Chereads / The ELF's epic Journey / Chapter 4 - Vemor

Chapter 4 - Vemor

(3rd person's POV)

Nador is finally five years old and all he does is sit back and drink milk! Yes! At 5 he still sucks milk from his momma!

*Slurp*

*Gulp*

*Gulp*

*Gulp!*

"Ahh~~ that's it child. Suck mummy's milk more~" Enania moans in delight and a little bit of pleasure as she ruffles his messy blonde hair with motherly love.

*Plop*

"Mum I wanna train!" Nador pulled the nipple with a bit of aggression before uttering the words that made Enania's eyes widen in surprise.

"A-Are you sure? We can leave it till your at least 9." Enania said as she strokes his blonde locks which carefully watching his expression for any sign of hesitation.

"No! I want to get stronger so I can protect mummy and big sis!" Nador said as his eyes fluttered with determination. Upon hearing his remark, Enania's eyes burst into tears as she pulls him into a tight embrace, sobbing on his shoulders.

"Mummy don't worry, Nador's always here." He said as he pats her head with tenderness. Enania's eyes couldn't help but even tear up more upon seeing the childish yet heartwarming remark from her only child.

"*Sniff* Baby." The scene soon got too emotional for the narrator as he excused himself out of the island and into the human dwelling... Particularly one of the strongest human kingdoms ever, The Lightheart Kingdom.

A kingdom spanning over hundreds of kilometers with one of the best armed forces on earth. The home of the swordmaiden, a powerhouse of the Lightheart Kingdom, Sylvia.

She was currently on a single knee prostrating before the King of the Lightheart Kingdom... Charles Lightheart.

"But your majesty-" Sylvia parts her mouth to plea only for Charles to cut in mid sentence, "Do consider Ms Sylvia... You would make a fine Dean to the new set of the Chrinsonwood Academy."

"Haah~ Could you give me some time to think?" She pleads with strain in her voice.

"I don't expect you to be hesitating on this offer Ms Sylvia. You ought to be responsive without any slight show of weakness." He then added, "This surely wasn't the way I and your mother raised you."

"I'm sorry your majesty for my previous hesitation. I accept your offer." She said with her head hung low.

"And please, call me father when we're alone. I feel weird when my blood calls me in a distant tone." Charles said with a smile, "Your dismissed now."

With a nod of appreciation, she picks herself up from the ground and walks out the throne room with her mind lost in thought.

"She's carrying so much responsibilities as the first Princess... Haah~ Wonder where she got her brute headed personality from." He said with a chuckle before turning to the side, "Isn't that right Kanar?"

A dark mist materialized from the very shadows before forming a humanoid shape. "Yes your majesty."

Back at the elven kingdom, Nador is outdoors sitting on the grass as memorizes the process and procedure of energy absorption.

As his memories of the past world still intact, this planet was also called Vemor, Earth like in structure but except it was twenty times bigger than Earth, and it's gravity was many times that of earth. It has twin moons and a single large yellow sun.

The planet is made up of 7 continents with the central being the biggest and the Eastern continent being the smallest. This 7 continents are occupied by the 7 races namely:

Demons

Dragons

Vampires

Elves (elves, Fairies, gnomes and other magical creatures.)

Dwarves

Humans.

But many mysterious beings have surfaced that are yet to be discovered.

The existence of the very energy called Mystic Energy which can be harnessed by every living creature distinct from others.

Mystic Energy is the very energy that comes from the heart of the planet itself. As a heart pumps blood, so does this planet pump mystic energy to every corner of the world.

Mystic Energy was what united the entirety of the divided races together. It can come in different forms, : Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Darkness, Time, Space, and may even come as a variation of those listed before such as: Sound, Blood, Gravity, etc.

Then there's the power ranking system that sets the weak apart from the strongest.

Beginner Rank

Advance Rank

½ Sage Rank down to 10.

Any who has reached Sage Rank 10 is considered a powerhouse, a force to be reckoned with. But that's not it, if his memories serves him right, there should be a realm higher than Sage Rank 10 and that's the Mystic realm.

Reaching this, the normal ranking system no more applies to you as you've graduated from being in a rank to becoming an entire Realm. Gap between Sage Rank 10 and the Mystic realm is like heavens and earth.

After recalling the little information of this very crazy world, Nador's eyes fluttered open.

"So this is it?" He wondered as he stared at the faint blue gush of wind floating on his right palm.

He thought it'll be at least a little difficult as his mother dispite being Sage Rank 10 was seemingly stuck there... But here he was, freely controlling the flow of Mystic Energy into his entire body then directly to his palm...

But the use of Mystic Energy is dived into two parts, for the Mages and for the Knights. Mages have larger Energy pools than Knights but knights are a dozen times physically stronger than Mages... Why? Before they begin their journey into creation of an Energy core they use the Mystic energy to refine their physical condition while undergoing rigorous training for years. And that years of gap is enough for Mages to jump and extend the gap between them so they dropped the thought of absorbing any more energy and focus more on their physical state.

But unfortunately for them, Nador as an Elf has the luxury of years.

He got up and began doing pushups. The first five was easy at first, but the next five became a bit difficult, and then the next five became the very word called punishment.

"17...." His hands became shaky as his voice cracked under the unknown pressure he felt.

"....18" Eyes bulging as he pushed himself pass his limit. Just two more! You can do it!!

"19....20" He collapsed on the grass, breathing in the minty scent while trying to regain his bearings. Shortly after he is seen sitting on a lotus position with his eyes closed and his breathing slow and steady.

The sound of the chirping birds soon fade away as the world soon came to a still. The gentle brush of the wind smoothly fluttered the grass from left to right as the trees leaves raked with joy.

It appeared as if the wind was calling out to him... No, the very skies itself.

His body emitted a faint blue light as the intensity of the wind raged forth, picking him a few inches off the ground and floating in that lotus position with a calm demeanour.

*Swoosh!*

The intensity grew much more as the air pressure thicken, revealing the tiny specks of impurities floating in the air. His body absorbed that air particles while ignoring those impurities attached to the air particles that rapidly entered his body.

*BOOM!*

A loud explosion of wind occurred from his unwavering position.

[Ding~!]

[Congratulations on completion of the quest: Energy for two?]

[Rewards: Storm's eye (Lv1), title (Prodigy)]

Unaware of his surroundings, he continuously absorbed the air particles till he felt he was about to burst apart.

He slowly descended to the ground before he snapped back to reality and noticed the sun setting.

"Oh shit! Enania's gonna kill me!" Not something you'd expect to hear out of a 5 year old kid.
