It had almost been three years since I had been reincarnated here. I am now able to walk and run properly without falling down.
I had also finally able to talk normally with this universe's universal language including some other language that I learn from Holo-Books and online literature materials.
*****
I decided to live my new life to the fullest while training and preparing for the mission given to me by the God of Creation.
To help me my future self in fighting the Fallen God's Champion, I decided to train my small body's physical strength and my mana control within my body.
Why am I training my mana control you might ask, to help me in casting a spell faster and easier, since a person needs to master their control on mana to cast a spell perfectly. Not only that, the amount of mana and how smooth the mana supplies can also determine between a slow, inaccurate and weak fireball spell or a fast, precise and powerful fireball spell. Hence, mana control is an important aspect at casting spells.
Furthermore, I had also began asking my servants to help bring me Holo-Books or to take me to my family's private library so that I can learn how to read, learn and gather more information about the place I am reincarnated in.
My family's private library is really huge, as big as the biggest public library in my old world. When I asked the servants whether my family's private library was bigger than most others. They said it was about the average size for a Count-Rank house compared to other noble houses private library of the same rank.
Since I started spending time reading books and watching records at my family private library, all the servants in the mansion regarded me as a Genius Heir. Even my parents was proud of me whereas my father boasted about me being a prodigy to his friends and subordinates. However, deep inside, I knew my abilities to learn and adapt faster than other children is due to me being a reincarnator and Champion of the God of Creation.
Besides gathering information about the universe I am born in, I also taken a great interest in learning magic since magic didn't exist in my past life. The Holo-Books I read for example are;
The Study of Mana and Magic, a sorcerer's guide in the basic study of mana and magic.
The Rise and Fall of a Great Giant, a recorded history of the Rise and Fall of the Mighty Almeria Empire.
Adventuring around the Galaxy, a reference guide to the various Inter-stellar nations around the galaxy, the various races living in the galaxy and their unique characteristic.
These three are one of the many books I read since I was only allowed access into my family private library. However, it was The Study of Mana and Magic that gotten my attention the most. As someone who came from a world without magic, the chances to read and study actual documentation on it was very relevant to my interests. Reading the book also taught me some of the basics of mana and magic.
First, spells can be divided into three basic types; Active spells, which are spells used against or used for others. Passive spells, which are spells used for the caster themselves. And Summon spells that are used to call fourth something. Based on the book, there are other sub-type of spells, however those three are the basic type of spells that most user of mana can use.
Second, only High-Beings such as High-Human, High-Elves, High-Dwarves, High-Angels and etc can control and use mana to cast spells. This is due to High-Beings have special cells called Manaclorian flowing in their blood stream. By having these cells, a High-Being is able to save mana inside their body and control mana around them and those inside their body. However, Normal-Beings such as normal Humans, normal Elves, normal Dwarves, normal Angels and etc who doesn't have any Manaclorian in their body are unable to use and store mana. Not only that, by forcefully adding Manaclorian into their body, a Normal-Being will slowly die due to mana poisoning. Hence, only High-Beings can use and wield mana.
Third, the amount of mana a High-Being can store and wield can be further increase by training their mana control and constantly using their mana. It is just like training to build stamina or muscles however for mana.
An interesting information I learn previously mentions that High-Beings mature faster and live longer compared to Normal-Beings. This is due to High-Beings body developing and perfecting themselves faster so that they can store and wield more mana as they grow up. Even though Gene-Enhancement Serums are given and used by everyone, a High-Being lifespan that taken that Serum is able to live between 1000 to 1500 years while a Normal-Being lifespan is 800 to 1000 years. To make difference more apparent, a High-Being physically fully mature at the age 25 before start aging slowly while a Normal-Being will physically fully mature at the age 55 after they took the Gene-Enhancement Serum before they starts aging slowly. However, most High-Beings and Normal-Beings mentally mature at the same age which is 60 years old. Which even makes my own head spin to understand all of these information.
Just like in my previous life, my personal life quote that is there is nothing fair in life, what's matter is how you make use of your surroundings to live a happy life. Though, I have failed to achieve this in my previous life.
