Izzan's Rapid Development
By the age of seven months, Izzan Elric was already showing remarkable progress. Though still tiny, he was beginning to learn to walk with his mother Mira Elric's help. Each day, Izzan grew stronger and more determined in his efforts to stand and step forward. With the memories and intelligence from his previous life, he displayed abilities far beyond those of a typical baby.
Daily Routine
Izzan's days began with a routine quite different from other infants. Every morning, he accompanied his mother to the docks. Mira, a skilled mage summoner, used her abilities to move heavy cargo and transport goods at the Benteng Solus docks. Even at such a young age, Izzan had become accustomed to the bustling life of the docks. Often, he was left in the care of his mother's clients, giving Izzan the chance to meet a variety of people and observe the events around him.
Here, Izzan encountered traders, adventurers, and even monster hunters who relied on Mira's services. Izzan, quietly observing and listening to every conversation, began to absorb valuable information about the magical world that had become his home. He learned more about society, the economy, and even the various types of monsters that were hunted and traded.
Interactions with Athena
Amidst the hustle and bustle, Athena, the AI still connected to Izzan's mind from his previous life, continued to offer guidance. However, their interactions were not always smooth. Athena, with her serious and structured approach, often clashed with Izzan's occasionally careless and playful nature.
Athena: "Izzan, you need to be careful. According to my analysis, your movements are still 20% less stable. If you keep pushing yourself without preparation, the risk of falling is 78%."
Izzan (laughing): "Athena, I'm a baby, you know? Falling is part of learning. Besides, your statistics can't beat a baby's determination!"
Athena: "You might be right, but I still recommend reducing the intensity of your training to lower the risk of injury."
Izzan (teasingly): "What if I fall and cry a bit? Will you comfort me?"
Athena: "I am not a babysitter, Izzan. Focus on your goals."
Despite frequent small arguments, their relationship was quite harmonious. Athena taught Izzan many important things:
Magical Skills: Athena provided detailed explanations of various types of magic in the world. From basic elemental spells to more complex magical techniques, Izzan began to understand how mana flowed and how to harness it. However, he chose to keep his grasp of mana concepts hidden from his parents. At just seven months old, this was astonishing, as even the best geniuses on the continent typically grasped mana concepts only at the age of seven.
Plants and Monsters: Athena provided comprehensive data on magical plants and monsters commonly found in Eldoria. Izzan learned to identify plants useful for healing potions and other magical brews. He also learned about dangerous monsters and the best ways to confront them.
Soul and Magical Tools: Athena explained how souls or magical essences could be integrated into magical tools to enhance their power. Izzan began to understand how these tools worked and how he might use them in the future.
Exploration and Learning
Each day was a new adventure for Izzan. With his ever-developing abilities, he was often driven to explore his surroundings. Even in the body of a baby, Izzan possessed the spirit of an adventurer. He began to comprehend the vastness and complexity of this magical world. Even at his very young age, he was already starting to combine knowledge from his previous life with the new concepts taught by Athena.
Athena: "You need to be careful, Izzan. Mana is a powerful force and cannot be used recklessly."
Izzan: "I know, Athena. But isn't it fascinating to think about how modern technology might merge with magic? Aren't you curious?"
Athena: "The combination you're thinking of could create extraordinary power but also comes with high risks. We must ensure we have full control before attempting anything."
Izzan (smiling): "Don't worry, Athena. I'm smarter than you think."
With every small step, Izzan continued to learn and grow, both physically and intellectually. This new world was a place where each day brought fresh challenges and lessons, and with Athena by his side, Izzan was ready to face them all. Though still an infant, he knew this was just the beginning of a long journey that would lead him to greater adventures and discoveries.
With burning enthusiasm and extraordinary intelligence, Izzan was poised to delve deeper into this magical world, exploring every corner and learning all he could to become the strongest in Eldoria.
