Initiation

At the age of 9, I made sure to gather all the children's living in the same area as me and made myself known as their big brother. I made it clear that I am someone who will help them whenever they are facing any trouble so that I would earn their future loyalty. I'll make them my first followers in this world whose main purpose is to remain a child to be molded by me while loyal enough to only serve me. Not only did I recruit bullied kids, I also recruited bullies and create my own group. I lured them with the idea that I can change their world and make them rise in status.

At the age of 10, I figured that I should show the folks in my town my ingenuity and what better way to show that by creating an electric motor. Although a battery is unavailable for now, but battery can be created if he can just differentiate aluminum and copper in this world. Not only does he know how to create a battery and an electric motor, he believes that he can even recreate a phone in this world.

"Leo, what are you doing alone in this room again?! How many times do I have to tell you that you are not allowed in this room? Hmm?" Suddenly a voice sounded outside the room, this woman was his mother and the room Leo is in, is his father's workshop. It is understandable that a mother would worry that a child can't help around the workshop because the child might play with dangerous tools.

"Mother, Trust me, I'm genuinely curious about the use of these tools and that I don't want to play with them."Leo stood his ground as backing down now would only make his mother lock the room so that he can't enter. Better tell her the purpose rather than allow her to obstruct my future plans.

"What am I gonna do with you child? "His mother sighed at Leo's curiosity.

"Just let me do it mom, You always said I'm mature for my age right? "Leo look at his mom with his legendary puppy eyes

"OK, I'll allow you to stay here... but only if you are with me or your dad okay? " Leo's mother gave up because she knew from childhood that Leo had always been determined.

"Thanks mom"Leo said before proceeding to hug his mom out of reflex.

Take note, Leo is not some psychopath who only knew how to manipulate people so him being affected with emotions is not out of the ordinary.

Lillian's s POV

It had been 10 years now since my second son, Leo, was born and unlike his older brother, he is respectful and mature. Even his older brother follows Leo. Not only is he mature and respectful, he is also very intelligent. He didn't cry when he wants to pee or hungry, he just displays a high level of understanding. Sometimes I worry about my child since he doesn't play with kids his age. And when Leo reached 9 years old, he suddenly became very active and sociable almost like a switch have been flipped. Not only is my child now sociable, he also took the step to be considered as everyone's big brother in this area. Sometimes he just comes home with injuries and that other parents would visit me saying that my child is violent. When I ask children's in the area what Leo is doing, they just praised Leo. My son, Leo also always visits his fathers workshop and he also displays a degree of understanding of how to use them too. I don't know how intelligent he is but sometimes I feel that he is manipulating me. Sometimes when I ask him to clean his room, all of the sudden I just realized I did it myself.

So when Leo hugs me and thanked me, It made me cry that I even thinked of it. Leo is my child and I loved him, How could I call myself his mother if I doubt him. So I hugged Leo back and whispered to his ears, "Love you too son".
