Several hours after passing out, Cynrik awoke to a splitting headache. Trying to get his bearings, he slowly sat up and looked around the room and quickly noticed nothing was out of order except that he was not in his bed but instead still in the center of the room. With a glance, he saw that Brance was seated on his bed with his eyes closed and legs crossed. ‘This asshole didn’t even toss me a pillow. It was the least he could do. So what, did he just watch me pass out and go about doing his own…

Continuing with their regular schedule, the boys’ progress took a sharp turn; they had begun making several small breakthroughs with their affinities and, as a result, were breaking through supposed bottleneck after bottleneck, and their Essence points clearly showed this. However, with the addition of multiple random event quests and regular daily quests, they were far from ordinary level 5 humans, let alone that they hadn’t even reached middle school. Usually, a child between the ages of five and…

For the next three months, Every day after school, the boys would come home to practice using their affinities, where they quickly learned just how big of freaks they indeed were in their parent’s eyes. Affinity training which was a process that took years and years was quickly shattered by the seemingly two in a lifetime geniuses named Brance and Cynrik. They both quickly broke record after record in their parent’s books with their manipulation and formation of their elements, and within two weeks,…

Making his way to the kitchen absentmindedly, Cynrik stumbled upon the scene of both his parents sitting at the table already with serious expressions. At the same time, Cinyah had her typical serious parent look; Rikard was sporting a nice-sized lump on the left side of his head, which Cynrik presumed was given to him by his Mother. Seeing the both of them looking so serious, Cynrik stopped in the middle of the hallway, causing the franticly trying to catch up Brance to run directly into his brother’s…

‘Come on, you mother fucker spin faster.’ Finally, after over an hour of effort, Cynrik was starting to get discouraged. He realized he could not make the Mana churn more quickly than its present state for the last ten minutes. The speed at which the Mana was swirling within the Affinity Orb was its terminal velocity. So no matter what he did, it was impossible to increase the filtration speed. Just as he felt his stamina begin to bottom out, a change occurred within the Orb, causing an almost…

Carefully Cynrik sifted through the multitude of colored stones housed in the chest, and after several minutes much to his joy, had found not only one or two affinity orbs but instead more than a dozen orbs. There were several duplicate elements, but that didn’t bother him one bit. In theory, if he could secure all of them, he could make a fortune. While his older brother was doing something extremely unethical, he couldn’t help but feel the excitement rush inside himself. Brance quickly made his…

Upon making his way through the crowd towards the nearest stall, Cynrik activated his Inspect Skill, which was currently Tier 1. A wealth of information appeared in the form of system windows that hovered over each item laid out on the small wooden table before him. Items and skill books of all kinds appeared neatly spread out on the table. Recently Rikard had taken Cynrik to their town’s Skill book shop, where he came to realize relatively quickly that not only would his Inspect Skill show him a…

The world seemed to disappear in boys’ perception as they only had eyes for their new Watcets. With movements that could be perceived as experienced, both Cynrik and Brance quickly put on their new devices, much like someone from their world would an everyday watch with a clasp. With both devices secure on their wrists, a loud DING drew their parents out of the conversation they were currently involved still in full swing. Much to their horror, the boys had just ripped the devices from the packaging and…

“Quick, open up my present, Brance, hurry up,” Cynrik, who was seated next to his 5-year-old little brother, squealed excitedly. As if following his older brother’s orders, Brance took the small, crudely wrapped box and tore the paper revealing a small booklet the size of an adult’s palm. It was a thin blue booklet that only held fifteen to 20 pages, but its contents bore faint traces of Mana. “Tier 0 Basic Swordsmanship,” Brance read aloud with sparkling eyes. Putting the book aside, he…
