To You From the Past

Kyle carefully read through the list of talents displayed on the screen. Each one seemed unique and potentially useful in its own way.

After a moment of consideration, he made his selections.

"I choose God's Favourite, Desperate counterattack, Charmer, and Sewing," Kyle said decisively.

The system responded with a confirmation message.

[Talents selected: God's Favourite, Desperate counterattack, Charmer, Sewing. Simulation mode fully activated.]

[The environment is determined, Fontaine five hundred and eighteen years ago.]

As the sounds around him gradually became distant and the picture in front of him blurred, Kyle felt a sense of detachment as he entered the simulation space. It was as if he was being pulled into another world, one five hundred and eighteen years in the past.

[You were born in an influential family in Fontaine, your name is 'Kyle Pierre'.]

[Moments after you were born, the gods blessed you and a hydro vision appeared by your side.]

[Your names spreads throughout the influential circles of Fontaine and eventually reach the water goddess Egeria's ears.]

[Your Parents get the rare opportunity of a private audience with the water goddess, you were personally blessed by Egeria.]

"We are truly honored, Your Grace," his father said, bowing deeply as they stood before Egeria. Kyle, a small child at the time, clung to his mother's hand, wide-eyed and curious.

Egeria, radiant and serene, smiled warmly at the family. "The honor is mine. Young Kyle has been blessed with a hydro vision at birth, a rare and significant sign. His future is filled with great potential."

Kneeling down to Kyle's level, Egeria placed a gentle hand on his head. A soft glow enveloped them both, and Kyle felt an indescribable warmth and power surge through him.

"May the waters of Fontaine guide and protect you, Kyle Pierre," Egeria said, her voice a soothing melody. "You are destined for greatness. Use your gifts wisely and with compassion."

[You were always a quick learner, you picked up a sword when you were six.]

[Becoming proficient at sword arts in a year, you easily defeat opponents twice your age.]

[Your reputation continued to grow, and your name became synonymous with excellence and promise.]

[Your unusual progress draws Egeria's interest.]

"It seems I widely underestimated your talent the last time we met, Kyle Pierre," Egeria said

"Your progress is remarkable, Kyle. It is clear that my initial blessing was just the beginning of your journey. Your skill with the sword is unparalleled for someone of your age, and your potential is limitless."

She placed a hand on his shoulder, and once again, Kyle felt the warmth and power of her blessing. "Fontaine needs protectors like you, those who can uphold justice and safeguard our land. I will personally oversee your training from now on."

[Grabbing Egeria's hand you bid farewell to your old life and start living in Palais Mermonia with Egeria.]

Over the following years, Kyle's life was a blend of intense training sessions, both physical and mental.

Egeria taught him not only the art of combat but also the principles of leadership, strategy, and justice. Under her guidance, he honed his abilities, mastering his hydro vision and becoming a formidable duelist.

As time passed, Kyle's bond with Egeria grew stronger. She was not just his mentor but also a friend and confidant.

He came to understand the depth of her wisdom and the weight of her responsibilities as a goddess. Her teachings shaped him into a leader who valued not just strength but also compassion and integrity.

[You were fourteen years old when you met Focalors for the first time.]
