Chapter 2: Childhood
The marry couple is really nice but strict. I mean the wife makes all learn basic stuff like cooking, cleaning, and even laundry.
It keeps us really busy. I mean since there's about 25 of us, all the ages of 6 through 17. Once we turn 18, they find us a job and place to live. Then they find a younger foster child to help.
I mean the husband owns a Multi Billion Dollar company. I think that one of the reason why this marry couple can legal take care of so many fosters children.
He teaches us more complicated stuff. Like Money management, basic house repairs, and basic manual labor(ex: cutting the yard or cutting down trees).
We live a decent, no a great life. We even go to a private school. I mean is the American Foster System is actually working.
Another thing I learn that this world is slightly different. Apparently gates have been open for over 25 years. It also a common occurrence back then to be an awakener but still it only like 1 out of 10000.
Apparently, it like was like a 9 to 5 job back then. They get salary, and work hours. Well it is a more common job then but everyone that has awaken in the first 15 years or so have all been all weaker than A rank.
The firsts S rankers have only appeared after 15 years. Around when the Kamish Dungeon appeared, it was dubbed as the strongest and first S rank dungeon.
People think that S rankers only started to appear because of the dungeon. Then awakeners started to become rarer.
People they call "Mana Scientists" had a theory that mana had gotten denser making only certain people able to absorb and become hunters while those that can't handle this denser mana have a high chance of going into "Entrenal Slumber".
Well, I knew the truth. It was the start of the plot and originally when dungeons where supposedly to appear. This all happened around when i was 8 years old.
But now I am 14. I had spent all my years learning from my foster parents. I also read a lot of books. I mean who knew that children had so much free time.
School was a breeze since in my past life I was had a master of electrical and aerospace engineering. I mean become an engineer is hard so this school level subject is a breeze.
I used to make planes and electronics stuff for planes. I mean I was pretty successful, but that doesn't matter now.
My foster parents noticed my smarts for the STEAM majors. They asked me what I wanted to become. I told them that I didn't know.
Well I knew I was going to become a hunter but I didn't tell them that. They would be concerned as nowadays being a hunter is a dangerous job compared to the past.
Well even being a awakened nowadays is like winning the lottery. The chances of even being higher than D is like winning the lottery three times in a row. Much less an S ranker which are treated like the hugest of celebrities and most important people in the world.
But I new that I would awaken as an S ranker. Well actually I was much stronger, but they couldn't measure past A rank. They just assumed that all S ranks are equal which isn't true.
I mean that why they created National rank. Which currently only 5 people are in that category. I mean I am going to be even stronger than them, but they probably won't create a new rank for me.
Well currently I still have 4 years till I awaken. I wonder should I move to Korea? I mean that where the story starts. I can even meet them.
Yea, but for now I should sign up for some sword class like kendo, or is it called Kenjutsu. Maybe I should do some fencing classes.

(2 Years Later)
"And Licht Bach Takes The Win!!!!! This Makes Him One Of The Youngest Champions In History!!!" The announcer said
I had just won a kendo world wide championship. 2 years ago I asked my Foster Parents to take me to Kendo Classes since I was bored and wanted to be something fun.
Turned out Licht Bach sword mastery talent is no joke. In just 2 years, I had join the big leagues and won a world championship.
I am now 16, and considered a one of the greatest swordsmen in the world. I have even met Cha Hae-in at this tournament. We talked a little, over these years I had learn multiple languages. I can speak Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and French with fluency.
I don't know why but it seems my intelligence has risen a lot. I also won the first place prize of a million dollars. I tried to repay my foster parents when I got home but they didn't accept since they didn't do it for the money.
Now I wasn't sure what to do next. I mean I was still in high school, but I could applied for early graduation.
I was popular, I mean I had looks, the body, the grades. I wasn't that social, but I was like that silent kid that everyone was friends with.
People would ask me to hangout all the time. Luckily, I always had an excuse. I mean my schedule consisted of practice, working, or my family needing me.
So, since I had friends but we aren't really that close, I decided to applied to graduate early. It was accepted almost immediately.
I told my Foster Parents the news. They were happy for me, and wondering what I would do next.
I told them that I'll be traveling abroad and visiting the world since I had the cash and time now. They were hesitant, I was only 16 but I had already accomplished so much.
My foster parents accepted on a few conditions. First I was to have a job or way to make money by the age 18. Second I must go to places that my foster dad, has access to.
My foster dad has a multi billion dollar business that world wide. So this wasn't really a problem. I mean in America I am still a minor. So they wanted to keep me safe.
Lastly, I can only travel by plane. They said something about Boat being harder to find and bring to land. That fine, since they sea seems annoying to travel through anyways.
Then after a few weeks i graduated and started to get ready for my travels. The first place I was going to visit is Korea. I mean I already knew a person their and they can show me around. Who knows maybe I'll see someone interesting.
==========
[A/N: I was think of having him have an opportunity at Korea. That then let him stay there in Korea. As in the Manwha they didn't talk much about the other countries besides of America.]
