Rebirth in Aetheria: The Rise Of The Underdogs
Aetheria

After about two years of my incarnation, my legs were already really strong to support my body to walk. I can also speak and understand the language of the world.

Once I can move with my feet, I have thought about what I have to prepare to live this world, and one of them is that I have to learn to read and write in this world. Maybe for a teenage man it is not difficult to learn a language but for people who hate learning as much as I did in my old life it is a very hard lesson.

My mother is Valeria Venturis, and my father is Lucas Venturis. My father was an adventurer and my mother he used to be just like my father he was an adventurer as well, but after they married my mother decided to stop being an adventurer and preferred to take care of this little family.

Every night I would sneak into my father's training room, there were some very thick books, and I would pick up one of them, in the front volume of the book it says “History of Aetheria” but I still can not read the contents of the book.

One year passed

I am 3 years old also can read the language in the book, after every time I read the book, I began to understand it turns out the world that I am in today is Aetheria, Aetheria, and the healing energy my mother used came from Aether. Maybe the concept of Aether is almost the same as the concept of which of the video games I used to play.

In this world there are 4 races led by their respective kings. The first was the human king who presided over the Etherealist kingdom which was located to the west and was the political center, culture and science and also has the best magic Academy in all races namely Aghatis magic Academy.

The second was the elf king who led the Eralianth Kingdom located in the northern area of the Elarianth Kingdom was a majestic and graceful kingdom inhabited by the Elf race. Set within a lush, magical and beautiful forest, this kingdom stands as a sacred place to the Elves and a source of countless miracles. Its name "Elarianth" comes from the Elf language meaning "Star Forest," referring to the glittering light brought about by the sunlight that pierces the canopy of trees in this kingdom.

The third was the dwaf king who led the Stonewrought kingdom located to the east, Stonewrought Kingdom was a majestic kingdom inhabited by the Dwarven race. Set within rugged, winding mountains, the kingdom was built with the strong hand-in-hand expertise of Dwarves skilled in stone and metal art. Its name "Stonewrought" comes from the Dwarven language meaning "Kingdom Formed from the Rock," reflecting the Dwarves' toughness and perseverance in creating their kingdom in the middle of the mountains.

And the last was the beastkin king who led the Wildthorn Kingdom located in the southern area, the Wildthorn kingdom was a vast and beautiful kingdom inhabited by the Beastkin race. Set amidst dense and wild forests, the kingdom becomes a sacred place for the Beastkins and a place where their connection to the wild blossoms. The name "Wildthorn" comes from the beauty of the surrounding wilds and the representation of the strength and courage of the Beastkins.

In this world witches had several classifications, the first being the Mystic Warrior and the second the Mystic Mage.

Mystic Warrior is a magician who specializes in strengthening the body by distributing Aether throughout the body. Embed the Aether in the air and strengthen itself by purifying it. But they can only do it during meditation not while fighting.

The strength of the Mystic Warrior was its strong stamina, its meager use of Aether, its strong body. And the disadvantage is to have a limit on the number of Aether that can be used when fighting.usually close range attacks, because it depends on the size of the use of Aether.

While the Mystic Mage was a magician who could develop the ability to absorb Aether from its surroundings and remove it from the body, they could purify and thicken the Aether in the Aether core. by combining the Aether core themselves and the Aether from the outside, they could cast magic spells around it or on a target. Strength: Long-range magic fast absortion ability, low Aether core dependency. Weaknesses: The speed of Aether distribution within the body is quite slow, it takes time to cast a spell and is vulnerable in danger.

Each person has an Aether core inside him and the Aether core tiers in divided into several color-dependent classes from his Aether core. The brighter and cleaner the Aether core that is owned the more Aether that can be manipulated.

Aether core levels Black, Red, Orange, Yellow, Silver, White.

The Aether core level cannot be a benchmark for one's power level but the higher the Aether core the better at manipulating magic. Each color is divided into dark, core, and light. From weak to strongest.

Aether cores usually rise when humans enter the juvenile mas about 11 to 13 years. As for Elves usually rise faster than humans, dwaf and beastkin.

To awaken the Aether core is usually done by meditating to unite all the pieces of Aether scattered in the body to become a core.

Affinity Element divided into 4 namely Wind, fire, earth, and water.

Witches can sense elements at birth, witches who have wind affinity can learn other elements, but not as fine as wind elements.

But there were some people who were able to raise the basic element towards the advanced level that was Divine Seer. Each race had a difference in manipulating the Element.

