CHAPTER - 2
Information!
3 years have passed, I still don't know what happened back then, I had no information about that God either. I have some information about this world though. This world is in the medieval era and there are supernatural abilities called magic. I can also understand their language.
I was born as the 8th son in a noble family. No need to worry about money. My parents in this world named me Abel Von Échestel. Maybe God gave me a second chance but why in the medieval era? Why not the previous parents I have? Not to mention it’s boring here. All I do is:
-wake up
-look to the ceiling in my crib
-eat
-look to the ceiling in my crib
-eat
-look to the ceiling in my crib
-eat
-look to the ceiling in my crib
-sleep
Repeating this cycle every day! Can I survive to my adulthood? No. Probably not. Patience Jak-! I mean Patience Abel! Patience! Like people said,” Patience is the key.”
Oh yeah. I have this search engine. No one can see it. Isn’t this made of magic? I guess there’s invisible magic. Am I going to get assassinated?!? Hopefully not.
So this search engine. It looks like a hologram. I can see it, but I can’t touch it. No one can see it. No one can touch it. Is this God's blessing? It would be nice if I was reborn in my previous parents, Mr. God. With this search engine, I am going to get stronger with magic. And I’m gonna have a conversation with God. Hopefully, I will. Hopefully. This search engine knows almost everything, I’m confident I will get stronger.
…
Ok. So this search engine is really useful and annoying sometimes. Why annoying you ask? Well, you see. The problem with this search engine is… I have to wait. Do I need to pay for my internet connection? Isn’t this made of God’s blessing? Ok. So how the engine works are. The rare the object is, the more I have to wait to know this object.
Guess God did the “patience is the key.” Good job God. Good job. I hope you won’t be annoying in the future.
Of course, there will be mana. Of course, there will be one. What’s mana you asked? Well, it’s like stamina to magic. Ahh! This is so annoying! I hate it! It keeps draining. Is this supposed to be God’s blessing?! Welp. At least I can understand the letters in this world.

Forgot to mention, my parents take good care of my brothers. It feels like they don’t care about me. They are so not cool. Let’s talk about my family.
My father's name is Handley Von Échestel. He is a gentleman, on the outside. Not a good father. He treats his children like they are soldiers (not in a good way). Give your kids a fun childhood. It's not that hard right?
My mother’s name is Bathma Von Échestel. She is a bitch. I don’t even think she’s my mother because what kind of mother treats her child like shit?! She doesn’t even deserve to be called a mother.
And now, my “dear” older brothers.
The 1st Son of the Von Échestel Family is Padriac, he is handsome. He abuses his attractiveness to make girls fall for him. I know, I know. He is a man-whore.
2nd Son of Von Échestel Family, Sedric Von Échestel. He is kind. He may be one of my favorites. Even though he’s not yet married and has no children, he is way better than Handley at being a father.
3rd Son of the Von Échestel Family, Sandro Von Échestel! He calls himself a warrior! A knight! A hero! He doesn't know how the world works. In short, he’s dumb but on the bright side, he sure knows how to wield a sword. So it’s a win-win.
Ritchie Von Échestel. The 4th Son of the Von Échestel Family. He is very strategic and my least favorite brother. He is a narcissist. He can be an idiot sometimes thanks to his superiority complex. He keeps following Padriac like he’s some sort of god.
The 5th Son of the Von Échestel Family, Gustus Von Échestel! He is very prideful. He hates peasants. He doesn't like me… And I don’t like him. Don’t have much to say about him. I just hate his guts so damn much.
6th Son of the Von Échestel Family, Hanomtano Von Échestel. He is a quiet dude. He is good at water magic. And he is much better than his older brothers. Not to mention, Gustus is very jealous of him. Pathetic, am I right?
7th Son of the Von Échestel Family, Boone Von Échestel! He is sweet! Kind and helpful. My most favorite brother. He treats me like I’m part of the family. Sometimes, I think he can’t even hurt a fly but I do recommend not to fuck with him.
And Finally, The 8th Son of the Von Échestel Family. That's right! It's the one and only!

