Chapter 8: Determination

Lumine didn't find his change abnormal. After all the life and death experiences Luis went through. It was normal for there to be a change in his mentality. But Lumine was still worried about him. She was worried if her son was really alright or just acting tough.

She knew his physical wounds might have been healed, but the near-death experience could have become a trauma for him. That is why she didn't want to leave him alone. She wanted him to let out everything. But she couldn't find the right words to come out of her mouth.

So she just touched his cheek gently and said, "I'm glad you are alright, son." Her eyes started turning moist. "W-When I imagine myself losing you. I don't know what I would have done." Her voice was shaky. New novel chapters are published on

Luis felt his heart tighten seeing his mother like this. He gently comforted her with his words. "I'm alright now, Mom," he stopped and Lumine turned to look into his eyes to check whether he was lying for her sake.

But what she saw were bright, determined eyes as he continued. "I don't want a repeat of this feeling of being weak. That's why I will get stronger. I'll become so strong that nothing can threaten my life. Then you won't have to worry."

His words were domineering. Some might think of him as na?ve and childish, or a pampered youth who don't know the world. It might have been the case for the old Luis. Because he was unaware of the true dangers of the world.

But for the new Luis, that was not the case. In his memory from the game, he was certain this world was very dangerous. Even in the game, he died a lot of times and still couldn't complete all the routes and some later sequels.

Now he didn't even have the protagonist's power, and this was a real world where there was no restart. He knows the dangers in the real world are far stronger than he can ascertain from the game's knowledge. Still knowing all that, Luis wanted to become the strongest. Because he knew that was the only way for him to survive in this strong eats weak world. Even if his parents were strong, they can't always protect him. He can only depend on his strength to live.

Before Lumine could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

"My lady. Young master. The food is here."

He felt this was the most probable reason. Because other than basic etiquette and some basic piano lessons. The old Luis had never studied it seriously. But everything was just so natural for him.

In his memory, after his first introduction to piano, he never practiced it again. Or took classes to learn it. But he can play it very well.

So this was the only conclusion Luis came to. It must be one of Luis' talents.

Talents.

In this world, people are born with some kind of talent that differentiates a genius from an ordinary. The majority of the people don't have any talents. So they can only push through with hard work.

But having a talent is an entirely different matter. If one has talent and puts in hard work, refining their talents. Their growth can be many times faster than a person with no talent.

The better the talent you have, the higher the potential. Normally, knowing what talent someone possesses is not possible. But what world we are in? Here, even magic is possible. Why can't someone know about their talents? One of the conditions to know one's talents is that one needs to possess some sort of energy. For example, an awakened can access and use mana energy, which is the most common form of energy for many species.

But that is just one of the conditions. Luis knew that just being awakened is not enough to know his talents.

'I better find out my talents first before I start making my future plans.' With this thought, he had already finished eating his meal. He took out a tissue to wipe his mouth off the leftovers of his previous munching.

When they noticed his actions, everyone sighed in relief. 'It seems young master was just a little hungry.' Seeing everything was alright and the young master had his meal. They took the empty plates and made their way out of the room, and bowed respectfully as they left.
