Norther City of the kingdom of Albion, Helium
Wake up little baby why are you still sleeping, mommy needs to do the chores.
As I open the eyes of a 3-year-old boy, I look into the eyes of a woman long forgotten in the span of time and tears start to swell in my eyes, longing for that woman who gave birth to me my mother Clara Bluestone.
Mercele: mommy...
She looked at me and smiled knowing that I have woken up.
Clara: My baby boy has finally woken up, alright let me take you to your morning dinner.
As she took me towards the living room, I looked around and realized that it is indeed the once small house my family owned in the outer city of Helium.
While I was being emotional on my return to my homeplace, I sensed an approaching boy of around 7 to 8 years old looking similar to me.
Mercele tears up: second brother...
The boy that was approaching me and my mother smiled.
Mother, has little brother Mercele woken up?
Clara: Lucas you came where are your brothers and why are they not coming for the morning dinner?
Lucas: Mother, Eldest brother, and third brother went with father to tend to the inn, you know that there are a lot of magi students coming into the city for the upcoming registration at the magic academy of Helium on Friday and they need a place to lodge at during this time.
Clara: Oh, that's true well remember to ask them to not forget to eat and to come back after they are done.
Lucas smiled: Ofcourse mother would they even dare to do so.
Clara: They better not! Or else! Hmpf!
Second brother bitterly smiles: Oh my god, I should hurry up and help out or mother will really be angry at them later on.
Lucas looks over at his little brother.
Lucas: little bro you need to hurry up and grow up, only you can contain mother.
Mercele thinks: Don't worry second brother, once I have grown up all of you only need to be healthy and happy nothing more.
Clara yells: Alright dinner is done!
As we eat mother sighs at how the table is empty without the others.
Mercele and Lucas look at their mother and then at each other and, and they silently promise to make their mother happier in the future.
Second brother then looks at me.
Lucas shocked: huh?
Clara looks at Lucas: What is it why are you so shocked?
Lucas: Mother, I think my little brother is way too intelligent for a 3-year-old right?
Mercele quickly panics and starts to act silly and spoiled.
Clara laughs: Whats is wrong with my baby boy isn't he just the cutest little boy ever!
Lucas suspiciously looks at me but says no more for now.
After dinner, Lucas heads out to help at the inn.
Mother puts me on the ground to play with some wooden toys laying around on the ground.
After watching my mother going to the back of the house to do the chores of today, I have been thinking about my next course of action.
For starters, the city of Helium is quite peaceful, at least for it is.
However, as I recall there will be a lot of turmoil heading our way by the invasion of foreign races, which does not leave this city without its own issues.
Mercele sighs: It seems my work is laid out for me here; however, il be needing to focus on my own personal strength and start to practice magic in order to secure a better position in the upcoming disasters.
Currently, my magic control is practically none, meaning while I do have mana in my body like every normal human being, I have no way yet to control it and influence my surroundings as magicians normally would.
Magic within the continent is divided as follows: magic apprentice, senior apprentice, basic magician, master magician, primus archmage, higher archmage, and the higher realm of exalted mage.
My current situation allows me to reach the basic magician realm quite fast, without much external aid or resources needed to accomplish so.
This is naturally because of my practically omnipotent soul, however, a mage can have a terrifying soul and yet still be stuck in bottlenecks because various realms require different requirements that have to be addressed in order to overcome them and that will require better resources and thus, I am going to need a lot of wealth to do so.
Mercele sigh, fine let's start with my meditation and work my way up on the various obstacles ahead.
My path of redemption begins with the actions I take today, come on Mercele, you have been through worse!
As I think about my struggles of a different timeline, I think about my brothers, Raven my shadow guard, Marcus that silly brat that always wishes to outsmart others and trick them, Leon my silly prime minister that always worries about me, and Darius the commander of my army.
Brothers, don't worry my journey has begun, I will be searching for your younger self as soon as possible, we brothers will live and struggle together even in this timeline!
I then continue with my mental mediation and start to flow my mana reserve in the right direction, with the aim of building a good foundation for later.
