Chapter 2 - The Awakening.

"What a ugly creature." Said a very beautiful giant transparent woman with very long white hair, a heart shaped face, and colorful eyes that seemed to hold countless universe's within them.

"How is this a human, I've never in my infinite lifetime seen something so hideous appear before me." Said the beautiful woman, looking down at a huge middle aged woman sleeping on what appears to be nothing underneath her.

(Olivia's POV)

"Ugh....w....wha...what happened." I said stutteringly while waking up, only to notice that I wasn't in my electric bariatric chair and most definitely wasn't rolling on it across the crosswalk, only a infinite colorful universe with planets.

"OH GOD, IT TALKS." Said a woman's voice loudly from behind me.

"Wha…" I said confusedly while looking behind myself, not knowing what was going on and suddenly felt the invisible floor like thing that I was sitting on disappear. I started falling.

"WHAT THE FUCK." I said screaming at the top my lungs as I fell into the infinite black void.

.....

(The beautiful woman's POV)

The beautiful woman sighed in relief, only to look down and see a sloppy man sucking on a lollipop with shades and a hawaii vacation outfit on.

"What do you want jesus." Asked the beautiful woman calmly.

Jesus stared at her for a moment and said snobbishly "Nothing important grandm…."

Suddenly the universe started shaking and a huge black hole suddenly started appearing out of nowhere and sucking everything inside of it.

"Ok, ok, ok genesis please stop." Said jesus with a nervous laugh while wiping the sweat on his forehead and adjusting his shades while looking up at the huge entity that happened to be his grandmother.

"Fine. But don't let that slip of the tongue happen again." Said genesis while snapping her finger, making the universe recover in a instant.

Jesus looked down at the universe and sighed at the strength his grandmother had displayed and asked calmly "Why did you throw that soul into that time period and into that place and family."

"What do you mean." Asked genesis confusedly.

Jesus sighed again and started disappearing into a bright golden light that lit up the entire universe with his arms spread wide open while saying calmly, his voice echoing as he disappeared into the light "Never mind."

Unknowingly to genesis a wisp of golden light followed after my soul.

Europe / Italy (Vatican Church): Jun 6th, 1512 AD.

*SPLASH*

I shot awake while coughing and wheezing for air and said loudly "GAAAAHHH….COUGH…WHAT THE HELL."

"Refrain from such insolence and disrespect in front of his holiness ward mordred." Said a sudden nasal clogged like voice out of nowhere with disgust and contempt being heard within it.

I rubbed my forehead while letting my eyes adjust to the lighting in the grand hall and didn't see a ceiling I recognized and froze while thinking "Where the hell am I, who am I"

"No, my name is peter griffin, wait no that's just a character from family guy, my name is olivia henderson a 55 year old overweight otaku bitch and retired military commander that only wanted to buy groceries.Yet I end up in a medevial place like this" I thought while glancing around at a unfamiliar medevial holy like renaissance throne room with expensive looking silk and huge golden crosses hanging on the walls with jesus on it to compliment it.

I looked around behind myself and seen a grand ceremonial hall full of old, young and middle aged figures in luxerious grand attires and stutteringly thought with confusion and visible panic on my face "W…where am I, don't tell me I actually died"

"Your holiness there seems to be nothing wrong with ward mordred except for him being exhausted from the awakening of his bloodline." Said a sudden calming voice from out of nowhere which made the grand hall erupt into conversation on what the undescripted man just said.

I whipped my head in the direction of where the voice was coming from, only to not see anything but a wall and suddenly glanced downward and saw a small plain looking average bystander man that's not even worth the author's narrative description. Sad really but unfortunately the truth.

"Good, thank you bishop peter I don't need one of my wards with massive potential suddenly dying on such a special day as this." Said a light skinned old Italian man calmly with a diamond shaped face and a long white beard and dark brown eyes, 6'0 in height and adorned with a luxurious crown hat and a gold and white robe that couldn't hide the muscular physique underneath it bulging with power and authority.

I looked at the holy robed adorned old man sitting on a throne with a crown hat on his head and two armored knights standing tall beside him and thought with creased eyebrows "What the fuck is going on, am I in some sort of cliche manhwa or novel as the stereotypical villain or extra because this just doesn't make any sense and why do I feel so giant compared to these people."

"No, the better question is who's body am I in" I thought while looking down at my giant dark skinned hands that looked to be visibly mixed race.

[DING! The status system is binding]

"What the hell" I thought, hearing a voice inside my head interrupting me from my mental breakdown.

I waved my hand through the transparent window and was confused by it for a moment and thought while staring at the transparent blinking screen "Is this shitty thing supposed to be my cheat"

"Abracadabra." I said muttering underneath my breath, waiting for something to happen only to be disappointed.

