"Once you awoken to your orgin it becomes nearly impossible to stray from it. Your actions will subconsciously go along with your orgin. It basically becomes an absolute order that one must follow." Granny explained.
I already knew this from what I read online in my previous life, but beimg told it directly makes it pretty terrifying in a way...
"As for your element, that's pretty easy to understand. You will usually have one element that you are capable using, such as my family it's always been fire." She continues.
Granny still hasn't told me what family she comes from. Part of me doesn't want to know because I have a feeling it would only cause problems down the road...
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Granny asks.
I nod my head and she sighs as she takes out some kind of ball. "Pour some prana into this."
I do as she asked and the ball instantly lit up. Granny looks at the orb and goes slightly wide eyed at what she reads. She then looks up at me with a curious expression, along with a slightly pitying one.
"Alright...It says your orgin is 'Infinite', what that may entail is unkown to me like most orgins. Your element is unfortunately 'sword', something I've never heard of."
SYSTEM UPDATING...
INPUT USER ORGIN...
INPUT USER ELEMENT...
A cold chill goes through my spine, causing my muscles to tense and lock up. Granny keeps talking, but it sounds oddly muffled.
SYSTEM UPDATED
ORGIN ADDED
ELEMENT ADDED
I blink at the messages before dismissing them, the odd feeling having disappeared when they showed back up.
"...are you listening to me, brat?" Grannys annoyed voice breaks me from my thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I was lost in my thoughts. Can you please repeat what you said?" I ask politely.
She huffed before speaking. "I said that it's going to be very hard for you to learn any magecraft due to having an unkown element. You'll probably not be able to get passed being a third rate magus, you'd be lucky if you even got to second rate."
Her words stab me straight through the heart. Of course I so happen to get Shirou's element, damn!
...Well fine! I was a swordsman before a magus anyway, I guess I just get more time to dedicate to the sword. I-i mean I have a gamer ability! All the people of the world would envy such a power if they knew I possesed it! Though others would probably kidnap me and dissect me to see how such a thing exists or something.
Supressing a shiver I let out a nervous smile to Granny. "w-well I suppose I'll be off then!"
After waving goodbye I start running back to the D'arc farm. Today I'm going to be teaching Jeanne some more on language. Lord knows she picks that up a hell of a lot better then math...
Smiling to myself at the memories of Jeanne trying to understand even basics of math and horribly failing. Once I was far enough away from the village I start to shunpo back.
Arriving at the decently sized farm I head on inside and immediately get hugged by an exited blonde.
"Regis~! Welcome home!" I rub the girls head with a smile.
Ever since I started teaching her she's been even more attached to me then before. Mentally shrugging I lead Jeanne to the table and we begin todays lesson.
*ding ding*
The orange music notes mark the familiar end of our lesson today. I'm starting to get the feeling that my relationship rating is off or something. Why does the music notes keep happening?
...Whatever, no need to worry about it I suppose. I head of to my room and close the door behind me.
"Lets see here..." Opening my menu I hit the magecraft portion and look at my new additions.
《ORGIN: INFINITE》
You represent the infinite, your very existence denies fate. Use the power you've received as you see fit.
《ELEMENT: SWORD》
[passive]
300% increase on EXP gained from bladed weapons mastery
I raise an eyebrow at the orgin. Is it giving me the okay to change history or something? Is it talking about the gamer ability? I don't get any noticeable buffs or anything, but it might surprise me in the future.
I pump my fist at seeing the bonus from my element. That'll help speed my training up for sure!
For the rest of the time until dinner I organized my items inside my inventory...
2 years later
[Aincrad: 35th floor]
[Forest of wandering]
Fucking hell, I hate this fucking forest!! This is way worse then the third floors 'forest of wavering mist'! I've been here for like twenty minutes and I'm already lost!
"*sigh*" Releasing an exasperated sigh I continue my aimless walking.
Seriously I can't even back track in this place. The woods change around you the instant you step off the path...
huh, wasn't there something like that in the...Hobbit? Damn it's been a while since I watched a movie.
I snap to attention as I feel some kind of danger and jump back. Not a second after I jumped back was a sharp branch impaled where I previously stood.
Unsheathing my sword I get ready to attack the pseudo tree that attacked me.
TWISTED TREE LV. 39
The fake tree lashes out with it's branches again, but this time I cut through them. The tree roars as it's branches regrow.
It let's out another roar as it prepares to attack again. My vision gets a dark tint to it as I forsee the incoming attack. It's going to stab from both sides.
My vision goes back to normal and the tree begins it's attack like I knew it would. In response I dashed forward without worry, using sonic leap to finish the job.
YOU HAVE GAINED 2000 EXP
Sheathing my sword with another sigh I walk aimlessly once again.
The skill I used to see the monsters' attack was strike vision. It's pretty weak right now, but as I increase it's level more of it's abilities get unlocked.
