On the lands of BlueWade kingdom, someone walked having a small child in his hand. He carried the child to an orphanage,

" Is someone here?" He asked knocking on the door.

" Yes," A man came running.

" This child I found it left alone somewhere." The man said as he showed the child.

" It's an orphan, are you here to leave him here."

" Yes."

" He isn't your child, is he?" The caretaker of the orphanage sounded strict.

" No, he is not my child. I brought him here because I couldn't see a child who still hasn't learned to walk."

" Alright, You can go I will admit this child in this orphanage. Thank you for bringing him here. Would you also like to make some donations?" The Caretaker asked.

The man flinched,

" ****! here keep this." The man took out some silver coins and have them to the caretaker. " Hey, take this as well, I think this belonged to the child. I think, it's something from his parents. I will feel bad if I sell it for money and drink booze with it." The man handed a white gem necklace.

" It does look precious but I don't think anyone will buy this stone."

" Hey, promise me you will let the child have this. Do not sell it for money." The man warned the caretaker.

" I have a conscience that is why I am here as a volunteer. I will keep this and when the child grows up a little, I will give this to him."

The child was wrapped in valuable clothes and was sleeping peacefully. He had shiny black hair and the round cheeks of an innocent one-year-old child.

...----------------...

" Clean that place well, you brat." The caretaker shouted. " This is punishment for trying to go in the forest."

A three-year-old child was cleaning the dust on the orphanage floor. The boy didn't have a name, orphans in the kingdom are not allowed to have names.

The boy was used still not used to cleaning, this took a lot of effort and didn't gain him anything. While going in the forest help him get some berries to eat for himself.

In the orphanage, he was only given two pieces of bread and two steamed potatoes. The orphanage was near the forest and at the end of the village, A month ago one day, he walked into that area by mistake and found some eatable berries.

Those berries became his favourite food so he would do anything for them. The boy had pockets filled with berries, the caretaker didn't take them from him. He ate one, and then another while cleaning the floor.

The other kids who saw this also came near him asking for berries. He without hesitation gave them away and kept five for himself.

The children divided the berries among themselves, only one kid was left that did not get any. When he saw this he went to that child.

" You want this too," He asked the child, the boy who didn't get any berries was older than him but weak because he would often get food snatched from him.

The boy nodded so he gave him the five berries he had, not having anything for himself. The caretaker watched everything from a corner,

' That boy, He is too smart and at the same time a fool, he only ate one or two.'

The other kids ate more than him even if he was the one who risked going into the forest. The kids were afraid to even step foot out of the orphanage because of the horror stories the caretaker had told everyone. However, that didn't work on this particular child.

The forest was indeed a dangerous place because of the animals. The boy just got lucky to not meet any of them.

...----------------...

A few more days passed, the boy was missing the taste of those berries. He was forbidden to go outside and eat the food inside the orphanage that was given on the daily basis.

Kids were lined up for the bread which he wasn't too fond of so he stood almost at the end of the line, letting the more desperate people take the food first.

Soon his turn came, the caretaker gave him two pieces of bread and one steamed potato on a wooden plate.

" Hey take this, this was something you had when you were left here. I sold the chain attached to it but kept the stone. Take it before I sell the stone as well." The caretaker said and placed the stone on the plate as well.

The boy went to a corner to eat his food, he finished his bread and potato and then looked at the stone. The caretaker didn't explain what the white stone was supposed to be for. Assuming it was something to eat because it was put on his plate he swallowed the stone.

The caretaker saw this and came running,

" Boy, you were not supposed to eat that." He said as he hung the boy upside down and shook him to take out the stone. However no matter how much he tried the stone never came out.

" Are you alright boy, do you feel any issue in the stomach." The boy replied by shaking his head. The caretaker brought water in case the stone was stuck in the throat.

He never faced any stomach ache or anything because of that so the caretaker didn't bother him again about this. He was just regretting the fact that he didn't sell the stone with the chain.

That knight the child slept peacefully, but the knight was different for him. He heard several voices in his head when he went to sleep.

~ Prove Your Worth, Become the sword, A slayer

~ Prove Your Worth, Become the shield, A protector

~ Prove Your Worth, Become the light, A hope

~ Prove Your Worth, Become the darkness, A despair

He heard these things several times waking him up many times during the knight. He breathed heavily and wanted to drink some water but the orphanage was closed. He tried to open the door but the door was locked, he pushed with all his might but failed.

Tired of trying, he sat on the ground near a wall, once again the voice spoke the same lines. He didn't understand what was happening to him at all.

Not being able to entire knight was not healthy for him thus he fell sick the other day and had a high fever. This wasn't a good thing as many in the orphanage were kicked out because there were diseases that could easily spread.

If one child gets infected, it affects the entire orphanage and due to lack of funds, it was risky keeping an ill child in the orphanage.