[70%]

[80%]

"Shazam." I said muttering again underneath my breath but was disappointed yet again and decided to stop saying cringy stuff.

[90%]

[100%]

[DING! Status system successfully bound please say status for more information]

I read the transparent window with a annoyed look on my face and and said with a vein appearing on my forehead and mustering up my last ounce of patience "Status."

[Storage: [Mordred's Memory], [System Message]

"WARD MORDRED, STEP FORWARD." Said the luxerious adorned old man loudly out of nowhere while getting up from the throne and spreading his arms grandly. The grand hall suddenly starting to tremble and shake with extreme pressure that also made me start sweating profusely, the priests bow their heads in worship and the other luxerious attired guests behind me not faced in the least by the sheer presence.

I took a deep breath while glancing over my status screen and rubbing my bearded chi…, huh, I scratched my chin for a moment and felt hair on it which made my eyes bulge with extreme veins and thought repeatedly "I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a m…"

Suddenly something jabbed my stomach and a sudden whispering voice said softly "Mordred, you have to step up."

I snapped back to the present and looked to down my left and my right right and saw tiny children and also my human upper half, yes I said upper half specifically because my lower half is that of a fucking giant jet black shire horse with platinum blonde feathering hooves.

"Why here" I thought with a sigh while getting up from the floor while hearing visible amazed whispers from behind me at my newfound size which I myself do not even know at the moment.

[DING!]

[Host you are 20'0 in height]

I Ignored the the voice in my head and slowly made my way over towards the old man who I now know is the pope while noticing the tense knights that seemed to be visibly on guard from each step that I took and just snickerd internally while sitting back down on the floor and bowing my head and saying as elegantly as I a former bitch otaku could "Your holiness."

"Ward mordred of the holy see, I gather you, your brothers and sisters in the name of our lord and savior jesus christ on this special ceremonial day and I now grant you your freedom to now go forth together with your 3 sisters and 3 brothers towards the solomon academy to hone your carefully selected potentials in the name of god and I the 217th pope, julius II." Said julius weirdly loudly and audible for the whole grand hall to hear with his arms spread wide and grandly, the grand hall still shaking from the immense pressure he was emitting.

"Yes your holiness, I shall not disappoint your benevolence and generosity." I said calmly while my head still bowed while snickering and gagging internally at the cringe of what I just said, not at all feeling some type of way about cursing internally inside a church.

Suddenly the grand hall stopped shaking and erupted into loud clapping with horns blowing.

"Good, you are permitted to leave, I shall summon you when you are to leave for your journey a week later." Said julius with a smile while stroking his beard and glancing at the other 6 children with bloodlines and waved his hand for one of them to step forward.

"Yes your holiness." I said calmly while getting up from the floor and taking my leave from the grand hall, not at all noticing the grand hall trembling from my steps and a man almost getting stomped to death if he hadn't moved out and the way in time.

As I left the hall, the calm look on my face immediately fell and I started wheezing loudly, trying to calm myself down before I have a panic attack.

"Deep breaths olivia, deep breaths." I said reassuringly to myself while breathing slowly in and out, my heart finally calming itself down.

I looked back at my status screen and asked calmly while making my way down the huge grand hallway in a random direction away from the nosey eavesdropping guards "Hey system what year is it and what the hell am I and who am I."

[DING!]

[Host you are a human with a gifted pegataur bloodline, gifted bloodlines in this world are are bloodlines with even more potential than regular bloodlines and the current date is jun 6th, 1512 ad]

"That helped a little but ok, so I'm technically a half man half shire horse hybrid but why am I a grown ass man when my age says I'm 12 years old." I said with a flabbergasted look on my face while looking at my status screen to make sure that I was right about my age.

[DING!]

[Host your bloodline matures your body faster]

"Ah, that makes absolutely no sense so what the hell are you, are you some evil system out to ruin I the protagonist." I asked calmly while still walking down the huge grand hallway.

[DING!]

[No host I am only here as a supportive friend and helper]

I nodded while looking at my storage and tapped the former mordred's memory.

[DING!]

[Would you like to merge the former mordred's memories: Yes / No]

"Yes." I said while stopping in the middle of the grand hallway and closing my eyes to receive the memory.

[DING!]

[Sarting the merge…]

[10%]

[20%]

"I wonder what world I….wait did the pope say his name was julius II earlier, am I in the 16th century of earth" I thought with a startled look on my face while hearing continuous voices inside my head interrupting me from my mental preparedness for the pain of the memories that is soon to flood my brain and cause a massive migraine.

[30%]

[40%]

[50%]

[60%]

"Any day now system." I said with a sigh, my eyes still closed in readiness.