STRIKE VISION LV. 23/100]

"Ah!" I see a stone path. "YES! THANK GOD!"
I sprint to the path with a huge grin before I realise something...
"Which way do I go!?"
a few hours later
"ugh..." I groan as I finally arrive back in the real world, dropping to my bed. I fell into the sweet embrace of soothing unconsciousness...
a little while later...
"Breakfasts ready, regis!" Jeans voice rang out from outside the door.
I let out another loud groan at the thought of getting up. It's been, like, one hour! I need sleep! Stupid Forest! I didn't even end up going the right way!
The person who designed that forest is officially on my growing shit list.
Releasing a sigh, I stand up and stretch before changing into a simple shirt and trousers.
At least I wasn't plaugued with another one of those not so random dreams.
I've been getting that same dream about preparing myself every now and then during the past two years. It's always the same, the soldiers, the fire, and lastly telling me to prepare myself.
Coincidence? I think not.
Whatever is telling me to prepare, there must be a reason for it. Maybe I wasn't sent here for nothing...
So following the orders of the mysterious voice, I've thrown myself into a harsh training regime. Physical training during the day and mastery grinding at night. I only recently started tackling the higher floors in aincrad.
Oh, and of course I still make time for hanging out with the other kids. I even started training Jean and Pierre in wielding the sword. Jeanne joining in as well, thankfully.
My mastery made quite the rise after my element was added to the system. Currently I'm sitting at a nice 701.3 mastery over one handed blades. I have no idea how good that is compared to any one else, though. Dad was in his 200's and he was just a guard.
I got getsuga tenshou as well. Though I was slightly annoyed with the SP cost. No spamming for me, though I guess it makes sense. After all I'm literally flinging pure energy out of my blade...
[GETSUGA TENSHOU LV. 7/100]
-[Nameless] [SP 300]
-[Named] [SP 600 plus]
I was embarrassed out of my mind when I did my first named getsuga tenshou. It felt like those days when you were a kid and you just finished watching DBZ so you go outside to try using kamehame waves or special beam cannon. (I was the former)
I felt like a damn chuunibyou(eight grade syndrom).
Though that embarrassment turned to happiness when a crescent shaped blue beam shot from my sword and annihilated my enemy. It takes a long time to get it to level though, since it takes pretty much half to all of my SP in one go.
"Good morning Regis." Isabelle greeted warmly.
A greeting I returned with slightly tired grumbling. What? I got an hour of sleep because of that damned forest! Don't judge me!
"Rough night?" She put down a plate of food in front of me.
"Yes, yes it was..." I replied without hesitation before starting to devour the rye 'pancake'.
It doesn't really taste like anything and the texture has much to be desired...
Thus is the life of a poor family, yet I don't find myself complaining all that much. It's nice being free from all the smog and pollution of the modern days.
...though it does smell like shit when you go to the larger towns.
Quickly finishing my breakfast and chugging down some water I head outside for my morning exercises.
One thing I really wish I had access to was weights. They would make physical training so much easier.
But no, here I am doing around 300 pushups to get a single STR stat. Surprisingly sit ups raise VIT for some reason while squats raise STR as well, not AGI.
By the time I'm finished with the exercises I'm sweating buckets. Splashing water on myself to get rid of the sweat I take out four wooden swords.
"We're ready Regis!" Right on time, the three siblings appear in front of me with eager eye's.
"Alright here you are. Go through the forms I've taught you so far and I'll give you critique on it." I hand each of them there sword, keeping one for myself.
They then started to do just as I asked and went through forms, slashing at empty space.
"Square your shoulders more." I told Pierre.
"Use your hips not just arm strength." I scolded Jean amd Jeanne.
After a few more tries in their part I show them how to do it. They then mimic me and steadily improve.
My eye's wandered onto Jeannes training form(not in a perverted way, thank you very much). I wonder how she'll do now that she's training earlier.
While her math is...not that great, she is doing decent in written language. Though it's a shame that the bible isn't translated until later in history. If I remember correctly, currently it's only available in latin. I don't think I can even learn latin...
The only reason I even was able to grasp french was because of the poor language choices in highschool. It was either Spanish or French, thankfully I picked French.
"Alright thats enough for the forms. Take a few minutes to catch your breath then you will spar with eachother." I smile when I see there slightly erratic breathing and red faces.
Once they start their sparring matches I let out a small smile as I instruct them on what they could have done better. To me they're moving exremely slow and predictable, though that makes sense due to my mastery level and the fact I'm teaching the basics of my own style.
They're all pretty talented but unsurprisingly Jeanne has a bit more talent then her brothers. She picks up on everything I teach her fairly quickly.
Isabelle wasn't thrilled to see the baby of the family with a sword in hand (even if it was just wood) but I managed to convince her.
