Force Pool

I look to my side and see a fatso occupying the seat near me. No offence, but this is one of the reasons I hate boarding a bus or any public transport for that matter.

If you want to be fat, no one is stopping you. But don't use your fatness to come and disturb the slim one.

Most of the time I get a fat male partner by my side, never a cute girl. Like do they think they are welcome because I am slim and will not take up much space?

That is discrimination in its purest form.

'Sigh!!'.

Now I have to endure hours in the bus making do with the little space the fat man spared for me, while he takes up the rest.

I just hope there is no traffic on the way, that way things can be done at the estimated time.

While the bus journeys on, I feel the need to go back to my thoughts to pass the time by, so I am just going to do it.

I have no mobile phone like almost every other passenger does, so this is the only way to pass my time.

Even the fat man beside me is so busy immersing himself in his tabloid that he forgets about the tiny me being oppressed by his weight.

It is well.

Now working under an assumption;

When a child is born, how one knows that the child is either a sorcerer or a normal child, is dependent on the child's heart.

A normal child would have a normal beating heart, while a sorcerer child would have a sorcerer core known as a force core as a heart.

There is a way to differentiate a normal heart and a force core, but that is a topic for another time when the sorcerer topic is properly branched upon.

That force core is where the force pool is located. It carries within it no force energy.

It is not until after the child properly awakens as a sorcerer does the force pool does the needful by absorbing force energy into the pool.

The amount of force energy absorbed the first time, is dependent on how wide the child's force pool is. And from then on as the child continues to grow, so does the force pool grow with him or her.

In such cases, the force pool can absorb more force energy from the surroundings.

So in a way, my first assessment is wrong when I said the amount of force energy one ends up with is dependent on how much of it they are born with.

That is not it. Rather, it is how vast one force pool is at birth. That is what will determine the child's force energy absorption rate in the future.

Mind you, I on my own believe that while it is essential to be blessed with a large force pool, I don't think that is all there is to being an excellent sorcerer.

Apart from the four classes of sorcerer I mentioned earlier, where their strengths are grouped into four and how each class's advancement far outweighs the past class in terms of physical prowess and trait control.

Though I do believe that to be true, I don't think it is mostly absolute as a way to rank a sorcerer's strength.

Again, this is just my thinking, not what was in the book.

If I am asked why I think this way, my answer will be experience.

It is common knowledge that adults are vastly knowledgeable and experienced compared to children.

Imagine if a kid like me was a second-class advancement sorcerer, and I happened to come across an adult who was twice my age and was a first-class advancement, also with combat knowledge.

I have no combat knowledge, known whatsoever. Now just imagine a fight breaks out between us?!

Even though I am a second-class advancement, my lack of knowledge will slow me down considerably, limiting my capabilities as a second-class advancement.

On the other hand, the adult would have no problem. Even as a first-class advancement sorcerer, the experience he has accumulated over time would prove valuable to him in several ways.

Again, this is just my train of thought, not a confirmation made by the book.

Back to the story;

The first Oduduwa saw the planet that we all know as Earth. At first sight, he fell in love with it and made a pact to forever reside in it, since it was a planet that was guaranteed to forever be absent of sorcerers.

I believe he had been too scarred by the events that happened in Erenoa.

Even with the power he had, and the title of one of the strongest, he still wanted to live behind that world for a world with nothing.

'Kind of makes me wonder what floats his boat'.

I mean I wouldn't do that. Leaving behind a world where I am considered something for a world where I am nothing!

The book made it known to me that he came to Earth around the time when the planet was but primitive. The people wrapped straps around their privates and lived in caves.

Safe to say he started in the cave era.

Fun to think that he lived through the cave era, past the Stone Age, the Steam Age and every other age to the industrialized age.

Wait. Doesn't that mean my ancestors could very well be one of the very founders of the world?!

I don't think it is a stretch to think of it that way.

If he did arrive during the cave era, I am the living embodiment that my family's lineage has survived every age there is in mankind's history.

"Wow!!".

This is mind-blowing and definitely unexpected. I mean it is simply a speculation brought up by me, but said speculation does not seem that far off from the truth.

Who would believe it? That my lineage is older than humanity's record!

Sure it shouldn't be possible, and I wouldn't believe any of it myself. That is if I hadn't faced some terrible shit at the hands of the two absurd beasts I encountered in that forest.

No matter what, I definitely have to finish reading the book to find out more!
