Twin

This place where everyone practically buzzes with magic, they call it mana. It's like this energy that's given to you when you're born. But here's the cool part – you can actually increase it by training your mind and body. And guess what? This magical energy, mana, is what lets you do all sorts of magic.

Now, when I was old enough to toddle around and start talking like a little kid, I started sneaking into the big library. Problem was, the language in the books was all fancy and different from what I knew in my past life. The world had moved on, and so had how people read and wrote.

As I tried to make sense of the fancy words, my twin sister, born at the same time as me, interrupted my little reading adventure. "Brother, come let's play," she chirped. Even though we're twins, she's got more of that magical energy, you know, mana, than I do. And here's the thing – in this place, the more mana and magic you've got, the more respect you get. My sister, she's like a magic prodigy, born into the Dudala family, a big deal around here. For five whole generations, they've been churning out these super powerful magical knights for the Alheban Kingdom.

So, while I'm flipping through these books in the library, I find out something interesting. Magic isn't just a one-size-fits-all deal. They've got these levels, circles they call them – 1st circle, 2nd circle, and so on. When you're born, you start with 0-stage circle magic. But here's the kicker: if you put in the effort, train your mind and body, you can actually move up the circle stages and unlock even advanced magic powers.

You see, I call my sister, Sara, a prodigy not just because she has more mana than me. It's because she can already use a 2-stage magic circle at our age. Imagine that! So, here I am, buried in my books, studying away. The library, my little heaven, is where I lose myself in the magic of learning.

Then, in comes Sara, all bubbly and full of excitement, saying, "Let's play, brother!" I reply with kindness, "I'm studying right now. We can play after lunch." She agrees with a simple "Okay, brother."

It's not about who has more mana; it's about the incredible magic each of us holds inside. My sister, she's like this magical marvel, using advanced magic circles already. Lunch break is just around the corner, and after that, who knows what game we will play today.
