Chapter 4: Roa Gurellat
Opening his status panel, the transparent interface clearly displayed:
[Character: Roa Gurellat]
[Age: 2]
[Strength: G]
[Agility: G]
[Stamina: G]
[Intelligence: D]
[Talents: Pure Body (Stage 1), Fool (Stage 1), Greed]
[Skills: Intermediate Magic Knowledge, Swordsmanship (Uninitiated)]
Roa opened the world capture interface, and a line of small text appeared before his eyes.
[Power of Time and Space: 50/100 (Cannot Capture World)]
The most crucial function was world capture. According to the system's explanation, it would split off a small part of his soul to travel to another world as a stowaway.
When he completed relevant tasks or significantly altered the worldline in that world, the system would begin to steal the world's origin power and feed it back to the system. If done well, he could quickly unlock the next world.
In the Main God Space, the system would grant its lackeys things called points and exchange permissions.
However, for Roa, he could recall his soul and, depending on the situation, choose a few powers from his other-world self.
He didn't know the specifics of the operation, as he hadn't initiated his first world capture yet.
The Power of Time and Space would grow slowly under natural conditions, but the speed was astonishingly slow. Two years had passed, and it had only increased by less than a hundred.
In this world, Magic included healing magic, attack magic, and summoning magic. The ranks were Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Saint-level, King-level, Emperor-tier, and God-tier, in that order.
The activation methods were divided into incantation and magic circles. Attack magic, upon reaching a certain level, could earn titles such as "Saint-level Magician" or "Emperor-tier Magician."
There were three mainstream swordsmanship schools: Sword God Style, Water God Style, and North God Style.
The common designation for the founders of these schools was to add "God" after the school's name.
The ranks were also divided into seven levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Saint-level, King-level, Emperor-tier, and God-tier.
Although he had an extremely high talent for magic, he was limited by books and had stopped at Intermediate magic.
Magic was a wondrous thing, possessing great plasticity. By guiding the Magic Power within the body and then converting it into various powers through fixed incantations.
It could be Wind, Fire, Water, or Earth, or it could be divine healing power.
In short, Magic Power was the source of all magic, much like a car's engine.
Roa's talent was exceptional; even "monstrous" couldn't describe his abnormality.
He had photographic memory and learned anything instantly.
He learned to walk at two months old, could speak simple words at four months, and at six months, under Lilia's astonished gaze and the Paul couple's joyful smiles, he was reading magic books on his own.
In conclusion, Roa was a person with an extremely abnormal learning talent.
Unfortunately, this somewhat immature shota face was, for some reason, a poker face.
It wasn't that Roa lacked inner complexity; on the contrary, his inner monologues were abundant. It was just that, for some unknown reason, his face always maintained a calm and indifferent expression.
It was a cold expression, or even when he was genuinely happy and wanted to smile, the corners of his mouth would only curl into a cold smirk. This smile once made the Paul couple believe they had somehow displeased him.
After spending more time with him, they finally understood that this was actually his way of expressing happiness, not a cold smirk.
A blonde-haired, golden-eyed, poker-faced shota was incredibly lethal.
Although Roa didn't excessively conceal himself and showed his precocious nature early on, completing many things on his own, the oblivious Paul couple never suspected their son and were even proud of his talent.
Roa didn't cause the foolish Paul couple any worry either. Currently, his main focus was on Magic Power training.
Release magic, deplete Magic Power, and then the capacity of this body could increase by a fraction.
Roa's body had an unexpectedly large capacity for Magic Power. To put it simply, when he first started learning magic, despite being a beginner, he needed to cast several Intermediate spells to completely drain his Magic Power.
But as the container within his body grew, Intermediate spells eventually became insufficient for his consumption.
Thus, he began to tinker.
Now, he was experimenting with a novel technique.
He named it Magic Sword.
Everyone's Magic Power was different, each with its own characteristics, and the amount required to convert into magic and release varied.
In short, there were differences between Magic Powers; this was a difference in quality.
Then Roa discovered that the quality of his Magic Power was surprisingly high, though somewhat peculiar.
How to put it? Logically, Magic Power couldn't exist independently; it could only serve as fuel to release magic.
But he was different; his Magic Power was extremely bizarre, appearing directly in its raw form. It possessed immense destructive power and malleability.
While appearing as raw Magic Power would significantly increase its lethality, it would simultaneously cause a substantial increase in consumption.
The Magic Sword was a Magic he developed based on the principles of his own Magic Power.
Roa flipped his wrist, and a jet-black dagger appeared in his soft, pale, and tender hand.
The jet-black dagger was composed entirely of Roa's jet-black Magic Power, with dark patterns on its surface. Its destructive power was immense.
According to the magical norms of this world, a fully realized Magic Sword's damage could be classified as King-level Magic.
The higher the level of Magic, the more time it required, the harsher its activation conditions, and the longer the caster's preparation time.
Although it was possible to cast instantly like Rudeus, that was only for low-level Magic. To cast high-tier Magic, one still had to recite the long incantation for preparation.
And it was also related to the surrounding environment.
But the Magic Sword was different; it was instantaneous.
As long as his Magic Power could keep up, it could theoretically annihilate a town in an instant.
Instantaneous, the kind that turns everything into nothingness.
Ultimate destructive power.
Roa played with the Magic Sword in his hand for about an hour before his Magic Power was finally depleted. His powerful mental strength prevented him from falling unconscious; he merely let out a languid yawn, feeling somewhat drained.
Sighing, he walked towards the door.
Lilia, the maid with a great figure, was doing chores in the living room. Paul had been accompanying Zenith lately, as Zenith's condition had been poor, and it was clear she was about to give birth to another child soon. Cleaning such a large house would be a lot for Lilia alone.
