Nanomachines

I am a son, and I have nanomachines inside me. What did you expect? Having gained self-awareness while still in my mother's belly, I realized that this was my chance. Being born was the first step. Then at one year old I would have a college degree, and at five I would be a billionaire. I didn't care that I remembered nothing of the past. This being a magical world, and with lots of smart tech, too, I'd catch up in no time, wouldn't I? Yeah, right. "This baby's dying!"-That is what I heard in the first minutes of my life. I was dying? What? In the very first minute? Was this some kind of sick joke? Was the whole world against me? Something had to be done . . .

I am a grandson, and I have nanomachines inside me. What did you expect? The surprise appearance of my superpowerful great-grandmother has forced me to change my plans. One word from her is enough to destroy my beloved family! She is strong, my great-grandmother, and feared by many! But not by me. For I am Michael Kaiser, and my talent is adaptation. I'll show you, old woman, how strong we rugrats can be! Time to get into training!

With the help of my great-grandmother's familiar, Baal, I overthrow a reign of tyranny at my preschool. Kids need toys! Power to tots! That done, I finally have time for some serious strength training! The 'Core Snatching' skill I learned from the deadly sin Envy comes in useful here. It lets me devour the very essence of a freshly killed being, and Baal suggests starting with demons-creatures that are beyond salvation. It's a good plan for enhancing my strength. And it works! Until, that is, I am pursued by something bigger than a demon . . . How will I deal with an enemy like this? How will I get away from a place like this? I don't know. But I know one thing. Somehow, I'll find a way. After all, I am Michael Kaiser, and my talent is Adaptation. I'll show you demons just how scary we tots can be!

Watch out, teachers! On your guard, classmates! Take cover, school! I made it out of the Abyss, bringing a relative of mine back with me and acquiring great power along the way! Now I'm ready for the next phase of my life . . . Experimental elite school, here I come! I'm a first-grader, and I have nanomachines inside me. What did you expect? Great deeds? Oh, there'll be plenty of those! After all, it turns out this is no ordinary school . . .

Thankfully, the divine judgment passed by the heavenly virtue Justice herself went my way, and I avoided being incinerated! Now I can get back to a simple life as a magical first-grader, right? Yeah, right. While monsters in search of a ruler are stirring in the forests, a mysterious prowler going by the name of Mr. Hyde is at large in the city. There's danger everywhere, and nowhere to hide. And who has to deal with all this mess? Who else but yours truly, the nanomachine-powered magical munchkin! Will I ever get a break?!