[70%]

[80%]

I opened my eyes and looked at the loading status screen and said with a irritated vein appearing on my forehead "I hope that this loading shit ain't gonna be a everyday thing system."

[90%]

[100%]

[DING!]

[Merge successful, host you are now able to go through the former mordred's memory]

I had a surprised yet rather confused look on my face from expecting their to be pain but just closed my eyes and focused since their was no use in having an argument over something I read in other fanfics in my past life, Haha…I guess I'm slowly adapting to my new life but most definitely not my new male body yet.

I focused intently and suddenly saw the new memories of a handsome little rich bronze skinned boy with a rather toned physique for his age, a diamond shaped face and rather distinctive dark grey colored eyes, studying and practicing with a sword and other weapons everyday, absolutely nothing else noteworthy to be aware of but eat, train, study, shit, bathe and sleep.

"What a boring 12 years of living." I said with a sigh while opening my eyes, only to come face to face with a very long white haired child with a diamond shaped baby like face and glowing blue cubed earrings, very pale makeup like skin and yellow eyes with a white and gold luxurious ceremonial like sorcerer grand robe.

"My word, what strong mental strength power you possess, is this one of your bloodline powers." Asked the young boy with a huge smile on his face while floating around and suddenly appearing out of nowhere right back in front of me again.

I stared at the boy for a moment and thought with a straight face "System who the hell is this freak"

[DING!

[Host you can use your perk insight to view information on other people]

"Ah, I gotcha thanks bro" I thought while focusing intently, internally, yet outwardly calm.

I rubbed my chin while looking over his status and you thought with shock "This world has ma…"

"Stop looking into my Inner world, ward mordred, it is and Impolite to do so without one's own permission don't you agree." Said voldemus out of nowhere with a serious look on his face, completely disrupting my thought process.

I was silent for a moment and thought while staring at him "So he can sense my insight perk"

"Uhh…sorry I guess." I said very unsympathetically with absolutely no sincerity behind it whatsoever since I'm obviously not the suspicious person here, what person in their right mind would stare at someone who has their eyes closed, especially when said person isn't even aware of that person's existence.

Voldemus shrugged his shoulders while rubbing his smooth chin and asking with a smirk "What is your bloodline if I may ask."

"Hey system do you think this freak is trustworthy" I thought while making my way right past voldemus and into the garden of the vatican church.

[DING!]

[Host I do not know but I believe it's best if you can make a friend or mentor out of him since he knows more about this world than me]

"That makes sense even though he probably can't explain to me why the fuck I became a 12 year old boy with a man's body" I thought with a sigh as I made my way over the fountain of youth, noticed the sarcasm there, anyway I looked into the water and seen a very handsome, rich bronze skinned man with a diamond shaped bearded face, very long braided platinum blonde hair, dark grey colored eyes, and a ripped muscular absurdly hairy body in a knightly, yet wild dirty like attire of this era.

[DING!]

[😐]

I ignored the system and looked at my lower shire horse half in the water and saw jet black fur, a platinum blonde colored tail hair and platinum blonde feathering hooves and thought "Well at least my appearance in this life isn't as ugly as It was in my past life, though I must admit I could've did something about it in my past life if I hadn't waited to long for it to get outta hand and not given up and it's actually sad that I've realized all this now, now that I'm a fucking man"

"Hellooooo…are you ignoring me." Asked voldemus with a pouty look on his baby like chubby face as he floated in front of me with eyes that looked liked they sparkled with curiosity.

"Please stop, that is not cute considering your actual age." I said Immediately with a sigh, honestly not feeling like talking to anyone right now and would just like some alone time to myself.

[DING!]

[🤮]

Suddenly voldemus smiled and said with squinted eyes that could see through anyone and anything "Ah, so you know how old I am, you should learn to respect your elders boy, actually you know what I like you mordred so ask away, what do you desire right now."

"I hope your not expecting me to say the generic word, power, because what I really need most and right now is money." I said calmly, also you readers can stop looking at me like that because I'm obviously trying to avoid the broke action protagonist trope where they always end up losing money or can't keep money in their pockets.

Voldemus grinned and said while raising his right hand and making a light blue cube like barrier appear out of nowhere over it and expand with bags of gold coins dropping out of it "What a greedy child, anyways here's 50 million gold coins as payment for entertaining me since I've never in my life seen a child as greedy as you are."

"50 million gold coins" I thought with wide shocked eyes since I was never that rich in my past life, I was only a overweight woman who couldn't even walk without support from a walker.

Voldemus chuckled at the shocked nonchalant look on my face and said with a sudden serious look on his face "I'm going to give you a quick overview of the three energy paths, don't think of this as favoritism but for your survival, this world is kill or be killed and people especially ones like myself don't look at prodigy's like you in a good light."