"Young Master, are you here reading those Holo-Books again? It is time for dinner and everyone have already sat at the dining room and are waiting for you to join them." This old man is Alfred and he is my family's Head Butler and he is also one of my father's most trusted friend and subordinate. Although he looks he is in his late-fifties, he is actually more than 800 years old and already have some great-great-grandchildren around my age. "The lord have warn you last time Young Master, not to stay coup inside the library and spend some time with your sisters. Sigh… We should head to the dining room immediately Young Master."
"Okay Alfred." Alfred decided to carry me to the dining room since it will take a long time for my small legs to walk to the dining room. Although we can use the mansion's cart to move from the library to the dining room, Alfred says he can walk faster than those carts even when carrying me, which is true enough.
When we enter the dining room, my father, Joshua is sitting at the Lord's chair with my mother, Christiana, on her right side. My mother is holding a girl around two years old on her lap, Dorothy, which is my little sister. On my father left is my big sister Diana, who is calling Dorothy to catch her attention.
"Alfred, it seems you found Donovan. Son, didn't I tell you to immediately to come here when it is dinner time, it is bad manners to make others wait for you, understand son?" My father look at me while scolding me.
"Yes dad, I will not do it again…" I apologize to my father sincerely.
"Joshua dear, you shouldn't scold him too much, besides, didn't you arrive late earlier." My mother interject, trying to lighten up the mood.
"Cough… We should start having dinner now that Donovan is here." My father was fast in changing the topic while trying to protect his pride as a father in front of his children.
As we ate dinner, my father starts talking to my big sister, Diana.
"Diana, since next month will be your 5th birthday, you will be taking a manachlorian test a week after your birthday.
"Really daddy!?" Diana asked excitingly while standing on her chair.
"Diana, sit down and yes, you will be taking a manachlorian test a week after your birthday. After that, you will be entering an Educational Capsule for a year."
"YAY!!! I'll show all my friends that my test result is better than them."
"What is a manachlorian test dad?" I ask my father curiously.
"A manachlorian test is a test that show how powerful us as High-Beings are. All the people in our territory are mandatorily required to take this test at the age of 5, 13 and 21 to see how much manachlorian they have and how much growth they have."
"Don't all High-Beings have it while Normal-Beings don't dad? So why are all the people in our territory needs to take it. I had read that all children from two High-Beings will High-Beings, all children from two Normal-Beings will be Normal-Beings and children between a High-Being and Normal-Being sometimes being a High-Being or Normal-Being."
"You know a lot son, where did you read all of this?" My father as me curiously.
"From the Holo-Books in the library dad." My father only nods his head at my answer.
"Well son, not all children from two Normal-Beings become Normal-Beings like their parents, sometimes they can also become High-Beings too but they are less stronger than average High-Beings. However this also applies to children being born from two High-Beings too since their children can also become a Normal-Beings due to genetic reasons." My father explained.
"So, Big sister, me and Dorothy can also be Normal-Beings then dad?" I asked my father curiosly.
"Yes, but don't worry kiddo, since your mom and I will always love and support the three of you even if all of you are Normal Beings." My father replies with a smile on his face.
As many of you may have thought, the relationship between a High-Being and Low-Being is quite unstable. This is due to High-Being are able to use mana, higher physical strength, higher intelligence, higher natural beauty and have a longer lifespan compare to a Normal-Being. The advantages that a High-Beings have are a huge source of envy and hatred to many Normal-Beings as they have a harder time finding income sources compare to Normal-Beings. Due to the numbers of High-Beings being very low compared to the number of Normal-Beings which is a fifth of the whole population in this galaxy, many Inter-Stellar Nations gives High-Beings better privileges so that they will continue to stay in their country as they are considered a sacred asset compare to Normal-Beings. Hence, many High-Beings are proud of their genetics and see Normal-Beings as lifeforms which are a bit better than most unintelligence being in this galaxy while still being inferior to themselves. Even the Inter-Stellar nation I am born in, which is the New Empire of Almeria is not excluded. Henceforth, a mutual hatred and conflict between High-Beings and Normal-Beings are born due to this few reasons.
All of us continue to eat dinner peaceful until we were finish and went to bed.
