**Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - Gray to Color

I WANT TO DIE. I WANT TO DIE. With this in mind, I try to fall asleep. Falling asleep every night I think or dream about two things. It's either how I live a new life in another, new world, or whether it's worth living there at all. And as usual in the last few months, I fell asleep under the last.

I open my eyes and understand that a new, boring, gray day has begun again in a boring and gray world. No, of course, everything around is colorful, it's just that lately I've been looking at everything with my soul, which I have like old films or "Black and White" newspapers.

Looking out the window I understand that it’s probably around lunchtime. And in my head again the thought "go to mom again." Why? The answer is simple. My father is an alcoholic who only does what he drinks his moonshine who buys from all sorts of% N * "?;%. Speaking of their parents right now, they are over 60 years old, both of them are retired and I was gladdened by the sweat of old age. drunk who drinks his pension. It started about 1 year ago. Before that I loved my father. But now I just ... hate him. Eh ... okay with him now about my mother. She works in an atelier not far from our at home. When my father runs out of money or he wants a beer, he always sent me to my mother, but I refused him. And right now, when he calls his mother, he asks her every time "call his son, let him pass away" And my mother what? Well, I think that she just tired of it. Father asks for money, she gives. Asks for beer, I go to the store. This is my life.

By the way, about me. I'm 18 years old, an ordinary guy. I'm lying ... fat, lonely and unnecessary to anyone. I live in an ordinary apartment, and before that, until I was 9-10 years old, I lived in such an ordinary unpretentious village near the town. I don't even remember how many schools I have been to. Maybe I don't remember 3-4 schools, and it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I had no place anywhere. Everywhere I was a lonely outcast who was not needed by anyone. I didn’t have friends on whom I could rely, there were only temporary ones like our place of residence "One School, One House". In general, the life of a village boy among the bustle of the city.

Okay, where did I stop. That's right, my just another shitty day. Okay, I sit down at the computer again and continue reading where I left off. There are only a few things that save me in this world. First of all, these are all sorts of novels, but mostly they are about other worlds. And secondly, it's music. When I listen to it, I’m right in another dimension as if. Because of these things, I forget about my life and about the world in general.

Lately, all I have been thinking about is suicide. I always think maybe tomorrow will be different. It won't, if you want a new life, change yourself. But this is impossible for me. Can finish everything today and business with the end, "One, Two and done", only to do it smartly, but how? Jumping off the roof ... not an option. Pills ... not an option either. Open the veins ... and that, as I said, "One, Two, and it's done." Okay, decided I'm tired already. Maybe there will be peace and quiet on the other side ... well, I'll find out soon anyway.

Then they call me on the phone, I look at the screen "Mom". Well, the sooner I’m free, the more sure. I accept the call.

—Allo- (I)

—Allo- (Mom)

—What again should the "King" buy beer? - (I)

-Yes, come to me .- (Mom)

Okay, I'll come right now. - (I)

I quickly get ready, put on my headphones and go to my mother. going to her, he took the money and went to a nearby supermarket for a beer. After finishing all the cases in 20-30 minutes I go home. Going home, I quickly change into home clothes and enter the hall. The father lies on the couch and sleeps, and the room only stinks of alcohol and smoke. I leave the beer and go to my room, until the end of the day I am free. lying on the bed I think of only suicide. I don't know what clicked on me, but I made up my mind. Fuhh ... (Exhales) he took a knife from the kitchen, locked himself in the room, and propped the door with a chair. I sit looking somewhere into emptiness. I am sure from the outside it is clear that in my eyes there is neither life nor aspiration. Holding a knife in my hand, I cut the veins on one hand, and then on the other. I don’t know where all this comes from in me, but terrible pain has never been such a terrible pain in my life, but I got used to it after a while. I sit with an empty gaze and think only about what will await me after death. I sat there for a long time and then I lost consciousness.

I woke up somewhere ... in the sky? As if frozen in the air above the clouds and looking at the world from a great height. Mdaa .... I decided to look around in the hope of meeting with God or something. But no one is there.

