"What is this? I don't understand." It was confusing as weird window appeared before his eyes. His memories from a modern world didn't cover technologies, and most of them were fuzzy events.

[The system is given to host to assist the host in development.]

[Quest Name: I am back?]

[Goal: Get back to Amber Village.]

[Reward: Unlocking part of your memories as Marcus Reave.]

Growl! His stomach started prompting him about primary needs. System recovered his body from damages done by thugs, however frail constitution and being malnourished made him extremely weak.

This location was not far from the village, and thugs didn't even carry his body to a forest. They left it in the middle of plains between forest and village.

'Where am I? It should be not far from a village.' Aron wandered a couple of times outside of the village in search of food, and you can gather some edible plants on plains. Begging wasn't always successful, sometimes he couldn't eat for a few days straight.

A few minutes later, boy was walking into the direction of the village. Unsteady legs, almost no stamina, and an empty stomach. His clothes were still tattered and covered in blood, and the only difference was a way of walking. Straight posture, high positioned head, most of the current 'Aron' was made from a consciousness of Marcus. Previous Aron couldn't speak or look straight into the eyes of other people, it was a result of brain disability. At the moment his wounds were repaired, 'Aron' awakened and started struggle as his first experience was losing body to another person.

His previous life couldn't be considered as conscious life, it was merely a combination of instincts with minimal intelligence.

"I am Aron, but I am not Aron at the same time…" Confusion continued as he walked closer to the village, getting to the village triggered a notification.

[Quest Complete]

[Do you wish to withdraw the reward?]

'Memories from my previous life, huh? Anything! I hope to fill my head with anything practical as I recollect nothing.'

[Beginning fusion of memories. Part of memories fused.]

Those memories contained some basic knowledge from primary school as he received memories from the beginning of Marcus's life.

'Why only small part? It was only a few most initial years from his or my life!'

[It's a reasonable amount for now. Host's brain is undeveloped and only recovered from brain disability.]

The kid went to his ruined hut, and the sight of its interior caused him to feel extremely displeased. The building was in a state of decay, and there were piles of trash inside as Aron collected them in unknown purpose. Couple tattered robes, broken containers and nothing to eat. Nothing useful or interesting, only trash.

'It's my house? It's fuckin bullshit.' How could a proper person live in such an environment? Memories of frosty nights, leaking roof during the rainy days and many more terrible experiences were inside of his memories. Those memories were his, yet most of them were foreign to him.

'Begging for food? I need to eat or will fucking die!' Truth was harsh, still dignity and honor were for living. Dead people didn't care about such things at all.

People in a village weren't vicious, however, most of them were simple-minded and his lack of ability didn't help him in getting friends. Some people provided him something to eat, still, most of them chased him away or vented their anger on him. Previous Aron didn't strike back or resist, and he didn't even talk much. An only person that cared about his life and it was Rose, daughter of a local hunter. Little beauty of their village, kid and gentle. Everyone admired her and people couldn't understand her caring for this trash.

'Let's go to Rose. She constantly supported this body in terrible times.'

He thought and left to ask for food. The girl's house wasn't far from his own. Walking there took only a few minutes, the boy forgot about his appearance.

"IT'S YOU ARON? YOU ARE ALIVE! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? ARE YOU HURT SOMEWHERE?" His clothes were covered in mud and dried blood, and she panicked and started checking k his body for any injuries.

"Hello. I am okay. Boys took me to play, and I tripped." Her eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing, boy talked to her and didn't avoid her gaze at all. A total change of attitude, personality, and way of moving. Rose discovered many other differences between previous Aron and the current one. His back was straight, and his eyes were filled with confidence.

[Quest Generated.]

[Quest name: I am wearing trousers!]

[Quest goal: Change Rose's opinion about you!]

[Quest reward: ???]

Her eyes were emerald green and her hair was fiery red, her face had many freckles on it. She was a cute girl with a kind personality, and it was hard to not like her.

"What happened to you?!Yesterday, you couldn't even say word to me! Look at you now!" The disparity between current and previous him was too big. It was like he was entirely another person.

"I hit ground with my head and it became clearer. Don't worry. I think my head is working properly right now." Answer was straightforward, he couldn't reveal the truth as it would be stupid.

"I need to ask for a favor. I didn't eat for two days, and I don't have anyone to ask for help. Can you aid me one more time?" His voice carried little shame, however filling his stomach was more important than stupid dignity.

'I was fucking beggar most of this life…Why I have so much pride? I want all memories of my previous life!'

She smiled and looked at him, and this situation wasn't anything new for her.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! Aron's stomach started generating odd noises.

"Hahaha. Come inside, there are some leftovers from breakfast." She invited him to her family's hut.

Classic wooden design, some animal leathers on walls and other trophies from hunts and cozy atmosphere. Nothing out of ordinary, still considering place he was inhabiting it could be described as luxurious.

"Thank you, Rose!" Aron said with sincerity. Rose was a little shocked as boy before her became more human-like. You could consider prior him as a stray ugly dog, though his current disposition and personality were reasonably reliable.

He didn't want to enter, his body was too dirty. Hygiene wasn't important too most of people in current era, however his mind was currently filled with memories of life in modern world.

"Why didn't you come inside?" Rose was looking at him with weird expression, first changes and now Aron was acting weird.

"I am too dirty…I don't want bring filth into your house!" It wasn't funny at all, still new habits started to take over his old personality.

"Don't worry, silly! Come in!" As girl found out the reason of this akward situation she giggled and signaled him to enter.

After finishing the meal, boy thanked her for the second time and left. Relying on her to secure food wasn't good, he needed to find new meal source very soon.

He came back to his hut and examined required repairs, and it was almost impossible for current him to get this building to good shape. It nevertheless was his home, repairing it was important to his future life.

"System? Can you aid me some way?" Aron asked the mysterious being that was talking to him inside his head from time to time.

[System cannot do everything for you. Don't be ridiculous, host. ]

"Thank you... Really, improve your entire opinion in Rose mind or get revenge on a group of people fitter than you. Just great..."

It wasn't time for self-pity, Aron stood up and decided to go search for a way to acquire materials for hut's repairs. He was scrawny and frail, his eyes were red and hair was snow-white. Although if he wasn't malnourished his appearance would be little above average, it wasn't significant now. New Aron could try persuading people if they let him talk long enough. Most of the children in his age were already working with their parents, preparing for their adulthood.

The village had few mayor professions, the most respected hunter, hunters were securing food from the forest while risking their lives. Rose's father was one of the huntsmen, and he was best taking in consideration active hunters.

Another important job was a carpenter, basically, all things related to wood needed to get through carpenters. They made planks, tool shafts and many various things using logs as material. Carpenters in villages were lumberjacks at the same time, however, in bigger villages, those two professions were held by two people. An amber village had only one person to take care of both jobs as it was a small village.

The most key decisions in the community were prosecuted by the village chief. Most of them were elderly and thank their experience and life's wisdom and they were great judges and guides for villagers. Some of them had knowledge of herbs and could utilize it to heal, but it wasn't in all cases.

Tools were produced by blacksmiths, yet it was a rare occupation because this profession required a long apprenticeship and most of the blacksmiths didn't take apprentices outside of the family. It made this profession, family thing.

There were stone masons, farmers, ranchers, weavers and many other professions. Most of people worked in many fields as they couldn't afford to be specialized in one profession. For example, carpenters could work on fields and handle animals too. It wasn't something special for poverty stricken people.
