It's been six years since I awakened the achievement system, and during that time I've dedicated myself exclusively to training and strengthening myself. Thanks to this, my father decided to continue my training to become a Holy Knight. It turns out the previous training was more of a family affair.
For a 12-year-old, you could say I'm at the peak of my strength. I'm a little afraid of exceeding that limit because I might atrophy or something, but that doesn't mean I'm far behind in terms of stamina and strength. After all, I can now use the deadly sword without any problem.
I remember when I got the sword, I couldn't lift it, even though it seemed so easy to use in the game. That's probably because it's made of space steel. According to the information about the sword, it shouldn't weigh more than 8 or 9 kg, but that's not true. With that shape, size, and material, it's quite heavy.
Also, since it was a gift from the system, I couldn't keep it in the system, since I didn't exchange it with PL. It was hard to keep my family, whom I inherited from a slave, and to keep it, but I managed.
And there I am, in a field, training, desperately, for my goal.
Speaking of the system, I currently have 400,000 LP, as I've achieved four major milestones over the years. The first was learning the Manmayer family sword style, which earned me 100,000 LP. Later, thanks to family conveniences, I managed to acquire the rokushiki training method, of which I have learned three of the six styles: soru, geppo, and tekkai. I'm not interested in the other styles, and I don't think I'll have the time to learn them. It's worth mentioning that I'm not an ultra-master in these styles, due to my age and my 100% dedication, but I learned them, and that gave me 300,000 LP.
So learning special skills or techniques gives me LP, and I currently have my sights set on two items in the system, the first, a cultivation pill, and the second, the fountain of eternal youth.
The first one costs 500,000 LP, and the second one costs 1,500,000 LP. It's something I can afford, and I think I can get it, unlike Excalibur or EA, which cost 9,999,000,000 LP. Totally out of my reach; in fact, they're some of the most expensive items in the system. It must be the peculiarity of the worlds: there must be a lot of cultivation worlds and a lot of fountains of youth for them to be so quote-unquote cheap, since I've only gotten 400,000 LP in these 6 years. Very slow.
But the important thing is that I have health and a way to travel from one world to another, so if it leaves chaos and destruction in its wake, I'll just get the hell out of here. The only problem is that the function is time-based. In other words, since the system came along, I need 20 years to be able to travel to another world, so I can leave at 26. In the meantime, I'll try not to destroy the world.
There are only two things I don't like, the first is that I can't take anyone from this world to another, only I can travel, because if someone else goes with me they can deviate from the path that the system can surely grant me, if someone else comes they will most likely deviate and disintegrate into the void of nothingness.
The second is that if I leave this world, I'll most likely never be able to return to the previous one. The system explained to me that the multiverse is like a box of moving marbles, where the marbles represent the worlds or universes, and since everything is in motion, the world will be there at that moment and then disappear, as it collides and changes direction.
So I need to do and learn everything this world has to offer before I leave, because the moment I leave, I'm not coming back.
At that moment I heard someone shout at me: "Dante, I challenge you to a duel."
It was Alexander with Dianna, my younger sister and the youngest of the 5 siblings.
Dante: "I don't want to. I've already beaten you, and I gain nothing by sweeping the floor with you again."
Alex grew frustrated at my words, stood in front of me, and adopted a combat stance. I ignored him, and when I realized he was very close, I repositioned myself, dodged his attack, and struck him in the stomach with the training sword I had.
My opponent flew, not very far, since I didn't give him much force, but enough that he couldn't continue fighting. With all the training I've done in my life, I'm way ahead of where I should be in every aspect.
But I knew I couldn't let it get to my head, at least not too much, and that I could be very strong for some and an ant for others.
Speaking of beings stronger than me, calculating their ages, I decided to compare myself to Shanks, since my age isn't that different from his. Roger's pirates are making a name for themselves and will soon be the first to acquire One Piece. So he must be around 13 or 14 years old, so I don't have much time left before I leave here.
When thinking about life on the high seas, there are generally two paths: the first is to become a pirate, and the second is to become a sailor. There's also the revolutionary army, but, ironically, almost no one takes that path.
But I was different. From my perspective, I didn't want to be trapped between those two possibilities, since in the first, I could never be seen as a 100% hero, and in the other, I was controlled by a hierarchy. Instead, I wanted something in between: the freedom to roam this world, bring justice, and help ordinary people.
I knew it wouldn't be easy, or else I would free all the slaves in the Holy Land right now, but I can't, right now, but I also don't want to start a massacre against these people, because I feel that, even if they are scum, it's not the right thing to do, not to mention that my blood family is among these people.
At that moment, I felt a presence behind me. It was my older brother and firstborn of the family, Ramses Manmayer.
Ramses: "I see you are practicing fencing," at that moment I see that he had two swords, a meito, which his father gave him, and the mortal sword, which was mine.
He throws the Mortal Sword at my feet and says, "Practice with me now, I'm bored and have nothing to do," and then looks at me like a predator watching its prey: "It's more fun tormenting my little brothers."
At that moment I felt the real annoyance, since this guy is 18 years old, he's already big and smelly enough to do that, not to mention he never holds back.
These are the moments when I can't stop counting the time until I can leave this horrible place.
