Arriving at the Genesis Foundry retively quickly, we proceeded inside, where I spent the hour showing them all of what I've prepared up to this point. Which eased and signifitly reduced whatever worries and s they had about that grand goal of mine.

  "This is obviously not enough to aplish what I wish to currently, but I still have almost seven years left to prepare. I'm sure you imagine how much my robot army and arsenal will have grown too by then when my produ capabilities tio expand with every day that passes."

  "It will certainly be impressive, sweety, but what do you pn to do when you depart for the wastend?" Mom asked whilst my father was still in the midst of imagining the force I would have at the age of 18.

  "I have it all pnned out already. The first step I'll take is I'll travel to the Cyberdynamics Robotics Facility located southeast of here, take it over from its robot inhabitants, and fix it up, to upgrade my robot manufacturing capabilities massively. Ohat's done I'll..."

  From there I went on to expin iail to both of them what I've already told gramps some time ago.

  "Looks like you've got it all figured out, so us know if you need anything. We're always here for you."

  "Mm, he does, doesn't he. But if you ever enter any sort of dahat you even have the smallest amount of doubt of handling, I want you to promise me you'll prioritize your safety above all else."

  "I have no pns of throwing my life away, so I'll promise I'll make sure to prioritize my safety." I replied.

  "The kid has already faced a molema in the depths of the miunnel. So he'll be more than ready to face whatever the wastend throw at him right now, not to mention when he's an adult."

  "HE DID WHAT, DOM-" Mom said, immediately getting upset at the danger I've already faced.

  Here we go again, haa.

  Calming her down, mom ed me in a hug for a few moments before letting me go, and as soon as she did, I decided t up the subject of whether to inform several more people of my secrets. "Now that you two have been made aware, should we tell grandpa Henry and grandma and Alice's family?"

  "I don't think they'll show all that of a ive response. Alice's father David certainly won't since he was quite the ambitious fellow in his youth, so he'll more than uand. Her mother Aura, oher hand, will be more ed with her daughter's safety, but I'm sure you have something figured out for that already, son."

  "I do, multiple things, in fact."

  "I think things will be fine, Dom, when you expin to them your pns iail and they see the extensive preparations you've already made." Alice added.

  "... Let's tell them tomorrow. Mom, dad, you gather everyone?"

  "Sure, what time are you thinking of?" Mom responded.

  "Let's do 9:00 AM. We have breakfast together before we start."

  With that settled, we speedily returned home and, after spending a few hours chilling, we turned in for the night.

  ...

  The day, everyohered, including Bel and Alice's grandparents, Ronald Ed Steele and Evelynn Scarlet Steele. I don't know what my parents said to gather everyone, but they were all looking at me with curious gazes, Bel being the sole exception. Unwilling t up the topic of today's gathering just yet, we sat down and had a scrumptious breakfast to get everyone in a good mood. Over the meal, the bunch of us made small talk and once everything was eaten, all the eyes within the room focused in on me.

  "Since we're doing, I guess it's time we've gotten down to business."

  Seeing no one say anything, I tinued and began the process of revealing my abilities, oer ahe minute I was done, I saw I left all those who were uninformed in a state of shod awe, so I waited for them to e back to the real world. When they did, I began telling them about my dream and as a result a few of them got upset expectably, though mainly the women. Besides them, the men of our families seemed plenty happy with my ambition to recim the wastend.

  Following that, I had to spend the 10 minutes calming the women down and right as that was resolved; we made our way to my property to show them what I've prepared up to now. Reag our destination in record via two separate vehicles sine alone wasn't rge enough to transport roup, we exited the vehicles aered the facility. The couple of hours were spent with me showing off and answering every little question they could possibly e up with.

  "Now that everyone has seen what I've aplished thus far, I'm sure your fiden me aplishing my goal one day has increased at least a bit."

  "How could it not have." Alice's and Bel's father, David, the uy's governor, said happily.

  "You've done good, kid. I 't wait to see the heights you'll rea the future, haha." Alice's grandpa Ronald said while patting my right shoulder joyously.

