"Back so soon, Liam? Have you finally advanced?" The guard said. He had light blonde hair with a gaze that seemed to linger. His face was one plastered with scars, making him look ferocious. He wore the cla.s.sic guard uniform that was composed of a red and blue vest with black loose pants.
"Johnathan! No, somebody else came along and I had a tussle with him." He let out a deep sigh. "I found an abandoned child out there though..."
"What?!?" A voice came from behind as they were talking. Both Liam and Johnathan shuddered as they felt a chill run down their spines. Their expressions changed to ones of regret as they realized who was walking over.
Johnathan whispered, "Great, now I gotta listen to Sonalius complain about how evil some people are for the rest of my s.h.i.+ft." Jonathan's expression kept changing as Sonalius stood in front of them in the same guard uniform.
"The nerve of some people! Did they leave him in the Vibrant Forest too? The child cannot even defend himself in such a state!" Sonalius' voice was loud, shocking any bystanders nearby.
Liam smiled bitterly at Johnathan, "Yeah, I was battling a beast when I saw him appear." He didn't want to explain the whole story and hear someone argue, so he tried to keep it brief. "I'm gonna go home and see about having him stay with us until we find his parents. See you later Sonalius and Johnathan!" Before Sonalious could even say anything, Liam already took off with the baby.
Liam looked back and saw the helpless expression on Johnathan's face. He heard Sonalius mutter, "Hmmph, I wouldn't do that to my child..." Johnathan's face wore a bitter smile as shouted goodbye in Liam's direction.
Liam slowly changed from running to walking as he saw other people traveling and the road change from dirt to cobblestone. Wooden and brick shops began to appear on his sides as he walked to the center of town. Crowds of people were all buying and selling items here. In the middle of the town square was a statue of the leader, Kiev. Engraved on it was a plague that said, "Acting leader of Lorea, Kiev Hemmes."
As Liam walked past the metal statue of Kiev with a sword in his hand, he could help but speak. "You really do look better as a statue than in-person that's for sure, Kiev." He said in disgust, "Maybe your statue, unlike yourself, can actually inspire people."
Within another 15 minutes of walking, Liam reached his home near the northern gate. The roads turned back from gravel to dirt as he went home. A stone house stood in front of him. It was neither big nor small for him and his wife. He walked inside and saw his wife. She had long light red hair with a fair face. She wore a simple blue tunic with black pants. Liam immediately began to tell her everything that had happened to him. His wife, however, busted up laughing.
"Hahaha, Liam, you're joking, right?" She said in an unbelieving, somewhat loud voice.
"I am not, this baby just appeared out of nowhere! Even s.p.a.ce was breaking down!" When she realized that Liam was telling the truth, a barrage of emotions overcame her. Shock, worry, fear, and gratefulness were mixed into her expression. When Liam saw her complicated expression, he didn't even know what to make of it.
"I will continue searching for the actual parents, but for now, I think that we should have him stay with us," Liam said with resolute in his voice.
"Are you sure about this? We're not even sure what he is! Even though he looks human, I haven't seen any person with those eyes in my life." She was very skeptical about this due to so many unknowns, especially about other races. "What if he grows powerful enough and decides to kill us? Something strong enough to fracture s.p.a.ce..." She started to go off.
"Serai, I am sure. I don't feel like this baby will harm us when he grows up. If he truly does show signs of harming us, then I'll do it. I'll kill him if need be..." Liam struggled to make that promise, but he said it nonetheless.
Serai pondered for a little bit "Okay, but if I start to sense any killing intent from him or any like that..." Her skin started to glow slightly as lightning crackled and curled around her fingertips for a moment.
There were very few races that humans were allied with enough to trust them, much less live with. Almost all races only trusted their own race. One of the main reasons for this was that each species could kill other species and use their bloodlines to improve, but they couldn't use a member of the same race's bloodline; a human couldn't use another human's bloodline, however, they could use the bloodline of the demon race. Therefore, it became custom to kill first and ask questions later about other races.
"Don't worry, if it does come to that, I'll make sure to deal with it." he quickly replied.
"Very well. Do you know what his name is?" She said as she picked him up.
"No, I forgot to ask the baby what his name is..." Liam rolled his eyes as he thought of the question.
Serai smiled, embarra.s.sed at asking such a question after having the whole story explained. "Why don't we name him after your father, Jacob?" She thought about it for a moment before saying that.
"Jacob," Liam pondered, "I like it! Jacob Reymond is his name for now. At least until we find his parents. While it's still daylight, we should ask around town," Serai nodded as they both walked out.
After searching for nine hours each day for three weeks, they gave up. Within those three weeks, Liam and Serai found someone capable of feeding Jacob, as he was still an infant, a bed, and bought clothes for him. They scoured the town yet they didn't find anyone who could be his parent. There were some people claiming to be their son, but it was obvious because those people didn't share any of his characteristics.
Serai and Liam decided to write his name into the yearly census and he officially became their son.