The caretaker soon noticed the boy not looking well.

' The boy is sick, it couldn't be a contamination disease. But what if it is, after all, he went to the forest, he will spread it to other children. Everyone might be in danger. Shit! What do I do? He is just an innocent child but would I have to do that to him.

No! I am just thinking too much let's watch for a few more days. I will give him some medicines, he should be alright.'

The caretaker quietly gave the medicine to the boy and told him to sleep. However, The boy would hear the same sentences again and again which irritated him but he tries to bear the sound this time.

The medicine was not that effective and again he could not have slept in the afternoon. But in the end, because of exhaustion he finally slept despite the sounds.

In two days his fever subsided, the caretaker felt relieved. He was going to tell the child to leave if he didn't recover within a week. To make sure he recovers properly he gave him some extra food.

He liked the treatment but was unsure, he took the bread. He was happy and was going to eat in a quiet place.

He ate his usual meal and wrapped the bread in a cloth thinking of eating at a later time of the day. However soon he heard someone cry, he followed the voice and soon reached the place where the voice came from.

" What happened?" He asked, it was the same child who didn't get any berries last time and he had to give him his share.

" My food they took it, again." The child cried.

" Ah, Eat this." He gave the food to the boy who was crying.

The boy looked at him and the tears in his eyes had stopped. The crying boy had a very good image of this particular black hair boy, he hesitated to approach him but had always wanted to be his friend. However, he was afraid that he might cause some problems for the boy because the other kids will start to bully the black hair boy as well if he becomes his friend.

He looked at the black hair boy, the black hair boy seemed a wonderful person, shiny black hair, calm and bright green eyes, and an innocent face. He had heard of stories about many kind people from the caretaker when he read the storybooks once a day every week. The black hair boy seemed like the hero from the story to him.

" Thank You, Big Brother." The crying boy said, he called him big brother despite the black hair boy being younger.

The Black hair boy didn't reply because he didn't understand the meaning of big brother.

~ You proved your worth, You became the light for someone for the first time. You shall be awarded.

The voice spoke in his mind but he didn't understand a single thing. He just sat down beside the boy who was eating his bread.

~ Regeneration ability gained. ' Ability that allows the user to heal himself, potentially able to heal any wound and regenerate the cut limbs. The time of recovery depends on the damage and mana.'

~ Strength is increased by five times.

~ Speed is increased by five times.

The Voices in the head had suddenly stopped, he was relieved and slept peacefully for the next two days. He had noticed several changes, his tooth that fell out of his mouth has grown back and the scratches he had from playing around are also gone.

For a three-year-old kid, he didn't understand much and also there wasn't anyone he could ask about this. When he tried to talk to the caretaker, he scolded him to not bother with something stupid.

He asked the child he helped, the boy was confused and couldn't give him an answer either. In the end, he gave up on finding what exactly was going on with him.

Having more energy than ever before, he was planning to sneak into the forest even if he will have to take some punishment later. He saw the caretaker doing some work so he quickly ran towards an area of the wall from where he could exit.

The Wall broke a little allowing a three-year-old child to easily pass through. He somehow got out of the wall, in his hand he was carrying a bag made of clothes that he took from the orphanage.

Soon the forest came into his view, he ran in the direction of the forest from where he last found the berries. There were many berries to pick even when he came last time, he started to pack a lot this time, unlike pockets the bag was able to fill as much as he wanted.

This was his third time doing this, but soon he sensed danger. From the branches, a small green snake quickly bit on his hands. It hurt a lot when the snake bite and the boy fell to the ground because of feeling dizzy.

~ Poison has entered the body.

~ Using Regeneration full capabilities. ¼ of the mana will be used.

The regeneration started to do its work, the snake just watches the boy waiting for him to die.

~ Regeneration Complete

~ Poison resistance to this particular poison has been gained.

The boy was no longer feeling the pain he got up and looked at the snake, the snake also gave him a confused but again bit as soon as he saw the opportunity.

This time however the boy just felt a little pain because of the bite.

~ Pain resistance to snake bite gained.

Soon the pain was gone, the small green snake bit as hard as he can but couldn't do anything. In the end, it gave up and left the bushes. The bite marks also healed quickly, the boy again started to gather the berries.

This time however he didn't go to the place where the snake was but the other places where he could find some. He went a little inside and found a tree, there were some fruits on the tree.

He tried to shake the tree but nothing happened, even when his strength was multiplied five times it barely reached the power of a ten-year-old kid. He picked up a stone and aimed at the fruit but missed.

He did it for two hours trying to at least get one fruit but he was unable to do that.

~ Your efforts have been noticed, Focus ability has been gained. ' You will be able to focus on a particular thing, nothing will be able to disturb your concentration until you achieve success.'

