Planning

Two years had passed since I was reborn. Though I was only two years old, the weight of what was coming pressed down on me. Sitting on the floor, watching my parents, I tried to strategize how to protect them. This isn’t a vision anymore… this is reality. HOW!?

I remembered the magics and martial arts stored in my mind from that mysterious phrase I had been given at birth. One of the first spells I recalled was Teleportation—a magic that allows instant travel to a known location or person. Testing it, I focused on the bathroom in our house, and in an instant, I found myself sitting on the wooden “pooper.”

“YAN! Why are you there?!” my father shouted in shock, rushing over to clean me. I had grown unnaturally fast—already one and a half meters tall at just two years old. But he didn’t question it too much; perhaps he thought my mother had something to do with it.

What is happening to me? I asked myself. And how can I use this at just two years old?

A brilliant idea struck me, and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Honey, what are you laughing at? You’re so cute,” my mother said, walking toward me in her white dress. I felt the warmth of her embrace and couldn’t hold back my tears. My father soon joined, hugging her tightly. I prayed silently, asking God to help me overcome this first obstacle and protect my family and our village from the disaster that would soon strike.

At three years old, my stats were astonishing:

Agility: 400

Magic: 500

Strength: 300

Vitality: 400

Status: 200

From what I had learned in the books, cultivation in this world followed the classic Chinese system:

Mortal Realm – Base human limits

Qi Condensation (Qi Core) – Ability to sense and control energy

Foundation Establishment – Strengthening the body and magic potential

Core Formation – Creating an energy core for sustained power

Nascent Soul – Soul refinement for advanced abilities

Spirit Severing – Immense spiritual and magical growth

Void Immortal – Near-divine abilities and lifespan extension

Transcendent Realm – Ascension beyond the mortal plane

Rebirth King – Ultimate peak of cultivation

Compared to that system, I was already at the Nascent Soul stage at three years old—an unheard-of level for such a child.

I could walk and talk like a normal child, but I had to act like a baby to avoid suspicion. Using the system’s Device Plan function on the transparent GUI only I could see, I started devising strategies for the bandits who would one day attack our village.

Magic elements I could use were divided into:

Attribute-less: Black, White, Void, Ancient

Attributed: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Thunder, Ice, Sand

Every day, I practiced magic in secret. I chanted Invisivobaltile, a spell that could hide up to ten objects and three people—including myself. I levitated pebbles for fun, practicing control without my parents noticing.

I also trained in Shadow and Light magic, which allowed me to roam unseen without consuming mana, as long as I stayed in shadows or under light sources.

While helping my mother with housework and watching my father practice swordsmanship, I remembered advanced martial arts like Sword that Defies Heaven, which allowed 78 consecutive attacks at lightning speed, Heaven Palm, and Soaring Dragon Finger, which could form miniature sword-like extensions from my fingers. These techniques would be crucial in dealing with the bandits.

Reviewing my plans, I noted the bandits’ abilities:

One could levitate a sword

Another controlled two elements

One had an Immortal Medium-Peak aura

Most minions had elemental or martial abilities

Against our village’s defenses—four Semi-Mortal Low-level elementers, two Mortal High-level swordsmasters, and two Mortal Beastmasters with a small bear and medium eagle—they were powerful but not unbeatable.

I used Hypnotysiem to put my parents to sleep safely in their bed and activated Invisivobaltile and Aerial on myself to fly invisibly over the village outskirts.

Hovering above, I saw the incoming bandits and listened in using Soundrosiom, but the effort drained my mana. Weak from overexertion, I returned home, lifted the hypnotism from my parents, and crawled back into bed, my senses heightened for any approaching danger.

Even at three years old, I knew: survival would require cunning, power, and patience. And I would do everything in my power to protect my family.
