Magic…
Back in my world, the thought of this was like trying to convince an adult, Santa existed.
It never goes well… people either look at you crazy, or you just attract weirdos.
But in this world, magic is everything.
11 years have passed since I was reincarnated into this world, and just in this short time I have learnt alot from this world.
For starters, I'm the first son of a noble man. His name, Sir Elyon Vermont, couldn't sound any more noble even if he wanted to.
He is a royal knight for the king, I'm guessing he's a big deal considering how well our family has been feeding for the past years.
The name given to me from birth was Aether Vermont, kinda reminds me of a gacha game I used to play back in junior high.
I'm surprisingly handsome, and that's not me trying to be narcissistic, my black hair is flawless and my jaw line is even more flawless.
My family currently lives in the Fiona Kingdom, it's large and stuff, I never really paid details to these things.
Anyway, moving on, the people here have a power system belief, something called Visions, a blessing given to them by specific gods who rule over certain regions.
At the age of 15, every child is supposed to visit the church to get their vision, it worked something like this….
At birth, you are born with a class magic type, could be fire, water, ice, etc, the magic range is so vast people don't know it all.
Once you have your magic type, there is only so much you can do with it, hence, the visions, these gods bless you with their visions, granting some kind of foresight and wisdom, to expand the use of your magic, some are even able to wield 2 or more magic type, depending on the person.
Which is total and utter bullshit.
The people of this world are so naive, everyone became lazy, knowing there was a god to boost their Magic prowess, perhaps I'm just the one that sees things differently.
I was only five years old when I noticed this, people tend to say, if you focus enough, you'll see your magic type, like a revelation, some see, fire, some air, you get the gist of it.
But I only saw pure darkness, nothing else, if this isn't a step to my plot armor, I don't know what is.
Getting on, what I noticed helped my research even more, although it was accidental, I was able to focus a large amount of magic to my eye sight, and what I saw was truly magnificent.
The human body is made up of magic circuits, I named it that, since it looked like a chip from those old computers.
These circuits spread throughout the human body, and I could easily see the magic particles following through them… and this was how magic worked.
Depending on how you tweak your circuits, you can use magic of any type, any range, any grand.
I figured this out when I wanted to sneak away from home to find a place I could begin setting up my base. All I did was try to make a clone of myself with a bit of sand magic, and to my surprise, I changed the path of my magic circuits and I could instantly make clones of myself.
A truly perfect way to prove I am the main character of this narrative. A power only I can weild.
So in other words, these so-called Visions are completely useless to me, and if only people could learn how to tweak their magic circuits like I did… perhaps they also would be able to perform unthinkable things, even going as far as curing sickness of all kinds.
As I am now, I can never fall sick, hell, if need be, I can tweak my magic circuits just enough to expand my life force even more.
That said… It takes a great deal of mental strength to accomplish this feat, as I always say.
"No risk no gain".
I can't count how many times I nearly ran mad because I lost control, but it will pay off in the end when I'm leading my cult and laying waste to my enemies.
Everything about this world is different, and that made it all the more interesting to manipulate to my own taste.
They have no knowledge of martial arts, like Kung Fu, boxing, Krav Maga, Taekwondo, and I don't want to believe they have the power of friendship power ups
Instead they depend on something they call, sword style, combat style, and so on.
And although it has its uses since it's highly dependent on magic, using the previous world fighting method would make me stand out even more.
For example, imagine I was in an intense fight with a boss, and I suddenly changed my fighting style and started boxing, and I'm sending him flying all over the place, he would go…
"AHHH! W…what the hell are you?"
Ahhh! Music to my ears.
That pretty much sums it all, everything was going exactly as planned, nothing could ruin my chances of being the biggest Cult leader the world has ever seen.
....
"This is definitely going to ruin my plans of being the biggest Cult leader".
Standing in front of me was a girl, long silver hair, the same elf girl I met at the door back when I first arrived here.
Although I never saw her after that time, she's suddenly right in front of me, in my mother's bedroom with my mother sitting on the bed.
"Aether darling, in a few years time, you'll be attending the Everstain academy, you'll be near a lot of nobles, your father is very adamant about that, so you need to act like them and not bring embarrassment to the Vermont name."
Where is she going with this?.
"This is a high class Elf, She will be your personal maid from now on." My mother spoke, pointing at the blonde elf girl in front of me.
The only thing I could feel at that moment was the intense stare this girl was giving me.
She suddenly bowed her head, her floppy maid dress swaying with every moment.
"It's an honor to serve you, Master Aether." She uttered, her voice soothing, almost compelling.
That aside….
This sudden change might cause a bit of an issue for me, I can't do things in secret if I have a personal maid following me around all the time….
I need to fix this.
