《Living in my Own World!》Chapter 2
Advertisement
I walked out of my bland room, a smile plastered on my face. As I walked out of my room into a long hallway, I was greeted by the same maid as earlier. I looked towards her, her face one of a little bit of fear. I could understand that, because who would think that a child that is two years old could speak fluently?
Sighing, I walked up to her. However she may feel, I need to let her know I mean no harm to her or the family. I'm just an ordinary guy, after all.
"Hey. I know it may seem weird that a two-year-old is talking fluently, but I assure you that I don't even know what's going on myself," I said with a wry smile. I didn't want her to think I was a demon or something like that who invaded a small child's body.
"I know. It's just a bit surreal to me. I'm sorry, it'll be a while before I can get the hang of it," the maid replied. With a little bit of weight off my shoulders, I walked away with a nod.
My only goal at this point is to explore the world around me, and in particular, my current dwelling.
The walls and floor around me were similar to my bland little room's, with walls that were created out of stone and wood, and the floor was a spotless wooden floor. I couldn't tell if this was a rich house or if it was a rather poor house because I've never seen a noble's house.
The information I gathered from my mother yesterday included nobility, guild ranks, and magic 'ranks,' if you will.
Nobility is split up into parts; baronet, baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke, and then the royalty, prince, princess, king and the queen.

Alongside that, the king and queen have their advisers, which are always at the Duke rank or just barely below it, however, they are above the Duke rank, yet below the prince. Needless to say, they're powerful people.
The guild ranks are pretty basic, from SSS to E, they are SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, F, E. SSS is the highest rank possible.
Magic 'ranks' are very similar, and your entire strength is based upon letters, F-SSS. If you are SSS, then your potential in the future is further than even some gods. People have to go to the church to find out their ranks, but most people call the ranks their 'Potential.' F potential is the potential to be a farmer or even less than that. Most of these people don't amount to much, however, some people went even further than their F potential. Some people have become S potential from being an F. The string of fate remains unknown on how they work.
Everyone is granted their potential at the tender age of 5. Being two years old, I was giddy, and at the same time, impatient. Couldn't I have been at the very least 4 years old?
At that exact time, a thought occurred to me. Couldn't I just ask my user assistant if they could tell me my potential? You never know until you try.
I can indeed measure your potential.
I tripped on absolutely nothing because of the user assistant's intrusion. I forgot that it could read my mind. I also haven't even thought of a name for it or even the gender of it.
I don't have a gender, but, according to your memories, you'd prefer a female.
I stood up from the wooden floors and shook my head, hoping for some restrictions from my mind in the future. Would she watch as I- no, we're not going there. I put my hand on my chin as I looked at the roof for whatever inspirational wisdom it could offer.

A few more minutes of roof-praising later, I finally chose Ruby and I thanked the roof for its non-existent service. I still wondered what my potential is.
I've calculated your potential. You have SSS potential.
With a gasp, I, once more, fell to the floor and cried of joy. I could do almost anything now! I could protect the ones I loved! I could not contain my joy for a brief period of time, so the maid came over and tried asking what was wrong, but I didn't answer because of my pure joy.
After about an hour, I got up and continued walking around. I was admiring the house I lived in, and personally, I think it looked pretty good. Maybe not as good as a Viscount or Earl's house, but it was good nonetheless. After a bit more walking, I came across a fairly large door. My house wasn't enough to be a mansion, but it was close enough, so I was happy to live where I was living. I opened the wooden door with a push, and found a fairly old-looking man in a chair by a desk, writing into a 'journal' of sorts.
He turned around and looked at me, and looked somewhat confused.
"Kas?"
"Hello, and who are you?"
This startled him, and he looked like he saw a ghost or something.
"Since when can you talk this fluently?! Who stole my boy?"
"I've no idea myself, but I'd assume you're my father then?"
"I... what? Who are you?!"
"Listen, I woke up here and I have no idea myself. I've already talked to Mother."
"You did? Fine, what do you need?"
"I was just exploring the area."
"Exploring the area, eh?"
"I mean, I did just wake up and have no memories whatsoever."
"Yeah, okay. My name is Robert Ravenwood, your father," he said with a hesitant look on his face. Understandable, really.
"So, what I really want to know is if you can teach me magic?" I asked with a smile. I haven't learned much magic, but due to the fact I have a SSS potential, I should be okay, right?
"Yeah, possibly. I never was good at magic, my potential being D and all. Having said that, do you know your potential?"
"I do, and I can say I'm able to learn."
"What's your potential?"
"I, uh..."
"Come on, spit it out!"
"It's SSS!"
The room went very silent.

The Ancient One
The Alteric Empire was vast and powerful. Their borders reached to all coasts of the continent, and their banner swayed in the wind of every town. Their knowledge on magic was second to none, and their firm grasp of combat trained highly skilled warriors. Their enemies trembled at their approach, and their friends feasted their arrival. The Orcs, and the Dwarves, were conquered, and given equal rights as their Human Overlords. For thousands of years they reigned supreme, and peace and prosperity was abundant throughout the continent. The arrival of the Elves shattered that. Led by their so called "Great One", they invaded the empire. Elves fell in droves, hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands, but the empire lost ground. In a last attempt to defeat the Elves, the Crown Prince was sealed away, with the hope that one day he would be awoken in an time where the Elves can be stopped. Without the prince, the Elves lost less and less soldiers with each attack, until the Empire crumbled. After thousands of years of occupation, Humanity is no more. There are only elves, orcs, and dwarves, and humans have been forgotten by most. Hundreds of thousands of years later, a young elf will stumble across an ancient secret, and the Elven Empire will shake in it foundations. For the Ancient Being awakes, and he brings doom.

A Warrior's Love (BL)
"Your mind is dark, your eyes are dull, your life is bleaker than feces, and your heart is covered in ash." She removed one hand to keep her veils on her head as the topmost shawl slipped down her neck. She continued to speak, "Your blood is cold. If you remain this way, you will die before you can find your love." The Krasean lowered his veil, revealing his face to us. He tipped his head upward so I can see his honey coloured eyes that were duller than his peoples'. Black eyeliner outlined the rim of his eyes, drawing attention to his enchanting eyes. "Whoever your lover is, they are your other half. You will endure hardships and pain because of them. You will also make them feel the same." She looked conflicted like she did not know whether to tell me this was good or bad. "In their eyes, you are the evilest and the godliest. How contradicting this is!" "Did you slap me?" I held the helmet between the pit of my elbow and my waist. One hand slowly reached up to rub my numb cheek. It has been forever since someone last slapped me. Now, no one who knew my identity would dare to hit me directly. "The blood coursing through your veins, it's hot and dangerous. You cannot be tamed easily and this may be the cause of your downfall." A strange grimace graced her wrinkled face. I swear to the gods she is ageing each second! "I see your fall. Someone with too much power automatically becomes a threat. You're no longer seen as an ally, but a monster."
