After done reading every book, Pluto started to think about his future plan.
'Even after thinking for such a long time, only one thing comes to mind… I need to become stronger and then apply for the army.'
After reading some books, he found out that there is this program that happens at every orphan or to every child, in which they found out whether the child has the potential to become a mage. If they have, they are recruited in the army as Sorcerer or a Mage.
'If I can store enough mana or increase my mana pool before the Army Selection Program then I can get into to army more easily. To be honest, I would have to do nothing and they will take me.'
Looking through the window one could see an organ sky, creating beautiful scenery. As darkness slowly engulfing the world in its clutches.
'It's almost night. I should start my training tomorrow.'
Pluto stands and walks out of the room that he started to call a Library. It hasn't had any name to it, just a room.
Outside, in the hall, children were sitting on the table as the nuns were distributing food. He went and sat on one of the seats. Looking at the food, well, calling it food would not be the right term. But at least it was something that would not let you sleep empty stomach.
'Better than nothing, huh. Should do some job, if I can get some. At least, I can lower the burden of this church since they took me in.'
Taking a bite of the bread that was hard enough that you have to use extra energy to eat it. Pluto started to eat since he hasn't had much trouble eating it. He could eat raw meat if that was presented in front of him, let alone this bread.
After done eating, he went into the room or the place where most of the children sleep. Children in the church don't get a bed but some mattresses that are laid on the floor.
'Maybe because it creates more space and more people can sleep?'
Getting into his bed? Pluto went into his dreamland.

Warrior Era, 3005. A certain residential area.
It was a day just like every other day, normal. Nothing new with the same constant struggle of people for a better life. With mild weather and the sound of bird's melody.
In a certain household, a battle was happening.
SFX: Sound of different things falling
"Stop it! what are you guys doing?!" said a slight old man with wrinkles on his face. He had a normal build with short black hair. In his arms was a woman that looked of the same age as that of the man. She had currant colored eyes and slightly white hair but her charm was still there. One could see blood dripping from her face to the ground.
They were standing in a leaving hall that has become a mess. Most of the things have fallen on the grounds as one could see broken pieces of glass on the ground as if a tornado has passed from here, destroying everything.
In front of them were three people, men. Each had a powerful build with enough pressure releasing from their bodies to kill a normal human with just their presence. The one in the center was giving the strongest pressure. He was wearing a lab coat as his long blue hair was reaching up to his hips. He had long squinted eyes with a gentle smile on his face.
"I have told you, have I not? Your child has a special body; even without any spiritual energy, he can grow as strong as an Advance Warrior at a fragile age of 5! If that is not a miracle then what is it?" he opens his hand as if to hug the whole world, "He is a messiah send to us from God! He wants us to understand that even without any special power, one can still achieve Supreme. All I ask it of you to give your child to us. He will join the Superhuman Research Department. With his DNA and genes, humanity can achieve another breakthrough and evolve to become a higher being!" he looked at them as smile vanished from his face and the surrounding air started to stagnate, "But you people don't understand. He is a child? We will ruin his future and use him as a lab rat? Those are some pesky excuses! What is more honored than to help in the research for the betterment of humanity? So I ask of you again, are you giving up your child or not?"
Grimace was evident on the couple face but determination took over it. "Never will we give our child to monsters like you! He is not some research material; he is our child! A living being!" said the woman, shouting.
The old man gritted his teeth. Both he and his wife were Saint-class Warrior while the men before them, even the weakest was King-class and the strongest being the person with a lab coat, Half-Step Low God! Even if they gave their all, the man was sure that they will die let alone escaping from here.
Seeing as they have no other choice he gnashed his teeth 'Don't come home, Alex. And forgive your parents as it seems we won't be able to see you grow…' he looked at her wife and their eyes meet. Both could see will in each other eyes. Will to fight till death!
"If that is the case then you both will have to die. Don't worry as we will take care of your child!" said the man in the coat as the other two-man launches themselves towards them.

"STOP!" Pluto jerked from his bed and shouted. His whole body was sweating, soaking him completely. He has breathing heavily as if he has run a marathon of 20 miles without any break. Other children who, with his sudden shout woke up and confusedly were looking towards him. Some smaller children though that he wet his pants and started to laugh and making fun of him.
Pluto ignored everything around him as he gritted his teeth.
'Fu*k, Fu*k! To think I would have this sh*ty dream. I thought I had already forgotten about it.'
Taking a deep breath, he answers the nun that has a worried expression on her face. "Forgive me, sister, I just had a nightmare." He said with a weak smile.
'I want to take a hot bath…'
The nun smiled gently while hugging him, "It's alright now child. Lord is with us all. Nothing bad will happened to us."
'Lord, huh. Isn't the 'Lords' fault that I was born special.'
