Chapter 15: Manifest!

"Can I activate magic now!? Now!? Please!" I bounced on my feet just as I and Mom arrived at the yard. Mom and Dad were finally back from adventuring, and I was so excited to finally start making some fire. 

"Oh fine," Mom sighed with a smile. "Keep the mana as far away from yourself as you can manage, and then activate it, just as I've taught you."

"Okay!" I brighte...

Chapter 14: "Society." (Clown Emoji.)

This was Granuel. The child of Baston and Fiya, and a cute baby toddler. He was an ishkawtan like his father, for that was how species worked in this world, provided it was even possible to procreate. The species is inherited from one parent, and the same Mutations carry over. The Mutations of the other parent would have little to no effect, but they could still pass down certain traits, like h...

Chapter 13: Fire Away.

Excitement coursed through my veins. My palms tingled as I held on for dear life at the fire wand that my mom had handed to me. After so long, I may be able to finally cast a spell.

"This is a practice wand, with very little mana, and a very weak focus. But it could still be dangerous, specially so close to yourself. So if I tell you to stop, then you immediately drop the wand. Understan...

Chapter 12: Envy.

Mom gave us a quick lecture about magic in the orphanage classroom. This sort of setup was not common in the empire. Education could sometimes be provided by parents or apprenticeships, but the most common method was to have certain big employers that would provide the training in exchange for a set period of work that would follow. They often took in entire families who would work for them for...

Chapter 11: Hunter.

I prowled across the grass, my eyes searching for tracks. My surroundings were entirely quiet, save for the snickering of my mom and Salaire in the background. And also the noise of the rowdy children around them. Not to mention the many people of differing species walking across the street…

Okay, it wasn't quiet at all. But I ignored all of them and moved on with silent steps, closing ...

Chapter 10: Swords and Magic

It was a wonderful morning. The sun was shining, the birds chirping, and rays of golden light were shooting through the air. I tried to catch these wisps of magic, running around the yard and laughing. After a day spent on theory yesterday, Mom had finally deemed me ready to try and learn some magic.

"Remember, Haell," she said, focusing on her wand and the control over magic, "mana is no...

Chapter 8.5 (Interlude): The Genocide of The Inhex.

—Grandpa Golex POV—

—Over a century ago—

“Aaaahhhh…!” I expressed my utmost serenity and excitement for the upcoming battle. The smell of salt was a balm to my soul as we rapidly approached our destination. The shore of Hivania had come into view, and with it the inhex that called the continent home. I’d been brie...

Chapter 8: Baptism

Finally. After hours spent listening to stupid bullshit, and then socializing, we can finally–

"Alright. Time for your baptism Haell," Mom said, forcing a smile.

I looked at her, mouth agape.

I began to cry.

I did not stop when we exited the massive church. I did not stop when we strolled through the manor grounds, greeting the mostly...

Chapter 7: Church.

A month had passed since my birthday. I found myself being carried down the main road once again. 

We were en route toward the baron’s manor at the very center of town. That was where most of the shepherds that ruled this town lived, and where the big church was located.

We failed to attend last month's service because I went and got myself injured. The following day when we ...

Chapter 6: Belated Happy Birthday!

I awoke with a start. The immediate thought that entered my mind was if I had died for a second time, and lost my shot at what I had always wanted but had been too proud to ever admit.

An actual, supportive, and loving family.

Relief flooded me the next moment, when I found that they were still there. My parents and their two close friends, all hovering protectively over my prone fo...

Chapter 5: Happy Birthday!

I toddled down the hill with explosive enthusiasm, and my parents were only content to watch my inspiring marathon. Today was my birthday, and we were going to celebrate it at the orphanage, one that was run by another pair of Mom and Dad's adventuring buddies. But before all of that, we had to pick up Fiya and Baston first. Their house and store was just down the hill.

I fell.

I tr...

Chapter 4: Baby Steps

Grandpa Golex sat beside me, his gigantic body dwarfing my small form. Joining us today were my pregnant Aunt Fiya and not pregnant Uncle Baston. Not that we were actually related, they were my parents' friends and party members from back during their Adventurer days. 

Neither of them were human.

Aunt Fiya was of a race of people called a fountan. A species capable of producing...
