Chapter 24

On my way towards the house I made a quick stop by the alchemist’s place, after all the amount of increase the poison resistance skill would gain would be too specialised if it all came from a single type of poison so it was best that I would get some recipes before I left on the 2 week journey to Lessis.

“Evening” I greeted as I entered the shop/lab.

“Ajax, what are you doing here, I thought we agreed alchemy wasn’t your calling.” He didn’t seem that surprised to se...

Chapter 23

The trip back to the village was quiet as we were trying to get there as fast as we could without attracting any more attention to ourselves than we already had from running through the place. My mind wandered back to the magic the kobold was using and how he used quick bursts of earth to help his speed and strengthen his weapons when attacking without using a continuous infusion like the wolf had.

Not paying attention I crashed straight into Hatchet who had suddenly slowed down probabl...

Chapter 22

“What was different about this wolf?” I questioned Hatchet, just because I knew the thing had mana didn’t mean I knew much else about it.

“That was your first beast type monster kid” He blandly answered as he started bagging the wolf to take back to the village, all my prior knowledge of games telling me monster parts would sell for quite a bit. “Now while not all monsters have mana all beast type ones do and that separates the animals from the monster”

“Don’t al...

Chapter 21

Over the weeks have seen a new routine settle in. Every 4 or 5 days I would join Hatchet in going on a hunt for game or just scouting. We weren’t that lucky to find game on a scouting mission after that first time. That’s not to say that our time was just spent walking around. He had me on high alert and also running drills of how to react to whatever could show up.

Now with my level of strength all this basically amounted to something I could fight head on and he will just watch ov...

Chapter 20

Hatchet P.O.V:

This kid is a born fighter, from the moves I spotted him pulling off and the speed and power he had throughout his training I would say he has all the skills not only unlocked but probably quite a bit above 10. He is a natural born fighter and is wasted on being a hunter in a backwater village like this one.

But that is not what I’ll focus on, I can see that it’s his parents that are trying so hard to keep him close to home, not something unusual when it comes t...

Chapter 19

My morning started the same as it always did. I woke up, got dressed, picked up my weapons and headed outside to start my training before the rest of the house woke up. Though I did start with the bow this time and increased the time I put into it, after all if there was a precise cut and precise blow there had to be a precise shot, right?

I was just about done with my training and getting ready to head to the smithy to straighten up my arrows and do some maintenance work on my sword an...

Chapter 18

Walking into the butchers shop I knew my way around, I had been working here for the past few cycles. Everything was just as I left it, the shop was just barely something that can’t be called a mess, with a system to everythings location, just a system I couldn’t make heads or tails of in all that time. The only way I know it was a system was that I was told I put things in the wrong place.

“The hell are you doing only showing up now, kid?” He called out to me, as he picked up t...

Chapter 17

Hatchet P.O.V :

I walked towards the blacksmiths house, I didn’t know much about him other than that he and his wife came here quite a few years ago very young and expecting a child and that they were both quite talented in their fields considering how high they climbed in this backwater while raising a child, then another and now a 3rd.

At the gate I saw the headman’s son and his friend both lazing about as per usual. The brat tried to get his father on my ca...

Chapter 16

For the last 2 years and 11 cycles I have been a blacksmith at first until my mother could arrange for me to get someone to take me on as an apprentice, 2 more cycles not much, I was then a leatherworker, an alchemist, a farmer and let me tell that was a surprise not in that there was profession for it but in the respect that I didn’t get any of the skills associated with farming. Before that I got everything, add to that my trait and I thought such a scenario was impossible just goes to sh...

Chapter 15

The last two weeks I was put through my paces by my brother and Kate, both seeming to have made it their mission to ensure that I was ready to become a guard should that be something I wanted. Between the two of them I was always doing something whether it be training with a weapon or being healed up from all the bruises I get getting on top of my blacksmithing and gardening every day was filled to the brim.

Having the luxury of an off duty healer nearby also meant that my brother felt ...

Chapter 14

Spending a whole day bartering and losing did a lot in terms of bringing me down from my high horse about being special, while yes I was an extreme talent in terms of children, if the skills of common merchants that through these parts is enough to stifle me like that I clearly need to get a lot stronger considering that there are people who count their age in centuries not decades.

The idea for tonight was to question my brother as well as my father in order to help me determine what k...

