1 New world

I'm a 19-year-old shut-in who had his important things in life were all stolen.

I quitted school for about four years.

My mother died because of heart disease while my father abandoned me.

I was born for nothing, good-for-nothing.

After spending my 19 years of living my life, I did nothing other than browsing data.

Unbalanced diet, lack of sun exposure and I became a malnourished person.

It was not me who decided to go to the wrong path but the society forced me to.

Being bullied by my classmates, teachers pretended like nothing happened, parents won't respond to my reply or they don't believe in me back then.

Ever since I was a kid, I was treated harshly.

Talentless, ugly, worthless and useless.

I still don't know why my uncle let a pathetic man like me to stay at his house even though I hadn't repaid him at least once.

I didn't even care what happened to my parents nor relatives and I didn't told uncle to help me nor letting me stay at his place.

while I was playing a video game, I was facing at the monitor with my clouded eyes. wondering if I really enjoyed playing the game.

I decided to leave this house without letting anyone here know. living here is bad but also a bother to them.

Luckily, it's midnight now, everyone must be asleep.

While I was about to go out of this house, I was thinking where should I go. Well, as long as I can get out without leaving traces that's all that matters.

The gate is locked so I climbed off the wall, its height is two and half meter wall and I wonder if I can climb it.

My body is already weakened and I cannot climb even if it's just a short wall.

I did my best to go away and I managed to climb. But unfortunately, I lost my balance and fell to the other side of the wall.

The other side of the wall is a road and it would be my chance to go away.

I don't care about curfew.

Succeeded to go out but my knees hurt. My eyesight is so foggy so I can't see clearly. I also felt or heard something ringing into my ears and my heart palpitates.

Never mind, I should start to walk away.

…..

I managed to walk away with an exhausted body like I wanted to lie down and take some rest.

Pedestrian lane, I almost forgot, I have to cross the road.

The signal light is green so it must be fine for me to walk.

When I attempted to walk and now in the middle of the road, there were flashes. I took a glance at the traffic light then i found out that the light was red.

The greenlight was just my imagination.

Along with the flashes, I heard a truck horn.

When I glanced at the direction where the truck was, I realized that I was about to get hit by a truck.

Looks like my life is will be over soon. Well, I had no motivations to live either so it's fine.

When the time passes, I got hit by a truck and I noticed that I didn't feel pain. I guess I died at the moment I got hit.

After the incident happened, everything went white and later on, I saw myself lying down in a weird place.

I thought I was dead.

I stood up and noticed that my body feels light and this place feels relaxing. There's no way that my body is alright.

After having my doubts, I suddenly jumped into conclusions that I'm already dead and now I'm thinking that I was dreaming.

There's no one here but there's a door in front of me.

A white door that had a weird design like it was a holy door.

If I will open that, there's must be a chance that I will be back to life. I guess my real body is now in the morgue.

I'm already tired of living my boring life so it would be better to lie down here.

Thinking that I'm here all by myself made me sense that something's suspicious but I don't really care if there's something suspicious.

As long as I'm out of living my cursed life, I'm alright.

Not to mention, all I did here was lying.

While I was lying, I was thinking of what will my relatives responds if they found out that I'm dead and of course, no one in my family would feel bad for me.

Remembering what happened to my whole life and ended up miserably made my me lost my feelings.

I endured my pain for many years, depressed and everyone stole everything from me while I was already a good at nothing.

....

"Your life ended up miserably, that was sad"

I heard a woman's voice and I didn't notice that she's here.

I took a glance at her and I began to stand up.

A beautiful lady in front of me. she was wearing a white dress with her blond hair. She's like a goddess.

"how beautiful"

"a human who recently died fell in love with a goddess at first sight. What should I do?"

"goddess?"

Aside from her looks, her presence made me confirm that she's a goddess.

"yes, I'm Heartia, a goddess"

"then, why am I here?"

