Capítulo 1: 《Chapter 1: It has begun》
Like the saying goes, when life gives certain lemons than you make lemonade out of those certain lemons but make the passerbys drink it. What? Life's a chill dude but his lemons have issues. Take the advice and don't drink the lemonade cause it will make you bleed from your tissues.
----------
In a world far far away, a distance so far that you can't hope to quantify it, there slept two children so peacefully you would think they are dead. Yes, one a boy and the other a girl. The child sleeping like a dead log is the boy. His expertise lies in sleeping so nothing much to work on but his sister now that's a different case altogether.
The sister is a once in a millennium genius of the sword arts, with the heart of sword, no sword in the world can she not use. She has crystal blue hair tied into a ponytail with aquamarine eyes that resemble the calmness of a lake, skin so white you would mistake her for snow white, but with all these things and being perfect she has one flaw. Yes, you heard us right, she's not flawless, bummer. The sleepy head, crazy maniac of a brother corrupted her into a bro-con because he wanted her to take care of him. You don't need to tell me, even i agree that the kid seems to be scum, no no no, he is worse than trash to do such a thing to an innocent child like her. May he rot in .... damn it, i can't even curse him properly without implicating this adorable and innocent little child into it. Damn that scum.
Anyways, the name of the Sword Princess, that's her title, is Jessica. She just turned 7 and recently had underwent an awakening. Yes, people awaken their talents in this world when they are a month away from becoming seven. No one truly knows why but it has been so since time immemorial and has been widely spread as the law of the world as they don't know if there are other worlds out there following the same system as them.
Moving along, this world of Xenturia is a Mana infested world with countless different organisms living in a borderline peaceful environment. This peaceful world, is filled with all kinds of flora and fauna that couldn't be seen on Earth. There are flying tigers, dragons, shapeshifting chameleons, Fusion ants and many more. This world also has many races living, such as the widely popular elves, the grumpy dwarves, the short statured hobbits, the exotic dark elves, the coveted succubus, the nature loving druids and many others.
The world of Xenturia is thrice as big as Earth with 60% water and 40% land. The land is divided into the commonly known 5 continents. The continents are, commonly addressed through their population,
1) Element
2) Digora
3) Halves
4) Human
5) Techno

These 5 continents although have proper names, most people don't know as it has been forgotten in the depths of time and has been buried deep in history.

