Novel Bin Chapter 3 Shit! I'm Fucked!
Even though this came as a surprise, it didn\'t take me long to adjust myself to this world. In my old world, I was not that attached to anyone as I always had a social wall around me, thus I didn\'t have any hard feelings about leaving that world behind.
It\'s been six months since I reincarnated in this world and since then I spent some days collecting info to grasp the situation I was in.
My name in this world was Zero Blanks, with Blanks being my surname.
\'Now I have doubts about the naming skills of the people in this world.\'
My father was a noble and I was a part of a noble family but we were not those big nobles. The ranking of our family in the hierarchy was relatively low; if I compare it to my own world then you could say we were slightly above a middle-classed family.
The name of my father and mother was Ron Blanks and Ainge Blanks.
I asked them about what happened to me when I had that fever and shockingly, they told me that my health condition was worse and at that time my heartbeat and breathing stopped for a while.
If I take this the way things happen in novels then it was probably when the original owner of this body died and I took his place.
As for what I\'m up to right now, well, about that, yesterday happened to be my birthday and the day I turned 10 years old. Yes, I thought I was 10 before but I was wrong.
Today Ron had called me to meet him in his study, why? I don\'t know he didn\'t tell me. So for now I was headed over to that room.
On my way, I saw a girl with blonde hair walking in my direction. At first, I thought she was my mother but I was proved wrong when I saw her green eyes.
It was Anya, my older sister. I waved when I saw her and she replied with a nod.
"Where\'re you roaming around all alone?" she asked.
"Ah well…I don\'t know exactly, father has called me so I was just headed over there," I replied.
"Oh, yesterday was your birthday, right? It makes sense, okay," said Anya.
"What? Do you know anything about it?"
"I know but it would be better for you to find it out yourself. I don\'t wanna ruin your experience."
Now, this is suspicious. Don\'t tell me he smuggles children or has some weird fetish.
For a moment I felt like my chastity was in danger.
Anya picked up on that by looking at my troubled expression as she gave me a head pat. She was just a year older than me so it felt kinda weird.
"Don\'t worry you\'ll be fine," she said, letting out a small laugh.
You do know that by saying "I\'ll be fine" you mean there\'s something which can make me "not" fine.
After that she walked away leaving me behind, I stood there for a few seconds and then went toward the room he called me to.
Soon I reached there; I took a deep breath and calmed down myself as I stood before a door made of oak wood.
\'I will be fine, I will be fine, I will be fine,\' I thought as I put my hand on my chest.
Okay, I\'m ready now.
…Probably.
I pushed open the door and went inside; the room had a brown color carpet spread on the floor. There were a lot of bookshelves in the room giving it the perfect study-room vibes.
I looked over and saw Ron sitting on a sofa waiting for me to arrive. Noticing my presence he looked in my direction as his eyes meet mine.
"Oh, Zero. I was waiting for you, come I have something to discuss with you," he said as he pointed at the chair in front of him.
I nodded and went to the chair and sat. \'Seriously, what is this formal atmosphere?\'
"Zero you are the age of ten now," he stated before he cleared his throat and spoke again.
"At the age of ten, we are granted a special privilege in this world. Though no one can guess what it\'ll be. When you say the word \'Status\', you will be able to see your attributes, like your rank, strength, and mana capacity. Some lucky ones are born with high attributes and I think you are one of them. Since you came back from the dead I think you\'re quite lucky. And out of all, you are my son," he explained, there was a hint of pride in his voice.
"Come on, show me what you\'ve got!" he said.
So all this was just about status huh; I guess I really was overthinking.
Still though, status! I thought I was lucky enough to get reincarnated in a fantasy-type world but we also have status here!
And he also mentioned "mana capacity", does that mean there\'s magic also?
Seriously! Are you kidding me?
Well, there\'s only one way to find out, I just have to try it myself.
I nodded to Ron\'s explanation and then said, "Status!"
====STATUS====
Name: Zero Blanks
Rank: C
Mana capacity: D
Strength: D
Agility: D
Stamina: D
Skills-->
- [Foresight (Level 1)]
User can see 0.1 seconds in the future by using this skill.
=============
A white translucent screen appeared before my eyes when I said status aloud.
This was a pretty easy-to-understand status screen, I\'m glad that I didn\'t get one with a complex user interface.
"So, how\'s it looking?" Ron asked, his curiosity was on the ninth sky right now.
What should I tell him? My rank is C and my other attributes are D.
That doesn\'t count as high stats, does it? It would\'ve been a thing if I had an A or S rank.
The only thing that looks a bit broken is this skill I have; I mean I can see in the future, seriously!
Even though it\'s only point-one-second but it shows that the skill is level 1, which means the time period will increase as I level up.
"Umm, sorry to disappoint you father but I have pretty average attributes," I replied.
For the moment I decided not to tell him about my skill. I don\'t know if these types of skills are common or not and I don\'t want to get in any unnecessary trouble.
I saw a clear look of disappointment on his face when I told him that I have an average status. But he shook his head and regained himself, probably so I won\'t feel bad.
"Don\'t worry about that son. Having high attributes is a very rare thing, your sister was one of those lucky people so I thought you\'d also be the same," said Ron.
"Ahhhhhhh! What type of father am I!? Comparing kids is the worst of the worst things I could have done," he cried out aloud as he scratched his head in frustration.
Though one thing he said had caught my attention.
"What are sister\'s attributes?" I asked.
"I\'m sorry son, there\'s no need for you to feel inferior," he said, almost on the verge of crying.
"No no, it\'s really not like that. I\'m just asking out of curiosity, that\'s all," I said as I patted him on the shoulder.
"Your sister is very lucky in this, I don\'t know for sure but she has the highest rank in this whole city."
p
If my sister had high status then I can learn to use magic from her, she\'s a year older than me so she must\'ve learned some spells by now.
"She\'s an E rank," he said.
Wait! What?
"Ummm, dad. What\'s the average rank of people here?"
"Huh, it\'s F or G. Why are you asking that now?"
Shit! I\'m fucked!