Chapter 13

I was a bit hyperactive as I made my way to the caravan, Tom and Kate decided to join me, Kate to meet any of my brother's friends that will surely be there and Tom, in his own words, to see me get ripped off. I couldn’t understand how that was going to happen since I knew the worth of my goods and even had a haggling skill. I pulled up my screen looking to see if the exercise from last night had worked as I wanted .

Chapter 12

“How is life in the city?” Judy went on to question my brother during the meal.

“It’s very different, going from a village where everyone knows each other to a place filled with strangers that look out mainly for only their own family, it took some adjustment” my brother answered.

“I look forward to seeing the way of life your brother described in the days we’ll be staying here. Thanks again for welcoming me into your home” Kate said as we finished up the food.

Chapter 11

Tom P.O.V

The two weeks trip to the small village Open Caves did me a lot of good. I was still a little worked up from what had happened but at least most of my anger had bled out and I was only left with a lot of restless energy from just sitting in a cart.

Technically I was here for protection so when the fog came in a bit denser I went to the head of the caravan, to lead the way even though I knew the chances of something happening this close to the village wer...

Chapter 10

For the last few weeks all of our neighbors have been wondering why Judy came running home barely 10 minutes after going to see the caravan. Let me tell you that having them buy that it was all because of her finding the two emeralds in an odd piece of ore was a hard sell. But the way Judy sold it I almost believe she either got an acting or deception skill out of it. There were only 3 people that didn’t quite seem to believe it. Alana, Jonny and dad.

Alana might not really believe wh...

Chapter 9

The plants were more growing better than I ever would have expected, and I was experimenting to find out if the input also played a part in how well mana farming would play out by having the same type of plant being infused with my mana to capacity and it being watered by normal water, mana infused water and mana conjured water.

I had just finished watering the last plant when I see my sister enter the house. Well I say see but it’s more exactly hear.

“YOU WON’T BELIEVE IT!!...

Chapter 8

Clang! Clang! Clang!

I got used to hearing that sound over the last 5 cycles. Dad apparently decided that it was time for me to learn something outside of housekeeping and started me off with blacksmithing. I heard that my brother started with swordsmanship but I guess he wanted to steer me more towards the crafting path rather than fighter one.

Surprisingly there was a lot more to blacksmithing than I ever thought possible. It wasn’t that I underestimated it since I did watch a...

Chapter 7

It has been almost 3 years since I said goodbye to my brother, and I find myself in the garden tending to my little pet project. It all started with the silly superstition that X marks the spot, and I was convinced that there had to be a treasure there. Don’t judge me, if there is one thing that I figured out throughout all this time being reincarnated is that while my thought process may take advantage of my previous knowledge my body does not, meaning that my emotional reaction was the sa...

Chapter 6

The sun had barely started rising, a few rays making it through the window as I finished exhausting my stamina and mana. I crawled out of bed wanting to continue to practice my walking. I had no problem walking for a few weeks now but still had the bad habit of tripping when I picked up the speed even a little and I tried to turn. I would love to practice outside but apparently I wasn’t old enough to spend time alone outside.

I noticed something strange as I tripped for the 3rd time t...

CHapter 5

After dinner my mother picked me up and after clearing the table and we at my dad's request we all sat down around the empty table.

“Now son I know you made your decision about what you want to do and I respect that however there is one thing that I feel that I must do before you become an Apprentice.”

He says that because in this culture a person becomes an adult only when they no longer have either the Child or the Apprentice trait. This happens at 15 years old or around 22 ...

Chapter 4

I woke up early as I usually do and spent the next few minutes emptying out my mana pool before going doing the same to half my stamina and then continuing to make progress on my next big challenge: walking.

It’s far too often that I find just how many things I had taken for granted in my past life at the age of 24, but not having the muscle memory to walk makes learning to walk similar to walking drunk out of your mind without the added inebriation stopping you from noticing you just...

Chapter 3

It has been 7 cycles since I gained my status, at least according to my Child trait and I have found out that each cycle has 36 days. In this time life seems to have gone on all around me, my mastery of the local language has been increasing and I have learnt that my parents are call Sam and Silvia, that my older brother is very interested in me for some reason while my sister seems to just be following him around all day.

My mother seems to be a seamstress and my father a blacksmith, b...

Chapter 2

I wake up to a few rays of sun getting through the window and try to twist my head to get the light out of my eyes when I remember the scene last night and I’m instantly awake.

I tentatively try to pull up my status and sure enough the same thing as last night appears.
