[Age 0: You were born. Born blind and with paralyzed legs, your mother abandons you on a rainy day at the entrance of a deserted orphanage.]
[Age 0: You were born. Born blind and with paralyzed legs, your mother abandons you on a rainy day at the entrance of a deserted orphanage.]
[The cold rain, carried by the chilling wind, gradually soaks your swaddling clothes. You instinctively feel discomfort, and your cries, drifting on the wind, happen to be discovered by a passing middle-aged man.]
[However, the man does not immediately pick you up, but instead hesitates. After considering for two or three minutes, he finally takes you into his arms, muttering:]
["I hope you can make that child become at least a little more like a normal person." ]
[Age 1: You grow up under the meticulous care of your family. Due to the congenital defects of your body, your adoptive father, Hiroki Sajyou, names you "Ren." At the same time, being slightly precocious, you also get to know another family member, two years your senior: your adoptive older sister—Manaka Sajyou.]
[However, compared to your adoptive father, who is taciturn due to his personality, your adoptive sister Manaka gives you the impression of being indifferent to everything.]
[You don't know if it's your imagination, but you always feel that when your sister Manaka occasionally looks at you, her gaze, aside from a trace of curiosity, contains no other emotions, as if filled with a sense of tediousness.]
[Age 2: With nothing ever hidden from you by your family, you learn the fact that the Sajyou family is a magus lineage. Because the magecraft passed down by the Sajyou family is black magic, live sacrifice is an inseparable part of it. Your sister Manaka, though still young, begins her studies in black magic under the guidance of your adoptive father and gradually reveals her talent.]
[Even when facing the pigeons used specifically for live sacrifice, which require beheading to extract their blood, your sister acts without the slightest hesitation, as if she were a born magus.]
[But your adoptive father is not surprised by this, nor is he pleased by your sister's outstanding talent. He just occasionally holds you and mutters to himself:]
["Is that child truly human..."]
[You cannot understand why your adoptive father, Hiroki Sajyou, is so sorrowful. You just feel that the Sajyou family's black magic is, in a sense, somewhat "cruel." ]
[But at dinner every day, you still eat the dishes made from the sacrificed pigeons with a heart full of gratitude.]
[Age 3: Because of the inconvenience of your legs, your adoptive father specially creates a simple, wheelchair-style Mystic Code for you, allowing you to move around the house a little more freely.]
[However, one day this year, when your sister Manaka returns from school, she does not give you a simple greeting as usual and show some concern for your day before heading to the family's [Botanical Garden] to practice black magic.]
[Instead, she seems distracted, muttering softly to herself.]
["Can I also meet a Prince Charming like in the stories?"]
[You don't understand what your sister is saying. Just as you are about to control your wheelchair to go and greet her, you suddenly feel your sister's gaze fall upon you.]
[A moment later, your sister Manaka stares at you, and as if having discovered a wonderful surprise, she says to herself:]
["If that's the case, why not 'create' one myself..."]
[Before you can react to why her mood has changed so quickly, your sister has already walked up to you, given you a gentle hug, and then started helping to push your wheelchair, smiling as she proactively asks about your day.]
[You are somewhat confused as to why your sister Manaka's attitude toward you has suddenly become so intimate. After all, in the past, the relationship between the two of you could only be considered ordinary.]
[But this change does not make you feel uneasy, because you can sense that your sister's concern for you is genuine.]
[You think to yourself that perhaps the relationship between family members simply changes after a certain time. You don't pay it much mind, just feeling a little puzzled.]
[And from that day on, aside from going to school, your sister Manaka is almost inseparable from you at home.]
[Every night, she will also hold you and tell you all kinds of wonderful fairy tales about princes and princesses to lull you to sleep.]
[Age 4: Your relationship with your sister Manaka becomes even closer. Your adoptive father sees that your sister seems to have undergone some kind of change in the past year, and for some reason, he sometimes lets out a sigh of relief, as if his worries have been eased.]
[But even so, as the adopted son of the Sajyou family, though you are still young, you must also follow the principles of a magus lineage and begin to learn the family's magecraft.]
[However, the one responsible for teaching you magecraft is not your adoptive father, but your immensely talented and somewhat precocious adoptive sister.]
[You have no objections. Under the careful guidance of your sister Manaka, you quickly master the basic theories related to magecraft and begin to show your talent in this area.]
[You have awakened 'Magic Circuits EX': 7 main circuits, 200 auxiliary circuits. The generation of magical energy is like breathing to you, and even the most precise calculations are no challenge.]
[You have awakened 'Magical Attribute (Average One)': The use of the five great elements—earth, water, fire, wind, and ether—is as natural as moving your own limbs.]
[You have awakened 'Magical Trait (Flow and Transfer of Power)': You have a special talent for the reinforcement and creation of objects, as well as the use of alchemy.]
[The degree to which the path of magic favors you surprises your sister. As if discovering a kindred spirit, she is genuinely happy for your talent. And after learning of the situation, your adoptive father also rarely prepares a lavish dinner, as if this form of celebration is the limit of what the man's personality can express.]
[Age 5: Your studies in the path of magic advance by leaps and bounds. What leaves you slightly disheartened is that, unlike your eyes which are congenitally incurable, your legs seem to be paralyzed because your overdeveloped Magic Circuits are compressing the nerves in your body, preventing your legs from sensing external feelings or even standing up like a normal person.]
[You are somewhat troubled by this, but your sister Manaka comforts you, telling you not to worry, and that even if you can only remain in this state in the future, she will always take care of you.]
[You are deeply moved. But to avoid causing more trouble for your family, you study the methods of creating Mystic Codes even more diligently. Finally, one day, through experimentation, you successfully create prosthetic-limb Mystic Codes that can support you in standing up and walking like a normal person.]
[However, regarding your achievement, although your sister Manaka congratulates you, for some reason, you sense a trace of regret in her voice, as if carrying you from your bed every day and pushing your wheelchair around the house was a time that she had always enjoyed.]
[But you believe this must be your imagination. After all, your sister cares for you so much, how could she possibly want you to stay in a wheelchair forever? Besides, you don't want to trouble her forever either.]
[Age 6: Through your own research, you create several Mystic Codes that allow you to vaguely observe the outlines of objects in the outside world. This achievement brings you great joy.]
[However, on this night, when you tell your sister this news, your sister Manaka is not surprised, as if she had long foreseen it, and only praises you.]
[At the same time, she asks you if you want to truly see the light...]
