7 months since I was reborn in this world. And finally, I achieve the greatest step to be a fully grown human. I am now able to...
Crawl! Hahaha.
It's really sucks staying in the bed all day and night listening to everyone around me. I feel like I'm in jail in a form of baby body being unable to move freely.
My bone and skin finally getting tougher, I crawl towards the mirror that my father just bought.
As I get closer to the mirror, I saw my appearance. "This is me?"
This is the first time I saw myself in this world, my iris is color red, seems like I got this from my mother with a thick sharp eyebrows. I have a good shape of nose as well, my hair is purely dark black. If I get older, you might think that I'm really look like my mother. My skin is clear white and it's glowing through the sunlight.
"I'm in love with myself." I smirk on the mirror while rubbing my hair.
But there's one thing I want to know, where the hell I am. By observing my parents, how people lives here, culture, language and everything. I learn that this world is not Earth.
There's a lot of differences between this world and Earth.
This world seems like a medieval era. A period between the ancient and modern period. So the most obvious thing that I noticed, there is no electricity.
But how they were able to live without source of energy? That question lingered in my head, but base on my studies.
People in this world use magic and mana. I always imagined and fantasized this kind of life, but never in my wildest dreams this actually exist.
I only see magical powers in the movies and video games.
2 years had pass now, I spent all of my time scaping from my mother to go in our library room, not to read some nursery books of course, but to learn more about this world.
I learn that not all of the people can use magic and for those who can use magic, they have super natural energy they called Mana.
Base on the book I'm reading with the title "Basic of Magic and Spirits"
Mana is a magical source of energy for them to be able to neutralize, control and manipulate magic.
People able to have Mana and Magic if their animal spirits is fully manifest...
"Wait, what is animal spirits?"
Animal spirits is a spiritual powers that only 30% of the population have manifested. In certain spiritual traditions or cultures, animal spirits refers to a spirit which helps guide or protect a person on a journey and whose characteristics that person shares or embodies.
In more relatability means, everyone have their own animals spirits that embodies them. When in use, animals spirits takes over the soul of a human. In exchange, user will received significant enhancement over physical strength, intelligence, agility and complete control over mana thus making them able to have some special abilities.
"Manifest? How can I have Animal spirits?" I mumbled to myself, while I continue to read.
Animal spirits can be acquired through extreme concentration and meditation.
Some cases of people acquired their animal spirit by the age of 13 years old to 15 year's old. If a person can't manifest their animal spirits between the age gap mentioned, then their chances of having animal spirits decrease to zero percent. To cut the long story short, you must able to manifest your animal spirits before turning 16 years old.
"Base on this book, I should be able to manifest my animal spirit by closing my eyes, clearing my thoughts and releasing all negative energy." I close my eyes, I sat on the ground. A few minutes later, nothing happened.
"Uuggggghhh... This is harder than I thought." I grudge on the floor as my body feels tired.
Another 5 months had pass, I am still trying to figure out how to manifest my animal spirits, base on the text book. I should concentrate that I could feel my soul reaching me.
With proper breathing, I sit on the wooden floor and I close my eyes. I focus my thoughts reaching the very bottom of my soul, I should be able to at least access the entrance of my spirits domains.
Everyday I practice my meditation.
Again and again, I continue my so called training to acquired this animal spirits.
"What's this?" And finally, it seems my years of training was not in vain.
I am floating in a place something like a void space with an infinite darkness that leads nowhere, yet I can control my body like I'm flying.
Not long enough, suddenly I feel my body temperature rises in abnormal rates, I feel an infinite mana all over my body. A sudden terrifying energy flows through the darkness, a gaze that pears through my souls, an evil eye that's watching me all this time, not a single cell in my body would dare to move. My soul paralyzed with fear, trembling in horror.
William's POV
"This is the last thieves we caught!" I put the man inside a magic jail.
"Nice catch William!" The man shouted, raising his brows on me. "They really gives me a headache." He continue on speaking, while tying the magical beast on it's neck, connecting it to the carriage of magical jail. While the three persons lock inside.
"We will continue our thieves hunt tomorrow, you can go home now William." The man rides at the back of magical beast and started to command. "Hiyaaaah!! I'll go ahead and turn them over to our facility." He left with the three thieves we just caught.
When they gone out of my sight, I turn back and go home.
After Aurelia gave birth to Nathan, I quit being a hunter and start working for our local security in our village. That man is Lieutenant Zack. He gave me this job as a gift for me and my wife.
Lieutenant Zack was a good person, his 30 years of experience being a Pro-Hunter benefit's the Emperial Security branch, with him in charge on our local villages I assured that my family would be safe.
As I walk, I saw the destroyed cart from the thieves. "His control over his bull animal spirits is top notch, that last charge attack on our enemies, even I that fully aware was caught off guard."
"I wonder how's everyone" As I walk towards the woods, I remembered my previous party when I was a hunter.
After passing through the woods, something strange that warns my instincts. I suddenly feels chilled down to my spine. "Something's happening."
I sharpen my eyes activating spirit dives, I started walking carefully, using my animal spirits it enhances my instincts, smell and reaction speed.
A sudden surge of pressure from a powerful magic mana strikes like a lightning. "This is so powerful."
Then a powerful loud noise from a distant, seems like an explosion from a hundred of TNT bombs. I run bolts towards the explosion, my heart beats faster and faster as get closer realizing this is the direction towards our house.
Not long enough I've reach the vicinity of our households. My eye widened when I saw my house was completely annihilated and destroyed. My thoughts thinks nothing but…
"Nathan!" I shouted on the top of my lounges rushing towards the shattered house, burning in fires. Smoke and dust is blocking my vision, yet it did not bother me.
"Release!" I cast a strong wind spell to clear my surroundings.
As the winds blows all smokes and dust, clearing as well the fires that's caused heat.
My tears starts to fall when I saw my wife from the other side completely unharm, as she cries hysterically with no idea about our son's safety.
"This is unbelievable…" I kneel on the ground when I saw my son Nathan floating in the middle of the air looking like meditating in the beds of clouds.
"He's just 3 years old, how is this possible?"
My son, just Manifest his Animal Spirits at the age of 3 years old.
