His tutors were supposed to come twice a week, so Cain quickly finished his daily studies for the day. He wanted to check his Status in his room, then spent time practicing magic.
“Creation Magic…just what does it let me do?”
“Status.”
The Status displayed before him would definitely get him labeled as an inhuman freak, and every time he looked, the amount his health and mana values had increased would always freak him out. His rating was also already at the SS level.
It’s true he gained some experience from fighting in the grassland, but it didn’t make sense for him to level up so much. Cain decided to carefully look through his Status again. He touched the status window’s Title section with his finger.

“…So Disciple of the Gods is the cause behind my unreasonable level up speed? What the heck? Multiplied by 100? I can also hear the voices of the gods? 100 times 100 is… 10,000?! That’s ridiculous!”
The faces of the gods rose unbidden in Cain’s mind. He shook his head to clear the image, then looked at his Status once more.

Next up were the blessings, but Cain would’ve preferred to not look at them. After all, he had received a level 10 blessing from all the gods, something considered completely unthinkable. Cain only wanted a level of strength appropriate for someone who made a living as an adventurer.
He took a breath, steeled himself, and opened the section on blessings.

The details of the various blessings, minus the Blessing of the God of Creation, were displayed. No matter how many times he touched the “Blessing of the God of Creation” button, nothing changed. Cain gave up and decided he’d simply ask when he met the gods again at the church.
Cain now understood his Status. He also understood something he didn’t really want to.
“No matter how you slice it, I’m an inhuman freak…”
Cain closed his Status, swearing to himself that under no circumstances would he reveal it to anyone else.
After recovering emotionally, Cain decided to try making some new magic with Creation Magic.
“I wonder what I can make? Hmm… What can I do? What do I want to know? That’s it! I want a magic that allows me to look up what I want to know.”
Cain began to vividly imagine what he wanted in his mind. The search engines of his previous life came to mind. He took a deep breath and started circulating the mana within him. In this world, there was still so much he didn’t know about the outside world. That being said, he knew the general layout of fantasy worlds thanks to his previous hobby, reading light novels.
“Creation Magic: I do desire. Unveil unto me all knowledge of this world and the one before. World Dictionary!”
As mana left his body, a query field appeared that looked similar to the search engines of his previous life.
“Oh, something happened. Did it work? Time to give it a shot.”
Cain imagined words appearing in the search field and they materialized in front of him.
“Search: Silford Family.”
Search results: History of the Silford Family
▷ The Silford Family is led by Garm von Silford and is currently within its eighth generation. The first generation head was an adventurer who acquired fame and the Baron title by slaying a dragon that was attacking a city. The family was elevated to margrave status in its fifth generation and assigned the governance of the Gracia Territory.
“Whoa! Amazing!” Cain jumped in the air in excitement—it had actually worked!
Suddenly, he felt dizzy. Oh, crap. I used too much mana. Lethargic, Cain opened his Status and saw that he had used up 200,000 mana—apparently, it took quite a lot of mana to create new spells. Cain collapsed onto his bed and passed out.
The sensation of someone shaking him roused Cain back to consciousness. He opened his eyes and saw Sylvia in front of him.
“Master Cain, it appears you were resting, but dinner shall soon be ready.”
The setting sun was shining in through the window, showing that it was already evening.
I’ll need to be more careful when making new spells, Cain thought to himself, carving it into his heart.
