Reincarnated as a cannon fodder in an otome game

Magical Awakening

The next morning Asuri woke up feeling determined. Yua picked him up and went to the kitchen. There, his siblings and father were sitting down, waiting for them so they can eat together. Asuri in his past life never got to eat with his family unless it's about business so all of this was new to him and it made his heart flutter. They all greeted Asuri and ate together.

"We're going now" Aoki, Hibiki, Himari and Tsuki said at the same time. 'I forgot that they have school' Asuri thought. "Be safe and listen to your teachers" "Have fun and don't stay late", "We know. We're going to be late now bye" They waved at all of us before they went out of the door.

After Yua fed Asuri and the other children, she made him burp and put him to sleep. Though Asuri couldn't sleep, he was too excited to learn magic. 'I'm gonna learn magic today' he said in baby language. He got out of the crib and wobbly walked towards Hibiki's room(his brother) to study more about magic. He was not worried that he'd get spotted since his parents were training the twins outside, and Chikako, his older sister was with the mother outside too watching the training. When he was in front of the door he stopped for a while and closed his eyes. "This room will be my door to a new beginning", he dramatically said, again in baby language, and puffed out his chest and raised his hands, to push the door open. What he saw was a basic kid room but with books, lots and lots of books. He saw a rectangular piece of wood and used it as support so he can reach the books. Asuri stood on the piece of wood and reached for the closest book. Though it was not English, he could still read what the title

'Magical Awakening'

He looked at it like it was a block of glowing gold. Opening the book what he saw amazed him.

Instructions.

*dun dun dun*

He read the instructions over and over and over and seemed that it was too easy, more or less. 'Meditate and gather the energy that you have and the energy of your surroundings to your magical core.' Asuri feeling content, sat down to a lotus position. He closed his eyes, and disregarded all of the things that are distracting his mind, he breathed to match the rhythm of the wind, felt the life that's brimming within the earth and harmony that's protecting the universe. Asuri focused all of that energy to circulate throughout his body with its main source, the heart. though the book said to focus all of it on one place, in the center of the body, he ignored that part and created his own rule, he made it flow through every blood vessel and patiently waited for it to reach and connect together. The secret god's blessing or whatever he is, helped not spread and keep the magic in Asuri's body, making it unnoticeable even to his parents who are outside.

After he was done meditating, he felt that his body was more energized and he can feel a warm sensation(warm sensations can be felt whenever someone awakens their magic)." What time is it?" he looked around Hibiki's room and saw a clock. His eyes widen and he hurriedly walked to his room, not before returning everything to normal in Hibiki's room, he almost tripped twice. He pushed went to his room and struggled to climb his crib until he did it before Yua, comes to pick him up. He sighed, relief washing all over him. 'The god of magic probably blessed me with something basic, I don't really care. I just want to use magic. But thank you'

*Achoo* 'Is someone talking about me behind my back? Must be my imagination' A certain god thought but then shrugged and went to continue to play the otome game Dephilia gave him.

The children outside finished training and went back inside to wait for their mother to make lunch, while Jumin went to pick up Asuri.

"Hello little Asuri time for lunch" Jumin went from cool training dad to soft loving dad

"pa... pa" Asuri laughed while he struggled to say the word "papa", but it still reached Jumin and he went teary.

"Yes yes, papa will feed you. Come now everyone is waiting for us" Jumin said while reaching Asuri so he can lift him up.
