Chapter 7 - I am Lil too OP

After walking for almost 2 hours kael ,reached at the exit of the tunnel

As Kael emerged from the tunnel and found himself standing in a hazy, dreamlike scene.

Before him, he saw his mother , Sephina, cradling a small baby in her arms. His heart skipped as he recognized the baby

—it was Kael the body I am in. tiny and fragile, with a tuft of white hair and vivid green eyes.

A sense of awe and disbelief washed over him as he watched this vision of his mother holding him with tenderness and love.

Beside her stood another woman, younger in appearance yet radiating a similar strength and grace.

She bore the same striking features as Sephina, and Kael couldn't help but wonder if she was his Aunt or Seraphina sister.

He watched, silent and captivated, as the two women conversed, their voices soft yet heavy with emotion.

"I don't want to be away from him, Mother," Sephina murmured, clutching the infant Kael closer.

Her eyes glistened with fierce determination, yet Kael could see the underlying pain in her gaze.

'Mother?, she is my grandmother ' Kael

thought

The older woman's face softened with understanding.

"Sephina, I know you love him. But he is half dragon, half human. People will talk; they will see him as an outsider."

She paused, placing a gentle hand on Sephina's shoulder.

"I know you'll protect him with everything you have. But… what about the day you cannot be by his side? People will resent a queen who bore a human child. They'll see him as a weakness, a threat. Some may try to harm him, or worse."

Kael's chest tightened as he listened to the woman's words.

The gravity of this boy Kael , origins weighed heavily, and he could sense Sephina's silent struggle.

Just as he tried to take a step closer, the scene around him began to blur and shift, the figures fading as the vision dissolved into darkness.

-----

A new vision emerged before Kael.

And he found himself watching a younger version of himself—about nine years old—running in a field under the midday sun.

Sweat beaded on the boy's brow as he panted, pushing himself forward despite his obvious exhaustion.

Beside him, an old man stood, watching Kael's every movement with a stern yet approving gaze.

"One more round, Kael!" the man called out, his voice firm yet encouraging.

Kael's younger self clenched his fists, summoning the last of his energy, and continued to push forward, his breaths growing heavier with each step.

Finally, he completed the round, doubling over to catch his breath.

The old man approached him with a rare smile, clapping a hand on Kael's shoulder.

"Well done, Kael," he said, pride evident in his tone.

"At this rate, you're going to win gold in Competition. But don't get too comfortable," he added, his smile turning into a grin.

"Tomorrow, we start sparring."

Just as young Kael looked up, determination flashing in his eyes, the scene began to blur.

Kael felt the memory slipping away as the vision shifted once more.

A new vision unfolded

Revealing a grand ceremony hall filled with nobles and officials.

The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and anticipation as the announcer took the stage, his voice booming across the room.

"In second place, Valida Kingsley!" the announcer called out, and a girl confidently approached the podium.

Kael's eyes widened.

"Valida Kingsley?The future war queen?"

He remembered reading about her—an immensely powerful character known for her unmatched skills, rivaling even the protagonist in the novel.

Then, the announcer's voice cut through his thoughts. "And in first place... Kael, the famous masked prodigy!"

Kael watched as his younger self—around eleven years old—stepped up to the podium, his face obscured by a mask.

First place? Kael's mind raced as he took in the sight.

He glanced around and noticed the large banner above the stage, proudly displaying the words,

"Celestial Duel Tournament"

No way, he thought, shocked.

This body I'm in... took first place in the world-level competition for children under eleven?

He felt a mix of disbelief and awe. This competition was legendary, attracting prodigies from all over the world.

Even the protagonist got 7th position in it

For his younger self to have won it—he realized just how overpowered his new body truly was.

This Kael...

He's no mere extra. He's something far more extraordinary.

"This makes me Lil too op" kael muttered, while laughing in disbelief