Though if I remember correctly in the war she uses a weaponized french flag as a lance. Maybe I should increase my spear mastery when I have some free time and teach her that. I know that in training for the french knights, using lances is what they focus more on instead of swords.
Now that I think about it, isn't that disrespectful to the nation your fighting for? I mean I'm pretty sure you would be hated if you killed an enemy with the American flag. Though I guess it would serve as a pretty good insult to the enemy, killing them with a physical representation of the country their fighting.
"Hey, Regis." Snapped out of my musing I turn my attention to Jeanne.
"Yes, princess?" She twittled her fingers a bit.
"When do you practice if your always helping us?"
"That's a secret." I put a finger over my lips and smirked. "Though you don't have to worry, I practice hard everyday."
She reluctantly nods her head with a small pout, clearly not really satisfied with my awnser.
"So, Princess, why do you want to learn to how to wield a sword?" I never even bothered to ask before, just accepting it.
"I want to be strong enough to protect you and the family!" She then slightly bashful. "Also I want piece from the war..." Her expression turns a bit somber.
*flick*
"Ah!?" She holds her head in surprise after I flicked her.
"Don't wear such an expression. Your eight, leave such things to the adults for now." I scold her, I don't like seeing that expression on her cheerful face.
"Right now worry about finishing your training and having the best childhood you can. That way in the future you can look back on the good times you had with everyone." I lectured.
We both sit there in silence for a while before getting up to go have dinner.
Haaah~ I wonder what I changed in history already.
If anything...
Two years later(again!)
[aincrad: 46th floor]
[ant den]
I charged a full power sonic leap, reducing the three insects HP to zero and leaving them to burst into red polygons.
I spin around to deflect the incoming jaws of another giant ant. Said ant jumped back away from me and let out a resounding hiss, before I used the same move and killed it the same as it's other comrades.
My strike vision flashes briefly showing me a few seconds of the future. An ant spits out a ball of acid, but I wouldn't have enough time to dodge so instead I had it hit my coat instead. The coat popped and hissed slightly but stayed strong nonetheless.
My sword glows yellow and I leap forward, this time though as a deadly stab not slash. Vorpal strike skewered the ant and killed it as well.
Sidestepping a set of jaws about to bear down on my back then kicking off the enemy to gain some distance. I send out a nameless Getsuga, since it's the only one I can afford, and then stab the queen ant in the head, ending it's life.
You have gained a level
Taking the momentary gap between spawns I sprint out of the small cave and keep running until I see daylight.
Heaving a sigh of relief, I sit down on a rock and drink a recovery potion to replenish some lost HP and close some minor wounds I received.
The place I was just grinding at was the same spot Kirito grinded at to reach level 70 before facing off that Christmas boss. Though the frontline for him was floor 49 at the time, while right now I'm at floor 51.
I'm also not on level 70 quite yet...

My skills and strength have made a ridiculous jump. Its safe to say that I'm stronger and faster then most (if not all) of future enemies at age 12.
The only thing is that I need a lot of EXP to level up. I still struggle to sometimes with Nicolin when we fight at the tournaments. Though since three years ago I'm able to beat him.
Magecraft has not been coming along all that greatly. So far I only have the same three magics shirou had. Reinforcement, Structural analysis, and gradiation air.
The sucky thing is that I can't trace like shirou because I don't have anywhere to store the blades I 'grasp'. I'm not a sword incarnation like him, thus don't understand weapons like him.
Plus I don't think I can handle having the history of every weapon I see. I don't understand how Shirou can? Is it because of his distortion?
The only thing my element is good at is raising my mastery over bladed weapons...
"*sigh*" My shoulders slump in defeat.
I scroll through my menu and hit the exit dungeon tab. Changing out of my combat clothes I jump on my bed and fall asleep.
Unkown to me at the time, after tonight my time for preparing is up.
DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN MY CHARACTERS, ANYTHING RELATED TO OTHER SERIES IS OWNED BY THEIR AUTHORS.
Hey guys, sorry for the wait! Just know that at the end of every arc it's going to take me longer to release chapters. Once a new arc begins its back to 5 day release, maybe less depending on how far I write ahead. Also It's a little harder to find time now that school's started.
I know that this chapter is shorter than normal, but I've been writing ahead, plus the next chapters will most likely be longer.
This chapter is going be more of a filler/training chapter since its between arcs. These won't happen everytime an arc ends though.
It seems as if the most annoying part of writing gamer fics is writing all the stats and skills the mc has, so once all the timeskips are done(which there should only be one more major one after this upcoming arc) his stats won't be completely shown. I may show his level, HP, and SP though.
Regis's orgin won't really be prominent in the first volume. Also I realise that he should have his element from the beginning but I changed to be updated into his gamer system. I have no idea how you actually find out your orgin, so I had to make something up, sorry!
Anyway chapter 11 should be up shortly after this is released.
Thank you for reading!