Abel Von Échestel! The reincarnated brother! He has the blessing of God himself!
Search Engine! That’s me! HEHEHE introduction.
So yeah. That concludes the Von Échestel Family.
This family’s business is related to fishing, which is why my brothers are practicing water magic.
....
Anyways, I can walk now. This is the best and the most pathetic achievement a reincarnated person could have. Right now, I am walking around in the library. And I learned some stuff!
So there are a lot of religions. Like a lot. It’s going to be hard to find that God. I’ll learn magic first for now. Also, this library is huge! It’s like a grocery store but bigger and full of shelves and books.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
Hm? Who’s this? Oh! It's Hanomtano! Hello! I waved at Hanomtano. And he walked past me. You will get used to it. He ignores everyone. Anyways, let's take a book, shall we?
So I learned that there are 3 types of magic. Unique Magic, Soul Magic, and Ranked Magic. Unique Magic is a skill that only a few people have. Soul Magic is a skill that is possessed only by a unique person. Ranked Magic is magic where everyone can use but you must have enough power to use from 7th tier magic to 1st tier magic. And if you use a magic skill a lot. And if you practice using the magic skill you possess, that magic skill will also level up. There are at least 1-5 levels of magic. Beyond those levels is impossible. Leveling up is hard. Some take 5 years to get to the second level.
Level 1 Mage is strong as a civilian. Level 2 Mages are bear-level and average adventures. Level 3 Mage are village level. Most are working for the government and some are just talented adventurers. They are hard to find. Level 4 Mage could cause a lot of destruction. They are mountain level. Level 5 Mage could cause more destruction than Level 4. They are country-level. Beyond Level 5, pigs can fly. This world is more complicated than I thought. My Search Engine Skill is Soul Magic. The more I use it, the more the skill will get better. Welp, I guess I have to practice my ass off.
“Search,”.

Ah, yes. Magic Network is so slow. I need to pay to God. Pay God? Pay God?!? So I need offerings? What kind of offering? A goat? Apple? Money? Human? Pig? Cow? Crows? What kind of offering? Since God reincarnated me. I guess I’ll offer him a life?
Like goat-
*Ding!*
[ Book ] [ World of Magic ]
[ It holds the information about basic magic. ]
Oh right! The more I use it, the more the skill will get better! Time to use the skill in each book! I look around in my surroundings, full of shelves and books. I sigh. This will be time-consuming.
Hanomtano walked around in the library looking for a book he needed. He saw Abel holding a book with a bored expression. ‘I wonder what he's doing?’ Hanomtano thought.
This is boring. Really boring. I need motivation. I need someone to encourage me.
Ahhh!!! What should I do-?
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
What now? Oh, it's just Hanomtano. Let’s just ignore him since he ignores me too. And he walked past me. I wish he encourages me. I need motivation in my current situation right now.
...
My patience skill has improved. It’s not a skill but I like to say it’s a skill. One of the best achievements a 3-year-old boy could have. Isn’t that amazing? Fufufu. Alright, let's not get cocky here.
...
I decided to encourage myself since I lost motivation to do all of this. How the heck does a level 5 mage manage to get that strong? Seriously, how?!?! It takes a lot of patience to do this! Is this world full of patience? Is patience the key here? Just how?!
I sigh and look at the book I’m holding. “How Politics Works?” It says. Once again, I sigh and look at the hologram in front of me.
[ Loading ]
I looked up while closing my eyes. Hoping to hear that DING sound again.
…
*Ding!*
Ah, finally. That DING sound gives me a satisfying smile.
...
I’m getting sleepy. What time is it? Should I stop? Nah, let’s continue. But I'm 3 years old and should get a good sleep. But how many hours should a 3-year-old boy sleep? Oh well, let's just continue.
Yep. Let’s sleep. Get to bed and sleep.
“Abel, it's dinner!” my father said.
Huh? Why does time move so slow? How?! When did I? I sigh.

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.
