Forming Mana
(POV: Kaisel)
1 year has passed since I was first sent to this world; I am slowly forming my Mana Core ready to unlock my Magic Division and then awaken my Levelling System and I estimate I'll most likely complete it in a month or 2.
I've been living at the Orphanage for a while now and I've had a lot of good times here, I finally have a family here making friends with most of the kids there, some have found it strange that I can already talk in full sentences and walk perfectly but that's mostly because of my Quick Learning. During my time in this world, I learned everything much quicker already knowing most of the knowledge about this world due to reading the webcomic.
(POV: 3rd Person)
Kaisel would begin meditating in a hidden space to avoid anyone disturbing him or finding out too early, forming his core until a voice would call his name from the other room Kaisel would recognise her as Elena Grey his mother figure and the person who looks after him and the other kids as he would make his way over to her room and as she saw him, she would beckon for him to come in.
"Kaisel are you doing well, I have something for you," Elena asked.
"I'm fine thank you, w- what is it," Kaisel replied confused unsure what it could be.
"Well now, I was going to give you this when you were older, so you didn't break it, but you've matured quickly, and you already act grown so here you go." Elena sighed as she pulled out a gold stopwatch.
"It was with you when you showed up it's some kind of pocket watch please look after it."
"Thank you miss, I'll look after it," Kaisel assured bowing down to her as a grabbed the pocket watch.
Kaisel looked at the pocket watch opening it. "Tick" "Tick" "Tick" Though nothing happened he kept it putting it in his pocket listening to the ticking noise when he was bored or watching how the gears turned it seemed like time would go faster as he would be entranced by it.
(POV: Kaisel)
Time passed and I went for a walk around the town talking with people and the friends I made in the town, but I snuck away entering the forests and training my strength and speed finding the perfect way to train my body, my body even growing faster in strength, I then began to meditate continuing to form my Mana Core.
(A/N I know a 1-year-old wouldn't be able to do this, but this isn't a real one-year-old, so it's cool I guess)
After some time, I finished my training, I headed home greeting everyone and talking with my friends, and eating as I soon grew drowsy and headed to bed ready for the next day.
- 1 Month Later -
I went outside ready to awaken my Mana Core I knew I was close . . . I could feel my core slowly forming, I chose to meditate outside seeing what happened with Arthur in the original webcomic and thinking about Arthur and the original TBATE world without me in it I wondered how my existence would shift the story.
As I began meditating, I could feel my Mana Core complete its formation, and as my Core awakened, what felt like a vacuum appeared around me, and as I began absorbing more mana from the outside world normal if a conjurer awakened it would stop after a while but I could feel my Mana Veins continue to enlarge there must be a source of mana nearby as I didn't stop absorbing, I could feel my magic multiplying as it looks like people from inside could feel the mana as they came outside seeing me awaken as a shocked look would be shown across their face seeing me awaken at such a young age.
"H- How he's still too young this should be impossible." Elena gasped staring at me in shock.
I finally stopped absorbing mana as I fell to the ground . . . I finally have magic.
I stood up clenching my fist . . . I've done it.
"K- Kaisel are you OK." Elena asked worriedly.
"Yes . . . I feel amazing." I answered . . . I've finally done it . . . my first accomplishment in the world, already I've done more than I've ever done in my past life.
- 2 Years Later -
(POV: Kaisel)
Over the 2 years, Kaisel would awaken his Magic Divisions being a Quadra Elemental and unlocking 2 different Deviant Abilities Ice and Gravity and when this happened the stopwatch seemed to be emitting Mana that Kaisel could use to cast spells, but these weren't any ordinary spells, it seems the stopwatch made them stronger maybe this is what the old man was talking about.
Kaisel would tell his family about his Elemental Affinities and him being a Quadra Elemental but kept it secret from anyone outside to avoid drawing attention, Kaisel would then decide to have his Mana Core Stage tested in secret and he would already be Dark Red Stage and because of this he would be assigned a teacher to foster his magical skill, he would also decide to learn how to use a blade learning fencing which he would quickly learn and over the following months he would master and soon enough a year would pass and the day Kaisel would be waiting for would arrive.
(A/N BTW I know I said this would be Sung Jin Woo's Levelling System, but it will mostly just be a Levelling System but with my twists so no he will not be the Shadow Monarch, but he will be a Monarch.)
(POV: Kaisel)
"Happy Birthday Kaisel!!!" The orphanage cheered.
Today was the day . . . my 4th birthday I should be unlocking my Levelling System any time now.
. . .
'Di-Ding,' The bell rang.
