I followed after the blonde girl and, 15 minutes of walking later, we arrived at an around five-ter-tall wooden wall that surrounded the village.
The girl went straight to the central main street and brought to a conspicuously large mansion poking out of the deepest part of the street.
Entering the mansion, I saw a blonde boy with a bob cut descending down the stairs.
As if to protect , the blonde girl imdiately placed herself in front of .
"What do you think you're doing, gathering up all these people at the first sign of turmoil? When Father and Mother return from the capital, I'm going to report this, Aqua," the boy said.
"Do as you please. Let's go, Grey," Aqua responded.
The blonde girl, Aqua, grabbed my right arm and led up to the second floor.
Several servants threw cold gazes at , which I noticed had co from several villagers earlier as well.
After gathering info for a few days, I finally understood the situation I've been placed in.
The owner of this body's na is Grey Millard, third son of the ultra-poor Millard family and lives in a remote village of the Magical Empire.
The Millards were the lowest ranking noble---a Baron. They lacked any type of specialty and lived in a basin enclosed by high mountains, so travelers rarely visited. With a population of around 3000, the Millard territory was dotted with seven villages. Many believed it wasn't even a territory, but rather just a series of villages.
To make matters worse, around 80% of the territory actually consisted of uncharted 『Ancient Forest』where powerful monsters road the land, which left only a small portion of habitable land. Moreover, orcs and goblins regularly assaulted the villages every few years. The Millards were truly fallen nobles, cast off to the edges of the Magical Empire.
In any case, I'm the third son of a Baron, born from a mistress. For what it's worth, my mom is also a noble so I will inherit a little, but the amount is even less than my sister, Aqua, will get. It's all just like a script of so day drama. I thought this was the reason for all those cold gazes at first, but that wasn't the case.
It seems the owner of this body, Grey, was born without the ability to use magic. In the Archive, magic ability reigns supre. So supre, in fact, that it's also called the Magical Empire. Those who can use magic are prioritized, but on the other hand, those who can't are often labeled as incompetent. They fall all the way down the ladder of inheritance, are barred from entering any building that the empire's Magic Academy oversees and face many other penalties.
Basically, I've been pushed out of my mother's family into the Millards and my siblings avoid like the plague. How I even have a doting sister like Aqua is extrely strange.
With all that being said, the fact that I'll leave once I turn 13 is almost immutable. Understandably, I wasn't fond of the notion of living with fools who use my lack of magic ability as a reason to discriminate against , so I'm quite happy with how this has turned out.
As a side note, I've found that I can use Analyze Environnt on myself.

Title: Brain Monster
(ED: the "G-" is the ranking for said stat and the "(0/100%) is the amount of "exp" or "proficiency" he needs before leveling up that stat)
I'm extrely weak, but there's nothing I can do about that; it's always like this in the beginning. There's also no convenient level stat, so I don't know how high my stats can go, but I can slowly uncover that.
Additionally, my race na is corrupted, so it's impossible to understand or find the cause. This should also make more sense as I uncover more info.
Next, let's take a look at the Magical Blueprint.
To the right there's an empty box. Could this be a search engine?
I tried inputting fire into the blank space.
★ Magic