Continuing on, this world has gone through plethora of skirmishes and 5 great wars and 2 calamities but those are for another day and today we are going to be talking about something else.
The world runs on mana and without it all life will cease to exist, so the famous philosopher Gerald Von Resh said but it was highly controversial and debated by various scholars and magicians. They agreed that the world ran on mana but to say all living organisms will die without it would be a joke because in this world filled with mana. The world which births myriad of races capable of using mana and containing mana, had in the past birthed anomalies which could not contain, use, sense or even bear mana at all. This in itself refuted the saying of Gerald but Gerald had died before these anomalies came to be, as such at that time in the past it had been widely accepted till the anomaly that was born refuted it and made another conjecture.
But that conjecture is for another time so for now lets move on to the boy who has just woken up.
---
The boy is known as Jack, carrying the title of Somnus. The title has been given by the people who know him and the villagers who have met him as he is almost always sleeping. The villagers seeing him sleep at anytime, anywhere and anyplace gave him the title Prince Of Sleep, and being the smartass he told them to call his title Somnus, the Roman God of Sleep/Dreams or Hypnos The Greek God of Sleep/Dreams.
Adhering to his explanation, they started to call him by his title and eventually almost all the villagers ended up thinking that his name was Somnus. Too lazy to correct them, he decides to go ahead with the name. In the end, even his parents officially changed his name to Somnus. Although, he doesn't mind the name, he regrets his actions of not correcting the villagers and also not trying to stop his parents from changing his name due to being too lazy.
His life can be summarised quite easily. Active from the birth to the age of 5. Passive from then onwards. Currently he is 12 years old so you can understand why he has been called the personification of Sleep and all. What many don't know is that our mc has not undergone an awakening till now but due to his nature and actions everyone believes that his powers force him to sleep so that they can work properly.
Under this misunderstanding, they started to believe that he is quite hard-working to the point that they forcefully try to stop anyone who tries to stop him from sleeping. On a side note, this is also the reason that his sister works so hard when training and also one of the reasons of her becoming a bro-con. Moving on, Somnus has gold and glittering sand like hair, Lavender coloured eyes that seem to have tiny specks of white dots inside which are evenly spaced and make you think there are stars in his eyes. He is close to 4ft tall with jade white skin, a handsome face, although that is what he seems to think, it is known that people many times mistake him for a girl, and aura that just makes you want to cuddle him to sleep. FYI that's the other reason for him being called Somnus; his aura which just makes you want to sleep.
Anyways, disregarding the major belief that people are born with the ability to use mana, Jack or now Somnus is the first of the people unable to do so. No matter how hard he tries he could never control the mana in the air or inside his body or as a matter any mana. Much to his disappointment, so he has been moping around for all these years because he was the only in the world with such a huge disadvantage. It has been almost 8 years since this major setback and he has finally decided due to his sister's many a times request for him to join her in playing or accompanying her in training.
Today, the 7th of the second moon was the day the legend of Somnus, The Anomaly Of Sleep, started. It was the day the people found out how dangerous one can be even without the ability to use mana. It was the day the people found out the capabilities of the physical body and the imaginative thoughts of a cornered person. To many, his actions seemed like a joke and to some they seemed praiseworthy, the very thought of going against what was meant to be and carving out an unexpected path for himself. That very notion managed to make a lot of the residents of the world resonate with his feelings of not backing down in the face of adversaries and obstacles. The very act of him defying what is widely known and refuting it fiercely gave the courage to many people to fight once more, the hope to be better than what they are and the hope to fight for their rights.
Yes, this was the day that started the fire that spread throughout the continent. The spark that ignited the flames of defiance, started his journey from the little village of Ambrusia. The village that was long forgotten by the kingdom it serves and is never mentioned even once in history or the maps of the world. The forgotten village or as many who have stumbled towards the village call it, Land of Forgotten Times.
Somnus, going through the daily motions with some difficulty as usually someone helps him in taking a bath, brush his teeth, combing his hair and wearing his clothes. He finally finishes the daily routine and checks how he looks upon the water mirage. The water mirage is basically a rectangular box hanging on the wall which has water mana flowing through causing water to cascade down in ever flowing manner; it's mainly used instead of mirrors due to them being cheap. Looking at himself, he gives out a nod of satisfaction.
Wearing dark coloured clothing to make his looks stand out without knowing that many of his clothes are gender-less clothing that slightly incline towards the feminine side. He leaves for the dining room but soon stops as he walks out of his room upon realising that he, Somnus, had no idea where it was since the renovation done to the house 2 months ago. Agonizing over what to do, he decides to call for help but ends up in a coughing fit. He reflects upon his actions as he realized that he may have gone a bit too far with not even speaking during the time he was moping around. So he just waits in the room after having a glass of water.
He stares out the open window and gazes at the beauty of the scene before him as he loses himself in it. The serene atmosphere that just calms your nerves and helps you think better just somehow he found it resonate with him. As though it was calling upon him, telling him to embrace the sleep once again. But, he had already decided, never again would he succumb to such thoughts and he would make sure of it even if he has to go through hell and back again.
Lost in thought for quite a time he failed to realise the extreme shock of the maid that came to take care of him. The shock that the maid suffered was akin to someone telling you that your loving wife of 15 years is a lesbian and she was with you for convenience sake. I, the narrator, am still bad at examples, forgive me for that. Anyways, due to the shock she ended up slamming the door shut behind her causing Somnus to come out of his dazed state and look at her before pointing at her and then pointing at his mouth as though he wants to eat something but the maid so caught up in the shock didn't realise what he wanted and ended up mistaking it for something else. The maid came closer to him and ended up kissing him on his lips; re ieving such am extreme shock on the day he decided to change himself, he fainted with a slight nosebleed. The maid after kissing Somnus realised just what she had done and cleaned up every and all evidence of her being here and left Somnus on the bed with a blanket over him like every other day. No one suspected anything about what had happened that day and no one new what transpired and what sort of things awakened in the young Somnus that day . It was a unfortunate day for Somnus, a boy who was so pure and shy and timid. It was even more unfortunate for the people for what happened that day as it awakened his sealed desires that were nowhere to be seen for so many years.