“Hello young man.” A voice is heard around me. I look around again but no one is around. Empty.

“Um ... Hello.” I say hesitantly.

Don't worry. I think you want to know where I am and who? -Asks again the voice.

Well, I think I already know the answer. - I say I think that he probably does not want to deal with me or he does not have a body or even a creature far from a person. And who is the answer is clear, most likely God, the Creator, the Creator.

“And you're most likely right. But still, why did you decide to commit suicide? - (God)

Can't you just read my thoughts, memories? - (I)

“I can, but I don’t do that. Do you want to know why? - (God) -He asks if I want to know why he does not want to just read his mind. Maybe he just wants to chat as a person with a person or as with each other, and not a god with a mortal.

-Of course it's me)

Well, the answer is very simple. I don't want to get into other people's washes and memories, but just want to learn from ordinary communication .- (God) -He just wants to chat? Hmm .. Hike, my thought was correct.

“Well, I think that life has become gray and boring for me. In the world, if you want to live and not grieve, then you need money, but I don't have that luxury and I probably wouldn't. My life would be boring for the rest of my days. What's the point right now to die or later. Although maybe I would have found the meaning of life in love, but all the girls are just either whores who need money, or simple dummies. It is unlikely that I would have found that one .- (I)

-Hmm ...- (God) -He was silent for a while and most likely thought about his own.

“You have a rather strange outlook on life.” God answered me after a short pause.

“Well, I can agree with that. In one book I read that "strange people" are people who are not like most. And I'm probably more weird than normal .- (I)

“Your soul is a little interesting, outside it is covered with a large and dark mist, but in the middle it is gray and dull. Although it could be white and bright. How about I give you a second chance, you can choose whatever you want. Ask do not be shy .- (God)

You give me a second chance and offer wishes- (I) -Wow, I could not describe in words how glad I am. After all, I have always dreamed of that life outside the boring and gray Mirk. It's as if you were living in a one-room apartment dreaming of a whole mansion.

—Yes .- (God)

-Can you think a little? -I ask with the hope of consent.

-Yes of course. You don't have to worry about time - (god)

I sat for a long time and pondered what to ask and where to go. I've always dreamed of having a family where you don't give a damn, so I'll definitely ask about rebirth. And I definitely will not ask to be reborn in a world like Naruto or DxD, in general I want an ordinary Magic World that is unlike others. and wishes for strength, then I would like the strength of the Main Hero from "Leveling Up Alone". I’m still going to be alone, and this power suits me very much. Only without the system itself, because all the same it will disappear like that of the Main Hero. You can also ask, for example, the magic of "Creation" or "Creation". To create things from nothing well, or from mana, energy, this power would be quite convenient. I would also like the magic of moving around the Magic Worlds. You can also ask for a system but only with the "Shop" function where I could buy Shadows or skills that are combined with darkness. Well, I also think the usual talent for magic will not hurt.

—I think that I decided— (I) —And I tell him everything I wished for.

Do you want to be reborn in the Magic World? If you still have wishes for this? - (God)

-Hmm .... Well, I would like to be born into an ordinary family of commoners and that in this world, for example, at the age of 15, something like a Spirit awakens. And so that my Spirit would have the power of the "Lord of the Shadows" while others had, for example: "Swordsman", "Archer", "Healer" and others like that. To make the spirit or something unique there. And also I want to awaken my memories at 13 years old as well as my strength. - (I)

-Yes, I can arrange it for you .- (God)

“Umm ... But can I find out what your name is before you send me. -I ask with the hope that he will answer me.

-Yes you can. My name is Daat .- (God)

—Thank you .- (I) —And I lose consciousness, and in my head there are only thoughts about the future and new life in a completely new world, unlike the old one**.