"Rey! Can you go grab your father? It's almost time for dinner!" Serai shouted.
"Yes, Mother!" Rey replied.
At this time Rey was 12 years old and had been living with Liam and Serai for as long as he could remember. During these 12 years, he learned to write, read, speak, and walk; he learned basic functions and information about the world.
Rey ran over to the back of their house, where his father was practicing the fire law.
In this world, there were many mystical laws one could learn about and then use, the fire law was one of them. The amount of law one could use was proportional to their affinity. If a human had a low-tier fire affinity, they could break through easier, but wouldn't be able to use the fire law as effectively or precisely as someone with a high or very high fire affinity. Think of each law as a book. The more affinity you have, the more pages you have to read before fully comprehending the book, whereas, with a low affinity, you are practically reading a summary of a chapter from the book. While summaries are quicker to comprehend, you are losing a lot of information in the process too.
"Father, Mother said that dinner is ready and wanted me to come to get you" Rey said.
"Okay, thank you, Rey, I'll be over in a bit" Liam said as he was continuing to fire fireb.a.l.l.s that would split into three, catching an enemy off guard hopefully while attacking many vital points at once.

Another thing Rey learned was the qualitative changes within one's body when they broke through.
Each rank of a law they comprehended helped their control, and sometimes allowed them other abilities, such as making fire travel from the body to a medium, like air. These were the known ranks and were separated into 20 breakthroughs each.
Descendant Stage
Semi-Descendant Stage
Saint Stage
Semi-Saint Stage
Novice Stage
Semi-Novice Stage
Semi-Mortal Stage
Mortal Stage
Along with the comprehension of each law, there would be some other benefits such as extended lifespans and body-strengthening. Comprehending different laws had different effects on the body. The fire law may strengthen one's body more than the lightning law, but the lightning law would allow people more energy they could store and use (Endurance). One way to tell which law one had comprehended was through their eyes.
To comprehend a law, one needed to find another species that was favored by the same law, kill it, and then absorb its innate understanding of the law through its blood. Another thing is that not all races can comprehend every law. The multiverse is fair. The higher one's affinity for a specific law, the lower the affinity for other laws. Humans had a lesser middle affinity to every law known. Humans were able to practice every law, but they also weren't the best at each law. This diversity and their insane breeding still made up for their lack of talent with sheer numbers and variation.
There were, however, items capable of changing the affinities and bloodline of a creature. These were naturally occurring resources named legacies. There were man-made legacies, but the effect was horrible as it would lower many affinities to create or upgrade an affinity to the same grade. Natural legacies would still change affinities, but usually, it could change it for the better. It all depended on the bloodline being given and the bloodline you had.

At the dinner table.
"How is your new ability going, Father?" Rey asked
"It is going. The improvements in it are slow, but I am starting to get ahold of my new understanding. I can almost fully control all 3 fireb.a.l.l.s after being split" Liam said. Aside from absorbing understanding, one still needed to practice a lot to fully understand the portion of the law they had access to.
"What about you Rey? Have you found your affinities yet? I know you aren't fully human at least, but you have to have some understandings."
"I haven't found out much, I know I could feel some law, but I don't know which one it is. It would truly help knowing where I came from an what race I am..." Rey said with displeasure
"We've tried out the fire law, air law, lightning law, water law, and the darkness law. We could try out the light law while we're at it, but I doubt it. You obviously have some other law I haven't seen yet, perhaps something rarer. We can try the time law, s.p.a.ce law, and the disintegration law when there is a creature nearby that isn't dangerous. I know you are part human, so you must have a very low affinity towards other laws, just wait, in time those feelings will get more distinct. As for your race, even I have no clue. I tried searching for information about you when you were younger, but nothing came up." Liam said, feeling slightly guilty for not being able to help.
"Tell you what, tomorrow, come with me and your mother, we'll hunt something in the vicinity and you can try to absorb its bloodline again. That is if your mother is okay with it?" Liam said.
"Perhaps after a year, you'll be able to absorb the bloodline. If that is the case, head to bed Rey. You'll need your energy since we're getting up early." Serai said in a warm voice.
"Yes, Father, Mother, thank you!!" He said gratefully.