◇ Low

Low and dium, huh. That's probably an index of how strong the magic is.
Can I look into it with Analyze Environnt?
★ Magic Rank: The absolute index of magic strength
The 10 types are broken into Low, Middle, High, Top, Special, Super, Legend, God, Ultimate, and World rankings. As you progress through the rankings, you'll be able to display increasingly supernatural phenona.
The fact that it has already been classified into different ranks bodes well for understanding the concepts of magic.
Next is the limits of each respective rank.
★ Total Possible Creation Limit for Magic Ranks: The maximum number of grimoires you can create for each magic rank.
Low ---- 10000 Grimoires
Middle ---- 5000 Grimoires
High ---- 2500 Grimoires
Top ---- 1000 Grimoires
Special ---- 500 Grimoires
Super ---- 250 Grimoires
Legend ---- 100 Grimoires
God ---- 50 Grimoires
Ultimate ---- 20 Grimoires
World ---- 4 Grimoires
Basically, the maximum number of grimoires I can create for each magic rank is fixed, or sothing along those lines. I can't just endlessly pump them out, after all. That's the truth; it's only natural it be that way.
Then, let's try to actually create so magic.
I selected 【Fireball】and, much to my chagrin, a tallic box plopped out.
Inscribed on the lid was the following
★ 【Fireball】
Ingredients: 20 Rank G- magic stones, 1 fire stone
In short, I need to put those ingredients into the box, though the particulars on magic and fire stones are unknown. I should find out more about that.
I left my room and descended the stairs whereupon a white-haired man with a sharp glare, lightly bowed in my direction. He is Sebastian, the Millard family's butler. Among the servants, he's the only one who will associate with without any pretext.
"Magic stones are obtained after defeating monsters. Fire stones are used when setting fire to sothing. Here's one," Sebastian explained. To my question, he first stared perplexedly at with open eyes, but soon after pulled out a small red stone from his pocket and handed it to .
"Where do you get this? It's probably hard to obtain a fire stone, right?" I asked.
"Not at all. If you would like so, you may take this stone. Here you go," Sebastian offered.
"My deepe-... Thank you," I corrected myself, thanking him in a more normal way and quickly returned to my room.
Lastly were the magic stones. Since I couldn't get them without defeating monsters, there was only one thing to do.
Currently, I've just co to the forest, or rather, the『Ancient Forest』. The southern portion of the Millard family's most important village, Mirage, spans across this forest. I'm sure you've realized by now, but that's where I first awoke---below a cliff in the forest.
In the Millard territory, people only live in the northern basin, and the『Ancient Forest』encloses the territory from the south, extending to the northeast corner of said basin.
On the other hand, the territory's largest village, Mirage, lies in the southeast sector, enjoying easy access from all.
As such, despite the『Ancient Forest』being adjacent, the path is blocked by a cliff, aning Mirage is the safest village in the land.
On that note, I don't have to climb the cliff and can instead use my Save Point to comfortably travel to the forest. Hello, all-you-can-train ti.
I approached the nearest sli and drew out a copper dagger that the mansion so graciously lent . A bow was also in the warehouse where I had found the dagger, but I had not believed that I could hit anything with my skills and had quickly given up the idea.
Under the shadow of a tree I silently held my breath and soon after pierced the sli with my copper dagger in its back(?) where the mucus was flowing through it.
Suddenly, the entire sli liquified and sank into the ground, leaving behind a black stone.
I didn't want to risk it suddenly blowing up if I touched it or anything, so I first appraised it with my Analyze Environnt.
Sli's Magic Stone: A crystallized fragnt of the sli's soul.
Attribute: None
Rank: G-
A magic stone which is actually a fragnt of the soul. What a hackneyed thing from fantasy ... Well, whatever. When in Ro do as the Romans do, or so they say. I just have to do the sa thing until I get the 20 magic stones needed to acquire the skill,【Fireball】.
By now, it's clear that I can slaughter slis without a hitch, so for the anti I should make this area my hunting grounds.
After that, I hunted slis until evening and obtained 30 magic stones for my hard work.
I returned to my bizarrely narrow room that was almost like a storeroom and sat on the floor, taking out the silver box that served as a blueprint for the skill,【Fireball】.
Inside, I placed 20 magic stones and the fire stone, causing the box to transform into a book. Written on the front was 【Fireball】.
When I picked up the book, it began to glow, and a surge of warmth began to flow into my body. Additionally, the words 『By Grey Millard』were now carved on the front as well. I see, so it registered as the owner.
I quickly opened the book, when this-
Spell Na: 【Fireball】
Explanation: Let loose a ball of fla
Chant: "O red fla, gather betwixt my hands and turn to power"
Rank: Low
Proficiency: 0/100%
-appeared. In all likelihood your proficiency grows in proportion to how much you use it, up until you master the skill, 【Fireball】.
Early the next day, I left for the『Ancient Forest』in high spirits. I pointed the palm of my right hand to the sli in front of , chanting "O red fla, gather betwixt my hands and turn to power."
Imdiately after, a fireball around the size of a soccer ball rushed forward, slamming into the sli.
In an instant, the sli evaporated, and a magic stone fell to the ground. With this, I've gotten a ranged weapon. Next is to focus my all on training.
