"That's everything you need to know, maybe if your lucky you can find a shrine and pray to me."
"Hey I still have some quest-"
And the Voice disappeared.
In an obscure space with nothing but white, a mouth was heard making a low grumble.
"...No way I mistakenly chose them. I am god, there is no way for me to make mistakes. The universe must have done that on purpose..."
It was the "All Mighty" the one who looked above all, the one predestined everything and all worlds. However, they were also simply a product of the universe. They were not born a sentient being, but made into one by sentient beings beliefs and religions. They were the accumulation of all forms of religions and belief systems.
"Well I still have to choose my champion. For that "novel" that needs more anchor characters."
Slowly a new soul seemed to have been summoned to the space. It was a small white circular shaped ball that gave off a faint bioluminescent light. Then the soul slowly began to take shape into a human form. The form had short hair, and a sickly appearance.
"W-what the..?"
'Wasn't I just sitting on my desk?'
"Hello there."
The soul seemed to have jumped from the sudden voice coming out of nowhere.
"Where am I? What happened? Who are you?"
"Be exalted young soul for you have been chosen to fill out your worldly desires! You might be confused, but don't be, this is a time of joy and new found passion for you have been granted a new life!"
'Why do these mortals always look so confused? Is it really that scary?'
"Uhh, excuse me you have the wrong person, I was just commenting on this novel I was reading, and now...I'm here."
'why would I say that?'
"Well isn't that perfect mortal, Using my powers I shall reincarnate you into your favorite novel, 'Reincarnated with the power to evolve infinitely as an extra' aren't you overjoyed??!!?"
"...Y-yes!"
'that novels an absolute shit show....'
"Isn't that perfect then? I am going to be reincarnating you into to the Asura household, one of the most powerful families in the Empire."
"Oh! Thank you, there void powers are very useful and powerful."
"Hmmmm... I'm feeling generous, I'm also going to gift you what your people would call a "system". Y'know bout the 7 deadly sins? It will be based off that. The 7 primordial sins of your biblical earth."
"Wow! Thank you! but is there any reason for you to do this?"
'No way he doesn't have any alternative motives...'
"Accept the generosity kid. See this is the problem with you mortals, always asking questions, wondering what's happening, worried for your lives, just allow things to happen. Back in my day if our homes suddenly blew up we would act fine and just build a new one, you mortals are so weak willed.."
'he's rambling..'
"Well anyway, I'm reincarnating you right when Marco Valentino is taken over, so go carve your name into the world, let everyone know the legend of Yara Asura!"
"..yes sir.."
-August-
"Morning Mac, and nah I forgot to do the homework. Could I look at yours?"
"Sure man, I'm in debt to you anyway"
Well being back at school, isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Back then, I really wondered how I would be able to connect with all these kids, cause of how Mature I was, but I learned something.
Just being a father figure/ older brother type of role gets the job done. It's not to close to the nor is it being a complete recluse.
"Morning August, can you look at this for me, I don't really understand it.."
So far, we were only allowed to take the basic classes that helped with general education, nobles however were allowed to learn magic early, along with some swordsmanship/ knight classes. Really unfair, but as of right now we can't do anything about it.
"Good Morning Class! How is everyone feeling? There's only about a month before you guys graduate and head to the academy, so to give you guys a head start, we're gonna begin a short introduction to your Mana classes"
Our teacher had short auburn hair that reach down to her shoulders. She gave off the personality of..how should I say this..?
A Capybara.
Welcoming and gentle, she always did her best to help us with work always striving for us to be the best. A perfect teacher in my book.
"Mrs. Brenson, why are we just now learning more about how to use our mana? Wouldn't it be better to learn this at the start of the year so we'd have a better foundation?"
"Well, the kingdom doesn't allow us to teach advanced magic yet, because of the danger it poses to the general populace. The only place to gather high tier magic knowledge is the University, which you all should be going to!"
Wow, that sounds like a load of...BS. To protect ourselves, really? But nobles are allowed to learn it? Corruption everywhere..
"Well anyway, lets begin our lesson. Using your ability is a very simple task, the best way to describe it is as using a limb. Most of you should already know this, but the use of mana depends on each person. Some people are able to use it efficiently without wasting to much of their energy whilst others may need to forcibly gather mana instead of breathing it in naturally. Today, we're going to learn how to breathe in that mana more effectively not only making your abilities more effective but also less costly."
"Think of mana as a form of energy, or nutrition. Just like how you need food in order to move around and do things, you need mana in order to manipulate your magic. Because mana is all around us it's easy for.."
This is probably the most focused I've ever been in my long history of school. Learning more about magic, I've been waiting for this forever.
Back in the forest, I got revenge on that bear that chased me back when I was a kid, but ever since then, I swear they sent a warning about me. I rarely see those "Vaspe" or any other bears anymore.
My magic has had little improvement. I'm able to summon about 20-30 Automatic Rifles and 15 Sniper rifles, but I've made no progress with tanks, or missiles. I don't even want to speak on the nuke.
In order to summon these weapons I just visualize what it looks like, and the effect I wish to have on someone or something.
I also learned, that I can just hold the weapons myself if it comes down to it. Visualizing one weapon such as a rocket launcher and just holding it, takes up less mana but I'm definitely not as accurate as when it's just summoned above me.
I did learn how to summon the weapons in different areas this year. It took a while and takes up much more mana.
"Well that's it for the lecture Guys, I hope you have a good rest of the day!"
Mrs. Brenson's voice reverberated throughout the large classroom, as she seemed to hurry out..?
'I guess everyone wants school to end'
With only a month left of my Highschool Career, I began to think back, on all the accolades I had made.
...
...
..made a good amount of friends, I had good grades.
I stopped walking towards the next class, and looked down sullenly.
I had changed almost nothing about myself from when I was last in school. I knew I should've joined some sports but I made the excuse 'You need to practice magic, you don't have time for it'.
Wait no, this is a chance for me! University starts in about 5 months. I'll have plenty of time to become a model student. I'll become the best student the empire has ever seen!
(As we all know, August is very famous for keeping himself in check and pursuing his goals.)
