Read Infinite Source Mage :: THE REINCARNATION

Bell's head was filled with confusion and questions as the orphanage lady's voice rang out, "Bell! Hey, Bell!" Startled, he snapped back to reality, his mind still reeling from the realization that he had been reincarnated as an orphanage boy. Why had he been reborn in such humble circumstances? Why was he stripped of his former power and knowledge? The answers eluded him, shrouded in a mysterious veil.

Caught in his thoughts, Bell's daydreaming was abruptly interrupted as the orphanage lady grabbed his ear, pulling him back to the present. She scolded him for his laziness, her voice filled with frustration. "Hey! I didn't raise you here just so you could slack off! Go and chop some wood in the back, and I better not catch you slacking off, or else you won't even have rice tonight."

Bell nodded silently, his inner confusion simmering beneath his facade. He made his way to the back, retrieving an axe and some wood to cut. As he gripped the axe, he realized the weight was too much for his fragile new body.

Frustration seeped into his thoughts. "Ugh, how is this body so frail and weak? If only I could just..."

His mind drifted to memories of his former self, the powerful mage he once was.

The idea of being ordered around by a mere commoner gnawed at him. Bell closed his eyes, attempting to tap into his old methods of harnessing mana. But to his shock, he found himself devoid of any magical energy.

Confusion clouded his thoughts. "Huh?! What?! I don't have any mana?! No... that can't be possible. I am the great and all-powerful mage. How is this body that weak?"

As the realization settled in, Bell managed to regain his composure. He decided to gather what little mana he could from the surroundings. Sitting on the ground, he closed his eyes, taking deep breaths and focusing his concentration, hoping to draw in some magical essence.

Unfortunately, the village he now resided in had an incredibly low mana presence. Defeated, Bell gave up his attempt, accepting his current limitations.

Returning to the orphanage, Bell faced the consequences of his lackluster woodcutting performance. Bread became his provided food for the night, and he was confined to an old dusty room as punishment.

Determined to make the most of his circumstances, Bell's thoughts turned to exploration. "Now, let's see if there's anything useful I should know here," he pondered.

His eyes fell upon a white book with a black star symbol on its cover, its pages coated in layers of dust. "pwoo, pwoo" Blowing away the particles, Bell gently patted the book clean before opening it. The first page was blank, but as he turned to the second, his eyes widened at the words inscribed upon it: "M.O system."

A dark aura suddenly burst from the pages of the book, startling Bell and causing him to jump back in surprise. "Ahh!" he exclaimed, dropping the book as the text vanished from its pages. Confusion swirled within him as he questioned the nature of the mysterious M.O system. "What the hell was that M.O system?" he wondered aloud.

*Bzzz* A strange buzzing sound filled the air, catching Bell's attention. He looked around, bewildered, trying to identify its source. Then, a voice echoed through the room, seemingly originating from nowhere. "Access confirmed," the voice announced, sending shivers down Bell's spine.

"Huh?! What? Huh? Where did that voice come from?" Bell exclaimed, his eyes darting around the room in search of its source.

Suddenly, a vibrant blue holographic image materialized before Bell, displaying the words "System M.O" in bold letters. It introduced itself as his personal guidance, a helper to fulfill his desires.

"What? Huh?" Bell confused, his mind struggling to comprehend the situation before him. The hologram displayed his personal information:

Bell's emotions were a whirlwind of surprise, excitement, and disappointment. He was thrilled by the title of his former status as the greatest mage, yet disheartened by his current title as a frail boy. However, curiosity ignited within him as he noticed the left side of the hologram, where the word "Stats" caught his eye.

Bell, intrigued, voiced his curiosity. "Stats," he said, and in response, the holographic display transformed to reveal his current statistics:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strength: 5 (+2)

Speed: 5

Vitality: 3

(locked)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, some stats are still locked. I guess I'll find out more later," Bell murmured to himself, a mix of confusion and anticipation filling his thoughts. As a former powerful mage, mysteries were always a pleasure to him, and this newfound connection to the M.O system promised a path to rediscovering his lost

abilities.

As Bell spent 20 minutes observing the M.O system, he realized that it could also serve as a cheat code assistant, providing him with answers to certain questions. However, he discovered that the system had limitations, preventing him from asking more complex questions. Suddenly, a notification from the system caught his attention. "Stat unlocked," it said, leaving Bell perplexed about what had just happened and why a stat had been unlocked.

Curiosity burned within him, and he couldn't resist asking the system for an explanation. "Why did I unlock a stat?" he asked. To his surprise, the system promptly responded, "It is because of your immense curiosity that you have unlocked the Intelligence stat. Do you wish to open stats?"

Grinning with delight, Bell replied, "Yes," eagerly anticipating the new capabilities he holds. The holographic display presented his updated stats:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strength: 5 (+2)

Speed: 5

Vitality: 3

Intelligence: 50 (includes knowledge about the system)

(Locked)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

in the middle of his amazement at the unfolding events, Bell couldn't help but admire the remarkable possibilities now open to him. His intelligence stat was notably high, but he understood the need for further improvement.

"System, are there stat points? If so, can I put them to specific stats?" he asked. The system promptly responded, "Indeed, there are stat points. You currently have 2 stat points. Would you like to use them?" Eager to enhance his intelligence further, Bell exclaimed, "Yes, put both points into my intelligence."

"Affirmative. Successfully put 2 points into your intelligence," the system confirmed.

The revised stats now appeared in front of Bell:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Strength: 5 (+2)

Speed: 5

Vitality: 3

Intelligence: 52

(Locked)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With a sense of contentment, Bell was happy on his newfound intelligence, knowing that there was still room for growth. However, his thoughts were interrupted by the stern voice of the orphanage lady,"Hey bell! come down already to bed," calling him from downstairs. Sighing, Bell replied, "Coming."

As Bell goes down the stairs, he was consumed by his thoughts, contemplating his next course of action. He remained puzzled by his reincarnation and the loss of his abilities. Lost in his thoughts, Bell's foot slipped on one of the stair steps, causing him to fall and scratch his knee. "Ouww," he exclaimed, tears shown in his eyes.

Unconcerned by the situation, the orphanage lady grabbed Bell's ear, causing him to cry out in pain. She vented her frustration, regretting the decision to take him in and comparing him unfavorably to other adopted children. Bell, trying to avoid escalating the situation, remained silent, keeping his head down.

The scolding seemed to last an eternity, but finally, the lady stopped her berserk and pulled Bell by the arm into a room filled with other children. The beds consisted of thin mats, old ragged blankets, and dirty pillows.

Sighing, Bell resigned himself to sleeping in these less-than-ideal conditions, his mind still filled with questions about his past and the path that lay ahead.