The ability wasn't particularly useful for him to Aim however this made him only focus on throwing the rock towards the fruit. He repeated the actions again and again but was unable to shoot even one fruit down.

~ Focus has been deactivated

~ You are warned, Danger is approaching

The Voice spoke in an intimated tone, The boy immediately looked around himself. It was almost evening time, in the night many animals come at the border of the forest. The voice was sending him a warning continuously, he understood the warning and picked up his bag which was filled with berries. He looked at the fruit once more and thought what will it taste like but he gave up and ran towards the orphanage.

As he was getting near the orphanage, he saw the caretaker having a stick in his hand and standing in front of the broken wall from where he exited the orphanage.

He hid behind a rock but was already spotted by the caretaker.

" You! I have warned you, What is that? You took that bag with you." The Caretaker saw that the bag was filled with berries. " Come with me."

He snatched the bag from him and led him inside by hand. Everyone in the orphanage was gathered there, they had been searching for him the entire day.

" Come on, now! Get your hands up and stand facing the wall." The caretaker said and then hit the boy on his bum ten times. He cried in pain making it a warning for him and others.

" If you go in the forest again, then it's better that you don't live in the orphanage as well."

" I don't want to live here!" The boy shouted, " I can get my food, better food. I don't need to be here."

The Caretaker was taken back, he had thought that the boy would be submissive after the punishment but it had an opposite effect on him.

" What did you say, bastard? You are going to sleep here, I will tie your hands. That should teach you a lesson."

The caretaker roped the child outside the gates and left. The other children also went to sleep, the boy cried because he only had good intentions, he had also brought the berries for other kids and this time a lot compared to before.

He didn't understand why he was punished and why in front of everyone.

~ You are in the wrong

" What?"

~ You are wrong, the caretaker cares about you.

" No! He doesn't"

~ He does

The voice talked more fluently.

~ He was worried for you.

" How?"

~ You risked your life if it wasn't for me giving the blessing of poison resistance you would have died.

" You never spoke like this, who are you?"

~ I am the vessel that holds several blessings. I can grant any blessing to anyone. However, you ate me so now I can only grant you those blessings because no one can touch me.

~ I just gave you two more blessings without you doing anything. The first one is Enhanced intelligence and the second is Subjection.

" What is Enhanced intelligence and Subjection?"

~ You are just three years old so you were not able to think too deeply about anything. It made things difficult for me so I gave this blessing, it will allow you to understand everything. Enhanced intelligence boosts your intelligence more than ten times, so you have become much more intelligent for a three-year-old child.

~ Subjection allows you to have full control of whoever submits to you. I submitted to you because I think I am now a part of you, it will allow us to have more meaningful interactions and also it helps with my growth as I am now a part of you.

" I don't understand many things. Is this only happening to me?"

~ Yes, do you think that everyone can have something like me with them.

" Why is the caretaker right?"

~ Because he was worried that you would lose your life or injure yourself.

" ..But."

~ You also understand that now.

" But, I just want to eat well, the bread and potato are not tasty."

~ Then do it the safe way.

" How?"

~ I will guide you. After all now, both of us are now one, a blessed vessel.

" Have you learnt your lesson?" The caretaker came early in the morning. He never woke up this early before but because he wanted to see how is the child doing, it was the first thing he did in the morning.

" I will earn money, the safe way. I will feed everyone better food." The boy declared in a loud voice.

The caretaker's eyes widened, he understood that the boy understood why he was punished. However the declaration stunned him, he saw the resolve in his eyes.

" You!, Whatever, give me your bum, I will put some ointment. It must have hurt a lot." The caretaker said. He was a middle-aged skinny man who does most of the work of the orphanage. From paperwork to taking care of the child.

~ He is like a father to you. Speak respectfully!

The Voice warned.

' No, He hit me.'

" Hey, did I hit you too slow, were you pretending to feel pain yesterday?" The caretaker asked as he looked where he had hit the boy with the stick, there was no mark.

" You hit me very hard, I hate you," The boy said with teary eyes as he remembered how angrily he was beaten in front of everyone.

" Alright sorry, now scram!"

" Wait, I want to earn money safely. Tell me how?"

" You are just a little twerp, you can not earn money like this. Just wait for Seven or Eight years. When you leave the orphanage, you can donate some of your money so until then try to survive here."

In the orphanage children are supposed to leave when they reach the age of twelve. However, if a child wishes he can leave at any time. The caretaker was currently not giving him an option to leave.

' Hey, What do I do now?'

~ Ask him if you could do anything inside the orphanage that would earn you money or if he could bring something that you can work on to make money.

The boy repeated the words of the voice,

" *Sigh*, Do you want to get better food that badly?"

" Yes."

