The New Identity.

News about Aron becoming hunter spread faster than light. People were talking about a new hunter everywhere. It brought happiness to some people, however, there were people that were angry about this fact. One of them was blacksmith Ian, his plotting against boy needed to be done in a less official way from now on.

'Hmm. Let's appraise my game.'

[Deer]

[Desc: Ordinary deer.]

[Traits: Weird Horns, Elusive, Flexible]

[Skills: Running, Kicking]

'What happens if I plunder trait of other species?'

[Plundered traits are adapted to the host's body. There are exceptions from this rule at some traits. For example, the host will grow horns if you add this trait to your status.]

'I wouldn't be able to utilize those horns anyway.'

[Plundered: Flexible, Kicking]

The change brought by this trait made his muscles and bones little more flexible. You could say, that his current flexibility could rival the flexibility of experienced gymnastic's practitioners.

This world was in the middle of Bronze era, all tools are made from copper or its alloy bronze. Aron needed metals, a blacksmith was a problem.

'What's his problem? I didn't do anything to him. At least during all those years…'

[Hidden Quest complete.]

[Quest name: Hunter's pride.]

[Quest goal: Bring your first game to the village.]

[Reward: +2 AP, +2 SP]

'Nice! Put those points in INT.'

Getting his memories was a priority, strength and other attributes were easily upgraded by professions boosts.

He brought deer carcass to Roger's house. His dismantling would waste many precious materials, so letting an experienced person do it was the best decision.

"Hello. Can you help me with dismantling this deer?" The boy asked sincerely for help, creating some tools needed knowledge about the anatomy of animals.

"No fancy tools? Fu…Whatever wait here I will bring a table here." He wanted to scold kid, however, it didn't have much effect. Most people dismantled their prey outside as there was light and you wouldn't dirty your house with blood and animal's other insides.

A boy tried to assist during dismantling and carefully listened to tips from an experienced man. Aron didn't need much meat, he left most of it to Roger. It will be mostly dried and exchanged with other things.

Sometime later, Rose's father came to him and initiated conversation.

[Name: Casper]

[Title: The Black Arrow]

[Race: Human]

[Stats: STR 1.4, DEX 1.7, END 1.8, INT 1.9, PER 1.8, CHA 1.3]

[Talent: Bow(Mortal-Medium)]

[Traits: Eagle's eyes, Fast hands,??]

[Skills: Military Archery, Medium Bow Mastery, Cooking, Animal Handling, Dismantling, Stealth, Traps, Beginner Sword Mastery,??]

"Hello. Par…kid!" Casper wanted to call him parasite as he was extremely used to calling him this name. White-haired boy wasn't parasite anymore, so he stopped in the middle of dialogue and said something more appropriate.

"Good afternoon. What's up?" The only reason for their bad relationship was his previous behavior. It shouldn't be a problem anymore as he changed his entire way of living.

"I heard about you becoming a hunter. I don't know what did Roger think…However, I don't doubt his judgment. You are still young and inexperienced, so if you have any questions. You can come to me. I will try to give you some tips." It was the first move from Casper to repair his relationship with him. Showing goodwill was a good move.

"Don't cause trouble to my daughter! Or I will fucking beat the shit out of you!" It was a nice warning from a little overprotective father.

His days needed to be rescheduled as he gained new possibilities. New daily schedule:

[Dawn to noon. Forest exploration.]

[Afternoon to evening. Grinding sculpting, woodworking and farming.]

[Evening to midnight. Training battle skills.]

The interesting part was integrating the kicking skill from deer into his status. This skill was mastered in no time as 3.M.A kicking aspect was more complicated.

This time, he entered forest alone. It was definitely more pleasant as none complained about his actions. The flora of Destia was different from his memories from Earth. Various unknown plants could be found in this forest.

'They could go extinct on Earth. There is a possibility of the different path of evolution too. Researching the properties of those plants will be interesting.'

He inserted some herbs into space for the system's analysis. Improving database of farming space was important to his future development.

It was almost noon, so the boy started to slowly leave the forest. His sight caught something unusual, it was small fluffy animal happily munching grass.

[White Rabbit]

[Attributes: STR 0.3, DEX 1.4, END 2.4]

[Traits: Strong Legs, Fluffy fur]

[Skills: Leap, Fast Running]

[Fluffy fur]

[Desc: Rare mutation in DNA caused fluffiness overflow.]

Rabbits were domesticated by humans and doing so was really profitable. Meat and fur for price of plant matter, extremely attractive deal for him.

'Don't move and let me catch you.' It wasn't aware of his existence, using stealth and superior speed made this easy. Aron inserted it into farming space, constructing some cage for it could wait until his return.

[Animal form detected. Scanning... Adding to the database.]

[Requirements for creating the ranch space are not met. Space won't be created.]

'What are the requirements?'

[Host should find out about this by himself.]

'Don't be like this system!'

[There is no babysitting mode in the system.]

It was time to hand over herbs to chief, getting most of them wasn't hard. All of them in a safe area in the forest, so gathering those required only time.

"Those are in perfect state with preserved roots. Great job! You did a great favor for the village! You can come to me anytime. I will give my all to teach you!" His voice was filled with real gratitude, some of those herbs could be replanted in his herbal garden. Sometimes herbs were more important than food or clothes.

"I am actually partially interested in cultivating herbs, so I will keep an eye for rare specimens." Expansion of space will bring him unmeasurable profit.

It was time to skill grinding, so he left Carl and entered his workshop space. Increasing attributes was a pleasant feeling, planting new herbs in the space. Chopping wood to sculpt smaller parts into interesting shapes.

Working at forest allowed him to secure a new source of wood, as for planting trees in his space was actually inefficient. Trees needed years to grow to a useful size, space used for growing them could be used to cultivate other plants with the faster growth rate.

Sculpting was a relaxing job, you could pour your mind onto the wood. His target was to sculpt Demon wolf, lack of artistic sense made it impossible.

'Someday, I will sculpt something great.'
