Jeyn..hah..

You've outdone yourself this time.

Chapter 4: A Phoenix's Blessing

It's been 3 years since I was enrolled to school, well I didn't really go to school but just enrolled early and got a private spot.

The normal age for children to go school is 10 and above because that's when kids awaken.

I'm a genius of course.

I still have 3 years remaining before I can go to school, so I spent the last

3 years and I WILL spend the next 3 years enjoying this life.

Since i just studied and trained my whole past life I didn't get to have fun, But let's not talk about that anymore.

At the same time I was enjoying and relaxing, I've also not been lazy in enhancing my strength and such.

Secretly from father and mother.

If you're wondering that I should just relax from all the things and be spoiled because of all the hard work I've done in my past life.

This is no big deal compared to before.

Anyways, thanks to all the sword training my father taught me. I've gotten quite a strong body. Even compared to the adults.

Also, I studied all kinds of things in this world and came to an conclusion that..

It's too underdeveloped.

Nobles abusing their power because of their bloodline, people believing completely in the church's scams, and most worst of all,

Slavery.

The church which is "Loyal" to the righteous God, doesn't give a damn to slavery.

Even to their own kind being used as slaves.

Even the so called church uses beastmen slaves as offering to their God. They're more of a cult than that of a church.

The stupid and clueless people even throw rocks at beastmen children which the Church prescribes as mercy of god to evil beasts.

Human civilians believed that beastmen were possible dangers to them without even knowing anything.

They just blindly follows all the church's words like idiotic dumbasses.

Even so, the church that does all these called "Holy Cross Church" is big enough to take over countries that scares kings to the point that they can't even do anything about it.

It's not like they will do something about it even when they are bigger because I've learnt that some kings even follow the church.

Some cruel kings ignore all the warnings that the royal fraction and politicians in the kingdom, instead they get blinded by the wealth that the church presents them.

Enough about that.

The progress I made during this last 3 years was outstanding. Even suprising myself.

What I've done here should have taken me a few more years when I was a kid in my past life.

Though I really didn't have that much talent. I only plowed myself to glory with my blood, sweat and tears.

I think I have enough power to barely win against my father in a duel by using every single drop of my Mana.

I also tried to apply the things I learned in my past life. Fortunately it did work.

I managed to recreate body strengthening and Purifying magic

Let me explain purifying magic.

Purifying magic is just as It says and looks. It's a concept that all kids that awaken in my past life needed to do.

It's an procedure which in Ki users do Purifying magic on kids to remove all the waste and imperfections, thus making a stronger body.

It's kind of like a vaccine but with magic.

I already tried this on myself so that I had a stronger build to keep standing In the sword training my father does.

"VEYN"

ah.. My father is calling me.

I went up to father and he told me that we were going to go hunt monsters.

The only thing is that..

I NEVER HUNTED BEFORE!

Meaning, this will be my first time going monster hunting.

Sounds like a movie from my past life.

We walked in the forest and father said that he'll teach me how to detect monsters.

He laid out leaves and things that can crumble and crunch easily and went to a nearby Bush to wait for a monster to come.

I thought he was gonna show me a technique that he made.

Technically, this is a technique but it's too inefficient.

I did some simple sensory magic to widen the views of my surroundings.

There were lots of living beings but among them none were monsters.

Sfx: THUMP

Wha- what is this...

I sudden chill invited me somewhere..

Unable to move properly, I was moved without my consent.

We were driven to a cave but my father already passed out.

This eerie pressure that was all around us was immensely terrifying.

Even when I had waged wars and won all of them. The pressure that is forced onto me right now is on another level compared to emperors.

Come.

There was a loud voice in my head continuously saying that word.

I knew that I had no choice but to go, I left my father there as he was unconscious.

Every step I take, the pressure gets heavier and heavier.

I looked at my surroundings and as soon as I stepped into this crystal like landscape I heard the word "Stop"

I looked up and saw a huge silhouette of a somewhat bird of a kind.

The crystals shined when they met with the sunlight , revealing a Phoenix.

I heard about them in this world and the other.

Phoenixes are immortal beings and legendary creatures. They are powerful enough to overpower dragons and every other monster.

I looked up to this blue fire like Phoenix and said.

"You are of the legendary ranks of monsters?"

His eyes widened as he looked to my fearless acting.

He said "foolish humans, I exceed your preferences. I am a Demigod but you.... who are you?"

I looked at the phoenix with confusion, and realized if he knew I was an otherworlder.

I asked him what was wrong with me.

He answered back,

"Boy, your line.. the string of fate that you are carrying with you is.. better than mine."

Then, the Phoenix said..

"Ah, that's why."

I was really confused as he said that, but I didn't dare talk back.

The Phoenix said

"My name is Xylephious, you have a fate that of a Legend.

You will know everything until you meet him. For now beware of your surroundings and put your trust with a good decision."

[𝓘 𝓰𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓶𝔂 𝓫𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰]

Use it.

Xylephious said while disappearing into the darkness.

As soon as he dissapeared the pressure came with him. Leaving me with a bunch of crystals.

I questioned all the things that were informed by Xylephious. I took his warnings and facts seriously as he was a legendary bea- no.. demi-god.

I went out of the cave and pulled my useless father with me to the forest.

I went to his side acting like I woke up as well.

Father woke up and asked me what happened, he saw that I also "woke up" and didn't continue his sentence.

We were going to go home and saw a smoke going in the direction of our house.

Seeing this, father immediately carried me and ran at full speed toward the direction of the smoke.

I was shocked to see that..

It was our house, and...

Mother was gone.
