While I have decided not to adventure, I have many things that I can do to keep my mind occupied. Practising earth magic I started created homes for practice. Turns out the villagers seem pretty interested. They have been giving me hints and tips on how to produce a stable structure. Since it is made out of dirt when it rains it collapses. Eventually I built a house with a kitchen, 4 bedrooms, a living room and a dining room. One of the villagers then suggested I make it out of stone. This took much longer and required time to break it apart to start again. Eventually I succeeded and we ended moving into the house. I don't ponder much about abyss as he always says he is busy so I sealed the dungeon so that he can work without someone accidentally interrupting him.

When I made our new house someone moved into our old one and a cruddy old house was abandoned. The poorest people in town had been living there. They were an elderly couple who moved into our old house. Since they didn't have to repair the straw roof every year they are doing much better. I ended up burning there old house while trying to make the flames bright blue. Didn't succeed so I ended up building a new house there. Anther stone one. I ended replacing all the houses in the village took me 2 years total. Codex has been modifying my body with the bones. He finished the same time that I finished the last house. So we restarted my training program in secret. Its been another year I am 6 and a half years old. My parents sent me to a school for a day. Its a 2 hour walk their and back. The teacher sent me home after 20 minutes with a note saying

“your child is to smart for this school don't send him back have a nice day”

while I didn't go to school after that Sophia, Anna and Angel did. My days were quite boring and long but I got lots done. Apparently they were learning the magic basics because the three of them were unusually gifted. While we don't sleep together anymore as my mom got really strict about it when I turned 4 I’m assuming something is rubbing off on them from myself because if they are proceeding at crazy rates then I must be godlike. While I don't view myself as godlike ever since the ancient incident from what I heard from the girls the villagers children brag about how they have a grand magician in there village. Its apparently me for some reason. I asked my mother about it and apparently grand magicians are magicians who form the council of magic. What they do is solve problems regarding magic users. Its an untold law known to everyone that a magician is not aloud to simply grab a thrown because he or she is powerful enough to do so otherwise the magician council will come after you. Everyone they have gone after has died. Period. They also prepare for the rise of the demon lord. There goal is to improve peoples lives and to give people peaceful lives. Sometimes they have dethroned kings who abused their power. This left a rift between the magic council and the nobility. A large portion of the council was made up of elves. They usually didn't involve themselves in the council unless it pertained to demons.

I don't think I am that strong what so ever. They were rumours that they could crush mountains, fight dragons one on one and even wipe armies off the face of the earth in ten minutes. If anything they reminded me of the ancient I met. A requirement of becoming a council member was that you had to be immortal. The only rules of the council were that you couldn't leave and that you had to follow the head grand magician.

Apparently Elaine's father is on the magic council. Elaine has been going to an elvish school since she turned 6 in elf years.(elf year is 2 human years as they age at half the rate until they turn 20) So she still visits on occasion but she also is not allowed to sleep with me. The winters seem colder since I turned four.

I for the next 3 and a half years fixed things around the village and improved things. I created an irrigation pond, cleared trees and burned the stumps making more farmland, created a well for in the winter so no one had to melt ice for water. The improvements didn't go unnoticed but I simply directed all the fame to my mom. I convinced her to take the praise because if outsiders learned I was doing it I could get conscripted into the countries army. She eventually agreed and I was freed from being the villagers pinnacle of hope. I liked being unnoticeable it was where I was comfortable. Although everyone in town did know my name. The village did grow a large amount as well in that time and I kept building houses and clearing land. Our village was becoming known for its vast food sales and for its good harvests no matter the year. Just before I turned ten I built the town walls. I didn't go full out creating a star fortress but I did make it better then the average it took me several months to finish. When I turned ten things changed and that is where we will continue.

“hey Charles Let's face it; God has a big ego problem. Why do we always have to worship him?”

“nice joke but there isn't really a form of “god” in this world”

“To do all that one is able to do, is to be a man; to do all that one would like to do, is to be a god.”

my mother then speaks to me

“Charles you should go to school”

“mom they kicked me out years ago”

I am still trying to absorb mana from the air. Its been going great right know its like comparing a match to a bonfire. A great improvement from when I started.

“no I mean at a better school. The girls have been offered scholarships to go to the school at black wall.”

“can we afford it?”

“the amount of money I have been getting from my cut as town mage let me save up enough to let you go for the whole time. But it looks like there is going to be another town mage as the village has been growing to much and my rank isn't enough to suffice for the village size. The magic council told me about it to me in a letter last week.”

“so ill be going to school for what?”

“military training in magic or swordsmanship”

“can I do both?”

she has a surprised look on her face. She knows I excel in magic. But she doesn't know that I stole the gravity rings and trained my body as well. She smiles and responds.

“if the headmaster lets you”

“sounds good when do I start?”

“next month”

I spent the next 2 and a half weeks keeping myself busy and packing I got my 750 gold put on my 2 5 tiered rings of mana (yes I did combine them) my ring of nourishment, my 5 tiered ring of gravity(this also combined as well) , ring of storage and the three from the cave with the ancient. I haven't put them on since I stopped adventuring. So 8 of my fingers have rings on them. I decide to keep my thumbs clean of rings for now. I also have 4 and a half rings of power saved up in the 5 tiered rings of man. Later when I was outside going to clean my clothes Elaine arrived in our village. I greeted her first as I had nothing to do today other then laundry.

“Hey Elaine how are you doing?”

“good its been a while.”

“yes it was what brings you out to these parts?”

“I’m going to school in black wall because my father wants me to learn how to interact with human nobility”

I smile and respond “I'm not royal enough for you?”

she frowns “not my idea my fathers”

“well it looks like we will be both attending then with the girls as well”