I closed the book as i realised that maybe reading such a book was not good for my health as apparently this was a romance fiction based upon the true story of Jack Somnus, the founder of techno-formations, formations that can be used by only using technology that don't contain mana rather they use fuel like burned wood or water or oil and such.
I, Chris have been spending everyday like this ever since I turned 4. Although, me being called a genius was never mentioned and I wanted find out why. Therefore, I started going through books and found the thing that crushed my silly dream of being the village genius that goes and brings fame and honor to the village. Yes, me being able to speak properly by 2 and being able to read and understand things written in books were nothing as compared to what the true geniuses did. The book i found when i was 3; the book by the name of 'Chronicles of The Mad Ones', it shattered the silly thoughts i had as a reincarnator. Inside the book were over 9000! people who could do what i could and more.
What genius could i be when even my own father came and told me about him being able to do all i did by the age of 2 and wondering whether they should take me to the doctor or something. It hurt a lot to hear him say that, so yeah, i cried. Then again i was just 3 and still in the emotional phases of the human growth period. Well, after that i saw my dad get beat up by mom and all, which made me feel a little better. At least she didn't say anything about it, although, now i find myself in a glowing blue light that soothes me every time i am sleeping and mom doesn't allow me to sleep by myself. Yeah, i am not going to think about it too much as the less i know the better it is for me. Ignorance is bliss like they say.
Anyways, i started being able to manipulate the mana in my body by the age of 2 and with that i have been merging the mana into every part of my body little by little and i can feel it get stronger day by day. The amount of mana i have right now is barely 20, which is in my opinion quite little. I know this because when i merged my mana with my eyes it caused a mutation which allowed me to see the amount of mana being released by people and trust me when i say the children that i saw, those younger than me, had 3 times my mana. This dealt an additional blow to my dream of going through the prohect 'lazy genius'. I mean, comeon, why the hell does a 2 year old have like 70 mana or 65 mana. It's not fair but then again, i come from another world and that in itself is a cheat.
Right, forgot to introduce myself properly. The names Reve Starlet, 4 years old with hair pure like snow and eyes grey like ash and bleak life, skins a light tan but heights a problem and i don't wish to discuss it. Mana capacity is 1/3 the normal and that hurts me more than you can say but i am loved nonetheless so all's cool. Got a cousin who can't leave me alone, an aunt who keeps close by although she just turned 7. But, the one thing about them all that's common is they like to pamper me too much, even my mother seems to do it more often than not.
Well i suppose, that's all i have for today, until next time. Good night.

A/N : Well this was mostly am info dump or rather it was for me to just go with the world that i had already drafted out.
I hope you like it and just gonna mention it here, do point out grammar and spelling mistakes since i am typing everything on the phone before posting it.
Leave a suggestion for the actual name of the continent as i am literally very bad at naming things, as you can tell from the title of the book.
You can leave a suggestion for one or all five continents and if i find them to be good I'll take the suggestions and mention them in the upcoming chapters.
Thanks for reading.

The name for the World was me making a mistake in typing. I was going for Centuria but when i saw that i wrote Xenturia, i thought what the heck let's leave it like that since it looks better.
For the name of the continents, any suggestions cause i have literally no idea what to name them as you can see from the ones which i sneakily dismissed in the story.