Pluto sighed and went out of the room to take a bath. After taking a bath, he went back to eat breakfast. It was boiled vegetables. After eating them, he went towards the market. He wanted to do some job until he joined the army.
First, he went to a clothes shop. This time he was not kicked as he looked at least, somewhat, decent enough. After reading through books and asking the nun, he finally found out that the currency they used was called Mark. (A/N: For reference, take one Mark as one Dollar.)
'The old man scammed me hard. Wish he slips from the banana peel and dies.'
He brought a black half sleeves shirt with black shorts, reaching up to his knees. He also brought a pair of black joggers. Since the thing that could not even be called slippers were damaged to the point where it was unwearable. He got everything within 100 Mark. He wanted to spit on the old man for scamming him for the money that he spent his blood earning.
'I got kicked and spitted blood!'
Changing the clothes, he finally started to look like his previous self. Though he was not 'Ultra Handsome'. He was still above average.
After leaving the shop, he randomly started to walk around the Capital.
'Let's see if they have posted some random Job Offer'
He was moving randomly looking at different shops and seeing if they have posted a Job Offer outside of their shops. It was quite normal from the world from where he came from. Though most people posted on the internet. But since this world didn't have one, they could only post it outside of their shops or in the newspaper.
Looking at his side, he saw a book store.
'Should I write a book about War Strategies? I wonder if they will make me a strategic general.'
As he was walking, he came across the same alley that he had woken up yesterday. He looked it for some time and was about to leave when his sight fell upon a girl standing on the other side of the alley. It was a little girl, slightly on a petite side. She had blonde hair and her eyes were a cold blue. She had a fairy-like face, which looks ill when coupled with her pale complexion.
Looking at her, he couldn't help but compare her to him since he also had a very pale complexion. If not that vampire didn't exist in this world, People would have definitely considered him one.
But for some reason, looking at the girl he had this strange emotion in his heart. His instinct that he has forged through multiple battlefields were telling him: This girl is not normal.
Suddenly a feral grin formed on his face as he started to walk towards the girl.
The girl was curiously looking at him. One could see intelligence in those eyes that passed her age. She saw as the boy in front of her started to show a psychopathic grin as he started to walk towards her. Her heart was beating as if on a bullet train.
'Why the fu*k is this brat is coming towards me? Don't tell! A molester?! A pedophile?! Damn you, Being X. It's all your fault… what should it do? Should I run? But seeing as my body is weaker than this brat, 90% chances are that this brat would catch up to me. Should I scream? I can gain other people's attention that way. Yes! That's perfect.'
Making a plan in her mind, the girl saw as the boy reached in front of her. The boy silently kept looking at her while grinning.
'WTF man! You look hella sus', at least speak something.'
Pluto kept looking at the girl that he presumes was only one year younger than him. He could see intellect in those eyes as they gazed upon him.
'Beautiful! Such beautiful eyes, filled with nothing but conviction and determination. What kind of life did this girl live to have such determination at such a young age?'
After an awkward silence that persisted for a minute and two as both of them kept staring at each other, Pluto spoke. "Noah Pelagon."
He has changed his name as he didn't want to have the same name as in his previous life. Also, it helped him easily merging with the people of this world.
The girl looked towards him, confused.
'Is he giving me his name? Should I reply with courtesy?'
After some time, the girl replied, though confused. "Tanya Degurechaff."
Pluto or Noah looked at her, Tanya, and smiles. "It is nice meeting you Tanya-chan. Do you want to have lunch with this Onii-chan?"
Noah asked with pure intentions but the thing that he didn't take into fact was that, right now, he was standing in a back alley with a little girl and asking her for a date. No matter at which angle one looks at it, they will find something wrong. With the fact that he was just grinning like a madman.
Tanya who heard him had her brain working in a fast bullet.
'Asking me out? He is sus' hella sus'! I need to scream. Does this guy think that since I am trap in a child's body he can have his way with me? Look at your age brat and you have already become a degenerate person! Where is your mother? God, morals are falling with each passing day.'
Just as Tanya was about to scream, Noah pats her head and blocks her mouth. Leaning close to her face, he grins. "I know what you are thinking, little Tanya. It's better if you don't do that. What do you think is faster? My hand or the people? I am sure before anyone comes here, I can break your small and petit neck."
Tanya wide-eyed looked at him as sweat was being released from her head.
'Fu*k my luck. To meet a psychopath of all people.'
Reluctantly she nodded.
Noah saw her nodding and smiled. Leaving her face, he started to walk outside the alley. Reaching the end, he looked back at Tanya that hasn't moved from her place. "Come, what are you doing standing like an idiot."
Tanya looked at him for some time and then followed after him.
'I don't think he will do anything with people around.'
Though she was not wrong the fact was that he never wanted to do anything to her from the start.
