its complete darkness once more... guess I'll have to wait another 9 months doing nothing!

i was born in a normal family, my father was a doctor, my mother is a high mage, my sister is a magic prodigy with natural dual elements. pretty normal indeed for a protagonist.

i am currently 5 years old, the city i live in is invaded by swarms of monsters every year on October. the monsters are cold blooded, and the city is in the way, because of this.

the city will have more casualties than life each year, which makes finding talented mages a high priority, the city has 5 sets of walls, and have a population of 500,000.

so the city has a lot of time finding a strong mage. but right now... i need to find that person... "I've sent many people to this world... There's one being who killed an immortal before..."

what she mentioned was a being... it isn't necessarily human... but it's strong enough to stay hidden from a god...

at age 6 i might be able to leave the house without anyone finding me, i need to get stronger through the ghosts.

there are a lot of spirits nearby, but i can't speak the language of this world... this world has around 57 letters in the alphabet and the numbers don't really change.

actually right now I'm learning how to speak the language called esterdan, a language named after the person who discovered this nation and invented magic and technology.

after 6 months of learning the language i finally became fluent in it, and as for my first task... the ghost who lives in this house who watches over my mom!

my mom just got home and the female ghost was still following her, hovering right beside her.

I said "mom, who is the person next you?" both of them were confused, my mom said "what person?" while the ghost said "you can see me!" in excitement.

i nodded my head and said "she is flying mom, like the one's that fly in movies!" she chuckled and said with a smile "then can you tell me what she says?"

the ghost said "I am her mom, and you are my grandchild!" so i said "she said she is your mom and something about me being her child."

I may be fluent but i still got to act like i am a child, my mom was surprised about this, she lost her smile and started forming tears, then the ghost hugged her, and i said "now she's hugging you"

this made her cry, she said "I'm sorry mom... i couldn't protect you..." then she hugged me, and said "thank you..." then the choices appeared, of course i had to absorb the ghost.

after 10 hours i completely absorbed her.

"skill: familiar empathy: you will be able to feel the emotions of the one's close to you"

well i could have gotten a better skill, but i guess this is a start!
