The King and Queen smiled. "My son for you want to live in this world for eternity that am not sure since we are only humans, but to live in peace work had to be the most powerful person in this world.". Suddenly the King Said, "Robin avoid playing physical games with Anna since your body is stronger than the average human. When you're back we will start your training.". After talking for while with his parents, they went went away as Robin had to prepare for a visit to the duke's house since he was invited by Anna. The head butler informed that the carriage was ready.
It didn't take long for Robin to prepare and he was out of the castle. This was his first time coming out of the castle since he was born he had always concentrated on gaining more knowledge about the world he appeared in. He entered the carriage, his journey began to Duke house he noticed most building built in old european architecture. As the carriage moved through the street various people would bow from time to time since they recognized it was a royal carriage.
The Duke's house was almost at the end of the capital which was in a very secluded location surrounded by trees. One thing Robin realized the living conditions of the people was becoming worse as they moved further away from the as expected and started seeing farming wearing almost animal skin as there clothes, barefooted and he could see some women washing children in a near by river. To most people this seemed normal since science was literally non-existent in a magical world.
He sighed and said to himself, "I can't let this people live like this.". After a while the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Duke's house, The maids anticipated his arrival and Ann the daughter of the Duke was at the gate. Robin asked, "Can you capture the geographical location of the area?". Malsa answered, "Yes Master, I have analyzed the whole geographical location which we have passed through", An image suddenly appeared in Robin mind and realized almost have of his mana was drained. Malsa continued, "Am unable to expand the range since more soul energy is required." .Suddenly a soldier shouted, "Prince Robin Ashton has arrived.". The door of the carriage was opened by the soldiers who accompanied and he walked out of it. Ann rushed towards him and shook hold his hand and said, "Robin I have something to show you." and she suddenly dragged him inside the mansion.
The Duke watched from a window inside his office and smiled. Ann who was still dragging Robin, they entered into the mansion and she took Robin to the dining room and she said,"I have been looking for the best sweets in the Kingdom and I wanted to share with someone.". Robin's smiled and alot of bowls filled with brown stones which looked like candles back on earth. Robin said with a playful smile, "Not bad, let's have some more and see which is the sweetest.". As they ate , Robin had told Malsi to analyse the content which he found out it was just hardened honey. Ann was a very cheerful child and most of time she spoke while Robin would ask questions from time to time.
Suddenly an explosions which shook the whole mansion, the smell of smoke could be sniffed all over the castle and Anna said, "Dad is always doing his crazy experiments.". After a while the whole mansion started shaking more than usual .Malsa said, "Unknown energy has been detected, from my analysis it seems beneficial to Master.". Robin didn't understand what Malsa meant by saying the power could be beneficial to him. He decided to take his first risk in this world and runned towards the room, also Ann was following him closely. As he was running closer towards the room a system panel appeared in front of Robin:
—
PROCESSING NEW ENERGY: LIFE MANA

Robin tried to calling to Malsa but no response. He reached to the doors of the room and forced his way into the room. He found the duke had fainted, Anna shouted suddenly, "Father!". Everyone started running towards the side that Ann had shouted. As the servants hurried the Duke away, Robin stood frozen for a moment, the chaotic scene buzzing in his ears. Ann clung to his arm, her eyes wide with fear. "Father! Please, he'll be alright, won't he?"
Robin nodded, but uncertainty crept into his heart. He turned to Malsa, hoping for guidance, but the AI was silent, its presence flickering in and out like a dying light.
The commotion settled into a tense quiet, and after what felt like an eternity, the Duke was finally carried into his chambers. Robin and Ann were left in the hallway, the heavy oak doors closing behind the guards and servants.
"I'm sorry, Robin," Ann said, her voice trembling. "I didn't mean for you to see that."
"It's okay," Robin replied, unsure of what else to say. "Is your father going to be alright?"
"I—I hope so," she stammered, wiping her eyes. "He was trying to find a cure for my mother's illness."
Robin felt a knot tighten in his stomach. "What illness?"
As Ann was explaining the illness was called "Black lungs" and had the same symptoms as pneumonia as back on earth. As Ann was explaining here mother's illness a prompt appeared in front of Robin.

Ann looking at robin she thought he was overwhelmed of what had happened so she decided to be silent. Robin looked at her and placed his hand on her hand and said, "everything is going to be fine.". They starting moved towards the Duke room where he was, Robin started talking to Malsa, "Hi Malsa, what happened.". Malsa answered, "Master have been able to upgrade my senses and now i can show your attributes.".

As Robin studied the system panel displayed before him, he turned to Malsa and asked, "What's the difference between Body Level, Mana Level, Level, and Energy?"
Malsa explained, "Master, I've included Body Level and Mana Level to help you understand the measurement of your power in this world. These levels reflect your physical and magical strength, respectively, and they can be directly enhanced by increasing your Energy level. This, in turn, will raise your overall Level. Currently, I can sense only twelve levels, which are defined by the type of energy you possess. For now, your energy is Life Energy, which corresponds to the current levels as follows [Energy Type/ Level / Exp]. Other energy types may have more or fewer levels, depending on their power."
Robin and Ann finally reached the door to the Duke's chamber. Inside, beside the Duke's bed, another lay shrouded by a delicate veil of netting—it was the Duke's wife, also bedridden. Robin glanced at Ann, whose face revealed a deep sadness and worry as she took in the sight of both her parents lying frail and unwell.
Suddenly, Malsa spoke in his mind, "Master, I can detect another energy in the room."
