《The Story of a Dreamer》Interesting!
Advertisement
Laiz was exposed to the wide clear space of the road and the houses lined up all around him, each having varying mixtures of both modern and old.
It was a refreshing sight to behold, especially for a weirdo like Laiz.
'I wonder how it would look from above!'
Laiz's excitement and anticipation would have tempted him to climb the highest building on sight moments ago had it not been for his outstanding self-control.
Instead he settled to just look around, observing the specific details of each building. There were a lot of that to see, forcing Laiz to appraise each design and their purpose.
Laiz seemed to have lost his sense of time from all the looking around as it seemed as if the carriages had already found themselves a parking spot in just a moment.
'.. I'll just wander around'
Getting over his surprise, Laiz planned his next actions with no specific goal in mind. Just get an idea of the city.
'.. Time to say my goodbye'
Laiz hadn't spent too much time with the merchants, so he didn't find it hard to part ways with them so soon.
Laiz walked up to all the people he was most familiar and said his farewells before waving to all of them as he started walking to the central part of the city.
"See ya!"
"Pay for you ride next time!"
"Ya better be able to drink after we meet again!" Many merchants seem to bid farewell with a friendly smile, some opting to shout loudly.
Laiz could only smile at the liveliness of the merchants. Especially the burly man..
Laiz kept walking until he was forced to take a turn. With a last big wave, he disappeared from their sight.
...
Again, Laiz couln't help but appreciate the mix of old culture and the modern atmosphere the city gave off.
'They did have a big burst of technology advancement, i wouldn't expect the people to chip off their old ways compared to earth's relatively slower advancement'
Laiz didn't have his super computer brain for nothing. He could tell many things about this city already and how earth may have had a similar path had they progressed faster.
And.. Laiz lost his sense of time once again as he found himself gaping at three big screens attached to a circular building.
Laiz now found himself in a massive open space where many shops surrounded the circular building with the large Tv's.
With him were a massive crowd of people, each going to different directions.
'Some people are staring..'

Laiz grasped himself thanks to the weird stares he was getting from a few people by standing in stiff still at the center.
Laiz walked himself to the sides to continue his admiration of the unique setting before him.
Laiz couldn't stop smiling at everything around him. The planking of roofs each colored either green orange or brown along with many more old cultural design and props that resembled the Japanese culture didn't fail to amaze him. It all contained a sense of delicacy that carried through time.
Yet, what made this sense of delicacy especially enchanting was its mixture with of modern technology. The children carrying tiny consoles, the cables connected to each building, the machines and not to mention the LARGE TV SCREENS attached to the building in the center. Those were a few things that made this sense of delicacy dazzling.
'Although this place is a bit packed, that still adds to its charm that this city had to go through as a result of the rapid advancement within technology'
A few people from the crowd found themselves giggling at the 'girl' in front of them.
This broke Laiz's moment of admiration once again as he was forced to see what the commotion was all about. He looked at himself. Unbeknownst to him, he had been nodding to himself in overly focused expression while his hands were in his chin.
"Ah aha..."
Laiz was not at all oblivious to the image he was projecting and decided to keep walking ahead before he got himself absorbed in his admiration once more.
'That's right! I can admire the city from above!'
Laiz quickly ran off to one direction: The Hokage mountain.
What better spot to view the city from above?
Of course it had to be the Hokage mountain!
With his mind reeling with excitement, Laiz ran swiftly towards the Hokage mountain with a big smile on his face.
Had he purely used his physical ability, Laiz would already be breathing shallowly in less than 5 minutes.
To battle his low physical abilities, he used his chakra and focused it to his legs before releasing it to the ground at precise timing.
It was very similar to Tsunade's super strength, in-fact this has the same concept. Just that it is applied to the ground with less power compared to releasing it to a person.
Laiz was able to learn these two skills during his advancement with Chakra Manipulation. At the time he had reached grade five, he had experimented with his refined control and discovered many skills. It was only upon reaching grade six manipulation that he was able to use the majority of those skills.

