Name

~ Sit straight, your posture is not right and you are not breathing right.

The boy was annoyed, nowadays every morning he would be asked by the voice to do some meditation.

' Why are you making me do this?'

~ You need to focus, I gave you the focus blessing but it's useless if you are not willing to use it. Use it and keep your posture straight.

' I asked, why?'

~ Hey, you have strong and a lot of mana in your body, a rare case. You need to be able to use this power, the only way you can do is to sense the flow. It takes a lot of time but I gave you the enhanced intelligence blessing so you should be able to do it earlier than others.

' Is this about becoming strong?'

~ Yes.

' Alright, I will do it.' The boy understood the importance of becoming strong so he had started to take things seriously. Besides he had trust in the voice because it had only given him benefits up until now.

The boy did the mediation but again today he didn't sense anything but he improved as per the voice. His breathing and posture have become much more steady.

After finishing the mediation he would study doing calculations from his seniors. He had asked the crying boy who was the best among everyone when it came to this. Two weeks had passed, the work was going smoothly for them, he is regarded as the leader despite his age because after doing his work he also helps others finish their work and also guides them to do everything in an orderly manner.

The food now included Vegetable stew and soup on certain days. The children were certainly becoming stronger because of that, they now had much more energy than before.

For now, the caretaker was spending all of the money on food and the salary of the employees.

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

The time went by and the boy grew up to be a 7-year-old kid, His growth was amazing, much better than other children. The bog grew almost as tall as a ten-year-old boy, his hair and eyes looked like belonging to some rich kid.

Today some of the children had to leave the orphanage, The orphanage had made a lot of work by doing more raw work for the merchant. Myler was happy to give them more work as long as things are done.

" Look after everyone, I am going to be working in one of Myler's shops and it's not in this town." A girl spoke.

" Take care, big sis." The boy replied. He had respect for this girl, she had always worked hard the most after him and had also supported the boy's scheme and getting things done from others.

" I am going to work hard, earn money and get an official name." The girl said.

" Name? Is that necessary?"

~ Boy, encourage her.

" It's the most important thing, little brother."

" Then I will also get ones like Myler and Clark." The boy said, he was curious because the girl spoke in a serious tone about getting a name.

In the country, you have to get a name registered when you are born and that costs three silver. It's not that hard to make she could earn a name in three months.

The Girl said goodbyes, the crying boy was again crying today. He had also grown much better and healthier than before because now he got better food and no one tried to snatch it from him because of his big brother.

" You will also be leaving next year, right?" The boy said making the crying boy cry even harder. Leaving at the age of twelve was the rule for everyone while leaving every child gets one silver and 12 coppers for them to survive. The boy also wanted to leave one day but only after making things a little better.

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

' Hey, Aren't you going to give me any more blessings?'

~ As I said, you are only strong enough to receive a total of 10 blessings. You will need special items to become strong then only I can give you more than ten. While ten may sound a big number now, it's not enough so we shouldn't decide too soon.

This made the boy think a lot about what exactly the voice wanted from him.

' Hey, do you also have a name?'

~ Yes, You finally asked. My name is Pandora, I decided myself.

' Is it important to have a name?'

~ Yes, a name is your identity.

' So I will also need to wait to get a name.'

~ Not really, Let's call you Ryan. Do you like it?

' Can we get a name just like that? What about paying money?'

~ It's better to call you with a name. I am going to call with this name, Alright? I don't think anyone should pay money for a name.

' Ryan, is it a good name?'

~ Doesn't it sound good? As long as it sounds good, it's fine.

' Okay.' The boy thought to himself about having a name. ' Should I tell everyone to call me Ryan?'

~ Decide for yourself kid.

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

" My name is Ryan," Ryan told his little brother and others.

" It does not happen like that? People ask for proof of one's name. Orphans like us are not allowed to get names this extravagant." The little boy explained.

" Doesn't matter to me, Whether I am allowed or not. You will have to call me big brother Ryan from today."

" What is going on?" The caretaker asked after seeing everyone gather in one place.

" Clark, I have decided my name, You can call me Ryan."

" Oye! You are not allowed to use such a name as per the rules of the kingdom. The kingdom will never officially register it." The caretaker explained. " How about we call you Berry?"

~ Puhhh! Berry, Because you used to pick berries. What a sense of humor?

' Don't laugh,'

" My name is Ryan and I will not choose any other name."