2 Chapter 2 - First Steps

[So I woke up.] - My first thought was when I woke up. With my eyes closed, I tried to get up as I understood from the bed probably. Having passed to a half-sitting and half-lying position, I opened my eyes and decided to inspect the place where I am. Hmm ... the usual room is really quite cramped. I am lying on an ordinary bed in the room, by the way, the same bed is next to each other across the table. [Maybe this is the bed of my brother or sister. Or maybe I'm in the local hospital right now.] - Okay, I have done a survey of the area now I need to examine my new body. So that we have a face, I do not see, and I did not see a mirror in the room. And the body itself is thin and a little pale. The clothes are as I expected, the common clothes of the commoners. By the way, what about the memories of this new body. There is no headache and no new knowledge about this world.

And right there at that moment a lot of information came into my head, starting with my new name and ending with the knowledge of how to use the power of moving around the Worlds. To my surprise, there was no pain, and the very fact that I now know a lot helped me.

So what we have I am in Theonor Kingdom. It was named after the first king who ruled for a long time. In Theonor there are 7 regions ruled by the Dukes, and in each region there are already other regions, from a small one ruled by Barons to large regions ruled by Marquis. We live in the area of ​​Count Arcanum Titius. His family was very famous for their scientific activities. They searched for and mined various ancient relics, artifacts and skill books. Of course, I did not see the capital in my memories, but according to rumors it is still quite large. The town in which we live is small, and my new family's house is on the outskirts. Seven I have not a big Mom, Dad and Sister. Mom works as a cook at Sisters May and Lei's town tavern. My father works as a security guard. He is on duty in the city. And my sister, or better sister, because she is ... the older sister. Yes, you understood correctly, she is 2 years older than me, she is now 15. By the way, she recently awakened her "Class". Not everyone can awaken "class" here, and it does not depend on the fact that you are from a rich family or from a poor one. Most people say that this is a gift from the Gods. Well, my sister awakened the "Class" - "Healer". Well, I think it will suit her because even though she is 2 years older than me, she behaves like a younger sister. Her hair color is black and her eyes are silver, her nature has deprived her height and she is smaller than me and she is also very sweet and shy. She has no friends and she communicates only with me.

By the way, the question is why I am lying here alone. Um ... "Old Me" I guess ... actually I was working in a farmer field and just fainted. Probably the farmers brought me here. Okay, we figured it out too, but we'll figure it out about my strength later.

“Oh, are you awake yet?” I hear a voice from the groan of the door. I turn my head and see a very beautiful girl. This is my sister. Judging by her appearance, she is very worried, it is nice to know that they are worried about you.

“Um .... Yes. I just woke up recently. How did I end up here? - (I)

“Well, you fainted and the farmers brought you here, they said not to worry and that you were just tired and you just needed a little rest. And I decided to stay and wait until you wake up. Are you really okay? - (Sister) - By the way, I haven't said her name yet. Okay, let's start in order. My father's name is Jack, my mother's name is Eila, my sister's name is Seal, and my name is Sam.

“Yeah, I'm fine, just overworked a little, don't worry, I'm really fine. But you shouldn't have stayed for me - (I)

I was worried and decided to stay, you know me. - (Seal) - Yes, I know her. She worries about me very often.

-Yes I know. But you can not pass the exam to the Academy .- (I) -Sil decided to enter the Academy in the capital and she needs to prepare for it in order to pass. This Academy is quite large and it is not difficult to enroll there and I am sure that it will. Or maybe we will go there together.

“But I'll take it and do it, and leave you here to die of boredom. Although if you awaken the "Class" then maybe you can go there too. Although you are unlikely to be able to enter. - (Seal) - Well, yeah, I can't. I will have the most powerful "Class" in the history of this world. And with him I can easily do.

“What if I wake up my" Class "and pass the exam better than you? - (Me).

“Besides, you faint because of work, and you also want to awaken your" Class "and become better than me. Dream about .- (Seal).

-Listen, and I told you that the role of "Big Sister" does not suit you, hee-hee.-I say and laugh softly. While she puffed out her cheeks. Nice little thing.

-You are a spiteful person .- (Seal) - and rushes at me with his fists. And I just put her money on the bed and start tickling until she asks for mercy. Well, I didn't wait long.