Elves could only manipulate the 3 Elements namely wind, earth, and water and their Divine Seer level was Sound and herbs. Whereas the dwaf could only manipulate the 2 Elements namely Fire and earth and their Divine Seer level was metal and magma. Beastkin could only manipulate the 3 Elements of fire, water, and earth. And their Divine Seer level was Lightning and fog.

Whereas humans can manipulate the 4 basic Elements and Divine Seer levels as diverse as Lightning, Sound, Ice, and Gravity. But there are some Divine Seers who are not bound to the Element like my mother Mytic Healer who has healing magic or Light.

When I finished reading the book I immediately did what the book told me to meditate so that I could form the Aether core. When I was just starting meditation my mother caught me and hugged me.

“It turns out you are here yes Arthur, just deserve mom looking in your room no.” My mother said as she lifted my body and smiled.

I just wanted to do some meditation but my mom caught me.

Suddenly I dirty my pants, my mother who saw my pants dirty immediately cleaned it and took me to bed. At least in this one year I have to meditate to form my Aether core.

After my mother cleaned my pants and took me to bed, I felt a little awkward. I wanted to immediately continue the meditation to form my Aether core, but I also had to be careful not to make my mother suspicious. I knew that I had to keep all of this a secret from him.

After I lay down on the bed, I closed my eyes and tried to focus on breathing. I'm trying to remember the clues from the book "History of Aetheria" I just read. Meditation is the key to bringing together the scattered pieces of Aether in the body and forming a strong core.

As I felt the calmness flowing through my body, I imagined the pieces of Aether inside me churning together. But it seems that it is very difficult to do with a very fast time, it is appropriate that ordinary humans rise during adolescence because all the pieces will form by themselves. But by meditating I can speed up uniting my core.

However, after a while of meditation, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching my room. I hurriedly opened my eyes and pretended to be asleep when my mother entered the room. I hope he doesn't suspect.

My mother walked up to me gently and patted me on the back. "Sleep well, son. Tomorrow morning, your father will take you to the city for the first time. He wants you to see how life is outside the home" she said in a soft voice.

I smiled at him and nodded, pretending to be half awake. "Good, mom. I'm going to sleep again. Thank you, mother," I replied weakly.

A few days passed when my family and I went to the city for shopping, the first time I saw a city in this world was quite astonished because some people were walking around carrying weapons. Is there no law in this world?

When my mother started introducing me to some items and artifacts, I was only focused on a weapon shop not far from where we were. My father who saw me watching the gun shop immediately smiled.

“Nah son, if you really want a weapon later when at home we will practice swinging a sword.”

Mother who heard my father's words immediately denied. “Darling, our son has just turned 3, how can you teach him to swing a sword.

My father just laughed a little. After we got home, my father took me to the front of the yard and taught me the basics of swordsmanship.

"Well, Arthur, first of all, hold your sword firmly and firmly," said my father, giving an example of how to properly hold the sword.

I grasped the wooden sword that my father had prepared. As I held onto it, I felt a little awkward, yet I tried to imitate my father's movements and grip.

"Remember, Arthur, your posture must be firm and stable. Put the left foot in front, and the right foot slightly backwards. This will provide a better balance when moving," my father continued.

I can't believe he taught a 3-year-old to follow his instructions whether he understood it or not. But I tried to follow his instructions carefully. Although it was a bit difficult at first, I tried to focus on understanding the correct movements and positions.

"Good, Arthur. Now, we'll start with the basic moves. Straighten your arms and focus your gaze on the opponent. Pull your sword back and make a sharp move forward" my father said while showing a fundamental movement.

I tried to follow his movements, moving my sword meticulously. Although not very smooth.

My father gave further instructions on various sword movements and techniques. We practiced over and over again, he corrected improper positions and movements patiently.

"Give your eyes to the opponent, Arthur. Try to react to every move I make" my father said with a smile.

I followed seriously, trying to read my father's movements and responding quickly. The longer it took, the more comfortable and used to the sword in my hand.

"You did well, Arthur. You have great potential to become a Mystic Warrior expert"

The mother who saw me practicing the sword immediately rushed up to us and hit my father on the head, for providing me with dangerous training. But I just smiled because with them, I felt what family was.

We practice the sword every day. My father taught me a variety of techniques, and I tried to hone those skills as best I could. Dana nightnya I do meditation to form the core of my core.