"I heard from the other gods and goddesses that there's someone who was born to suffer and his life ended up sadly. So, we decided to help you by having a new and a happy life"

She introduced herself yet I haven't introduced myself. there's no need, I think she already knew me after all.

[come to think of it, she said that they wanted to help by starting a new life, so in other words, reincarnation]

"You mean that I will be reincarnated."

"exactly, but in another world"

Another world huh, sounds interesting.

"you will be reincarnated with one powerful skill or ability and you're the one to decide what kind of ability is it"

Ability? Does that mean that I will be reincarnated into a vast magical world?

If I were the one to decide what ability to have before reincarnating. So, immortality would be great but I will suffer for too long.

I was thinking what kind of ability should I have.

Think, think, think.

...

I remembered that everything of me is stolen of my past life.

Stolen huh.

After that, I've decided to have the ability "steal" and the goddess slightly nodded then said something.

"that's a good choice and I will grant you the ability 'steal' for your reincarnation. I will also grant you Limitless stamina and mana as a bonus.

Live and start a new life"

My vision went dim and later on, it returned back to normal like I was closing my eyes in just a few seconds.

"Dear, Our baby. It's a boy"

A silver haired lady and a black-haired man expressing their happiness in front of me. describing their images, both of them are around 20-30.

After expressing their happiness, they kissed.

"By the way, we haven't still given him a name yet."

"Alright, you're name from now on is Magna Nacau"

Both of them are smiling when they gave me a name and after that, they celebrated for my existence in this world. I want to celebrate too but I have a body of a baby, too bad.

From what I heard, my parents are quite a great person. They're both having such a high value of salary.

Mom is a teacher of a magic academy and my father is the owner of a shipment company.

While my parents are on a temporary leave for my existence this day, dad told the people beside him to take care of me if they'll return back to work.

I was surprised, a human having cat ears and a cat tails or in other words, a demi-human. They're wearing a maid outfit so that means they are servants.

A three-year-old girl who had the same hair color of my mom. she must be my older sister.

She keeps watching me like she's thinking that "is he my brother" or something like that.

Servants complimenting me even though I had a mind of an adult. Well, they can't tell that I'm a reincarnated person.

A human servant named Hiara, a young maid who was about to say something to mom.

"Magna's magic affinity is unknown, madam. You been praying that your child would be blessed if he exists in this world

I don't even sense mana within him. He is different from other newborns. I also noticed from the moment he was born he didn't cry."

"it's true that he's strange from the first look but he's my son, so there's no need to worry about"

Nice one, goddess, a thief is something that hides its own statistic.

Heartia said that I will be reincarnated with ability "steal" with limitless stamina and mana as a bonus. But the servant attempted to take a peek on my status and suddenly jump into conclusion then claimed that I am powerless.

I need to steal that ability to peek on someone's status.

"If he reaches 5 I will hire a swordsman to train him"

The one who said that was my father, Cian Nacau. he trained swordsmanship since he was young back then, but now, he ended up as an owner of shipment company.

I got reincarnated into another world with a new family but that doesn't mean that I will trust them.

I'm still scared to make this happen again.

After worrying too much, I remembered that the goddess said that I will have a good life and she said that in a lowered voice.

I guess I have to trust them from now on, they're my family.

And so on, I started to live a happy life in a vast magical world.

5 years later.

I've started to steal some thing such as a maid's underwear and a small amount of money.

My father is busy for everyday shipment clients and same goes to mom being a teacher from a magic academy.

He said that he had hired a swordsman to train me and he will arrive next week. I'm scared.

I haven't made friends to play with my neighbor's child outside the fields. Interacting with them is insignificant so there's no need to.

My body isn't at the same requirements to go to the forest.

Dad ordered the servants to serve and keep an eye on me. which means going to the forest is difficult.

Hiara, aged 17, whose good at healing magic tried to scare me that "there are monsters in the forest, they will eat you" something like that won't work on me.

Her body has started to shape and her chest is getting bigger for a teenager like her. as I remembered, she was so tiny back then when I first met her.