“S-s-wait, p-p-please, I-I s-surrender .- (Seal) - I often tickled her so much and she already remembered that it was better to surrender.

“Okay, you're forgiven. "Little Sister" - (I) -And I smile, and she puffed out her cheeks.

-But I'm still 2 years older than you .- (Offended Sil).

“And for me you will always be the youngest.” And I stroke her head. By the way, I think it's worth testing your new strength. -Okay, Seal, I'll go for a walk for now, and you go to train for the exam .- (I)

Well, just be careful- (Sil) - And he goes about his business.

And I decided to go to the forest to test my strength and for training. It's good that the forest is nearby. On the way to the forest, I now and then met ordinary residents and ordinary wooden houses. Already in the woods, I decided to do my usual workout: push-ups, squats, pull-ups and running. In the old world, I did not particularly like physical education and training, and therefore I was fat then, maybe if I went in for sports I would not dare to commit suicide. Although what has been done cannot be changed, the old is in the past and must be forgotten, although I may be able to return to the old world with the help of the "World Travel" magic. Okay, nevermind.

After 2-3 hours I had already finished everything and right now I was lying on the ground all in sweat. I never thought that training could be like this. Looking at the sky, I understand that the sun has already begun to set. My parents and sister will probably be worried if I linger until dark. Although I love the night, I feel a little free in it. Okay, I think we should still go and "Meet" the parents. Approaching the house, I noticed one couple. A guy, a girl and a little boy. Before, I always represented the family. My family, where I have a loving wife and lovely children. but in the old World it is impossible to find that one. But here I will find that one. I will search even if I have to go around all places and all Worlds. Ehh ... something I was staring at, they noticed my look and decided to leave quickly. Do I really look like a murderer or a kidnapper. I do not understand. After they left, I decided to go home.

3 Chapter 3 - New Parents and Little Problems

Opening the front door and going inside in the nose immediately hit the smell of food. It smelled great, so I must have been drooling. And I just now remembered that I had not eaten in this world when I came to my senses. Following the smell, I came across a small room, probably the kitchen. In the kitchen, a man of about 35 was sitting at the table, and next to the table a girl was also about 35, but maybe a little younger. These are my new parents Mom and Dad. Mom is 32 years old and Dad is 37 years old. From memories I remember how they often told us with Seal exactly how they met. Mom was not local and therefore, having met the Pope, asked him where to find a job. My father said about all sorts of places where people are needed. This was their first meeting. After that they often began to see each other, and after a while my Father decided to invite Mom on a date. That's how she met, and then began to live together. The house in which we live right now belonged to the Father, he received it from his Father, my Grandfather. True, Grandfather is no longer alive, he died in the war even before my Father and Mother met.

Now, looking at them, they really look like a married couple.

I probably stood in the aisle for a few seconds while remembering. Mom and Dad have already seen me. Mom, putting the plates on the table, came up to me and touched my forehead with her hand and asked.

"Sam, are you okay?" And where have you been? - (Mom) - Judging by the expression on her face, she is concerned. Well, yes, I didn’t go anywhere except as part-time work on the farm, and when she returned I was already at home.

“Yes, Mom, I'm fine, don't worry, I just fainted, I’ll rest and be as good as new. And I went for a walk and breathe fresh air, otherwise it was stuffy at home .- (I)

-Yes? Okay, sit down at the table .- (Mom)

—Okay Mom- (I) -Sitting at the table, I decided to ask how things are with Father at work:

Listen, Dad, how are you doing at work? - (I)

Everything is fine in the city, only bandits probably began to attack the korovanny on the main road. - (Dad) - This main road is the one that leads directly to the capital and a long way to it.

Is everything so serious? - (I)

“No, this was just a lot of problems for the guards before. Mer has already sent a request to the "Adventurers Association" in a few days a team will arrive and deal with these bandits as usual .- (Dad) -Hmm ... I remember that "Adventurers Association" is the same as the Adventurers Guild from the novels I read. And there you can also form a team of several people. In the "Association of Adventurers" mainly people who already have a "Class" enter and only some ordinary people there who do not have "Class skills".