Laiz could use the skills that required higher chakra control but, it was very straining for his body and took a large sum of chakra.
He would like to avoid those for now unless necessary.
Laiz mind was really wondering today as already, within his view was the seven Hokage statues, each very eye catching and had powerful presences despite being statues.
Laiz smiled widened, taking a few seconds to just view and appreciate the scene. Laiz then found a long mountain stair leading to the top.
'There it is!'
Despite his excitement, he went slowly towards the stairs and started climbing in a walking pace.
'It's always good to just take it slow and take in the scene as i get higher and higher'

You have earned the title 'Weirdo'
Only achieved if system is unable to analyze the thoughts of the user. Host is rewarded 1000pt.
- - - - - - - - - -
Laiz was not expecting the panel and fell for the surprise. This reaction was understandable as these days, he hadn't interacted with the system as much.
Laiz could only smile upon reading this achievement.
1000 point for that?
Laiz remembered reading crazily in one week straight. That only got him half that amount!
Well, Laiz didn't let that fact get through him. Laiz smile as he stared below,
The bright view of the city was too dazzling to get upset.
...
Laiz was laid down on top of the Hokage statue, staring in deep thought at the blue sky above.
His thoughts were interrupted by a strong cold breeze. Which reminded him.. He had wasted too much time here.
'I still need to get to the library. I also need a new place..'
With a sigh, Laiz stood up and started brushing his clothes from the dirt of the ground.
With that, Laiz headed to the library.. Only to be interrupted a few steps after walking.
Laiz stared in front of him.
What he saw was a young boy with blonde hair. His clothes consisted of an open black jacket with red inside and outside stripes, a white shirt underneath and a normal ninja pant.
'That should be Boruto..'
Laiz quickly recognized this person.
Boruto didn't seem to have took notice of him as he ran towards the stairs with a big mischelvious smirk on his face.
He then transformed into a small bin, placing himself to the side.
Laiz didn't have a chance to feel confused as a tall figure arrived in front him.
'Annnd, this is Naruto'
Laiz's inner thought was so blank that if a crazy fan were to hear it they would rage and pray for a punch to fly into Laiz.
With Laiz's super-computer brain, of course he wouldn't be so slow to panic at seeing a god appear out of nowhere! He had already done that a few milli-seconds ago.
"Hey, you wouldn't by chance seen a kid in black jacket pass through here, right?"
Despite the rush in Naruto's voice, he spoke with authority as expected of the Hokage. But his tone also revealed a sense of warmth and friendliness. Laiz couldn't help but feel safe and reassured in front of him.
Laiz took a quick glance towards Boruto's direction, which Naruto didn't seem to have notice as he was too busy looking around.
"Uhh, No. I haven't seen anyone here, Hokage-sama."
Laiz made sure to add the honorific in there.
Who wouldn't do as that at their first meeting towards one of the strongest shinobis of this world?
Naruto could probably defeat him at his current state without his cloak.
"Alright.. Thanks for your time"
Naruto seemed to deflate as he sighed, no doubt thinking about his son's prank.
With that, Naruto puffed out of existence as smoke took his place.
'The shadow clone jutsu..'
Laiz was planning on learning that jutsu for later, it had too many benefits to be left unlearned.
Anyway, Laiz moved towards Boruto before sitting at the railing of the stairs.
"May i have my thanks now, Boruto-san?" With a smile, Laiz addressed the bin as Boruto.
A few seconds pass by with silence.
If anyone else were with Laiz, they would undoubtedly stare at him in confusion before shaking their head as they walked off.
Just as Laiz prepared to pick up the bin, it poofed to smoke.
"Ah aha, Thanks for the help"
Boruto walked over to Laiz, scratching his hair as he thanked Laiz.
"No problem, Boruto-san" Laiz simply smiled.
Boruto's expression exaggerated in surprise. Laiz could only put his hand over his mouth to hide his wide smile.
'He's cuter when interacting with him'
"Oh! How do you know my name?" Boruto asked curiously.
"You're the Hokage's son." Laiz looked at Boruto, trying hard to suppress his smile.
"That's right!" Boruto laughed,
"Since you know my name, what's yours?" Boruto asked curiously.
"Laiz, Laiz Gren" Laiz said with his usual smile.

Path of the Ancients
When humans with the ability to control the fundamental particles of the universe with their minds were first discovered, the age of space travel began in earnest. Relativistic travel faster than the speed of light became possible and humanity moved out into the stars. When it was discovered that these Mages could be turned into effective weapons, humanity turned back to its oldest pastime of war. Hundreds of years later as humanity was on the brink of self-destruction, with its taste for war finally beginning to wane, a new organization was created. The Conclave was formed to regulate all Mage’s within the human colonies. While the colonies maintained their independence, the Conclave’s control over access to interstellar travel made them the de facto power amongst humanity. As the old saying goes, ‘Power Corrupts’, and many people were unhappy with the way the Conclave had been leveraging its authority, not the least of which were the Mages they controlled. One unregistered illegal Mage by the name of Tyrial had made it his life's mission to dismantle the Conclave at any cost. After spending decades working towards his goals alone, he realized he would need the aid of willing allies in his crusade. Tyrial would need all the help he could get learning to work with others, dealing with his own dark past, and handling unfamiliar feelings of romantic interest.

Thanks!