I want to hug her so bad.

I was surprised that I managed to stay at home for five years doing nothing other than stealing something.

Staying in the house is getting boring but stealing is fun for me. I missed playing my computer and my RPG game accounts.

I hope I can steal a laptop in my previous world and play here and I almost forgot that it needs an internet connection to play so it's useless.

I had the ability to steal anything like a magnet even in the long distance but there are things that I haven't known in this world so I will start to steal some belongings without abilities.

Stealing Hiara's panties, stealing coins, stealing few of my father's energy so I can go to forest slowly.

I'm getting bored, I must go to the forest to test my power and it would be better if I can hunt for meat.

My older sister, Sistina Nacau. she was so cocky when she mastered one magic spell, [Fire Ball]. The weakest magic spell.

No one here ever known that I've casted magic even once since I always stayed at my room and sometimes I was watching through the window observing my sister practicing to cast with a low tier magic and servants harvesting fruits.

I made my own pillow with full of undies inside. I don't want to do this but stealing undies is something you would do without leaving a single trace of evidence.

I didn't feel like I was a pervert or making a perverted face when I try to steal something like this. Stealing undies is just the only Idea as a practice for me to steal. I also planned to return these backs to the place where it belongs if my body is fully developed.

Looks like it's time for me to have a walk outside of my room.

The servants must be busy right now, I haven't seen them. Hiara is washing the clothes while the others are doing their work like harvesting or taking care of pets.

Hiara had an ability to track someone. I also noticed when I was an infant, she put a magic spell on me so that she can find me in case of emergency.

She was trained how to hold a sword or to be specific, she's a maid with a little versatility. Healing magic, swordsmanship and she's good at cooking.

I even stole few of my father's stamina and energy early in the morning. Last night, there's something I heard in my parents' room, what I heard is moaning.

This is a Mansion; this place may be big but I can hear their moaning while I'm at the other end of the hallway.

Dad must be tired at that time while he's having a work on the next day. I ended up giving him trouble.

Now's it's time for me to think to get away from that maid.

"Profile "

There something written in front of me. I can't understand what languages are these but I can read. Reincarnation is weird but not bad.

Hmm let's see what written in here.

It was something that shows your status. It was like I'm playing a game. My name, height, stamina, mana and other statistics were displayed there.

I swiped down to check my abilities. I found out that there are few skills that I haven't tried such as "smoke bomb" and "conceal" then the rests are passive skills.

"Conceal"

Nothing happened but something felt strange.

I went out of the mansion and saw my older sister practicing water magic. I haven't heard my footstep and everyone are just doing their work.

I was also wondering why I can cast magic without a chant and I don't remember that I mastered this kind of magic.

Now's not the time for me to think about that. The most important Is I'm finally free to go to the forest alone. then after that, I finally went away of the mansion.

Come to think of it, I heard that there are monsters in the forest that adventurers go hunt them for quest.

This is interesting.

Now then I must go.

What I wore is just a decent shirt and shorts. No sword, staff nor wand held in my hands. I'm just a kid who's wearing a house attire with a knife on my waist.

I was wondering if my invisibility would go off right now but as I remembered that I read my invisibility skill had no time duration and it depends on me if I deactivate it.

"map"

There's a map appeared in front of me. there is also an indicator of where am I. if I were in my previous life it was like I'm opening a location app in my phone.

The location of the forest is on the western part of the fields.

20 Km away, it takes an hour for an ordinary people to go there walking and half an hour when riding a horse.

In that case, it's time to use this skill.

"Accelerate Advanced"

A skill that reduces the stamina cost and doubles your speed. However, this skill I advanced version of accelerate. my speed is now at 4 times faster than normal sprinting or 2x faster than accelerate. Now I'm running in 80 kmph.

I arrived at the forest in around 5 minutes.

Teleportation would be better than sprinting and I wonder if there are people who can use a skill like that. I heard that teleportation magic and chant less magic is a myth. This world is just like an RPG game so I know that something like that exist like I did chant less magic from before.

