Chapter 3

They kept looking at me and saying things in a language I couldn't understand. Were they speaking bad things about me? Probably.

I stayed in the house with the milf and her daughter, the two who captured me. The milf's husband was also there, but I didn't mind him and ignored him to the best of my capabilities.

Their house was simple; apparently, all the technology was long gone. Considering the world was a mess, I was surprised people were still living, even in small tribes. Anyway, they put me in a cellar where they stored wine. It was pretty bad and made me think of horror movies, but I didn't mind.

The world still had plenty of dangerous beasts coming from the dungeons, so having a place to stay, even if it was a cellar, was much better than staying outside in the open, where any beast could pounce on me and end my pitiful life.

I lay on a straw bed that felt worse than a rock, looking at the ceiling and thinking about food. My stomach was growling, and I didn't have much energy left. I wanted to sleep to forget that I was hungry, but I was so hungry I couldn't sleep. Fuck.

Then, to my surprise and delight, the milf's daughter met me, carrying a plate with meat and potatoes. She came down the stairs, and her boobs bounced with every step. Man, her clothing had so little cloth that I thought I saw the tip of her nipples. Was I crazy, or was it there?

She handed the plate to me. I made a sign with my hands in a thanking manner. I wasn't an asshole who didn't thank those who helped me.

I was expecting her to give me the food plate and leave without muttering a word or losing her time with me, but instead, she lay on the bed beside me, taking out a small notebook and a feather pen.

She first waited for me to eat, and seeing how hungry I was, the food plate did not last long against me.

Then, she started writing something on paper, letters that I knew very well! Whatever language she used to communicate had the same letters as English, but the words and pronunciation differed. Still, I was confident in learning it, especially after the System gave me a nice reward that I wasn't expecting.

[New Passive]

[Reborn: +100% learning speed in any field: magical, battle arts, medicine, alchemy, language, etc.]

Did the system give me that after I broke free from frozen? Like, I saw many people frozen, and they did not look like they were getting out of it so soon. I did not even know how I got out in the first place.

Either way, I ignored the reason for getting that new passive and rejoiced. It was a tremendously powerful passive that would surely make me rise to the top.

We both sat there, and she tried to teach me basic sentences. Maybe I was talented with language learning, or it was the passive getting into play, but after the first class, I came up with some sentences!

"My name's Bill," I said in her language.

It surprised her! The woman had her mouth wide open as if she was ready to suck my cock… I mean, wide open in surprise! That was how good I was at learning.

She left after two hours of teaching, and I was happy with the progress. She talked to me during the class, so I was starting to understand a word here and there, and that allowed me to form some sentences and start improving my vocabulary.

That lasted for an entire week. She came daily with food and her notebook to teach me more about their language, and within just one week, I was almost fluent in it! If that was due to my new passive, then the system was crazy because that was way more powerful than a 100% bonus.

"Aria, are the people in the tribe still concerned about me?" I asked.

Aria was the name of the milf's daughter and the one who taught me everything about the language and the surrounding area. Her father did not come down in the cellar once; her mother only watched me from a distance. I could see she was staring at me with lustful eyes, and maybe that was the reason I did not hear anything upstairs coming from her room. She and her husband weren't having sex anymore.

"They are starting to accept your presence here," she said, smiling at me with her cute smile, "But you'll need to start working for the village to make them trust you more. Like hunting, fishing, and taking care of the farm. What can you do?"

I knew everyone in the village wanted to know where I came from because I didn't know their language, and all the tribes in the vicinity knew it. They believed I was from another continent or a distant land, but I told Aria I had lost my memories, which she told everyone.

It wasn't uncommon for people to lose their memory in tough fights against beasts from the dungeon. One could hurt his head often, or the beasts themselves could mess up with a person's mind; either way, they believed I was telling the truth, which was great for me. That allowed me to stay in that tribe where almost everyone was a woman!

Aria acted as a mediator for me, and they agreed to set me free if I started doing some work for them. The only problem was that I did not have much talent for it.

Out of everything available, I chose to hunt. Not because I had any experience in it or because it sounded fun. Heck, it was dangerous, considering a beast from the dungeon could attack me and end my life.

But I still chose it because Aria was a hunter herself, and she wanted to give me private classes inside the forest. That was an excellent opportunity to have fun with that amazon of woman.
