Silence.

Focus.

Patience.

I attempted gathering mana through the method that I read about in the book; it gave me decent knowledge and understanding of mana.

Basically, mana is a floating particle that one can absorb into their core, and in the process, when the mage absorbs the pure mana, it turns into an element with which the mage has affection.

Well, that's the basic process, but for now, that information is enough for me to grow.

The method of gathering mana is indeed complicated; as of now, I'm unable to gather large amounts of mana using it. My three-year-old brain simply can't withstand the exhaustion from a large amount of manga entering my body.

*phew*

Tired again? Useless body.

[As Fray cursed his body, thinking that it was weak and useless, he couldn't realize how durable his body actually is. If it were for anyone else in his place, their body would have been crumpled to pieces if they attempted this method at the age of three.]

[The method relied on one's brain control. Using the brain, the mage is supposed to send signals to the floating particles and, in the process, absorb them. Fray didn't realize yet how amazing this method actually is compared to other techniques.]

I was staring at the woman who sat in front of me; she has deep-set amethyst eyes. Her silky, straight, white hair is very long and is worn in an attractive style. She is short and has an angular build. Her skin is soft and pale, which makes you think that she's weak and needs protection. She has small ears and short fingers that suit her small stature. This woman was my mother.

We were sitting in the dining hall, with my father and maid Beatrice present too. My parents notified me that they had some news for me.

My dad uttered something, but he was interrupted by my mother,

–I think it would be better if I revealed it to him.– My mother spoke to my dad, who nodded in agreement.

This is getting quite nervous...

– So you see, Fray, – when my mother spoke to me, I could sense a feeling of discomfort in her voice.

Its getting quite lame. I guess I should act up?

– Mommy, is something wrong? You can tell me anything! I will punish those who dared to hurt you! – I said with a childish tone, at the same time supporting my words with hand gestures.

– Haha, such a brave warrior is rising from the house of Norman's! –  my dad laughed.

Mom hit him with the nasty look, and he stopped laughing and looked away in an attempt to escape from mom's piercing look.

She sighed and continued her sentence.

– You see, Fray, soon you'll have a little brother or sister. I'm pregnant. – She finished her sentence.

Well, truthfully speaking, I expected something like that to happen soon. They're a young couple; why would they stop at one?

But I suppose it's supposed to be something surprising for your average three-year-old, eh?

– A little brother or a sister?! How cool would that be? I will protect him or her, even if I am required to sacrifice myself! –

– Well, let's leave the protection part on your dad, right, honey? – my mother asked my dad as she smiled.

– Well, of course! Don't you see these giant muscles? Oh boy, nobody would dare touch you three as long as I'm present. – he flexed his muscles to prove his statement.

Indeed, he had some good form.

– Fray, how would you like to name your younger sibling? You can give two names, one for a boy and another if it's a girl, – my mother asked me curiously.

– Hmmm...Violet would be so cool! And if it's a boy, then Delroy. – I suggested.

– Not bad indeed; I like those names, – my mother delightfully said.

– Fitting names; I like them too. – said my dad.

We continued our family dinner for a couple more hours, and if someone asks me how I feel, then I will answer that I'm pleased with my life here.

Back in my previous life, we never had these kinds of unions due to my mom working so she could earn money to keep me and my dad being dead. These kinds of moments feel like blessings after my hellish previous life.

But there's still something I want to know.

Since being born in this world, I wasn't allowed outside, not once. When I try to go outside, there's always someone who will stop and scold me. I'm not trying to be a spoiled or disobedient child, but I just want to know what's on the outside.

It's pretty hard cultivating mana inside the house, but I guess I really have no choice other than gathering it inside the house.

Well, anyway, my journey as a magician begins now.

Let's see how swiftly I will create my core.
