That night, the palace was quiet.
Oliver slept between Theo and Charles, wrapped in soft blankets. The moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting gentle shadows across the room.
Everything seemed peaceful.
Then—
A soft glow appeared above Oliver's chest.
His eyes opened.
Not crying.
Just… awake.
Again… that warmth…
The room faded slightly, like mist covering reality. Oliver felt weightless, floating in darkness filled with faint golden light.
And then—
A voice.
Gentle. Calm. Everywhere.
"Child… do you hear me?"
Oliver blinked.
Yes… I can hear you.
"Youhave received my blessing."
Tiny sparks floated around him.
"This world is filled with magic. You are born with the ability to see it… and shape it."
Oliver listened quietly.
So… I really have powers.
The voice continued.
"To help you grow, I grant you guidance."
Suddenly—
A transparent panel appeared in front of him.
Like glass.
Like a game screen.
Oliver's eyes widened.
Status… bar?
The panel shimmered softly.

Oliver stared.
This is… literally a system…
The voice spoke again.
"You may grow stronger. But remember… your greatest strength is not power… but the bonds you hold."
The panel flickered gently.
Oliver reached out.
His tiny finger touched Magic Sense.
A faint ripple spread.
Suddenly—
He could feel it.
Magic everywhere.
In the air.
In the walls.
Even faintly around Theo and Charles.
Warm threads connecting them.
So the world really runs on magic…
The voice softened.
"I will not speak often. Walk your own path… little one."
The light began to fade.
Oliver hurried mentally.
Wait— will anyone else see this?
"No. This is yours alone."
The glow vanished.
The panel disappeared.
Oliver blinked.
He was back in bed.
Theo slept quietly beside him. Charles's arm rested protectively nearby.
Oliver yawned.
Status bar… magic… god…
He rolled slightly and grabbed Theo's finger.
Theo instinctively held him even while asleep.
Oliver smiled.
Yes… bonds are important too.
His eyes closed again.
The future ruler slept peacefully—
With a hidden system.
And a divine voice guiding him. ✨
