My first companions.

We stayed in the country for another week and went towards north. Towards to the forest of elves, there was no one kingdom of elves but the entire forest regions up north had elven settlements in it, like ashenia forest where felvis came from, wishe forest where the elves are said to possess high amount of magic power even amongst elves and ryumilua forest from where ryuu came from.

Most places didn't even let other races go in, some downright attacks them, I am going to say it now, if any shitass attacks us, I am using that as an excuse to use my Susanoo. Now that I think about what does my Susanoo looked like?. I never used it, never had the chance to.

During our travel towards north we came across a barren land, it had few hills and some mountains as we had to cross around the mountain to go north. I asked shiva to stop the carriage, the small mountain began form where I stood, shiva was sitting at the drivers seat watching in curiosity,

I removed my blindfold, and activated both EMS and then the extra skill I received when I bought the second EMS.

[Susanoo].

As blue mana became visible around me, it started gather around me as an enormous body started forming around me and it was only it's upper body, it had four arms and each arm was holding a weapon. A sword. A spear. An axe. And A large hammer. It had the face like that of a demon. As I decided to check its power, I had a mountain in front of me,

To see how much of the mountain will be destroyed in one full powered hit, I deactivated its rest of the body only one arm was clear as the rest become blury, the hand was a sword. I poured almost all of my mana in one hit, I wanted to see it's full power. And I immediately regreted it,

I wanted to see how much will be destroyed in one hit, but there was nothing left of it, same with the 8 other mountains behind it. I pretty much opened a path here to the other side.

Holy #&₹_₹₹&₹₹#,

I looked at shiva, he was grinning ear to ear, he gave me a thumbs up and said I should do that more often.

Yah I take back what I said about using Susanoo, I am not using it, unless absolutely necessary. Maybe to scare the shit out of someone, it's face was scary as hell.

I jumped back inside the carriage, as we used the newly opened path to the other side. After my stunt shaved off 3 days worth of travel we arrived at the first settlement, a city named Karuna. It was a city of merchants and travellers who came to trade or visit the elven forest, the near by it was the alf's Royal forest,

According to the locals, if anyone who isn't a high elf tries to enter the forest, that person will be attacked immediately. Wow, just wow, these guys are taking the phrase 'a stick up my ass' to next level. I'm gonna stay away for them if possible.

Alright there were a lot of merchants here, and there has to be some more of those novels here, as I was searching around the town I found a shop which had a lots of books, I was about to enter, there was a crowd in front, they looked like elfs, long ears, shining skin, yep elves. They were standing near the entrance and nobody was approaching them. Whatever I need those books, I will just ask them what was going on there.

"excuse me" I said as they turned around and frowned at me.

"what do you want kid" one of them said, what's with the hostility?.

"books" I said while pointing inside the shop. They frowned again,

"get lost kid, his highness Alf is here, come back later" one of them shooed me away, his highness Alf?, riveria's father or brother?. Whatever I will just go to other shops.

After a full 6 hours of going around the town, I found 3 shops that had quality stuff. By the time I was back at I had about 30 books, officially more than shiva. These stuff will easily last for at least a year. Just as shiva and I were about to leave for dinner. One of the elves that was at the shop was standing at the entrance of the Inn, after spotting us he shouted to other that the brat was here,

Apparently these guys have been searching for a brat with blindfold and could easily see, the elf approached us with a frown, what's with them and frowns, is it there default expression?.

he told me hand over the books I bought from the shops, apparently his highassnesss Alf wants them, I bought the book he wanted and the shopkeeper told him that a brat with white hair and blindfold bought. He said that they will pay me back for the books.

Ahhhh.. Nope. Those are mine now, go f&₹& yourself, was what I wanted to say but instead I chose to deny politely he just looked annoyed now, I looked where shiva was, he already started eating and was watching this fu₹&assry like it's some sort of historical drama, yes that was his favourite genre.

Suddenly other elves came inside the Inn, that's when I noticed that they were ordinary elves but high elves, that's why they were behaving like cliché characters. one of them, very reluctantly, even offered me an extra lollipop for the trouble, what the. Even that prick was more generous, how much does a lollipop cost anyway?. I sighed I really don't what to pick a fight with, because then the entire elf kind will be after my ass, and then I will use a Susanoo and elves will become an extinct species.

