Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Lyrian fell into a type of meditative trance and cultivated for a few more minutes before opening his eyes once again, breaking his concentration from the cultivation.

After opening his eyes he could no longer feel the mana in his system. Clenching his fists, however, Lyrian felt a hint of newfound power.

Although it was barely recognizable, it was definitely there.

This caused a small grin to appear on his face. He wanted to cultivate more right now but also knew that it would be too dangerous if his parents found out.

Lyrian thought that there was a clear reason why they were hiding the books from him, and no matter what that reason was, letting them find out that he had stolen them would cause him to feel guilty, and might even result in some sort of punishment.

He didn't care about the punishment, however, as he had gone through enough of that, and these people were his parents after all.

What he did care about was the bad impression that they would have of him. He wanted to avoid making his parents feel disappointed at any cost.

Although this was true, what Lyrian did not know was that creating his own style of mana absorption was something that no normal person could do.

In fact, it hadn't been in the records of humanity for several millennia…

He was able to do this not with the help of the system, but due to his ill knowledge of the subject, and also his sheer will, something unique to only him.

'I will have to find a place and time to cultivate on my own.' Lyrian thought to himself.

'Gear.'

[Yes?]

'Open up the quest menu.'

Lyrian took a look at the Workout sub-quest that was a part of the main quest of Becoming Stronger before beginning to complete each task one by one.

Of course, he was only a child, so completing them wouldn't be easy. It wasn't like he had a choice anyway though.

<Two years later.>

Seasons passed by like feathers in the wind. During that time, Lyrian had focused on becoming stronger, completing his tasks every day, while also making sure he cultivated here and there when he had the time.

Currently, he stood inside his room after completing his second to last set of push-ups for the day, hands on his bare waist with sweat dripping down his body.

For a 6-year-old, his body was definitely toned. Nothing extreme, but athletic.

He stood at the height of 3ft 11in (119.38 cm), with blonde hair and a pair of brilliant azure eyes.

'Gear, tell me how much progress I've made with the mana.'

[Current mana in core: 10.00231/100]

Lyrian sighed in exasperation. The progress with his body had been good so far, but his mana was far behind.

His cultivation technique, which he named 'Gale', wasn't horrible, as he had made enough progress to feel it in his body whenever he moved, but that might have just been from the workouts themselves.

Mostly, he blamed not having the time to cultivate, as he rarely was allowed to leave the house.

But recently, his mother had begun to become more lenient with him leaving on his own.

Just the other day, Grasus and Rosa were having a conversation with each other about the things they disagreed with. It was something they did often to resolve any conflicts between them.

That's when Grasus brought up the fact that I was inside too much.

"Listen, the boy needs to get out and make some friends. You can't just expect him to stay inside all day."

Rosa wasn't pleased to hear this, being the over-protective person that she was.

"Why can't I expect that? Don't you know how they treat us? How do you think they will treat him?" He said in a worried tone.

Grasus paused for a moment before speaking. He knew that she had a point, but also knew that there were other, more important things.

"We just have to ask him to be careful. He is a very smart boy, a genius in fact! He will understand. And besides, having a little trouble here and there will toughen him up a bit."

As he said this, Grasus noticed Rosa's face turn to one of confusion. It was almost screaming 'Are you serious right now?' to his face.

He quickly tried to make up for it.

"You know what my father used to say to me? Take a spoon, dig it into some gravel, take a bite, and toughen the hell up, brat!"

He proudly proclaimed, but quickly realized that he made a mistake when he saw Rosa's disappointed look.

"Your father was a war general!" She yelled, making Grasus laugh nervously and scratch the back of his head as he thought of other ways to make up.

Their conversation continued for a while, but in the end they had decided to let Lyrian go out on his own from time to time, of course, not without time restrictions and other rules.

Lyrian had left the house and explored the city a couple of times by now. In truth, all he was doing was looking for a place to cultivate.

Friends? What even were those? How does one make friends? He didn't have a clue.

Right now, he was focused on power and power only.

After resting enough, Lyrian dropped back down and completed his final set of the day.

'98…99…100!'

*Ding* [Congratulations! You have completed your Workout quest for the day]

'Hmm? Gear doesn't usually congratulate me for this task.'

*Ding* [365th workout completed!]

On the latest panel, Lyrian noticed a new tab at the top named "Status".

On opening it, a new panel appeared in front of his retinas.