Conceal is actually magic spell and I called it skill because that's the common word on the MMORPG.

Never mind, Skill or magic spell is all the same for me after all.

Now I'm inside of the forest, I had a bad feeling from the moment I went in. it was a barrier that weakens a magic spell and magic power. The barrier is so wide that covered the whole forest. There must be an evil sorcerer activated this barrier. My eyesight is getting foggy and the trees are moving in my eyes.

It also had an illusion magic and it's also one of the thief's weakness. My body is invisible so it won't be a problem but my vision is difficult like I want to sleep with a young body.

I had no choice but to steal this.

"steal"

The barrier disappeared in a blink of an eye and now I've acquired a skill to active a barrier like that. The barrier skill is now mine. The one who created this barrier is not the only who've known this skill but that doesn't mean that he's the only who can use something like this in a vast magical world.

I don't care if there are other people who had such a powerful skill. I had an ability to steal so I'll be fine but the problem is my identity.

I must learn how to hide my true identity.

The vision returned to normal and I was relieved that I didn't wet my pants.

"yaaaaaaaaahh"

The heard a scream in a center of the forest. It sounds like someone needs help.

I dashed into the direction where someone screamed. Using accelerate advanced and arrived in time. I was standing on the branch of a tree. I was trying to find out what exactly happened but after that, I widened my eyes, what I saw was a young girl who had the same as me and now she is in a deep despair.

[why is that girl here, this place is dangerous even students in a magic academy are not allowed to go here.]

She was shaking in fear and in front of her were soldiers who attempted to rape her. her clothes were ripped off like tearing a sheet of paper.

[attempting to rape a child who looked like the same age as me. what are they, pedophile?]

At the first look, that girl is actually a noble aside from the clothes she wore.

Behind the group of soldiers was a device with a magic circle underneath. That must be the device to activate the barrier.

The magic device isn't destroyed but there's no doubt that I stole the barrier. They didn't notice what happened to the barrier.

"Help me! someone help me! help me!"

"no one's gonna come here and save you, we've activated barrier here. if u wondering why did this happened to you, blame your father."

I don't know what happened to them but it would be bad if was just standing on a branch of a tree and watch them.

At the house.

Knock knock knock.

"Magna, are you there, the lunch is ready"

Hiara was calling Magna but he didn't respond. Hiara opened the door and found out that magna is not at his room.

She quickly asked Sistina, my older sister if she saw magna going out of the house but Sistina replied that she didn't saw him.

"Hiara, what happened?"

Sistina was stunned by being asked all of a sudden.

"Magna disappeared in his room and I was thinking he was just going out and meet new friends"

The house is located in an open area and it's obvious that everyone knows who is about to go away and who is about to arrive.

Hiara is so worried about Magna and now she calmed down hoping Magna is alright.

….

There must be someone who held a grudge against that girl's father and she became a hostage. She must be kidnapped and brought all way into the center of the forest then activated a barrier. That's quite brilliant.

"nobles are nothing but a piece of shit acting like they're superior. Now die"

One soldier who was about to pierce a young girl with a spear but it got deflected in a blink of an eye.

When she closed her eyes waiting for her death. She realized that she didn't felt a weapon that was about to hit her. She opened her eyes again and what she saw was a back of a young boy who stopped the soldier who was about to thrust the spear into her.

Her reaction is the same as mine when magna saw her at the first look.

She can easily tell that the one who saved her was the same age as her. her vision is getting blurry, she can't see his face clearly.

I put healing magic on her then she went away for a hundred meters and i glared at the soldiers.

The soldiers were making a face that was about to underestimate a person. five soldiers against one and the one stands alone is also young.

"Do you have a death wish?"

I took out the chore knife that wasn't design for a combat. They were laughing at me because the way I look but the one who was about to kill this young girl isn't reacting the same as the other soldiers.

"You're referring to yourself?"

The one who asked me is getting angry when I replied while I was glaring at them.
