[14: Your father also tells you that these goblins are strange, and that there must be some great secret behind these attacks. You overhear conversations in which he mentions that the situation may soon require a decisive offensive. This fuels your desire to participate].
[15 years: Your swordsmanship grows stronger, and your master-at-arms's attitude towards you becomes increasingly respectful. You express the wish to fight on the front line, saying "They're just goblins, I'm not afraid of anything". However, your father remains adamant: he formally forbids you to engage in conflict, insisting that your place is still at the manor, protecting your mother and sister Oriana. You reluctantly obey, but the urge to prove your worth grows within you].
[16: You learn that your father is preparing an expedition to repel a group of goblins who have crossed the borders. Refusing to remain passive, you make a bold decision: you slip in among the soldiers, concealed under a hood and rudimentary armor. You've brought your bow and sword with you. You're very nervous, but thanks to your soldier-like build, you blend in easily.
[Age 16 (continued): When the battle broke out, you experienced the horror of combat for the first time. Blood flowed everywhere nearby, from goblins to your father's soldiers. You're scared, very scared. You finally understand why your father had headaches and was in a bad mood when facing those goblins: it's because they were extremely ferocious! Even in a 1vs1 situation, the slightest negligence on the part of a soldier could cause his death! But you have no choice but to fight, because unlike your new comrades, these goblins didn't ignore you. Despite your lack of experience, your training has paid off and you manage to kill several goblins with difficulty. Eventually, however, your cloak was torn and your identity revealed - after all, your face was well known among the soldiers. One of them ends up leaving to alert your father after recognizing you].
[Age 16 (continued): But your father was too busy leading soldiers and fighting goblins to hear the news. So only a few dozen soldiers in the vicinity heard the news. They wanted to protect you, until he realized it wasn't necessary. Indeed, as time went by, you felt more and more at ease in battle, and you were able to fully demonstrate your skills as an archer and swordsman that you've trained hard and diligently for several years, but above all you had finally found a field in which to deploy your exceptional strength. 2 hours later, the battle ended, and over 1,500 goblins died, including some 30 of your own! Most of the soldiers had killed no more than 5 goblins! And a young man of only 15 had achieved far more military merit than they had, even though they had already been fighting goblins for several years! Later, although your father was furious at having discovered your presence, the soldiers murmured among themselves, impressed by your ferocity. You earned the respect of the troops, who began to idolize you as a future god of war].
[17: Training is no longer a routine for you, but a quest for perfection. You spend hours honing your swordplay and close-combat skills. Your father's soldiers sometimes ask you for advice or for training duels, further enhancing your reputation among them. Despite your father's reluctance, and even more so your mother's, you continue to fight the goblins. During skirmishes, you became a key asset, known for your exceptional strength and ability to inspire soldiers into battle. Everyone wanted to fight by your side, as some began to spread the word that the death rate was much lower by your side, and it was true!]
[18: You fight not only in your own barony, but also in the territories of your neighbors. These actions earned you a reputation that now extends far beyond your territory. People are beginning to talk about you as a budding "god of war". During a major offensive against the goblins, you lead a small detachment to a decisive victory. Your courage, bold strategy and brute force galvanize the troops. Even your father's noble allies recognize your talent, albeit with a touch of jealousy. At the same time, an important event takes place: your parents test your talent. But they're disappointed with the result, because you don't possess the talent].
"They only tested him at 18?" murmured Adam, still puzzled.
"Maybe even if it can be tested before then, it can only be awakened at 18?"
"Otherwise I could really be in a different temporality?"
"Or is it just that my parents are too poor not to have been able to arrange a ceremony beforehand?"
The simulator ignored Adam's questions, and continued to scroll through the text.
[19: Your reputation as a warrior is spreading even further. Your father's soldiers begin to treat you with a respect bordering on devotion. During training, you no longer simply supervise: you're in the thick of the action, teaching recruits the fighting techniques you've perfected].
[19 years (continued): Of course this has no better instructional effect than when instructors do it, because your understanding is ordinary and you're not particularly more pedagogical than other people. But thanks to your extraordinary strength accompanied by decent sword-handling skills, you firmly imbue these soldiers with the concept of "invincibility". The veterans are also firmly convinced by you, and see you as a figure worthy of a God of War: strong and invincible].
