Chapter 11: The Power Of Skills Is Out Of This World
—–
Ever since then, my mother let me visit father in the farm after asking them multiple times to give me these fruits as baby food. Why? Because they were tasty as hell! On a side note, I have also been eating more dragon meat for almost a month now.
The apples were sweeter than anything I had ever eaten and filled me with a great amount of stamina I never thought I could possess. The tomatoes were also sweet, juicy, and a bit citric. They’re definitely ideal for a nice salad, although mother also made delicious pasta sauce with it, adding minced dragon meat into it. The noodles were also special, made with some kind of Golden Wheat, something father brought from the farm.
In any case, from what I’ve learned so far, father and mother are ridiculously strong. Mother specializes in healing, protection, plus strong offensive magic based on the element of light and life, I believe.
On the other hand, father is a fire specialist who’s also crazy buff. To think he would be able to wrestle against a giant 30-meter-tall dragon like nothing and slice its head off with his magic fire sword…
In my previous life magic also existed. I didn’t even know the name of my previous world, but I knew the name of the continent. It was named Cadania, a place ruled by aristocratic rulers. The “monsters” as I’ve seen them here were very rare in that continent, only seen inside special places named crypts.
Magic was also common, but I’ve never seen such crazy magic as the one in this world in my previous life. In my previous life, magic was very hard to conjure, even the most talented nobles with magic bloodlines required years of experience to master magic, on top of that, they were limited by their mana pool. That’s probably why magic artifacts were invented and abused to extend one’s magical capabilities.
…..
Well, I don’t know how this world works, so I can’t say much about it. However, there seems to be some kind of tiered system for magic spells and martial techniques. In my previous world, there was no such things like that. Then again, there was a type of stronger magic classified through circles. If I remember correctly, Eight Circle Magic was the strongest.
If we compare this Eight Circle Magic with Tier 8 Magic, which my mother conjures without even breaking a sweat, then we can say that my parents could quite literally be living gods of magic. Plus, they don’t even become exhausted when they conjure it.
Just how much mana do they have? Maybe having infinite mana is not special?!
Even then, they did say they had a very hard time in the war against the Demon Lord and his Demon Army, although this whole time I’ve barely gotten any info on that.
Moving all of that aside, I’ve been developing bit by bit. Eating these magic foods really boosted the growth of my strength even though I’m not even a year old. Though, I think I’m halfway to getting there, being half a year old. Nevertheless, I have still developed quite a lot.
My control over magic is also becoming better, although it still took time and exhausted me when I go over my limit. Having infinite mana doesn’t make one infinitely better at magic, after all. If I think of it from another perspective, having infinite mana is equivalent to a carriage with horses that don’t tire out, but would still require being taught how to obey their owners and react to commands.
Due to that, a lot of experience and practice is required. What I did against the radish exhausted me a lot back then, with me resting for a whole week after that. My brain and soul felt so exhausted I could barely move. Then again, the dragon meat and the magic fruits helped me recover.
So yeah… I can’t be too reckless with this. I still have to put in a lot of effort.
Effort, the word I learned from my teacher back then, the most important word I should always remember. Nothing is achieved without effort! Even with my cheats, I must put in extra effort to learn and utilize my powers. I consider myself quite the hard worker! Through this past month or so, I’ve been passively training Mana Usage while rolling around.
Mother doesn’t allow me to use Ember because I could burn the house if I use it. With that, I’ve been only practicing it sometimes when she carries me outside and some walking vegetables escape the farm. However, I’ve begun to believe this was done intentionally by my parents to let me practice fire magic and have fun with it, although the aftermath is me becoming exhausted for several days.
Having a baby body is the worst. Not only that, my soul also seems to be weak according to the System due to it being that of a “mere and simple human”. She had analyzed a bit of my parents’ power, actually. Although she told me it was too much for her to handle at the moment, she did say their souls were abnormally large.
On the other hand, my soul was tiny in comparison. Apparently, the larger the soul, the less mental exhaustion you experience while using magic. There’s no way for me to enlarge my soul as of now, I doubt there’s even a way, aside from… I don’t know, eating souls? In any case, I don’t possess such power like that.
So, I have to do with what I have for now!
And… hehehe.
Aside from Ember, I have another skill I possess, one I have been ignoring because it didn’t work without a specific material, which were seeds.
That’s right… It’s my Farmer-class signature skill, Agriculture!
Aside from making me strangely knowledgeable about the properties of plants, as well as their qualities and conditions, this skill apparently lets me control plants, enhance them, and quite literally make them grow.
I don’t know if my parents have this since I haven’t seen father nor mother use any power like this, so this must be my unique power compared to them which they do not have!
Father just uses basic farming techniques and rich soil to make the plants grow, but that’s not a superpower. Instead, he learned all of this from grandpa, which he told me.
Anyways, now that I’ve stealthily gathered seeds from the fruits I’ve eaten, it’s time to test out Agriculture!