  "I'm sure it will be something I just don't know if we'll live long enough for us old folk to see the day my grandson aplishes his dream." My grandpa Henry added.

  "You're very right, but heless, I'll be happy, regardless, even if I'm no longer here."

  "Actually, you guys will live to see the day."

  "Hmm, why is that? We know your abilities are incredible, Dom, but nothing you've shown us so far beat the tinuous degradation of time."

  "Well, that's not really true. I was just holding off oails regarding one of my new abilities for this exaent." I said before lifting and presenting my hand forward while using a level one spark spell, the same one I used the previous day. But instead of using the lightning element particles I had used yesterday from the surrounding enviro, I used a small portion of the all element particles from my mana core. Whi turn ged the color of the lightning from its normal blueish white to bck.

  Holding the chaotic bck lightning in the palm of my hand, I tinued. "This may sound ridiculous, but this isn't an ability granted by the system. This is, in fact, the work of magic, the kind of stuff you may have heard about in legends. And with this magic, you extend your lifespan by advang in the mage realms."

  Leaving just about the whole group stunned, I went on to expin iail the entire system of magic I knew of, as well as a whole assortment of miseous informatiarding its innumerable facets. I the on to tell them they o keep what I'm telling them a secret from others, for obvious reasons.

  After getting them to give me their word that they would not disclose anything regarding magic to anyone besides the people present, I began the process of teag them my All Element Core Teique and iing an all element core into each of their mana cores. It took several hours to get everyo up and up to speed. However, once we did, I could literally feel the excitement radiating off ead every one of them, especially the eion who were nearing ever closer to the end of their lifespans.

  I know this teique of mine is extremely powerful from all the information I've been granted by magic skill, so it could bring a whole host of problems if it fell into the hands of others. Despite those issues, I'd much rather not let age take our family members from us, he's better to just let them learn my magical cultivatiohod even though it es with a bunch of risks, such as my future enemies getting ahold of my teique.

  Although the ces of that while I'm down here in Uy 7 is basically nil. However, once I'm out and about on the surface, I'll have to e up with various proteethods to prevent it from disseminating as soon as possible. I have a few ideas in mind, but I won't be able to do anything about it until I get established at the Cyberdynamics Robotics Facility and begin pursuing magic.

  Those ives aside, having all the old timers around is a huge asset in and of itself. Having them around would increase the amount of people I trust and fall ba, and since I'll be founding and building a nation iure, I'm going to need a good number of people I trust to maain positions. I'm not sure all of them will want to, but I know more than a few of them will love to like gramps, for instahe old guy yearns for the past where he led what was basically a merary band, so he would for sure take the role of a general or military ander if I ever asked for his help.

  Not too worried about my magic cultivatioing out for several years, I regaiheir attention and proceeded to the part. "Alright, now that everyone is now a 1st level mage initiate, let me give you guys the rest of the information I've accumuted."

  Handing them ea encrypted datapad, I began again. "Each of these pads has a bunch of informatiarding magic, so you'll be able to learn and explore on your own."

  "Wouldn't it be better for you to teach us instead of us expl this new magical field all on our own?" Alice's mother Aura questioned.

  "Sure, if I was going to be pursuing this field like the rest of yht now, but I'm not going to be doing that until I get set up in the wastend. Hence, in actuality, you guys will be better off learning amongst yourselves. That said, if you enter anything you are unsure of, make sure to sult with everyone here and if that isn't enough, I may be able to help." I answered.

  "Also, make sure you type in this password every week or the datapad will wipe itself."

  "Why'd you set that up, big brother?" Bel asked.

  "To ehat the informatio go beyond the people here in case anythio happen to the datapad or us."

  With that handled, everyoarted iigating their datapads and talking amongst themselves, occasionally asking me a questiarding something they were ied in. I let this go on for an hour before I decided t up my car situation to get that resolved and the instant I did, Alice's and Bel's dad David said he would hating me a lise by han the end of the day.

  Looks like I'll be able to drive again, sweet.

  ...

  Later on that day, roup disbanded with mom, dad, Alid I going home first and theo a dealership dad had a good retionship with where I picked out an armored up SUV for myself that would be my main mode of transportation going forward.
