Chapter 7

It's been 1 year since Roxy came.

My magic has varied and I've also learned the Beginner-level Sword God, North God, and Water God Style.

During this one year, there have been many incidents that have made me tired, from Roxy who gave me a doll and hair ribbon because she thought I was a girl and Paul who was too eager to train me because he thought I was talented in swordsmanship.

'Well, this is also natural because I also have long hair and have a very beautiful and charming face, and also I cut a rock on the first try using a wooden sword....Ugh, I shouldn't have been provoked by Paul's arrogant face that time, Haah so tired.' I thought while lying down looking at the clear sky near the village fields.

Recently my Mana has also not been able to increase anymore and only stayed at the Advance level, every time I want to store more mana in my body, my body will be in so much pain like it will explode.

'Looks like my body can't hold too much pure mana in this small body, so this is my limit at 4 years old, maybe when my body grows stronger it will be able to hold more pure mana so all I can do now is just expel the pure mana in the body and turn it into a solid object and recharge it every day so that I can do what is called body reconstruction' I thought excitedly thinking about how strong I would become after the body reconstruction.

"Hooam..., so bored because there's already little to learn from Roxy about magic I have nothing to do and the rest just have to study the history and geography of this world, such as the Superd clan and the Legend of Demon Kings and Heroes. I'm not really interested in History and the geography of this world, so all the lessons are boring." I said as I lay down and used my hands as a pillow on my head.

"Rudeus seems afraid to go out and he enjoys history and geography lessons....., maybe today I'll just go around the village." I said getting up and going to tour the village.

I walked past the rice fields and plantations belonging to the villagers then I saw a green-haired child and 3 children playing chase(?)

I then reached the main road of the village where there were merchant and inns. there I saw an uncle on the side of the road with a canvas and tools to draw it and in front of him there was a board that said offering painting services for 10 bronze coins per picture.

The uncle looked disheveled and bearded and had jet black hair with blood-red eyes that seemed to pay close attention to the surroundings. The uncle then looked at me who was watching him.

"Hey child, do you want to be painted?" the uncle said to me.

'Hm, I've never seen painting services in my world before, maybe I'll give it a try and I have some money from help a neighbor near the house' I thought as I nodded my head and headed for the uncle to paint.

"Here, sit here, child." Uncle said, bringing a stool for me to sit and then Uncle was ready to paint.

I then sat on the bench provided by the uncle and the uncle began to paint me.

"But son, for a boy, you have a very beautiful and charming look," said the uncle casually while painting.

"Hm? Uncle know I'm a boy? Usually everyone thinks I'm a girl." I said a little surprised.

"Hah! For an artist, it's definitely easy to distinguish between a girl and a boy." Uncle said proudly.

"Heeh, that's great uncle" I said with a little admiration

10 minutes later

"It's finished." said the uncle handing over the painting he drew.

"Wow!, the painting is very good uncle!" I said in amazement to see the results of his painting.

"This is normal....oh yeah what's your name son, I'll write your name on the painting" the uncle asked

"William Greyrat, what's your uncle's name?" I asked back

"Michael da Vinci." replied the uncle while writing my name on the back painting and name.

"It's already."

Uncle Michael handed over the Painting and then I paid him

"Thank you, Young William."

"Thank you too Uncle Michael."

Then I came home with the painting and saw again the green-haired child with 3 other small children playing chase(?), because the sun had started to set I rushed to the house, afraid of being scolded for being out too long.

***

When I got home I was scolded by Zenith for coming home late after that I took a shower and used [Clean] magic. even though I already have [Clean] magic, I still take a shower because if I haven't showered it still feels dirty and uncomfortable even though the [Clean] magic has cleaned everything perfectly.

I then entered the room and saw Rudeus who was still making puppets out of dirt again to increase his magic.

"Make dolls from the ground again to increase mana?" I asked seeing a lot of dolls from the ground lying on the floor.

"Yes, Niisan didn't do it?" Rudeus asked cleaning up all the earthen dolls that were on the floor.

"No, my mana can't increase anymore." I answered then used earth magic to make a frame for the painting I just got.

"Oh I see, what is that?" Rudeus asked again, seeing me hanging a painting on the wall.

"This is a painting that I got from a painter in the village to paint me." I replied, satisfied to see the results of the display of his paintings.

"What a beautiful painting." Rudeus was amazed to see the painting depicting William sitting gracefully and beautifully.

"Hoaam.... Yes that's great." I muttered as I yawned and headed for the bed to sleep.

"Niisan, why do you always sleep so fast?" asked Rudeus, surprised because I always sleep early.

"Early sleep and early awakening are the keys to health, and I am disturbed by the voices of father and mother at midnight." I answered preparing to enter dreamland.

"Ehh, come on niisan try peeking at mom and dad at midnight, last night I saw Roxy-Shishou peeking at mom and dad at midnight." Rudeus said with a big grin and made a perverted face.

"Just sleep you perverted brat, your bottom will shrink if you stay up too late." I told Rudeus the own-creation myth.

'Maybe tomorrow I'll try painting' I thought then entered the dream world

"Huh? Who said it's shrinking?, must be a myth....., yes a myth..." Rudeus muttered as he quickly went to his bed to sleep.