One of them got annoyed and called me a pipsqueak, alright they done it now. I kicked the guy in his balls, he fell on the ground and started crying, now they were supremely pissed before they all could jump on me,

"stop" someone called from the entrence, it was a young elf, then again these shits looked young even after 100 years, he was being followed by some more elves,

He ordered everyone to stop, a bunch of high elves ganging up on a child wasn't good for there image of dignified race. He stopped in front of me, looked down at me and smiled. For some reason I am certain, he and I will not get along, not in a few centuries. He introduced himself as Aerin ljos Alf, Prince of the Alf Royal forest. He told me that they didn't have permission to leave the forest and he really wanted those books, he will pay me for the trouble.

Alright sounds fair, but isn't he being a little too professional with an 7 year old, for elves even kids were pretty mature, especially with high elves so maybe it's a habit. I, being the good little boy I am, apologised for kicking that guy in the knockers. The royalty laughed it off, I showed him my collection, he took 5 of the books, thanked me and left. After paying for it of course, shiva for the whole drama had been eating and finished, leaving me there to eat alone.

As I was eating some people asked me if they could join me, they looked like adventurers and were quite young, there was a werewolf boy, two humans boys they were twins and a catgirl. They were praising me for teaching those stick up there ass bastard a lesson, they was good and all but now every elf avoid like the plague, I just nodded and shook my head as response, I was eating for goodness sake I might choke if I speak,

Then they asked me if I was an adventurer, I nodded, if I had a party, oh so this is were this was going, guess having companions won't be bad, I said that I was traveling with my god. They then invited me to there party, they all were from different familias and had been hanging out and completing quest together for a while now. I decided to join them,

Next morning, I told shiva about my plan, he said that he will be visiting other gods here and see if any of his friends are here, I just nodded and left. Near the edge of the town there were the two human members waiting, they greeted me and after a while the cat girl and the werewolf joined,

There quest was to search for the cause of the sudden destruction of some mountains near the foot of the great northern mountain range. Needless to say they didn't find the culprit because they were searching for the culprit with the culprit. Me.

By the time sun was down they didn't find any clue aside from the fact there were carriage marks there meaning people have already starting using the newly opened route, while the whole search I had this urge to shout "there is an imposter among us" but held myself together. Shiva was certainly enjoying himself, as there were many books that he liked as well. By nightfall we reported our findings, or the lack thereof, to the merchant who issued the quest.

Since we didn't find any thing there capable of doing such damage, they assumed what or whoever did they left long ago. The quest itself was requested by a Dwarven settlement near the foot of the great northern mountains, Rhondda. The place were Gareth landrock came from. There were various Dwarven settlement in the foot of Northern mountains and they usually get in argument with elves, since the gods descended they were more vocal in there scorn for each other than getting physically violent. Some gods acted as mediator for the two sides to reach peace.

We stayed in there for over 3 months, during this time it was lots of reading, and trivial quests with my new party, they were only level 1s and they treated me like one of them, they were extremely curious what was behind my blindfold, I replied 'ma eyes',. There were questions about why I wore the blindfold but I mostly dodged the question, but after a month of working together, I decided to show them. They were surprisingly chill about, they said they have heard and seen worse shit then this, they found it cool instead.

At that moment I decided I will work with them longer, the werewolf in our group came from a village that was destroyed by monsters, very few of villagers survived, after that they all went there own way, he was around 17 years old well he looked like I didn't ask his age, his name was Lowe loga from the loga tribe.

Holy, what are the chances of that. Same tribe as bete loga huh?. I will ask him about the famous werewolf someday.

Next up were the human twins, they even younger around 15 both looked a little alike, they were men of few words like yours truly so we got along very well. They were born here in this city, and lived with there parents here in this town, they were merchants like mine used to be. They were named Larry and ron.

Then there was the cat girl, she was the pain of my existence here, she would regularly pinch my cheeks, force me to sit on her lap, treating me like her personal teddy bear, she was from the empire. That was a place that caught my ears, it was strong nation, not at the level of two great familias or orario but around raika levels but it had some really strong adventurers. It think Chloe Rollo came from there.

Actually, orario is now no longer the strongest power in the world, no now that title belongs to Atlanta. Ha, take that you dungeon made bit#&s

Our residential cat girl, named Nala fizen came from there because she was completely out of job there, there were only a handful strong adventurers there but there were many low leveled adventurers,

I think I will pay a visit a visit to empire sometime, but first order of business is two S class skill I have been eyeing, but for those two I have to visit some places.

So after 4th month I told them that I will be leaving and with heavy heart we parted ways.

Next stop the city of magic, altena. And the sword smithing city, Zolingham.
