Aeryon look at the status window.
Seven skills.
He got seven skill.
"I think all my hard work for the past three days is rewarded"
Though Aeryon does held hope to get more benefits he should be happy with what he has.
he checks the first skill he got
He taps on the skill window of Mighty Strike
And the description quickly popped out in front of his eyes in the form of a status window
............…..
[Mighty Strike]

[This skill is related to strength attribute. The higher the level of the strength, the more powerful this skill becomes]
.......
'So, this skill depends on the strength attribute' Aeryon did not yet check the strength description.
He is tempted to try to try using this skill right now. But he restrains himself.
Instead, he looks at the next skill
Aeryon then tapped the second skill he got Unbreakable

This skill also seems to be a very powerful skill. It would be a good complement to his Mighty Strike.
He then looks at his next skill Second Breath

____________________________
There is a lot of other things that Aeryon need to check. Like what is the proficiency level. What is the beginner rank and how to upgrade the rank? How many ranks there is?
What is the use of skill points? What is the use of attribute points? What does attributes mean and how is it calculated?
There is many things that he needs to check.
So, Aeryon spend another half an hour inside his tent, checking all of these attributes one by one and it is only after he finished all of this he came out of his tent.
Now, Aeryon look at the people of his tribe.
There is a smile on his face
"It is quite the work. But, seeing these many people…..maybe it would not be that hard. At least I have to have some kind of confidence in myself"
James is timid. Aeryon is brave and resourceful. Now, their memories, their feeling seems to be entangled with each other. Now James is Aeryon and he decided to not think about complicated stuff
He had kept himself busy because he did not want to think about his original self. He did not want to wallow in self-pity. If he stopped to think about his true identity, he fears he would break down.
This world is nothing like his world.
There is many harshness of the world that he had to endure. It is good that he has the system.
That he has some kind of familiarity with everything because of his assimilation with the original Aeryon.
And he also has a good position. At least he did not start by becoming a slave
"I wonder if I have to speak to myself from now on" he muttered to himself. He knows he could not talk about the fact that he is not the original Aeryon.
That he come from a different world. And he still does not know what this world really is.
Is it really the world from the book he reads? Or is it a parallel world? Or is the book a portal to this world? What happened before he went into this world?
There is so many question that plagued his mind when he thinks about it that it could be debilitating.
James doesn't remember much of what happened. Or to be more accurate, he doesn't remember at all how he came to this world
He of course remember his childhood and a few close friends a few events in his life as James.
But when he tries to think of the day when he enter this world…. for some reason his memories is drawing a blank.
Did he come into this world after dying? But he doesn't remember dying. The last memory he have of himself as James was he lying down on his sofa, this book on his hand as he reads it.
And then…. cut
IT was like his memory was cut off. And then he suddenly become Aeryon, on the route to the Northshire.
He looks at the sky and sighed
"There should be a day where I should bury James. There should be such a day" he muttered to himself.
James, Aeryon.
He is James.
But he is now Aeryon.
When he reads book that delas with this, the main character always quickly accept that they are transmigrated into another body
But when it comes to him, there should be a proper farewell. He though of himself as Aeryon, and he tries to be Aeryon but there is still a lo of traces of James.
One day…..when that day comes where he truly assimilates to this world, truly become the people of this world…. then that is the day when he should bury James and become Aeryon.
"Until that day…." Aeryon knows it will take time. But for now, he would only focus on survival.
He set himself a goal. He knows this is not James behaviour but Aeryon behaviour. Since he inhabited Aeryon body, he also has Aeryon memories.
And because of that he knows that even without him, Aeryon, if he did not die on his journey to Northshire, he could still make something of himself.
And the more memories of Aeryon he got, the more he admire this person that he inhabited. And the more he understand Aeryon. This is why when he interacted with Belarion, there doesn't seem to anything weird that stands out.
It is almost impossible for him to pretend to be Aeryon if he did not inherit the original Aeryon memories and demeanour.
Marynku children did not receive anything like a formal education.
Most of them, if not all of them is illiterate, so the original never learned to read or write, nor did he receive any instruction in the arts or sciences.
That is why James thinks that Aeryon is a remarkable person.
In the memory he inherited, the original Aeryon was raised in a manner typical for all Marynku boys.
He relied on what he was taught by his family and relatives, as well as his own practical experience.
He learned to ride horses and use the bow when he was very young
It is not a false saying that the children of the Great Steppe learned to ride horses at the same time they took their first steps.
He skated on winter ice with blades made of bone or wood, and he learned to track and hunt game animals like squirrels and deer.
This lack of education makes Aeryon plans and strategy to use the Yan Empire and his subsequent plans to take revenge become even more remarkable for James
James has his own evaluation of the original Aeryon. His evaluation is that the original Aeryon is a skilled observer, possessing a great deal of intelligence and a remarkable ability to consider different ideas and ways of doing things, which he could then later adapt to his own purposes.
And if the original Aeryon is like that, James could not really be worse than that. He took it as personal challenge.
This person lacks education but he did not lack any drive.
"this world is real. The people are real. This is not game" these words come out of his mouth. Because he wanted to remind himself. That all of this is real
And not treat this as a game. He should have as much drive as Aeryon did to survive and he should do everything he should
He takes a deep breath and exhale.
"I should make this a ritual for myself" he thought to himself.
From now on, it would not be bad to start every morning with introspection of who he is and what his objective is.
This is not Aeryon habits.
This is James.
And there will come a day when the two will assimilate and Aeryon does not know how to feel when that time comes
He shakes his head, shaking this thought off his mind.
Now, he should think about his next step
In the distance, the morning sun shows its face and the horses neigh. A new day has begun and the wind of change is blowing all over.
