I was reborn into a fantasy world

I've been in this world for 2 years now.

I've already passed the baby stage and now I'm considered a toddler, and you know what that means?... Exactly, now I have more freedom.

Now I can go up to the second floor which gives me access to the room where they keep all the books in the house... Well, by all I mean the only 5 books in this house.

But here's the problem, even though I could access that part of the house and get my hands on those books of magic from this world, is that I don't know how to read the language of this world.

I mean, until that day I hadn't worried about it, my grimoire had the words written in Spanish which was my native language, although it would also change to English if I wanted, so the Grimoire translates into whatever language I know which is good.

But then I had to ask Zenith and Lilia to teach me how to read, I left Paul alone, it's not that he treats me badly and that's why I don't talk to him or anything like that, he actually treats me very well as if I were his son, but the adult and Otaku part of me can't help but feel jealous and envious of him for having Zenith and remembering how he deceives her in the original really bothers me.

But anyway, ignoring that and continuing with the topic, they agreed to teach me and even Paul sometimes teaches me, of course I didn't despise his help and now I can finally read alone without needing to ask for help because I don't understand a single word.

Oh, by the way, I'm getting along well with Lilia now, I mean she seemed to reduce her suspicions that I was some kind of cursed child or something, so she treats me more normally although sometimes she makes weird faces when I get ahead of myself and start asking questions that a child shouldn't know.

But well, you can't blame me, it's hard to act like a child all the time and I prefer that they satisfy my curiosity if I have the opportunity.

So that's it, I've already read the books of magic in this world, it's pretty simple and it seems like I was wrong because in this world there are magic circles, but they're not that common because people prefer to recite an incantation.

I don't know how their face doesn't turn red with embarrassment every time they do it, but hey that's a fantasy world for you.

But I still prefer magic circles, although this time I've been practicing conjured magic for as much embarrassment as it gives me, I've also been trying to shorten the incantation until I no longer need it.

Unfortunately it's very difficult, the first few times I tried the spell exploded, luckily I only used low-level magic and it was just water magic.

But I've been improving, that's all that matters.

So continuing with the topic of magic, these years I've continued reading and learning more things from the Grimoire, one thing I learned was how to know the amount of mana I possess.

I found it very useful because that way I can know when I'll be ready to rank up and I have to say that I'm not far from it and you could say that I'm progressing pretty fast.

I mean, in this world their mana doesn't have impurities like in the world where the Grimoire comes from so I avoided the part of purifying my mana, although it took me longer because I've been trying to increase the density of my mana more.

I feel like those cultivators where if I increase the density of my mana I can hit higher ranks for better quality and quantity of mana, although I don't think I can beat a mage with an amount of mana too much higher than mine, but to a mage with an amount of mana to cast intermediate rank spells, I think I can surpass him.

Although of course I'm only talking about quantity and quality of mana, since a battle is not only decided by who has more mana in most cases, but there are more factors to decide who wins.

But again ignoring that, I've finally finished reading all the information of a mage apprentice, it was pretty long, I thought it had no end and that makes me think how much information the following ranks will have.

I don't know how I'm going to manage to read them all, but well, being able to finish completing the first stretch of this is a small achievement for me, even if it turns out that this isn't even the first level and is just the introductory level according to the book.

Although if you think about it, it really wasn't that much, because even though it took me about 2 years to finish reading everything, I actually only read an hour each day and sometimes I had to reread something I had already read many times, because even though what is written in the Grimoire is a masterpiece and is well summarized, my mind sometimes doesn't fully understand everything I read at the beginning.

So well, now that I have more freedom to do things alone, now I can take out the Grimoire to read while Zenith, Lilia and Paul think I'm just reading their books.

Although now that's what I'm really doing since I've already finished the book and I just have to wait to rank up to unlock the next level of knowledge.

I'm not going to lie, saying it that way makes me feel like I'm in a video game, although that's just it I'm not one of those.

On the other hand I already know what the next level will be and it's the Mage rank, if that I already saw it coming since right now I'm a mage apprentice of course the next one will be to be a mage.

But well now I just have to wait and do it while reading the books of this house, although actually right now I'm looking at Paul training with his sword, really seeing that and having magic makes me remember that I'm in a fantasy world, not just in a medieval world.

While I was thinking for his part Paul was training and trying to look his best, I could tell the difference between the two as I had seen him train before and it wasn't that hard as he sometimes smiles while looking at me as if he was expecting a reaction from me.

After a while he stopped while sighing and wiping the sweat from his head, then he smiled at me and walked towards where I was.

"What do you think Kiel, wasn't it great?" - Paul asked me with a smile on his face.

Mentally I made a grimace, I already know where this is going and I'm not really disagreeing since the sword is every man's love, but to be honest, I prefer spears and I think it would be good for my first profession, which is a mage, so if I could create a spear that is a mage's staff, wouldn't that be two for one?

But getting out of my thoughts quickly I replied to Paul with a nod and a smile while getting up and saying.

"Yes, you were doing "fush" and then "fass" and "slash" it was very cool, Paul" - I said childishly while imitating Paul's movements with sounds, although at the end I called him by his name and that made him make a small grimace.

And if you're wondering, well after saying my first words that anyone could guess what they were by Zenith's reaction, but after that I called all the members of this house by their names and no matter how much they tried to change that I kept doing it.

Really my adult mentality or my pettiness want to avoid seeing them as parents... Most likely it's the second one.

"Oh oh, that's good and you have good moves there, tell me wouldn't you like to start learning swordsmanship?" - He said after seeing me imitate his movements.

"I can?" - I asked him and this was a sincere question, since I'm not supposed to be just a two year old kid, how come I could train?.

"Mmm, I was thinking of teaching you when you were older, but seeing you I don't think it's bad if I just start teaching you the basics from now on." - He said while having a thoughtful look on his face.

"Mmm then I would like to" - I nodded while mentally clenching my fist in celebration.

I'm not too worried about all the problems that could be training while I'm a child, since you know, magic and all that, it's pretty useful.

"Well, starting tomorrow we'll start teaching you the basics then" - He nodded looking happy after I accepted.

After that I went to my secret room on the second floor or rather the book room while thinking about my future.

'I'm supposed to at some point this year or something like that, Rudeus original should have made a mess after doing intermediate magic which led to hiring Roxy, but do I really want to do something like that?' - I thought, it's not that I don't want to follow the canon since I don't want to follow Rudeus's steps, but it's not like I could do anything else besides that I want to meet Roxy.

"'Decisions, decisions...' I thought, and after a while, I made up my mind.

I'm going to show off a little bit of magic, just the basic stuff. I could do more advanced spells, but I don't want to seem like a prodigy. I'll just do a simple spell and hope Zenith hires a mage.

'I really hope it's Roxy. If not, all this will have been for nothing.' - With that decided, I showed Zenith what I could do.

Needless to say, she freaked out. She and Paul started arguing, so Lilia had to step in. We decided I'd practice magic in the morning and swordsmanship in the afternoon.

'Okay, now all I can do is hope Roxy comes.' - I thought to myself as I went back to my room. Zenith and Lilia were in the kitchen."

Another chapter, I hope you like it and if you can, please let me know if there are any errors.

I just want to say, I'll try not to follow the canon too much, as difficult as it may be, but well, the nonexistence of Rudeus already made several things that were going to happen, now won't happen.