-I'm sure they can handle it .- (I)

“Sam listen, go for Seal, or she’s already late, okay?” - (Mom)

—Yes well— (I) —I got up quickly and went to the exit at the end saying — I’m quick Mom, Dad.

I quickly went to the place where Seal is training. She always trains at the City Hospital. Since she is a "Healer", she trains her "Healer" skills by healing sick people, thereby increasing her mana reserves and effective "Class skills". She also trains her endurance in the morning by running on the outskirts of town.

After 5-10 minutes I went to the hospital and what I saw there just pissed me off. My sister is lying on the ground while supporting her body with her hands. The white dress in which she was in the morning was covered in mud, and next to her were teenagers: 3 guys and 2 girls. They threw small lumps of mud at her, just like snowballs during the winter, and at the same time they said something. I could not take it any longer and ran up to them as quickly as possible. The closest guy to me was, I quickly took all the strength into a fist and hit him on the head, he fell down and probably lost consciousness. After training, before going home, I got used to the strength a little. After all, because of the "Class" - "Lord of the Shadows" I can become stronger because of everyday training, so I am sure that the greenhouse is alive and only unconscious. The other four were already looking at me. There was a little fear in their eyes, I'm sure they are shaking a little now. I looked at them and said in a cold voice:

“Once again, if I see you all next to my Sister, then I’ll break your bones for all of you, you understood me.” - (I) - You could see that they were scared, because when they mocked Sil or me, I was always silent. But because of my rebirth, I am no longer the one who will be silent, because I have the strength with which I can live peacefully. I do not think that they will dare to fight, because they are you yourself an ordinary street punks. Their parents are ordinary workers, so they can only intimidate loners.

-X-x-khor-rosho- (One of the guys) -They approached hesitantly and picked up the boy who was unconscious and quickly ran away. And in the meantime, I went up to Sil helped her to get up, and after looking directly into her eyes in which there was concern, I say.

“All is well, Sil don’t worry, I’m already here and no one else will touch you. I promise .... Okay, let's go, because Mom is probably already worried. I'm sure if we do not pass in the near future, then it is better to look for where we can wait out the storm .- (I) -I am jokingly looking at how Seal smiles. There was no longer any concern in her eyes.

Yes, let's go, Sam. - (Seal)

After going home, Seal quickly went to our room. Probably to change. Meanwhile, I went to the kitchens where Mom and Dad were already waiting. Mom, seeing me, says:

Sam and where is Seal? - (Mom)

-She went into the room to change, she will soon pass .- (I)

-Sit well at the table .- (Mom)

A few minutes later, Seal entered the kitchen in a new dress. A little dirt in her hair is not so visible, I probably need to go to the lake for a swim tomorrow. We do not often go to the lake to swim as it is quite far away. I think you just need to run there to swim and that's it. When my mother saw Seal she said:

—Oh God Sil, what’s wrong with your hair? - (Mom)

“Oh, nothing like that Mom .. Just got a little dirty with anyone.” - (Seal)

Well, be a little more careful. OK, Mom)

—Yes Mum, don’t worry .- (Seal)

And so we sit at the table with the whole family and eat. And when I tried my mother's food for the first time, I was pleased because it really was delicious. I have to ask my mother to teach me how to cook, but that’s later. Having finished everything that got into me, I quickly thanked my mother and wished them good night, went to the room to sleep, since I was damn tired for today. I quickly went to bed thinking about what happened and what might happen.

First, it is today. Today I have been training and even now I feel that I have become a little stronger than when I woke up. I met my new relatives. I am glad that I have such a family that you love and that loves you. I also arranged a little conversation with the local bullies. And secondly, I think tomorrow to test other forces. And I also think it's worth going to the "Adventurers Association" or going with my sister to the Academy in the capital. Both are in the same place. Although I will probably go to the Academy, because there is probably a library and in it you can learn a lot of new things that may be useful in the future. And on this note, I plunge into the world of dreams. Today was a cool day.