" For now, you can eat berries. But I have no idea what can be done about this. We don't even have the space to plant the berries somewhere in the orphanage."

" Tell me when you know." The boy said and then left.

' The child suddenly seems too sharp. I wonder if the stick I hit him with was had some kind of magic.'

...----------------...

" Whoa! They are much better than before." The boy had already taken the share out for himself and the boy who called him big brother. " But, you shouldn't go to the forest, I have heard that someone was eaten by an animal."

" Eat the berries, It's the last time."

" Oh! looks like the spanking worked."

" Hey, don't you want to eat better food?" He asked the boy.

" I do but I don't know how I can." He said.

" Will you help me earn money?" He asked.

" Money? Will we get better food?"

" Yes, A lot." He said.

The boy had no idea what to do, he was just encouraging someone and adding them to his team. The voice suggested to him that he should gather trustworthy allies for himself to earn money.

" I will tell you when I think of something. Promise me you will help." He said.

" I will help big brother."

' Hey, what is big brother.'

~ The big brother, I think he is showing you respect.

...----------------...

The orphanage staff was gathered in one place in the evening for a serious discussion.

" I have gathered you here to ask, is there something that children can do inside the orphanage."

" That's a good idea, I am against child labour but this would earn them more food."

" Right!"

" How about making decorations with beeds, I have never seen anyone sell them in the town and I had heard that a merchant is looking for people who can work with them. I think it's easy to work to do for children." Ila who is responsible for cleaning and washing offered.

" I have never heard about it but if you are saying it then it should be a good suggestion."

" Okay, than any other ideas." The caretaker asked.

No one spoke,

" Ila, Tell me where can I find this merchant, I will take that boy with me. He would certainly be able to convince the merchant, he is sharp."

" Okay," Ila said, she was excited about the changes that were going to happen in the orphanage.

...----------------...

" So boy, you understand everything, right? You need to convince the merchant that you could do this."

~ Try to gain a psychological advantage.

' A psychological advantage?' He questioned.

~ I mean make sure you get the best deal.

' Deal? Do you mean I have to ask for more money?'

~ Yeah something like that, he may try to take advantage of you.

They walked to the address where the merchant lived, the caretaker entered the merchant's shop.

" Oh, Who are you, sir." The merchant asked the caretaker.

The merchant was a girl, the caretaker didn't expect that.

" Hello, Are you the merchant named Myler?"

" Yes, I am."

" It's nice to meet you, my name is Clark and I am the caretaker of the orphanage of this village."

" Oh, Are you here to ask for some donations?" Myler asked. " I can not give you much but here." The girl said as she took out a silver coin.

The orphanage normally received 20 copper as donations from people who wished to donate. One silver is five times that amount.

" We are not here for donations." The caretaker said and then explained further.

" Ms Ila she also cleans my store in the morning, however, do you think the children will be able to do this."

" I can do anything in the world." The black hair boy spoke.

Myler was charmed by the little boy's cuteness,

" This boy is cute, Mr caretaker, isn't it wrong for children of this age to work?"

" I know but we are lacking funds. Most of the funds go into food and clothes. However, we have been spending funds on some constructions in the orphanage so they don't have enough to spend on food. Besides, we have to pay the salaries of the employees." The caretaker spoke. He didn't tell that he has been receiving only a few donations from people nowadays and the government is not even paying attention to them.

" Test me, If I can then others can as well, they are older than me." The boy spoke.

" You little, come here," Myler said with a gentle smile. " You are too cute and I see you are quite sharp too. Okay, I will give you the chance."

" Here are the beeds and the thread. You just have to use these needles to enter the beads like this over the strings. Every String should be one meter long."

She demonstrated everything, The boy took the needle and tried to put the thread through it. He failed three times but passed on the 4th try.

After that, he entered the beeds one by one through the needle.

Myler was amazed.

" Alright, I will give you one small assignment. Prepare 300 of these. I will give one copper for five of these."

~ She is generous, it's easy to work. For the time being the orphanage could earn enough from it to buy enough food for the children.

' You think so. Can the others do it?'

~ You will be there to guide them and I will be there to guide you.

" I will prepare it,"

" Alright." The lady smiled and pat his head.

She gave the material needed for the job to the caretaker.

On the way, he talked to the caretaker. He found out that their orphanage is only getting 60 copper as an average in the form of donations. There are only Ten people who make donations regularly, others do never make any donations.

He wondered how the orphanage was even surviving like this. One bread cost one copper, there were thirty children in total, the voice told him that it was barely enough for food.

How did he pay for the staff was a mystery to both the voice and the boy. They at least know that the caretaker was an honest person.

" I will become the richest man and I will feed every hungry person in the world." The boy declared.

The caretaker didn't laugh, " Please, We need someone, Please become that type of person one day." He said with a serious face.
