Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Grey
In house made of wood in a small village, a handsome and well-built man over 6 foot tall was holding a baby boy beside a beautiful and fair-skinned woman who had just given birth. After a moment of silence, when the man and women was feeling anxious because of the silence, came the loud cry of the baby. "Uwaaahhh! Uwaaaahhh!"
When the couple heard the cries from the baby they heaved a sigh of relief. "Honey, since its a boy you get to name him." weakly said the woman named Cynthia to the man.
"Then I shall name him Grey! don't worry dear you can rest now." said the man named Hale with a warm and caring smile as he placed Grey beside the woman. Cynthia only nodded her head weakly to Hale as she held the crying Grey in her arms.
"FUCK! I can't believe that I, the mighty Jin Long has been reduced to such a state!" thought the baby Grey while crying. "you're pretty calm about this aren't you?" Grey heard Seraphim's ethereal voice inside his head. "well what's the point of panicking, might as well accept it and move on. Wait… did you just talk inside my head? And where are you?" because Grey can't talk, these are only his thoughts.
"I'm speaking to you telepathically, so you can just reply to me inside your mind, you're also the only one who can see or hear me. And since you can't use telepathy yet, I'll just read your thoughts to hear your reply."
As Seraphim was saying this, there appeared a mini-Seraphim in front of Grey the size of an average adult palm. "damn so I can't have any privacy then? Oh… you look cute in that form…" thought Grey when he saw Seraphim. "Don't you have other things to do, is it really okay for you to be here?" asked Grey " I'm quite free actually and for a few hundred years now at that, so I am really bored."
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . "
"*sigh*, guess I really can't practice the Tyrannical heaven art as a newborn, then I just have to wait at the age of four I think so can practice it then." said Grey as he tried the to practice his martial art.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
4 years had passed since Jin Long, now known as Grey has been reincarnated into this world. Grey has learned many things about this world in this 4 years through his memories and by asking Seraphim.
He found out that he is in the Frey continent, named after the Goddess Freya, the most influential Goddess in this world. He is currently living in a village outside the influence of one of the 3 empires in the continent, Ainsworth Empire.
In this continent there consist of 3 empires which are the Ainsworth empire ruled by humans, the Beastkin empire ruled by Demi-humans, and the 3-race empire which consists of the Elves, Dark elves and Dwarves. There are still some races that are spread out through the continent that do not reside in any of the empires. There is only one language in this continent, but thanks to Seraphim Grey doesn't need to learn it.
"Grey, get over here!" shouted Hale as he called Grey who was laying in the roof of their house.
"Oops, sorry" said Grey as he slowly climb down the house. "that's the third time I called for you, could you be thinking about the neighbors daughter, Mary?" said Hale as he patted Grey's head while they walked towards the house.
"What are you talking about dad she's only 4 years old!" said Grey while pouting. "you're only 4 years old too! Wait! don't tell me your into older women?, *sigh* looks like you take after your father."
Currently Hale is 28 years old while Cynthia is 30 years old.
Smack!
Cynthia gave Hale a slap behind his head. "Hooh, are you calling me old?"
"What? Where'd you get that? My wife's beauty is like the bright moon under the night skies, can split the oceans and overturn mountains, and is absolutely peerless under the heavens, nobody would think your old, my wif-"
"Alright dad we heard enough, stop your bootlicking already, I'm honestly surprised that mom doesn't get sick by that." said Grey as he cut off Hale.
"You brat! Your mom doesn't get sick of it because she likes it!, you're to young understand." said Hale as he held Grey by neck using his forearm and rubbed his head.
"Hey stop that!" protested Grey while laughing lightly, but still thought to himself "damn does that really work on women?".
"Alright you two enough playing around, Honey did you forgot what you called Grey for?"
"Oh yeah, Grey its time to check if you have affinity for magic. And since your 4 years old now you should have gained knowledge about your skills and class." said Hale to Grey.
"Yes, I did."
"Let's check your affinity for magic first. Just place your hand in this orb." said Hale while taking a transparent orb from Cynthia's hand.
"You can see what element you are compatible with when you place your hand in this orb. It will emit a color corresponding to the element you can use. It can also tell you how much mana you currently have depending on how brightly it shines. "
In this world every living being has mana, it is the source of magic. But not everybody can use mana or has the same amount of mana. It is what Grey called ki in his previous life. Because this world is a higher level than Grey's previous world the mana here is super abundant and pure, because of this the humans or other living beings here has more lifespan and can get stronger quickly compared to his previous world.
Grey just directly touched the orb with his right hand. When his hand made contact with the orb it only shined a little and did not emit any color.
"Looks like you don't have affinity for any of the elements son and your mana is average for your age, don't worry son you can still take the path of the sword like your father, this doesn't determine your future." comforted Cynthia with a loving and caring smile.
"I know mom don't worry." replied Grey with a warm smile. "I'm a martial artist anyway not a mage and I can just accumulate mana with the use of Tyrannical Heaven art." thought Grey.
"So since that's done tell us about your skills then." said Hale.
Grey nodded and said "I have 3 skills dad, which are Growth, Limit Break, and Evolve origin."
"Damn! Really? Because of the skills Growth and Limit Break you can basically grow stronger and stronger! HAHAHAHAHA as expected of my son," Hale roared with laughter.
Cynthia was looking at Grey with eyes full of happiness for her son.
Grey's eyes were full of love when he saw his parents reaction. "even when in this worlds standards I'm basically average, their still so happy." thought Grey. Since in his previous life he didn't have any family, this was his first time feeling familial love, because of this, he couldn't stop thanking the 12 heavenly saints even in his sleep!
The 12 heavenly saints would definitely puke blood in the afterlife if they knew of Grey's thoughts.
In this world if you have 0-5 skills your potential is average, 6-10 skills potential to be a genius, and 10-15 skills potential to be a genius among geniuses.
"What's the use of your Evolve origin skills?" asked Hale.
"It says that I can forcibly evolve the class or race of someone without any side effects." said Grey.
When the couple heard what Grey said they stood there dumbstruck.
"R-really?" they said at the same time.
Grey just smiled lightly lifted up both his arms with palms open as his left hand was in front of Cynthia and his right hand in front of Hale.
"Evolve Origin."
Suddenly both of them felt something change as they looked at their palms in shock while excitement filled their eyes, but before they could express it, their gaze suddenly turned solemn as they looked at Grey.
"Grey, remember to not say to anyone under any circumstances that you have this skill." Hale said solemnly.
"Ok dad" replied Grey nonchalantly while still smiling.
"Grey, please promise mom to do what your dad just said, this is a very important matter." Cynthia also said solemnly.
"Grey, in this world bloodline and class are important, It can decide their future. Imagine, when one of the empires learns that you have this skill, they will want to get their hands on you no matter what and make you breed them superior soldiers and races."
When Grey heard his father's words he too became solemn. He underestimated the importance of class and race in this world.
"Yes father, I understand." said Grey solemnly. "Good" replied Hale with a smile and didn't warn Grey again because he knew that his son is more mature compared to other children his age.
"Did you awaken your class already Grey?" asked Cynthia with a smile.
"Yes mom, I got the swordsman class." replied Grey
In this world some people will awaken a class between ages 4-14. the class you awaken will be the best class suited for you. If you reach the age of 15 and still had not awaken a class, then you can only be a normal human in this life.
"Hooh, then start training with me tomorrow." said Hale.
"Yes dad!" replied Grey eagerly.
