A friend at birthday

A friend at birthday

Apr 11, 2025

So three years has passed since the crazy minotaur experience and though it may seem crazy I've learned to go there by myself and always sit at the weird symbol for at least 30 minutes .
 
But right now dad is teaching me on how the world works and the hierarchy power system of the wonderful world I was born in . 

So far I've learned that though there are people born with power greater than the rest it seems like that if people decide to work their hearts off they could not only rival them but even better them at the stuff they were born good at , 
With this knowledge dad has been constantly reminding me that even if I was born with the great power of legendary copycat people who knows how to do even the basic copycat move can eventually catch up to me if I don't constantly train my own copycat , and yes there are rarity and levels between all the moves/powers or as my dad would like to say talents . 


The information that my dad is teaching seems to be very important for my life but I just can't help but notice the small hooded figure that's trying to enter our house , oh it seems that dad has also noticed .


"Wh- What are you trying to do?", the hooded figure stoped hearing dad's voice ,
"You do know its the middle of the day , broad daylight , and... and you're even trying to use the front door", the hooded figure hurriedly ran away without letting dad say any other word . 

"You can come join us if you want", he shouted to the fleeing figure with arms high .

"What was that about? Well can't be too bad , So as I was saying to create or use all the talents that I've been describing to you , you need to sacrifice some of your mana that gets stored up in your core . Each time you cast an attack or defence using your talents your core will lose some of its mana the higher the impact of each talent the higher the cost of casting it , and don't forget that the core is located in between the brain and eyes so always protect your head . So , Shekrit can you sumarize all that in simple terms?"

"Umm... What to sumarize , I kind of lost track" I started sweating having only the thought of that fleeting figure ,
"The power system of this world" he looked dead in my eyes .

"Umm... I kind of forgot",
"Wh- What? You forgot" dad looked surprised .
"Ki- Kind of , hehe"

*sighs*"It's okay you're still a kid . Let's go over all that again",
"Agaiiin? I am tireddd",
"Okay how about we rest a little bit and then go to studying again",
"Yipeee" I jumped in joy .


Because our house is in the middle of the woods and far away from the nearest community I never thought that someone would try to break into our house much less find our house . Well I'm pretty sure that whoever they were they're long gone , kind of sucks I was looking if I could be friends with them .

After another boring study lesson it's finally dinner time , which reminds me what was the rarity lane again I think it went like basic , cool , epic , magma , frost , legendary , mythic then finally Divine Glade at the very top . And I'm pretty sure that the levels goes like bronze , silver , red , black then violet . 
At least that's what I think those goes like .

As we were heading inside and to the kitchen we see the hooded figure from earlier eating our food right in-front of our fridge .

"What are you doing?", dad yelled . 
But before we could do anything the hooded figure quickly ran through the window . 

"They sure made a mess of my broken fridge huh", thinks Sholji himself
"-Cake", I muttered in disbelief
"Huh?"

"They ate my cake", I got disappionted with tears in my eyes but not a single voice came out from within ,
"Wait- What?!" dad realized that there was almost nothing left in the fridge and that my 6th year birthday cake was gone .

"Do- Don't cry Shekrit we- I will get you another cake okay?"
With tears not being able to come out I just nodded in agreement .


We both headed to the nearest community which took us 2 hours by walking .

"Now where was that cake shop again?" after some time we finally found the bakery and ordered a new cake packing it up in a beautiful box .

The community was full of glitering lights with no lamp-posts and though there were many evil and suspicious looking people they were all just relying on each other for day-to-day business and food ,

As we were about to leave we saw the hooded figure at the foot of a dumbster , I hurried over to the figure worried "Are you okay?" 
"F-Food", the figure muttered "Lets take them to our home", I suggested because of my guts screaming as if they were about to tear apart ,
"Okay" .


After reaching and gathering at the dining table the figure finally woke up . "Are you okay?", I asked while dad was still busy cooking .

"Ye-Yeah", words bearly came out of their mouth .
"Clearly they are hungry so lets' let them eat first", said dad bringing the foods "So you can take off your mask now and those googles"

The food smelled delicious , warm as it is .

But before dad could continue the hooded figure put their hand over some apples and made them disappear .

I was shocked at the sudden act but they just continued on with the other foods as well "Umm... I guess that works" dad said hesitantly . I was still confused as to what was happening then dad explained to me that they were absorbing the food as in photosynthesis .

We all prayed for the food then started to eat , after the dinner we cut the cake and offered the hooded figure a piece "Here"

"I-I don't know if I should" their voice sounded muffled because of the mask they were wearing 
"Don't worry I don't mind and it is my birthday"
" Th- Then th-thank you", they immediately finished the cake , I was still surprised by the 'photosynthesis' act .

"So what's your name" I asked slowly nibbling at my piece of cake ,
"What I get called?"
"Yeah"

"It's usually burden , curse , monster , or ***** ***** ***** *****-"
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA", dad jumped all of a sudden "WHO SAID THOSE TO YOU"
"Um- my mo- mother and father" 
Dad looked really startled hearing those words .

"I kinda don't like that" I implied "I know what if I named you?"
"I- I won't mind" they accepted without much reluctancy .

And after much thought 'Vanessa' kept ringing in my mind ,
"How about Vanessa , oh I didn't ask for your gender are you a girl or a boy?"
"I- I'm a g- boy , a boy"

"So Vanessa won't suit you hu-"
"N- No , I- I like that name"
"But-"
"It's okay , I like it so I'll keep it",

They seemed to really reluctant to let of of the name Vanessa ,
"Hmm , Okay"

After that we wraped up and made Vanessa stay , he was hessitant at first but dad gave up his bed for him . But I wonder why his tears were coming through his googles or why he never took off his get up .
