"Holy shit, I'm not even a month old, and I'm already this overpowered!" Ravin mentally thought, awestruck.

"I'll definitely be using all my skills.... but first, I should start collecting mana in both my dantian and mana core."

He began absorbing the mana present in the area at an astonishing speed, almost as if the mana itself was rushing toward him. To his surprise, he discovered that he didn't have the mana core he got from his system, nor could he store mana in his dantian. Instead, mana flowed freely through his organs and bloodstream, as though it belonged there. It was as if his entire body served as a storage vessel for mana—an ability typically reserved for dragons, who can only store mana in their hearts, granting them nearly unlimited energy and making them among the most powerful beings in the world, and now his whole body was a vessel for mana.

"Incredible.... I'm basically a walking mana core at this point."He thought with a smile curling up on his face.

"Amazing! I'll never have to worry about running low on mana. No, no, I shouldn't get too cocky and arrogant. I may have an absurd amount of potential, but not much power right now."

After reflecting on this, Ravin continued to absorb mana, slowly conditioning his body with it to increase his stats. Despite having over 200 stat points, he couldn't use them yet due to his age and small body, so he decided to strengthen his body slowly and naturally.

THREE YEARS LATER....

Ravin maintained his routine of conditioning his body with mana, eating, and sleeping, and now he was three years old. During this time, he learned the language of this world and could speak it fluently with his cute and divine voice.

He also asked Grace to teach him how to write, and she happily agreed. She was amazed to see him grasp everything quickly and be able to write perfectly in just two weeks.

Ravin was a stunning child with lustrous silver hair and vibrant purple eyes that were filled with innocence and a hint of mischief, standing at 3'7 feet, making him taller than the other children in the orphanage. He had this gentle aura that drew people to him

One thing he noticed was that everyone in the orphanage were mortals. The orphanage was managed by an elderly couple named Grace and Aurther, who took care of eleven children, including him. Even though they were not wealthy, they did their best to keep all the children happy.

----

Ravin's POV:

"This..... this is the same orphanage from which the final boss of the third act, Alicia, comes."

She was abused and tortured by her parents daily. When they were killed by monsters, she was sent to this orphanage at the age of seven. Just when she finally felt safe and happy, everyone was killed except her, and she ended up being sold into slavery when she was twelve. After she was abused and used for nearly 2 years she was finally rescued and sent to the Nelix Academy, but it was already too late, and she ended up being a villain. As I recalled the plot of the game I felt sad for her.

"I really pity her and would like to save her and this orphanage this time."

I thought to myself, remembering that I was also an orphan in my previous life and was never treated well and was always on my own, but in this life, I have the old couple who take care of me and all the children with love, despite facing financial problems they still tried their best to give the children everything they could.

"Hmm, I want to help them financially.... but I can't make it look like I'm doing this for them. That might cause them to feel indebted to me."

After thinking about it for a while I got a brilliant idea. "I can use my Singing and Music talent to do performances and earn money that way. It would look like I am just talented and want to just perform for myself."

This world is just as advanced as my previous world if not more, and has all types of instruments.

After thinking about it for a while I went and asked Aurther:

"Can you teach me how to play the piano and how to sing?"

To which Aurther gently smiled and said:

"Of course, my boy. I would be happy to teach you."

Even though I know how to sing and play every instrument, thanks to my skill, I still kept practicing piano and singing for two months to not raise any suspicion.

Aurther after seeing my absurd talent, one day gave me a small guitar for my size even though I told him that it was unnecessary, to which he just chuckled and said:

"Consider a gift for always helping Grace and taking care of the children."

After practicing for another month, I finally asked Aurther that I wanted to sing and perform with guitar in front of people, to which he quickly denied it at first but after some convincing with my puppy eyes, he finally agreed but said in a tone with finality:

"You can perform..... But only when you are at least five."

After that, I continued my routine of practicing piano and guitar for 2 hours a day, training for 1-2 hours and then improving the flow of mana in my body and practicing my control over it while practicing swordsmanship with Aurther.

When Aurther saw me training, he taught me some basic sword techniques, and after seeing my talent, he continued teaching me.
