Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Warmth...

When I regained my consciousness, that was the first thing I felt.

*Open eyes*

Sun? Where have I been sleeping to wake- AH.

*Intense headache*

F****** That hurts... I see, So, I am reincarnated now. It feels like a long time ago since I have talked with Odin, I mean, Mr.ROB. Must be because of these memories. Memories of fights I am sure I have never been to. But, strangely, the memories of those fights don't feel strange to me. It feels like I have lived the lives of three people named, Kokushibo-Upper Moon One, Kirukiru AMOU, and Twin-winged Edelweiss. After experiencing those fighting memories, I feel like it would not even matter even if I just become a normal villager A and forget about fighting.

However, deep inside, I know. I know that I am not those people. I am me.

At that moment, a word appears in my mind. A word, no, a name, I am so familiar with because this is my name.

Embra.

Embra. This is my name. And, this is my second life at TBATE.

[[[Ding]]]

[[[Memories merging and sorting complete]]]

[[[Running scan on Host soul and memories... All Normal]]]

[[[Congratulation Host. You have been successfully reincarnated and completely assimilated with the memories of three people.]]]

What the... Who is speaking in my mind with that stupid mechanic voice- Ah, are you the support system?

[[[Affirmative. The system is created by my lord to assist you in your journey in this life]]]

Cool. I now have a system like those protagonists in Isekai Novel. Oh, who am I kidding, I was also isekai'ed. Haha.

*cough* Anyway, I will check the system later because it is hot in here. Gotta find some shade... *Looks around*

Looking around, I see that I am sleeping on the slope side of a hill with a wide meadow in front of me. I can see many different colors of flowers, whose names I don't know but, they are beautiful. Looking around, I feel at peace, feeling the breeze and sunlight while listening to the occasional bird chirping or noises of small animals.

*Breath In* *Breath Out*

Taking a deep breath, I feel the air is so fresh in here. Damn, I would not mind living my life here forever. But, I could not afford to be caught up in the beauties of nature. I have things to do.

So, I headed to the top of the hill where a huge tree is standing with plenty of shade underneath it. I was going to run there immediately but, I caught sight of my legs, my small legs. Checking myself, I see that I am wearing some rough clothes a village would wear which consists of a plain brown shirt with dark brown pants held by a dark leather belt. One thing though, I saw some tears here and there on my clothes, maybe the result of long years or something? I don't know. I also see a small dagger on my right side held by the belt but, before I check it out, I saw my hands, which still have some baby fats on them. Damn, how old is this body? five?

[[[You are 4 years, 3 months, and 22 days old as of today.]]]

4 years old? Really? Then, why didn't I get this body's memories?

[[[Do you want to assimilate the memories of this body? Warning: The memories will also bring along emotions and headaches. Do you want to proceed?]]]

By this point, I am already walking towards the shade. So, as soon as I sit down on the grass, I decided to accept the memories of this body. And, the system was not joking when it said, it will bring emotions and headaches.

The story was like this. There was a pioneer village near the Beast Glades. 'Was' because the village had been destroyed in the monster attacks. The villagers decided to move to the nearby city because of frequent beast attacks. The city was four days away on carriage but, because they have to take a detour around a deadly forest even in the beast glades, it took them seven days just to reach the outer edges of the Beast glades. But, before they can relax, they were ambushed by a group of monsters, maybe the hospitality of the Darv Kingdom?

Anyway, because of that, they had to enter the deadly forest of Beast Glades. And, as the name suggests, the forest was really deadly for the villagers. Even if they are the adventures, their numbers came down to just 5 in just a week. The only reason they survived for one week is because of their experience but, even so, the day comes that, all the villagers were killed even the parents of this boy whose body I am in right now.

Being urged by his parents to run away, the boy run in tears of sadness, frustration, and fear. He did not care for anything. No, he no longer cares for anything and just run till his legs given out a day later, and fell unconscious at the slope of the hill where I wake up from.

*sigh* Too much emotions accompany the memories but, too bad, it was just enough for me to shed a tear or two. Oh, I am not being heartless, it is just I do not understand the sadness of the boy which comes from the fact that he will no longer see his parents, which has nothing to do with me. I mean, I am not a family guy and I do not understand parental love, as I got none in my childhood.

So, my tears are for the loneliness the boy feels after tiring himself out after running.

Well, that concludes the emotional drama of this body whose memories are frankly not that useful. Come on, what can a four years old boy do besides remembering the name of his parents, the village he grows up in, and the vague location of it. Hah... so useless.

Anyway, let's forget about this whole past memories thing and focus on other essential things. So, first thing first, show me your functions, system.

[[[Ding! System has four function]]]

[[[Shop]]]

[[[Achievement]]]

[[[Stimulation]]]

[[[Inventory]]]

[[[Would you like to see the details?]]]

