Chapter 2 - § Current Origins §

My name is Atticus. Full name, Atticus Von Radars.

I am the youngest and the only child of this Radars branch family. I am three years old right now.

I don't know if it's confusing or not. But I'm actually a genius. Or I might be cursed. When I was two years old, I suddenly gained awareness.

It felt like a being was awakened inside me. My knowledge, understanding, intelligence and maturity seemed to be specially improved.

This wasn't due to an ability or power of some sort. It was like I changed from an complete infant to an adult or teenager in an instant.

I never told my parents about this nor did I behave any different from a child. But one thing definitely insulted me. I really despise having to such milk from a breast. And my mother is one happy woman.

Almost every passing hour, she would force me to suckle on her like a child. Oh... I am.

Anyway, foreign memories have started to surface in my mind. Some are somewhat scary. Some of them deliver emotion. I can almost feel the pain, sadness and others from this memories.

I sometimes go weeks without proper sleep. This problem has begun to get too much.

This world has great magic. And my parents seem like nobles. That being said, my old man is a great man. He is a good father as he is a powerful combatant.

His magic reserves are incredible too. His stamina - especially in bed, is notable. And I speak as an eye witness. My old lady is a satisfied woman if you know what I mean.

Speaking of her, she's an amazing mage. She doesn't usually use her powers. But I've noticed how strong she is.

I was hoping I inherited their power. And I sometimes train on my own. But the body I have is that of a child.

It doesn't take much time awake. And it doesn't sleep well because of nightmares. You can just wonder how exhausted I spend my days.

As for my training, I have at least started to sense my core and energy. I'd say it progress even if slow. Moat peoplw can do this at least at the age of seven.

But that's as far as I can go for now. I was hoping I can deal with these nightmares or memories.

The Radars family has a library. There's ome at the leader's house. And a small one at our house.

Like right now, I usually sneak in to read some books for my training.

"Lady Emma..!" I shouted as I got into the library. Emma is the a girl who is give library duties by my family. You may imagine her as a rather attractive thirteen year old girl.

But don't forget, in our country, she's almost old enough to marry. I must say, I curse my life, I wouldn't mind having her as my own.

She was raised by my grandfather after being rescued from a snowstorm. Anyway, she's really nice... and beautiful.

"Yes young master. My apologies for taking so long. How may I assist you today?" Emma said as she walked from behind a bookshelf.

Multiple books were floating around her as she occupied her hands with even more.

Her blonde hair looked a little dishevelled. I guess she has spent days without sleep again. Her emerald like eyes looked drained and exhausted, way more than mine.

She wore a long brown dress that cupped her melons well and showed her waist as if hugging an hourglass.

"Can I get another book please. Suggestions on magic and energy Manipulation can be pretty helpful most for me. Got any you wanna suggest?" I said as I approached her.

"Of course not young master. Here, I was just using these two ealier. You can also get one from the drawer of my desk before you leave." Emma handed me two books with hard brown covers.

"But I really am surprised. How come a three year old is so smart. I could almost say you have the mindset of a determined teenager." She said without turning to me.

"Thank you too Lady Emma. I really appreciate you above all else. You are the only one I share a secret with anyway." I sat down by her chair and turned the pages of one of the books in my possession.

Emma is the only person who knows my secret. She found me out when I snuck in here in the past.

She almost ousted me. But, as you know, you can take the horse to the river. But you can't make it drink. She failed miserably.

Since then, she and I have spent a lot of time together. Maybe that's why I've started to see her in a different light - don't ask what light that is.

In peaceful silence, we each went about reading our books. The library is a quiet place. Eather relaxing too.

There I can even train better.

I closed my eyes. Took in a deep breath and slowly out. I relaxed my body and emptied my mind.

As if in a deep state of deep meditation, my body felt lighter. I felt it flow through me. A warm feeling and a cool feeling. They converted in me and a soothing presence flooded my body and senses.

But something else, came with it. It felt like my body was being drained. It was straining itself as I stayed longer in the meditation state.

I had blocked out all disturbances from my mind. It was like I had shut down everyone of my senses. Hearing, seeing, feeling with my skin and smelling. All of them were nullified.

Suddenly I felt a strong force pull me out of my meditation. I was brought to my senses with my angel Emma's face before me.

"You brat..! Are you really trying to get me into trouble. Do you even know what you've done!" She pinches my cheeks hard as she said this.
