The Profession.

The chisel was a little rusted but it was still functional, Aron had free time afternoon, and he could learn how to sculpt. The art of sculpting wasn't for everyone, although the boy received the help of the system to grasp any skill or ability. It was still hard to do something for first time.

'How to start?' It wasn't the point, and he had no idea what to sculpt.

'Ok, let's start from something easy.' He retrieved stouter stick outside and decided to use as material. The plan was to sculpt a sword from it, and his creativity wasn't working at this moment. The beginning was simple he had to reshape stick into blade and handle. Time passed and the sun was almost down, the sword if you could call this weirdly shaped creation was almost ready. Aron didn't obtain any skill for his monstrous creation and felt troubled, still it wasn't long as notification appeared few seconds later.

'...' He decided to leave chisel and not try to sculpt anymore.

The next day, it was time to sow the field. It was the first month of spring, and it was quite a calm spring. Gentle wind, rain from time to time and quite a sunny weather. Rain was good as it brought life giving water into infertile grounds around a village.

After obtaining skill sowing, he improved the method of sowing displayed by Roger. Initially, the seeds were sown in shallow holes in a ground. It wasn't good method, and the knowledge about sowing allowed him to sow the seeds in better way while adjusting depth and distance between seeds.

[Do you wish to activate profession Farmer?]

'If I voluntarily choose this occupation will I typically become a farmer for my life?'

[There is no limit in professions. The host can have multiple professions at the same time.]

'Ok. Activate it.'

At the moment his mind was penetrated with farming knowledge. He became little dazed but after a few seconds, this feeling faded away, so he could continue working.

[Quest completed]

[Goal: Get job…]

[Reward: Removing random negative trait.]

[Undeveloped Brain trait removed.]

"ARGHHHH!" His brain was forced to make up few years of slacking off. All holes inside of his head started to bleed, a few seconds later boy fell on ground unconscious.

A few hours later, he was laying inside of his room in Roger's house. His body was washed and there was fragrance of herbs on his body.

'Where am I? I feel strange! My brain doesn't lag anymore! It's great feeling! Roger apparently hauled me to here…Smell of herbs? Village chief?'

It was now evening and sleeping for some time was the best choice. Increased capabilities of his brain can be checked next day.

Old man came at morning to check on him, boy was already awake.

"Next time, fucking go to your room if you want to take a nap!" His voice bore some traces of ease mixed into anger.

"Thank you for everything, Old man!" Aron thanked him sincerely and apologized for worries of old man.

"I needed convincing village chief to help you. You owe me this time, kid! Don't freaking die before you pay your debts kiddo!" Roger shook his head and left the room, behind façade of eccentric old man was caring old man.

'He is right. I undoubtedly owe him…' His conscious mind could comprehend basic things and elderly farmer actually risked by permitting him work for on his farm. Aron hasn't discovered simple facts until now, behind most of the oppression are a blacksmith and his family. Why would people waste their time to bully stupid kid?

'What the hell is his problem?'

A boy decided to go work to empty his head out of unnecessary thoughts. Farming was quite relaxing, still something was wrong. Skill proficiency didn't go up while he was working diligently, it was precisely something bizarre.

'System, what's happening?'

[Displaying the logs.]

[Farming proficiency increased by 0,3 points (30% due to the quality of action)]

It was something new, if he didn't do action properly the number of points was decreased. This was logical, but the system has been logical existence until now.

'I need to focus and do it properly if I want to level up.'

They finished the sowing and Aron possessed free time. It was time to check out new things and train even more. Old man reminded him to not overwork his body, and most of the people thought that his mysterious collapse was caused by exhaustion.

'It means that things personally sowed by me will supply 1% more than normal plants.'

[Host is mistaken, they will typically yield 1% more than they naturally supposed to yield. Example if mature Apple tree was supposed to yield 100 apples, it will yield 101 thanks to the host involvement in farming process.]

None was nearby, however he decided to go to his hut as none ever enters this cursed building.

[Welcome to personal space.]

His body appeared in a middle of empty fields, there was nothing besides empty ground. There was mist covering every border of space, sky was clear and it lacked the sun. This was very bizarre as you could see sunlight without the sun.

'It's not sunlight if it doesn't come from the sun. It's just a light.'

[New objects detected. Analyzing.]

[New plant added to the database.]

[New plant added to the database.]

He held only a few seeds of black wheat inside of his pocket. Why did it discover another plant?

[Plants: Black wheat, Flax]

'Flax? Ahh, my underwear is made from linen probably.' It was fascinating because space didn't analyze only seeds but the all plant matter.

'System. How do I generate organic seeds?'

[System will generate raw seeds from world energy.]

'Worlds energy? I don't understand?'

[Host wouldn't able to interpret this process even if system explained it to you.]

'Then how can I get this world energy?'

'How do I check how much world energy do I have?'

'Why it's 500?'

[Its amount provided by the system for free.]

He decided to generate some wheat seeds, and screen with information with prices appeared.

[Black Wheat: 1kg/10 WE]

[Flax: 1kg/5 WE]

'How much wheat seed, I need to sow this area.'

[Entire area is 1 ha = around 100 kg of seeds of wheat.]

'It's too much for now. Let's start with lower amounts for beginning.'

After a moment of walking in a circle, and pondering about this particular problem.

'Let's generate 10kg of wheat and 10 kg of flax.'

In few seconds 2 big piles, appeared next to him.

"SHIT! I need sowing them with my own hands!" At beginning his mind was disappointed, however after few minutes he discovered undoubted potential of this area. Infinite amount of food, proficiency points and wealth.
