《The Isekai》Chapter 2: My childhood Part 1
Advertisement
"Now I have to see what is going to happen to me in this world, I'm going to do my best to have the best life in this new world".
It has been four years since I came to this world and I have learned some interesting things about myself and my family. The first thing that I learnt is that I'm called, Florium Tarsal Farfalles, my father is Caesar Tarsal and my mother is Ruliet Farfalles and we are a family of nobles. We also have maids and servants but the most impressive maids that I have seen working here are a shy Girl called Yura Yurishia, who's from the race of the cats also known as nekomatas girls, and a strong girl called Laura Sars, who's from the race of the serpents also known as medusas. They are the only demi-humans in the entire house.
Seven years have passed and I'm now bigger than Yura. She's still the same shy person but now she's scared of me, even if she saw me growing up. Laura started to see me as a good master and I think that she has a secret interest in me. They are around the same age as me and both of them are cute. In total we have eight servants and eight maids, counting Yura and Laura.
My mother who apparently was a war princess who fought in great wars before having me is training me. Sometimes I wonder if she's a mother or a demon in disguise, when she is training me. She makes me run 2 km, practice magic, do karate, and train sword skills when we have training sessions. About five days of hard training per week. Also sometimes she fights against me and she always wins by slashing, dashing, stabbing and finally becoming an unstoppable cyclone of steel, cutting my sword in half and putting me in the ground. Even when she's staring at me with the eyes of the devil, looking like a killing machine, I know she is a kind and a good mother.

My father teaches me about the education, the work of the people of my status, even if I don't know what that is, and about this world: the language, the monetary system, the rules and a lot more. What I found strange and at the same time interesting is that in this world, unlike ours, slavery and guilds of adventurous heroes exist. Also in this world, there's a similar system of status just like in Japan but with little changes. I found my father to be a great economist and a great treasurer at the service of the kingdom but he's still scared of my mother.
Now I'm thirteen years old and I have been travelling around this world with my mother for the last few years. My mother has been training and teaching me while we travel. Only recently I have discovered that my father has secretly enlisted me in the Royal military academy, because he thinks that I need to make some friends and I need to socialize with children of my own age. He also said I need to learn what it means to be a noble. I suspect that he has other intentions in mind, anyway I'm going to do what he asked me. I don't want him to get angry. When my mother discovered the fact that I was going to be enlisted she got angry with my father and all of the servants and maids were scared of her, including me. My father suffered the worst part of her wrath. The only problem that I have with this, it's that I don't trust people as I used to and I don't want any more friends because they betrayed me in the past.

Harmless Sweetie (Rewritten)
*UPDATES EVERY MONDAY AND FRIDAY, SOMETIMES MORE IF I DON'T HAVE SCHOOLWORK. **This is tagged as comedy but I have a really stupid and peculiar sense of humor so yeah. "That's an eldritch horror." "No it's not, it's a frog." "Why does it have ten eyes and eight rows of teeth, not just that but why does it just perpetually scream with the voices of the ones whose mind it has eaten." "I'm just not that good at anatomy." *** Clailip Diancia, the tiny boy who dances along the threads of fate woven by a wicked witch. Not knowing of the plans of the witch that once scorched the lands, and unknowing of the abyss that beckons him forth. This harmless sweetie watches the stories of those around him. Ever unconscious of the turning loom of fate, always oblivious of the stories, legends, and tapestries of heroes that revolve around him as he goes, as he dances, and as he prances, leaving myths and rumours wherever he might set foot in. But as he is unaware of those whose fates have intertwined with his, he is also blind to the soul-piercing stares of the Abyss, ever calling to him.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