[DING!]

[Host pay attention because this is important information]

I suddenly snapped back to present from the system and asked with confusion "And why are people with no bloodline killing people who do have a bloodline."

"Well…isn't it obvious, those that have a bloodline are the privileged one's, it's as simple as that and if you include nobility that are gonna exploit those with bloodlines you can picture where I'm going with this." Said voldemus with a are you serious look on his face like it was obvious.

"So…discrimination" I thought with a sigh while looking at my new skin color and down at my new horse half that I've come to accept that I would have to live with.

Voldemus stared at my for a moment and crossed his arms and legs while spinning slowly in the air and saying nonchalantly "Anyways, I'm going to give you a quick overview of the three energy paths and as I've said earlier, don't think of this as favoritism but for your survival, this world is kill or be killed and people especially ones like myself don't look at prodigy's like you in a good light, am I understood ward mordred."

"Yes sir." I said calmly while waiting for him to continue, but if you looked at my internal face you would absolutely understood why I would want to throw up from calling a 512 year old child looking man sir.

Voldemus nodded in acknowledgment and said while snapping his finger which made a square shaped flat screen barrier appear out of nowhere with words on it that looked similar to a flat screen tv showing cultivation realms on it "First I shall explain what each path of the three energy paths represent, first is mana, it represents the mind path, second is qi it represents the body path and lastly is aura it represents the willpower path or in more conceptual terms, the soul and each path follows the cultivation realm of beginner, Intermediate, mid, high, advanced, master and grandmaster, from rank 1 to 10, any questions."

"Yes, so what realm is after the 10th rank grandmaster realm." I asked with a curious look on my face.

Suddenly voldemus's eye's widened from surprise and rubbed his smooth baby chin while saying "That's actually a good question young mordred, but to give you a even better answer, I do not know."

"Ah…so a 512 year old archive of knowledge doesn't know everything, well at least I know of ways to get rid of this pest now" I thought while still playing the fool outwardly.

"So dose monsters exist and do they follow the same ranking system as humans and also do dungeons exist." I asked while rubbing my chin while thinking up other questions.

Suddenly a barrier like stick and glasses appeared on voldemus's face and in his right hand and said with a serious look on his face while snapping his finger for the barrier flat screen tv to enlarge to chalk board level "I've never heard of this dungeon you speak of but yes monsters do exist, their are mana, aura and qi monsters, and they are different in appearance depending on their energy path, for example if a squirrel were to have the mana path and earth as it's magic attribute and be a advanced 8th rank monster, said monster would be identified as a 8th rank advanced earth squirrel."

"So this world is based off of real history but with a low fantasy twist to it" I thought with a serous look on my face while stroking my bearded chin that will still not convince or help me accept that I am now a 12 year old kid with a grown ass man's body.

Voldemus chuckled while waving his right hand which made the barrier stick, glasses and tv like screen disappear while saying "You can think about it all you like but the most important thing you need in this world is strength which you hardly have excluding your bloodline."

"That's true." I said with a sigh while glancing at the bags full of gold coins on the ground, yes I haven't forgotten the most important thing.

Voldemus's eyes widened for a second at my nonchalant attitude and then suddenly smiled while saying as a barrier like portal appeared from out of nowhere and made his way inside of it "Don't worry to much on it, you still have a long life ahead of you and you will also learn about aura hearts and rings at the academy…farewells and blessed ass smells, mordred."

I had a absolute what the fuck look on my face and suddenly sniffed my armpit and gagged while saying with a pissed look "System why the fuck didn't you say anything, I smell like a fucking uncared for stable full of shit."

[DING!]

[Host you should get used to it, pegataurs have natural high body heat so you are going to smell and sweat like that throughout your life]

"That doesn't explain shit about the smell, your basically telling me my sweat smells like ass." I said with a very irritated sigh while taking a couple deep breaths to calm myself down before I do something I might end up regretting later on.

[DING!]

[🥱]

My left eye twitched and I just sighed again for the thousandth time and looked down at the bags full of gold coins on the ground and thought "System, be useful for once and put the money into my storage."

[DING!]

[Yes host]

Suddenly a portal appeared out of nowhere and started sucking the bags full of gold coins inside of it.

I watched as the portal dissipated into thin air after the last bag of gold coins was sucked into it and thought "Status"

Suddenly I stopped before I entered the grand hallway and looked at the shocked readers and said calmly "While I may have seemed too trust everything this man named voldemus ainsworth has said, you can never tell one's true face until their put in a corner for them to have just the right amount of desperation for them to start talking, but that's for a future chapter to entail, enjoy the next chapter."