Inventory?! Yes!!! Thank you, Mr.ROB... OK, I understand the others but, what is the stimulation? Anyway, system, show me the details of all your function.

[[[Affirmative]]]

[[[Shop - By using the system points, you can buy non-magical things of this world from the system.]]]

[[[Achievement - System will reward you for certain actions that are deemed 'Impressive' by Lord.]]]

[[[Simulation - Can simulate the real-life scenario, and useful for practicing your skills]]]

[[[Inventory - 200 cubic meter wide room where the time will not flow and everything can be stored as long as it is not alive or has its own will.]]]

So..., I can only get normal things from the shop and the achievement reward is basically from Mr.ROB. Cool. Nice to know that an old pervert is stalking you. Haa... Stop being sarcastic, Embra. Let's just appreciate the fact that he gave you a whole small apartment building space worth of inventory. And lastly, stimulation is basically VR, right?

[[[Correct. But, the 'Stimulation' Function is 100 times better than VR as it can also reproduce all five senses. In the case that you are engaging a battle in the stimulation, it can even give you a sense of pain, but it will not affect your original body in any way.]]]

I see. So, it is like SAO, huh? Well now, ain't that useful? I thought I would have trouble getting used to fighting with this body but, it has become a little bit easier now. But, System, isn't there a starter pack or something like that?

[[[Yes, it is in the inventory.]]]

Oho. I was honestly not expecting a starter pack or something after five wishes but, well, who am I to complain. Besides, any advantages I can get are good because I am in a four years old body. Hm, wait a second, I have not confirmed all my five wishes, right? But, when I think it carefully, the previous owner of this body run through the forest at his maximum speed for one whole day. Normal kids should not be able to do that, right? Besides, every cut or bruises on the body is already healed by the point I wake up. So, I can say that I have high stamina and high regenerative factors. Hm. That is a piece of really good news. However, there is a limit to how strong a four years old can be. So, where is my third wish? Any idea, system?

[[[This meadow is the safe place that lord prepared for Host. The safe area is the whole meadow and some part of the forest surrounding it, which comes to 50,000 square meters]]]

Ah, I see, that is why it is peaceful in here because it is a safe zone, huh? But, what makes it a safe zone though? What keeps the monster away from this place? Please don't tell me it is the presence of a stronger monster...

[[[Negative. The whole place is safe because of &@&#&@.... ERROR. Host is not strong enough to know this yet. Host is suggested to get stronger and explore this place.]]]

... oh! that sounds really peaceful. LIKE HELL I will believe that. At least give me a guarantee that there is no strong monster in this 'safe' place. Or I won't be able to fall asleep.

[[[Host can be assured that there is no mana beast in this safe zone.]]]

Are you really really sure though?

[[[Affirmative]]]

I am still not sure but, OK. Fine, I will believe you. *Tch* Damn, I hate this four years old body. At least reincarnate me in a teenage body or something. *sigh* Let's move on to the fourth wish. What do you got, system?

[[[Beginner lessons for a mage]]]

Seeing the interface in front of me, I see that it is showing the inventory and in there is a book for beginner mages. So, that is the first book I should read, huh? OK, What else is there in the inventory?

[[[MRE x 1000]]]

[[[Drinking Water - 1000 Liter]]]

[[[Villager clothes]]]

[[[Hunter clothes]]]

[[[A set of hunting tools]]]

[[[A set of taining swords]]]

[[[Basic surviving tools[]]]

[[[System Point 1000]]]

[[[Executioner blade- Meliodas' broadsword]]]

[[[Intermediate Lessons for a mage]]]

[[[Advance lessons for a mage]]]

[[[Expert lessons for a mage]]]

[[[Grand lessons for a mage]]]

...

...

Wow. I mean, wow. There are hundreds of books in there that I am sure would fill up a small library. Thank you, Mr.ROB. You are the best. You are the almighty.

Alright, Embra. Let's get to work. Yep. So, first thing first, Let's find a place to sleep. After all, no matter how peaceful it sound, I am definitely not sleeping on the grass for whole night.

Getting up, I search for a place to sleep but, I didn't know that I forgot the most important thing which will bite me back later.

Walking around the meadow, I saw a cave not too far from where I was sleeping before. I decided that this cave will do for a temporary shelter as I do not see any animal or monster in the vicinity. Still, I did not let my guard down and approach the cave silently while holding the dagger in reverse grip on my right hand. Strangely the dagger doesn't feel strange and I become more confident, courtesy to the experience of two characters who are famous for their sword skills.

Nonetheless, my weariness is unfounded because there is no animal in the cave but, there sure are some vines and stuff, I needed to clean before I make a place to sleep. So, I decided to make the cave habitable using the tools in the inventory while also testing how much my body can withstand doing hard work.
