Upon opening my eyes, I saw the blue screen of the system; A tired smile formed on my lips. I felt very exhausted from fatigue, both physically and mentally. It was a challenge to maintain focus and feel unbearable pain at the same time. Undoubtedly, the worst experience I've had so far.
Observing my rewards, I felt incredibly excited and satisfied. The elixir would help eliminate all the flaws in my body, making it even more resilient and perfect. On the other hand, the 3-star mastery was undoubtedly a great reward, as it is one level above my rank.
Sir Miguel helps me to stand up. "Congratulations, young master. You did quite well." It's the first time he addresses me that way; I guess I earned his respect. I give him a sincere smile. "Thank you very much, Miguel. Without your help, it would have taken me longer." Laughing softly, he responds, "It's all thanks to your effort. Now go rest; tomorrow we'll start using the aura in our battles." With those words, he bids farewell and calls my sister, who, as always, was watching everything. I look directly into her eyes, and she does the same; after a few seconds, she simply starts following Miguel. Neither of us uttered a single word.
Aura is one of the exclusive techniques of every being who handles weapons, unlike magicians or wizards, we expel our mana directly from the orb and concentrate it on improving our physique and protecting the body. As I walk towards my room, I encounter my father.
"Good afternoon, father," I greet the duke with respect, bowing slightly.
I can feel his gaze on me, his very presence demanding respect and submission, "Congratulations," with that word, he begins to walk.
Indeed, having someone else recognize your effort feels very good; this is perfect, I am changing my own destiny a lot, this change will generate very drastic changes for the main plot, but I don't give a damn, I will always prefer my safety over bastards that I don't even know who they are.
My eyes shine with determination; I will give it my all, I will face everything this world has for me, I will not back down for anyone, anyone who dares to stand in my way, I will crush them, anyone who humiliates me, I will crush them even more. I want to live this second life with all I have; this is very exciting; this world is fun, more than Earth but by far. Many mysteries and links between characters, before I only read them on pages, but now I can interact with them and even see them in person... just thinking about it makes my blood boil throughout my body, with a smile on my face in anticipation.
Upon reaching my room, I head straight to the bathroom to rid myself of all the sweat and freshen up. After coming out and sitting on my bed, I murmur, "Status." I am thrilled with my new statistics. A familiar blue screen appears before me...
